Chapter 19

Jay awoke the following morning. She went to get up, and surpressed a grunt when the burns across her body twinged. She dressed in a long sleeve shirt, and blue jeans to cover the burns. She went into the bathroom, and began washing her face. Once she was done doing that, she stepped out into the main room. Zax looked up. "Hey Jay." He said. Jay nodded.

"Wheres Sare?" She asked. Zax shrugged.

"I think they went to get some groceries." Jay nodded and began making cereal. "I think weve been fired from our job at seventh heaven." She said. Zax raised an eyebrow.

"Why's that?" he asked. Jay sighed.

"Well... I uh..." She couldnt find the right words. Zax shook his head.

"hey, no worries. i'll check up on him later. and see if we still got the job." Zax said reasurringly. Jay smiled slightly, and sat down to eat.

Sare and Emria had recently gotten back. at which Point, Zax had gone out. Now they waited. Jay sat still. Sure enough, Zax wlaked back in. "Fired." He said bluntly. everyone made groans of annoyancce. "however! We may not have enough for a buggy... but we do have enough for some chocobos!" Sare nodded.

"So, how do we get these chocobos?" emria asked. Zax lifted up the GiL in his hand.

"We first go to kalm, then from therre, to the chocobo farm. we have enough for four of them." Zax said with a big grinn. He then lowered the money. "however, i still doont realy understand... why were we fired?" He asked, sduddenly more serious. Jay looked to her mother.

"Mom... i dont think your going to want to hear this." Jay said. emria looked at Jay with confusion spread across her face.

"why not?" She asked.

"Just trust me mom. you dont want to know. go wait in the bedroom or something... please." Emria looked to Zax, then to Sare.

"Its probably for the best you dont hear this." Sare said in agreement. Emria looekd hesatant, but eventualy left the room. Jay looked to Zax. "I'm... Im different from other childeren... My lifes been changed forever when i found this..." She held up the masamune. "I'm... Sephiroths reincarnation..." Zax looked shocked. but the face gradualy subsided.

"Heh. i suppose i shouldve known. after all, how else could you have gotten that sword?" He asked. Jay was now the one with surprise on her face.

"you dont hate me for it?" she asked.

"No. cause im actually simillar... in a sence." Zax said. Jay looked at him with surprise. zax walked past them.

"I used to be a SOLDIER first class named Zack fair. I was killed by shin-ra quite a few years ago." he said.

"WHAT!" Sare almost shouted. jays jaw simply dropped. Zack turned around to face them. "y-y-your zack!" Jay stuttered.

"yup!" Zack said, giving his chest a thumb with his fist.

"Well... Why are you here... exactly?" Jay asked. Zack rubbed the back of his head.

"Well. thats a bit harder to explain. Ill give you the basic version, as i myself cant realy grasp the real version. Aerith, A dead friend of mine, senced that somehting bad was about to happen to the planet. so, she used some realy complicated magical thingy, and sent me down here to the planet in this body, to try and solve it. cause apperently, cloud cant do it himself." Zack explained.

"what have you managed to figure out?" Sare asked.

"that somehting, somewhere, is causing strange dimensional portals to appear, allowing creatures and peoples from different existances, to pass through into our own." Zack said.

"can i come back in now?" emria asked from the bedroom.

"Sure!" Zack replied. emria came back out. "so. to the chocobos?" She asked. Zack raised his hand.

"I have somehting i need to take care of first."
