A/N: I had noticed I had a severe lack of Genesis, for though I dislike the man, I'm sure if I wrote him properly I'd love him like I love Angeal and them. So yes. SOME GENESIS! With a side of Angeal, since he's fun. : D
Anyhow, I had always kind of wondered what made Genesis leave. Well, I know why he left, but I guess what I wanted to know what, how did he first react to his 'monster-like' qualities. And did he know what it was all about at first? It's been a while since I've played the game, so he could've known. Or not. But this is just an idea. : ) Enjoy!

The book clattered to the ground, though he did not seem to notice it at first.
He was too busy staring at himself in the mirror, wondering when everything had changed so horribly…so drastically.
There was nothing particularly different about him. He still had his reddish brown hair, falling over his eye in a manner that annoyed him and made women swoon. He wore his usual custom-made uniform, going against protocol because that was what he did. Hell, he still looked as sarcastic and narcissistic as he always had.
Yet he knew everything was different. Everything was changed. Everything was wrong.
All because of the flash of something not right he had seen not thirty-five seconds ago.
There was a knock on the bathroom door and he jumped, looking over at it with narrowed eyes. "What?" he hissed, feeling himself fold in slightly, as if trying to protect himself from unseen enemies.
"Are you all right, Genesis?" Angeal's voice, concerned, quiet, gentle. So like the man he had always known. So like the boy he had always looked up to.
"I'm fine, Angeal," Genesis said sharply. This was not the first time the man had ask him this. "Leave me be."
He heard a soft sigh, before footsteps walked away. Once he was sure he was alone, he looked back at the mirror, breath caught in his throat as once again he saw the ink-black shadow of a wing.
