Chapter 6 - Truth

"Sephiroth I need to know why this is so important. I wont do it if you don't give me an answer."

"I told you not to get involved with your past Taichi."

"I haven't! But that's obviously unavoidable now since my past is involved in this mission you want me to go on!"

"Sephi you might as well tell him. I told you he would want to know."

Sephiroth sighs, giving in to what Tidus said to him. "Fine. Hiroaki Ishida, the father of your friend has been gathering information on different organizations that deal with capturing and training young children to be assassins. His information is leading him to us. If he leaks any of this to the public we could be killed in a matter of days. I would rather not have to fight against anyone that might be sent after us so I feel that killing him would be best. He can't be trusted with this information so a simple threat will not be good enough. Taichi, I did not choose you for this mission to break you or put you against your old life. I chose you because it is your duty to protect my family and at the moment they are in danger. Will you accept this mission?"

I weigh all this information carefully. I have to think about this...I didn't think that I would be bombarded with all of this. If I take the mission I'll have to kill Yamato's father but if I don't...Riku, Seifer, Sora, Aerith, Cloud, Zack, Leon, Tidus, Hayner, Wakka, Marluxia, Demyx, Kari,...Roxas; they would all be lost. I don't know what I should do...I care to much for all of them to ever have to lose even one of them...

Protect everything you love and cherish with your life.

That's right...Roxas is right. Everyone...I'll protect them all. I swear.

"I accept." Life is about sacrifices. I will have to sacrifice some for them. I'm sorry Yama.


I'm really sorry the last 2 chapters have been so short but I really couldn't think of a better way to end them. Thanks for reading! The next chapter is a bit longer I think
