A/N: Thanks everyone, for the reviews and the cameos. XD Although I probably should have mentioned that the group isn't exactly on the right side of the law... :/ Don't worry, they won't be murderers or anything. They're just...eh, you'll see.

It'll be a while before they make an appearance. And I want at least one more character, so if anyone else out there wants a cameo, just say so. XD

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII or any of its characters.

Chapter Nine

The sun was just beginning to rise over Midgar Edge. The blue light was illuminating the city, calling people awake, making way for a new day. Kadaj stood braced against the window, gazing out into the city. He dared somebody to walk by and see him. He wanted an excuse to leave, to get out of here. It had been two days now, and his restlessness was starting to give way to anger.

He had spent those two days in confusion and concern, wondering just where Yazoo was, and why he had left. He hadn't even bothered to contact him, and Vincent hadn't heard anymore from Shelke. This seemed so unnatural for him, to not know where his brother was. Even when he had awakened the second time, when they were all miles and miles apart, he knew where his brothers were. He could sense them and find them.

But that was mostly because they wanted to be found. The situation was different now. Yazoo had left him in the dark, for the first time in their lives. And he didn't like it.

It was frustrating. On top of that, he seemed to be the only one concerned for Yazoo's well-being. Cloud was worried, but more worried that Yazoo would do something wrong. Vincent hadn't been concerned enough to continue looking, or to even stay and offer Kadaj and Loz some comfort. He went back to the WRO to continue with the research. Sure, he was only a matter of miles away. But still...

Everyone seemed to go back to normal. No one else had the feeling that something bad was going to come from all of this.

Kadaj let out a frustrated sigh, pushing himself away from the window. He began to pace around the bar, his hands clenched into fists.

He had stayed at Seventh Heaven for the most part of those two days. Occasionally, he would go back to the church, but his restlessness would bring him back here. Cloud would manage to calm him down, and Loz would lose his worry around the beautiful bartender. But it would only last so long, and Kadaj would find his mind racing again, and find himself arguing with the voice in his head.

Pacing seemed to silence it. It would clear his mind all the way around. If he was lucky, maybe it would tire him enough to where he could actually sleep.

He brought himself to a sudden halt, his eyes going to the counter, settling on the ring of keys set there carelessly. His eyes flashed to the upstairs, where Cloud and Tifa were sleeping in silence. He then looked to Loz, who was asleep in one of the booths, in the same fashion Kadaj had been before.

Kadaj was faced with a choice. He could hear Aeris in this thoughts, telling him what he knew would be the right thing to do. Be patient, wait, remember the person you're trying to be.

But his life's purpose seemed secondary at this moment. There was only one thing on his mind, and that was Yazoo. He could break a few rules, give into a few impulses. If it would silence the voice in his head, if it would put his heart at ease.

He ran up to the counter, snatching the keys.

The noise caused Loz to stir from his slumber, his elder brother lifting his head and staring at him in confusion. He blinked away his tiredness when he realized what Kadaj was holding, and where he was going.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm going to find Yazoo," Kadaj informed, twirling the ring of keys around his finger once, as he made his way to the door.

"But-"

"Don't worry," he cut him off, offering him a smile. "I won't leave you. I'll be back."

"But..."

Kadaj quickly pulled the door open, stepping out into the brisk morning air. He quickly made his way over to the garage, where Fenrir sat in wait. He couldn't help but smile as he approached the bike. It was a smooth ride when he rode with Cloud, he wondered how it would be having the motorcycle under his own control. How much different would it be from the other bikes he had ridden?

He wiped the thin layer of dew from the metal, his eyes brightening with excitement as he mounted Fenrir, inserting the key into the ignition.

"Hey!" a voice called from behind him.

He smiled, unable to deny the piece of him that was calling from his past. He toyed with that part of himself, letting an ounce of it show through as he glanced back at Denzel. The boy was standing just outside the door, his eyes full of anger. Kadaj only winked, before he started the engine.

He knew Cloud wouldn't be oblivious to the noise. It would wake him, and he would run downstairs only to find his prize possession gone.

"Hey!" Denzel yelled again, as Kadaj pulled away from the garage, driving Fenrir to full speed as he took off through the streets of Edge, leaving Seventh Heaven and all his fears behind him.

Action was before him, and the relief he would feel when he finally found Yazoo.

A/N: I really enjoyed writing this chapter, even though it was short. It's always fun when Kadaj's deviousness comes back.

Please review. :)
