weakened -open to Zack/Aerith or both :3-

[Kadaj]

Lovers, thats what they were, he just knew it. The way they held Each other, spoke to each other, and even looked at each other had Love written all over it. With a Smug look, Kadaj looked away, (will I ever experience something like that?) he thought to himself.

"If he thinks he's going to get me to help him...he's got another thing coming..." Kadaj muttered before crossing his arms. Looking at Zack after hearing his speak, Kadaj was just about to talk back, but he decided to shut his mouth with a nod. "sorry...I'm a bit of a spazz at times..." he spoke. "but...im part of him...I'm the only one that can become him....as far as I know" he sighed.

When Zack keeled down next to him, he twitched a bit, but calmed down as fast as he could, "I...." Looking away he felt full of shame, "so I shouldn't Hide My pain?..." he asked, "I should just let the both of you hear me scream in agony as my memories invade my brain...." he asked as the tears slid down his face.

"I...Don't want....Jenova to be my mother anymore..." Looking at Aerith he sighed, thinking of her offer again, "I want you....i feel safe around you...your kindness is just too much" Looking at Zack again he took in a breath, "Sephiroth was....good once?..." he asked, "truly?" It was strange to hear it, that the most evil of evils was once good.

Lightly laughing a bit he chuckled, "Yea...the choice wither to live or die..." he sighed, "that was the only choice I've ever had...." Nodding he knew Cloud had the cells, there was no denying that. Maybe being around these two wasn't so bad after all, he felt good around them, a feeling he hand't felt in a long time.

Hearing Aerith speak, Kadaj nodded, "your right....I didn't...and with all the kindness both of you are showing me....i don't think I ever could..." he admitted. "In a sense she is our mother...we have her genes and cells running through us....but the name of Sephiroth's real mother is Lucrecia Crescent....she is his birth mother...and Hojo...is his father..." he sighed, "though most don't know that...because someone else took care of Sephiroth..."

Kadaj shrugged, "at one time i wanted to be Sephiroth...because mother loved him more...she always loved him more....and i just wanted to be loved like that...i wanted the love of a mother..." he sighed, "Look at me....im a 16 year old Clone...a remnant of a man who got all the attention..."

Looking away he sighed, "but after i brought about the reunion and actually letting him use my body...after Becoming that man...i don't want to anymore...." Kadaj admitted, "he put so much strain on my body...hurt me so bad i just wanted to die" Looking at Aerith Kadaj smiled, "i...like that quote...thanks..." he spoke before feeling slightly dizzy again. "i feel so cold though...." he spoke sadly as he hugged the blanked zack had brought out around himself.

Looking up at the Black haired man he gave a light smile before falling forward in Areith's arms. Again he felt tired and weak. "I'll take your offer..." he spoke as he clutched Aerith's hand lightly. He was scared, he just wanted to be held, to have a loving family to care for him, and these two were perfect. Smiling he looked up at them both, "be my family?" he asked, "both of you?"

[Zack Fair]

DON'T YOU SEE THEIR BODIES BURNING

desolate and full of yearning?

Zack's expression turned emotionless for just a moment, behind it hidden deep in his mind was rage towards Sephiroth, he wasn't to happy about the fact that he had killed Aerith, he had ruined so many peoples lives, that man was going to pay for what he did. Even if he and Sephiroth used to be friends of sorts. That didnt' seem to matter to him much anymore, but he still had something on his mind, he didn't know could Sephiroth change, go back to the way things had been before all of this, probably not. It wasn't like he wanted to go back to it anyway, or he would have already.

"Can't hold you accountable for something that would have never started...if he hadn't gone on that mission with us..."That was the same thing, if he hadn't taken Cloud with him, Cloud wouldn't have gotten hurt, neither would tifa, and then Aerith wouldnt' have died. So all in all, it all went down to one thing, and he knew what or who that one person was, and he wasn't going to bring it up now. He would deal with Sephiroth soon enough, and no one would get in his way. Zack looked at Kadaj and thought for a moment, this guy was different from Sephiroth, he wasn't going to hold anything against him, that wasn't how Zack worked.

"Kadaj I'm gonna say this to you...pain is pain it happens...but if you end up keeping everything bottled up...well then you become what Sephiroth is...and you dont' want that...that is obvious enough..."He thought back again to when Zack and Sephiroth had been different, and well Sephiroth hadn't been crazy."That Reactor...had he never gone there...would have found Jenova, no one would have gotten hurt, and well..."he spoke no more to that, and well it must have meant something but later on it would be dealt with.

Zack was not to sure about this at first, but this kid was really trying to change, and well if Aerith was really going to be Kadaj's mother, well then Zack would have to take up the other role, and plus he was beginning to feel like having Kadaj around wouldn't be so bad. "Yes Kadaj we are your family now..."He looked to Aerith, then back to Kadaj, even though he knew he would have to be a bit cautious, it wasn't that much of Kadaj anymore. "So now it it time to get you better...and well hopefully you can fall asleep to..."
Maybe they would move to another place, after all that would be better, but for now he had to get a bit better, and he wasn't going to be walking anyway. That was something Zack was going to be sure about.

[Aerith Gainsborough]

Aerith shook her head "Kadaj your screams of agony will never compare to Zack's singing" she giggled.The man sounded like a cat who's tail had been stepped on ... but she loved him no less.She then frowned "You won't ever have to be him again okay.Your with us now you never have to be like him ever again.Promise" she muttered holding his hand after she caught him "Ofcourse" she smiled "I'm happy to be you mother" she smiled wrapping the blanket round him before turning to Zack

"Right Dad I think you owe me a explanation on where you've been all night.I think you can start with that date you promised me and you can help me take care of our poor child" she joked before giggling "You can go get us take out if you want?" she smiled "I'm in the fmood for Wutai"

[Kadaj]

Looking at the Emotionless Expression on Zack's face, kadaj began to worry slightly. What If Zack didn't agree to taking kadaj in as Aerith wanted to? would that cause a fight between them? Deciding to stay Quiet he watched to see what would happen, or what they would say to each other.

"It was because he wen't with you that he found out he secrets of his life...right? in the ShinRa mansion basement?...His memories...they sometimes play in my head like a movie of some sort...sometimes It's like I'm looking through his eyes and sometimes its like I'm watching all of It from the eyes of another..." he spoke shaking a little. "I can see them now...Sephiroth...walking away...surrounded by a blazing fire..."

Seeing these memories play through his mind scared him a little. He shivered and closed his eyes before shaking his head to help clear his thoughts, "really....I blame ShinRa....for everything..." he spoke lightly.

Looking away he though about Zack's words, and he was right. Bottling things in and never letting them out, slowly makes one go crazy. So with a nod he spoke, "I understand..." he sighed.

Smiling he placed one hand on Zack's, and the other on Aerith's with a light sigh. Was this was true happiness was about? was this what it felt like to be happy? Giggling a little he spoke, "I've always been told I sing good" he chuckled.

Shivering again, Kadaj hugged the blanket closer around himself, "good...." he smiled, "I'm glad I ended up here..." laughing a bit he looked up at Aerith as he lay his head in her lap, "oh come on...be easy on him mother..." he said with a smile.

[Zack Fair]

Zack flinched a bit as she brought that up, it was when he had been drunk of course, or else it probably wouldn't have happened, but Zack was a very very odd drunk that had been known to many people. And Aerith was one of them, but he ignored it, that was not important to him. He was back, and Aerith was to, and now Kadaj, he might have been all odd before...but still now he was different, or at least he was trying to be different. That had to mean something, and well to Zack it did. But no one would ever understand what was going through Zack's mind, he was just secretive like that.

"An explanation....well leave it at got wrapped up in something else..." he remembered the date he had promised, and well if she was in the mood of food, then maybe he should do something about that, he had to keep himself just a tad bit hidden for now. " Well this is gonna be interesting who would I run into first..." He was joking around, they all were, well most of them anyway, it wasn't like he cared to much about being seen, it was only a matter of time. "His memories play in your head...well then you know some of what I'm talking about...Cloud even knows...we all have the memories from that time..." sometimes he wished it would just go back and yet this time he had something he never had then, and he was happy. He found Aerith, and well if he could help Kadaj then he would.

"I'm sure you do Kadaj..." He knew that they would have to move sooner or later, but for now letting Kadaj sleep was a good thing, if he would fall asleep, and well even if he didn't, well that was all that happened and nothing else would matter. This Kadaj kid was different, nothing like Sephiroth at all, it made Zack think about life again and maybe it was good to have another outlook on this world, and the life he had just gotten back.

[Aerith Gainsborough]

She held the silver haired boy before letting his head rest on her lap.She played with the silver boys hair.She had a family now.She loved the boy but her maternal instincts had kicked in fast "Are you feeling tired Kadaj" she asked him softly.

She looked up at the man who she loved.The man who made her heart beat so she believed it may burst out of her chest.He looked like a angel to her.A small smile graced her lips "I knew you had a good reason.Your back now Zacky that's all that matters to me.That your here with me ... now" she said beconing him over

"We could be a proper mom and dad and put our kid to bed and then go shall we go ourselves" she asked before going red "Not like that I mean go to sleep"

[Kadaj]

"I bet everyone will be shocked to see us all alive again" Kadaj spoke with a slight chuckle. Kadaj was starting to feel a bit better, but he was getting hungry with this talk of food. "do they play in your head at random times? Even when your mind is far from thinking about him or anything about him?...." he asked, wondering if it happened to them too.

Feeling Aerith play with his hair, Kadaj smiled lightly before thinking, (i wonder what Loz and Yazoo would think of this?) "not really" he answered, "I'm actually starting to feel a bit better...like the cells are starting to try and heal me..." he smiled, "about darn time..." he chuckled.

Listening to the way Aerith talked to Zack, reminded him of a romance novel of some sort, maybe even a movie. But with how weird this new family seemed to be, maybe it would be like a soap opera, or maybe even a romantic comedy.

Laughing a bit at Aerith's sudden spark of embarrassment he couldn't help but roll over on his back, "sorry...I'll stop laughing now..." he grinned. "I can Find something else to do if you two wish to spend some...." he thought about the words a bit, "alone time" he chuckled.

[Zack Fair]

Zack did wonder what Cloud and the others would think when they saw them, it was just about time that he went back and talked to Cloud, it would probably shock him to no end seeing as in this boy was well killed, and Cloud had been there. But that would have to wait for now, it was not something that mattered to him right now.“At times yes they do…not that it’s something that I want to think about now…” he was trying to hope that Sephiroth was not back, that would create many problems for Zack, Cloud, and everyone else. Of course there was still so much that had to be done, and then there was everything else that he had to make sure he could do.

“Well that’s a start…” Zack knew that this was going to be a good thing, even if right now he was a bit wary about it, there was just something not to right about this whole thing, and yet it wasn’t like he thought it had anything to do with Kadaj. “The cells…” He was reminded of something else, he wondered what happened to Genesis, he had died, and didn’t know what had happened to him, did he still have that problem where he needed the cells or whatever he had called them. ‘Have to get my mind off the past even if well it’s hard at this point…’

“We will see Kadaj…for now…let’s just see….” He thought for a moment, should they go to one of the cities, it would be a bit of a shocker, if anyone who knew them saw them, but still they were bound to find out eventually. Zack was wondering now about the fact that he had to talk to Cloud again, was he still like he had been before, the last time he had thought he had seen him, well Cloud had ended up being a bit more out of it then Zack would have thought. “So Kadaj…I do have a question for you though….you say you see some of Sephiroth’s memories…what all have you seen…” He wasn’t pushing for him to tell him, but still there was still something that was confusing him.
