Chapter 22: Mother
Two days had gone by since the
wedding, and there had been no sign of Vincent since Sephiroth had spoken with
him on the outcrop. With all the excitement of the union, and the following
celebration, the red cloaked man had not been missed. But now he was, and
everyone was at a loss as to what could have befallen the silent gunman.
Cid was beside himself with worry,
as well as anger. He couldn�t understand why Vincent had not put in an
appearance at Cloud�s wedding. He thought back to the last time he had seen
him. It had been in the boy�s bedroom, when the little blond had thrown a
tantrum, and Vincent had rushed off somewhere. Cid had thought that the ex-Turk
had gone to look for Sephiroth. But that couldn�t have been the case, for
surely he would have returned with the silver haired man if he�d found him?
Unless��.
Thoughts unbidden came to Cid�s mind. What if Vincent had found Sephiroth�.and
Sephiroth hadn�t wanted to be found? What if a fight had ensued? What if
Vincent were lying somewhere, injured, hurt?
Troubled and concerned, he went to
look for him.
Meanwhile, Sephiroth had a nagging
instinctive feeling in his gut that Vincent was nowhere close by. And unlike
most of the others, the dark haired man had dominated Seph�s
thoughts a lot since their chat on the cliff top pinnacle. Although the
mysterious gunman claimed to have sired him, Sephiroth still held some
reservations, especially since the man claiming to be his father didn�t
look a day over twenty-five.
Father,
Sephiroth thought bitterly. After all this time of thinking he was alone in the
world, his father declares himself alive.
Now the question was�. where in
all of Gaia had Vincent disappeared to? Sephiroth had found out from Cid that Hojo had done something to Vincent years before. Sephiroth
was not fazed by that information; that was of no surprise there. If Hojo had experimented on him as a fetus, and then as a man,
and on his mother too, it only followed that his father would also be the
subject of experimentation.
The pilot hadn�t gone into any
great detail, but Sephiroth could tell that the airman knew a little bit more
than what he was willing to relate.
oOoOoOo
By the third day of Vincent�s
disappearance, Sephiroth was restless, and it didn�t take a genius to figure
out that the silver haired man needed to vent. Finding him propped up against
the counter, yet another drink in his hand, Zack told his friend to get out of
the bar for a few hours.
�Come on, Seph�.You�re
not doing yourself any favors looking through the world at the bottom of that
glass, you know. And how is Cloudy boy taking it, being ignored while you sit
around here, wallowing? You should be the happiest man in the world, married to
him! Are you nervous about going away on your honeymoon, eh?� he teased,
winking.
�Need some pointers on how to keep
your man happy in bed?�
Sephiroth playfully punched Zack�s
arm, smiling. Yes, he knew he was lucky to have Cloud.
�You go this Friday, don�t you?�
Zack said, referring to the start of Seph�s
honeymoon, rubbing his sore arm.� �Two
weeks of being alone together�.Whatever will you do to pass the time?� Zack
laughed, and relaxed when his friend laughed back with him.�
Pushing the unfinished drink away,
Sephiroth realized that in order for him to enjoy his honeymoon, he had to
settle his unfinished business with Vincent, which meant he had a few days in
which to find him and sort things out.�
So, with that in mind, he excused himself from Zack�s company, and went
to his room, equipping himself in his black leather uniform��.right down to Masamune.
Cloud came into the room just as
Sephiroth was walking out.
�You�You�re going somewhere, Seph?� the boy stuttered, the confusion showing on his
face. Why was his husband dressed in his military garb? And why was he taking
his sword?
Sephiroth stooped to plant a kiss
on Cloud�s upturned face, his hand cupping the blond�s
chin gently. �I won�t be long. There�s just something I have to attend to,� he
said softly.
Cloud knew it would be futile to
press Sephiroth for information. But he still needed to be reassured.� �Will�.will you be gone long?��
�No�.I�ll be back by
tonight�.hopefully,� Sephiroth answered, sounding more confident than he
felt.�
Cloud gave a small smile. He
didn�t like it, but what could he do? Once Sephiroth had his mind set on something,
there was no stopping him. �Can I come with you?� he asked, desperate to remain
at Sephiroth�s side.
�No my love, not this time,�
Sephiroth answered, breaking Cloud�s heart. �This is something I have to do
alone.� He turned to leave, and missed seeing the way the boy�s lower lip
quivered.
As Sephiroth descended the stairs
and entered into the bar-room once again to say farewell to Zack, a sense of
fear and anxiety washed over him, as startled looks and low whispers from the
occupants within the room buzzed around him. Everyone seemed as shocked as
Cloud had, to see him dressed so formally.
He cursed to himself as Tifa hazardously walked up to him, a strange gleam in her
eyes.
�YOU!� she breathed, pointing a
finger straight at Sephiroth�s chest.
A silver brow rose in question, a
look of distain clearly etched on Sephiroth�s face.
�You�BASTARD! You work for fucking Shin-Ra!� the girl accused.
At the gasps of disbelief behind
her, Tifa turned to face her friends, not
understanding why they didn�t see what she saw, why they didn�t know what she
knew. The finger still pointing towards the tall silver haired man was now
shaking slightly.
�He�� is Sephiroth,� she said
between clenched teeth, barely able to contain the anger within her voice.
The faces staring back at her were
blank. Mrs. Strife looked embarrassed for her, while Yuffie
tried to giggle and diffuse the situation.�
�Yeah, we know who he is, and your
point being?� asked Barrett, shifting his massive bulk in his seat, crossing
his arms and legs and getting comfortable, as if he knew a long lecture was
about to be delivered.
Frustrated at their apparent lack
of reaction, Tifa snapped. �As in GENERAL
Sephiroth�the one who nearly wiped out all the rebels of Costa del Sol and
demolished Fort Condor! The same shit-head General who
marched through Nibelheim, cutting down my
family and friends, because Shin-Ra pulled out their backing of the mako refinery, because they said it was in such bad
disrepair it wasn�t worth fixing. Which was a lie�..�
She paused, waiting for her words
to sink into the audience before her. Her heart was hammering in her chest, as
she waited for any one of them to dispute what she had just claimed. When,
after several moments, no-one said anything, she knew that her words had
finally struck home, that they believed her. Now she turned back to face
Sephiroth, a sneer making her pretty features ugly.
�So, General; when were you going
to tell us, and Cloud, that you�re nothing more than a murderer for that low
life snake, Rufus?�
Igniting Sephiroth�s tempter was
not a thing Tifa should have been doing at that
moment. Unfazed, his green eyes narrowed as he returned her accusing stare. His
own voice, when he spoke, was dangerously low.
�My involvement with Costa del Sol
is none of your business, little girl,� he said, emphasizing the last
two words to show to her and the others the contempt he held for her. �And as
far as Nibelheim is concerned, I ordered the
civilians to vacate the premises in order for my men to do their job. I don�t
appreciate having a mob threaten me, or those under my command, Miss Lockheart.� There was a cold edge to his voice.
�You killed my father!�
�I would have killed anyone
wielding a weapon against me in defense of protecting my own. And just for the
record, Tifa��
The temperature in the room was
getting colder with each word that came out of Sephiroth�s mouth. Frost was
developing on glass, making the bottles of liquid stacked behind the counter
crackle. A mist of fog was rolling into the bar-room from out of nowhere.
�Just for the record, my orders
were to neutralize the entire town. If I was such the cold bloodied murderer
that you claim, don�t you think that you would have been dead too?��
Tifa backed off�scared. There was no emotion in the cat-like
green eyes. She looked across desperately at Cloud, who had silently come into
the room just moments before, pleading with her eyes for him to intervene on
her behalf. But he stared only at his husband. Feeling betrayed and let down, Tifa ran from the main bar upstairs to her room, slamming
the door.
Sephiroth, boiling with his own
riled temper, turned to leave, when a small hand reached out and caught and
covered his. He stopped and looked down into intense azure orbs, his anger
dissipating as he saw the worry etched on his lovers face.
�I�m sorry, Cloud, that you had to
hear about that.�
�No, don�t be. Just� just be
careful, okay?�
Sephiroth smiled at his husband,
and bent to kiss Cloud, giving his tummy a gentle, affectionate rub. Then
before he could change his mind and stay, he quickly left 7^th
Heaven, closing the door behind him.
Upstairs, Tifa
watched through the window as the striking figure of the general strode
purposely away from the building. Her mistrust and hate of him simmered just
below the surface, and her gloved hands clenched into fists. If there was one
thing that the marital artist had learned, it was that tigers never change
their stripes.�
Sephiroth was dangerous�not just
to Cloud, but to the whole city of Midgar.
oOoOoOo

Not knowing where else to search,
Cid finally found himself rummaging through the old Shin-Ra mansion. But, the
only thing that he was able to find there, was more than his fair share of
empty rooms filled with dust and cobwebs, busted crates, and other useless
items.
Of Vincent, there was no sign.
Night was falling when he decided
to call a halt to his search and head back to his airship. He would venture out
again at first light, after getting some much needed sleep.
As he came outside and stood on
the once opulent front porch of the mansion, Cid�s
quick eyes saw a shadow, outlined in silver, swiftly maneuvering around the
dilapidated Shin-Ra home. Obviously there was no way for him to catch the
speeding object, but Cid knew that whatever it
was, it was heading up towards the side of Mount Nibel
with purpose and determination.
oOoOoOo
A sweet melodic voice captured
Sephiroth�s attention, as he silently entered the cave hidden on the other side
of Mount Nibel. He had followed his instincts in his search for his
missing father, and the pull had led him to this place.
For reasons unknown to him,
Sephiroth had always drawn toward this mountain, ever since he had first come
to Nibelheim, five years ago. That had been two years
before he had met Cloud.
Standing now in the vast cavern,
Sephiroth�s vision was greeted to something from legend.
In the middle of the dark grotto
was a glowing crystal of mako, and encased inside
this clear tomb was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes upon. Her
long brunette hair was wrapped high on her head in a free flowing pony-tail
similar, Sephiroth noted, to how he wore his most mornings before he got
dressed, or when he lounged around privately in his quarters. A long split
fringe outlined the delicate porcelain face that was frozen in sleep, curling
around the sculptured chin, and drawing attention to the sensuous features of
the nose and mouth.
Sephiroth�s eyes widened. He
realized he was looking at a female version of� himself.��
His eyes widened even further when
he saw that Vincent was there, standing in front of the suspended woman.
Although his father�s voice was low, barely above a whisper, the General could
hear clearly every word that was being spoken.
�I must fight to
control�..Chaos�..�
Deep heavy breathing followed, and
then a low guttural growl echoed in the cave.
Sephiroth cautiously approached.
He was but a few feet away from Vincent, fixatedly watching as the ex-Turk
fought to resist transforming into the beast that was raging to gain control
inside of him. The gunman�s face was a mask of pain, and sweat trailed down
from his brow. His breathing was hard, labored, his whole body shaking.
Sephiroth took another step forward.
Spinning around to face him,
Vincent stumbled before re-balancing himself. �You shouldn�t be here,� he
warned, Chaos still lurking just below the surface.
�I�m not leaving until I get an
explanation,� Sephiroth snapped back.
The men began circling each other,
preparing to face off, one angry at having his privacy invaded, the other angry
at being made to search. Their eyes locked on one another. They would have come
to blows, until another sad, apologetic voice cut in, the voice that Sephiroth
had heard upon entering the cave.
Stop� please�
An image floated down from the
crystal. The two men, their squabble momentarily forgotten, looked on in awe as
the transparent figure came towards them, walking around them�accessing them.
�You�re a lot taller than I imaged you would be.�
A giggle resonated.
�It�s a pity that you didn�t get your father�s eyes. They
are such beautiful eyes. But that�s my fault, I�m afraid.
Please don�t hate Vincent. He tried to stop me, but I,
being young and foolish trusted Hojo.�
She stopped walking, placing a
delicate finger to her small chin, as if deep in thought, only to grasp both
her hands behind her back in a playful manner, a smile playing about her lips.
�Sephiroth, this is all that is left of me. I don�t usually
come outside the crystal as it takes a lot of my energy.�
He and Vincent could see Lucrecia�s form beginning to flicker.
Sephiroth�s voice, just as subtle
as hers but as mesmerizing as Vincent�s asked, �I want to know why you weren�t
there to save me from that maniac?�
The smile disappeared from his
mother�s face. She knew only too well the manic her son was referring to, and
the pain and suffering he must have gone through.
�Hojo had shot
Vincent, taking care to hit him where it wouldn�t kill him out-right, giving Hojo enough time to conduct whatever experiment he was
working on, on Vincent�s dying body. He was keeping your father alive�barely.
Once he was finished, he left Vincent unattended in the lab. I was most
fortunate to have found Vincent; but the damage had already been done. To save
Vincent�s life, I did the only thing I could do� I infused the G substance into
him.�
�G substance?�
Sephiroth questioned, looking to Vincent�s half feral form.
�The G substance is an unstable strain of mako. Regrettably, because of his anger for not being able
to protect me, this is what the G substance has manifested into... Chaos. I had
no other choice but to place the protomateria within
Vincent to help him control Chaos. However, in this wild state, Vincent battles
for control over Chaos. The protomateria must never
be removed from his body otherwise it would unleash a terrible calamity, thus
ending all life on this plant.�
Lucrecia�s image
flickered once again as she walked up to her son. �Vincent is your father. Give him� time.�
Turning
to her beloved, she said, �We meet once again, Vincent.�
�This� is our place�� the dark haired man breathed.
�But like me, this place is a part of your past� You,
Vincent, must look to your� future��
Yellow eyes blinked, while glowing crimson orbs gazed lovingly at the former
female scientist. She faded slowly from sight, reaching up to place a kiss upon
Vincent�s parted lips and then, quickly glancing towards the caves entrance,
she vanished completely.
Vincent faced the crystal,
silently accepting what Lucrecia wanted. She wanted
him to live and not brood in his guilt�for he was not to blame. That fell back
to man who had started all this� Hojo.
�Are sins� ever forgiven?� Vincent
asked out loud.
Sephiroth wondered why his father
would ask such a thing. But then he understood why. Vincent�s soul was just as
tainted as his, with just as much blood on his hands.
Yes�
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: How was that? I totally
forgot to add author notes when I first posted the chapter�Sorry!
Well, now Sephiroth knows the
truth about what happened to Vincent and Lucrecia.
However, he still has one burning question unanswered. Can anyone guess what
that may be?
Also, Tifa is being a pain in the
ass to Cloud and he�s getting pretty tired of it. Does any one believe that
Cloud will be in fear of his life and his unborn child because of Tifa? Or will Sephiroth follow through with his promise and
just hack her to pieces? Don�t know? Well, stay tuned for the next chapter to
find out.

�Who is it?�
�Who�s what, Rufus?�
�The mother, of
course, Tseng. You can�t deny the boy
is not yours. He looks similar to you except for the hair and eyes.�
Tseng hung his head.
�I�m asking again and I won�t ask
a third time, Tseng. Who is the mother?�
