Chapter #3 Midgar Reborn

The first sight of the ruins of their home cut deep into the spirit of Tiffa and Barret and even Sephiroth found himself feeling strangely saddened over the distruction wrought by his insane doings. "I have much to attone for." He murmured. He was brought out of his reverie by a slap to the back of his head. "Don�t be spewing all that attonement crap! You sound to much like Vinnie when you say those things and in a relationship only one person can be all morbid and gloomy at a time and that�s him!" Yuffie beraited him with gently miffed tones. He tuned to her and smiled softly. "As you say my little Shinobi. You do have a point there. He does indeed have �dibs� on being the morbid and cheerless one of the group doesn�t he?"

They laughed together and Yuffie handed him a spare pair of Cloud�s boots and a shirt of Vincents. "Socks are in the boots. Best get ready we will be working all day and long into the night with the remaining Shinra crews on the rescues." Cloud told him as he passed by. "I am ready. Who now leads shinra, the young Rufus?" he asked. "Unless they dug his ass out of the rubble of the Shinra building�s top floors after the weapon attacked nope. Reeve is most likely in charge now." Barret informed him.

Sephiroth walked between the young Shinobi and his lover as they proceeded to the volunteer center along with their guide the robot Cait Sith, operated by the one called Reeve, a turk who was acting president of the remains of Shinra Inc. They signed in at the center and were sent out immediately to help the remaining Turks at the sight of a collapsed orphanage where several dozen of the small residents were still trapped in the rubble.

After aiding in the digging and even taking a turn telling stories to sooth the frightened children Sephiroth found himself to be sad no longer. Instead he was enraged! How could these muck abouts be so slow when these tender lives were at stake! "ENOUGH!" he bellowed. Then he stood up and flipped open his gauntlet to expose the wind materia he had retrieved as they left the north crator. "Hang on to something small ones. I am getting you out of that hole now!"

Sephiroth ordered the little children. They did well and as they were told holding tightly to the pilings still buried in the earth that had saved their lives in the first place by stopping the colapse before the basement was filled with rubble. He invoked the third level aero spell and the debris were blasted away leaving only the slghtly ruffled young ones and their one living guardian clinging to the pillars. Once silence settled on the site and the kids were all lifted free of what was nearly their tomb the whole team cheered him like he as some kind of hero.

A small blond girl of about seven came up to him and hugged him around the waist. "Thanks or saving us Mr. SOLDIER Sir." She said. He smiled and asked softly "However did you know I was a SOLDIER?" The girl smiled and gestured up to him in a way that meant �pick me up please� knowing the fate of an orphan child was to be held far to little in their young years he obliged the little one. "Teacher tought us about Materia and how only brave warriors and mighty members of organizations like SOLDIER had the ability to make materia level up by fighting big monsters. Teacher is in Heaven now." The little one finished. With a shake to clear the tears from her eyes.

Sephiroth carried the small one over to the medics who were standing by. "I think this one will be fine once she has some food and water in her." he said and handed her over to the waiting EMT. "Hey Mr. SOLDIER wait!" He turned back and found himself with her once again wound about his legs. "my pen pal is in Heaven now too. He died in the uprisings. Will you be my penpal now instead?" he nodded and waved Yuffie over to him.

"Give this little one your address please Yuffie. It would seem that I have inherited a pen pal from one of the fallen." He instructed the slender shinobi. Yuffie searched in her light pack until she found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote out her adress for the little one. "My name�s Carrie Mr. SOLDIER. What�s yours?" the small girl asked him. "Can you keep a secret little Carrie?" He asked in his turn. She nodded wordlessly. "My name is Sephiroth, but you my little pen pal may call me Sephy." Her eyes widened in shock but as a hardened Orphan, even at so young an age she got over it quickly. "I am glad you are back to being normal in the head now Sephy." She told him, and then with a parting hug she ran off to the remaining Orphanage keeper to get food and clean clothes.

"That was nothing short of adorable my love." Vincent whispered in his ear as they walked back to the volunteer center to grab some food of their own. He just smiled. It seemed to him that kindness was something he longed for both from others and as a gift he wished to share with them now. It was the main reason that he was sure of himself now. Sure that JENOVA�s cells were the only taint of her corruption that remained in him. He sat between his fellow trio members and wolfed down his food without tasting it before going out again to dig out some more of the survivors.

Barret watched as his former foe worked side by side with those whom he had so carelessly tried to destroy a week ago. Had it ben that little ago that they had been out to kill him and he them? It seemed like he had ben a good guy for much longer then that. Cloud walked by with Tiffa in tow, obviously intent on taking a little necking break, which made him smile. Life goes on no matter the tragedy that befalls us. He thought with some cheer, and then went back to restoring the power to this sector.

The water turbines up at the dam were going to be working double time without the mako reactors, but they had ben shut down in respect for the planet at last, and new power sources and old were being brought to bear to meet the needs of the people. He finished his work and gave a hand sign to one of Cid�s crewmen down at the switch. The man threw the breakers and the lights in the hospital and streetlamps flickered before they flared to steady life. "A good day�s work if I do say so myself Sir. I am going to go bunk down now if you don�t need me anymore." Barret noded and waved the young man off to his bunk. He was of a mind to do so himself. It had been a long if fruitful day and they had all earned some rest.

A month had pased since the beginning of reconstruction and on weekends Cloud had joined Sephiroth and Vincent at the mansion. "More then anything this place really belongs to you Vinnie dearest so it is up to you what to do with the hulking memory trap." Sephiroth told the gothic gunman. "I think that if it is alright with Tiffa and Cloud I will gift it to them as an early wedding gift to do with as they wish. Perhaps with a new coat of paint and some cheerful furnishings it might make a good bed and breakfast?" Vincent replied. Sephiroth�s eyebrow arched in wonder then he laughed. "A grand idea precious! Put my name on the card as well would you?" Then with a swift kiss to his goth�s lips he went downstairs to get some tea.

Yuffie had also decided to bunk in one of the many dilapidated rooms, and with what little of her strength that remained had taken over being cook for those of the AVALANCHE members that had taken up temporary residence in the sagging building. She proved to be surprisingly efficient and talented at cooking even for so large a mob as themselves and the crewmen of the Highwind. She held out a cup of his favorite orange peakoa tea with a hint of cinnamon and just a tiny sprinkling of sugar in it. "That what you were after?" She asked though she already knew it was so. "Yes. Thank you Yuffie." He replied. She slid a plate of cookies over to his side of the table before roatating her chair just as he did and sitting down with her slender arms draped across the back of it.

"So Reeve has found some new crystal substance burned out by the meteor that he is going to use in place of all the metal plating of old Midgar. It�s ben tested and seems to be twice as strong as steel in it�s raw state and thre times stronger still when they process it into fibers or sheets for building." She said causally. "Whomever thought that the slime infested City of Midgar would someday rise from it�s own ashes and become Crystal Midgar." He agreed. She smiled. "Yeah I bet that�s what they are going to call it Sephy baby! Your so poetic, who knew it!" She laughed and then she got up, came around the table and hugged him tightly. He embraced her back with equal enthusiasm. He was almost used to haveing touchy feely friends like the young shinobi and his pasionate one constantly bestowing physical affections and teasingly cute nicknames on him. As accustomed as he was growing to it it would never become old that he was sure of. "I�ll be in the library looking at some of the cook books if you or Vinnie need me Sephy." She told him, and then the rapidly maturing Yuffie went out the kitchen doors to continue her culinary research.

He finished his tea, and got a cup of coffee for his ever caffinated lover, with only a slight sprinkling of sugar. Taking the rest of the plate of cookies he walked back up the stairs to find his lover meditating in the center of the floor in the room they shared. His ruby red eyes snapped open at the scent of strong coffee though and he shared a rare smile with Sephiroth. "Bless you love for your consideration...Yuffie did make that didn�t she?" Vincent asked. "Do you doubt my love enough to think that I would wish to poison you with my own sludgy brew? Yes Yuffie made it just for you and Cloud. You two should try to cut back. I can�t understand how you can drink it then not be bouncing of the walls." The silvermane said with a teasing wink.

A few hours later, after spending some personal time together in the one working shower, he and Vincent made their way down stairs to find Yuffie. She was looking through the cuppards and fridgerator with something as close to despair as he had ever seen in the little shinobi. "Are we out of some critical ingredient precious?" Vincent asked her. "Try out of everything dear gothboy. Everything!" Yuffie replied in a frustrated snarl. "Well since we all have mases of gill and the new grocery store surely has what we require lets go get it." Sephiroth suggested. "Okay then. I guess everyone can wait till six for dinner or finagle their own out of the remains of the dry goods." Yuffie replied.

It was only then that they understood how seriouly he had taken this whole cooking task. She had few construction skills and though she was good at slaying monsters that might assault the repair and recovery teams she was not even anyplace near the top of the list when said list held such persons as Cloud and Cid, Vincent and himself, and even Barret and Tiffa. This was how she felt useful, and it suddenly felt like they should help her out as much as posible. "We are at your service my little Shinobi." He promised and bowed low. He was rewarded by another enthusiastic hug this time from both Yuffie and Vincent. Then after Yuffie had ran upstairs and rounded up some Gill from one of her secret stashes she dashed back down and dragged them out the door to the store.

He now understood why he had been feeling inclined to aid the small shinobi. Even with the amazing strength contained in her shapely teenaged limbs she would have had trouble bearing home the masses of groceries that she insisted on purchessing. As they waddled back to the mansion laden down with heavy sacks of groceries he walked up next to Vincent and said, "My dearest one I do believe it is time to get that vehicle of yours out of storage and working again. I do not look foreward to making this run to many more times on foot." Vincent nodded in agreement. "I can help with that! And I am sure Shera can spare a few moments to help too!" Yuffie added with an enchanting smile on her face. Then she ran up the mansion steps and into the kitchen with her heavy load leaving them behind for the moment. "She is going to be a danger to every male from sixteen to sixty once she decides to take an interest in them you do realize." He said to his gothic lover.

Vincent scowled at the thought of a boy crazy Yuffie. "That and since her father does not really care all that much about her except as a materia hunter it will fall to us to fight off the ones who are less then worthy." He agreed. Sephiroth scowled too now and set down his bags beside Vincents on the long counter. "Such a weighty task makes one almost contemplate keeping her for ourselves once she is of an age to need such attention." He whispered in Vincent�s ear. "I doubt even between the two of us we could keep up with her but the thought does bear considering when the time comes." Vincent agreed then he swirled out of the kitchen and made his way towards the garage to take a look under the hood of his car and see what needed repairing after sitting so long idle.

He was tinkering around with the thing when he smelled the scent of Yuffie approaching with a tray of food. "You are lucky I love you Vincent Valentine, otherwise you would have missed dinner and not had any food at all!" She chastised him softly. He accepted the tray, setting it on the workbench and then embracing the small shinobi with his good arm. "Indeed I am a most fortunate man to be so loved." He agreed. Then feeling an odd urge to be playful he smeared a smudge of grease across her freckled cheek. She squeeled in outrage then attacked him, knocking them both to the floor. Laying there on the hard cement pinned by the nubile young shinobi he realized just exactly how tempting this little piece of forbidden fruit was. He promised himself a good shag with Sephiroth to get this out of his system for however long the fix would last as he deflected her playful attacks with his good hand.

He did not want to hurt her. No not ever, and taking her unconcious offering at this age would not do well for their trio at all. However he was even further behind Sephiroth�s eventual plan to make them a true trio when the girl came of age. He finally pinned the shinobi�s arms to her side and voiced his wish that she stop. "O.k. then Vinnie. Yer dinner�s getting cold so I better let you get to it. See you for training tomorrow morning?" She asked.

Yuffie had taken up the habbit of waking her fellow trio members at dawn for training sessions. These were mostly sparring between her and himself and then even match ups between himself and Sephiroth. Whomever eventually won out between the two of them got top position for three days at a time. He had won the last three of their bouts much to his partner�s ill concealed delight.

Sephiroth would never admit to liking being the bitch but if it was something he owed to satisfy a better�s debt he would give in almost easliy and suffer no wounds to his ego. Just so long as he �lost fair and square� he �minded not at all.� Vincent polished off his dinner rapidly, eager to get ahold of the general and get himself some before this lovely hard on Yuffie had given him faded away. After all, being a Turk and then a member of AVALANCHE, had tought him never to waste any opportunities that might never cross his path again.
