A.N. Yay! Chapter 30! There's a bit of comedy in this one, some smut, and a challenge issued! We have three authors that have written pieces for this chapter :) (It is SO fun with the four of us working on this! Challenging, and satisfying!) The first piece is mine, the second (With Sassi) is Emily, and, of course, Sukai's part is our dear riverseithr. Hope you enjoy, loves! R&R!
Chapter 30
Sharp and warm, nagging, pulling, beating at her senses like the icy winds of Icicle Inn against the worn walls of the village homes.
She'd felt this many times in the last couple of weeks. Kiku bolted upright, a gasp escaping her cracked and chaffed lips as she focused all of her energy on where the nagging force was coming from.
It felt almost as if Miriam and Fionn were in danger, but at the same time, different. The past few times that her Cetra had been in peril, the feeling that washed over her was unbearably cold, stabbing at every nerve in her body and it wouldn't go away until her Cetra were safe again.
This feeling was just as persistent, though instead of the blistering cold, it was warm... nearly warm enough to lull the girl back to sleep.
Kiku made her decision. She had to find out what it was. She had to make absolutely sure that whatever was causing this feeling would not be a threat to her charges. She glanced to their sleeping forms, both curled around each other, and her. So this is what her mother felt for Aunt Sassi? It was almost too much. The need to keep her Cetra safe was overwhelming, desperate, and devouring. She felt like she would, and could do anything in the world to keep them safe.
Her thoughts focused once more when her blood-gifted supernatural hearing picked up what sounded like panting. But it was... feral.
Without further thought, the child Guardian carefully extracted herself from the grip of her two charges, moving as quietly and as quickly as she could.
Whatever the beast haunting the predawn forests of Wutai was, it would not be allowed to harm her friends.
!#$%^&*()
Nanaki had been running hard, pushing himself like he hadn't since the Jenova War all those years ago. It had already taken him far too long to reach the Wutaian continent. The ships departing had been delayed, and to top it off, the giant lion knew that at some point, he had been followed.
He knew that no human could match his speed, and was not incredibly worried about being spotted or captured by whatever suicidal idiot was following him.
He internally cursed that Godo had forbidden the use of cellular phones within the walls of Wutai. They could have already informed Yuffie and her fiance weeks ago! They had been trying for weeks to reach her, leaving messages, texting, emails, everything they could think of short of using messenger birds. The birds were too risky. There was too much of a chance that the creature could be intercepted.
He also found it strange that in those weeks, Yuffie had not tried to contact them. Normally, she would leave the city once a week and make calls to ensure the safety and well-being of her friends... but no, they'd not heard from her. He knew that Michael's graduation to ranking Wu Sheng was coming up, and the induction ceremony would take time and focus to prepare – it was a rather sacred thing to the Wutaians – and he supposed that could explain her lack of contact.
He felt an odd sensation, he'd felt it for a while. It sort of tingled under his fur, forcing the course coat on the back of his neck to stand on end.
He thought it might be something to do with Sassi's children, and Harmony's daughter. Perhaps his own ancestry was trying to point him in their direction?
He shook off the thoughts of following that trail. Even if it was his instincts trying to help him locate the children, he wasn't so naïve as to think he could rescue them alone. All he could do was rush, leaping through the forest like a beast crazed and trying to shorten the three-more-weeks-by-foot trek to Wutai, and hope that the others would listen to him. If his own heritage and blood-gifted senses were pin-pointing on the children, finding the base of operations and getting them back would be as simple as a phone call away.
Nanaki thought of the cell phone strapped to his leg, meant for Yuffie's use.
"Damn my lack of opposable thumbs!"
!#$%^&*()
Kiku watched the trees closely. She could feel that the creature she'd been hunting was closing in on her location.
Her little fists clutched the sharpened rock she'd taken – the one used for cleaning the fish or other animals they were lucky enough to catch – until her knuckles where white and her hands were shaking.
As if she were a seasoned hunter, a warrior with years and years of experience, she sensed the moment the creature was in range. She threw herself from the bush, her small body colliding with a mass of bright orange-red fur and steely muscles.
The creature snarled, rounding on the girl and snapping its teeth before freezing in shock. Kiku used the animal's obvious distraction to her advantage, once again throwing herself at the giant feline.
The two grappled, Nanaki doing everything he could to protect himself from the razor-sharp rock the child held, while at the same time not damaging her in any way. Her scent was familiar, she smelled like a cross between Jenova and Harmony, and that could only mean one thing. If only he could remember her name!
He heard the sound of feet crashing through the bushes, and knew that he had to get her to stop, and hide the both of them. The last thing he needed was for the GR to catch him with one of the children. With as much force as the lion dared use, he slammed his body into the girl's, using just enough pressure with his massive paws to pin her to the ground
"No don't eat me!" The girl cried, struggling and wriggling.
"Cease this infernal struggling, girl! I am not going to eat you!" He hissed quietly.
With that sentence, the girl's eyes widened comically. Nanaki then winced when she let out an ear-piercing shriek.
"It talks! Get off! Get off getoffgetoffgetoff!" She screamed, trying to wiggle her arms out from under his paws so that she could attempt to push him off of her.
The crashing in the bushed grew louder and Kiku stilled, her face paling.
"No! Fionn, Miri! Go away! It isn't safe!" She cried, feeling her charges coming closer.
When Nanaki heard the names, he immediately removed himself from the child beneath him. "Wait!" He called when she crawled to her knees and searched frantically for the rock.
"I am not going to hurt you, or the Cetran children. I am a friend! I've seen your mother!" He said, taking a hesitant step forward.
Kiku stilled. "My mommy?"
The snapping of twigs and branches stopped abruptly as Fionn flung himself from the cover of the brush, his face contorting in shock and confusion when he saw the large feline staring at his Guardian.
"Nanaki!" He cried, turning and calling for Miriam to join them in the small clearing.
Miriam rushed to Kiku's side, throwing her arms around her sobbing friend. "Its okay! He's Mommy's friend! He can help us!" She turned to the cat. "You will, won't you?" She asked.
"Fionn." Nanaki said, holding his paw out. "Take the phone from my leg. I want you to call your mother. Now."
Fionn nodded, utterly relieved and near to tears. "I'll climb a tree and see if I can get it to work." He said.
Nanaki then turned to Kiku and Miriam. "How did you escape?"
Miriam looked at Kiku. The poor girl was too shocked to speak. "It was Kiku. She did... something... I'm not sure what... But she killed the guard that was trying to hurt me, and then blew a hole in the wall of our cage and got us out."
Nanaki nodded. He'd heard from Harmony that Kiku had bonded. "How long ago?"
"Well... I'm not sure, but I've been trying to keep track. We've been trying to get to Aunt Yuffie for eighteen days."
Nanaki felt as though he'd swallowed his tongue. Over three weeks? These three children had been wandering the wilds of the Wutaian continent for over three weeks...?
Fionn interrupted their conversation when he dropped from the branch above them. "I can't get it to work. It keeps beeping at me and it says 'S...'" He tried to read the words. "Ser...vice... not ava... available."
Nanaki nodded, and then flattened himself to the ground, eyes wide as he barely avoided having his eyes gouged out by a livid Cosmic Hawk.
"Sunrise, no!" Kiku cried, the bird succeeding in pulling her out of her shock.
The hawk screeched warningly and landed on Kiku's shoulder, glaring murderously at Nanaki all the while.
The cat just shook his head. Of course the Guardian child would have attracted a Cosmic Hawk.
"Come on then," he sighed. "I'll have to slow down, now... but it is imperative that we get the three of you to Wutai, where you'll be safe. Your parents still think that you're captive."
"How far away is it?" Miriam asked.
"Still a long ways. Weeks. This is the Southern-most tip of the Island."
"Darn it, Fionn! We were going the wrong way the whole time!" Miriam scolded.
Nanaki let out a relieved chuckle, and then herded the children along. They had to get to Wutai, before Harmony and the others walked into a situation that they knew nothing about.
!#$%^&*()
Another still morning. The same routine over again. Sassi could feel cabin fever setting in. All her friends were off having grand adventures, while she fretted aboard the ship and stocked every nook and cranny with supplies and battled her never ending headaches. The training deck helped relieve some of that tension though. With breakfast completed and Loz checking in on his prized Chocobo and its jockey, she was left to find entertainment for herself. Before entering the large hologram room, she popped in the weapons closet. And array of spare pieces lie dormant, waiting for someone to pick them up. These things didn't get much use, nearly everyone had their own personalized weapon by now. Hells bells, even Hari had a kick-ass sword. Sassi usually preferred to use her magic bow or crossbow. Distance and magic were her elements.
The last few weeks she had acquired an affinity to a short sword, a Kodachi. All she had was time aboard this ship, might as well be learning something new. She grabbed two well used blades, dull but heavy, and choose one of Yazoo's preprogrammed sessions. It was used to hone the master swordsmen, but she felt ready to take it on today.
She stepped into a familiar stance, her body learned quickly. She may not be as fast as Hari, but her dual blades danced through the air at generated opponents, like they were dancing together. This one thrust while the other countered. She let her mind slip away, letting her body move on instinct. Spin here, counter, duck, sidestep, sweep. It took a few minutes of mindless maneuvering before the hilt and her hands became indistinguishable. Her arms felt like they grew, extending out.
The fighters were progressing in skill, leveling up to subdue her. An idea percolated in her mind as she was quickly being swarmed. This many opponents would be a cake-walk for Yazoo, but she didn't have his reflexes. Yet, she reminded herself, yet. Sassi poised, panting after beating back a wave of fighters. If she could imbue some magic into the edges of the blades . . .there, that was the opening she had been waiting for. Sassi pulled all the light into herself, the room darkening slightly to meet her need. With a burst of heat and movement her kodachi's transformed into pure light swinging in graceful arcs that left ribbons of energy in their wake. The simulated men boiled when the blades came within two feet, skin bursting to flame as if they were held above a vat of magma. Sassi pushed all the energy outward. A deep pulse reverberated through the training room as every hologram was instantly obliterated.
Sassi took in the carnage, feeling a sense of pride. A job well done, enemy vanquished. She gazed down at one particular simulated corpse, and with a jolt realized all her action had been to kill rather than maim as she usually did. A sense of elation filled her as she came to grips with the charred corpse. She did this. Not a guardian to plunder her victory, and certainly no collaboration of multiple magics. Just her, and her growing ability with the kodachi. She sauntered to the control panel, taking in one final look at the room before terminating the program. Her feeling of pride was a tad concerning. She hadn't intended to kill her opponents, merely take them down with minor wounds. Killing was never something she wanted to do. Until just now. It seemed the only way to complete the mission. She was a bit nervous to admit just how good it felt to see the destruction she was capable of. Sassi shivered, whether from thrill or revulsion she could not tell. Perhaps both.
She wiped a forearm across a sweating brow, and realized she was still holding her weapons. They felt so natural in her palms now, and amazingly unscathed from their bath of magic. Sassi mentally shook herself. She needed a shower, and maybe a change of style to distract from the repeating images of the training session.
She quickly returned the weapons to storage and began a steaming shower in the confines of her cabin. As she lathered her head she murmured an awakening spell. One she usually used on late blooming plants to coax them to grow. Only this one was aimed at the roots of her hair. No use using the spell on the ends, those were merely dead cells. The roots took to the spell like, well, magic. Her scalp tingled and itched as her hair pushed its way out of each pore. She rubbed her hands through the growing locks. Urging it to grow more, only stopping when she felt the ends of her hair brushing her buttocks.
&^$%^#$^%^8
"Sassi? Have you finished preening yet? The ship's docking and we want to hit the market early . . ."
Loz trailed off as Sassi slipped from the cabins bathroom. In all the years he had known her, she kept her locks short, preferring a daring side-swept pixie cut. Yet sometime between breakfast and now, which was merely two hours; her Irish red hair grew past her shoulders and bounced in lazy waves on her back. She smirked up at the hulking shape in the doorframe, intentionally thickening her accent as she pulled the heavy mass over one shoulder.
"Is binn béal ina thost"[silence is golden]
Hearing the foreign tongue kick started his brain. Loz blinked rapidly as if trying to catch up for his frozen moments. He grinned at the petite woman. It took only two steps to reach Sassi and then his hands were filled with her hair. Making it cascade like waterfalls between his hands. He knew how soft her hair was, and enjoyed toying with little strands of it, but this was glorious! It felt alive, and smelled perfect.
"I do believe you are experiencing a hair-gasm, Loz." Sassi giggled through a curtain of red. "I thought you wanted to hurry up?"
"That was before you came out with this ruddy gold! I have half a mind to see how well that color clashes with the sheets. How long is it?"
Sassi gently disentangled his fingers from her hair and attempting to smooth it back into some decency.
"I coaxed about 14 inches out before my scalp began to itch. Do you like it?"
Loz looked down his straight nose at her obvious hook for compliments. "It is luxurious," he beamed, proud of himself to have thought of the word on the spot.
*(*&&%$#!#$%^&
They had stopped in a small village just outside of Rocket Town, Sukai having sent a message to her parents telling them to meet them there, rather than in Nibelheim. They had to stop for supplies, anyway.
"Hey Chief," Sassi called from her stall, "Think you could help me in here, I keep getting the clasps messed up."
Loz rose from the hipster leather footrest, tossing a half read magazine to the side table. He was thoroughly enjoying the squeaks and grunts from the other side of the dressing room door, some of it from the leather outfit Sassi insisted on testing out. The ensemble had multiple parts, put on like layers and made to fit into each other so no skin was left unprotected. It was a bit odd that Sassi wanted an armored suit, but the images her suggestion provided was enough to have him racing to the nearest shop. He could understand why she felt the need for protection. After their rather expensive stop at a weapons dealer he knew she was serious about her training with the kodachis, though she made him promise not to tell anyone else about her newest interest. Going into a fight with her new blade, she would need more than magical barriers as protection. He rapped lightly on the door and she let him in.
"I look like a gothic Football player. This is heavier than I thought it would be too," Sassi whined.
Her hair was piled atop her head. Where she had secured a chopstick he had no idea, but it was lodged firmly in her bun. As for the outfit, she had made good progress but now was attempting to fix the forearm guard to her shin. Loz smirked at the sight. At this angle he could see the dark valley of her breasts as the formfitting jumpsuit had a low-cut square-ish neckline. Sassi looked up at him, narrowing her eyes when she noticed where he was looking. She shimmied her shoulders and giggled when his eyes followed like a metronome. Then she slapped the guard at his face. He caught is deftly.
"What happened to the shoulder piece?" He asked. The box which had contained the outfit was open on the bench, an array of hardened leather pads spilling out of it like a bomb had exploded from within. Locating the remains he quickly buckled them all together and held them to her. The guards fit around her back and down the entire length of her arms strapping crosswise across the chest. Heavy enough to deflect a blow if need be. Loz was granted another wonderful view of cleavage as he reached from behind to tighten the straps in front.
"Was that it? How was I supposed to know the guards fit like an armored jacket?" Sassi exclaimed.
"Perhaps if one would look at the picture on the box…?" Loz hazarded.
Sassi shot him a scathing glance and then sighed as she turned to look in the mirror on the wall. The color was very dark green, almost black, but complemented her coloring. She admired the strong image peering back at her. The hair was still a shocker, even to herself. She had sheared her locks off after her the incident with her father, becoming a different woman. Now, she felt a thrill to see the ghost of her mother in her own features. Mother had always kept her hair long and flowing. Sassi flexed, testing the movement of shoulders. Her eyes locked with Loz's through the mirror. He was standing close, mouth in a perpetual grin, arms folded as he looked at her. She bumped her bum backward, jostling Loz. He caught her hips and slid his hands around her leather clad stomach.
"I'm not convinced you called me in here for help." He murmured.
Sassi turned in his arms and locked her arms around his neck, nearly on her tiptoes. Her fingers toyed with his ear as she answered with a grin.
"Remember the last time we were in a small space like this?" she whispered.
He did, he had learned so much aboard that plane. He chuckled deeply, recalling the frantic muted coupling.
"Sassi, I believe you're becoming an exhibitionist"
"Am not! The door is closed after all." She glanced at the lock just to make sure.
Loz squeezed her round bum through the jumpsuit. Almost wishing she had chosen one of the more, impractical, but scanty outfits. Getting this thing off was going to be a difficult. Challenge accepted, he thought. Without any further ado his lips attached to her neck. Gently nipping just under her ear and the first strap around her bosom was free. One hand focused on releasing the remaining strap as the other searched for the seam in the back. Sassi pulled his lips to hers, breath coming quick as the chance of discovery grew. Would the clerk check in on them? She felt her lover's warm hand on the bare flesh of her back. Loz had managed to free her torso in record time and was steadily peeling the leather down. Sassi was glad she had not worn the padded inner layer provided with the suit. She stepped nimbly from the suit, Loz broke the kiss to retrieve the pile and plop it into the box. He didn't straighten right away, instead planted kisses along her thigh, stroking the downy hairs which puckered into gooseflesh at his touch. He felt something cover his head and reached to pull it off. A purple bra. He tossed it aside and lavished her nipples. Sassi was trying hard to stifle her gasps, but damn that man knew how draw them out of her. Air hissed between her teeth as his own pearly whites tugged her nipple and let it go. She was suddenly pinned to the back wall, against the mirror. Before she could inhale, Loz was thrusting inside her. He had pulled his pants down just enough to allow movement. Sassi bit his shoulder and closed her eyes. Her ass slapped the mirror and she was sure it must have echoed through the building. Loz was gripping her right breast, kneading the flesh and his other hand snaked its way underneath her. A slick finger probed into her ass. Sassi began to moan, but he captured the sound with his own mouth. He wiggled his digit slightly and felt her tightening response. She was close.
Loz came out and let Sassi's legs come down. Sassi looked pleadingly at him; surely it wasn't going to end there? Loz raised a finger and twirled it, indicating she was to turn around. She placed her hands to either side of the mirror and arched her back, swaying her ass side to side. Loz reached forward and yanked the chopstick from her hair. The heavy mass spiraled down, blanketing her back. He teased her with his cock, sliding the head in, and then pulling out. Sassi set her cheek against the cool, reflective surface and managed to pout. Loz winked, grabbed a hip with one hand and slid in to her ass, having been well lubed, he slid in smoothly. His eyes nearly rolled back as he pushed against her straining muscles. He began rocking slowly. Sassi reached behind and gripped his forearm, nails digging into flesh. The pace quickened, and Loz had to restrain himself from spanking her. She loved it, but the sound would surely draw attention. Red hair bounced and tickled on her back, the silky strands seemed to dance. Loz grabbed a fistful of hair at the nape of her neck and tugged slightly. Sassi's eyes opened wide as the forced arch made her oncoming orgasm intensify. She slid her hand into her wet mound and rubbed furiously. An explosion cascaded through her and her body shook slightly. Loz's rhythm faltered, and with a few more short thrusts he too came undone.
Loz's excellent hearing detected eminent discovery. He quickly assembled his clothing, gathered the leather outfit, and kissed Sassi.
"I think this one'll do perfectly." He winked as he slipped out the door. She could hear him hail the clerk and the haggling, which was never his strong suite, begin. Sassi slowly came back to reality. She took a few minutes to don her leggings and flowing sleeveless tunic. She glanced around, making sure nothing was left behind as her eyes widened when she saw the mirror. She could clearly see where her ass and cheek had been, along with a few handprints. Sassi blushed beet red and shot out the door.
!#$%^&*()
Sassi let go and laughed. Like she hadn't in a long time. She saw Loz's lips twitch into a smile at the sound, and began singing along with her cousin.
The teasing had started after she told Harmony of her mishap with the armor – though she had still kept her main reasons for wanting it to herself.
And so Harmony had started teasing her, using a song from one of their favorite musicals from their world. Sassi was amazed that she still remembered the words.
"Anything you can do, I can do better! I can do anything better than you!" Harmony sang, pointing a teasing finger in Sassi's face.
"No you can't!" Sassi sang back.
"Yes I can!"
"No you can't!"
"Yes I can!"
"No you can't!"
"Yes I can, yes I can!"
Zack cut in with a roll of his eyes. "Doesn't matter. You're still not better than me!"
"Oh, yeah?" Harmony and Sassi chimed at the same time.
"Damn straight! Neither of you can fight as well as I can! None of you women can!" Zack threw back.
Sassi's eyes narrowed. "Challenge accepted." She said, her voice quiet and serious.
Zack huffed. "Bring it, bitch!"
Harmony gasped. "Oh no he di'ent!"
Loz chuckled, adding his own piece. "Sounds like he did."
Harmony and Sassi scowled, both immediately turning to go to the airship. Sukai would definitely want to hear about this.
!#$%^&*()
Sukai entered the hallway of the Sheraand knew something was off. Quietly she found her way to the Mess Hall and heard her father's voice. She couldn't hold it in any longer. Bursting through the door she pounced on the mass that was her father. The man was mature looking, around the same age as Cid, but he had bright green eyes and dirty blonde hair tied in a low pony tail, his hair trailing between his shoulder blades. He had the same build as Angeal, and wore a pair of worn jeans, a long sleeved blue plaid shirt, pushed up his forearms, showing off his tan, with oil stains and a wielding smock with gloves on his hands and goggles pushed up. He was busy talking with Harmony, Cid, Sassi, Sytherea, and Cid's son Gunner when Sukai collided with him.
"Sukai Angelica Hiroshima-Williams!" Boomed the voice of her dad as he pried her off him. "Why didn't ya call sooner! Did ya'know how worried we were?"
"Angelica?" Harmony asked.
"Poppa Bear, I am kinda busy these days. Angelica is my middle name. Poppa insisted the damn thing." Sukai answered. "Is mom- She is in ninja mode isn't she?"
A blur of black pounced from the ceiling and Sukai dodged, bouncing on her feet back and pushing her father out of the way. "Muqin, buyao rang wo shanghaile ni!"
"First Rule: Never let your guard down!" The petite woman said. She looked just like Sukai except shorter, older, and had midnight black hair. Her outfit was a solid black body suit with armor on her shins, knees, and thighs. On top she wore a cream, red, and black kimono that stopped mid thigh. When the woman missed her daughter she wasted no time and pounced back up and drew throwing stars from her billowy sleeves, before she aimed and tossed them.
"Not on my ship!" Screamed both Micheal and Cid, before they looked at one another and laughed.
"Is anyone going to stop them?" Asked Harmony.
"That's suicide." Micheal sighed. "Let 'em work it out. My Baby Angel isn't a pushover."
Sukai flattened herself to the ground and pulled her gun from its holster before loading a clip, flipping backward to avoid a stab by a wakazashi, and firing the whole clip at her mother. The woman cut the bullets in half, but fainted after a light white powder hit her. Sukai yelled at everyone.
"Back off. That will put a Behemoth to sleep!" Sukai cast a quick Gravity spell to concentrate the powder before finishing it off with a light fire spell and a MBarrier to prevent damage. "Good to see mom still cares."
"She was trying to kill you!" Shrieked Harmony.
"No, she doesn't try to kill. Mom does kill who she wants dead, she was testing my reflexes. So Harmony these are my parents Micheal Williams, and Ten Hiroshima. Poppa loved mom's last name so he let her keep it when they married. Anyway, call dad Poppa Bear, unless you are a guy, then it is just Bear. Call mom Ten." Sukai smiled. "Well when I give her the antidote she is going to be livid...so would someone get Genesis?"
"Woah, he is here?" Micheal asked, his jaw dropping.
"Yeah, and 'Geal, Puppy, and Seph are here too." Sukai said nonchalantly, trying to hide the wide smirk on her face.
Sukai's father pulled her into a bone crushing hug. "That is my baby girl! Only workin' with the best! Now when can I see 'em?"
"They are busy, well Seph and 'Geal are. Pup should be around here somewhere." Sukai said before she bounced and tackled Zack who just walked in. "Puppy, meet Poppa Bear! Poppa Bear, meet Puppy. Acquaint and love. Hey Zack, is Gen around?"
"He should be here soon." Zack said half questioningly as Sukai nearly tossed him at her father.
"Good. I need ammo. Mommy isn't going to be happy." Sukai said taking a small vial out of her pocket and opening it.
Genesis stepped in the door when Sukai gave Ten the antidote. Ten woke up throwing a punch and Sukai took her wrist and tossed her at the unsuspecting victim. "Catch Gen!"
"What?" Said Genesis as a body landed in his arms, beginning to scream in Wutain but suddenly stopped.
"Yige jingxi," Ten blushed. Sukai burst out laughing. Ten shot her daughter a look."Wu, rengran keyi sha si ni."
"I know where she gets it from!" Harmony burst out laughing.
"Oh shut up!" Sukai snapped. "Um, Muqin, Poppa. I got some news. You are going to be grandparents!"
"Wo, yao yange ya pigu shui ey bu gan hualyun wo qin ai de. Sukai, zhe bing bushi shuo bachi hong toufa, Reno?" Ten said livid.
"No, much . My relationship with-" Sukai started before Yazoo, Sephiroth, Angeal and Vincent stepped in the room. Sukai's concentration was broken long enough to cause her to randomly blurt out."Guys?"
"Guys, as in multiple?" Sukai's father gasped grabbing his heart.
"Oh gods no, no. Poppa Bear, settle down. I got distracted and...there is only one I am seeing."
"Spit it out. So my grandchild is going to be a intelligent, well rounded, poetic soul with alburn hair." Ten said happily.
Sukai paled and her voice went many octaves higher. "Muqin, shi ni shitu hudoe ren siwang! Meiyou ta shi bushi ta de. It's-"
"A child from a strong and honorable background!" Sukai's father pipped in, interrupting Sukai.
"Oh for the love of the GODS!" Sukai shrieked, flustered at both her parents. "Shut up both of you. My child is Sephiroth's! Not Angeal's OR Genesis'.If you would let me explain things."
Sukai felt her knees buckle as her strength left her. Ten and Micheal caught her while throwing daggers at Sephiroth. Sephiroth was not an easily frightened man but the way that Sukai's mother looked at him made him pause for a moment before he walked over and grabbed Sukai.
"If you two overprotective, overbearing, narrow-minded, bipolar, people don't let go of me right now. I am running off to wherever and forbidding you from seeing your grandchild! Stop it both of you!" Sukai yelled jerking away from her parents and into Sephiroth's arms. "Now if you don't flippin' mind. I'll be in my flippin' room, gettin' some sleep. Two minutes, two flippin' minutes and I am sick of it. And you wonder why I never bring anyone over. Yesh!"
Sephiroth snorted at Sukai's rant before he turned to her parents. " I apologize if she is in a poor mood. We are all overworked and tired-"
Sukai suddenly felt herself sandwiched between two people. She growled and felt her body relax.
"I don't forgive you. You can't make me." Sukai huffed looking at her parents through her periphrial vision.
"We love you~" Both parents sang. Instantly knowing how to calm their daughter down.
"I sti- Gah! Mind ninja!" Sukai huffed, "Okay this one time. I forgive you."
"That is quite endearing." Said Sephiroth before both parents turned to him.
"She is our Baby, do not hurt her. Illness aside, there isn't any way you would have known." Sukai's father said. "However, you make her cry. We will find new ways to make you pay."
Sukai's mother smiled very sweetly. "She is our precious gem. I am sure you understand how special she is. We trust you to care for her and we accept you as family now. We know that you will do anything for her, understand?"
"Poppa." Sukai huffed. "I can take care of myself. Mom, thanks a bunch."
"Oh I forgot!" Ten blushed before taking a few files out of her clothing."Here. In Rocket Town we found unusual habit patterns in the workers of the new technology plant. It was a cover of course. I and your father grabbed the info we could, took it out, took off, and faked our deaths. Now we will follow this trail and send anything we find back to you."
"Bless you." Harmony chimed in.
Ten looked at both Harmony and Sassi. "I know what it is like being in your position. Micheal literally had to chase me down and tie me down to keep me from killing myself over looking for Sukai. I hadn't eaten in days, no sleep, and I hadto find her. If Micheal had of listened to me when I ordered him to stay in Rocket Town, I would not be here. Just remember your friends are helping. You are surrounded by those who care and will help you at any cost. You have my empathy and I lend you my Courage when you need it."
"Thanks?" Said Harmony and Sassi together as Ten gave them each a small, thin cylinder that was made out of some metal.
"Ah, liquid Courage." Sukai laughed. "Oh no it isn't what you think. That liquid can eat just about through anything, is flammable, highly conductive, can freeze, and is very explosivewhen Mako is mixed in. One of her favorite weapons. Oh and mix it with water, shake, and toss, it releases a toxic gas."
"Christ is there anything it can't do?" Sassi said holding it away from her.
"Kill people. The liquid itself isn't toxic, if you ingest or get it on your skin. Though not recommended. It gives you the Living Death. I know the antidote if you get some one you, but anyway. It puts you in a intense stasis and cuts off your higher functions temporarily. Mom tested it on me, woke up three days later naked in the Giza Plains. Fun times." Sukai sighed, smiling. "Mom has a habit of keeping her targets alive for days as she learns their life story...between screams."
