Chapter 5.

“ Are you hungry? It’s time to eat!”

He stirred from his sleep and slowly woke, eyes dully glancing around the room till they landed on Doctor Kadowaki.

He thought for a moment as to whether or not he wanted to eat. Deciding that yes, he did, the raven-haired child held out his arms for the tray.

Smiling she set the tray in front of him and leaned over to place a hand on the boy’s forehead.

“ Good, your temperature has gone down. There you go honey make sure eat it all up!”

She was just about to leave the room when Vincent made a rather odd comment.

“ You smile a lot.”

“ Hmm?” She turned to face him.

“ Just like my mom.”

“ Really? Am I a lot like your mom?”

“ My mom’s more prettier than you are.” He said flatly, eyes resting on the door behind her.

Paranoid, she turned around to see what he was looking at and saw a young intern stood there.

“ D … doc … Doctor Odine wishes to … speak w … with you, if you’re n … not too b … busy he said.” She gasped out.

“ Of course. Goodbye Vincent. Oh, you’ve finished? Good boy!”

She smiled at him and took his tray, as she was walking out the room she gave the tray to the trembling young woman, who took the tray, watched the Doctor leave, glanced at Vincent then hurried after her.

“ So Vincent, you have a job, I hear! Do tell, what is this job?”

“ Yes, sir. I’m a low rank in a Shin-Ra research department.”

“ Aye? Our Bea ought to get a job, earn some cash of her own!”

There was 5 people around the dinner table, Vincent and Beatrix, who were still in their school uniforms, Tuyen – Beatrix’s 7 year old brother, who was out of his uniform, her mom, to whom Beatrix was talking and her dad, who was happily firing questions at Vincent, who had gone shy in the face of attention.

“ You enjoying school, then?” he grunted, her dad was a tall with broad shoulders and he could come off as intimidating.

“ Yes, sir.” Vincent's favourite pass time was definitely not speaking with him.

“ That plate so interesting that you can’t look at me when I’m speaking to you? Eh?”

Vincent looked up at her dad. He was glaring at him, but that only lasted for a moment, the man began laughing at the nervous teenager.

“ You’re a good kid, Vincent! Don’t let anyone, not even Shin-Ra change that, or I’ll have to deal with the matter personally!” he held a straight face for about 5 seconds before he burst into laughter again.

“ Dad? I think you’re upsetting Vincent. Mom, may Vincent and I be excused? We have finished.”

“ Oh? Yes, of course. Put your plates in the sink and remember to bring your cups down when you have finished with them, okay?”

“ Sure!”

Her mother watched the do as she asked before they ran off and she heard them going up the stairs and into Beatrix’s room, then she turned her attention back to Tuyen and her husband.

“ Oh, Vincent, I’m so sorry about my dad! He just gets carried away sometimes!”

They were sat on Beatrix’s bed talking quietly with the TV turned on so that no one could hear their conversation. Beatrix was convinced that her little brother listened to them talking, but Vincent, being easily won over by the child’s sweetness, didn’t think he did.

“ My dad will learn some manners someday,” she sighed. “ Then I won’t have to keep apologising for the things he says!”

“ You don’t have to anyway! That’s just the way your dad is, I’m used to it.”

“ Alright … for now! So, Vincent … on with the homework. May I suggest you do your English essay first?”

“ Why? So you can copy?”

“ Yep!”

They laughed as they picked up their books and pens.

He couldn’t really understand Shin-Ra anymore, they were so confusing, and it was obvious the whole organisation was in chaos. He did fell sorry for Reeve who had a lot to put up with, considering after the spoilt brat, otherwise known as Rufus, died the whole of it was just dumped on him and he was expected to fix all the problems.

He knew that the man was saddened by the death of Tseng, who had been a great friend to him, which was hard enough to put up with, but at least Rude was there, he was now in charge of the turks and he had taken on extra work to help Reeve out.

He had met Rude when he was in the turks, he had interviewed the 16 year old – as he had been promoted to leader when he was 22 - and it was he who had decided Rude would be a valuable addition to their ranks. It was one of the few times the turks had gained 2 people in half a year. He had interviewed Tseng a few months before Rude and had allowed him to join as well.

He grabbed a newspaper and some bread then went to the checkout and handed some gil over to the assistant.

“ Thank you, sir! Have a nice day.” She chirped.

“ You too.” He mumbled as he turned and walked off.

He wasn’t sure how long Shin-Ra would last, but it was messed up, he just hoped that as a result the world wouldn’t become messed up, or at least that they would get over it but now, Shin-Ra was in pieces, and main town and cities were in similar states (except Wutai as they didn’t depended on Shin-Ra to start with).
