Author Notes: This chapter was difficult for me, especially the second half. I hope that it flows for the reader. Just a side note and I'm not one for giving things away, but there is a reason why Cloud acts one way and Zack acts another, so bear with me.
No warnings this chapter except for mild language and Rufus. We all know about Rufus. Please enjoy this chapter and rate/review if you'd like!
Chapter Seven
I wanna taste your skin; I wanna be let in. I wanna hold you and feel you like you�ve never been. I wanna touch you there; I wanna kiss you here. And maybe by the sunrise �I will� come�to �my� senses. - Josh Abbott Band �Taste�

Cloud entered the interrogation room, nodding to Tseng as the Turk reminded him to speak clearly for the microphones. He glanced at the mirror as he shut the door and then moved on to the girl at the table. He hadn�t been told much, just given a run-down of her file and just at the basics at that.

One of the first things he noticed was the heaviness to the air. It was a charged presence that Cloud was sure would burst into flames with the slightest spark. The second thing was that her skin had a faint shimmer of green to it. It had to be the excess Mako Tseng had told him about. He got the urge to touch even just her arm, but he cleared his throat and met the woman�s glowing brown eyes.

She lowered her gaze back to her hands that were folded on the table and it was as if someone stole the light from the room. He shook his head, frowning as he tried to clear it from the ridiculous thought. He sat slowly at the side of the table, taking the chair on her left. She didn�t look back up. That fact strangely made him sad.

�My name is Cloud Strife,� the blond said as evenly as he could. �I�m a First Class SOLDIER here at Shinra. Can you tell me your name?�
�Project N,� she responded quickly, voice smooth like honey to the First�s ears. He shifted uneasily in his chair.

�And your real name?� He encouraged, leaning forward slightly. She frowned, brow furrowing with the action, and Cloud had to restrain himself from reaching out to ease the wrinkles. His fingers tensed on the table.

What the hell is wrong with me?! He sent another glance to the mirror. It had to be the Mako, but he�d never felt anything like it before and he slept with two enhanced SOLDIERs. It was affecting him something awful now. It was confusing and intoxicating and if he didn�t know any better, he�d swear he�d lose his sanity to it,

�Ne�Sa?� But the name came as more of question than a statement. �I think� that�s what the Turk calls me��

�Which Turk?� Cloud asked, trying to catch her gaze again, but when she looked up, she looked at the mirror instead.

�Rude,� Ne�Sa murmured, seeing his blurry image through the window. The double-vision was giving her a headache, seeing her reflection at the same time as the images of the gathering beyond. Her skin was beginning to tingle, too. She rubbed at one of her arms, trying to diffuse the feeling. She didn�t see Cloud�s fingers clench.

The First was unprepared for the unfettered wave of jealousy that slammed into him at the mention of another man�s name on Ne�Sa�s tongue. His entire body was shaking with the effort to... To what? What was going on with him? Why was it affecting him like this? He stopped short, fingers clutching the table as he began to pant lightly.

Gaia, get a hold of yourself, Spikey! This is getting out of hand! But Cloud couldn�t stop the irrational emotions, serving to only make him feel edgier. The unsettling feeling in his stomach was blowing all warning signs at their loudest and if nothing else, Sephiroth had always taught him to respect his instincts. He forcibly relaxed his hands. He didn�t even know why he was here. He wasn�t normally an interrogator, but then again, Rufus had requested him and the man was a dick.

�We are aware of Rude�s part in Hojo�s plans,� Cloud spat, so unlike him, with a tight throat. Ne�Sa finally glanced at him again and he was able to breathe easier. That was it! He just had to keep her attention and the feeling would abate, right? Right? �Do you know why you are here now?�

�They,� she gestured with a finger towards the mirror. Cloud was torn between watching her hand or following the motions of her lips. �most likely want to pick up where Hojo left off� Well, maybe not all of them� I�m not sure what the argument was about.�

�You could tell they were arguing?� Cloud caught that stray comment and seized it almost like a lifeline. �How?�

�I can kind of see them� Through the mirror, but I can�t make anything out except that they seemed angry. And the one right there is the cause of it.� She pointed straight to Rufus and, though Cloud couldn�t see the other blond, he was sure he knew and it made him smile widely at her.

Even with the unnatural glow of Mako in his eyes, they�d darkened to near-midnight blue with the surging of whatever emotion this was. Was he sure that�s what it was? An emotion? Was he sure it wasn�t the Mako? He couldn�t rightly tell as overpowering as his current situation was. He swayed a little in his seat as the insane urge to pull her into his arms came over him. He had to stop this! He wasn�t even straight and he was extremely happy with Sephiroth and Zack.

But he hadn�t been around them much lately. They�d been extremely busy and last night�s pleasurable encounter had been one of the few and far between. He got the sudden feeling that maybe they were happier without having to worry about things like that. He tried to shrug the morose thought off, but it stuck, growing, mutating as he thought about them continuously enjoying themselves while he was forced to remain in the Firsts� wing of the SOLDIER barracks. He let out a stuttered growl.

�Are you alright?� Ne�Sa�s voice washed over him, calming him, and Cloud let out a long, steadying breath. She eyed him warily. Her skin felt like it was on fire now and every time he shifted, moved, it vibrated in the room. She pushed her seat back a little, further from the table, trying to find space and he watched each movement like a buzzard circling his prey. She swallowed and forced herself not to look away. She felt extremely unsafe around this so-called SOLDIER and suddenly she knew she wanted out of this room, away from him and away from everything he stood for.

�Can you tell me in your own words what Hojo did?� Cloud wasn�t even sure how he managed to get the words out between his teeth, jaw clenched so tight he was sure he�d break the bones. He barely noticed her shaking her head, never taking his eyes off of him. She was speaking now, but he couldn�t hear the words. The thickness of the air was like a pulse in his brain, beating out every rational thought and he pushed to his feet with his enhanced speed. Both chairs went skidding away from the table as Ne�Sa�s instincts took her to her feet, too, and she backed up.
�W-what are you doing?� She stammered, moving further away from Cloud and bumping against the wall. Cloud was sure he was answering her, but he couldn�t hear it over the raging drive to touch her, feel her, taste her hold over him.

He had strength, that was clear, but did he have enough to slake this twisted thirst? Would he be able to overcome himself and the woman to sate the need that was desperately clawing at him from all sides? He knew others were there, could feel them watching and he growled low in his throat. She was his! They couldn�t have this power, none of it!

�Your taste�� His throat worked tightly against the madness within. All at the same time, her scent, her presence and the Mako sheen was still attacking him and leaving him stranded in a swirling haze of inopportune rage. His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists and his body did an out-of-place rocking motion when one side of him wanted him to move and the other -still sane- side of him rooted him in place.

He lost it as the corner of his mouth quirked up and his sanity broke with the movement as he advanced on her, effectively pinning her between his hands on the wall. He watched her eyes flutter and he moaned at the sight as he dipped his head to brush his nose along her jaw line. She tried to move, to push past him, but he planted a hand against her chest and pressed, slamming her back against the wall.

�Your taste� I have to� Please let me taste��

His touch burned even as he spoke almost-soothingly to her. Ne�Sa tried to struggle against it, but she was afraid now, and in her fear she was helpless. He was begging her for something, but for what? Taste what? Her? Her chest heaved as she choked on her confusion and he moaned again, tilting her head back to drag his tongue along her throat.

�S-top� Stop it! Please!� Ne�Sa pleaded, hands fisting against his chest. �Stop!�

He had been right. He could taste every drop of power in her, her essence. He could taste purely her. It was driving him mad, like an addict on the precipice of withdrawals. He couldn�t get enough of it.

Cloud�s frustration grew tantamount and he cursed beautifully beneath his breath as he eyed the exquisite power before him. She wanted him to stop? Why? Couldn�t she feel the pulsing, clawing beast like him? He couldn�t stop! He needed this! His fist landed in the wall beside her head and she shuddered out a breath, tears pooling in her wide brown gaze.
~~~

�He�s losing it! Can�t you see that?!� Zack�s hands slammed against the window as Ne�Sa and Cloud pushed out of their chairs at almost exactly the same time. One hand fisted against the glass while his other clutched uselessly beside its pair. His tone was hoarse with pain for his lover and fear for the girl he didn�t know. �Please, sir� Please get him out of there!�

�Lieutenant, please calm yourself,� Rufus murmured as he continued to observe the pair. �I believe I understand Hojo�s notes now. It seems that whatever�s affecting Strife is not affecting Project N in the same way. Hojo was always a little sadistic, wasn�t he?� He smirked. �Couldn�t let the girl enjoy herself, too, huh��

�You absolute bastard,� Rude gritted out, leather gloves protesting the harsh clenching of his fists, but the Turk was ignored as the President turned to Tseng.

�I believe I have seen enough for today, Tseng. You may take her to a detainment room now,� the blond instructed casually as he tucked his notebook into his briefcase. �Oh, and I do hope you keep an eye on Strife, Lieutenant. I would like to know how this has affected him once he is no longer around her. General, please join me in my office to discuss meeting with Professor Rui. Tseng, join us when you can.�

Sephiroth, who hadn�t been able to bring himself to watch any longer, turned back to face the others and hesitated as Zack didn�t even turn to acknowledge Rufus� request.

�Za-� the General was cut off as Zack didn�t let him get any further.

�Lieutenant and don�t! Just� don�t,� Zack bit out. The President arched a brow as he waited. Self-disgust swept through the General and he glanced over Zack�s head to Cloud, who now had the girl pressed against the wall. He turned his head away, hating the ingrained dedication to duty and the bastard of a President that saw fit to toy with people�s lives, but he gave a curt, painful nod and followed a smug Rufus out of the observation room. Zack�s fingers clenched against the window as the door shut after them and he pressed his forehead beside his hands.

Seconds later and the sound of the wall being punched had Zack tearing out of the room with the Turks on his tail. He ripped the door to Interrogation Three open and stopped short as Cloud rounded on them with an inhuman growl. The girl was kept behind him, trembling, almost protectively and Zack moved forward, hands up to show he meant no harm.

�Calm down, Spikey,� his voice wavered and Cloud crouched lower. Ne�Sa was sucking in breaths as if their arrival was her saving grace.. �Everything�s okay. We just want to help.�

�Rude?! Ne�Sa�s voice rushed past them all to the Turk just beyond Reno in the doorway and he moved to help her. Tseng threw his hand up to stop Rude from coming in.

�You are not allowed near her! Stay back!� Tseng commanded as he edged into the room behind Zack. �Zack, you shouldn�t get any closer either. We don�t know if she�ll affect you or not.�

�Cloud, please! You don�t what you�re doing,� Zack begged, inching forward again. �You have to let her go now. C�mon, Spikey. Do it for me!�

Cloud snarled, reaching a hand back to drag Ne�Sa closer, as the men gathered in front of them. How dare these bastards try to take what was his! He found her! Her power was for him alone! Couldn�t they see the claim he already had on her?! She hadn�t tried to run again, so that had to mean she understood now, right? Right?!

Ne�Sa stumbled against Cloud�s back and gasped as she burned at his touch. His fingers felt like they were branding against her skin and she pulled back against his hold. Gaia, what was happening? Why wasn�t anyone stopping this and why wouldn�t the stiff Turk let Rude help? She struggled again, managing to lean back enough to see past the blond�s shoulder and her terrified gaze met the dark-haired SOLDIER�s. She jerked like she�d been slapped as pain lanced behind her eyes.

Zack saw glowing brown eyes and suddenly, he forgot why he was there. A warm, pleasant feeling stole down his spine and his body relaxed instantly. The girl reminded him of sunshine and flowers, her frantic breathing a soft blowing wind. He wanted to find the nearest meadow and worship the earth around her. Even the strangely louder growling noises from the shorter man in front of him couldn�t penetrate his desire to sweep the brown-eyed angel off her feet. He went to move quickly to her side.

Tseng let out a frustrated groan as the two SOLDIERs ended a few feet apart and began acting like two dogs fighting over a fucking bone. He was almost glad they didn�t have their ridiculously large swords to swing about as the Lieutenant lunged towards the First. Ne�Sa gasped as Cloud pushed her away and Tseng launched into action, latching onto the burly SOLDIER and tried to steer him backward, desperately thinking of a plan.

�Damn Hojo to hell for this!� Tseng snapped, struggling as Zack fought his hold to get closer to Cloud and the girl. Zack�s head snapped back, slamming into his face and Tseng cursed with the flare of pain, grunting with the re-doubled effort to hold the SOLDIER back. �Rude, get Cloud! Reno, get the girl out of here now! We have to get them away from her!�

Reno slipped around to the left as Cloud was distracted by the men struggling against each other. He was quick and wouldn�t need to worry about his partner at the moment, knowing that they worked together in a dance. He�d help the bald Turk and then grab the girl and take her to the detainment room. Well, maybe not. After everything that had happened and was happening now, maybe it would be best to just get her the hell out of Shinra. Maybe he could just� cause a little accident and then nobody would have to worry about this happening again. He glanced at Rude as the bigger Turk moved along the edge of the room around Tseng and Zack, eyes really only for Ne�Sa.

No, he couldn�t do that to Rude. Whatever this was, he could never hurt his partner that way and he wouldn�t be able to bear her blood on his hands. He stepped between Ne�Sa and Cloud and received a nod from Rude.

Cloud hoped those two beasts took each other out, so he didn�t have to worry about sharing the powerful being behind him. He could sense her fear now and he was furious at the reactions the others had drawn from her. He was not worthy of her if he couldn�t protect her. He realized too late that he�d been boxed in by the other two penguins. Where was the girl?! He shifted back once and that was his last thought as a lit taser jabbed into the meat of his shoulder. His eyes rolled back in his head and he dropped like a sack of materia.

Rude caught him before he could hit the floor and dragged him over his shoulder as Reno hooked his EMR back to his hip. The quiet Turk looked to Ne�Sa needing to assure himself she was fine. He took a step towards her and she cried out, hands covering her face as she slid down the wall.

�I�m sorry, Rude! I�m so sorry!� She cried, shoulders shaking with her sobs as relief began to steal her adrenaline. �I�m so sorry� Please, I just want to go home. Please take me home.�

Even Reno�s heart went out to her as he could see Rude�s tortured expression, knowing that she would probably never leave this godforsaken place. Once Shinra was interested, there was only one way to go and he knew Rude would not allow it to happen.

�Rude, now!� Tseng was dragging Zack forcibly out of the room, sporting a soon-to-be-black eye and bloody lip. Rude glanced back as his partner crouched down beside the girl.

�Ne�Sa, this is not your fault,� he frowned as she shook her head frantically, folding even more in on herself. Tseng was yelling his name again and his heart broke, knowing there was nothing he could do or say at the moment, if ever now, and his long strides took him back over to his director. He called over his shoulder; �Reno?�

�I got her, yo.�

Rude nodded and hooked Zack�s flailing legs under his arm and the haphazard group departed Interrogation Three. Reno watched them go and then looked down at the mess of a girl beside him. He could only shake his head. It was officially one of the weirdest moments of his career as a Turk. What had Hojo done to this girl? And how the hell was it making two of Shinra�s finest act like crazy whack jobs? He would have hated to see how Sephiroth, himself, would have acted. He shuddered and raked a hand through his hair, sighing softly.

�You�re a real handful, ain�t ya?� Reno wondered and waited while the worst of Ne�Sa�s tremors had passed. �C�mon, sweetheart. Let�s get ya outta here.�

When she still hadn�t responded, Reno lifted her arm around his shoulders, sliding his own around her waist. She leaned heavily against his side and attempted to regulate her breathing as he helped her walk. They were silent until they made it out the interrogation room. Nobody noticed the slight scorch marks left on the wall she had been leaning against.

�W-what did he do to m-me?� She stammered and Reno wished he had an answer other than the one he gave her.

�The same thing that bastard did to everyone he got his hands on, yo,� the redheaded Turk muttered as he headed quickly for the closest detainment room. He prayed he wouldn�t run into any SOLDIERs along the way because he honestly didn�t think he could handle anymore surprises by himself.

�I� I am a monster�� She spat vehemently, struggling to keep herself upright. She hadn�t had a lot of rest since the night before in Hojo�s labs and now, after everything, she was surprised that she was even coherent. Has to be the adrenaline, she thought as she frowned. But why� what the hell was that?!

She couldn�t think, couldn�t get past the terrifying moments when she couldn�t see past fathomless pools of blue and Mako as she was begged to be tasted. But they had stopped it, right? They weren�t actually going to let anything happen� Were they? Rude had promised, but what had taken them so long? Had this all been a test�? A test of what Hojo had done? She was so confused and she barely noticed when the lanky Turk beside her helped her into a bare-bones room. Ha, should feel right at home� She mused tiredly to herself as he deposited her onto the bed.

�Are they going to kill me�?�She wondered quietly, rubbing her arms where the tingling still lingered.

�I dunno, yo. I do know Rude won�t take it lyin� down if they try,� he offered her. �He�s tryin� to get ya outta here.�

She lay down without another word, staring ahead at the blank wall opposite of her, trying to ignore the sense of hope and pain that lanced through her with another thought of Rude. She should have known better than to think she�d gotten away from all of this so easily. Shinra� Shinra was not to be trusted. Hadn�t she heard Hojo mutter that more than once over the years? Yes, she should have reminded herself of this, continuously. She should have put up more of a fight when the Turk had come for her that morning. But they say hindsight was always 20-20. She could only pray now that whatever happened next, it would release her from this life-turned-nightmare.

Reno stepped back from the bed and then shook his head. He still couldn�t see what had Rude so enamored, but who was he to question such things? He and Rude went way back. Almost as far back as he and Tseng. He tapped his a finger against his EMR. Tseng. The Turks were an elite group. They were all each other really had and to do what the Director had, pulling a gun on Rude� And then Rufus� What the fuck was he thinking?! Maybe it was time to rethink his future. Heading for the door, he snagged the keys off the hook and shut the door after him and locking it.

�I gotta get another job, yo,� he grumbled to himself, digging his hands into his pockets and strolling off to find the others.
