jsakurachan1 's birthday, so everyone give her the loves!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOO BOO! Ok, so here it is, roughly two thirds of the Gala event closing *smacks fucking livejournal again and swears to move somewhere else where posting the soap doesn't take two goddamned hours*37
“Excuse me,” Cloud said, realizing he’d stepped back into someone. He glanced back as he turned and was confronted with a set of fierce cat-like eyes, glittering green jewels in a pale and beautiful face. “Sorry about that, I’m Cloud.”
“You are in my way,” the boy said, his voice exotic and clipped. His slender little hand tightened on the hilt of his sheathed sword and Cloud laughed a bit at the sight he presented. What was he, fifteen, maybe? What the fuck was a little kid doing here? And with a weapon, no less?
“You look like you’re on a mission,” Cloud remarked, stepping to stay in his way when the boy tried to sidle past him. “Where are you going.”
“It is not your business,” he snapped, glaring at Cloud. “Get out of my way, annoying man, before I neuter you.”
Cloud’s brows rose and he realized he was talking to
“You know, you look like you could use a breath of fresh air,” Cloud suggested. “It’s never a good idea to make decisions mad.”
The boy stopped trying to evade him finally and just crossed his arms over his chest, annoyed. He deliberately looked Cloud up and down before giving a soft snort of disdain and asking, “Do you think I am a little boy?”
“Er…yeah?” Cloud said, and laughed. “You aren’t a little girl, that’s for sure.”
The boy smirked at him and said, “Listen, mister pedophile man, I am eighteen already, and I am going to run my lover through, so you need to stop asking me questions and let me get to it already, yes?”
“How about no,” Cloud said, and grinned. “You run someone through here, it’s going to be bad news, and if you’re eighteen then you get punished like a grown up. Plus, I’m pretty sure you’re here illegally, so then we’d have to ask permission of the Cetrans to put you to death and that’s a huge hassle. And it all could be avoided by you just kicking your lover’s ass instead of chopping him up.”
He flicked his fingers in the direction of the sword and said, “Swords are so out of fashion anyway. I vote for a silenced gun and a pillow in the dead of night.”
The youth’s mouth curved up in a slight smile.
“You are right, annoying man. Perhaps there is another revenge I could take.”
“I’m Cloud,” he pointedly said, mostly because Annoying Man wasn’t exactly flattering. “What’s your name?”
“Kadaj,” the boy said, and took a deep breath. “You are amusing, Cloud. Were I not so angry I would talk with you more, but I am.”
Cloud turned and saw Kadaj glaring in the direction of
“Ah,” he said, nodding. “Yeah, I gotcha.”
“Excuse me,” Kadaj hissed, and stalked off after them, Cloud watching him go with assessing, thoughtful blue eyes.
Elena stopped off in the ladies to gather her composure and stared at herself in the mirror. Yes, she was a stunning beauty, she knew it in a kind of analytical, removed way. This pale and perfect face was no more she herself than the mirror was – it was simply a shell, a rather handy façade when she needed money or more things to fill the bottomless void in her.
And now that she needed money more than ever, this façade would have to work.
She smiled at herself and applied more lip-gloss to her candy-pink lips, touched up her makeup, and took a deep breath.
“You can do this,” she told herself, smoothing her hair and the dainty lines of her eyebrows. “You dealt with the father for all of these years, the son is a given, right?”
She figured that Rufus would be an easy mark once they got through the trivialities of his ego. He deferred on the basis that she had belonged to his father, yet it had never stopped him from eye-raping her in the past whenever they’d met. In fact, she would wager any money she had that the idea of taking what was his father’s appealed to Rufus immensely. Oh yes. He would dance to her tune, give her the money she needed, and she would walk away with a baby back to
So, Rufus it was.
“Lock up your sons,” she murmured, and winked at herself in the mirror.
Reeve was backing out of the kitchen in flustered irritation at having been forcibly forbidden to enter once more – which he found offensive, seeing as he’d only checked on the caterers twice, yet – when he bumped into someone and heard the unmistakable sound of glass shattering.
“Oh, I am so sorry, I – ”
He cut his abject apology off when he turned and found himself looking up at Genesis’s innocent, smiling face.
“Why, Reeve, darling, whatever are you doing?” he asked, and his eyes slid to the door that had just swung closed. “Pestering the caterers, dear?”
Reeve drew himself up and indignantly said, “I am not.” He deflated a little and added, “They’ve banned me from the kitchen. Apparently, my questions about their service make their wait-staff upset. The nerve!”
Genesis pulled a moue of sympathy and Reeve flushed, looking down to see the remains of the man’s drink on the floor.
“I apologize for your drink,” he said, frowning.
Genesis leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest and his head cocked to one side.
“I’ll go get you another, shall I?” Reeve offered, looking for a means of escape. He flushed darkly when Genesis smirked, realizing at once that he was playing out the very scenario the man had first presented him. In a heated attempt to alter the course of Genesis’s fictional history, he snapped, “I did not check on them five times, I’ll have you know!”
Genesis sighed dramatically and said, “Alas, I overestimated their patience, my love. Be a dear and please do fetch me another drink, I’m feeling terribly out of sorts. Yuffie is quite drunk, you see, and she fancies herself in love with you.”
Reeve gaped at him, stunned, his mind moiling. He had reconciled himself to the idea of not being with Yuffie, realizing that their lifestyles meshed as well as oil and water, but that was when he thought there was no return for his affection. If Yuffie fancied herself in love with him, why, there was a chance she would be willing to give up this childish behavior and finally grow up.
“Reeve, darling, you appear addled, my love,” Genesis said, and shooed him, adding, “Run, get me a drink, dear. I need to fortify my patience with alcohol. There’s a love.”
Reeve glanced over at Yuffie, laughing and an utter wreck near the buffet table. Though her beauty was overshadowed by her utterly boorish behavior, Reeve could not deny that he still felt the strong pull of his long-time infatuation with her.
“Yes,” he agreed, and nodded a little before he headed towards the laughing Princess.
Genesis watched him go with thoughtful, alert blue eyes.
Tseng was contemplating Zack, uncertain what to make of him. His keen, dark eyes, however, did not miss his little Jewel following
“And what do you do for our good friend
“I’m a handyman,” Zack said, and Tseng traded a weighty look with Mei Li. He no more bought the handyman routine than she did. This man moved with the lithe, silent grace of a killing machine, and there was simply no hiding that.
“How…stimulating,” Tseng murmured, and said, “Go now, Mei Li, and check on my Jewel. I believe this party has lost what little charm it held for me.”
She bowed to him in deference, whispered a sweet, “Yes, Tseng shifu,” and toddled away on Zack’s arm towards the door to the back.
Tseng finished off his drink and waited until they, too, had vanished into the back before he lazily made his way towards the front door, pausing for a moment to salute Rude, who was himself moving off to seek out
Oh, how interesting things were in this awful, congested, and jaded little city.
Tseng smirked and left the Gala, his thoughts circling around Kadaj and how soon he would claim his prized little Jewel.
She nodded, looking fragile as glass, her small hands still trembling.
“You ain’t got nothing to feel bad about,” he told her.
“He called me a tramp,” she whispered. “He said I was embarrassing him, and that his father would find me vile, playing whore to a pimp.”
“You ain’t like that,” he whispered, rocking her softly. “You’re beautiful and kind and everyone loves you – he’s just jealous ‘cause nobody loves him. C’mere.”
He pulled her back a little to look into her wide, green eyes. She was almost level with him in those amazing shoes, and she looked good enough to eat in that clinging, tastefully revealing dress.
“You don’t mind him,
His hand slid down to cup her high, round ass, feeling the material of her garter taut down the back of her thigh, holding up those stockings she looked so good in.
“You’re amazing and sexy and the only thing a man could ask for,” he whispered, his voice husky, his hand still cupping her face as the fingers of his other hand walked the hem of her skirt up so he could trace the silky band of her garter against her soft skin. “You don’t worry about Rufus, I’ll handle him – I just want you to feel good, Cateyes. I want you to be happy.”
She was shaking again, but not with nerves. Her green eyes were bright and excited and her heart pounded against his, her lips parting softly.
Rude watched
He kept himself from going after them. After all, if he was to make this situation work in his favor, he needed to let
Zack and that foreign woman, apparently, had the same idea, following in Kadaj’s wake.
Rude grimly decided to wait and follow once they were out of sight. He would leave
He caught Tseng’s salute from the corner of his eye and ignored it. Such was the way of men like himself. Rude was all brutal decisions and hard truths, there was no room for softness in what he must do. No room for error, either, so he followed the pair through the kitchens as they followed the young boy, Kadaj, and quietly plotted on how he would benefit from it.
Reeve made his hesitant way towards Yuffie, bracing himself to finally admit his attraction to her, willing himself to be strong enough to beg her away from her lifestyle into one that would give them a chance, because he simply could not be like her. He circled a few times, the drink for Genesis forgotten, his nerves nearly getting the better of him and making him scamper off to the safety of the statue.
But just when he’d worked up the nerve to come speak to her, Yuffie declared, “This party needs a little life!” and clambered onto the buffet table, crying to the crowd, “Who here would put money in the kitty to see a Princess strip, huh?”
There was a moment of silence before the crowd erupted in a roar of approval.
Grinning, Yuffie sashayed clumsily across appetizers, caviar, and discarded programs to the center of the table and started to wriggle her slender body to the light, formless music
“Oh, dear Holy,” Reeve whispered, swallowing hard as hands lifted in the air, Gil notes swaying in time with Yuffie’s hips. He pushed his way through the crowd, murmuring his excuses and trying his best not to step on anyone’s toes.
He reached the table and pushed between two silver-haired gentlemen who should have – in Reeve’s humble opinion – been far too refined for this kind of thing. But from everything he had seen of the nouveau riche tonight, he realized that they were a far cry from the civilized, mannered people he’d been so convinced they were.
“Yuffie!” he called, waving his hands in a frantic bid for her attention. Gone were his nerves over speaking with her. Right now, Yuffie was acting reprehensibly, and Reeve was anxious to get to her before she spoiled everything for poor Mrs. ShinRa. “Yuffie!”
“Reeve!” she laughed, throwing her scarf to someone in the crowd and grinning down at him. “Look at all the money they’re giving you!”
“Yuffie! Get down this instant!” he said, trying for stern but only managing to sound frazzled and incompetent. “Seriously! Before Genesis looks over and sees this!”
Yuffie giggled and shrugged, calling out to the crowd, “Go ahead, everyone! Lay in your bids! Winner gets the prize!”
She wiggled her pert little ass suggestively and Reeve clutched his chest, breathing in despairing horror, “Holy save me! She’s gone insane!”
“Alright! Reeve says time is up!” she cried, and there was a collective groan of disappointment that Reeve couldn’t hear over his relief. “So, off I go!”
She flung herself off of the table at the unsuspecting painter, managing to land in his arms with a shrill laugh.
Startled, Reeve caught her, the crowd parting around them. Trying to keep her on her feet, Reeve hoisted her up beneath the arms and stiffened in shock when Yuffie cried, “I love you, Reeve!” and kissed his parted lips.
From the furthest reaches of the gallery came a loud, echoing, and imperiously strong voice, the dire warning it gave bouncing off of the walls and dwarfing even the roar of the crowd.
“Get your skanky whore hands off of my boyfriend you backstabbing bitch!”
“Oh no,” Reeve whispered, and closed his eyes in weary resignation as Genesis descended upon them like a valkyrie on the wing.
Rufus was in deep conversation with a woman whose cleavage was rather prominently on display – much to his lecherous delight – when Elena turned up at his shoulder. She gave The Grand Cleavage a tight, cattish smile and purred, “And goodnight, then.”
Rufus watched the delightfully laden woman take herself off to less hostile parts, his eyes full of longing and his hands simply itching to get hold of those large breasts. He looked down at Elena and snapped, “Cock blocker.”
“Oh, grow up, she’s half your age,” Elena told him, and gave him a smile. “Besides, I can do you better than she could, I’m better equipped for it.”
Rufus aimed a scathing look at her pert breasts and said, “That I cannot buy, Elena. I don’t think you measure up to a quarter of her – ”
“Size isn’t everything, you perverted twit!” Elena hissed, making Rufus’s brows raise in startled amusement.
“My, what crawled in your twat and died?” he inquired, and knocked back another drink.
“Not your father, thank god,” she said, and fumbled her smokes out, lighting one with a soft huff of impatience.
“Shouldn’t you not be smoking those?”
Elena laughed and asked, “What the fuck, Rufus? Are you suddenly the morals police?”
He rolled his eyes and pointedly said, “Don’t come sobbing to me when your baby has birth defects, that’s all.”
She took a deep breath and said, “I need money, Rufus.”
Wary, he asked, “How much?”
She told him, watching the quoted figure sink in.
“It’s to pay
“Some loss,” Rufus snorted, and after a moment he marveled, “He truly paid that much for you? That is simply outlandish!”
“Look, I’ll work it off, ok?” Elena wheedled, gifting him with the full power of her beauty. She smiled gently and purred, “You can do anything you want to me, Rufus. And since I’m knocked up, you can even cum inside me if you want. Anything, Rufus – I’ll even beg if you want…”
His eyes started to glow with the possibilities. He was too drunk and far too focused on the short term to really care about much. And, besides, she’d chased off his chance with The Grand Cleavage already…
“I don’t think so,” he said, and suggested, “Ask
Elena’s hand tightened on her glass but she smiled at him and whispered, “Then we’ll make tonight a freebie, just to…give you a taste?”
He stared at her for a long moment, weighing his options and dimly aware that the focus of the crowd had shifted onto that confounding, crazy whore of a Princess and the scurrying little painter.
Elena smiled at him and dropped one lid in a lascivious wink.
“Alright then, I suppose,” Rufus grudgingly said. It would beat having to call up
Elena laughed lightly and assured him, “You’re in good hands, Rufus. Let’s go.”
He took her arm and staggered lightly to the door, wondering when on earth
Just as the kiss started to get more intense, the door to the Gallery proper was flung open and
Startled,
He turned and put
“Why the rush?” Kadaj asked, and the sharp, clipped quality of his speech gave
The boy slammed the door behind him and stalked closer, ignoring
“Kadaj, I’m telling you now not to come any closer,”
“Like you would touch me!” Kadaj scoffed, and lunged into the light to give
Shocked,
In a soft, heartbroken whisper, he breathed, “Sojzha?”
“Quickly,” Mei Li breathed, and paused to kick off her shoes once they were into the busy kitchen. She gathered them in her hand, hitched up her skirt, and started to run at a surprisingly fast pace through to the back. She yelled at one of the servers, “The boy! Where did he go?”
“There, onto the docking bay,” the man answered, and Zack rushed to the door with her, picking up on her sudden and shocking anxiety. He’d never known Mei Li to be anything other than languidly peaceful, and her fear made him more nervous than Kadaj’s flares of temper.
She came to a halt at the door and held him back, listening. They heard raised voices – Kadaj’s high and angry,
Too alarmed to even think of starting to talk, Zack crept out with her into the deep shadows by the door and watched in stunned amazement as the scene played out.
“Sojzha?”
Kadaj faltered for a moment, the soft endearment bringing to the surface so many deeply-buried memories that it staggered him. In an instant he saw himself surrounded by family, held by warm, strong hands, kissed and coddled and beloved.
But it was all a lie. He’d been sold away, traded, given up – an unwanted and unneeded extra mouth good only for the money his body could bring in, whatever Tseng may falsely believe.
Kadaj shook himself out of it and shoved
“I would kill you if I had the chance!” the boy hissed, and moved as if he would strike
“I would kill you!” Kadaj snarled again, pushing past
“Kadaj!”
There was something so sorrowful about the way he said it that
Something in the way he spoke had calmed Kadaj instantly, a worried look replacing the overwhelming fury on his delicate face.
“
The man looked at him with dazed blue eyes, looking at
“Sh, hush, I’m here,” Kadaj purred, brushing a warm hand over
“Kadaj,” he said again, and his blue eyes rolled up in his head, his teeth clenching and his lips drawing back in a grimace of pain. When his body went rigid and suddenly slumped, Kadaj eased him to the ground, cradling
“Wh…what’s happening?”
Kadaj looked up at
“He didn’t tell you?” Kadaj asked, and his voice was faintly mocking. “But I thought you shared everything.”
“There are things about his life that you will never know, Mrs. ShinRa,” Kadaj told him, his voice low and whispery. “There are secrets that he will never share with you. I am his lover. I alone am the one who knows everything about him.”
“I am sorry,” Kadaj whispered down to
He looked up at
Mei Li emerged from the shadows with Zack at her back, and Kadaj looked almost relieved to see them.
“How bad was it?” Mei Li asked, and
“Bad enough,” Kadaj lowly said, and moved when Zack came to take his place. The dark-haired, muscular man knelt and managed to heft
As he watched him, he even began to doubt himself, and the resulting confusion left him adrift in indecision – was this the boy his family had lost so long ago? Or was he simply one of the many Jenovan bastards that littered their country with those trademark eyes?
Kadaj took his cell phone out of his pocket, calling
“Is there…is there anything I can do?”
“We will take him home and let him rest,” Kadaj coldly told him, and added with a hard glare, “The best thing you can do, Mrs. ShinRa, is never see him again.”
He watched in anxious silence as Mei Li opened the service door and Zack carried
He went out into the warm night air, his handkerchief pressed to his flushed cheek, crying softly to see Reno so frighteningly still as they bundled his body into the car and drove away, Kadaj giving Yazoo one last spiteful, weighty look from the tinted window as it rolled up.
Utterly lost,

I must say, I am all for hot, angry, bitchy Rufus/Elena sex! :D The two of them are fucking priceless together in their train wreck of an existence.
Oh dear, the Genesis/Reeve/Yuffie triangle continues! Shit's goin' down!
BTW, "What crawled up your twat and died?" "Not your father, thank god" = best. exchange. ever.

Date: 2009-07-29 05:15 am (UTC)You mentioned Lazard in one of your chapters.
...
Where did he go, how can we get him back, and can I keep him??? ^//^ And I hate to be the one random incest freak in the entire fandom, but if you could include anything, anything at all between Rufus and Lazard (dialogue, arguing, competition, fighting, tension... sex, if I may be so bold)... I will faint of joy. You see, I've recently become so obsessed with this pairing that it's painful. Worse, there is literally NONE OF IT TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE. ;_; Hell, it's hard enough to get both of them in the same SCENE in a fanfic, let alone as a pairing. And you hinted at some future Lazard/Rufus competition, so... *puppy dog eyes* Please? I loves me some Lazard. As long as he's included, SOMEWHERE, I will be happy. Anything with Rufus will be icing on the sexiest cake in existence. Wow, I'm such a fangirl. IT'S THE GLOVES. ^^;;;;;;;;;
*off to figure out which chapter had Lazard in it*

I think my heart just blew the fuck up! *fangirl squealing* I can't wait until Monday! Except I will probably have to wait until Tuesday because I'm spending the weekend with my partner's family and they don't have internet...
And, my new icon to celebrate <3 And ahh I just got your joke *dies* ^//^

I noticed some mention of 2 silver hair men in the crowd.. umm.. old people or ?
loved the interaction between Cloud and Kadaj in the start as well..
I am wondering more and more what Rude is up to of course.
And the meeting between Kadaj and Yazoo!!!! I CANT WAIT to hear more about it ! :o
and .. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU Jsakurachan !!!
thanks!!!

Date: 2009-07-29 01:38 pm (UTC)Oops, my bad, the two SHM in the crowd were Yazoo and Kadaj *slinks away*
Rude's motives will eventually come out at the close of Yazoo's storyline, so then we can all facepalm together :D
Glad you liked it! Thank you so much, kiddo! *snuggles you*

Date: 2009-07-27 07:58 pm (UTC)Great Episode!
Wow, Yazoo recognized Kadaj and with all the drama Kadaj just brushed to whole thing off. I bet Yazoo wont let this go though. She might even have to call her mom and dad to ask some questions. And then of course the Jenova's are going to have to hightail it to Midgar to see for themselves :O I'm biting my nails I'm so excited!
Poor Genesis! Freaking Yuffie muscleing in on his man. She's got some nerve! But then I know Genesis is somehow going to turn this around. I have faith in him. He's too awesome to let some skanky whore steal his man. *no offense meant to Yuffie of course, I like her* :)
For the first time ever I like Elena. She's got spunk AND no morals. Somehow she's going to come out of this the winner. I just know it.
Clapclapclapclapclap... can't wait for next week!
no subject
Date: 2009-07-29 01:36 pm (UTC)Heh, yeah, Kadaj doesn't let much affect him when he's focused on his anger, and he's willfully forgotten so much about his past that he doesn't want to know about it. Yazoo's calling of his name brought some of it back, but he's been angry about being cast off for so long, he won't even consider an alternative. And then Reno's spell made for a convenient way for him to ignore it entirely. Give him some time to think on it, and then he'll get mad all over again. And I suppose there might be some exploratory calls on Yazoo's part to his family :D
Genesis and Yuffie fighting over Reeve had such comedic qualities that I couldn't pass it up! We'll see who comes out the winner in the end, because I doubt it will end at the Gala ;)
Elena, like most people of her ilk, will always land on her feet, and the good people of the world will continue to scratch their heads and wonder why.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Yuffie/Reeve/Gen, yeah, they just need to be a three way item. It would solve all their problems. ;p
And my heart is breaking for Yazoo. I just know she's going to be the one that gets hurt in all this, and she so doesn't deserve it. *sniff*
Awesome episode, can't wait til next week

Date: 2009-07-29 01:25 pm (UTC)A three way would not be totally out of the question if Yuffie were not so very bad for Reeve...we'll just have to see :D
And I feel for Yazoo, too! But I'm a bastard, because I'm the one writing more misery for her!
I'm glad you liked it!

Date: 2009-07-28 01:15 am (UTC)Yuffie and Genesis CATFIGHT! Oh yeah. My money's on Gen. He can still stand upright.
I agree with sussurous, Yazoo's going to brood about Kadaj and get up the nerve to phone home. He might have been expendable, but I bet Kadaj was not. I can't wait to see Seph screw up Tseng's plans.
Oh, and, um, by the way? I nominated Midgar: The Soap for a Genesis Award in the best AU category, 'cuz it totally deserves it. =]

no subject
Date: 2009-07-29 01:14 pm (UTC)One catfight, coming right up! It is already written, it just needs some tweaking ;)
Glad you liked it!
no subject
Date: 2009-07-28 08:57 am (UTC)Yay for a Yuffie/Genesis cat fight. I guess Genesis will kick Yuffie's ass. Gen is a)stronger b)compareably sober and c)determined. And Reeve will never forget this Gala. For sure.
Elena and Rufus are probably not done with each other. I wonder if she will get her way...there are point where I just wish Reno would finish her off.
The Yazoo and Kadaj meeting is the worst cliffhanger ever. I doubt Yazoo will let this rest. And I guess Reno has some explaining to do next time he turns up at Yazoo's. Seizure or not, he won't listen to Kadaj and not meet Yazoo again.
Plus, I can smell Cetrans stepping in soon. Sephiroth anyone? Add some Tseng to it...that's gonna be fun. Not.
I want more!
no subject
Date: 2009-07-29 01:12 pm (UTC)Hehe, I hope the catfight comes out ok! I'm not sure there will be any winners, really, since Reeve isn't the kind to like being fought over. We'll have to see!
Elena and Rufus are looking to become one very messed up little fling. It might be in everyone's best interests if Reno just offs her, but then where would my plot go? :D
Yazoo is stunned from seeing Kadaj, shocked by witnessing Reno's sickness for himself, and is about to get a bigger shock when he goes back into the Gallery, so I'm not sure his poor nerves can handle it.
There is more to come! I am very glad that you liked it! Thank you very much!

And isn't Reno daring? That last scene is simply painful for a variety of reasons. I don't even know who to feel worst for.
But I do hope Cloud was lurking about unnoticed and snapping lots of lovely, scandalous pictures!
I don't know if Dreamwidth is better than LJ, but if you're really that frustrated, it's something you might want to check out.

Date: 2009-07-29 01:08 pm (UTC)Genesis is every inch the theatrical drama queen, and he will fight to the death (or at least to the misplaced hair or chipped fingernail) for the man he...well, the man he calls his boyfriend :D
I'm glad to hear that the situation around Reno, Yazoo, and Kadaj is growing a little more thick. I had hoped it would have an impact, and I think it did, so thank you!
As for Cloud...well, he's a reporter at heart and the only one present with a camera, so I'm pretty sure he'll have the juiciest stories for print the next day!
Dreamwidth, huh? Thank you! I will look into it! Could be, everyone on LJ is there, too, so it wouldn't be too awful big of a deal to move.
EPIC!
Date: 2009-07-29 05:46 pm (UTC)All the facts ran so well and you still let much more for the future...
I'm sensing Jenova's family closer...Elena/Rufus...good I must drawn this...
Beloved Gen/Reeve- Reeve IS Gen's man. Period! That's cute and surely would be hot.
and poor Reno...
I loved this chapter.
Buut...what I really have to shout that I LOVED!!!!
was "...he always wanted her – the need just never died down. "
Reno is in love...and wants Yazoo's happiness!!!!!
Kisses and love dear!
Re: EPIC!
Date: 2009-08-01 05:02 pm (UTC)Thank you so much, Bela! I hope all is well for you! And I was hoping Reno's need for Yazoo would come across in that way, so woot! He feels something for her, he just doesn't know what (but WE do!).
Reeve is totally Gen's man, he just doesn't know it yet, lol! So watch out, Yuffie!
I can't wait for more of your amazing drawings, Bela! *squeals* I'm so excited! I love you, kid! Hope to talk to you soon!
GAH!!!!

there are so many conflicts coming to a climax...and still, Rude is being Rude and not revealing anything...DAMN HIM!
lol poor Reeve...this night was going so well...but he should have expected this when he knew that yuffie and G were getting drunk...
poor yazooo!!! now she's all alone...what will she do?
and *points and laughs* take that tseng...you cant have my baby! he too good for you!
i forgive reno...finally...i hope he feels better soon...and starts telling certain cetran beauties the truth...
*poke poke* where be sephy?
oh and thanks a million for all the help! i woudl never have figured that out...
and thanks for the bday note! it made me cry i was so happy...
i had to spend the day alone writing a research paper on primates, but all the texts and emails and calls i was getting, along with the note, made me so happy and helped me get through the long day smiling...
yay done with three of my four classes! thats six hours a day to work! money woot!
Re: GAH!!!!
Date: 2009-08-01 04:41 pm (UTC)Hehe! Rude won't say a word until the time is right! And Reeve should've known that nothing short of the Apocalypse was going to happen with Genesis and Yuffie together.
Reno is very good at maintaining his relaxed vibe so he doesn't get "sick", as Kadaj calls it. It doesn't make him any less of a bastard all around, but it does make me feel bad for him, trying to hide it from everyone but his closest lovers.
Sephy will come in due time, no worries! And you are more than welcome for the help! And I'm sorry you spent your birthday alone, but I am really happy all of the well-wishes made you feel better! WOOT! *glomps you*

Date: 2009-08-05 05:47 pm (UTC)Count on Yuffie to liven up any party XD
The last part was so emotional with Reno having his seizure and Yazoo discovering who Kadaj really is. It must ghurt him that Kadaj rejects him, but then it´s understandable as well... Argh, if things just weren´t so complicated XD Love it!!!
