Retribution

Chapter Three

I flopped down on the couch, put my feet up with one arm across the back of the couch and the other on the arm while closing my eyes with an exhausted groan.

Six missions in two days, and i had barely gotten three hours sleep during that time period. What did they think i was, a freaking machine?

After Genesis had seen my true face, he had ransacked my room, taking away all of my masks, and when i went looking for them all i found was a note saying "No hiding that pretty face. :)"

Don't worry, he got a smacking when i found him, but still refused to tell me where they were. Knowing him, he burned them most likely. I also hadn't seen Sephiroth in a while.

I was in the room alone for about a relaxing hour before someone walked in.

"Oh, uh, sorry. Didn't know someone was in here." a guy stuttered.

I waved my hand without opening my eyes. "Na. That's okay. Come on in."

"Sweet." he closed the door behind him. I could tell by his voice that he was reasonably young, and judging by the clunking of the clothes he was wearing, he was also a SOLDIER, but since i didn't recognize his voice, he was probably second class.

"What's your name?" i asked.

"Zack. Zack Fair."

The name clicked. "Oh yeah. I know 'bout you."

"You do?"

I chuckled. "Yeah. Come and sit down Zack. Just chuck my legs onto the ground if you're uncomfortable."

Instead of putting them on the ground, he put them in his lap.

"So who exactly are you?"

Before i could answer, the door opened again and i heard my brothers voice. "Zack, you're meant to be training."

"Oh come on Angeal, i've already trained today." Zack whined.

I chuckled. "Yeah Angeal, listen to your student."

I heard him sigh. "Hey Aim. I see you're back from your missions."

"And i'm not going anywhere anytime soon, until i get some proper rest." i opened my eyes and smiled tiredly at him.

He laughed and came and kissed my forehead. "Well then get some rest."

I fake gasped. "You sound like you want me gone as soon as possible!"

"Did it sound that way?"

I took a look at Zack.

He had short black spiky hair and bangs covering the sides of his face. He was probably tall, and he had a muscular build. He also had the iconic blue MAKO eyes of a SOLDIER, and maybe around about 17-18.

I had to admit that he was pretty cute, but too young for me.

He was starting to look confused. "Alright, i guess that you two know each other really well?"

I giggled. "Yeah, but not in the way that you're thinking. I'm Aimee, Angeal's little sister."

"Oooh. That explains a lot." he shook my hand. He took my legs off of him, stood up, before placing them back onto the couch. "But i had better get back to training."

I smiled at him. "Good luck."

Angeal rubbed my shoulders. "Get some rest." before heading after Zack.

I got up after they left and decided to go to the roof, relax and hopefully get some shuteye.
