Seifer Almasy wakes up in Squall's arms and looks around.

Hana stands over the sleeping Zack, holding a large rock... and preparing to smash his head.

Seifer Almasy rises to his feet, seeing Hana through the trees.

Seifer Almasy says, "Hey!"

Zack opens his eyes.

Zack says, "Hana?"

Hana backs off and drops the rock.

Seifer Almasy trudges off toward them, slowly cause of the nursing infant.

Seifer Almasy says, "What the hell are you doing Hana?"

Hana says, "I was going to put him out of his misery."

Seifer Almasy says, "What do you mean?"

Hana bares her teeth.

Hana says, "He's old and worthless."

Seifer Almasy says, "He saved your life dumbass!"

Hana says, "And I’m letting him out of his."

Seifer Almasy narrows his eyes.

Seifer Almasy says, "Not to mention he gave you life to begin with."

Hana says, "He killed Rufus..."

Zack sits up weakly.

Seifer Almasy says, "Dad wanted to kill Squall!"

Seifer Almasy growls.

Hana says, "So what if he had killed Squall.... he obviously had a reason."

Seifer Almasy says, "He was going to kill my mate... he didn't even care when Zack tried to kill me. He raped my mate even..."

Hana says, "But…"

Seifer Almasy says, "No buts!"

Hana says, "I don’t have anyone now..."

Hana starts to cry.

Seifer Almasy says, "you're crying??"

Hana says, "My dad is dead...  my mate hates me ... and I hate him."

Hana points at Zack.

Seifer Almasy says, "That's your own damn luck."

Seifer Almasy rubs his pouch with the squirming infant in it.

Hana says, "And my pouch hurts…"

Seifer Almasy says, "of course it does, you want to nurse."

Hana says, "I can’t…"

Seifer Almasy says, "I know."

Seifer Almasy turns to Zack.

Seifer Almasy says, "What's with the look?"

Zack says, "I had an odd dream."

Seifer Almasy says, "about?"

Zack says, "About Rufus…"

Seifer Almasy says, "about dad? Still?"

Hana slinks off into the garden to cry... rubbing her pouch longingly.

Zack says, "Yeah... it was weird."

Seifer Almasy says, "You always dream about dad though."

Zack says, "Rufus said to go to the Promised Land".

Seifer Almasy says, "really? The promised land again...."

Zack says, "Yes… You don’t have to come... or anything... I'll go on my own"

Seifer Almasy says, "I should go wake Squall so you can say bye to him."

Zack says, "I'll be back... I don’t think Rufus is gonna kill me."

Seifer Almasy walks over to Squall and bends down over him.

Seifer Almasy says, "wake up please, your dad wants to talk to you."

Seifer Almasy kisses Squall's cheek.

Squall Leonhart sits up.

Seifer Almasy helps Squall up.

Zack says, "Squall... I’m going to find Rufus... I had a dream and he told me to go to the Promised Land."

Squall Leonhart says, "You sure Dad?"

Zack says, "Very... I have to make sure... "

Seifer Almasy strokes his fingers through Squall's hair.

Seifer Almasy says, "You'd better not die on us."

Zack says, "Oh... you'd be upset if I did then?"

Seifer Almasy says, "yeah."

Seifer Almasy kisses Squall.

Seifer Almasy says, "See you later Zack."

Zack nods.

Zack says, "Take care of that little baby Squall....  you too Seifer."

Seifer Almasy says, "of course!"

Seifer Almasy rubs his pouch gently, smiling as the infant squirms.

 

The wind is cold up in the Promised Land.

Zack clambers up the rock face.

Zack says, "I’m almost there... damn I wish I wasn’t so fat."

A black shape is up on one cliff, peering down at Zack with blue eyes.

Zack drags himself up onto the ledge.

The creature gently unfolds its wings and launches over the cliff, flying down and landing on all fours by Zack.

Zack is startled and nearly falls off the ledge.

Rufus Shinra snags Zack with his tail.

Zack says, "Gods... you scared me."

Rufus Shinra sits down on his hind legs and watches Zack, scratching one cone-shaped ear with a paw.

Zack says, "I got here... now what?"

Rufus Shinra moves his head back and forth, swaying a little.

Zack sighs.

Zack says, "You gonna kill me in vengeance... or something?"

Rufus Shinra cocks his head again, and then gets back to all fours.

Rufus Shinra says, "grrrrrrr?"

Rufus Shinra slinks his tail around Zack's leg.

Zack says, "Ummm."

Rufus Shinra puts his paws up on Zack's pouch, the sharp claws just touching the skin, not digging at all.

Zack says, "Rufus?"

Rufus Shinra licks Zack's pouch lightly.

Zack says, "Quit that... it tickles."

Rufus Shinra takes his paws down and looks around the snow, then curls up, pulling his wings around himself.

Rufus Shinra says, "rrrrrrrrr."

Zack says, "I don’t understand."

Rufus Shinra licks his paws and looks at Zack.

Zack says, "Is there something you want from me?"

Rufus Shinra lays his head down on his wings and yawns.

Zack sighs.

Sephiroth another black form appears above on the cliff.

Zack looks up and is startled again.

Zack says, "Another?"

Sephiroth leaps down and lands by Zack, his green eyes peeked with curiosity.

Rufus Shinra looks up and backs over to Zack.

Zack scoots back a little.

Sephiroth moves off, a silver main hanging down between his wings.

Rufus Shinra says, "rrrrr?"

Zack says, "Man... why am I here?"

Rufus Shinra gets up and shakes the snow out of his fur.

Zack says, "Two really big winged cats... and me... scared shitless."

Rufus Shinra walks over to Zack and curls his tail around his legs.

Zack says, "Ummm."

Rufus Shinra says, "rrrrr?"

Zack says, "Rrrrr?"

Rufus Shinra moves against Zack's legs and puts his paws up on him again.

Zack says, "What am I supposed to do?"

Rufus Shinra pushes on him a little.

Zack says, "Fall off a cliff? Die? Do a little dance?"

Rufus Shinra continues to push on him a little.

Zack says, "Damnit cant you talk?"

Rufus Shinra nips Zack's tail.

Zack says, "Oww."

Rufus Shinra lets go and pushes a little more.

Zack moves in the direction he is pushed.

Rufus Shinra puts his pawns down and walks behind Zack. Takes his tail with his and pulls gently.

Zack says, "hey. What the heck do you want me to do?"

Rufus Shinra continues to pull gently.

Zack stops walking.

Rufus Shinra puts his paws on Zack's back then moves himself backward.

Zack sits down.

Zack says, "Look kitty... I have no idea what you want."

Rufus Shinra goes around and lies across Zack's lap.

Rufus Shinra says, "purr."

Zack says, "You’re cute. Hmm... Rufus do you go in for Bestiality?"

Rufus Shinra is half in and half out of Zack's lap cause he's about the same size as Zack.

Rufus Shinra says, "rrrrr?"

Zack chuckles.

Zack says, "Nothin..."

Rufus Shinra licks Zack's pouch.

Zack says, "I’m sterile... so it wouldn’t matter."

Rufus Shinra looks into Zack's eyes.

Zack says, "What’s that for?"

Rufus Shinra bites softly on Zack's neck.

Zack says, "Oww... "

Rufus Shinra starts to lap up the blood flowing from Zack's neck.

Zack closes his eyes.

Zack says, "You guys still feed on blood I guess."

Rufus Shinra bites down softly again.

Zack says, "that hurts you know."

Rufus Shinra starts to drink of Zack's blood.

Zack says, "Ohh... my head… feels good..."

Rufus Shinra tickles Zack with his tail as he drinks slowly.

Zack starts to feel woozy.

Rufus Shinra does not stop what he's doing.

Zack says, "Sleepy… Are you ... killing me.... I promised I'd come back."

Rufus Shinra cups a paw under Zack's head. drinks deeper of the rich blood.

Zack starts to slump a little.

Rufus Shinra keeps his paw cupped under Zack's head as he drinks.

Zack says, "You said I was supposed to live for my grandkids... are you going to go back on that?"

Zack sighs softly.

Zack says, "I told Elena... I'd accept death from you...  if you gave it."

Zack starts to feel drowsy and sluggish... just wanting to curl up and sleep.

Rufus Shinra moves his tail up and down Zack's side as he drinks.

Zack begins to purr softly.

Rufus Shinra finishes his meal and sprawls over Zack who is now lying down.

Zack starts to fall asleep.

Rufus Shinra licks Zack's face, purring.

Zack says, "Sleepy."

Rufus Shinra licks his face all over then yawns, showing off the sharp yet long and thin teeth in his mouth.

Zack slips into a deep sleep.

Rufus Shinra lies purring across his chest.

Zack lets go of himself in the dream... feeling odd.

Rufus Shinra falls asleep as well.

Zack says, "I feel weird... what the heck...  "

Zack pads somewhat clumsily out of the cliff face.. wobbling because he's not used to having four legs.

Rufus Shinra is curled up in the snow.

Zack . o O ( one goes here... the other moves there... damn... I keep getting them tangled up.)

Rufus Shinra is so cute asleep.

Zack wobbles over to Rufus and falls on him.

Rufus Shinra opens an eye.

Rufus Shinra says, "mmm, Zack?"

Zack says, "I think."

Rufus Shinra says, "That's you."

Rufus Shinra closes his eye again.

Zack unsheathes his claws.. not really knowing how his legs work just yet.

Rufus Shinra says, "you should get some sleep, there is much to discuss later... this isn't over yet."

Zack says, "I’m afraid to sleep."

Rufus Shinra says, "why?"

Zack says, "Because of my nightmare."

Rufus Shinra says, "which one?"

Zack says, "Where he was there... that bad thing."

Zack drapes himself over Rufus.

Rufus Shinra says, "he's not in sleep, don't worry about sleeping."

Rufus Shinra purrs.

Zack spreads out his wings and falls asleep.

Rufus Shinra purrs and sleeps against Zack.
