Only a few more steps and the cliff overlooking Midgar came into view. She stopped in her tracks. Her hand flew to her mouth to try and stifle her gasp. “Goddess...” He was absolutely riddled with bullets. The attack was unnecessary...malicious...overkill. Emotions chased themselves through her heart one after another; anger, sorrow, pain...and then a slow dawning of an idea. If his life hadn’t slipped away...maybe there was a chance...

She rushed forward, fighting down nausea as she waded through all the blood and went to her knees at Zack’s side. “Zack...are you still with us?” She took off one of her gloves and reached out to pick up the other SOLDIER’s wrist. She placed her fingers in the right position to take his pulse, silently praying to Minerva that she would find one. A small thump brushed against her fingertips. Had she imagined it? No...the pulse was there...thready and weak, but there. It wouldn’t be there much longer if she couldn’t stop this bleeding and get the First Class stable, however. “Zack...hang in there for me, okay? I’m gonna try to get you out of here...” 

She rushed back over to the motorcycle and pulled a shoulder bag out of its center compartment. She’d been in a hurry when she grabbed this stuff, and she just hoped she grabbed the right things. As she rooted around frantically in the bag, a small curse left her lips. “No Cure materia. Great.” She had managed to bring an emergency kit with her, but an emergency kit wouldn’t be enough on its own to save Zack’s life. She pulled the kit and a couple of potions out of the bag and jogged back over to where Zack lay. Nervously, she chewed her bottom lip as she got back down into a kneeling position beside him. “Well...sorry, Zack. Guess I’m not really a good thief. You’ll have to make due with a little healing from me. It’s not much...but it’s better than nothing, right?” 

Why did she keep talking to him? It wasn’t like he was conscious to talk back. Still, somehow it made her feel better, like reminding herself that he was still alive. She fought down another wave of nausea as she placed her hands together. “All right here goes...CURA!” The spell activated and she could feel the power leave as it spread over Zack’s body, doing its best to heal what it could of the injuries he’d incurred. A fully leveled Cure materia would have done a better job but at least some of the injuries were closing, and the bleeding was slowing.

He felt bad.

There was absolutely no denying it. Tobirama was only going to be gone for a couple of days, dealing with political issues that didn’t require the Hokage’s presence, helping to ease the burden off of Hashirama’s shoulders.

And what was Hashirama doing with his time?

Investigating his brother’s private affairs. Invading the space he’d made for himself.

The only excuse that Hashirama clung to with dogged determination was the fact that he’d already lost someone he cared for deeply to disappearances into a basement. And while he trusted his little brother to be a little more attached to him and the clan, there was no telling what Tobirama actually did in that workshop of his.

And instead of the long and difficult conversation such a confrontation would bring, Hashirama would just take a quick look while Tobirama was away. What was the worst that could happen?

He kind of dreaded the thought. Hashirama knew that he and his little brother didn’t see eye to eye on things that were ‘necessary’. But he did have to know. There were already too many secrets in Konoha.

    ❝You always knew me better than most. Of course      I don’t believe things can go back ta normal..Then again; the way      things were could hardly be considered normal...❞ Honey blonde hair is pushed back, eyes gazed over him while she goes silent, if even for a moment. 

   ❝Surely you aren’t that bitter towards me, are you? ❞

Nevaeh hurried quickly across the training grounds in search of her elder sister Thor. Upon spying her she picked up her pace calling out. “Thor!” She said excitedly.

Marco stepped off the wagon, stumbling some from his weak knees. This was a long ways from Trost and Jinae...

His shadow moved to stretch in front of him, a glowing red orb taking place where the shadow’s left ‘eye’ would be, to look up at him.

‘You okay Marco?’ Marku’s voice played through Marco’s head, concern laced with slight humor.

‘You try sitting for three hours in a horse-drawn wagon. Let’s see how your knees feel.’ Marco deadpanned, a smile forming on his lips as he started unloading their few bags, and payed the driver.

Once the wagon left, Marco’s shadow pooled like ink for a moment, before Marku emerged, appearing in front of him.

“Here, I’ll take my own bag.” He chuckled, grabbing it from the boy’s hands. 

Once the two had everything set in their hotel room, Marku was already dragging Marco along to explore.

“Do we really~ have to go out into the woods?” 

“Ah come on Marco, don’t be like that. The rumors say there’s monsters here! Monsters that haven’t been seen for so many Millennia!” Marku grins excitedly. “Where else would be better to look for such creatures, then the safety of the forest?”

Marco sighed in defeat, and followed close behind, not wanting to get lost.
