A/N: Italics denote Cissnei's thoughts unless used in other character dialogue. Also, I profess that I sadly don't own FFVII or any affiliated games, novels,and/or insanely awesome CGI movies. I'd also say that Shinra Company is a perfect piece to accompany his chapter. All my apologies for long updates!

While the events of the previous chapters are happening, Cissnei was assigned an investigation by Tseng, her superior and head of the Turks. She was to do a background check on Sephiroth, the new student. However, this mission is not the kind that comes to her everyday...

"You are hereby assigned for this task" Tseng coldly informed Cissnei. "You are to track down the student named Sephiroth Crescent. Follow him, keep tabs on him, and gather information on him. Keep watch on anything suspicious." "Why do we have to follow him? Has he done anything wrong?" Cissnei asked. "It's nothing... Go to work" was all the reply that Tseng gave.

She tracked down her target to an empty alleyway in Sector 6, where she also saw-

"Kadaj! Loz! Yazoo! What the hell are you doing here?" Cissnei whispered, shocked.

"Where's Mother?" Kadaj angrily asked. He's snappier than usual, Cissnei thought.

"Why, she's right where she's supposed to be" Sephiroth replied.

"Can I see her?" Loz pleaded.

"Not now, Lot, don't cry" Yazoo rebutted. "But. But aa-"

"Shaddup Yazoo! I'm a damn big boy now, so shaddup!"

"What about that little contest of yours with Spikey?" All three asked Sephiroth.

"That is none of your concern, isn't it, Turk?" Sephiroth smiled knowingly.

Oh shit! He found me out! Cissnei hightailed it from there, and with her legs screaming for rest, kicked the dust away with every step.

Arriving in the church in Sector 5, she saw Zack and Aerith- together. Waiting to see whether she's shaken the silver-haired student off, she fell asleep, only to get woken up by Genesis as he whisked her away from some angry silver-haired guy.

"May I ask why Sephy is chasing you?" Genesis inquired the auburn-haired girl.

"None of your business, bard-brain" said girl replied.

"Well well, we don't see such a predicament, don't we, Agent Shuriken?"

"I said, none of your business, bard-brain!" Cissnei replied through gritted teeth.

"I'll bet that you tracked down Sephiroth on Tseng's orders, didn't you, Cissnei?"

"... How did you know that?"

"Listen, I know Tseng. His position as Turk leader allows him power to spy on any student within the school, making every action of his suspicious."

"But Sephiroth's dealings seem too shady to even be possible! You're his friend, so stop this!"

"Sephiroth is none of my concern. It's like he'll mess the school up big time."

"Stupid bard-brain! Just go back to your poetry corner and blab off verses where you belong!"

"Ouch. I'm so hurt, Ciss."

"Whatever. I'm outta here."

"Don't leave me like that! I'm bored and have nothing to do, don't you know?"

"Go find someone else to bother, raven-pants."

"Raven pants? Are you out of your mind?"

"No, and shut up, stupid chicken-ass."

"Don't insult the Herald of Minerva! He's handsome, and charming too."

"Charming? Hah, the only thing that will be able to fall in love with you is a crow!"

"Oh I see. "My friend, your desire is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess, am I correct?"

"Hmph. Quoting LOVELESS again, I see."

"Perhaps this is the gift that the Goddess shall give you, a heart's desire that she would grant."

Cissnei's world stopped when Genesis leaned close to her, and lightly kissed her in the cheek. Even then, as the rain started falling, her world kept spinning and soon enough, she fainted. Genesis could only smile to himself as he slung her over his back, and carried her into his motorbike.

By then, the rain started falling.

She's so quiet even when she's sleeping- Angeal snores like a jet engine and Sephiroth mutters 'Reunion' in his sleep. Genesis only gaped as Cissnei stirred from her sleep. She woke up while they were a few blocks away, but the comfortable atmosphere that was around them collapsed as the two had another argument.

"What the hell? Why did you kiss me like that? Are you out of your mind?!"

"Why, Shuriken-chan, do you think of that kiss in any other way?"

"Such a raven-pants- no wonder your little SOLDIER can't think of anything but prey"

"The eagle swoops down on it's foe" Genesis smirked before lowering his head down to-

BOOOOOM!

Thunder roared overhead, revealing the face of a silver-haired, cat-eyed youth.

"Genesis. Making out with Turks now are you?" Sephiroth greeted.

"Sephiroth. What are you doing here on this fine rainy evening?" Genesis replied in kind.

Cissnei, seeing the distraction, ran away as far as she can from two thirds of the Triad. She did hear something like "I'm the hotter playboy than you,grandpappy" though.

Cissnei kept running.

There seemed to be no end to the long and winding streets, and she cursed herself for falling asleep during her and Genesis' drive. Now she was lost, and the road seemed to stretch to infinity. Aside from the occasional flashes of thunder and the once-in-a lifetime sighting of street signs, she wandered aimlessly until she came back to the church.

However, she did not like what she saw.

There was Zack and Aerith, out in the rain, fighting, but their love for each other shining through the anger and hate that appear on their faces.

Then, Cissnei knew that whatever she had with Zack was over-not that she had that kind of relationship with him anyway. After all, maybe Zack only dated her to try to get over Aerith. She was now in turmoil because of her feelings for both Zack and Genesis.

She thought no more.

She departed, and gave her report to Tseng. This was her job as enforcer of discipline and order in the school, and she will not let her feelings get in the way of it.

"Now, I have a new assignment for you, Agent Shuriken" Tseng informed Cissnei. "You will keep watch over the upcoming competition between Fair, Strife, Rhapsodos, and Crescent. Guarantee that there will be no interference from Valentine, Hewley, Kisaragi, and anyone else. The President expects a good show and those who will disrupt it will be apprehended with brute and decisive force. Do I make myself clear?"

"What about Sephiroth's underlings?"

"Keep them under tight surveillance. Reno and Rude will assist you."

"Oh great. Another task with the patients of Hojo's Asylum."

"Don't complain. No task is-"

"too hard for the Turks. Yeah yeah."

"Now, get to work!"

"Yes sir!" was all Cissnei said. As she closed the door, he didn't even hear her.
