Zane Fair  "Ugh, where is everyone..." The wood creaking below his boots was the last thing Zane may have noticed as he walked across the small bridge in the direction of the familiar house. It was fortunate enough that the situation had been explained to him, but the mansion and the church were both vacant. Even Seventh Heaven had no one he recognized inside. "Wonder if either of my sisters are here." He muttered to himself, pushing open the door. He opened his mouth to call out some names, but he stopped himself as he heard speaking from outside. Quickly ducking down, he peaked out the slightly open window."...the Ancients. Aerith is alive, anything is possible." Tseng said, as he was in the company of a few Turks and a group of infantrymen."Right, Aerith. But even if another Ancient came back, why would they be here? Don't they have a city?""An abandoned one. It's possible a full Ancient would be able to feel another, and followed Aerith's presence here.""A... full Ancient?""...Aerith is only half-Ancient.""Last time Shinra "identified" an Ancient, it turned out to be a calamity that almost destroyed the world.""Life signs of an Ancient appeared suddenly in this area. It wasn't Aerith, so we're searching the area.""A Cetra? Was it me?" Zane wondered quietly to himself. He didn't appear around here initially, so was it him, or one of his sisters? He doubted it was some ancestor, like they were speculating. But it was likely they didn't know anything about this Mirage phenomenon yet. Zane glanced down at the ring attached to his finger, and the blue and yellow center shined back at him steadily. "Still doing fine. Mom put enough love into these flowers that it should be fine... but I should stay out of sight if I can." Better to not let the Turks know anything about his existence yet. He still barely understood everything himself, and he didn't want to mess anything up for his parents, or his friends. But he needed to make sure no one else was in the house, so he crept away from the window, ascending the stairs quietly to check and make sure. (( OOC: ))

     "Lovely.." It must have been something that guided here to this location, of all the places in this incredibly massive city, after her ..not so gentle leave, she found herself here. She doubted the people of ShinRa and their soldiers would ever try to find HER again after taking many of them down. Her suspicions were exactly as she fought from the moment they crossed paths back at the Tear. Still, it was worth the risk, knowing Kiana was not being held there. Once they made their intentions for her known, she acted quickly and brought them down.After her leave of the ShinRa building, was when she hurried off into the city.
Of all the run down area's, she was very surprised to see such a beautiful home, and so many beautiful flourishing flowers! Anyone who lived in a place like this....had to be kind, and maybe most importantly, helpful. She needed some information, not just of Kiana's whereabouts, as if they knew, but of where exactly she was. There was a lot to adapt to, she had to think of how she would even survive in this world, and for one to survive, they needed some kind of currency. Just what was theirs? She began to slowly make her way over the bridge, taking in the sights as she crossed it on her way to the lovely little home ahead....

Yunaka "...What?! Why is there a house this way?!" Clearly, Raiden Mei was not the only person drawn here, but the girl who showed up moments after she did was a little more panicked. "You! Is this your house? Can you--ugh, crap!" She turned around as footsteps approached, taking several steps backwards.
"You can't escape us forever, hot little thing!" A group of 3 men came to a stop, having apparently been chasing this girl. "Sorry to say, I know the Don's type, and you're exactly it! I'm getting promoted for this, heh. And you'll get to be the new Don's wife! You should be thrilled!"
"...Ahahaha..." Yunaka took a step back. "Listen, fellas, I'm flattered, but I'm a spoken for gal I'm afraid, haha..." She said, lifting her hand to show her precious Pact Ring on her finger. "I'm sure this Don guy's great, but, y'know, 'til death do us part and all!"
"Your husband'll BE dead if you keep trying to weasel your way out of this!"
"...Wife, actually." Yunaka corrected with a sigh.
"Well, you... oh! What have we here?" The men's eyes fell upon the other beautiful woman standing here.
"Damn, she might be even hotter!"
"Hey, I saw her first. I'm getting that promotion when I bring her back!"
"Fat chance, a*****e. The smaller one's still more his type. Lively and thick in all the right places, heheh... That other b***h looks too stoic to turn him on."
"..." Yunaka's hand slid slowly behind her, and only Mei might notice that a knife was subtly slipped out into her hand, and held behind her, while her other hand went to her face. "Listen, boys... you guys are obviously too strong for a couple of girls like us to handle, so how's about you just let us off easy, huh? We'd be REAL grateful... if you catch my drift, heh."
"Ohh... that so? Heheh, maybe, y'know, the Don can find another wife..."
"Yeahhh, plenty of girls in Midgar after all!"
"I think we can all leave this between us, for the right persuasion."
"Ohh, you boys are as reasonable as you are strong, and handsome..."
"Heheh! We are pretty great! How's about you show us how much you like us?"
"Glad to~!" Gripping her knife tightly, she finally pulled it out with a deft hand, hurling it into one of the men's throat before any of them could react. In the next second, she was in front of him ripping the blade out through the side of his neck and slashing through another's neck, before stabbing it into the last man's shoulder, causing him to scream and fall to one knee. "...You're dead." She said coldly down to him.
"N-no, wait...! I... I'll tell them you left Midgar! Please...!"
"..." She gripped her knife, ripping it out of his shoulder and causing him to scream again. "Run." She told him severely, and he immediately turned and hobbled away as fast as his feet could carry him.
"..." Yunaka sighed heavily, wiping the blood off her knife. "How do I get myself into these messes..." She muttered to herself, turning towards the girl who just... saw all that. "I really didn't want to do that... but when they started threatening you, and my girlfriend, well..." She sighed. "I'll clean this up, just... can you keep this to yourself? Please? I'm really trying not to let... my past catch up with me." She always tried to keep a tight lid on her past, yet it always seemed to follow her wherever she went. It somehow ended up one of the worst kept secrets no matter what she tried. (( OOC: ))

Almost to the house, Mei would be forced to stop suddenly at the sound of rushed footsteps, followed by the panicked woman that would catch her attention. She was clearly in some kind of distress! "What is wrong? Just try to calm down. If I can help you, Please tell me what you need. " Although she wouldn't even need an answer, as that answer came in the group of three men. Assessing the situation rather quickly, Mei's eyes locked onto the three that clearly were stalking the poor woman! "I see..this..I can help with." She sighed, what was wrong with this city? In the time she had been here so far, nothing was exactly..peaceful, no where but this little house. At least until now!
Taking a step forward, those fearless, narrowed eyes could certainly send some running the other way, had they actually seen her, though their attention was clearly on the red-headed woman there. Clearly, she was ready to defend her if it came to her help needed. It wasn't until their small brains finally caught on to other one standing there, not far from the one they were chasing. "Hmph.I find this amusing. Do you know how out numbered you are, little boys? Are you certain you want to cross us? " Considering there was three of the men there, and only two of them, it may of caught them off guard with confusion. The fact that she didnt know the other woman here at all, meant she wasn't including her in that count. Men like that were no trouble for her to put down quickly, all by herself. Little did she know, the woman next to her had her own little secrets, as she noticed the knife she so subtly slipped out into her hand. Her entire form told her she wasn't as helpless as she looked there for a second. Yes, those men were REALLY outnumbered. Terribly.
They had failed to take the woman's warning, and doing so
resulted in quite the display of skills that would even surprise Mei.She was fast! Though she didn't want to see anyone die, there was little she could do in this case. There was nothing stopping them from going after the woman again another time, with more friends. By everything she heard, taking their lives before they took others was sadly the only option. Forcing woman to be some sort of slave to another man, goodness knows what could have happened, and how many others had fell victim to these exact three men.
"Is that a wise idea? ..Letting him go, I mean. I have not seen any good in this city since I arrived. I fear he may come looking for you again at a later time once he has recovered.." She shook her head softly. "I understand why you did it. I won't mention this to anyone.." They all had their reasons, didn't they. The look on her face as she spoke told her enough. She wouldn't ask about the obviously troubling past she had, but it certainly reminded her of past events, while Kiana was always so happy on the outside, there would always be that lingering guilt she likely still lived with today, a past she wanted to pretend never happened. She saw that when she looked into this woman's eyes. "I can help you with this.."
