CAIT

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Reeve ran a hand through his hair and leaned back in his chair.  He had been spending too much time behind his desk now, even if the desk was in the middle of a research camp.  He was trying to clean up yet another one of Hojo's secret laboratories.

He felt trapped by the obligations of the WRO that he was in charge of.

~what Shin-Ra could have been, if it hadn't been so corrupt~

He needed to go for a walk.  He needed to get out of his stuffy tent and clear his head.  He looked around for Cait.  Cait always enjoyed sitting on his shoulder when they went for walks.  It was quite odd to see the Moogle robot that it usually rode on sitting silently in the corner.

He didn't have much time to contemplate it before someone was yelling for him.

"Reeve!"

He turned to see a very angry Cid glaring at him.  What startled Reeve was the fact that he had Cait attached to his shoulder.  Its teeth embedded firmly in the Chief's and one of Cait's small white gloved hands was pulling in his hair.

"What…?" he began, but didn't get another word out.

"Did ya lend Yuffie Cait?"

"What?  No.  I would never do such a thing," he said and approached Cait.  "What are you doing?"

Cait released its teeth from Cid's shoulder and Reeve quickly grabbed it from him or else he had a feeling that Cait would have gotten thrown across the tent.

"What has come over you, Cait?" Reeve said as he held the cat in his arms.  Cid looked like he was ready to crush it.  He rubbed the bleeding bite marks on his neck.

His tent flap opened again and Vincent walked in holding Yuffie by the scruff of her neck, kicking and screaming.  Vincent seemed unperturbed by the flailing ninja.  "I believe this is the source of the problem." He threw the woman to the ground.

"What ja do, ya pest?" Cid growled at the girl.  Cait curled in Reeve's arms and buried its face into his chest with a whimper.

Vincent stood straight and used his intimidating red eyes to glare at him.  "I believe that she was using Cait to guard the tent, specifically mine.  She somehow convinced that thing of yours to ambush anyone that came near my domicile."

Cait turned its head and mewled out an apology.

Reeve looked down at the woman on the ground.  "What did you do to Cait?"

She smiled up at him and said, "Just wanted to make sure that Vincent wasn't bothered while he slept."

"Fuckin' bullshit.  Ya taught that thing to attack me!" Cid yelled.  Vincent put his clawed hand on Cid's shoulder.

"I would recommend that you keep a more watchful eye on Cait and keep it from the influences of Yuffie in the future," Vincent said.  "We shall now retire for the evening.  Cait, you will not guard my tent any further, or you will no longer exist."

Cait shivered in his arms and seemed to want to hide in his coat.  Cid left with a smug look on his face as he allowed Vincent to lead him out.

"She was convincin'," Cait murmured.  "I thought Vincent needed protectin'."

"Well he does from that lecher Cid.  He is why Vincent won't return my calls," Yuffie defended as she stood up, brushing off the dust from her clothing.

Reeve blinked slowly as the ninja bounded out calling for Vincent.

"I'll stay away from her.  She's wacky," Cait said.

"I believe if this keeps up, Vincent will take care of her for us."
