Chapter 1 - The Shinra Mansion

I do NOT own the plot line for this fanfic, nor do I own any of the characters except Sun Strife. [note: her last name's not Strife anymore after this story]

Prelude:

My name is Sun Strife in this story, daughter of Ifalna, forgotten sister of Aeris, and adopted sister of Cloud. This is my story, as is any other story I post on this website (2+, actually). Read on, and discover what the video game makers left out.

Chapter One: The Shinra Mansion

I led the way through the basement tunnel, the flame on my black-furred forehead lighting the way for Cloud and Tifa. I stopped in front of a locked door, my black cat form dissolving as I transformed back human. There was something about this door... I put my ear to it, but heard nothing.
"What is it, Sun?" Tifa asked.
"I don't know."
"You usually know these things," Cloud mumbled.
"Yeah, well, this time I don't," I snapped. "This time, there's something keeping me out..."
"Oh, screw this," Tifa said. "If we have to get Sun's opinion before we do anything, we'll get nowhere. Let's just open the door and get it over with."
"Glad someone pointed that out," I said. "You guys pester me too much."
Tifa already had the door open, using the key we'd found upstairs, so Cloud and I followed her into the strange, coffin-filled room.
There was a man in the corner. He kept his face hidden beneath a red cape and long black hair. Just stood there, watching us. Cloud and Tifa didn't notice him at first, but he was the first thing I saw. He didn't look very happy, so I approached him.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Get away from me." He spoke so suddenly I flinched. He looked down at me through deep scarlet eyes. "You shouldn't be here. Rejoin your mother."
"Wha-"
"Who're you?" Cloud interrupted. I glared at him.
"All of you, leave. This place is only the beginning of a nightmare."
"You can say that again," Cloud growled. He told the man his story, and the stranger was interested in the part with Sephiroth. But when my "brother" had finished, the man didn't tell us anything. He only asked, "Will you meet Hojo at all?"
Cloud nodded. "We're mostly after Sephiroth, but that scientist is another revenue."
"Good." He glanced at me, so swiftly I wasn't sure if I'd seen it. "My name's Vincent. I'll come with you."
Cloud raised an eyebrow at me. "I know what you're about to ask," I said, "and I don't detect a problem with it."
"Welcome aboard, Vincent," Tifa said.
