Title:  FB - Intruder
Author: Enide Dear
Pairing: Valenwind, Renaj, Lozoo
Rating: slightly insane
Summary: I've always pictured the Remnants as very territorial



They had been under surveillance for some time now.  Kadaj knew it, had seen the tracks, the tell-tale signs, felt the *presence* of an intruder around the house. He'd tried to tell the others, repeatedly, but Loz and Yazoo were too occupied with their new past time of screwing each other's brains out, and their foster parents didn't seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation.

"Don't be ridiculous," Cid had snorted over his tea. "Ain't no one trespassing or spying here."

"You are just being paranoid," Vincent shrugged behind his coffee.

Right. If they weren't going to believe him – which was odd, because the intruder *did* leave a lot of visible clues  - then he would handle this himself.  Even with Souba confiscated, it wasn't as if he was helpless.

The intruder came in the early morning hours before anyone was really awake, so Kadaj had sneaked out of bed, padding soundlessly on naked feet through the house and out into the misty, cold morning. He didn't mind the chill, but he didn't like being awake this early either. But to protect his family he would do *anything*. Some minor and temporary discomfort was nothing to someone who's grown up in a lab ruled by a mad scientist and then been killed by his own big brother.

He waited patiently until he heard the car driving up towards the edge of the house lot. Crouching, his every muscle ready to spring into action, he heard the intruder stop the car, the rustling sound of paper, and then a metallic sound.

Kadaj leaped forward, murderous intent in every motion.

He got a quick glance at a terrified, average looking guy in a yellow car, something written on the side of it before something grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and yanked him back. The car sped away so fast the gravel flew around it.

"You let him get away!" Writhing in the grip, Kadaj glared at Vincent who effortlessly held him up in his metal claw. "That was the intruder!"

"Kadaj…." Vincent sighed. "Will you please stop trying to kill the mailman?"
