****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Tifa lead the four men later to the apartment building, fully intending to tell the group about the figure who had been watching her. With Naruto's nightmare about the kidnapping and Aeris being taken, they couldn't be too careful the closer to the birth they got. Someone watching and following her could mean bad news for them and the fact she SWORE she still felt eyes on her made it worse.
However unlike last night when she had seen the mystery figure, these eyes made her skin crawl instead of just making her think whoever it was was more curious than anything. Was it because she now knew he was there? Or was it something altogether different?
She entered first after unlocking the front door, making sure to relock it behind the last man, Genma, and take advantage of the one-way glass to breifly search for anyone suspicious outside.
Nothing.
Sighing internally she turned and was about to lead them to the elevator when a breif flash of red and black on the rooftop directly across the street caught the corner of her eye.
Spinning back she tried to catch sight of it again but it was gone. "What is it?" the man, Raidõ asked.
"Someone's been watching me. I just saw something on the roof across the street."
"You mean that guy in black and red who followed us from your place?" Genma asked casually, the thin senbon needle he had casually in his mouth moving from the left to right side corner.
All eyes turned to him "you SAW it and didn't tell us!"
He shrugged "I didn't know if he was enemy or allie. I didn't want to point him out if he was some sort of guard."
"No he's not and if you see him again, feel free to pound him into the street or whatever." She frowned "the thing was it's not the same as the one I saw earlier this morning."
"How so?" Raidõ asked as they moved to the elevator and entered.
"The one I saw this morning was wearing white and had blonde hair. This one is red and black."
The males exchanged looks "they could be working for the same client, only doing different shifts."
"I don't think so" Tifa said "The first guy didn't alert or alarm me, he just felt.....curious. THIS one feels like a threat, he sets my instinct to fight or defend myself off. I want to get hold of him and..." she stopped, took a deep breath and continued "it's like the second guy feels like a threat while the first is someone watching over me-like an allie."
They understood and Tifa looked thoughtful "I'll have to see Vincent and the others, see if they've seen either of them and if not as a TURK Vincent may notice and be able to get him."
"Vincent?"
"Myself" and a figure in red and black faded out of the shadows of the hallway ahead of them.
When the four tensed to attack, Tifa spoke quickly to them "it's alright, he's one of us, and allie and member of AVALANCHE!" when the men slowly relaxed she grinned at the demon vessel but spoke again to them "he has a habit of doing that, don't let it disturb you. You can trust him like you trust Naruto, he IS his family."
"What do you mean?"
"I told you about Chaos, the ten-tailed's source. Vincent contains him, that means Chaos is Kyuubi's father and since Naruto merged with her and Vincent merging with him, it makes Vincent his father. So unless you threaten Naruto....."
She spoke this time to the crimson gunman "someone has been following me Vincent, well, two someone's. I thought we better do something about it with the threat to Naruto. One of them may be the threat to Naruto and Aeris, or even working for them" she described what she had seen of both and what she was feeling from them.
The gunman nodded and faded back into the shadows.
Tifa turned to the men "if either men left a single trace of themselves behind, Vincent will find it."
Raidõ frowned "how skilled is he?"
"He's the most skilled of all of us, not just because he's the eldest and therefore most experienced. It is how he was trained. I'd say the TURKS are trained more like you ninja's."
"How so?"
Well SOLDIERS like Zack and Cloud are more like bruisers, trained for direct combat. They are essentially pointed towards an enemy and told 'go fight and kill them'. They have other skills but they are not a lot compared to the emphasis on just being the strongest fighters, hence the need for mako enhancements.
TURKS on the other hand....." she motioned at the shadows where Vincent appeared and disappeared "are the shadow force of Shinra. They deal with all things behind the scenes. They deal with tracking, investigation, stealth and even stealing. TURKS are anything from bodyguards to assassins. They are skilled at hand-to-hand combat or killing from a distance. While they ARE enhanced by mako like SOLDIERS, it isn't as much and only to enhance skills they already have and to make them more resistant to injury or exhaustion. They are skilled with Materia and mana-what you call chakra-use and are dedicated to protection of the Shinra family. Vincent is an ex-TURK and doesn't work for Shinra anymore, but that's because they allowed him to be used as an experiment and drove the woman he loved and his son mad."
She explained about Luecretcia and Sephiroth, then Hojo killing him and forcing the woman to marry him. Then the young scientist trapping Chaos inside Vincent in a desperate attempt to keep him alive.
All four men nodded in understanding.
They reached the top floor area deemed an make-shift hospital to the group and Tifa knocked on the door "lady Tsunade?" she didn't want to walk in, just in case she was experimenting with the herb.
The door was answered by Jiriaya. Both the men and the toad sage's eyes widened at the sight of each other and Jiriaya flung open the door to allow them entrance with a cry to Tifa of "where did you find them!"
Tifa grinned "I didn't, they found me" and explained what had happened as they followed him inside.
"I'm glad you are here" Jiriaya told the men "we may no longer be in the Five Nations, but there is still danger out there and Tsunade seems to think she no longer needs guards, especially at this meeting with these guys. Perhaps you can persuade her that as our leader she is still a target."
The four men nodded and moved off to do so, Jiriaya stopping her from following. "What is it?" she asked, seeing the look on his face.
"You're two SOLDIER friends are here. Apparently it somehow got back to one of them that the Kazekage's sister spoke to his sensei and he's been bugging her ever since. It's starting to piss off her brothers and if he doesn't back off very soon, the red heads gonna flip. We don't need our only home here being blown to bits because someone ticked the Kazekage off."
Tifa frowned "isn't Cloud doing anything about it?"
"He's tried but he's ignoring even him. He said as soon as you arrive to see if you can do anything."
Tifa sighed "I don't know what he thinks I can do, he's CLOUD'S lover, but I'll try."
She followed the Sage furtherer into the room, past the men arguing with their leader, to where Temari was being helped to walk around the room by her oldest younger brother and Gaara stood glaring at an persistent Zack while Cloud protested his lovers annoyance loudly, trying to pull him away from the room and leave.
Tifa frowned at this pitcure. She knew how stubborn Zack could be when he set his mind to it, but the fact that someone like him who spent the entire time she had known him desperate to be liked by every person he met was IGNORING both Gaara and his own lover in face of finding out about his dead teachers spirit, showed how helpless and emotional he was.
Tifa understood his feelings, but he was going about it the wrong way, pissing off the wrong people. She had to stop him.
So stepping forward and in her best 'stern mother' voice she snapped his name. He reacted instantly, spinning around and stuttering her name. Tifa put her hands on her hips and continued firmly "what do you think you're doing!?"
When the ex-SOLDIER opened his mouth to protest, she interrupted him sternly "you're causing trouble" she motioned at Gaara, then said softer "I understand you're feelings Zack, but you're going about it the wrong way."
"I told him I'd talk to him about it" Temari spoke out "but the others...." Tifa understood, her younger brothers had refused, overprotective of their weakened sister.
Before any other talk or protest could happen the entire building shook with an explosion. Tifa and Cloud exchanged looks, The blonde saying "Vincent" and Tifa nodded.
Without another word the three AVALANCHE members took off to the roof in aid of a fellow member. They didn't even stop or pause to see what the ninja's were doing.

Once on the roof Zack took Cloud's hands, spun him around to pick up speed and then flung him at the building where they could see plumes of smoke rising from the roof as well as the tell-tale signs of Iffirit having been summoned.
Without missing a beat Zack had flung Tifa as well who was caught by Cloud who clung the the side of the building like a spider just under the ledge.
A quick glance down told Tifa some of the ninja were catching up, jumping from one window ledge to the other below them, making their way up after them.
Kicking off from the wall Tifa flipped around to land directly on the roof safely while Cloud caught Zack from his runjump over the edge to him.
It took seconds for the two ex-SOLDIERS to catch up to her on the roof, a flood of ninja's appearing from all four sides seconds behind, each with various type weapons.
Vincent stood in the center of the roof, surrounded by smoke and rubble, eyes glowing and by the tension in his body Tifa could tell he was close to a limit break.
Across from him, slumped and curled in on itself was an figure wearing dirty white, bloody clumps of blonde hair framing the vaguely familiar face and head, glowing blue eyes so like Cloud's behind broken glasses.
From one shoulder, hanging limply around him was an LONG white single WING.
The figure from the alley, the same one Tifa had felt nothing but curiousity from!
She was about to speak when Zack did, seeing Vincent raise his fire materia to finish the figure off he cried loudly "NO! DON'T HURT HIM! HE'S NOT AN ENEMY!" and ran forward. At the same second Tifa kicked Vincent's arm into the air to make the attack go wild, Zack grabbed the winged man, wrapped himself protectively around his body and rolled him out of the way.
"VINCENT!" Tifa snapped in his face, "calm down! He's not an enemy! Remember, I said the blonde in white was just watching! It was the black and red one that was a threat!"
"He attacked me first" he said thickly, Chaos strong in his voice.
"He has mako sickness!" Zack defended, his body protectively between the two "maybe even worse then Temari! He probably thought YOU were attacking HIM!"
Tifa saw Itachi suddenly disappear in a swirl of leaves, only to reappear with Naruto.
Naruto took one look at the situation and approached Vincent, talking softly and soothingly. This let Tifa, Itachi, Tsunade and Cloud to approach Zack, who was fussing over the man who lay still and limp in his spot.
"Is he alright?" Tifa asked.
"Thank god. He's in the final stages."
Who IS he, Zack?"
Zack moved aside slightly "recognize him, Cloud?" The other ex-SOLDIER moved closer to look "he's familiar...."
"Think Shinra before all that shit went down. Board member." Cloud's blue eyes with green flecks searched the man's face critically before realization hit him and they widened nearly all the way, looking at his partner "but he was dead! Isn't that what you told me?!"
Zack nodded solemnly "he was supposed to, I saw him die, but he's here now. I can't explain it. Maybe the lifestream brought him back to help us. After all, no one knew the Devil's Trio quiet like him. He knew them a lot longer than me and could probably help us get through to Sephiroth."
"Who is he?" Tifa asked curiously but the two were going on while Tsunade tried to heal the man. "But wait! What about that romour about his relationship to Rufus, and the things Tseng confirmed to you?! And him betraying Shinra to Genesis in order to bring it down!"
Zack shook his head "knowing who he is to Shinra Senior, can you blame him for trying to bring them down? It's what AVALANCHE did at one point, remember? And if it wasn't for him, none of us would be here today anyway."
Everyone froze, even the ninja. "What do you mean?"
"It was because of him that Cloud and I escaped Hojo. It was because of him I had the strength to free myself and then Cloud. He injected himself with Angeal's cells and used his image to jerk me out and encourage me to break free. If we hadn't of escaped then Cloud wouldn't have woke Vincent, been around to stop Sephiroth both times and meteor would have fallen, this world would be either destroyed or Jenovah's little plaything."
They knew he was right, he may not know it or have been intending it, but the man was indirectly responsible for saving all life on the planet. Any sins he may have had by betraying Shinra was lost by that one massive good dead.
Zack was going on "he said just before he died that he had taken on Angeal's desire to help me, to be an hero. He has his own life back now, but he might feel the same." He looked at Tsunade "his legal and battle knowledge could help you guys. He knows all about how Sephiroth thinks and his smarts would help you guys legally. He knows how this world works, he could help you there, protect you there. All he'd need was a place to live and stay. He would be able to help you with anything that went wrong with your alliance with Shinra."
Tsunade nodded as she sat back "he is healed and will be conscious soon" she motioned to Kakashi and Itachi who picked the man up between them and disappeared with him in a swirl of leaves, promoting Tifa to look around, seeing they were alone now.
As they moved to the stairwell leading down from the roof, Cloud pulled out his PHS to call Reeve about the roof's repair and the return of the man. While he did, Tsunade spoke to Zack "who IS this man and what was this confirmed romour about his relationship with Rufus Shinra?"
"His name is Lazard Deusericus and he was the ex-director of SOLDIER, that's how he knew the Devil's Trio and later me." At Tsunade's look Tifa explained "an director is like the head of an department inside an company. Think of it like an council with each member in charge of a certain section of a company, Soldier, weapons, science, etc. That sought of thing. He was in charge of SOLDIER."
Tsunade nodded and Zack went on "when I joined there was a romour going around that Lazard was somehow related to Shinra Senior, but it was unconfirmed. Anyone heard speaking it was punished and if asked directly, he would just give you this really nasty stare. He seemed to hate Shinra, obviously he was working inside to bring it down."
"Was the romour correct?"
Zack nodded "I asked Tseng when he was hiding me from the company. He said apparently Shinra Senior liked to 'seed his wild oats', he slept with any woman he could get his hands on" he looked at Cloud "even Scarlet at one point" the blonde, finished with his call, shuddered "I wouldn't be surprised if there were like other little blonde illegitimate Shinra's running around somewhere, probably with parents paid off." He took a deep breath and went on "annnyyywwwaaayyy. It turned out just before Rufus was born an young woman in the slums was one of his conquests, only she got pregnant to him. Later on she got sick so Lazard went to Shinra for money for medicine and he refused. After she died Lazard returned, with his grudge against his father well hidden and to keep him quiet about his origin, the fat bastard gave him a job."
"Sounds about right for Shinra at the time" Tifa scoffed "so he wanted to bring Shinra down as revenge for not saving his mother?"
Zack nodded "partly, I think the other part was jealousy for Rufus becoming the acknowledged heir when he was older."
"So this guy is Rufus Shinra's half brother" Tsunade said and Zack nodded.
"Did Rufus ever find out he was his older brother?" Tifa asked.
"Not until after meteor fall apparently, it was kept quiet and Lazard wasn't allowed to tell ANYONE" Zack said "after the fall of the Shinra tower he was taken somewhere else to heal, Tseng never told me where. There he went through his father's records and found both the birth certificate with the father's name on it and the contract of his appointment as director in exchange for his silence. Don't get me wrong, he more than earned the position, he was definitely skilled, but the higher position so early in his life," he shook his head "never heard of."
They entered the groups apartment building "how do you think Rufus will react to the man he never knew as brother's return? Any idea?"
"I don't know" Tifa said "but for now, while he's recovering, I suggest keeping it from him. If Rufus acts angrily, Lazard is in no state to explain, let alone defend himself."
"Agreed" Tsunade nodded.
Kakashi appeared next to them "Shizune cleaned and patched him up, then Naruto INSISTED that he be put in their apartment." Translation-he was put in their apartment despite Sasuke's protests or arguments.
Sure enough they found both young men standing outside the closed door, Naruto insisting the man was 'no threat' while Sasuke argued with "he attacked father, you think that's no threat!?"
"No" this came from Vincent as they approached, stepping out of the shadows "I only PERCEIVED him as a threat. Tifa mentioned she was being followed, your dream, I was being overprotective, Chaos egging me on and the fact I hadn't had an limit-break for a while now and he matched Tifa's description, when he lunged I assumed it was an attack. His back was to the wall, he could have just been trying to get passed me to escape."
"Limit break?"
Tifa explained "in battle when emotions run high, it can be used to boost your power and abilities. I'd say both Vincent and Chaos have been definitely high in emotion for the last few months. Those emotions on and off the field built up and almost broke when he thought the other threatened you."
"Oh" Naruto said, Sasuke speaking out "and that's why he should be put under guard, Naruto. I'm not risking you or Aeris."
Naruto opened his mouth to speak, but Zack interrupted "he won't hurt him!" Sasuke glared at him "how would YOU know?"
"I know him, he was my b......he's my friend!" Sasuke frowned suspiciously at Zack's change of words "what were you going to say?"
Tifa spoke out, looking at Naruto "his name is Lazard Deuserius and he's Rufus' older brother."
Naruto looked excited, clapping his hands together, face breaking out in an huge grin "Ru's big brother!"
Sasuke frowned suspiciously at her "if that's true not only would HE be the heir, not Rufus, but if he was sick he wouldn't be out running around, they'd have him in hospital somewhere, safe and cared for."
"Not if he was illegitimate and only HALF and Rufus doesn't know he's alive, thinks he's dead like everyone else."
As they moved inside the apartment, Naruto leading them to an figure curled up on the couch, Naruto frowned "Dead? How?"
Zack told them what had happened, the man's history and how he had died, adding how his actions that day had actually saved not just Zack and Cloud, but countless other lives as well the very life of the planet.
"Rufus doesn't know he's back, Naruto, and we can't tell until he's fully healed and able to make that decision for himself."
"Why?" the pregnant blonde frowned in confusion "I would think Rufus would be overjoyed his brother's back."
Zack spoke "Rufus grew up around his brother, without knowing who or what he was to him. Lazard wasn't allowed to tell him the truth and when Rufus was appointed the heir and CEO, Lazard was jealous. He betrayed Shinra and so in Rufus's eyes betrayed HIM. Then he disappears as if dead, leaving Rufus to find out the truth too late. Even though he KNOWS Lazard couldn't tell him, he still feels betrayed even more by him.
If Rufus was to find out Lazard was alive and didn't come to him for help, he'd feel both hurt and betrayed that Lazard didn't come to him and angry by it."
Tifa spoke "it would be similar to the anger Sasuke had for Itachi when HE learned the truth of their clan. You know, 'why didn't he tell me?', 'Why didn't he take me with him, if I knew the truth I would have gone with him!?', 'didn't he trust me?', 'he didn't have to do it alone', 'if we were together we could have done things differently', that sort of thing."
Naruto looked at Sasuke who nodded wordlessly. So he nodded to them "I won't tell Ru', but you'll have to tell SOMEONE, dad made an awful mess next door."
"We'll tell Reeve" Tifa said, "he knew Lazard as an fellow board member and he needs to know what's going on."
"And Tseng" Zack added "he can ensure that Rufus doesn't find out. Since all information goes through Tseng as the head of the TURKS first, he needs to know so he can anticipate anything and get rid of it, or at least delay it. Once Lazard is better and knows if he wants to deal with his brother or not, Tseng can make it seem like it's information he only just got."
This they understood and while Cloud moved off to call both men and ask them to come around ASAP, they approached the figure on the couch.
Curled slightly on himself and freshly washed, the man lay between a couple of layers of blankets, his head with the damp hair padded by a folded towel while another peaked out from against his side, under the wing whose bright white feathers were also damp.
His face in sleep was peaceful and gentle, like an large child. Only every now and then it would screw up, like in an nightmare or maybe pain, Tifa couldn't tell.

Reeve was the first to arrive about an hour later. He had been next door supervising the repair work when Cloud had called the second time and this was his first opportunity to get free and arrive.
Tifa blinked in surprise when the minute he did she saw an unconscious reaction to him from one of the female ninja.
Could she......did Shizune have an crush on Reeve? No, the more she watched the more she realized their attraction was mutual. She had never seen Reeve so interested in any one woman before and Shizune seemed flattered by his attention on her and Tifa realized as Tsunade's assistant and student, people probably just looked over her for her mistress or thought she was plain.
But after arriving and being asked to wait for Tseng to also arrive, after an brief chat to the healer and blonde Hokage the blue-clothed man approached her assistant and spent the rest of the time waiting chatting with her, and Shizune seemed extremely pleased and flattered.
"They are interested in each other" Itachi came to her side and reached out cautiously for her hand, Tifa smiling a welcome and letting him take it, even squeezing it to show her approval.
"They are more than just interested" she didn't look away "watch their behavior closely, they are both flirting. See how she touches his arm when he's talking and let's it linger? How she leans slightly closer when he talks to her? How his eyes never leave her face even when she's not talking? How his hand is close to hers, but she's not moving hers away."
"She is inviting him to take her hand" Itachi guessed "he wants to. If she was refusing, she would draw it away."
"Exactly" Tifa beamed, he was learning fast.
"Tsunade" Itachi said softly and Tifa frowned at him "What do you mean by Tsunade?"
"It is the only reason they haven't gone any further, why she is not taking his hand yet. Look." He nodded slightly in the female Hokage's direction.
Tifa looked and saw what he meant. The woman was also watching the two, her eyes one step away from striding forward and tearing them apart and Tifa had no doubt the minute the two touched hands, she would.
"Come on" Tifa pulled Itachi with her as she approached the woman. She had to stop her before the woman did something she would soon regret. In many ways the blonde woman was like Naruto, often acting on feelings instead of thinking and, for an society oriented around being in control and unemotional, Tifa found these ninja's surprisingly emotion filled.
"Stop" she said when she was close enough "if you do what you're thinking, you'll loose her." The blonde turned angry eyes on her "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yes you do" Tifa contridicted "you don't like the idea of Shizune finding someone. You may want to think you see her as an younger sister, or daughter, but the fact of the matter is you've become the center of her world and are used to her attention on you nearly constantly. You've become dependant on her and see her as yours, YOUR property. Now she is looking at another you're jealous."
When the woman's glare became furious, Tifa felt Itachi next to her twitch, wether in fear of her wraith or trying to repress the urge to sheild her, she didn't know, she was going on.
"But now she's interested in another you feel threatened. You're no longer the center of her world. Another is entering that space. But if you try to interfere you will loose her."
"What do you mean?" the woman's eyes narrowed on her, but the fury seemed banked.
"It will either go one of three ways. First she will become depressed, feeling like she has no rights outside what you allow her, that her entire existence is what YOU let her. She will become distant to EVERYONE, even you. Essentially she will think herself your slave-just like Neji thought he was."
The woman shook her head and opened her mouth to deny this but Tifa added quickly "it doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's how she feels."
The mouth shut again and Tifa went on "two is she'll begin to resent or even hate you, thinking she's your slave and just like Neji. Do you want to turn her into him and all his hate hers?" The blonde shook her head, horrified by the thought.
"Or three, she'll accept it, but from then on she'll NEVER try again for any sort of relationship. She would only marry if and WHO you approve, but she'll never get emotionally involved. It would be an loveless marriage she never feels anything for."
This seemed to alarm her even more "but...how do I know I can trust him not to hurt her?"
"If it was anyone else I would say talk to them, get to know them. I'll say the same here, except I'll also add that I know Reeve, I've known him even before he started the WRO. He's the sort of man who would NEVER use a woman for self-gradification, he would never use one and if he's not sure she has any interest in him for him, he doesn't try. This is the first time I've seen him interested in anyone. Reeve is an gentle quiet man who would give his whole heart in someone. He'll treat Shizune like an woman, not some weapon or SOLDIER and he'll respect her in more ways than one. It's the same as his members, he knows every one of them by name and treats them like his family, not employees and if anything happens-like dying in battle-feels guilty and even contacts their family in person. It's why so many people respect and admire him, he treats you like you, not an nameless faceless number. Just look at him with her."
The Hokage watched them for about a minute or so before closing her eyes and sighing heavilly "I suppose you're right. I'll try and control myself and let them go. I have a lot about myself I have to face."
"Maybe you should concentrate on your own relationship" Tifa suggested. The woman's eyes snapped open and looked at her sharply "what do you mean?"
"You knew what I mean" When the woman glared at her she met it without blinking or looking away. Finally her mouth opened "that pervert...."
Tifa interrupted "tell me, in the time you've been here has he once..." when she went to open her mouth, Tifa quickly added "...since you found out about your home being destroyed has he?"
The woman's mouth opened, closed, opened again but nothing came out and she looked thoughtful "no, he hasn't."
"In fact" Tifa said to her "he's been surprisingly protective and attentive, hasn't he." Again the opening and closing mouth followed by an nod. "He's realized this place is the chance to be the true man he is, not that mask he wears."
"Mask?" she looked confused and Tifa looked at her in surprise "you don't know, do you!"
"Know what?!" the woman looked frustrated. "When did the pervert act start?"
"ACT?" she said the word like she thought she was kidding, like she truly believed it was how the other Sanin was in reality. Tifa sighed but Itachi spoke one word "Orochimaru."
The female Sanin's eyes narrowed on him dangerously "What?"
Tifa quickly spoke before she could blame Itachi for her mistake "did it ever occur to you that YOU weren't the only one hurt by him? That YOU weren't the only one betrayed by you're teamates actions? That when you left the village you not only hurt him more, but caused further damage? That by distancing yourself from not only the only other person who felt exactly how you felt and leaving him to his own trauma without your presence for comfort, you were teaching him that nobody cared for him, that he has to guard himself to prevent ever being hurt again. And who wants to get close to an pervert."
Tsunade looked horrified. Tifa went on "he hasn't done it here because there is only your group, people he knows, trusts, or knows he can trust. This would be the perfect time to repair it, to repair the damage and get to know the REAL Jiriaya, not the mask."
You're right" she looked deeply thoughtful. Tifa added "hold your temper with him, if he thinks you're getting too close to him, he will try to push you away, probably with whatever behavior he uses to tick you off with him normally. If you get ticked off, he wins, so watch him, REALLY watch him."
The blonde woman nodded and left, her face deep with thought and concentration.
Itachi squeezed her hand and when she looked at him he looked at the new couple. Tifa smiled and put her head on his shoulder as she watched them lean closer and Shizune finally take his hand in hers.
