 Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out earlyOkay so maybe this wasn’t going to be easy. Knowing Cloud this would probably be very very tough, and it was like…trying to talk to a brick wall right about now. Reno knew where this was heading, why did he even bother? At least it was an attempt, maybe a few brownie points were scored. Who knew? All he did was sigh when Cloud said something about this job being more important than lives. How was he supposed to respond to that? Yes? NO! Either way, he wasn’t going to win this one. Not by a long shot. Not that he didn't blame Cloud for being so angry, it was just that...you'd think he would've gotten over all this by now, but nope. Although, now that Reno actually thought about it, he'd be pretty pissed off too. It was reasonable for Cloud to hold such a grudge. Well, a failed attempt. Reno didn’t know how to respond now, not that he had said a word since Cloud started talking. It almost scared him to a point where if he talked, Cloud could come back with something to make him feel even worse. So keeping his mouth shut was probably the best idea right about now. The quietness in the room now was starting to eat away at him as Cloud practically stormed out of the Seventh Heaven. His eyes slowly shifted to Zack and Yuffie. “That went well…” He said in a glum yet sarcastic tone. If only there was some way Reno could prove himself, as he did with Tifa. I mean, he saved her and Seventh Heaven from a raging summon. Maybe someday there’d come a time when Cloud really did need Reno’s help, maybe then he would forgive him. There was always someday. Anything was possible, but for now, Cloud was unbreakable for an apology, and that was how it was gonna stay for now. Better luck next time. |

::...The Puppy...:: [/color][/u] Your gonna be my…Living Legacy. Zack just cringed as Cloud started talking. Somehow he had expected that...still he had hoped that everything could just be put behind them and they could all get a new start. What if the world did end? He wanted all his former people he was angry at, to be resolved. Although he hadn't really been angry at anyone come to think of it. Still things had happened and he couldn't have done anything differently. It was better not to dwell on what had happened before right? But he could still understand where Cloud was coming from. Eyes switched from Cloud to Reno and then back again. Someday he knew Cloud would accept that apology, today just wasn't the day. He wished Tifa or Aerith were here, they always seemed to be good at calming him down and helping to see the logic in things. However they had gone somewhere together today right? Shopping or something like that. Reno didn't say anything, which was probably wise, but after Cloud stopped talking silence filled the air. That was when Cloud brushed by him and out the door, still shirtless. "Cloud!" He spoke out, turning around, but hesitated when Reno muttered how well it had gone. Putting a hand on his shoulder, he half way smiled, "Hey, thanks for trying man." With that he gazed out the door after Cloud. "I've gotta go..." He said before pushing open the door and running out the door and down the sidewalk after Cloud. He had gotten a long ways in such a short time. "Cloud! Hey wait up!" He shouted after him, before running after him. Hopefully he could help, he wasn't always the greatest person at helping someone or talking about feelings of sadness. He just didn't have that touch like the two girls in their lives did. Finally catching up to him, he slowed down to the speed he was walking and was silent for a few seconds, waiting for...well he wasn't quite sure. Maybe for Cloud to say something? Which was wrong since he was the one comforting Cloud. "Hey...you ok...?" He finally ventured out, wondering what he would say. |

.:Materia Ninja:. Alright, who's been touching my Materia? Yuffie glanced over at Carrot Top silently, notcing how tenses the atmosphere was at this point. And she didn't like it. She watched silently as Zack also left the bar, running after Cloud. Well, so much for a good day. More like great, went to good, and then it just when to worse and back from there. She didn't know what was going on. Sure, all the Turks were on everyone's...well, almost everyone's, good side, but...Yuffie had noticed how Tifa seemed slightly more dismal instead of upbeat, even though the wedding continued to get closer. "Well...this just became a whole giant mess. What to do now?"Yuffie wasn't sure if she should do what Zack did and go after Cloud. Or stay here with Reno? She had to admit, she was still quite nervous around the Turks, even though she was sure...no, she knew she could take on any of them any day. She was the White Rose of Wutai after all. Oh, so many hard choices. She turned back towards Reno. "So, Carrot Top, what are you going to do now?" |

Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out early Reno just stayed kind of quiet, rubbing the back of his head wondering what exactly to do right now. Leave and risk running into Cloud again? Or wait around and risk running into Cloud again? Oh the possibilities were countless! He figured he’d wait out here for awhile then leave when the ‘coast was clear’. As Zack left, with a thanks for trying, Reno just nodded in response to show he was listening, but then his attention was caught back to Yuffie. It was just him and her in here now. Hopefully Reno didn’t bring anything valuable with him this time around, she was quite the ninja thief. With a shrug and a sigh Reno shook his head at Yuffie. “I really don’t know what I’m gonna do short stuff.” He said jokingly with a small smile. It was only fair, he got called carrot top and ginger all the time, Yuffie was short so it was something to pick on her about. Hopefully she didn’t react like Cissnei did whenever Reno called her short or ruffled her hair. Though after awhile Reno probably did deserve a few smacks or so. “Any ideas? I mean, Cloud seemed pretty pissed off, not that I don’t blame him or anything but…I just wanna make things right ya know?” Reno stressed that a lot lately, trying to get a clean slate with everyone…to start over. After a few good long minutes in seventh heaven, Reno realized neither Zack nor Cloud were coming back for awhile. Perhaps the two were just talking, which would be Reno’s time to escape and get back to ShinRa. This was a failed attempt, but it was an attempt none the less. Maybe next time Cloud would soften up, or Reno would get the chance to prove himself like he did with Tifa. But sometimes, Maybe wasn’t good enough. Reno didn’t want to go through this again, this whole thing of making him feel like dirt for all the things he had done, having everything blown up in his face and have him targeted as a bad guy when really…it was simply business. |

::...The Puppy...:: [/color][/u] Your gonna be my…Living Legacy.
Zack took a step back and raised his hands up in the air to about chest level when Cloud snapped at him. “Hey man, I guess your ok then.” He gave him a lopsided smile to go along with the sheepish look that crossed his face. He knew what Cloud must have been going through. “I uh...no Cloud, its ok, I can handle being snapped at every once in awhile, no harm done.”
Zack rubbed the back of his neck like he did when he didn’t know exactly what to say and nodded. “I understand, and you shouldn’t have to forgive him just like that. He probably didn’t expect it and neither do I. It’s a hard thing to do, and I realize its not going to be overnight. ShinRa messed our lives up considerably, and Reno knows that. We all know ShinRa isn’t filled with saints, so don’t worry about it ok?”
He gave him another smile and lightly pretended to punch him in the shoulder. “You know 90 percent of hot air escapes from your head.” He said with a smile, one of the oldest sayings in the book. He stopped his lame attempt to be funny and glanced over at him. “Hey you know something?” He was going to tell him about his weapons shop, maybe it would cheer him up. “You won’t have to put up with an intruder in your house forever, I was offered help to build a weapons shop. So you won’t have to see my sorry face EVERY moment of the day.” He said that with a smile as they walked.
Getting rid of steam was a good thing. He was trying to cheer Cloud up, hopefully he was doing alright at the job. It wasn’t exactly easy, but hey he would give it a shot. He put his hands behind his head as they strolled along, took a deep breath and smiled up into the sky. “Hey, when are we going to fix Aerith’s church up for the wedding?” He asked with a raised eyebrow. Thinking about Tifa would make him cheer up, it always did.

Cloud Strife   
Nightmares become real...
Love remains the same....
But soon everything will disappear....
All because of me....
“Hey man, I guess your ok then.” “I uh...no Cloud, its ok, I can handle being snapped at every once in awhile, no harm done.” “I understand, and you shouldn’t have to forgive him just like that. He probably didn’t expect it and neither do I. It’s a hard thing to do, and I realize its not going to be overnight. ShinRa messed our lives up considerably, and Reno knows that. We all know ShinRa isn’t filled with saints, so don’t worry about it ok?” “You know 90 percent of hot air escapes from your head.” Cloud looked at Zack with a blank expression then....“Hey you know something?” “You won’t have to put up with an intruder in your house forever, I was offered help to build a weapons shop. So you won’t have to see my sorry face EVERY moment of the day.” That surprised him.... "You're gonna leave...?" Cloud asked now with a calmed down voice. As he looked at his friend....But, he did not want Zack to leave. He liked having Zack living here. He's been great with the kids...He was sure that the kids would be very sad to see him leave. “Hey, when are we going to fix Aerith’s church up for the wedding?” Cloud stopped and leaned against the wall of the bar and sighed....The wedding.... "I..I did hire constructors to help finish remodeling the place. But I hope they finish by the dead line....." He didn't mean the wedding dead line of course in his mind he really meant the end of the world dead line. Tifa had not even set a date yet. Things sure have changed on Gaia...And Cloud was going to help with that change...Let ShinRa sit on their asses as usual and watch the change....He was going to do some thing...And starting with the church....But yes, Cloud was a bit now more calm than before when he snapped at Reno. He was glad that Zack had realized that an apology from him was hard to get out.....Cloud did not say it to just any one......He did to only his closest friend....And he said it frequently to Zack.....But Zack was his brother, so there was a reason behind that....And to Tifa....He's only said it to Repa once....and that was when they were fighting on Cocoon.....

.:Materia Ninja:. Alright, who's been touching my Materia? “I really don’t know what I’m gonna do short stuff. “Any ideas? I mean, Cloud seemed pretty pissed off, not that I don’t blame him or anything but…I just wanna make things right ya know?”The Carrot-Top Turk was asking her for ideas? Now that was new. But, to be honest, she didn't really know what to do either. She had never seen Cloud get that angry before. I mean, sure, he was sulky and dismal all the time, but he learned to get over it, especially when Tifa was around. But, that was the problem. Tifa wasn't around. And that just made things even harder for the Materia-lovin' ninja. She lifted her arms and placed them behind her head, before shrugging. "I don't know what has got Cloud's goat, besides the fact that it always seems like something is riding his back."And what she said had been the truth. She didn't have any knowledge concerning the ordeal of Cloud being a l'Cie. No one had ever really mentioned it to the ninja. Any information she had gotten recently was on status reports on how everyone was doing. She, surprisingly, didn't say anything after that, just opting for the awkward silence that always seemed to occur between the Wutai Ninja and Shinra Turk after they didn't know what to say. But, the silence was soon broken with the sound of marching feet and loud army commands. "What the-? What's going on outside?"Before, Yuffie could even react, however, PSICOM soldiers kicked down the Seventh Heaven's doors, and guns were pointed at the two. Yuffie grabbed the Four-point Shuriken that was still hanging on her back, and got into a pose, ready for a nice, little fight that would help her blow off some steam after all that had just happened. "Who the hell are these guys? And who do they think they are going up against the Single White Rose of Wutai?" |

Second in CommandLooks like today we're clockin' out early What was Reno thinking? Coming here of all places? He should’ve known better. Oh well, that was done and over with and at least he survived to tell the tale…of how Cloud hates his guts and he resorted to asking…Yuffie for advice. Wow that was a little weird now wasn’t it? Why would he ask the ninja thief of all people for advice? Well because she was the only one here now…oh well, maybe she had some sort of idea. So with a raised eyebrow Reno listened to her speak. “Cloud always has something going on….not that I blame him for hating me right now…but It’d be nice to find some way to correct all the mistakes I’ve made towards him.” He said with a shrug before putting his hands in his pockets and sighing a bit. Even for Cloud….he seemed a bit on edge lately. As silence filled the room Reno sat down at a nearby barstool, resting his arm on the bar and his head in his hand he closed his eyes as the silence just…was everywhere. Not that it bothered him at the moment. But the silence was broken by a familiar sound. It was sure to be PSICOM right? When Yuffie asked what was going on, Reno leaped from his chair, pulling his mag rod out of the inside of his jacket and standing there, staring at the doors. “It’s gotta be PSICOM…I swear I’m getting so sick of those guys.” He said glancing at the short ninja next to him. And of course, PSICOM being so polite, knocked down the doors to Seventh Heaven. Lovely. Reno held his rod out in his left hand as he grinned a bit. The soldiers weren’t supposed to mess with ShinRa affairs, this would be fun. Time for some payback. As Yuffie got In her own stance Reno glanced at her and a smug grin crossed his face as his eyes slowly shifted back towards PSICOM. White rose of Wutai…cute. “You gonna keep standing there or shoot someone?” Reno said provoking the soldiers in front of him. One good thing about Reno, he was quick and a very good martial artist…this would be entertaining and perhaps…Reno would begin to like Yuffie a bit more since here they were about to take on PSICOM together. “Alright ‘single white rose of wutai’ I hope you can hold your own…I’m not gonna be able to save your ninja butt” he said with almost a chuckle knowing the girl would be able to handle herself. And with that, shots were fired. Words: 513 Muse: Its Reno! of course its good! Notes: None |

::...The Puppy...:: [/color][/u] ”Boy oh Boy, the price for freedom is steep.” Zack shrugged a little bit, “Yeah, I mean, not right away. When the buildings all done and everything, so you can see my sorry face around the bar for awhile longer.” He gave him a smile and put his hands behind his head, walking a bit. Zack would miss them though, “Don't worry, how 'bout I get a place close to the bar so that I can visit every day? I'd miss those kids, and of course, you and Tifa, you've been so good to me.” He gave him a 'don't worry, I'm no going to leave completely' look and gave him a thumbs up, “Of course, only if thats alright.” He was sure it was, but he had to make sure of course. He smiled, Cloud, Tifa and those two kids were going to see more of him then they realized. They couldn't get rid of him that easily!
He smiled when Cloud talked about the deadline, “Sure thing, I'm sure they'll get it done before...” He was about to say wedding date, but then he stopped. He was fairly sure that Cloud wasn't talking about the wedding, but of his brand. Zack sighed a bit and tried to cheer things back up again. That was when he heard something. “Huh?!” He breathed out as he turned around to he commotion. “What the hell!” He finally burst out as he saw guys breaking into the bar. PSICOM! Zack felt an old feeling well up inside him. They were ruining the bar! Cloud and Tifa's bar! No! Damn it, no! He wasn't going to let them get away with that.
“Cloud the bar!” With that he reached a hand back and swept the giant buster sword from where it usually rested against his back. He started running then, massive sword held firmly in his gloved hand. They neared the bar as most of the PSICOM guys were trying to cram through the door. “Not on MY time you don't, punk!” Zack yelled as he neared them. Cloud and himself had only walked a little ways away from the bar, and now he just reached it in only a few seconds. He hoped Yuffie and Reno were ok, but knowing them, they were. They could take care of themselves. So he just grabbed the PSICOM guy by his shirt and dragged him back, knocking him on the head with the sword as he did so.
Then he was in the flurry of the action. Twirling the buster sword, Zack ran here and there, peeling the PSICOM guys off that were trying to get in the bar. He gracefully wielded the massive sword and traded blows with the guys that had been shocked to see two men come from nowhere wielding massive swords with grace. “Come and get it!” He said with a shout as he jumped here and there, blue eyes focusing on a target and then when that target was accounted for, he would simply move onto the next one. Easy as pie these guys were, you wanted tough, you go fight Sephiroth, Genesis or Angeal. These guys were nothin. Words: 650 Muse: Good Notes: none |

.:Materia Ninja:. Alright, who's been touching my Materia? Yuffie watched as the soldier-like people started to inch their way into the Seventh Heaven. She sure didn't like the way these people looked, especially with those guns in their hands, but she could take them. She was the Greatest Warrior of Wutai! She could take on anyway, if she wanted to! She swiftly grabbed the shuriken that was strapped to her back, and held it tightly in her hand, a large smirk appearing on her face. This would be fun.
“Alright ‘single white rose of wutai’ I hope you can hold your own…I’m not gonna be able to save your ninja butt.”
"You won't need to! I'm the Greatest Warrior of Wutai, remember. I just hope I don't have to save your Shinra butt. That would be embarrassing for you and the company."
And with that, she through her shurkien into the fray, having it slice through a couple PSICOM soldiers. While it was out of her hands, she dodged the bullets with the flexibity and speed of an acrobat, and kickedone of the soldiers in the face, and another in the gut before grabbing her shuriken, and slashing it towards some of the others. She flipped backwards and dodged more of the bullets that were being shot at the too. Tifa was going to really angry when she got back. And Yuffie was going to make sure she wasn't there to see that, if it did happen. She focused her attention back on the soldiers, moving forward into the fray again, helping to lower the numbers of them.
“Come and get it!”
Yuffie heard Zack throughout all of the gunfire, and she couldn't help but let a smile come to her lips. With that big sword on his back, that she had seen earlier, she was sure this fight would go much quicker. And even quicker with Cloud helping. She had seen some of the stuff he had done, and she had to admit, she was impressed when he wielded his own giant sword.
Finally, all of the PSICOM soldiers had been taken care of, and Yuffie could let a sigh, before twirling her shurkien in her hand.
"That's what you get for going against the Single White Rose of Wutai."
She couldn't help but grin, and twirl her shuriken just a bit more before strapping it to her back once again, and tightening the headband around her forehead. But, when she opened her eyes, she didn't see Cloud anywhere.
"Hey, where's Cloud? I thought he would be fighting too. Do you know where he went Zack? You were with him last."
This was weird. She had never known Cloud for not helping with a fight. Especially one that would involve the Seventh Heaven. And why would these guys even be here. They weren't doing anything...Something wasn't turning up right. She would have to remember to ask Cloud about it later... Words: 592 Muse: Good Notes: Go Yuffie~! Beat some PSICOM butt~! |

 Second in CommandLooks like today we're clockin' out early
It was almost too quick of a fight! But when you had Cloud, Zack, Yuffie and himself all in on the fight…you knew it would end quickly. While Reno stood there placing his Mag Rod back in his jacket, he looked around the bar, not too much damage, though Tifa probably wouldn’t be happy…at least they stopped the soldiers from completely destroying the place right? “Yeah you go white rose.” Reno said with a slight chuckle and a roll of the eyes, he was starting to like Yuffie and the rest of Cloud’s ‘gang’ more than he had before. In fact, they were a group of really cool people, now if Cloud would ease up on Reno, things would be a lot better.
When Yuffie asked about Cloud’s whereabouts, Reno just blinked…had Cloud not even fought with them? What a rip off! Reno stepped outside of the bar and just stared around, no sign of Cloud. What the hell was this? Cloud Strife running from a few lanky PSICOM soldiers? “Well that was awfully nice of him…leaving us here to do the fighting.” He mumbled low under his breath to himself, hopefully no one heard that and smacked him or something, though it was true. Since when was Cloud running from a fight? Something was definitely wrong with the guy, and Reno knew it. Though for right now he didn’t care, Cloud wasn’t his concern right now, even if he wanted Cloud’s forgiveness it wasn’t like he was going to go on a wild goose chase for the guy! That was a silly idea anyway…he would return right? “I…don’t see him out here.” Reno said rubbing the back of his head before turning around to face Yuffie and Zack.Words: 520 Muse: Good Tagged: Zack, Yuffie and Cloud Notes: None |

::...The Puppy...:: [/color][/u] ”Boy oh Boy, the price for freedom is steep.” “Come on then!” With an effortless twist of his wrist, the sword was slicing through air again, another soldier down. This was nothing to a SOLDIER operative like he was. Well ex-SOLDIER operative, but still, old habits die hard, or at least, thats what everyone said. And they were right in his case. He could be happy go lucky, full of energy and a 'puppy' one moment and the next be deadly accurate and professional in a fight. If you were Zack's friend you only saw the side of him that was optimistic, cheerful and happy go lucky. If you were his enemy you'd see the sharp side of a sword.
Zack swept his sword around there and in a matter of seconds it was calm again. The Soldiers that weren't down had run off. He could practically hear them yelling for their mothers. “Yeah go cry to your mama's!” With that he twirled the buster sword around in the sky three times and settled it on his back once again. Making a fistpump into the sky, he settled his hands on his hips and watched them scatter, amusement on his face. “And THAT! Is how we do things SOLDIER style! Right Cloud?!” He stood there grinning like an idiot when suddenly he realized he wasn't getting a response from Cloud. “Cloud?” He turned around to look at his friend only to realize he wasn't there. “Cloud!”
Intense blue eyes stared around, had he gone into the bar? Zack hotfooted it to the bar when suddenly Yuffie and Reno stepped out. He glanced over them into the bar....nothing. He pivoted on his foot again, looking around him. Where was he?! Yuffie asked him a question. He had not a clue. “I dunno Treasure Princess, one second I was talking to him, and then the next those dudes came, and then...it was all over with and he wasn't here.” He shrugged his shoulders and then whipped out his phone. Pressing speed dial, Zack held it up to his head and swinging his other arm around to loosen it up, he paced as he called Cloud.
Reno's voice came out of nowhere. Zack glanced over at him and gave him a weird expression. Almost saying on the above level that something was up. Did either of them know about Cloud being a l'cie? He took another deep breath and sighed, the phone ringing in his ear. Was Cloud going to pick up or not? “I dunno if he's gonna pick up guys...” He ran his hand through his hair and felt like cursing the luck. Why had he run off? Cloud shouldn't run from a fight! Damn it! He felt the weight coming down on his shoulders. He was here to keep Cloud sane...and he wasn't doing all that great of a job of being there for him.
