Chapter One

Reno was starting to regret his decision.

His plan had seemed great, brilliant at the time it had appeared in his mind. But now that he had acted out his scheme, he was seeing the consequences. I blame Cloud, Reno thought bitterly. After all, Cloud was the reason this had seemed necessary to begin with. Cloud and a pint-sized ninja named...

"Yuffie! Can't we talk about this?"

"No! Give me back my materia!" The White Rose of Wutai yelled, shuriken in hand, "Don't think I won't use this!"

Reno and Yuffie were running through the streets, Yuffie chasing after the redheaded Turk, which caused a lot of comotion in the usually quiet neighborhood. As he was running, Reno saw a building he recognized and raced towards it. Yuffie saw the building too, and realized what he was planning. Don't think you're getting off the hook that easily, Yuffie thought. He obviously thought she wouldn't clobber him with all those people nearby. Wrong.

Reno burst through the door of Seventh Heaven, causing the customers and the brunette working behind the counter to look over at the pair that had just run in. Reno sat down on a stool at the counter and pulled three materia out of his pocket, one Cura and two Fire.

"Give those back!" Yuffie shouted, reaching for the materia.

"Um, guys?" Tifa said, puzzled, "Would you mind telling me what the hell is going on?"

"Later," Reno promised, then turned back to Yuffie. "If you want these back, you'll need to listen to what I have to say."

"Like hell I will." She reached for the materia again, but Reno moved them just out of her reach.

"Cloud needs your help."

The ninja lowered her arms and looked at Reno skeptically. "What?"

Reno continued, relieved that his plan to get her to listen had actually gone somewhere. "There's something going on in Nibelheim. I'm not quite sure what it is, but it isn't good. Cloud hasn't told me much, but he'sforming a group of people to check it out." Reno could see he'd caught her interest. "It'll be dangerous," He added.

Yuffie considered this for a moment, before announcing: "I'm in!"

Reno sighed, relieved.

"Now give me back my materia!" Yuffie said, grabbing the materia from his hands and running out the door.

"That energy..." Tifa laughed, handing a drink to a man in a business suit, "Does she ever get tired?"

"I'm beginning to wish she had an Off switch" Reno muttered, causing Tifa to laugh and almost spill the wine on her customer.

A/N: This is Reno's chapter. Each chapter will feature a different character as they embark on this journey Cloud is planning... ENJOY! ~Honeybee
