As long as you're mine

Chapter 1

Tachel sat at her window looking out upon the land that she called home. Healin, not the prettiest of places but it was where she worked. She had found a job working for Rufus Shinra as one of his body guards, the Turks. Unfortunately she was still in training meaning she wasn't allowed to actually guard Shinra. She didn't see why she had to go through training, she had learned from her father how to sword fight at an early age. Then at age fifteen her father taught her how to use a gun. She had mastered both of these and all of the techniques that went with them. But according to Shinra she still needed more practice, and she wasn't about to argue with her boss. There was a knock on Tachel's door.

"Come in." Tachel said. Shinra entered her room. He was in a wheel chair now seeing as the stigmatism had gotten to him. He seemed to be deteriorating fast but that didn't stop him from working.

"Tachel I need you to go to the market and pick up a few things for the staff, can you do that?" Shinra asked assuming Tachel was available to do so.

"Sure I have nothing better to do anyways." Tachel answered although she could think of lots things that she would rather be doing. Shinra thanked her and left her alone in her room. Tachel went to her closet and pulled out her shoes and slipped them on. She grabbed her bag and her sword as she walked out the door she made sure that Reno wasn't around. When she thought the coast was clear she decided to leave. As she turned a corner to go down the hallway just before the one leading to the door she saw Reno talking to Rude. She turned to go back the other, she would rather go the long way then have to talk to Reno. She started to walk away but was stopped by the sound of Reno's voice.

"Hey! Wait up Tachel!" Tachel stopped dead in her tracks and turned slowly. Once Reno had said goodbye to Rude he jogged over to her.

"Hey Tachel where ya going?" Reno asked as he walked next to her.

"Oh just running some errands for Shinra." Tachel said. She looked annoyed at Reno for the fact that he always found out where she was going somehow. Reno had been Crushing on Tachel since the first day she came to work for Shinra. He never stopped bothering her and he never let her go out on her own, she hoped this time would be different.

"Hey I'm sorry I can't come with you today but Shinra needs me here, some important guest is coming to see him and he wants to make sure everything goes as planned." Reno said to Tachel.

"Oh that's alright, I'm sure I'll manage. Bye Reno." Tachel said as she walked out the door leaving Reno inside.
