"Hey Dad. I..um...brought visitors with me if you don't mind."

Angel's [or Tifa's] dad nodded. He looked them over.

"Hm...looks like members from SOLDIER...you don't happen to be President Shinra's sons do you? And might I inquire, Tifa, where you found them?"

"Well...I found them walking on our territory...I thought it was harmless to invite them...seeing as they kept walking in circles like morons." She grinned evilly.

Reno's jaw dropped. "You knew and you never told us!?"

She shrugged.

"I figured you knew what you were doing since your buddy, Spike, caught me." She responded.

"You gotta hang 'round with me sometime, baby doll." Reno said.

Angel's dad stood up and threw an orange that was lying nearby on the table at Reno. With Reno's quick reflexes, however, he was able to catch it.

"Nice try old man."

Tifa shot him a glare, giving him the hint to shut up. The father continued on.

"You three never answered my question. Are you, or are you not President Shinra's sons?"

Zack felt the coldness in his voice and he replied, "No, we aren't."

"Hey dude," Reno was interrupted by yelling up above and it was coming closer...

"Nuh uh! That's mine! Give it back!"

"Yeah well, you gotta catch me first Aery!"

Two girls began running down the stairs and into the dining room where everyone was. A girl clad in a pink skirt and white shirt chased after the one dressed almost like Tifa...or Angel. They kept running around the room until Angel walked through them like water...or maybe it was her swift speed that created that "illusion". After this, both girls fell to the ground. The one with the short hair scrunched up her nose.

"Angel!! You know you're not supposed to use that technique unless it's for defense!"

"You weren't supposed to be running around the house unless it was for training ya doof!" Angel retorted.

The one with the braids stood up and brushed herself off.

"Honestly, Tifa, it's better if you told us to stop rather than use that 'fatal illusion' of yours or whatever."

Angel rolled her eyes, seeing as there was no other way to disprove 'Aery' otherwise.

At that instant, Zack fell for the girl known as Aery. She was beautiful! Angel noticed this right away and shook her head.

"I doubt any flirting techniques will work on her Zack."

Zack blinked and looked at Angel. "Wha?"

Reno nudged him. "Bro, she knows more than you'll ever know!"

He was confused even more and Cloud laughed. Angel left the room without any word, leaving her guests behind. Cloud, who was curious, followed her.
The woman of the house entered the dining room with a plate of salad in her hands. Reno, who wanted to be the "perfect gentleman" helped her with the plate and set it on the table. The father looked at him suspiciously but didn't say anything, only this:

"Forgive me for not introducing myself. I am Vincent Valentine and this is my wife, Lucrecia."

Lucrecia smiled and Reno and Zack shook hands with the proud owners of three lovely girls. Soon after, Reno was engaged in a small talk with Yuffie, both of whom were arguing at who had the best materia, and Zack and Aerith were both talking, smiling as they did so.

"So...wanna battle? I'm up for a good fight seeing as I have much energy in my system right now."

"Sure Tifa."

She shook her head. "No, no, no...it's Angel. You have to refer me to that because I hate it when stranger's call me by my real name."

Cloud chuckled. "Alright Angel."

Angel nodded and took out a pair of twin blades with a silver hold. A small diamond was placed upon the center of each dagger and Cloud had no idea what that represented. Cloud reached behind him and felt nothing. Angel giggled.

"I have it."

"Oh right!"

She handed him back his murasame and got into a stance. Cloud did the same. Barely minutes had passed and he was sweating already. He decided to have the first attack, and when his sword seemed inches away from her neck, she disappeared and reappeared behind him.

"Nice try Spike. I know you can do better."

She flashed him a grin and disappeared once more. Wind. That's all he had to listen and feel for. He felt something brush along his cheek only there was a pain that went along with it. The swishing stopped, or so he sensed, and he touched his cheek lightly and pulled his hand away to find red, warm liquid spread on it. Angel was suddenly in front of him, her eyes wide with fright.

"Ohmigosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't really think it'd hit you! We have to take care of that!" And she dragged him off to the side of the house, bringing him to a small lake. She took off her bandana that was wrapped around her forehead and dipped it into the water, soaking it thoroughly and then taking it back out. She squeezed it so any extra water fell right back into the lake and she softly brushed the cloth across his cheek.

"Geez...where do you learn skills like that."

"My dad." She replied. "Yuffie and I were brought up by him while my older sister, Aerith, was brought up by my mom and was taught how to handle a staff."

Cloud saw his oppurtunity while she chattered away. Quickly, he picked up his murasame and ran for it. Angel was sitting there, dumbfounded, and also stood up.

"Grr....I try and help and you run away. You'll pay!" And she dashed off, leaving nothing but a trail of gust behind her.

Cloud sat above on the tree branch and waited, watching the area closely. From the corner of his eye he spotted some kind of wavy line, a mirage created by heat almost, and it disappeared. He noticed that it jumped from one end to another, about twenty feet away from each other. Angel. It had to be her. She was as quick as the next roadrunner out there and she was gaining speed everytime. He leaned forward but the branch underneath him snapped and he was falling down, down, and he felt a pair of arms hold him but dropped him not too long.

"Ow! I save your ass but I drop you anyway! Some heroic rescue!"

"Angel, Angel, Angel...you gotta learn how to control your balance. Like this." He picked her up with ease and dropped her. "See?"

"Yeah well...no need to show off your physical strength...you make me feel inferior." She said.

He laughed and saw a blur again. "Damn! Why don't you learn how to keep your ass still for five minutes?"

He stood up and waited for anything to happen and something did. Her daggers pinned him right to the tree behind him, tearing his jacket a bit. Her quick movements allowed her to take it back and pounce him to the ground and finally, she was sitting on him.

"This still enough for ya?"

He nodded.

"Hehe...man, babyface, how I would love you on top of me like that!"

Angel turned around to find Reno standing there, a perverted look on his face. Angel stood up, disappeared into a blur and Reno found himself on the ground, Angel on top of him. With both daggers, she cut his cheeks a little bit, giving him twin scars.

"I really do hope this is good enough for your taste." She said.

He grinned. Angel, feeling sympathy for the "poor" boy below her, gave him a small kiss and ran inside. Reno ran a hand through his hair and smiled.

"See Cloud, that's how you handle girls."

Cloud groaned and threw his murasame straight at Reno, pinning him back down.

"Okay okay! I didn't mean it!"

"Shut up!"

"Watch your tongue!"

Both boys growled.

Author's Notes: Ahaha....another one! Weird I know...the whole twin scar thing..hm...maybe that's how he got those scars, eh? *giggle* Nah...I just felt like putting it there, *TRYING* to put a story behind those scars of his. Anyways, I hope you liked this one...and I know Aerith and Yuffie didn't get a big part but I'm onto it! Just wait...my fingers are cramping up....@_@
