Chapter 2

Rain

This chap's Rain by Breaking Benjamin. I don't think I said that the last chapter was Unwell by Matchbox Twenty.

Most characters not mine. Their owner is Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix.

Bolded Italics are a dream/nightmare.

Take a photograph,
It'll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here,

"Hey, Reno, go on ahead." Rod gave Reno a slight push towards the exit.

"What? NO! I'm not leaving without you, Rod," Reno said. "Its bad enough Myde's missing; don't make me leave." He tugged on the older man's suit jacket. "Come on."

"Sorry, red. I can't go with you. I'm stuck." Rod pulled on his other arm, showing Reno he wouldn't make it out of this mission. "Keep an eye on Cissnei for me, kid."

Reno hesitated. If he stayed too long, the fire would burn him, if he wasn't crushed to death first.

"Reno, go. Tell Tseng and Veld what happened. Don't let Cissnei kill anyone other than targets, okay?" Rod gave Reno another shove, causing the redhead to stumble closer to the open window.

Reno nodded, not wanting to leave his friend, almost older-brother figure. It had been a wayward mission that had caught Myde off guard, but being killed by getting your sleeve and arm caught by a falling beam and burned to death wasn't much better. For a Turk, anyway. Reno bit his lip and took a pace back to Rod, turned around, sprinted and, upon arriving at the window, jumped, shattering the glass he went through and cutting his face right by his eyes.

At the alarm clock ringing, Reno shot up, dream still playing in his head. 'Second time in two days,' he thought, fingering the bandages still wrapped around his head.

I don't have a past
I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say,

A Slum brat accepted into the Turks, Reno was an unlikely target in his everyday life. Joining the Turks and meeting Myde a month later was probably the best thing that had happened to him. Ever.

The PHS rang. "It's Reno, whaddaya want?… Oh, Tseng, it's you… what do you mean that you're relived that I answered?…So you heard from Cissnei that I haven't been sleeping too well, huh?" Reno listened to Tseng for a minute, asking only where he was supposed to meet this new Turk.

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

It was raining when they met, just like when Myde went missing and Rod died.

"So, you're Rude. The name's Reno, and I guess we're partners from now on." Reno stared at Rude, who watched him.

"…" Rude cocked an eyebrow.

"You need sunglasses. I bet I can find some you will like." Reno smiled a bit.

"…?" Both eyebrows went up that time.

"What? You try being one of the only teenagers in this company. You have to find something to do to prevent yourself from getting old prematurely."

Is it you I want,
Or just the notion
Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around

"Why? Why did they both have to die? That's not right, Myde was just a kid and Rod was mine."

Safe to say from here,
Your getting closer now,
We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be

"What do you mean, there's been no sign of him?! You're TURKS! You're supposed to know everything!" Sephiroth yelled at Reno. Angeal, Genesis and Zack were holding him back, while Reno was likewise being held back by Tseng, Rude, Cissnei and Erica ((Gun(female) Erica's a good name for Elena's older sister.)).

"Both of you stop! We can't have an inter-department fight now of all times!"

"SHUT UP LAZARD!!" the two rounded on the SOLDIER director, who cowered behind Rufus. Rufus was watching with some slight amusement and worry. While he and Reno hung out some, it was still amusing to see him get in a fight with Sephiroth and come out with nothing but a couple minor scratches.

Actually, the only real wounds either of them had was Sephiroth pulled on Reno's bandages, making the cuts by Reno's eyes open up and Reno managed to get a couple clumps of Sephiroth's hair.

"You're not the only one who's worried. He's not even supposed to go on actual missions. Myde's a hacker that snipes people. He's younger than me." Reno relaxed slightly, causing the people holding on to him to warily let go. Jumping forward to the surprise of the others, he managed to get a bit more of Sephiroth's hair.

"You scrawny little shit. I ought to kill you," Sephiroth said.

"Yeah? Get in line. All the gangs want my hide." Luckily for the both of them, President Shinra decided to pop in at that moment.

"What's this? Infighting among the Departments? Turks, SOLDIERS, stand down. ((twitches all around.)) Why fight among ourselves when we've got Wutaiians to get rid of?" Tseng visibly winced. Twenty-four year old Wutaiian traitor to some. "Well? Disperse!" ((Annoying ass))

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.To lie here under you,
Is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,
To lie here under you is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,

"Why must it always be raining when we get information like this?" Reno and Rude had just found out from Veld that Myde had been found. In Jounen, in the labs. Where Hojo was. Where it was always raining.

Rude shrugged. He still didn't quite understand Reno's relationship with this "Myde" fellow. "Bad luck?"

"Prolly. C'mon, we've got to get there soon. Hojo might move him before we get a chance to rescue him."

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain, rain go away,

All the world is waiting for the sun,

"I hate Hojo. Damn scientist scares the shit outta me." Reno suppressed a shiver at the sight of the labs the got to in Jounen.

"Let's get that wayward Turk."

All the world is waiting for the sunSo, how'd you like this one? It was evil to me and wouldn't write right and was being stubborn. Review please!

I wanted to post this as a Christmas present for you guys, but I was kicked off the computer before I could post. SORRY!

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.
