A/N: Chapter one... I'm sorry, I don't even know what I'm doing! Rated T, just in case, for Reno's big mouth.

Chapter 1

"Enough!" Tseng shouted. "What is wrong with you two?" Elena and Reno sat in Tseng's office, each in their chair, looking at their slightly pissed off boss, that was standing now. He stared at them, too frustrated to say anything. And they just sat there. Elena, pressing a bag of ice against her jaw, and Reno, who was now wiping the blood off of his face with a wet towel. They both looked down, feeling guilty.

After a while, he continued "Turks kill people they're assigned to kill. Not each other!" He switched from looking at Elena to looking at Reno. "And I don't remember telling you two to kill each other." Elena was surprised to hear the usually calm Turk raise his voice. It did happen once, though, when Reno broke two windows while chasing Elena down the corridor. But that was the one and only time she remembered him raise his voice.

"She started it…" Reno mumbled while wiping blood away from his lip. Elena heard that and shot him a hostile look. "I don't care who started it. One of you always starts it." Tseng was clearly annoyed, since this wasn't the first time this week that they'd started fighting. In Rude's office. It happened on Monday. It was still Monday…

"Twice in one day is a bit extreme, don't you think? It's starting to look like a habit." Both Reno and Elena looked confused. They've been doing this for almost three years. Now it was starting to look like a habit? And the way he said it, made it sound like they were enjoying beating each other up and having to face each other every single day.

"You two have to do something about it soon. We're all getting very sick of it. You're the only people who can fix this."

"Excuse me, sir…" Elena started. "I tried to do something about it! Today!" She shot her hands in the air, looking at Tseng as if the whole thing was his fault. "But you grabbed the gun out of my hand before I could shoot him!" Reno stared at the desk in front of him, wide-eyed, the towel in his right hand stuck on his forehead. Right now he felt like throwing the towel at her, but that would have to wait. If he did anything in front of Tseng, he would be dead. And fired.

Tseng placed his hands on the desk, staring at Elena as if she was insane. Then, completely ignoring her comment, he turned to the other Turk. "If you two don't solve this, I will solve it for you." Reno glanced at Elena. "Yeah… Solve… I can't even talk to her without her starting to-" "Because you never try." She interrupted. "Last time you came near me, you simply filled my bra with your coffee." "Cause you took my beer!" He protested. "The bottle was empty!" she shouted. Both of them flew up from their chairs. "So? Maybe I needed it!" "It was on my desk!" Elena was starting to turn red, because she knew she was right. When Reno realized that, he changed the subject. "What do you need a bra for, anyway? You don't even have anything to fill it with." He said with a smirk. "You wouldn't know that. You've never been there!"

Tseng was starting to feel a bit embarrassed as he watched something that as a 'healthy' conversation, that was supposed to help them figure things out, turn into another pile of words. Awkward words.

"Can you two..?" He started, no longer understanding what they were saying. Seeing that they weren't listening, he gave up and sat down.

"You should really consider visiting a doctor, you know." Reno said after they both calmed down a bit. "But I bet that even he won't be able to pull that giant stick out of your a-" Elena's fist quickly shut him up. You would think that Tseng would react to that. "You little… See what I mean!" He yelled, hoping Tseng would do something, but he wasn't even paying attention anymore. Elena narrowed her eyes at Reno, then sat down, crossed her arms and looked away.

"Uh… Boss?" He tried. "Hey, boss… Sir, are you ok?" Tseng had a distant look on his face. A weird, faint smile appeared on his face. Reno tried waving a hand in front of Tseng's face. "Very original…" Elena mumbled, rolling her eyes. Fortunately it was too quiet for him to hear.

Then suddenly, Tseng looked up at Reno. He signalled him to sit down, and then got up from his own chair. "Okay, you two. I'm giving you one week. I repeat, one week, to figure this out on your own. Without hitting each other. Next Monday, if you still haven't figured it out, I will personally help you." He said it with a hint of cleverness in his voice. He was smiling now. And this time, really smiling. He was obviously very proud of his solution. If you could call it a solution…

The Turks just sat there, not knowing how to react. Both of them had a puzzled look on their faces. Reno dropped the towel. Elena's mouth fell open as she mimed 'one week'. She came pretty close to eating the ice bag.

"Now get out." Tseng said. Both of them froze. Then Elena slowly got up and left. Reno got up. He opened his mouth, as if to ask something. But when he saw that pleased look on his boss' face, that was now going through the files on his desk, he figured that there was no point in saying anything right now. He gradually left, not caring about the towel that was still on the floor.

When the Turks finally left, he mumbled to himself, "I really hope you two figure it out. For your sake." He picked up the cup of coffee he had completely forgotten about, and took a sip. Looking at the big bunch of papers in front of him, he smiled again. "Silly kids. They'll never learn." He shook his head and continued looking through the files.

A/N: Okay, now you can kill me. Pretty OOC, I know...
