Day 17

The men had gathered in Rufus' office for a council of war.

"We're all here because we realize how serious this situation is. Reno can't be continued to carry on like this any longer." Rufus started the discussion. "We're afraid the situation may become violent in this city soon."

"It already has." Cloud said. "Tifa gave me this black eye when I asked her where my socks were."

"Yuffie stole my coffin." Vincent admitted.

"Scarlet and Elena tried to kill each other last night." Tseng said.

"The barista maid didn't give me my coffee this morning, she just started throwing croissants and bagels at me, the receptionist threw pencils at me, and your secretary threw pushpins." Rude complained.

"Any suggestions on how to restore peace in this town and get the old Reno back?" Rufus asked.

The men just stared at each other, hoping someone else had an idea.

"Whatever needs to be done, it needs to be done before Reno ends up getting fat. And before he invites us to another one of those damned dinner parties." Rude said.

Day 18

Reno walked into the office building, oblivious to the disappointed expression on the receptionist's face as she saw he still had his shirt properly buttoned up and was wearing a tie.

At the morning meeting, Tseng had a new mission for Reno and Rude, handing the folders containing the precise details in silence.

"A brothel? We have to spend a week at a brothel? But tomorrow is the premiere of all the new cooking shows! And I wanted to host another dinner party this weekend!" Reno complained.

Tseng stared hard at Reno. "Human trafficking is a serious crime, and you're going to do your best to investigate the truth of these complaints, is that understood?"

Reno reluctantly nodded his acquiescence.

Day 25

Rude entered Rufus' office, and Rufus and Tseng looked hopefully at him. He shook his head. "No luck, all Reno did was take over the kitchen there and offer cooking classes to the girls. I'm worried he might be beyond saving."

Rufus and Tseng hung their heads down, scared that Rude might be right and this town was going to be a death trap soon.

The women held their own council of war at 7th Heaven.

"Well, we've let the men bungle things long enough." Tifa said. "Suggestions?"

"Kidnap him and chain him to a bed so we can do what we want with him." Scarlet offered.

"Spike his food with the most powerful aphrodisiac available on the black market." Elena said.

"Steal his TV and everything in his kitchen so he can't watch that channel or cook." Yuffie suggested.

Day 31

Reno was excited about this dinner party, it was his most ambitious one yet. It took him four times arranging the dishes and décor on the table until he was happy with the layout. The oven buzzer went off and he hurriedly took the appetizers out and put them in the living room. As soon as he put the baking sheet in the sink, there was a knock at the door.

"It's open!" he called out. "Appetizers hot out of the oven in the living room, I'll let you know when dinner's ready."

Surprised by the lack of stomping into the living room, he made sure he could leave the stove for a moment and went into the living room, stunned when he sees Tifa, Scarlet, Elena, and Yuffie there.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he demanded to know.

"We wanted to experience your cooking skills as well." Tifa said, a dangerous glint in her eyes, echoed by the other women there.

"You don't wanna ruin dinner, do you?" Yuffie asked him. "I don't want to smell it burning."

Glaring at her, he went back to the kitchen. With ill grace, he served them dinner.

"What the hell is this?" Scarlet asked, poking at the food on her plate with her fork.

"Shut up and eat it." Yuffie told her.

"Don't tell me what to do, you little bitch!" Scarlet snapped.

"I'd be careful about who I call a bitch." Tifa said to Scarlet.

"Like you're careful with Cloud?" Elena asked Tifa. "Is he still mooning over Aerith?"

"Ladies!" Reno snapped. "Since you forced yourselves to my dinner party, please just eat."

Elena went to cut hers into proper bite sized portions, but a piece of meat flew off her plate and hit Yuffie in the face. Yuffie reacted by grabbing a handful of pasta and throwing it back at Elena, knocking Scarlet's wine glass onto her as well. Scarlet threw her soup at Tifa, and then all hell broke loose.

"Not the food! It took me two hours to cook all this!" Reno pleaded, to be answered by a glob of mashed potatoes hitting his cheek. "That's enough!" he yelled.

The four women froze, the food no longer on the plates but all over them.

"Get out!" Reno yelled, pointing at the door before storming into his bathroom.

"Well that worked brilliantly, didn't it?" Scarlet said, wiping salad dressing off her eyelids.

"Elena and I will stay here and help clean up." Tifa decided.

"Fine, but just remember, I'm always ready for a rematch." Scarlet said, pointing a long finger ending in a red sharp fingernail at her, then moved the finger to point at Elena. "And you're lucky that Tseng intervened to save your ass." Then she and Yuffie left.

"We need to clean ourselves up first before we clean this up." Elena said.

Tifa nodded, and they headed to the bathroom where Reno was wiping off his face.

"What do you want now?" Reno demanded to know.

"We're gonna clean ourselves then help you clean up." Tifa said, as she and Elena got into the shower. Once they got the temperature right, they took their clothes off and took turns lathering each other up.

Reno turned to leave when for some reason he stopped and watched them. He noticed Tifa's breasts looked like his cream puffs. He instinctively licked his lips. And Elena's ass, it reminded him of a perfect rump roast, and his hand started twitching as Tifa caressed it with soapy hands, making it seem the color of perfect cream. He stared longer at them, the two perfect food dishes in his shower. Long absent sensations started flowing through him, and his clothes started feeling too tight. He wasn't even aware of taking his clothes off, but suddenly he was naked and heading into the shower.

"Is there room for three?" he asked.

As all three of them lay in his bed later, Elena and Tifa were curled contentedly against Reno, Elena on his right, Tifa on his left. Elena sighed as she remembered how he had shoved her against the tile wall of the shower and fucked her like a whore. She needed to remember to try and find something nice to do for Tifa, for letting her have first crack at Reno again, since he had flubbed their last encounter.

Elena felt Reno's lips on her neck again and smiled when he told her it was her turn again. Tifa stroked his ass as he thrust into Elena, knowing he would be inside her again soon enough. She had missed him so much…she closed her eyes as she heard Elena cry out, Tifa's body almost echoing Elena's orgasm as it remembered their reunion in the shower. She kept her eyes closed as she relived every moment of their reunion, opening them as she felt his hands on her.

"You ready for more?" Reno asked Tifa.

"Always." Tifa declared, pulling Reno to her.

A Week Later

"Report." Rufus commanded.

"Tifa made me breakfast in bed." Cloud said.

"Yuffie returned my coffin, and it had been polished." Vincent announced.

"Elena organized my desk and typed up all the cold case files." Tseng said.

"The barista maid gave me a flower with my coffee this morning." Rude admitted.

"Can we nominate Reno for the Aerith Peace Prize?" Cloud asked.
