Wrong Turn

Chapter 10

Reno sighed as he walked along the slummy streets of Midgar. He wished he had some company with him. Granted he was still mad, and needed to cool off a bit, but Rude could have come with him. I mean, it's Reno. You can't leave him alone.

"Stupid Tifa…Why did she have to say those things…Okay, so she's not stupid, but she could have kept her opinion to herself! Maybe I should go apologize to her. I mean, I did let them get away with Cloud. No! She should apologize to me. She mad me feel bad, yo! Although Rude did say she might not have meant it…Chicks are too complicated!" Reno kept arguing with himself as he walked throughout the city.

"Reno." Somebody caught his attention from behind him.

He turned around and found none other than Vincent Valentine standing there. Vincent made Reno jump, that man was like a shadow sometimes; silent and mysterious.

"Oh. What do you want, Vampire?" Reno asked him in an aggravated tone. He wasn't mad at Vincent, he was just mad in general.

"You said you were off to find Cloud. From the looks of it you could use some help." He told his fiery-haired companion.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I can handle this on my own." He retorted back to the golden clawed man, before continuing his walk down the road.

"Reno, we can't let you go alone. You saw what they did to Cloud." Vincent warned him

The informal Turk stopped in his tracks and thought for a second. Who was we?

"Yeah? And who's "we"?" He questioned the cloak-wearing man.

"Tifa and I. We don't want you to end up like Cloud" Valentine told Reno.

"Hmph. Why would she care?" Was all Reno said.

Right after Reno had spoken those words, he saw Tifa approaching. The red-head started to head in the direction he was going, but Vincent grabbed his arm, telling him, even though he wasn't talking, that he needed to stay.

Reno sighed and turned to face the brunette.

"What do you want, yo?" He said to her, not really caring about manners right at this moment.

"Reno, I need to apologize. I didn't mean anything I said. I'm just worried about Cloud, and I guess I snapped." Tifa showed her sorrow by looking at him right in the eyes, showing that her wine-colored orbs were glossy with wet tears, some which had flown freely down her thin cheeks. Reno's heart melted at the sight of her.

The Turk sighed and looked up at the sky.

"I guess silent man was right. Man, how is he always right, even though he NEVER talks?" Reno's mind flooded with confusion as he looked back down at Tifa

"Don't worry about it, doll face. I'm worried too. Hell, I was just flippin' out at Rude. Guess we all need to let our anger out somehow."

At that, Tifa Lockhart couldn't help but smile. Wiping the tears from her eyes, she began to talk again.

"Does that mean we can help you?" she asked Reno

"Sure. Silent man bailed on me, so I could use all the help I can get." The informal man explained to her, before looking at Vincent.

"But, I guess we got the next best thing, huh vampire?" he asked Vincent, causing the blood-eyed man to glare at him.

Vincent pulled out his gun and held it out, pointing it right at Reno.

Reno froze and looked directly at Cerberus.

"Hey, hey! Cool it, yo! It was a joke!" He told Valentine, holding up his hands as a sign of defense.

Vincent just looked at him confused, before putting the bullets into his prized possession, and placing it back into its holster.

"I think you need to cool it." Vincent stated plainly, before walking off in the direction Reno was going, Tifa and Reno following him.

…...

Walking through the forest, Tifa and Vincent couldn't help but feel a bit insecure. Neither of them had ever been around here, and they were starting to wonder if Reno was thinking straight.

"Reno...Are you sure about this?" Vincent finally broke the silence

"Yeah, man. Don't worry about it. I know where we're going." The blue-eyed man assured the raven haired one, looking back at him for a moment, before facing back in the direction he was going.

"But Reno…I've never been around here. It's almost completely deserted of people." Tifa reminded Reno

"That's what Kadaj and all of them wanted. Think about it. Their last base was in the Forgotten City." Reno explained

Tifa only nodded in agreement and continued walking.

…..

After a long and seemingly endless walk, they arrived at the little house that Reno and Rude had found Cloud at before.

Reno, remembering what Rude had done last time, went over to the door and got ready to kick it down, only to be stopped by Vincent.

"What are you doin', man? Get out of the way so we can break the door down!" Reno barked at Valentine.

"The window would be a better idea. It won't attract attention." The ex-Turk explained, pointing to an open window.

The red-head looked and sighed. Even he knew when he was being careless.

"Alright, lead the way." He said in a bored tone

Vincent went in through the window and looked around. He could tell that there was somebody living here, because there were unmade cots in the living room. What puzzled Vincent the most was that the rest of the room-the rest of the house- was empty. The remnants couldn't have spent a lot of time here.

Tifa and Reno joined Vincent shortly after, looking around for the remnants. Finding none, they decided to head down the stairs.

"You and Reno go down first. I'll stay at the back, incase any of them are still up here." Vincent Commanded.

Deep down Tifa didn't want him to go last. She didn't want any of them to sneak up on her friend, and it made her feel kind of helpless whenever she was in the middle of something, not being able to help. She knew she helped, but she knew she could help more than she did. Sighing, she agreed with the cloaked man, none the less.

They walked down the creaking stairs; every slight noise one of them made caused each of them to hold their breath. They might be capable of kicking people's asses, but it didn't make them want to be discovered when they didn't have to be.

After they had slowly but surely made there way downstairs was then that they realized that they had a problem. A big problem.

Cloud wasn't there.

……

Cloud awoke from his somewhat peaceful sleep when he heard a creak coming from outside of the small curtain-enclosed room. It sounded like it was somebody coming down the enormous set of stairs.

"Damn…Not yet! It's too soon!" Cloud mentally panicked. If it was Kadaj and the rest of them (which Cloud thought highly probable) then he was officially doomed. He strained against the rope that held him captive, but it held him fast. He wasn't getting away. The blonde kept staring at the curtain, every waiting moment feeling like hours. Fenrir's owner was unbelievably tense as he heard the footsteps of people. Three people.

"Oh god…" Was what Cloud's mind kept repeating.

"He's not here?" Somebody asked. They sounded so familiar…It wasn't the remnants! That was Vincent!

"Where the hell is Cloud, man?!" A second person cursed.

"…Reno?" The blonde considered

Then he heard somebody rushing around the room.

"Oh my god...He's not here!" yet another voice stated in panic. There was no mistaking that voice.

"Tifa!" Cloud called, his cry muffled through the gag in his mouth.

"What was that?" His childhood friend asked her companions. Obviously she couldn't understand him.

"Tifa!" He cried a bit louder

"What was what?" Valentine asked Lockhart

"I heard something or...or someone!" She alerted her friends

"Yeah, right Teefs. You're prolly just hearing things. Look around; there's nobody here but us." Reno simply explained to her, as he started to lean against what he thought was a wall, but was really the non-distinguishable curtain that hid his blonde companion.

Reno yelped in surprise as he fell back into the room, taking the curtain with him. Moaning as he got up, the blue-eyed fool took the curtain off of his head, and saw Cloud Strife.

"Uh…Guys? I think I found him, yo." He announced to Vincent and Tifa, calling over his shoulder.

Both of them went over (in Tifa's case-ran over) to where the red-head had fallen through the seemingly invisible hole in the wall.

The brunette-haired female looked into the room and saw her blonde crush, tied to a pole and gagged. She gasped in both happiness and surprise.

"Cloud!" she exclaimed as she ran over him, quickly hugging him before going behind him to untie his wrists.

Once Cloud was released, he took the gag out of his mouth and stood up.

He went over to Tifa, knowing he should apologize for worrying her.

"Tifa, I…I'm sorry for disappearing like that again, I jus-" He tried to explain, but found he couldn't talk when Tifa placed her lips onto Cloud's, kissing him affectionately with her arms wrapped around his neck.

Cloud stood there for a minute, shocked, with a slight blush on his cheeks, before closing his eyes and wrapping his arms around her waist, returning the kiss.

They released after a moment, each of their faces a new shade of pink, staring into each other's eyes.

Reno reminded the two that they weren't alone by commenting.

"Whoa, looks like we got a new couple, yo." He announced.

Cloud turned and glared at him.

"Shutup." He said smoothly, making Tifa giggle in the process. She cuddled into him, and it made Cloud forget his argument with Reno, and simply hugged her tighter.

Their romantic moment was interrupted when they heard the front door open, and footsteps coming down the many stairs.

They all froze. Kadaj had returned.

…..

Uh oh, looks like we have yet another cliff hanger! Bet you guys weren't expecting the little fluff scene to happen, huh? Can you guys tell me what you thought of that, along with how I did with the chapter? In other words, read and review so I know if this turned out okay. More coming soon!
