Shocking Statements.

"..Rude, what exactly are we doing here again?"

"...I'm not sure.." Rude said, shrugging.

"Ah." Replied Reno, narrowing his eyes at Rufus who was walking quickly infront of them. "...ah..." He blew a strand of hair from his face, arranging the collar of his shirt.

"Bloody hot here isn't it?" Rude nodded, rubbing his head.

"Yeah. We could have had some more notice.. I would have bought some shorts or something.." Rude trailed of when Rufus suddenly came to a sharp holt and Rude almost collided into him. He straightened himself, dusting off his suit and ignoring the sniggers from Reno. Rufus, ignoring what had just happened, looked inside the building they had stopped by, a little white corner shop with a very large front window. Reno sighed, unbuttoning his shirt even more.

"Rufus.." He whined, dramatically waving his hand in the air as a fan. "..too hot."

"Be quiet." Snapped Rufus, scanning the room inside of the shop. Reno sighed, gritting his teeth and leaning on the shop window, looking at the large beach opposite them below the ledge they were stood on.

"Why don't we just go in? It will be cool in there and- Rufus?" The two Turks heard the door of the shop slam, and Rufus walking through the room inside. Reno cursed, dragging the shop door open and waiting for Rude to go in, before he stepped inside the cool room.

It was practically empty, with many white shelves, with nothing on them, a couple of coffee tables and a cash register resting on a white counter, with the door to the backroom just behind the register. Reno looked around, making sure his he had his baton with him.

"He must have gone through there." Reno said, pointing to the door. Rude nodded, stepping inside. Rufus was there, talking to a stunning black haired woman in a white shirt and black skirt. He glanced at Reno, silencing for the woman to stop.

"What are you doing?" He said, glancing from Reno to Rude. Reno widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Sir." He said, aware of the other person in the room, as well as Rude, but Rude, was Rude. "We are your bodyguards. You know? We follow you?" Rufus cleared his throat, opening the door of the room.

"Yes, but at this moment, you're waiting outside." He said, gesturing for them to go through the door. Reno opened his mouth to protest, but sighed, shaking his head and angrily slamming the door shut behind Rude, who had left the room quite a while ago.

"Okay. Now that's over with, I suppose Cloud came to see you the other day?" The woman nodded, her eyes glistening in the bright light of the back room.

"He did." She said. "I'm taking it you got the controller then?" Rufus nodded.

"Yes. It will be very useful, for your boss of course. I know the man talking to my wife had heard of what was happening.. and wanted a share.. but that's all been taken care of now." He said, smiling slightly. The woman nodded.

"Good. My boss would have talked to you today, but of course he's away. When are we going to make the deal?" Rufus frowned.

"I'll decide when your boss rings me, if that's okay." The woman nodded again.

"Yeah, of course. I'll get him to ring you as soon as he comes back." Rufus nodded.

"Thank you Ruby, have a nice day."

"You too Sir." Rufus smiled, walking out of the room.

Reno glared at Rufus' back, he suddenly stopped, turning around.

"It looks like were going to have to stay here for the night." Said Rufus, glancing at the early evening sky, which was thick with storm Clouds. "We can't fly back in a storm." Rude nodded in reply, as Reno seemed to be sulking. The three walked through the early evening empty streets of Costa de sol, coming to a very large, expensive looking hotel.

"This will do." Said Rufus, stepping inside into a large hall with two flights of mahogany stairs spiraling high above them. The three walked over to the main desk, an elderly woman looked up, smiling at them behind her glasses.

"Hello there."

"Hello." Rufus said bluntly, taking a check book from his pocket. "Can I have one single room, and one double room."

"Of course." Said the lady, telling Rufus the highly overpriced fee, which he scribbled down into his checkbook like he hadn't even heard it. She gave him the keys and they entered the lift, following a slightly awkward silence, for Rude at least, before coming to a large corridor, and stopping out side two doors.

"This is my room, that's yours." Said Rufus, handing Rude a key and glancing at Reno. Reno snatched the key from Rude, shoving it in the lock and walking inside, a quiet Rude nodding at Rufus, before following.

"Fucking fucking bastard!" Snapped Reno, throwing his jacket which he had been carrying around all day onto one of the large luxury single beds. "He drags us around the whole of Costa de sol all day! It bloody desert conditions, treats us like shit, and MAKES US STAY THE NIGHT IN THIS BLOODY PLACE!" Rude glanced around, taking a beer from the fridge and placing some money in the gold dish above it.

"It's not that bad-"

"ARGH! I'M GOING OUT RUDE. YOU STAY HERE WITH THAT BASTARD! WATCH TV OR SOMETHING, I JUST NEED TO GET AWAY!"

"Reno.. we need the helicopter.."

"I'm not using the helicopter." Sighed Reno. "Just, going somewhere." He said, walking out of the room. He closed his eyes for a second, leaning against the door and sighing, glancing at Rufus' room. He slowly straightened up, placing his hand on the door knob, before pulling his arm away sharply, clenching his teeth together, and storming down the hallway.

"Reno." Reno didn't look back, he was about to enter the lift when a hand grabbed his arm. He span round, coming face to face with Rufus.

"What?" Snapped Reno, pulling his arm away and waiting impatiently for an answer.

"Where are you going?"

"Out." Snarled Reno.

"Why?" Asked Rufus, raising an eyebrow.

"Why!" Reno scoffed. "You're a bloody bastard that's why! You-" Reno carried on flying insults at Rufus even when Rufus grabbed his arm and walked back up the corridor with him, opening the door to where Rude was, telling him he was having a word with Reno, and dragging Reno into his own room, the door locking behind them.

"--cock face-" Reno trailed off, realizing what had just happened. "Let me the fuck out of here!' Yelled Reno, tugging at the door.

"You're not going to get out Reno." Sighed Rufus. "I have the key." Reno cursed, glaring at Rufus.

"You just gonna keep me in here then?" He snarled. Rufus shook his head.

"I need to tell you something."

"What?"

"I'll tell you when you calm down."

"Maybe you can keep your calm Rufus, but I can't, especially when you just treat us like shit, and act like-"

"Reno, please." Reno slouched against the wall of the room, hanging his head slightly.

"Fine." He muttered. He heard Rufus cough, and when he looked back up he saw that the man had taken his white jacket off, and was sitting on the brown leather couch at the other end of the room. "It's about Shinra."

"What about Shinra?"

"Reno, please. I'm not talking to you across the room." Reno sighed, pushing himself off the wall and walking over to the couch, sitting down next to Rufus. "It's about Shinra. You're getting a new boss." Reno smiled, a large happy smile.

"Thank god! Tseng's a bloody-"

"Not Tseng Reno." Reno's smile fell, a frown screwing together his delicate features.

"You're not being serious." He said quietly. Rufus nodded.

"I am." Reno shook his head, his long strands of red hair tumbling down his shoulders after his pony tail had come out in the corridor.

"Don't fuck with me Rufus." He said in the same quiet tone. "If you left Shinra.." He trailed off. "No."

"Reno. What's happening is happening. I just thought you should be the first to know.." Reno sharply shook his head.

"No."

"Reno.."

"You can't just leave, Rufus! Why are you leaving? You're a bit young to retire, I think-"

"I'm leaving to.. start a family." Reno stared at the man in front of him blankly.

"What." Rufus raised an eyebrow. "What?! Start a family."

"That's what I said."

"You're leaving me to start a family?" Reno slammed his mouth shut, realizing what he had just said.

"Leaving you?"

"Figure of speech Rufus." Reno said quickly, rolling his eyes. Rufus raised an eyebrow, making Reno look around the room uncomfortably.

"Just can't believe you're going." Muttered Reno.

"..Reno.." Rufus said quietly, his voice softening. "You'll still see me.. Sometimes.."

"I don't want to see you!" Scoffed Reno. "What about everyone else! A new President will disrupt the whole company! Do you think-"

"I know that Reno."

Reno sighed. "Whatever." He said quietly, standing up. "Can I have the key, Rufus?" Rufus sighed, standing up and walking over to the door, Reno following.

"I'll open it." He said, placing the key in and slowly opening the door. Reno stood standing, next to Rufus, his eyes fixed on the floor, deep in thought.

"Reno." Said Rufus, tugging on his hair. Reno blinked, rubbing his head.

"Oh.. yeah.."

"Don't tell Rude yet."

"I won't."

"..It's not going to happen just yet."

"Whatever."

"Reno.."

"Yeah?" Rufus looked at Reno, the redhead's eyes screwed up with pain.

"Never mind." Reno paused, wanting to ask more, but just sighed, walking out of the room.
