Part 1: Chapter 8: Welcome to the Turks

"Reno! You lazy ass, get out of bed!" Addy banged on the door of Reno's room. She scowled and kicked the door twice. "Reno!" She kicked it again. "I swear Reno, you don't get up in a minute, I'll break the door down!" She yelled. No answer. She scowled again. The scowl slowly turned into a grin. She took out her keycard, jamming it in the lock in the door, she managed to undo it. Reno was laid down, face buried in his pillow. His covers were in disarray. Addy continued to have an evil grin on her face. She went into his bathroom, picking up a jug on the way. Filling it up with cold water, she went back into the room and stood at the head of the bed.

"1.... 2.... 3!" She poured the jug over his head. Reno shot up.

"What the!" He hollered. Adrienne giggled at him. He twisted his body round to see the blonde girl.

"Morning Reno." The red head pushed a strand of soaked hair out of his face. He rubbed his eyes.

"What was that for?" He groaned.

"I've been shouting you for at least ten minutes, lazy arse." He smirked.

"Have you now?" Before she could reply, he picked her up, one arm under her knees the other under her upper back. He marched into the bathroom. The blonde knew what he was going to do.

"Reno, don't you dare." She warned. He let her lower body drop as he took that arm and turned on the shower. "Reno!" She shrieked. He carried on smirking as he dropped her onto the floor of the shower. She turned her head and glared at him. Reaching a hand up to his boxer shorts, she dragged him as well. She stood up and pushed him against the wall. "I'll always have the last laugh, you know." She whispered.

"I was going to have a shower anyway. It doesn't make much difference." She smiled and leaned up to kiss him.

"You're glad I woke you up."

"Why's that." He asked, leaning in to give her a kiss in return.

"You get to shower with me now."

"You got me there." Reno whispered huskily in her ear. His breath made her giggle a little. He sucked on her earlobe, travelling down her neck, placing little kisses all over it. She moaned slightly, moving a hand towards Reno boxer shorts. He slapped her hand away. She moaned again. He continued to kiss around her neck, his hand travelling up her shirt. She removed his hand and pushed him against the opposite wall. She leaned up to his ear.

"My turn." She whispered. She kissed him softly on the lips. He groaned. She moved down to his neck and shoulder blade. She slid her leg up his inner thigh. He moved slightly, letting out a small moan. He pushed her back. His hand slid up her shirt again. She pushed him back. "We'll be late you know." She whispered.

"Let Rufus wait."

Rufus sat in his office, taping his pen on the desk. He looked at the two new Turks in front of him. He raised an eye brow at them.

"Why's your hair wet?" He asked. Reno smirked.

"Do you really wanna know?" Addy giggled. Rufus shook his head.

"Never mind." There was a knock on the door. "Enter." He said a little bit louder than a speaking tone. The door opened revealing two men dressed in navy blue suits. They both entered, and stood just inside the room, arms folded behind their backs. Reno and Adrienne turned round to look at the two. Rufus stood up and walked behind the two of them and stood in the middle. "This."... Rufus nodded his head towards the Wutian man. He was quiet tall, had longish black hair and dark coloured eyes. He had a small smile on his face. "...is Tseng Ryu." The man just nodded his head towards the two as a greeting. "And this..." He nodded to the other man. He was taller than Tseng, had a goatee beard and a shaven head. "....Is Rude Arakawa." He also nodded to acknowledge the Vice President. Rufus put his hand on Reno's shoulder. "This is Reno Komiya."

"Hi." Reno said as he waved a little. Rufus then put a hand on Addy's shoulder. "And this is Adrienne Arishima."

"Hello." Addy said as she smiled.

"I need them to be issued with stuff. Heidegger's in a foul mood. You can take one each." The two men nodded to the blonde man.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Reno walked next to the Turk introduced as Rude. He looked at the taller man for a minute. He remembered when he saw him with Rufus that day he was cleaning the floor. He grimaced at the thought. Fine position for someone to see you in. He decided to break the silence.

"How long you been working here then?" Reno asked. The bald man looked at him from the corner of his eye, although Reno couldn't see that from under the sunglasses. He didn't answer for quiet a bit and when he did, the man's voice made Reno do a double take at the man.

"Around 3 years." Rude told him in a quiet voice. Reno nodded.

"I've only been in SOLDIER for about two years." He mumbled, hating to talk about SOLDIER, but wanted to strike conversation with the other man.

"I heard about how you got in SOLDIER." Rude murmured.

"Who hasn't." Reno spat, not wanting to remember the night that happened.

"If it makes you feel any better, Sephiroth is a total prick." Rude told him. Reno grinned.

"I'm glad someone agrees with me." Rude looked at the younger man.

"You'll find most people will agree with you. He's got too much power and he knows it. He loves showing it off." Reno blinked for a minute.

"I never thought about it like that." He said softly. "If everyone thinks that why don't they do something about it?"

"They're too afraid to. Sephiroth doesn't have power for nothing." Rude responded.

"You don't have to remind me about that." Rude stopped at a door. Unlocking it with a key, he opened the door and turned on a light. He walked in, Reno following the other man. The younger man's eyes widened at the slight of the room. Even though the room wasn't very big, all the walls were covered with different types of weapons. There were cabinets attached to the wall. Reno thought that they most likely had weapons in them too.

"Pick a weapon. Doesn't matter what it is, you'll get trained on how to use it." Rude told him in a slightly louder voice than before. Reno took a step into the room. He stared a the different sized guns. Rude looked at him.

"You'll be given a small pistol anyway, if that's what you're wondering." The red head nodded. He opened a cabinet draw. His eyes widened. He looked at a small black stick that was in the draw. Pulling it out he turned to the taller man.

"What's this?" Rude looked at it for a moment.

"It's a nightstick. Like a cattle prod really." Reno stared at the stick for a minute.

"So it's like shocks people."

"To put it bluntly, yeah." Rude told him. Reno nodded, looking for a switch. He found it. Frowning a little as the button look like an ordinary on/off switch, he flipped it. He heard the end crackle with electricity. "Watch where you point that thing." Rude warned him. Reno found a little lever next to the switch. What the hell does this do? He used his thumb to draw the level towards him. Letting it go, the lever sprung back, releasing a ball of lightning from the end. It shot towards the older Turk. He jumped out of the way of the energy as it turned a table, that was near to the bald man, to dust. Reno's gaze looked from the nightstick to the table a couple of times before Rude's voice interrupted him. "I told you to watch what you was doing with it."

"I didn't know it had that much kick in it." He stared at it once more. "Can I have this?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Adrienne walked slightly behind the man known as Tseng. The silence was deafening. She'd taken to looking at her fingernails, which she noticed had muck under them. She frowned and started to pick underneath them.

"So you're Scarlet's daughter?" Tseng asked her. He made the girl jump a little. She let her arms fall to her sides.

"Yes sir." She said softly.

"You don't have to call me sir Adrienne. Tseng will be fine." She smiled a little and nodded. "So what was a pretty young girl like you doing in SOLDIER?" She blushed at the comment.

"I.... just didn't want to be one of the girls who screams at anything. It seemed like a good idea when I started to train." She said quietly. He smiled.

"There's nothing wrong with that." She looked at the floor.

"How long you been a Turk then? If you don't mind me asking."

"About five or six years." Her eyes widened.

"Wow that's..."

"A long time right?" He interrupted. "It doesn't feel that long actually." They carried on walking down the corridor. "I heard a rumour going around that you've gotten engaged." The girls eyes widened again.

"Where did you..."

"Your mother has been telling anyone she comes across." Addy scowled.

"I'll kill her." She mumbled. Tseng let out a chuckle.

"To whom may I ask?"

"Your other new Turk." She smiled slightly. The older Turk smiled with her.

"I wish you good luck then." Adrienne looked a little taken back by the comment but replied.

"Thank you." She smiled. Tseng stopped, pushing a door open. Inside was a little storage room. One side of it shelves, different items of clothing resided on them. On the other side of the room was a curtain. Tseng walked in and began rummaging through each shelf. He found a white shirt he thought to be the woman's size and threw it to her. She caught it. He repeated the process with a pair of trousers, a jacket, a tie and some boots. Addy looked at the heal on the boots. "How come I get heals?" Tseng shrugged.

"It's always been that way." He pushed the girl to where the curtain was.

"Ok I'm going." She pulled the curtain around her. Tseng looked as the curtain kept moving as the girl got changed. "Stupid shirt." She muttered. Tseng smiled and shook his head. "Ack! Stupid tie." She mumbled again before drawing the curtain back, still fumbling with the tie. He shook his head again.

"Give me the tie." She passed him the object. He put it round his own neck and began tying it. When he finished he gave it back to the girl. "Just tighten it now." She smiled.

"Thanks. I've never done a tie in my life." Tseng chuckled.

"You had no reason to before so why bother to learn." He looked at the girl who was now dressed in the navy blue uniform of the Turks. "I think the suit agrees with you." She looked at herself.

"The shoes don't though." He chuckled.

"I can't do anything about the shoes." He looked at his own feet. "Unless you want to wear men's shoes." She cringed.

"I'll deal with the heals."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

An hour later the four of them were back in the Vice President's office. Rufus looked at the two new recruits, now both dressed in their uniform, their weapons put away on a belt they'd be given. Reno had the nightstick while Addy had a whip. Rufus took a double take at the red head. He raised an eyebrow.

"Does your shirt really need to be out like that?" He asked. Reno grinned.

"Hell yeah. You think I'd have it in?" Rufus sighed.

"You have a point." He mumbled. "Ok then." He smiled at the both of them. "Welcome to the Turks."
