Final Fantasy VII

My December

By: AngelTigerBaby

Author's Notes: I don't own Final Fantasy, It's owned by squaresoft, the turks, Reno, Elena, Rufus Shinra, Tseng, any and all FF7 characters are all property of Squaresoft, but Angel's MINE! =) Feels good to say I own a character.

Chapter 1: The Beginning Of the End

Angel listened unintently to Rufus Shinra, The President of Shinra power company. His words echoing through her head with no apparant reason to her. It was the same every mission, he would find some flaw and turn it into a giant disaster...

"You fucked it all up again Angel!!" He yelled at her. "...How, Might I ask, did the mission not turn out a sucsess? We finished the assasination with no problems, and Reno and Elena handled the remaining witnesses." She replied in an unintrested tone. "You killed Don Corneo is why!" He shot back at her, his blonde hair dropping around his face, and his eyes flaming in rage.

"Point being?" Angel replied, her hair hanging around her face in black, blonde, and brown strands. Her green eyes locked onto Rufus' anger filled eyes, her typical Turk's drab of a blue suit throwing off the impression that she looked decent in uniform.

A hiss filled her voice as she continued. "He let Cloud, Aeris and Tifa in on all the information." Angel continued on, showing no fear of Rufus and Dark Nation. Rufus brushed his hair out of his face with one hand and glared at her.

"I guess you are right for once, your mission is a sucsess. You're dismissed." Rufus finished. Once again, Angel had won bragging points, and the ability to tell the Turks that she had won yet another argument against Rufus. As she walked out, she heard him cursing under his breath for some unknown reason, perhaps because once again, the female turk had beat him in an argument. Or maybe because of a secret reason, she knew it was involving her though.. Ever since that day..

Reno clutched his glass full of a wine cooler and listened to Angel's remake of the arguement that had happened about 30 minutes ago, idly sipping some of the drink now and then. It was his off day after all. "I think you need to shut up already Angel.. "One of these days you're gonna be whining about how you never shoulda married him blah blah, and I'll be sippin' on a bacardi and laughing at you." Reno teased Angel, he loved to annoy her just to get her started, her eyes flashed angrily. "RENO YOU LITTLE PUNK!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, but she wasn't about to reveal liking Reno in the least bit, she knew he could figure it out, but she wouldn't allow him to get the pleasure of having her intrested in him.

He turned his gaze away from her for a second to look at the opening steel door, a new 'creation' of Shinra's. He looked at the terrified turk in the eyes, she was shaking, blonde bangs framing her face, blood was pouring from several deep cuts in her arm, added into being by her suit being torn and bloody as if something had cut it. "H-H-He's a Psychopath..." Elena said, shaking still. "...Let me take a rough guess, you found Hojo's new experiments?" Angel said, looking at the girl with extreme hatred. She just nodded quietly and looked at Reno, who shook his head in disqust. "I warned you about being nosy Elena.." Reno said quietly.

Angel glared down Elena and approached slowly but with enough rage built up to make any intellegent person turn and run. Elena just looked at Angel as she walked towards the blonde turk. "...WHY are you being such a wuss for god's sakes?" Angel growled to her. "...Huh?" Elena blinked idiotically. "..You heard me." Angel said with that soft voice she usually gets before turning into a raging yelling psycho. "I-I-I'm sorry ma'am..." Elena shuddered in the shadow of the 5'7 girl. Reno watched intently and paid 3 gil for a bag of popcorn from the bar worker. Once it was delivered he ate a handful and intently listened to the two girls. "You're a turk..turks aren't afraid of Hojo's...whatever they are..." Angel said, just loud enough for Reno to hear.

"Wrong answer babe...I'm not going near that pscyho's monsters." Reno said under his breath. Angel slapped Elena across the face and it made enough noise to turn every employee's head in the lounge. Elena just held her cheek with one hand, eyes watering, and bit her lower lip, everyone knew Angel was the queen in the turks, and Elena hated that, she wanted to take over, but it was obvious that wouldn't happen soon. She whispered something that scared the living crap out of Elena into her ear, that even if Angel died, she would rise up from the grave to kick Elena's ass should she dare to take Angel's position in the turks. By this time Reno had finished his wine cooler and bag of popcorn, so he stood up, trying to convince Angel to calm down.

Angel pulled her hand back for one last blow but her arm was caught by Tseng, who turned her around and looked her dead in the eyes. "What, exactly, are you doing to this girl?" Tseng said quietly. "...Teaching her to be tough." Angel replied venomously. "Beating the crap out of her is teaching her to be tough? Damn...I taught that spikey headed blonde ex-SOLDIER to be tough...That sucks.." Reno said, getting in his two cents. Angel just glanced at Reno and elbowed him in the side to shut him up, hoping it would work, unfortunatly though, it didn't. "Hey, watch it, lest you want me to hit you back." Reno shot at her. "Didn't your momma ever teach you any respect?" Angel hissed back, ignoring Tseng's presence.

"Angel, I think you need some time off, you have an attitude problem forming." Tseng told her. Angel growled and began to talk again, showing no fear of higher authority. "I don't need a vacation or anything else for that matter, and I don't need the Turks!" Angel said, beginning to walk off. "Rather fussy, eh?" Reno said. "Yeah..." Tseng replied, watching Angel's retreating figure and listening to the echoing footsteps, followed by the automatic doors slamming shut.

****************************

Angel stepped out into the field just north of sector 5 in midgar. She felt the wind blowing in her hair and listened to the call of the beasts that had been created. This was her safe haven, the land was hers, and the adventures here were endless, she wasn't a mindless drone working for Shinra, she was an adventurer ready for anything. And to do so, she had changed her outfit, denim shortshorts, a bikini top, parts of her bikini bottom (string bikini I might add) showing from her shorts, she wore black high heeled boots, her bikini was also black, with blue outlining it. She wore a belt with several pouches, a pack of materia equipped into each of her dual blades, and materia dropped into the slots on her Angel Bangle, the ultimate armor she had.

Her skills had improved greatly, and yet she held only 2nd level materia in her weapons and armor. She huffed and walked along, feeling the wind brush her face gently and send her hair blowing behind her. She thought softly about Reno, wondering what he was doing, even if he did piss her off she still liked him. Suddenly she felt a chill beside her, then heard a strong yet soft feminine voice, the voice of a goddess, Shiva whispered to her master, "Is something wrong mistress? You seem stressed." As she circled Angel and played with her hair. "..No...nothing's wrong, just the usual difficulties, ya know what I mean?" She replied to the summon. "Yes, yes indeed, did Ifrit try another fart on you? I mean, I know how annoying he gets whilst around Reno." Shiva replied, twirling her mistress' hair around her finger gently. "No, but it does involve Reno." Angel said back to Shiva, who was now braiding Angel's hair.

"Ah, love problems mistress? I can fix that, I have high touches with the goddesses of love." Shiva replied. "...I don't think even the highest powers of love could fix this." Angel replied, stricken in realization of what was going on. But was it true that he was in love with Elena? She couldn't figure it all out, he seemed to like her, but what about Elena? He also flirted with her..She felt sad, yet happy...She couldn't really decide between the two. She would be happy if Elena and Reno got together because Reno would be happy, but she would be sad if he denied her..

The wind blew against her body, sending a chill up her spine for some reason. She could feel something wrong, suddenly Shiva gasped and let go of her mistress' hair. This wasn't normal for Midgar, the air was usually warm...then again, below in the sectors, nobody is sure wether or not it's warm or cold.. She suddenly heard a voice behind her..Reno's voice.

"Angel, boss called, we got another--" He trailed off as he looked at her in her adventuring outfit, amazed that she wasn't in uniform. "Where's your uniform Angel? You're not off duty.." Reno said to Angel, not minding one bit that she wasn't in uniform obviously. "...At my home Reno, I'm on vacation, remember?" She replied back angrily, turning to face him, at this time Shiva disappeared, deciding not to make herself noticable by the object of Angel's affection.

Reno looked at her, not saying a word. "It was Tseng's bright idea, while we're at it, why don't we talk about who should be fired, I'm sure I'm the number one idea." Angel continued, making sure her voice had the typical vicious hiss she got only when angered. "Angel, it's just because you were going to beat the crap out of Elena, we don't have the time to deal with that." Reno replied to her. "Yeah, typical, don't have time for Angel do ya?" She shot back. "It's not that Angel!!" He yelled back. "Whatever, just leave me alone." Angel said then started to walk off. "Angel! Wait! I'm not finished talking to you!!!" Reno yelled after her. At this she brought up the typical middle finger, then kept walking. Reno watched her, feeling defeated

and knowing he shouldn't have gotten into that arguement they just had, but still feeling that he needed to talk to her and straighten out her whole 'Shinra Turks Bitch' attitude that she had right now.

Angel just continued onwards, not hearing the yell from Reno, and the ambush that Sephiroth had just let loose upon him. Shiva reappeared by her mistress, worried. "Mistress, Reno's in trouble..." Shiva informed Angel. "So? He's a big boy, he can handle it. Or so he says anyways." She replied annoyed. Shiva frowned at her mistress' attitude. "Angel, I know you're mad at him, but what if whatever's attacking him might kill him? Then what'll you do? I know you love him, even if you're pissed at him..." Shiva replied. "Don't call me Angel, I'm your master, you don't refer to me by my name, and personally, I don't give a damn what tries to kill him! I may even help it!!!" Angel snapped to her summon. "But...Mistress..." Shiva said.

Meanwhile....

Reno struggled against Hojo's latest creation, a SOLDIER with silver hair, and evil eyes..the mako infused eyes that were the trademark of Shinra's SOLDIERs. He slammed his nightstick against the enemy's face as hard as he could, and watched as the electricity shocked the human. But for some reason it didn't seem to hurt him. Reno's eyes widened as suddenly he was slammed to the ground by the monster's hilt of his blade. He watched Sephiroth raise the blade up and begin to bring it down rapidly, but Reno rolled to the side, making the blade miss his head by an inch. As he got up, Reno clenched his nightstick tightly and this time aimed for Sephiroth's hand, if he could get the warrior to drop the sword that was instantly recognized as the Masamune, while muttering the words "damnit...this is irritating..." Reno slammed his nightstick into Sephiroth's hand, instead of his plan working, Sephiroth brought his blade up while Reno lunged, sinking the blade deep into Reno's shoulder, and the blade coming out the other side.

Reno shouted in pain and tightened his grip on the nightstick and took aim for Sephiroth's hand, hoping that once Sephiroth let go of the blade, he could get it out of his shoulder, once the nightstick hit Sephiroth's hand, he just laughed and twisted the blade, making the wound larger, and Reno yell out in pain. Sephiroth drew the Masamune back out of Reno's shoulder and kicked Reno in the chest, sending him backwards to the ground, Reno's nightstick flew out of his hand just out of reach, between him and Sephiroth. Getting up as fast as he could, Reno lunged for the nightstick, but once he got his hand on it, Sephiroth's booted foot came down onto Reno's hand, crushing it between the weight of Sephiroth and the steel and cloth handle of his nightstick.

Reno looked up into Sephiroth's eyes, gritting his teeth to avoid letting his pain show, and watched as the Masamune pulled up into the air, then cut through the air, heading straight for Reno's back....

That's it for now, Please Read and Rate, I Know Reno's a tad off character but it all follows the

main feel of the story. If the readers like this, please tell me so I know to continue my work on chapter 2. Thanks
