Chapter 5
"When all hope is lost, there is still a circle, that circle is life..." - Angel
Past, Present, Future... Part II
Aka: I Just want to Thank you
Angel snapped from her flashback, her thoughts echoing dully through her head as she thought about what had happened before this, Rufus..Shinra Inc's head honcho, falling for her. Her betrayal to him and that ever hurt look in his eyes when he saw her each day that she worked for Shinra's elite. That look that meant that what she had done to him had been worse than death. Looking at Reno, being the slightly ignorant yet ever loveable slob he was to her, she thought about when they had been talking at her new apartment.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Reno's eyes fell to the bottom of the short dress. "Little short ain't it?" "..Oh? I thought that you wanted all of Shinra's elite women to be scantilly clad sluts." "That's Scarlet's job." "Oh well." At this Angel took a step out of the bathroom, revealing herself to be in a white dress with a halter strap in a diamondlike design around her neck. White high heels clicked against the floor as Tseng arose from the couch, stretching with catlike reflexes that had been fine tuned over his years as a turk. Her eyes arose from the ground as she straightened her dress slightly. "..So?" "So?" "How do I look?" "Like a slum rat turned into a high paid professional." "Cut the crap Tseng, good or bad?" "Good. I think you may pass for normal." "Oh fuck off." "Foul mouthed aren't we?" "Yes, I am." "Well, time to train." "Train me? I'm a monkey or animal or something now?" "Yeah, you're a slum rat." "Oh, well gee thanks. Nice to know your opinion. Not always welcome though." "..Anyways. Reno, we're going to train her on proper etiquette." At this sentence, Reno's absentminded face turned into one of shock.
He brushed some of his red bangs from his eyes and looked at Tseng as if he'd just said something either completely stupid or completely funny. "..Like you trained me?" "No. She can escape." "Oh, So she won't get the leash treatment?" "No, Reno, I have my doubts she could take it." "Take what?" "Nothing." "..Tell me now!" Tseng just rolled his eyes and gestured to Reno, who put his arm in the proper position for a girl to put her arm through his. "Now, Put your arm through and walk." Angel screwed up her face and rolled her eyes, doing exactly as told, and then tripping and falling due to her clumsiness, Reno falling with her since he tried to catch her mid fall. Both turks lay on the floor, irritated. Angel sitting on Reno's leg and attempting to stifle a laugh while Tseng rolled his eyes.
Reno pushed her off and looked at Tseng. "This may take awhile to do you know?" "Yes. That's why we're spending the next 2 hours doing it." "WHAT?!" "Reno, in case you forgot the ball is tonight." "No, I didn't.." "And we have to have this.." He gestured at Angel, who flipped him off. "This GIRL, ready to dance with Rufus. We don't need an embarassing slum rat girl, we need a polite young woman who is capable of keeping herself from falling every time she gets clumsy." At this Tseng grimaced and Reno rubbed his leg, realizing there was a bruise arising on it. His face still had a few scractches and a cut decorated the side of his face, obviously soon to be a scar. A bruise also showed on his arm, where he had rolled up the sleeves of the white dress shirt since he had made himself at home.
Angel looked at Reno curiously, "Avalanche, right?" "Yeah..." "...You killed thousands." "It's my job." "Thousands of innocents died." "Avalanche caused it." "Blame it on them, not Shinra, no, never Shinra, you'll go wherever there's money, and keep your mouth shut and do as your told." Tseng raised an eyebrow, looking at her and thinking about her new outburst of feelings. "I beg to differ on that." Tseng said, looking at Reno, who was still cringing from the bruise on his leg. "What's the worst he did? Jaywalk?" "Lots worse than that." "What? Be the boss's lapdog?" "Nope, even worse." "Lemme guess, you parked in a fire zone." "Hell no. Too light. I came from the same place as you babe, and I'm not afraid of rules. Hell, I haven't seen anyone with as much spirit as you since I was forced into the ranks." "Oh, cry me a river." "And to think we're stuck as partners." "Damn the luck, I'm stuck with your ass." "Yep, ain't it a bitch?" After talking, Reno flashed a toothy grin at her and adjusted his goggles after noticing they were falling out of place. Angel rolled her eyes and sat down, irritated, then got pushed back up by Tseng. His hands placed firmly behind her back, he gave her a gentle shove that was just hard enough to send her up to a standing position. "Ah ah ah, you have to train." "Damn you."
-------------------------------------------------
She realized that she had been standing on the beach for about 30 minutes, then her thoughts also told her that she didn't care how long she had been sitting there. Mikala and Andrew ran up and down the beach, laughing, giggling and screaming. Elena had left up to the beach house again, and Reno had obviously gotten changed into some normal everyday clothes, if you could call them that. She hadn't seen him looking this unprofessional since the night they had been training at her apartment. He wore his shirt with the sleeves rolled up partially, and some wrinkled navy blue suit pants. Typical attire for a turk, but he carried a pack slung over one shoulder, and Angel's slung over the other. His red hair was soaking wet and framing his face smoothly, she looked at him with her green eyes and felt yet another flashback coming on as she looked at him, realizing what this memory was about.
---------------------------------------------------
Rufus took her hand in his gently and kissed it, his blue eyes meeting her green eyes. "Angelina Lockheart." He said lightly, realizing that she didn't want to be here and would rather slap him than dance with him. 'Very expressive eyes.' Rufus thought to himself as he could read all of this just by looking at her. "Rufus Shinra." She said, returning the mind reading expression and attempting to worm her way into his confused thoughts. Her high heels clicked as she walked out onto the dance floor, Rufus right beside her, and putting a hand on her hip then holding her hand in his other hand as he felt her hand grasp his shoulder gently. The song changed once more as they began to dance, a gentle melody, followed by a guitar.
~ My tea's gone cold, I'm wondrin why I got out of bed at all, The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all, And even if I could it'd all be gray but your picture on my wall, It reminds me that it's not so bad, It's not so bad ~
Rufus locked eyes with her, "So, you came after all." "Not by popular choice. Reno and Tseng said this would help me get a raise." "Oh they did, did they?" Rufus said, glancing over at Reno especially, knowing that Tseng would only agree so Reno would shut up. Reno was being his typical self, clutching a wine cooler in one hand and talking to a girl with blonde hair who was about 17 at the time, she wore a fancy sparkling silverish blue dress and her hair was in an upsweep, her makeup seemed to have been done by professionals who did it for a living.
She flashed a smile as Reno said something and began to laugh, while Angel returned hers and Rufus' attention from the girl back to one another. "I want more money for this." "You haven't even been hired." "Yes I have." "Who said that?" "Reno's my sponsor." "....I always knew he'd do something dumb with that power..." "..WHAT?!" "Nothing. But you haven't been hired yet, I need to be bribed." "How?" "Just finish this dance and I'm bribed." "Right.." Angel said, making sure she was dancing as she had been taught. Her heels clicked on the floor and she saw a firmiliar face as she looked over, A male with brown eyes and black short and spiked hair, wearing a Shin-ra higher up uniform with his arm around the girl who was talking to Reno.
Rufus looked at her and realized something was wrong immedeitly, "Anything wrong?" "No.. I have to go though." Angel said, breaking free of Rufus and leaving the dance floor without so much as a goodbye as the Shinra stood in the middle of the floor surrounded by dancing couples, alone by himself. Her heels clicked as she was half walking, half jogging to her destination, she snatched the wine cooler from Reno's hand and soaked the face of the guy who was there. "Matthew you ASSHOLE!" "Angel?!" Matthew said, stunned partially from shock of seeing her at the shinra ball, and partially from the wine cooler in his face. "Who is this?!" Elena asked, looking wideeyed at the angered new turk. "Better question! WHO'RE YOU?!" "I'm his GIRLFRIEND!" "BACK OFF BITCH! I WAS HERE FIRST!" "Excuse me?! YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT?!" "I damn sure do! You don't need to be fucking my men!" "I'M SHOCKED!" "Yeah? So'm I! I leave the slums and this bastard gets a blonde whore so he can get a blowjob!" At this, Angel was escorted away by Reno, forcing the fight to an end.
--------- Angel's Apartment, Later that night ------------
~I drank too much last night, Got bills to pay, My head just feels in pain, I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again, And even if I'm there they'll all imply that I might not last the day, And then you called me, and it's not so bad, it's not so bad.... ~
Angel was sitting on her couch, crying, and not noticing Reno walking into the apartment. He looked at her and frowned, wondering why she had seemed so pissed then got so sad in the same 2 minute period. "Angel, you okay?" "Do..Do I LOOK okay?!" "Well, it was a dumb question, excuse me!" "...It's alright.." Angel said, keeping her head lowered so her now messed up looking hair fell around her face. She felt a hand on her shoulder and someone sitting down on the couch beside her, "Angel, listen..." "What?" "He didn't deserve you..." "How many girls have you said that to?" "Lots, I practice." "Can tell." "Hey, I'm not that bad." "Yeah you are.." Angel said, leaning her face into the couch pillow.
Reno sighed, putting an arm around her shoulder. "If it's any consolation, I think you should go back to the dance." "With who? Scarlet's probably all over Rufus right now." "Well..I had an idea.." At this, Reno's blue eyes sparkled slightly. "What're you thinking?" "A dance." "With who?" "..Well, it all depends on if you agree with my idea." "...what idea?" "Angelina Lockheart, Allow me to escort you to the dance..." Reno said, taking her hand and making his best mock rich voice he could muster, causing Angel to giggle slightly and stand up. "Why sir, I would be honored!" She said, mocking one of the snobs she had seen on the plate. Both were laughing as she hugged him and said thanks.
---------Shin-Ra Ballroom-----------
~And I....want to thank you, for giving me the best day of my life, Oohh, just to be with you, Is having the best day of my life.. ~
Angel realized she had been right about Rufus, he had been with Scarlet now, they were dancing and Scarlet made sure she could be slutty as ever. Reno walked with the girl out to the ballroom and had thoughts echoing through his head like, 'Why am I doing this?' or 'God, normally I'd be with an easy girl who's good for about 15 minutes of pleasure...why her?' His hand dropped to her waist as her hand sat lightly on his shoulder, both of them with fingers entwined in the other's hand as they danced. 'He's good at this..oddly enough...' Angel thought as she matched Reno's steps across the ballroom floor.
~Push the door I'm home at last, And I'm soaking through and through, And then you handed me a towel, And all I see is you, And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue, Because you're near me....~
Reno pulled her closer to him after spinning her, they were practically face to face with one another and could feel each other's breath as they danced, fireworks erupted overhead that were visible through the clear glass roof, with murmurs of "Ooh.." and "Aah.." as it lit up the ballroom in various colors, making the view of the ballroom absolutely stunning since the lights had went out. Angel leaned her head against his shoulder and Reno felt the warm liquid of her tears sinking through his shirt and jacket shoulder, and put his face to her hair and by her ear. "Reno..." "What?" "Thank you..." "For what?" "For...for everything...." "...Angel.." "Wha?" "You don't need to thank me.." "..Yes I do." "No, you don't.. You never have to thank me.."
~And I....want to thank you, For giving me the best day of my life, Oooh, just to be with you, Is having the best day of my life....~
---------------------------------------------------
A smile crossed Angel's face as she was remembering those days, when her and Reno were so close. But now he was back to normal, a coldhearted man who barely ever smiled and was always buisnesslike. He didn't worry about what others thought about this trait of his, all he thought about was being able to get the job done and get a paycheck. He walked out and put a hand on her shoulder, then shook her out of thought. "Hey, Angel, you gotta get ready to go!" "Right.." Angel said, turning and going to the beach house.
-------------------------5 Minutes Later----------------------------
Angel's green eyes searched the beach as she saw him..Reno, he was standing in the water quietly as waves stirred. The wind went still and silent, the waves roaring, it got clouded overhead with huge black thunderclouds. A wave arose in front of Reno, and she yelled out an unaudible "Look out!" as she ran for the beach, water splashed around her ankles as she saw Reno turn and grin, his blue eyes pleased at her attempts as he reached out a hand, then everything went insane. The water pulled Angel under with it's force, she opened her eyes and realized that she was too far from the top to make it up alive with her only breath, her heartbeat slowed more and more..then, when she couldn't hold her breath anymore, she opened her mouth......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Note: Alright, now, we know more about Angel's past, did Reno and Angel have a relationship before? Hmmm..lemme think on that. Anyways, now, I hope you reviewers are happy, it's continued. ^.^ And I will keep continuing if ya'll want me to, lemme know if you want me to or not. I added Dido's song in here as well. I thought it added to the feel of the dance, especially the way things went around the end of that ballroom scene, will Angel live or die? Let's think on that one too. 'TILL NEXT TIME! PEACE!
