Thank you for all those who reviewed… I greatly appreciate that! It inspired me a lot! . so here is the next chapter… and please review! I need the motivation…

Claudia drove up to a nice, clean, old house. It was in the middle of an ancient neighborhood. 'I CANT BELIVE YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS! YOU WILL MURDER YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR THESE MANIACS!', Claudia's mind was screaming for her to stop.

In pure depression Claudia started bashing her head on the thin steering wheel, sobbing softly. Rude, who felt sympathy for the young strawberry blond put his hand on her knee. Reno started rubbing her back; trying to calm her nerves. Tseng, who felt concerned for the petite girl, started to say something comforting, but found that there was nothing to say about the current events.

When Claudia finally calmed down she looked up, and started to laugh! The remaining Turks, looked at each other in confusion. Claudia started to claw her wrist, while laughing like a maniac! Rude noticed what the crazed woman was doing, and started to pry her hand from her inflamed wrist.

Several long minutes passed, the laughter stopped, and Claudia said in a soft whisper that was softer than the wind, "you better get out… or she will wonder who is in my car..."

The three men just nodded, and opened the car door, and hid out of sight. Claudia sighed, and started to apply her only form of make-up… lip-gloss. When the pale girl found herself presentable, she got out of the car, and knocked on the door, as if it where an ordinary visit.

A few seconds later, the door swung open, and a very attractive Wutian woman wearing a black skirt, and a red shirt; jumped forward and hugged Claudia.

"Claudia! Wow… you are so pretty! Hey… did you get the job? Did you meet an attractive man? How far did you get? I want details damn it!" the woman practically yelled.

"Lets go inside, Nina… then I will give you the details of my non-existent relationship." Claudia said as she stepped inside, the woman known as Nina followed.

When Reno was sure that the girls went inside, and heard the door close, he grabbed Rude, and walked to a window that was the kitchen's window, and he could hear Claudia talking, "- and he is so hot! I mean he is… but he would never ever be interested in me, and probably has better things to do… and if we ever got together it would just be a one-night thing. I could already tell. I don't know… but he makes me feel so strange sometimes… like I have a huge wound in my stomach, and it tingles. I don't know what to think…"

Reno looked over to Rude and Tseng, who where looking at him. He could tell Rude was thinking hard about what Claudia was saying. They knew as well as anyone else that Claudia was talking about Reno. "What?!" Reno mouthed. 'C'mon, I have that affect on all of the female population! Is it a crime?' the red head thought amused. Rude was disgusted at his best friends nightly habits, 'I could be a far better mate than he would ever be… but she knows what Reno would do to her.' Rude thought sadly, as he watched the two girls retreated into the living room.

The three men ran over to the window of the living room, and saw Claudia's hands twitching in her lap, as she talked of the lazy secretary, "there is this secretary at my work… and you know how my size is about a double D. right? Well this lady had half of her chest for everyone to see, and she has about… maybe a C cup. Well, when she found out I was working there, and she is deciding to get breast enlargements! God… how slutty is that?"

"Wow… that is slutty! I never thought there was such a slutty thing in the world! I am in awe…" Nina said amazed.

"Yeah… I know… uh… um… when is your son going to come back?" Claudia asked twitching. 'Oh god… oh god… please let her say a few days…'

"Oh… a few days… he is going on a trip with his friends family, the Gold Saucer I believe. They offered to pay for Marc too! That made me love the family even more… teaching him manners was worth the time." The women said lovingly.

"Who would he go to if something? God forbid… err happened to you?"

"He would live with his friends… no way in hell would marc live with his father, as you know is a two timing son of a bitch!" Nina said clenching her teeth.

"Yeah… um… you know… I think I'll go to the kitchen, and get an apple or something… I will only be a minute." Claudia said, getting up from her comfortable chair.

When the strawberry blonde got up, Rude ran to the other side of the house, and watched her began to look through the knives. 'So beautiful… I am truly sorry you must go through this… I know the first kill is always so hard just be strong…' Rude thought as she looked at a long serrated blade, that she tested its sharpness on herself. When she saw it gave blood into her sight with the slightest prick, she slid the knife down her shirt, wincing at the pain it caused, in her bra.

"Guess who I ran into when I was shopping a few weeks ago?" Claudia yelled as she gathered cloths from the counters.

"Who?" Nina asked, looking up from examining her perfect black nails.

"That pilot guy that lives in Rocket Town. His name is Cid Highwind. He was arguing with some guy on weather there would be a man into space or not! As we all know, from being best friends, and dating him in High School, he wants desperately to be the first man into space." Claudia said casually.

"Yeah… he always wanted to be the first for every thing… and he got one thing to be the first at! You remember Claudie?" Nina said laughing.

"Yeah I remember that! That was fun! He was pretty good too! But I think you warmed him up, Nina!" Claudia yelled back jokingly

"yeah… I guess I did… and he was pretty good when I got him too! Maybe he is just good by nature!" the other woman called.

Claudia came into the room with a sad expression on her face, and said, "don't you ever wish you could just die when you think about the past? Cause I do… you know how my mother was… she was religious. You know what I grew up with… I would have to wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning every day for bible study, and shit, it didn't matter if you where over, or if I was over at your house. I was never allowed to go to your parties, and the only way I got to be with all my guy friends was school, and I don't know how I was able to have fun with Cid either… but if I had to re-live my past… I would kill myself… I am serious… and if my mother found out my job… I would be dead…"

"I enjoyed my childhood… the only thing I hated was your misery, and your mother. Hey remember when we thought you where pregnant, and we planned to run away? God if that was true… your mother would die! I kinda wish that she would die anyway… the old hag!" Nina said as she hugged her best friend.

"nina? Did I ever tell you what I do for my job?" Claudia asked scilently.

"no what is your job?"

"Nina, I'm a Turk…" Claudia said still hugging her best friend.
