"I hate you!"

"I hate you more!"
"Yeah, well, I hate you most!"

"God you are so childish!"

"Ugh!"

And then they kissed in a tight, passionate embrace. This is the way it was for Yuffie and Reno. One second they were about to kill each other and then the next they couldn't keep their hands off of one another. Their opinions of one another changed one night soon after the Turks had been assigned to Wutai. Godo needed some "help" in some personal matters and the Turks were the best at what they did. Even though Godo disliked Reno, he still invited the Turks to the Festival of the Pagoda, since they were guests and Godo did like Vincent, for his protection of Yuffie. It was a formal affair and they all had to dress up, Reno even tucked in his shirt! He had sat down at their table, and started checking out the women, when his eyes widened in shock. Yuffie was coming down the stairwell with her father. She wore a form-fitting dark green shimmering dress that set off her dark eyes nicely. She no longer looked like an immature teenager, but like a woman. Reno nearly wet himself. The idyll was broken when she nearly tripped on one of the last steps, reminding him that she was only 17, almost 18. Still that image of her stuck in his head, and it bothered him. He was a huge womanizer and there was never a woman he couldn't get, if he wanted her. And he wanted Yuffie, but not just on a physical level. She got to him, bad. He asked her to dance, and just when she was about to say no, she saw the look on her father's face, a look of disapproval. So the dance led to a drink, which led to a walk. Both of them noticed Shake was following them, but Yuffie thought she had lost him when she led Reno through the spiritual Gardens of the Dao Chu. She stopped on a little bridge, overlooking the tiny stream, which flowed through the garden.

"It's nice to see you not be such a pest," said Reno.

"And you not to be such a jerk," Yuffie replied.

"Hey, I am not a jerk!"

"You are so!"

"Come here!"

Reno started to chase after Yuffie. She screamed. Reno caught up to her and grabbed her but they had so much momentum that they fell over the bridge.

"Ahhh! You jerk!" screamed Yuffie as she emerged from the cool water.

Reno jumped her again and soon was on top of her holding her by her wrists and his legs straddling her so she couldn't move the lower half of her body. She squirmed all she could, but she couldn't escape from him.
"Get off of me," Yuffie grunted.

Reno could only laugh.

Yuffie growled.

And then Reno looked down into her eyes and was over come with his emotions. He bent down and kissed her. At first Yuffie was shocked but soon she felt her body relax and kissed Reno back. He let go of her wrists and instead put his hands on the back of her head and neck, Yuffie did the same.

Yuffie pulled away.

"Ha!"

She pushed on his chest, which forced him backwards. He tumbled off her. She immediately got up, but didn't go very far. Reno had gotten hold of her leg and she plunged back in the mud. Reno tried to straddle her again but this time she managed to get on top of Reno. She kissed him. They continued this behavior for a couple more minutes until Shake finally appeared.

He cleared his throat to make himself known.

Yuffie looked up and blushed, while Reno only smiled. She walked up to Shake who escorted her home. She looked back at Reno and stuck out her tongue, and Reno, in reply, winked at her. She turned around and smiled. She never imagined that something like that could happen.

"Get a room," exclaimed Rude, when he entered the room where Reno and Yuffie were making out.

And with that, the sweet memories of the start of their relationship were vanished from Yuffie's mind.

Yuffie and Reno separated immediately and they went to separate sides of the sofa.

"Yuffie, do you mind, I have some important business to discuss with Reno?"

"No, I have to get going anyway." She looked back at Reno. "Bye."

"Don't forget about tonight."

"Ugh! I can't believe you're taking me somewhere where I to get dressed up."

"Well, I am. And it's expensive so I better get my money's worth."

"I'm not your personal hooker!"

"Yeah, I don't pay you all the time."

"You asshole!" And Yuffie ran out of his apartment and slammed the door.

"You know, you have a funny way of treating women."

"No, only her."

"You better watch it. She might just come to her senses one day and leave you."

"I hope not. I don't know, Rude, there's something about her. She's different than most women I've been with. I care for her, I may not show it, but I do."

"I know and that's what worries me."

There was a long silence.

"So anyway, what was this important business that you made you interrupt us? We were getting close, one of these days it's going to happen."

"Sure keep telling yourself that. Why don't you just go get some young thing to alleviate your horniness?"

"You know I can't do that!"

"Wow, Reno. I never thought I'd see you as a one-woman man."

"Yeah. It's interesting."

"Anyway, there has been sightings of a young man with long silver hair down in Junon."

"It's couldn't be!"

"I don't know, but we need to check it out. I don't want another meteor coming around; it was bad for business. With people all running around, there was no need for our services. And I thought we could use some help from your new acquaintances."

"Cloud and Avalanche are not my friends. Just because I'm with Yuffie doesn't mean I like her friends."

"Well we need them and we need your connections."

"Fine, I'll discuss it with her tonight."

"Good, well I have a appointment."

"Bye Rude."

"Bye."

Rude walked out of Reno's apartment with a worried look on his face. This situation was getting bad. Sephiroth back...He didn't even want to think about it. He never did mention the rumors about the re-emergence of a mad scientist to Reno.
