Author's notes: Gomen for the delay on this chapter! And I'm really sorry to say that this chapter is not really that interesting! It's kinda of a filler in... I really didn't move forward with this...I've been uninspired lately... but I think that it still is an interesting chapter! So read on!

Interesting fact: Somebody finally asked me what Fukanou meant! Well, it's a Japanese word and it means Impossible. I do believe that the translation is correct! But I'm not so sure... anyways, I like the word and I think that the title kind of fits...

Tifa walked to her kitchen and opened the fridge. She took out the milk and closed the door behind her. Then she reached for a cup and poured some milk on it.

She sighed while sitting on one of the chairs near the table. What in the world was happening to her? How would Barret react when he found out that she was giving shelter to an ex-Turk?

Tifa shuddered at the mere thought. Well, he probably wouldn't find out anyway! I mean, this was just a one time thing, right?

She drank the rest of the cold milk and placed the cup on the sink filling it with water, or else it would be impossible to wash the next morning.

Then she turned out the kitchen lights and walked to the bathroom, yawning on her way in. She changed into her comfortable pajamas, which consisted in baggy, black flanel pants and a white tank top and, when she was finally ready, she went into her room, ready to go to sleep.

Upon entering her room, Tifa stoped dead on her tracks and stared at Reno, hands on her hips and a frown on her face.

She flicked the lights open and then closed them again. Then repeated the process a few times, finaly giving up and trowing her arms up in frustration.

"I give up!"

She stared at him again and was struggling between pushing him of the bed and kicking him of the bed. She finally decided that she would let him stay there because, honestly, she just didn't have the heart to wake him up. Not when he looked so much like a little boy anyway.

She scratched her head. Where would she sleep? Not on the floor! I mean, she was on her own house! She looked at Reno's sleeping form again. Oh what the heck! Was she going soft or something? She wouldn't let him sleep on her own bed while she had to sleep on the floor! That wouldn't happen!

She got up on the bed and sat on her knees, staring at the flame haired man. She smirked. "You're going down!" She cracked her knuckles and then started pushing him off the bed.

Judging by the fact that he was sleeping, one would think that this was a rather easy task, but that was not the case. Tifa sighed and tried to push him off once again.

"God damn it! Move!"

She tried everything! Kicking, pushing, taking the sheets of him, everything! Nothing worked. Now she was exhausted.

Reno was a heavy sleeper... or maybe he was just pretending to be asleep. "RENO!" she screamed. He didn't move one inch. Tifa growled.

"I've had it!"

She laied down on the bed, frustrated, and covered herself with the white sheets. Then the turned off the lights and closed her eyes, trying to ignore the fact that Reno was snoring right by her side.

Just as she was slipping into oblivion, into that wonderful place where you are still awake but almost asleep, she felt one strong arm around her waist.

Her eyes shoot open and she trashed around in her bed trying to find the light switch. She finally found it and stared at Reno, who still had his arm encircled around her.

"What the hell do you thing you're doing?" She asked him. No response. What the hell? Was he sleeping?

Tifa gave a frustrated sigh and pushed his arm off of her. Reno turned to the other side and gave a loud snort. "Idiot!" she muttered while turning off the lights and pulling the sheets up.

Again, Tifa was drifting of to sleeping land, her eyelids relaxed, a small smile of bliss forming in her lips as sleep claimed her small form, her soft pale hands curled up right next to her peaceful face, a strong arm around her waist, a warm body against her back, strands of red hair caressing her face, soft breathing on her neck, ... what the hell?

"RENO!"

Tifa's eyes shoot open once again and she tried to put on the lights, but this time she couldn't do it, she was almost trapped into Reno's embrace.

Tifa felt her cheeks warm. Was it anger, or something else?

"Reno get the hell away from me!"

She said as loud as she could. Her voice faltered a bit and she couldn't help to wonder why.

Tifa gave a frustrated sigh and decided that it was time to move on to some drastic measures. She elbowed him on the stomach!

"OUCH!" Oh yeah, that did the trick.

A smile of satisfaction crept onto her lips as she heard Reno growl in pain. Finally free of his embrace, Tifa reached out for the switch and turned the lights on.

"Damn it woman! Are you trying to kill me?"

Tifa smiled innocently and sat on the bed, facing Reno who had his hair all messed up and his eyes were still a little swollen from sleep.

"Well..." Tifa raised her hand to her chin. "That thought did cross my mind!"

Reno massaged his stomach and bent forward a little, trying to find a suitable position, or at least, a position where his stomach wouldn't be screaming in pain!

"What in the world possessed you to elbow me in the stomach?" He asked, confused.

Tifa's innocent expression changed to a angry one. "What? You were the one who was all over me!"

Reno's eyes opened wide and a smirk found his way to his lips. Tifa felt her face warm up a bit. What the hell was wrong with her? Was she beginning to have a fever?

"Damn I'm good!" He said with pride. Tifa stared at him in confusion. "I hit on girls even when I'm sleeping!"

He passed his hand on his hair and his smirk was a smirk filled with pride. He was the man! Then his expression turned into a confused one.

"If I was all over you, as you say, why didn't you woke me up? Did you really had to elbow me in the stomach, for Christ's sake?"

Tifa raised her arms high in the air. She was beginning to loose her patience. "I tried to wake you up! I tried everything! And I really mean everything! You sleep like a god damned rock!"

Reno seemed thoughtful for a moment. "Well, did you try waking me up with soft kisses or maybe with some caresses..."

Tifa made a loud 'Hmpf!' and crossed her arms. "You really think you're 'all that' don't you?" She asked him and a smirk crept onto his face once again.

"Well, yes!"

Talk about conceited. Tifa got up and stared at him, hands on her hips. "Get out."

Reno looked at her in confusion. "Get the hell out of my room!"

"But..." He started.

"Out!" She finished. Reno started grumbling and got up. Tifa opened her closet and took out a pillow and a blanket.

"Here." She gave him the items. "You can stay in the living room if you want. Of course that there's always the door if you don't like my house! Good night!"

She said angrily and closed the bedroom door on his face while he pouted, trying to earn his place in her bed again. "Bah!" He said. Then he walked into the living room and stared at the small couch.

"I won't fit in there..." Then he looked at the floor. "Oh, why not?" He laied down and covered himself with the blanket. Reno placed his arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling.

A small smile found it's way to his lips. He could still feel the warmth of her body against him... he could also feel the smell of coconut that came from her hair...

It definitly had payed to stay awake all that time...!

Meanwhile, Tifa was tossing and turning on her bed. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to sleep.

She still felt his strong arm around her waist, his muscular chest against her back and his soft breathing caressing her skin.

She shook her head trying to remove such ridiculous thoughts and trashed around some more. She turned to the other side and closed her eyes again.

Darn...

This side of the bed had his smell... Tifa gave an irritated sigh. This was definitely going to be a long night!

Tifa woke up with a tired yawn and stretched catlike on her big comfy bed! She sighed and a small smile crept his way up her lips. She didn't knew why, but this had to be one of the best nights in her whole life!

She couldn't remember when she felt so... what's the word again...? Safe, is it? Probably... she had felt totally safe this night! And she couldn't tell why... it was like there was this weird atmosphere, this strange air in her house that whispered in her ear that everything was okay and no harm would bestow her anymore...

She smiled and snuggled in the warm sheets again. It was probably still early so she could sleep in.

Oh how wrong she was! Not about being early, but about sleeping in... her guest, so to speak, decided that he had to do something to repay Tifa's kindness for letting him sleep in.

Reno decided that it was time for some cooking! Or at least to learn how to do it... He got up and went to the bathroom. He didn't took a bath because he didn't want to wake the owner of the house. He was preety sure she had a bad temper in the mornings and that was enough said.

He did his business and then, after washing his hands of course, walked over to the kitchen.

"Okay..." He scratched the back of his head and stared at the stove. "How in the world do you work...?"

He stood in silence for some moments, maybe trying to hear the stove's answer... but it never came.

Reno sighed and opened the fridge. "Let's see then... I could do an awesome breakfast! Some pancakes, or maybe some bacon and eggs... why I could even try to toast some bread!"

He smirked in satisfaction. Then his gaze fell upon the stove again. "That is if I learn how to work with you..."

He sighed once again and pushed his shirt's sleeves up. Then he took some eggs, bacon, milk and some other stuff that didn't go well with breakfast from the fridge.

He smirked once again and inhaled, puffing his chest with masculine pride. "I'll show why the best chefs are men!" He nodded and then stared at the ingredients again. He sighed and stared back at the stove.

"Right... now what?"

Tifa woke up startled this time. She didn't knew why, but now she had a bad feeling on the pit of her stomach. She eyed the clock.

"9:30..." She raised her eyebrow and sat up on her bad while her hand softened her hair, absent minded. "What could possibly be wrong at this hour...?"

She sniffed. Why the hell did it smell like burnt food at 9:30 in the morning? She got up slowly and opened her bedroom window. She placed her pale hand in front of her face to shield the bright sunlight and slowly adjusted her eyes to the brightness.

She inhaled deeply but all she could smell was the fresh morning air. That meant that the burnt smell was coming from within the house!

Tifa gasped and ran out of her room, completely oblivious to the fact that she had let Reno spend the night on her house. When she reached the kitchen she had to support herself on a nearby chair as not to fall down.

"What in the world is happening here?"

Her voice was filled with surprise and despair. Her eyes roamed to the sink where piles of dishes were stacked carelessly, then they landed on the counter which had chopped vegetables mixed with some cheese and bacon.

Now she had to grasp the chair with doubled strength. She faced the stove... she couldn't believe what she was seeing! Reno was trying desperately to put out a fire that had started on what seemed to be a frying pan with some eggs on it but now resembled a burnt mass with some brown-blackish stuff on it.

Reno somehow managed to put out the fire and then we wiped the sweat on his forehead with the cloth he had used.

"Uff... I never thought cooking was so damn hard!"

Then he smirked and stared at Tifa. She couldn't be more dazed. Half of her kitchen was destroyed and the half that was still intact wouldn't last longer if Reno remained there.

She opened her mouth and closed it several times but she couldn't seem to find the right words... or perhaps what she couldn't find was the strength to speak out loud. Reno didn't seem fazed by the destruction at all.

He scraped the remains of the 'eggs' into the garbage and then he took out some cereals. He placed them in a bowl and poured some milk on then. Then he placed that in front of Tifa, who had sat down on a chair and was still recovering from shock.

She had her head on her hands and was slowly and repeatedly counting to ten. She was doing it so that is seemed like some kind of Mantra.

Reno touched her softly in the arm and she lifted her head up, eyes tired and still dazed, mouth a bit opened and legs shaking.

"Look!" He pointed at the cereal bowl. "I made you breakfast!"

If Reno's body hurt from the beating he had took the day before, now it seemed like yesterday was heaven. He was laying down in front of Tifa's house, on the cold hard floor, blood dripping from his mouth and eyes swirling.

"Damn..."

Tifa had some strong fists... he was sour all over! He didn't even deserved it for crying out loud! He had made her breakfast after all!

After some time he finally got up. It was clear as water that Tifa wasn't going to repent on what she did and come running to his arms! So he decided that the best decision to take was walk home and try to get some rest. And maybe order some food...

Tifa scrubbed the tiles on her kitchen harder. She had some black spots on her face, arms, legs, and clothes. Her hair was tied in a messy bun at the top of her head and her hands were red from scrubbing.

Scrub, scrub.

"Damn that red head good for nothing ex-Turk!"

Scrub, scrub.

She scrubbed harder against the pitch black tile. It used to be creamy rose! She liked it that way! It made her kitchen look nice and it even went well with the curtains she had! Heck! It even went nice with the carpet she had under the table!

Scrub, scrub.

"God dammit! You will pay Reno!"

Scrub, scrub.

She scrubbed even harder. Her eyes were narrowed with fury and her hands clasped the cloth securely.

Scrub, sc- crack!

Tifa stopped sudenly. Her heart beat almost stoped and her eyes opened wide while realization struck her. She had broke a tile piece from scrubbing too hard...

"AHHHHHHHG!"

Author's Notes: Yeah I know... weird ending! And even weirder chapter! I gues this is kind of a Filler... Nothing big happened here... except for the fact that Tifa woke up in a really good mood for some reason... and the fact that Reno destroyed her kitchen... wich made her hate him a bit...! xD
