Final Fantasy VII SQUARE-ENIX. Last chapters...yes...finally!
Rude and Vivianne grabbed a couple of beers and took some pleasure drinking them in front of two very dehydrated people.
"You guys want some?"
Cid wanted to spit into the bitch's eye but he knew better. She shook the beer for some last drops when she heard a knock at the door.
"Rude, would you mind getting that. It might be the meal I ordered."
"Get it yourself!" he grumbled. He had placed himself too comfortably on the couch to move.
"I have to watch this two...com'on and move it baldy!"
One more snort but he got up. Cid by now had pretty much a clear idea of the hierarchal dynamics.
Rude opened the door to what looked like a cute little girl in a dark green uniform. She held a small box and gave him a radiant smile.
"Cookies to support the young Wutai Girl Scouts sir?"
"Huh? We dun need no cookies...buzz off kid..."
"Awhhh! Com'on sir, it's for a good cause!"
"I said no!"
"Well, if that's how you see it...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!"
Rude turned to where she was pointing, and he felt his head being slammed hard against the wall.
"Humph! I thought Wutai was a pretty high indication" and so she ran inside to the two captives.
"Yuf!"
"Hey there!" she waved happy as ever.
"We can have a better talk at another time Yuffie, quickly release us before..."
"Before I come?"
Vivianne had her shot gun pointed at Yuffie's head, she turned to her with a bothered expression.
"Damn ye twerp! You should've expected this!" shouted Cid.
"Expected what?" she turned once more to the lady "Put that down already."
Cid and Vincent wanted to slam her face but strangely, she obeyed adding a smile full of mischief.
"You should've played along. Look at their faces."
Yuffie released them both.
"But...why...where...how...!"
"Answers later Cid, we have to make sure Rude doesn't find out about Vivianne's betrayal."
"So you were the one who told her about us?"
"Indeed...and don't worry for Lockhart, I've already established contact with Reno so I know exactly where that red-headed bastard is."
"I'm happy to know you were on our side Vivianne but please tell me at once where is she. We have to go and help her."
"Silly!" she giggled "Cloud is already on his way by now."
Cid wasn't sure Vincent was too glad to know that.

"Hey! Tooths!"
Reno yelled from the sofa were he had placed himself while eating a banana. In his other hand he kept zapping the channels bored as ever. Another day and they would've left the small town, he had already informed Vivianne.
He never understood completely why she had been assigned to accompany them in their mission. Of course she had been presented to them as a top ranking member. The plan of setting the small cottage had been her plan as well and it had turned out really well but somehow it just seemed so suspicious that for such a simple task they had called her out. Maybe they didn't trust them?
And what about Rude? Was he missing his lifetime companion already?
He grabbed the mobile and started calling his number, just to see how he was doing, meanwhile he moved to the bathroom door and knocked hard.
"HEY! You've been in there a little too long!"
Rude wouldn't answer...Tifa wouldn't answer.
"What's wrong with this world?" he closed the phone giving a major consideration to his hostage.
"HEY!" he knocked harder "I'm brining it down!"
"H-hold on..." her tone of voice low and nervous.
"What the hell ya doing in there?"
"I...you know...must've been those taiyaki we had before."
Reno gave up and let himself go on the couch. Just then Tifa came out with a serious and sad expression.
"Wow! Is it that bad in there? I'll just wait a while before going in then..."
"It's...fin..." she sat on the bed almost breaking up. She felt she needed someone to talk but Reno wasn't the right person and she had to take control on herself and the situation.
The red-head was too curious and so he went to seat near her. Tifa's stare was blank and she ignored him completely.
"Are you...hungry?"
She shook her head.
"Look..." he got up and tried to pull her up "...you need a nice stake and you'll cheer-up immediately" she made resistance.
"Get up already!"
"Leave me alone Reno!"
"Com'on!"
"Let go of me already!" she slapped him hard "I'm pregnant you idiot!"
The door behind them opened up to a familiar and rather shocked figure.
"Tifa?"
Reno got up at once but he wasn't able to reach his gun in time before the blond man was on him. Tifa helped by looking for something to tie him up with.
"Are you alright?"
She nodded to Cloud. She was happy to see him but no so happy that he might have heard their conversation.
Thanks to everyone. Probably next chapter will complete this finally.
