Chapter Three

Rude was sitting quietly on his side of the room finishing up his paper work. "Reno, you still haven't changed," Lena sighed as she looked from Rude's side of the room to his side. It was a mess.

"Of course Lena. But you have. What's with the skirt?" Reno said as he looked down at his sister's extremely short and tight skirt.

"Nothing Reno. It's not that bad."

"That's what you think, but what will guys say when they see you when you go out."

"Reno, you're being over protective again."

"Well it's my job. I'm3 years older than you. So what made you come visit me anyways?"

"Three years isn't that much anyways.I came becauseyou never come down to visit me, so I decided to visit you and tell you something."

"What is it?" Reno asked. She was staring down at the floor studying her shoes that she had on.

"Reno… while you were gone, a lot of things happened."

"Like what?" Reno was starting to get extremely concerned. "Who was the bastard who did it? I'll get him. He didn't hurt you too much did he?"

"Reno! Let me tell my story and stop jumping to conclusions," she scolded him. "Anyways, well a couple of months after you left…" Lena stopped and started to cry.

"What happened?" Reno asked as he pulled his sister towards him and hugged her tightly.

"… Mom and Dad died," she finished and broke down in her brother's arms. Reno just stared at her in shock.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I didn't want to bother you. You were happy and well off with a job in ShinRa and getting out of the Slums. I didn't want to bring you down. So I waited. I found out that you became a Turk here so I decided that you should know now."

"What have you been doing since then?"

"I take whatever jobs are offered to me. I make enough money to support myself."

"Do you still live at home?"

"No, when the men came to kill Mom and Dad, they took the house and I was pushed aside."

All Reno could do was hug her and stare at her. "Well, I have an apartment now, you can stay with me then." He wasn't thinking about the men who killed them because he wouldn't be able to do anything about it now.

"No, I'm alright Reno."

"No you're not. I'm guessing that you sleep in the park that was near our old house?" Lena nodded. "Well then you're staying with me. Who knows what can happen to you when you're outside sleeping. Some guy may take advantage of you."

She hugged her brother. "Thank you Reno. Thank you for everything," she muttered to him.

"No problem. You're my baby sister. I wouldn't leave you out in the slums all by yourself."

Rude was watching all of this is fascination. He had been Reno's friend for quite some time now. But he has never seen this side of Reno before. The nice side that was genuine unlike all the shows he put on to get women into his bed. He rather liked this Reno, but it wasn't Reno. He had to name it. 'This side of Reno shall be named, Bob."

After Lena stopped crying and fell asleep, Reno placed her on a chair. He wouldn't be able to bring her back until he got off work. 'I guess I'm not going to a bar tonight,' he sighed to himself.

Reno became himself again. He started on a couple pages of the paperwork on his desk, of course that meant that swear words were thrown all around the room until he became bored and went back to staring at his papers and then wondered off to the Truks' lounge.

When he came back, he found that his sister wasn't in the room anymore.

Please Review? Sorry it was short.
