'We have to go now Aeris we can't wait for Zack any longer.'

'No Zack said he'd be here and he will be.' Aeris motioned defending her brother as her eyes caught sight of the top of the Shinra tower sprialing up above the other buildings on the distant horrizon. She knew her brother he was her twin they'd been a close as two people ever could be, she knew that he would never willingly let her down or anyone for that matter.

'Face it Aer Zack dissapered off chasing skirt, he doesn't give a damn about you or me or any of this all he cares about is that slut Sam Highwind she's all he's ever cared about.' Aeris spun around to face Desiel sometimes he could be hard it made her wonder sometimes why she felt about him the way she did and then other times it made her angry at herself for feeling that way. He could be sweet and caring kind and compassionate Desiel was a natural leader but he had an edge to him a cruel side, which withered away at it's victims. Sometimes Aeris found herself wondering if she really did love him she knew for sure that he wasn't in-love with her he'd told her as much but she couldn't give up. Aeris believed that if she stayed their by his side that one day he would turn around and see her really see her the way her Father had seen her Mother...that he would love her like that.

Desiel was filled with a sudden pang of guilt as he glanced at the brunette standing next to him from the corner of his eye, if it had been Marleen he would have felt the same way he'd been to hard on Aeris she was just trying to be a good sister.

'I'm sorry Aer I'm just not very good at all of this is guess. Zack hasn't run out on us if he left it was proably because Sam needed him.' Reaching out Aeris found herself doing something she'd only ever dreamed about doing, reaching out tenativly she brushed Desiel's dark rough palms with her slender fingers clutching at his hand.

'Aeris.' He whispered softly bringing her back to reality it hurt him to do it but he had to make it clear to her, he'd never had feelings like that about her jeez they'd grown up pretty much together he looked on her like his kid sister even though she was a year older than him. It was protection, respect and friendship it was more than just fancing her and besides he already had a girlfriend. The hurt look on her face cut him into as she quickly withdrew her hand.

'I'm sorry.'

'Don't, don't be sorry it's my fault I shouldn't have been on your back next time I'll...'

'Aeris, babes!' The hairs on the back of Desiel's neck stood up on end at the sound of that unmistakably reconisable and annoying voice it was Reno he came bounding up to them breathless his eyes wandering over Aeris like she was a piece of prize meet on display in a butcher's shop window.

'What are you doing here, come to sell us out again?' She questioned folding her arms tightly across her chest as she regarded the young man standing in front of her the chemistry was almost tangable between the pair, everyone knew how Reno felt about Aeris but the way it was in front of Desiel now it looked to him like it wasn't just one way traffic.

'No no babes it's not like that I changed my mind I want to help you guys I've left the Turks.'

'Yeah right.' Desiel spat.

Ignoring Desiel's comment Reno stepped forward taking Aeris by suprise as he grabbed the tops of her arms turning her to face him fully glancing at him her mouth fell open in suprise.

'Aeris look at me,' The breath caught in her throat at the sound of his voice.

'Reno.' She whispered softly struggling to find the words to discribe how she was feeling.

'I'm not lying to you I really have left the Turks I found out some stuff and well that doesn't matter now all you need to know is that I've left all that Shinra stuff behind and I really wanna help you guys.' She knew he was telling the truth sleepishly she glanced at Desiel who rolled his eyes.

'Whatever were gonna die anyway but I'm warning you if you so much as think about turning trator on us I'll finish you myself.' The taller handsome dark man warned his hands moving over the gun at his waist. Not waiting for the young ex-Turks' reply Aeris and Desiel turned on their heels heading in the direction of the Shinra building.

'Hey where are you guys going?' The pair didn't respond to his calls frowning hard Reno could tell that their body image read moron.

'My car is parked over here, we can just drive.'
