Random Reno Fangirl 05 (R R F): I'm back with another chapter!
Sandy: Hopefully this chapter will make more sense than the last one and will clear up a load of things.
R R F: Ah, yes, yes it will, but it won't clear everything up cause I'm evil muwahahaha! And since I don't feel like going over the same thing again with each character cause it's a waste for you to reread the same thing just in slightly different wording and it's a waste of my time retyping something that I can just copy and paste and you've got the idea the first time you read it around.
Sandy: (sweatdrops) Right…
R R F: Anyways, I, uh, think I found a plot but I'm trying to figure out how to make it work with my categories I placed it under.
Sandy: (Sulks) Can I just say the disclaimer now and get it over and done with?
R R F: Sure, now say it or I'm selling you to Mr. Pokey Sock for his own personal entertainment.
Sandy: OO; I don't want that again! Random Reno Fangirl 05 doesn't own any of the FFVII characters SE can have them back when we're done, only thing she owns is me, so why are you standing there? Get out your wallet and please buy me for she is an evil owner. (gets kicked by R R F) See what I mean? Muse abuse, there must be something against the law of muse abuse. (gets kicked again) Where's my lawyer?
R R F: Just ignore her; really, she's a pointless muse since all she does is cause chaos. I'll replace her soon enough, just got to find Derek my muse of sanity.
Sandy: You're replacing me with that stick in the mud sane muse? Well that's not fair or fun he's boring compared to me.
R R F: On with the fic…
Sandy: Hey, wait a minute, that's my line. Now on with the fic…
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"No. Just no Cid. There is now way you are getting me to wear that of all things." Vincent said with his eye twitching.
"Aww, come on Vince, you said you'd housekeep so why not wear this? You'll look the part." Cid whined.
"That's it, I said I'd be housekeeper not dress like one. You are not getting me in that, and you never will, I refuse to wear such a horrid thing that is wrong and disturbing."
"Fine, leave my home and live somewhere else and make me feel all alone and you'll be lonely too." Cid said stubbornly.
Vincent twitched again; he looked at the neko-maid outfit, then at Cid, then at the neko-maid outfit again. "Cid, I am NOT going to cross-dress just to look like a housekeeper, I just can't…" Vincent looked at Cid one last time and sighed...
/three minutes later…/
"See, I knew you'd come around Vince. You now defiantly look the part with that tail and ears of yours and the dress just helps it even more." Cid declared chuckling slightly at the sight.
Vincent was in the neko-maid outfit and chewing on the inside of his cheek to prevent himself from cursing up a storm that would give Cid a run for his money. "I hate you." He grumbled. "You have no idea how much I really hate you right now."
"Ah whatever, by the way, Yuffie is stopping by later-"
"WITH ME LOOKING LIKE THIS!" Vincent yelled. "Are you trying to humiliate me? Why must god torture me so…"
"No, you can get out of the outfit by then."
"Then what's the point of putting me in a drag if it's only for your personal laughs and no one else will see?" Vincent asked confused.
Cid blinked at the kitty-Vincent. "You mean you want to be seen by other people while you're cross-dressing? Well why didn't you say so Vince? I believe I can be in assistance of making you humiliate yourself."
"Hell no, that's not what I meant. I'm inferring that you want me to cross-dress for your own personal entertainment and to torture me in turn. Is my hypothesis correct?" Vincent asked.
"Uh, yeah, lets go with what you said."
Vincent sweatdropped. "You've got no idea as to what I just said and meant, do you?"
"Nope, not a fucking clue." Cid answered. "Now get cleaning."
Vincent stomped off while muttering all sorts of curses and mumbling 'The sooner I'm done the sooner I get out of this dress.'
"Oh yeah, best you be done in an hour cause that's when Yuffie's coming, and she will see you in a drag cleaning if you're not done yet." Cid added as an afterthought.
"Shit, have to be fast then. Damn you Cid." Vincent groaned and began to clean at top speed.
/a few hours later…/
Vincent had just gotten out of the neko-maid costume from cleaning for about three hours and a half, and was half way changed into his regular clothing without the cloak and gauntlet when there was a knock on the door.
"That's probably Yuffie, answer the door Vince." Cid called.
Vincent cringed his teeth and stormed over to the door when he finished getting dress, the knocking grew more impatient with each second creeping by. "I'm coming, I'm coming." Vincent said. 'She should've been here hours ago according to Cid, why's she so damn late?'
When he opened the door Yuffie literally flew in and flattened Chibi Vincent as she ran over him. "The pain." Vincent moaned as he got up and dragged himself to follow Yuffie to the room Cid was sitting in. When he came in, the pilot and ninja were exchanging greetings. Vincent dragged his body towards the chair and climbed up it and plopped himself down there. He rubbed his temples and tried to relax but Yuffie…
"AHHH! What the hell is that thing! It looks just like Vinnie except with cat ears and tail, and he's about half his height or so." Yuffie screeched like a banshee while pointing at Vincent, who flopped down his ears to attempt to block out Yuffie's scream, like he was some monster.
Vincent took the 'thing' and 'it' comment into offence, he is not a 'thing', he is Vincent Valentine and a human being, well, pretty human, but still not to be considered a 'thing' in general and it's rather obvious he is male and not an 'it'.
"Yuffie that's Vince, V.V, Mr. Valentine, Vinnie, whatever you want to call him, that's Vincent Valentine himself, just about three feet tall and has cat ears and tail, which is weird but I won't question it." Cid explained.
Yuffie blinked her violet eyes confused. "Oh." She started before acting like her normal hyperactive self again. "In that case, he's soooooooo cute! Where'd you get him Cid? I'd like a chibi Vinnie too." Yuffie squealed as she picked up Vincent and began to huggle
him. Vincent tried to escape the teen's arms but she refused to let go of him so Vincent lie in Yuffie's arms crying that he couldn't escape her grasp. 'Perhaps this is destiny for me to remain forever tortured in some shape or form.' He thought sadly.
"Uh, I didn't buy him Yuff, that's the real Vincent." Cid tried again.
"Oh, well, why are you like this Vinnie?" She asked while glomping Vincent like there was no tomorrow and scratching him behind his cat ears.
Vincent rolled his eyes at Yuffie's question. "Hmm, lets see Yuffie, what do you know about my past?"
Yuffie racked her brain for a moment trying to remember everything she could about what Vincent told them about his past. "…Oh, okay, I think I get it." She said after a moment.
"Good, now would you put me down please, you're going to suffocate me by squishing me against your chest." Vincent declared while trying to escape Yuffie's death hug.
"Oops, heehee, sorry Vinnie, you should've said something you know." She giggled while setting kitty-chibi-Vinnie down. "So he's staying with you Cid?"
"Yup, he begged and I let him."
"I did not beg. I merely persuaded you into letting me stay."
"Persuade my ass, you basically blackmailed with me because you looked ready to cry if I said no and you wouldn't stop with the cuteness." Cid spat.
Yuffie squealed at the thought of Vincent looking adorable and ready to cry with his bottom lip quivering slightly. "Awwww! Vinnie was going to cry? That sounds adorable and for Cid to call it cute it really had to be adorable."
"It was so cute it was disgusting." Cid grunted.
Yuffie picked up Vincent and put him on her lap. "He is cute though ya gotta admit that much."
"Disgustingly cute." Cid repeated.
Vincent narrowed his eyes to slits at Cid. "I should really kill you now." He snorted.
"And I love you too." Cid playfully joked. Vincent gave him the bird in response, which Cid happily replied to with both hands.
Yuffie just watched the spat and shrugged it off. "So what ya been up to Vinnie, before Cid found you that is, what did you do for a year?" Yuffie asked.
"Sleeping for another 3 or 4 decades. At least I planned on doing so." He answered.
Yuffie went semi white in the face. "Thirty or forty years of sleep." She chanted, "How does he do that without having to take a piss, eat, or drink I have no idea and I probably never will." She murmured.
"Well, what have you been doing with your life Yuffie for the past year." Vincent asked ignoring her remark.
"Oi! I've done loads of things, collecting materia…"
"You mean stealing materia." Cid corrected.
"Okay so maybe I nabbed a few here and there, no biggie. Anyways, ShinRa has made a peace treaty with Wutai so it's being restored to its former glory."
"Wait, ShinRa's back?" Vincent interrupted.
"You bet, Reeve's president and remember he's all about the people and stuff so he's doing things for the better." Yuffie said proudly even though she didn't do anything. "Oh, and I've also earned respect as Lady of Wutai."
"Weren't you always Lady of Wutai? So why do they start respecting you know?"
"Well, uh, heh-heh, maybe they just realized I'm the Lady of Wutai?" Yuffie laughed sheepishly while scratching the back of her head.
Cid snorted. "She redeemed herself more or less when news got around that she beat the Pagoda and that shit. Hey, now that I think about it doesn't this mean by you being here in Nibelheim you're slacking off duty? And how'd you get here rather quickly if Wutai is half way across the globe?" Cid asked.
"Well, I guess I could be considered slacking off, but screw them. I'm just a teen and I wanna have fun, not become a Rufus Shinra. And, uh, the Highwind?" She tried.
"Highwind? You mean Shera gave you a ride?"
Yuffie gulped and dreaded about her answer. "…Yeah."
"How's she doin'?" Cid mumbled.
Yuffie perked a bit and became a little more cheerful. "She's doing really good, she seems happy at most."
"That's good…" There was an awkward silence between the three until Vincent decided to change the subject.
"Who's the Vice President of ShinRa?" He asked.
"Err, it's actually funny, and how she became VP of ShinRa is kind of a mystery since she doesn't really seem or fit the type." Yuffie started.
"Who is 'she'?" Vincent tried again.
"Well, you won't believe it but the VP of ShinRa is…" Yuffie started.
"Elena Marshall of the Turks." Cid finished.
"You mean the female rookie?" Vincent questioned.
"Yeah…"
"She didn't seem too bright when we met her and she had a loose tongue apparently." Vincent said.
"Uh-huh, but she's actually smart and pretty sweet…well, when she wants to be, when she was a Turk on the other hand, Elena seemed a bit scatter brained to say the least." Yuffie said.
"What happened to the Turks anyways?"
"Disbanded. Where each of them are now, well, obviously Tseng's dead, Elena's VP, Rude helps in the construction, and Reno, no clue where that guy went, heard he won't give up in his pride in being a Turk and will still wear the uniform. Last I heard from Reeve was that he offered him a job but Turkey turned him down claiming he doesn't need a 'pity job'." Yuffie explained.
"AVALANCHE members, as in where did they all go?"
"Cloud left without a trace and we've been searching for him every now and then. Tifa has taken residence in Midgar. Barret's working on the reconstruction of North Coral. Nanaki, Cosmo Canyon, 'nuff said right there. Reeve obviously also in Midgar because of ShinRa. And you heard about us already." Cid summarized.
Vincent fell silent until Yuffie abruptly stood up, apparently forgetting Vincent was still on her lap, so he fell off of her and collided with the floor again. Vincent rubbed his head and swore, "Damn, what is today? Vincent's pain day?"
"Sorry Vinnie. Anyways, I think I've overstayed my visit Cid, see ya later!" Yuffie waved goodbye as she went out the door.
Cid yawned and took a look at the clock. "I think I'm going to turn in myself." He declared.
Vincent looked at the clock and sweatdropped. "Cid, it's only 9:42, you can't tell me your tired." He stated.
"You try going to bed late and then having to wake up early to go searching for spike. Of course I'm worn out, especially after seeing the brat, she drains me of every ounce of energy I've got." Cid replied as he headed to the bathroom to change.
Vincent cocked his head to the side in thought and awaited Cid's return. Cid came out of the bathroom a few minutes later in a t-shirt and shorts to sleep in. "You going to sleep Vince?"
"…" Vincent disappeared behind the door in the hallway out of sight.
"Take that as a no then. Well, then where's he going to sleep I don't know. Yo Vincent, get your ass out here if you wanna sleep on the edge of the bed since your less than three feet tall." Cid called.
Suddenly there was a small explosion of smoke from where Vincent disappeared behind. Cid shot up in shock, "What the f-?" He started confused.
A second later Cid heard the click of heels on the floor coming from the direction Vincent was hiding in, and out from behind the wall appeared Vincent, but he was…different. Vincent was his usual height, 6-feet tall with his black cat ears and cattail, and his clothing had changed too. Instead of his usual attire, he was wearing high black leather boots, tight black leather shorts that could have been mistaken for a skirt if Vincent didn't keep his legs apart, a leather black sleeveless shirt that hugged his upper torso, and a cat bell collar/chocker. At the sight of Vincent, Cid literally popped a nosebleed right away. Needless to say, Vincent looked incredibly sexy.
Cid's eyes twitched as they examined every inch of Vincent's body, from head to toe. Unbeknownst to him, he continued to stare at the cat-Vincent with his mouth-hung open giving him a comedic appearance.
Vincent waited, and waited, and waited, and finally sighed. "Are you going to continue staring at me like that?" He asked swishing his tail to the side in annoyance and catching it in his feminine like hands making him look rather seductive to Cid.
"Vincent?"
"Yes?"
Mega-nosebleed from Cid. "You're kidding right? Damn, I'd have mistaken you for a woman if I didn't know any better. You were, like this tall," Cid held his hand about three feet above the floor to show how tall, "A few minutes ago, now you're tall…and…and…" Cid trailed off.
Vincent approached Cid slowly like he was on the catwalk and pushed Cid down on the bed. His tail occasionally brushing past Cid's face as if in a teasing manner. "You mean this form? Why I look like my normal self?" Vincent paused and looked at his tail and perked his ears, "Well, almost normal self." He added as an afterthought.
Cid just nodded with his mouth open again making him look like he was mental or had issues. "Do I even wanna know why you have two forms and one of them is close to normal while the other makes you a midget?"
Vincent smirked and nodded. "I doubt you want to know but to keep you from wondering I'll tell you anyways, I've got two forms: The one you saw earlier and this one. The first one you saw is more or less a cover-up as the best way to explain it; I will let a handful of people see me like that if they accidentally see me, but this form, the one I am in now, my true form or as close as to my original form I can get, I'd more or less only let you see it, unless I had to go out in public and I obviously can't go out looking like midget, but I'd have to hide the tail and ears." Vincent answered.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why can only I see this form of yours? And why the hell do you dress like…"
"Well, I figure if I'm going to be living with you why not show you this form, but promise to keep it a secret although I can be seen by other people I just prefer not too, cause it would be, odd to say the least. And why am I dressed like a man slut, amazingly enough I don't know, I just end up in some random clothing, last time I was in a big puffy princess dress. Another time I was in casual clothing and another time I was dressed in a tux and everything." Vincent explained.
Cid just nodded. "Can you get off me now?" When he remembered Vincent was kneeling over him.
"Oh right, apologizes." He said as he got up. He then yawned like a cat. "Now how about sleep? Or a cat nap?"
Cid twitched and moved to the edge of his bed for Vincent can have the other. Vincent fell asleep instantly when he got in, but Cid, Cid felt uncomfortable and stared at Vincent for five minutes.
Cid arched his eyebrow and decided to sleep. "Vince out of the bed!" Cid ordered and kicked the sleeping Vincent off the bed. Vincent was shocked as he suddenly hit the floor.
"What the hell?" He asked clutching his head and spread out on the floor. "I was just sleeping, not like I disturbed you or anything. Ow, my head."
"You can sleep on the bed, but in your midget form. I'm not having you sleep in my bed looking like that or people will get ideas, it also takes up space." Cid retorted.
"Fine." Vincent grumbled and another small puff of smoke out of nowhere; which caught Cid off guard and caused him to jump slightly; he was small again and dressed in his normal attire.
"How do you change so quickly?"
"Just do." Vincent shrugged and climbed up on the bed to sleep on his side while Cid got the other.
"Night Vince."
"Good night Cid, see you in the morning."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Reno's eyes fluttered open from the rays of sunshine that shone through his window. He rubbed a bit of the sleep out of his eyes and he stared at what should be empty spot next to him. Except it wasn't empty.
Reno froze, his mind coming up with scenarios as to what happened to him last night because he didn't remember well exactly. A young woman who seemed just a little over twenty, her long chestnut brown hair tied back in a braid with a red bow, and she was sleeping peacefully next to him. He couldn't figure out what she was doing here. God knows if she had clothes on or not.
'Did I get wasted last night and hook up with some random chick again and take her home to have some fun or something? Let's see clothes on me, check, so that can't be it…unless I got hitched last night.' He thought. Reno racked his mind for about half a minute till he remembered what happened. 'The girl!'
Reno shot up immediately not really caring if he woke the stranger next to him up or not. He then clambered out of bed and began searching like mad for the girl he took in yesterday night.
The woman on his bed groaned tiredly, he had woken her up apparently. Reno momentarily forgot about the girl and watched the woman so he could ask her what the hell she was doing in his bed, his home actually.
Her eyes fluttered open slightly; Reno saw they were a beautiful shade of emerald green, and she yawned slightly. She sat up and looked around trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes. She finally spotted Reno and smiled warmly at him. "Excuse me, but where am I?"
Reno stared at her for a moment longer, taking in as much detail as he could of her body that was visible to his eyes. She was wearing a short black dress that billowed out at the end and hugged her body well with a lacy outline on the hem of the skirt and on the collar. Her sleeves of the dress hung off the shoulder letting Reno see her collarbone and the sleeves seemed to a bit too long yet snug that they ended right at the beginning of the palm of the hands. She had on a black choker with a rose decorated in the center of it.
Reno finally quit staring and answered. "You're in my home, but I should be asking you what the hell are you doing here?" Reno answered.
The woman blinked in response. "Why am I here? I don't have any memory of meeting you."
"Exactly neither do I. Now I'll lat you go in a minute, just have to ask you one thing."
"Ask away." She answered.
"Have you seen a little girl around here before you got in my bed?" Reno began to describe her. "She's like this tall," Reno showed how tall he guessed she was when he saw her, "Has brown hair like yours, a brown fox tail, brown fox tails, and she was clad completely in pink."
The young woman stared at Reno a little longer, and Reno swore to god she looked familiar especially those eyes of hers. She took in the information he had told her about a minute later and then she had a look of worry on her face.
"Oh my, I'm afraid we've had a bit of a mix-up. That little girl you described is me." She started.
Reno grew puzzled. "What? No, no, no. You can't be her for many reasons. A few of them off the bat are, you're tall, and older than her, and she had fox ears and a fox tail. It is physically impossible for you to be her!" Reno exclaimed.
"You mean ears and a tail like this?" The young lady asked while she pointed at her own fox ears and revealed a tail from behind her.
Reno probably would've passed out right there from confusion but instead just kept thinking of other ways to prove that this stranger can't be the young girl, but he couldn't find any.
"I'm sorry to say it, but there is no denying it, that little girl you grabbed last night and took home is me in my other form, this on the other hand is my true form. I'm sorry, if I knew someone would've found me I would've hid in an even more secluded area."
Reno sighed and accepted what the young woman said, he had to face the facts, she is her, he took home a girl and she slept on the opposite side of his bed and the next morning she's gone but an older version that looks exactly like her is sleeping next to him. "Reno
Tarshil, you?" He said and stuck out his hand.
"Aeris Gainsbrough." She answered shaking Reno's hand. 'That name…Aeris, didn't I know an Aeris once? Hmm…Aeris, Aeris…the Ancient! But wait a second, she's suppose to be dead…' Reno recalled now able to place her face and everything.
"So, you live around here or got a home, or I don't know, something?" Reno tried to see if she remembered anything at all from her past life.
"Nope, I just wander the streets unnoticed. Unfortunately you're now caught in this big mess and I'm really sorry for it." Aeris started sadly.
"Huh?" Reno questioned confused.
"Well, um, hmm, what's the best way to phrase this easily? I sort of don't want to be found and be alone, let's leave it at that." She informed.
Reno blinked. "That's about as vague as you could get. Mind being more informative, like why you don't want to be found?" Reno requested.
"Well, it'd make my life difficult if I'm found, especially if I'm found by the person looking for me…" She tried.
Reno noticed that Aeris was growing uncomfortable with the subject at hand; he decided to push his curiosity for the moment and changed the subject. "Not to sound nosey or anything, but do you happen to remember anything that has happened in the past few years?" Reno asked phrasing his question carefully.
Aeris shook her head. "I don't remember anything in the past years before this one, so I'm not the best person to ask about history and I'm not currently up to date either. Why do you ask?"
'So she doesn't remember anything then, not about Meteor, Sephiroth, ShinRa, any of it. Either that or she's completely clueless.' He speculated. "No reason. Just curious." Reno answered.
"I've learned that if someone is curious and don't give you a direct answer as to why the asked they usually know something." Aeris stated.
"Oh really? How do you know it's not just pure curiosity?" Reno countered even though he really did know something.
"It's usually true though, isn't it? In the slums, doesn't it mean that if someone looks at you they've got interest in you? And being interested in someone is never a good thing in the slums." Aeris concluded.
'Shit, she's pretty damn smart.' "Yes, it's true, interest in a person never leads to a damned good thing in the slums except for the person buying. But, I promise I ain't that kind of person that 'likes what they see and buys it.'"
Aeris smiled at Reno. "Alright, I'll trust you, if you says it was pure curiosity, then you means it's your curiosity." Aeris said.
There was a deafening silence between them for a few moments before Aeris finally spoke. "I, uh, guess I should go now not to overstay–" She started but was cut off by a knock on the door that startled them.
"Reno, I need to talk with you. Now!" A gravely voice called from behind the door.
"Shit! The landlord." Reno cursed and jumped up.
"He can't see me!" Aeris said frantically while leaping off Reno's bed.
Reno opened the door to his closet. "Quick, hide in here!" He said making hand jesters for her to be in there. Aeris did as she was told and hid in the closet while Reno shut it and went to answer the door.
"What took you so long?" Was Reno's greeting from the landlord. The landlord was a short fat man that dressed as if he was a pimp; his appearance just pissed Reno off in general.
"Mr. Rosco…what an…. unexpected visit?" Reno said wondering what in Holy's name his landlord was doing here, and now of all times.
"I'm a very busy man Tarshil, and I want to make this a quick visit." Mr. Rosco said walking in Reno's apartment. "So I'll get to the point, where's my money?"
Reno gave him a puzzled look, "What do you mean? Rent ain't due for another few weeks." He said clearly confused.
"True as that may be, you still owe me money,"
"For what?"
Mr. Rosco sighed; clearly this conversation was going nowhere. "Look here boy, you apparently caused a fight about a week ago or so when you were heading back from a bar drunk. You caused some trouble and damaged some property; I gave you a notice saying you had a week to pay me back for the damages you caused. Now, I'll repeat it again you drunkard, where's my damned money?"
'Ah shit, I don't remember any of this.' "I don't have it…"
Mr. Rosco looked like he was ready to lunge himself at Reno and wring his neck but instead was ready to say something, at least until the sound of some papers or books falling coming from the closet, and a barley audible, "Ow," after it reached both his and Reno's ears.
Mr. Rosco snapped his attention to the closet, "What was that?" He said glaring at the closet.
Reno suddenly became a little nervous. "N-no-nothing sir."
"Are you hiding anything from me Tarshil, because I swear…"
Reno tugged apprehensively at his collar, "N-no sir! Nothing in there nothing at all!" It was at that moment a blast of white smoke came from Reno's closet.
"What was that! You ARE hiding something Tarshil, I don't know what, but I'm going to find out." He said walking quickly to the closet with Reno chasing after him.
"Mr. Rosco, I can explain…." Reno started when he saw the short man digging through his closet.
"Oh really? How DO you explain this?" The landlord said holding out a chibified Aeris by the top of her dress at arms length away from him. "Really, I'd expect this from a little girl to hold onto a doll, but you, an ex-Turk of all people…?" The fat man said semi-bewildered.
Reno blinked at Aeris, clearly confused, Aeris gave him a wink that only he saw and Reno quickly made up an excuse, "Oh, that thing…? Well, uh, ya see, my little sister gave that to me as a way to remember her…eh-heh heh."
The landlord raised an eyebrow. "Sister? I didn't know you had a sister." Handing Reno Aeris.
"I don't! At least, not anymore. She…uh…sadly passed away, and I keep that to, uh, remember her…" Reno tried.
"How sad, now let me pretend I care for a second," Mr. Rosco looked down at the floor looking sad, "Okay, now I'm done."
'Well, at least I don't really have a sister, or I'd kill him for mocking me…'
"Well. Back to business, you've got till the next rent to pay for both the rent and the damages, which is approximately three thousand gil." He informed Reno as he left. Reno shut the door and placed Aeris down while and lay against the wall for a minute.
'Oh man, more money? Let's see, I have to make an additional three thousand to make to add to the rent…can it get any worse?' He thought as he got back up and headed towards his bed burying his face in his pillow, not even noticing that Aeris took a seat beside him.
Reno suddenly felt someone shake him and he looked up confused at Aeris. "Shouldn't you being going now?" He asked. Aeris shook her head. "I don't have to go if you don't want me to,"
Reno ran a hand through his fiery locks, "But I thought you wanted to go…"
"Well, I guess, but maybe I could live here…with you…? If you don't mind of course."
Reno blinked a few times and thought for a moment and shrugged, "Sure, I guess, can't be so bad, I could use company…"
Suddenly another small blast of white smoke and the next thing Reno knew was that Aeris's arms were around his neck and she was smiling happily while thanking him.
"Thank you senpai-Reno!" She beamed.
"Huh? Senpai?" Reno asked confused as to why she had suddenly started calling him 'master'.
"Well, seeing as how I'm living with you, I guess it'd suite you to be my senpai since your kind enough to let me be with you." She smiled.
Reno closed his eyes in thought. "Senpai-Reno? I like the sound of that…" Then he lay back down on the bed. "Now all I need is more gil…the question is how am I going to get it?"
Aeris cocked her head to the side slightly in thought; "Nya?" and Reno couldn't help but smile slightly. 'I'll find a way…' the red head thought determined to make money.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
R R F: Another chappie, and my deepest apologizes for the late update! Things got in the way with school and whatnot… As you all probably noted Aeris called Reno 'senpai' which translates to 'upper classmen' or 'master' I used senpai instead of master because it sounds cuter.
Sandy: I thought you were going to make this chapter have everyone in it for the last time.
R R F: I was, but it ended up being too long so I decided to cover Reno and Aeris, and Cid and Vincent, I know this chapter wasn't funny, but the next one will have the rest of the characters, and I plane to update sooner. Anywho, review corner….
To Mudskii: (glomps Mudskii) My first reviewer and my friend on gamefaqs and ACF! Your half right, about Vincent, well, I gave a small hint and you'll have to think sort of hard to find it, but it'll be revealed later anyways. Heehee, I had a feeling you'd like that bit about the cat coming on to Tseng. Thanks for the review and pointing out my mistakes, love ya and see you on ACF or Gamefaqs.
To FFlove190: Eh, don't worry about the late review, sharpies are fun to sniff, I do it a lot! Yes it's fun to torture muses occasionally; Sandy needs (cough) deserves (cough) a kick in the butt every now and then. Thanks for the advice on editing with a red pen, I hope it worked. Thankies for the review and complement on originality!
To Sesshy is sexii: Ha ha, every review I seem to have had says either how long and/or strange it was (which I take as a compliment cause strange means originality, well, to me at least.). More ValenWind for you seeing as how you like them together.
To sylverskyz: An update for ya! (gives s.s cookies) XD Tseng and Rufus are so luffable like you said, specially Rufus cause I keep making him be a prick to Tifa XD Poor Teef… And crossdressing/sexy Vinnie for you! Hope you enjoy the chapter, and Trapped, is currently on Hiatus, school made me sane again… --;
To supagal: Woot, thanks for the review Dedicated, looking forward to more Reno/Aeris I suppose? (Whistles innocently) (pokes Dedicated's side) C'mon, you know you want to XD
To Nando the RPS King: Holy crap! That's gotta be the longest review I've ever gotten! Yup, rare pairings galore in this fic, I'm totally into unorthodox pairings (look at my profile for crisis sake!) I hope to suck people into writing the pairings I like or get them to see potential, or to just humor them with the thought. Really, priceless lines? Good to know I got someone laughing hard at my lines. Twisted humor is awesome, it's just like twisted logic, but no, I made them have two forms, cause I'm aiming for funny, but not awkward or the OO; faces know what I mean? Thanks for advice on breaking it into smaller chapters, helped tons! Good fics you have btw, but can I get you to write a Reno/Aeris fic? Too few of them, a lot of ReTi and Reffie though. Enjoy the chapter and thank you for the review!
To Heart Chickens: JEN-JEN! (Teh glomperz) My friend in real life! Turns out I was wrong, Tseng never really died, but he was presumed and I wrote this before AC so… Hole in the head, I had to include it since you wouldn't stop laughing at it last year no? Well, hope you enjoy the chappie and thank you my friend for the review.
To Noroi: Yeah, that's okay about the late review, it was very long. Yay, you already see where I'm going with the romance/ I can't stop laughing at how you mentioned not being able to wait for Sephiroth/Cloud/Zack, Reno/Aeris, and Rufus/Tifa, strangely enough those are my top three favorite pairings and you happened to mention them. Maybe AeReno fans think alike ;) Yeah Vincent, well, I believe to an extent as to when Hojo shot him he died considering Nomura said Vincent doesn't age because he's immortal making me think he's the undead to a certain extent. Bat ears and wings…well…I considered that too, but I had my reasons for not giving it to him, it's because bat wings and ears remind me of Chaos, Chaos reminds me of those times I had him in battle, when I had Chaos in battle I ALWAYS got countless gameovers because of the fact that he ended up killing himself and my party was dead and I can't control Chaos, so, yeah, that's my reason, I have an undying hate for Chaos and bats remind me of him…. Thanks for the beta offer, but I don't want to give you more work since you already beta for Nando, so thank you anyways. Enjoy the slight Reno/Aeris-ness in this chapter and thank you for the review.
I'd also like to thank all who read but didn't review, but anyways, please review, keeps me motivated to write! Till next chapter!
