Challenge: Reno. Sephiroth, Hojo and a dragon…from Braided Baka Girl

"I think Tseng was quite serious about feeding you to a dragon…" Sephiroth remarks as he watches the redhead cower behind one of Hojo's various experiments. Reno turns around and glares at him.

"If you're not going to help me hide, why are you here?" Reno demands, green eyes flashing as he regards the man feared by most of the world. Sephiroth shrugs.

"I wanted to see what would happen when Tseng catches you." Sephiroth states, shrugging and ignoring the glare Reno sent him. He snickers as Reno ducks behind another crate as an innocent lab assistant walks by.

"You already know, he swore up and down he would feed me to a dragon if I ever got an idea like that again," Reno says, glaring at the lab assistant's back. Most of them knew they were here and were either ignoring them because Sephiroth was here or because Reno hid here so often.

"Now where would he find a dragon in the middle of Midgar?" Sephiroth asks, raising an eyebrow as the green-eyed Turk hisses at someone who comes to close. Somewhere across the room Hojo rolls his eyes.

"Right there!" Reno yells, pointing at one of the cages, which contained a baby black dragon. Sephiroth stares in some mix between shock and horror. The dragon mews and looks pathetic; one of the lab assistants dares to creep closer.

"Now where did he get that?" Sephiroth asks, Reno shrugs as the baby roars and eats the lab assistant who dared come too close. Nobody really notices save for the other lab assistants who eye the creature warily. Sephiroth blinks. "And speaking of where people get things, where did you get the flame-thrower from last time?"

"Enemy-skill materia." Reno says, pulling out the little yellow orb from his many pockets. Sephiroth raises an eyebrow. It wasn't a rare materia per say; it's just that not many had the patience to allow themselves to be hit with something.

"Are you two going to do something or are you going to cower behind my crates for the rest of the day?" Hojo demands, walking over to where the pair was hiding. Though it may be said that they weren't hiding that well, I mean Sephiroth was just standing there. Reno whips out a spoon from somewhere inside his jacket and holds it up like a cross.

"Back Mad Scientist, Back I say!" The redhead yells, waving it around in front of him. Hojo hisses and Sephiroth pulls his spoon out as well. Hojo decides to go back to working on whatever he was doing before he decided to ask. "Oh and we're just going to cower behind these crates for the rest of the day." Reno adds as an afterthought, ignoring Sephiroth's disbelieving look.

"Oh look here comes Tseng…" Sephiroth says, staring at the elevator more commonly used by lab assistants and Hojo. Reno swears loudly and dives into one of the crates, spoon clutched firmly in one hand.

Let's just say Reno wasn't found for the rest of the day…And Sephiroth was very, very amused.

To be fair, hiding right by the dragon Tseng was going to feed him to would be the last place he would look. But it's also Reno, so...

Thanks to all who read and review.
