Hello again! I'm sorry it's so short but I found the perfect cut off point. Oh and sorry if Reno seems emo.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the idea.

and I'll be wearing white
when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
well I've never known the lovin of man
but it sure felt nice when he was holdin my hand
there's a boy here in town
who says he'll love me forever
who would have thought forever could be severed

We had been here all night. No one slept. No one ate. No one spoke. We just sat and waited.

Waited for 'Lena.

Reno was taking it the hardest. He hadn't said a word since last night.

He really did love her.

"Tseng, shouldn't we take her to the ShinRa infirmary?" Rufus turned to Tseng to hear his reply.

"I suppose. Rude grab Elena." I nodded and walked over to pick her up. Reno stepped in my way and I just nodded. If he wanted to take her I would let him.

"Alright let's go." With that Reno walked out to Rufus' yellow mustang. I sat in the back with Reno and Tseng sat up front with Rufus.

'Lena was laying on Reno and I. She started to stir and opened her eyes.

"Reno…it hurts." You could tell she was in so much pain. Tears were streaming down her cheeks silently and it was killing Reno inside to see her like this. Of course it was hurting us all but Reno the most.

"I know 'Laney, were going to fix it. You're going to get better. I promise." Reno stroking her cheek whipping away tears as he did so. 'Lena gave a week smile at this.

They just stared at each other for a minute. Then 'Lena said something.

"Reno…I have to ask you…something."

"Anything 'Laney." Oh my sunglasses are they going to confess their undeniable love for each other?
"Is that…your natural…hair color?"

…Really? Man here I thought he would actually do it!

Reno actually laughed. "You know it."

"Okay…well it's really…pretty." She smiled up at him and suddenly gasped and put a hand over where she was shot. Her other hand was gripping Reno's jacket rather tightly.

"You okay?" I asked. She just shook her head and mumbled something about to much pain. Reno looked around real fast.

"Just hold on 'Laney we are here now." He nodded to outside indicating that we had arrived at the ShinRa building.

We all got out and walked straight to the infirmary.

When we got there they took 'Lena straight away to surgery to get the bullet out that was still in her and it was in there pretty deep.

Reno walked over to a chair and collapsed in it.

"Reno, why don't you go home and get some sleep?" Tseng looked at him worriedly. If I know Reno he is not going to want to leave.

"No. I'm not leaving until I know 'Laney's okay." He simply stated and I walked over and put a hand on his shoulder. Tseng nodded and walked out.

"She'll be okay." I told him.

"You never know."

"She promised she would. So she will."

"That doesn't mean anything. She can't control this."

"You love her right?" He looked up at me in surprise and was quite for a moment.

"Yea…"

"Then you should be thinking about what to do when she lives, not if she dies."

"…I guess. Thanks Rude."

Eventually Tseng came back and we sat in silence for…I don't know how long, felt like forever.

A doctor came out with a rather odd look on his face.

"I'm sorry but…"

by a sharp knife of a short life
well I've had just enough time
