I stink at cliffhangers so I'm guessing I'd best continue the side of the story back in Seventh Heaven. Yes, many of the characters have yet not to be introduced; if you honestly wish to see someone really soon just send a request for me and I'll try my hardest to push the character in one of the already made locations for the story or push him in a new location…Okay?
Disclaimer: None of the characters or anything that revolves around Final Fantasy 7 has ever belonged to me but will always be credited by Square-Enix.

Chapter Three – Chitchat always leads to trouble - Part Two
Dropping the paper for a moment as she also looked up, Yuffie turned around her seat to notice the new figure(s) that had just recently entered the scene.
"Can I help you?" Tifa asked calmly as she stood up with her fingers still intact against the wooden table as she stared at each person of the new coming group.
"You could help with telling me what you've got a hold of over there" one of the figure stated the objective quite quickly as soon enough the sight of a weapon was found upon the persons hand, it was a gun.
She had seen the object of destruction being held tightly in a death gripping grip by the lankiest of the group. Yuffie curled her fingers around the wooden chair she had been sitting on before the people arrived. The ninja's sight had always been on the eyes of the gun holding person then the other two; her eyes told a story to the person as the message was clearly sent.
Her eyes finally stopped from boring into the emerald ones as she looked behind the person to notice a new person, the possible leader it seemed as he was given way by the first three to make his way towards Kisaragi and Tifa. The supposed leader had chosen to fix his eyes on neither girl as he had a feeling his comrade had sent the wrong message and felt embarrassed to explain himself to the mistake of someone under his supervision.
Finally stopping a few feet from Tifa and Yuffie, the leader looked down and shook his head when his lips finally parted to speak.
"I'm sorry for how Reno chose to welcome you, it seems like he has been trying to find a new greeting for a while these days; this is his latest" the person said with a soft smirk as if teasing the foolish red head in sight who stepped forward to the leader shaking the gun in his hand.
"Yo! I almost had them scared them like hell! Why'd you have to spoil everything, Tseng?" He whined angrily but of course refrained himself from going on when noticing the hard stare given to him by the named leader to keep his mouth shut.
"Reno, give me my gun back" the unusual scene seemed to unfold even more to the speechless brown haired girls as they noticed the bald headed figure who stood next to the blonde yet neatest person in the group.
The red head, shaking his head tossed the gun backwards at Rude's direction carelessly as he made his way to a seat towards the two; he chose to sit next to the ninja.
"Damn it Reno! You almost launched it at my head!" A new voice came in as it was none other then the petite figure of the group, her blonde bangs hung loosely underneath her left eyes before she pushed it behind her ear to see better, it had seemed like she was just recently running most probably after someone.
Shaking his head from the comment thrown at him, Reno of course chose to barge in the possible conversation with the two girls who seemed to be holding a conversation that had most probably started before he and his friends came along.
"Apologies for the noise, we'll just order a drink then I'll promise we'll leave or I'll deal with Reno myself" Tseng muttered formally as he stood waiting for permission to sit down unlike his arrogant partner who just rudely chose his seating location without any invites to do so.
"No It's alright, you guys can stay here for as long as you wish; we have no reason to kick you guys out" finally one of the two spoke as it was Tifa who had still chosen to stand before waving at the three chairs she pulled to the table occupied by Reno & Yuffie then invited the other three to join them as she settled upon her previous seat.
The three suited figures that chose to previously stand waiting for something to happened quietly shuffled upon their assigned seats as if children hoping not to get on a bad side of a new teacher. For many minutes after everyone was comfortably upon a chair an awkward silence attacked them before the nosey of the bunch; Reno chose to erupt it with a simple gesture…A poke.
"What's in that paper?" He asked the female sitting next to him as he softly poked her in the shoulder and stared at the sheet she left on her lap just recently. Reno of course only chose to be quite rude was for the fact that he didn't seem to notice her shruiken and thought of it as a free pass to make her life or hour in her life a living hell without getting hurt, which was Reno's talent from the many proofs as Rude & Tseng have chosen to black list him from entering their office back at headquarters for fear he may try to throw a fast one at them while they were in a middle of something quite important.
Sadly of course the hyper fellow forgot one point; Yuffie Kisaragi was his mirror.
"Why'd you like to know?" She fired at him slightly annoyed that he barged in a private conversation.
"Kisaragi, don't let me swipe it off your hands"
"I'd like to see you try"
"Reno, don't" Slightly taken back by the third person in the conversation, he gave a nod to Tseng's threat and leaned back against his chair, his actions were of course followed by another age of awkward silence with a few sneezes and clearing of throats interrupting the cricket hearing silence once in a while. Finally Yuffie placed the sheet of paper on the table.
"Are you behind it?" She asked no one in concern hoping she would receive an answer quite soon.
"No" Reno stated flatly as he was followed by three shakes of the head of his comrades each doing the action after the other.
"Then who is?" Elena asked out of the blue as she waited for her reply that she prayed would come soon; hearing the voice of the fellow sitting next to her brought both a smile and expression of relief on her face.
"It's impossible to find out, there are numerous people who we're all linked to all us of us…Anyone could be the culprit" Tseng commented before noticing Reno shake his head.
"Enough of the drabbles, it's making me think too hard; I can here for a drink and that's what I'm praying to receive; right partner?" Reno asked nudging hard at the shoulder of the silent man who chose not to say another syllable but watch as the red head chose to elbow him.
Of course the silent 'partner' chose to say nothing and stay true to his said nickname.
While keeping an eye upon Tifa who chose to listen to the emerald eyes rude comment and serve drinks; the wutain of the suited allies tilted his head slightly as if deep in thought. He honestly didn't know why it bothered him so or that he itched to solve the mystery behind the letters; could it be for the fact that he wanted to know who the person was that was discussed on his sent sheet?
"You said it could be anyone, true?" Yuffie asked popping away any of Tsengs thoughts as he looked up staring quite confused for a moment before nodding to her question which gave Yuffie the permission to continue. "'We could get everyone like Barrett and the gang to come over and stuff and you know find out who it is!" She stated her suggestion quite confidently but was soon seen to have it crushed when she had noticed Rude open his mouth to say something.
"That would be impossible" he muttered under his breath but of course noticed Yuffie catch his words for her ears were perked right up with deep interest.
"Why?" She asked defending her suggestion quite strongly as she wished for nothing to stop it from happening.
Rude of course chose to fidget in his position as he looked around behind the blue shades that covered his infamous eye color as they searched to see if anyone would answer the question instead of him; he had never like conversations and loved to hear the word small talk.
Finally he gave in with a soft sigh and began explaining his wisdom, "It is too much of a coincidence if every single person we knew were all able to attend a meeting for the fact of the number of people we are talking about and that coincidence does not exist so as I mentioned previously; it's impossible."
"And why is coincidence impossible? I believe in it!" The raven haired female whined angrily as she watched Tifa hand out the drinks and resort back to her seat.
"Because it's faith that is real, not coincidence" Tifa said finishing Rude's answer much to his happiness and relief of not having to, shudder, have an actual long conversation with the second most known talkative person he knew beside Reno; Yuffie Kisaragi.
"This is too easy…Something is fishy" Elena stated as she found it as she explained too unusual for it to be that simple that they had already conducted to a conclusion.
"Are you implying that one of us is lying and is Mr. or Ms. Match who had been sending the letters?" Reno asked from his point of view as he sipped away his drink and previously chose to occupy on it for the moment as that meant he was going to be quiet while he sipped away.
"No…It's just…"
"Just what Laney? Because if you mean that your head hurts, then I'm alongside you with"
"Oh…."
Pushing his chair aside as he stood up, he kept his eyes on each person around him for a few seconds before jumping to the next. When he was done he turned around and began his way to the door before the red head felt the stern voice of first in command speak.
"Reno; where do you think you're rushing off to?"
He thought about it for a moment as he stood there with his backs to them; finally turning around he gave a nod towards the sheet of paper, "It's a pathetic time waster, for all we know some dumb kid must have put us up to his shenanigans; you can all stay here and try to figure out it's true meaning and all, I'm leaving for my date with this beauty" he stated as he pulled out a destruction stick and flicked away at the lighter.
"I thought you quit"
"Tried to but failed miserably" Reno said with a smirk to his dear silent friend as he finally pushed the door open and left the others staring at the paper he left a comment on, Yuffie of all was fidgeting. She had an idea on who the paper was talking about for her; but she wasn't sure if she should mention it; finally she spoke.
Finally imitating the departed red heads moves, she noticed the confused looks of others as they wandered why she chose to stand up.
"Reno's right, we could stay here and worry all we like on who it might be; I chose that path, but I think I have a lead on who my sheet is talking about" She said pushing her chair back against the table while she waited for someone to say something before she left.
"Who is it Yuffie?" Elena finally asked as she noticed no one else chose to reply, but she of course noticed the soft smile lay upon Lockhart's face; she knew who Yuffie was talking about.
"Rufus!"
