Chapter Three

Give or take a few hours later…

Rufus had to fight down his amusement when phoenix had told him what Reno had done, however it beat down his defences like a sledgehammer and he ended up in hysterics on the floor, giggling like a Japanese schoolgirl. He suddenly sat up.

"Please tell me he has a tape recorder or something," he said still on the floor. (AN: imagine it though, all of your mates spilling their innermost secrets, even you would laugh.) The girl nodded slowly wondering if her boss had somehow switched brains with the insane red-head's, with Hojo in the same building, anything could happen.

"Uhhh boss…, you're kinda late for your board meeting and in their current condition…get where I'm goin'," she said slowly, trying to get Rufus into her way of thinking and as soon as he realised what she was on about, he shot out of the room.

Tseng groaned, after the 'incident' earlier he had completely forgotten about the meeting they were supposed to go to, all the Shinra executives would be there but it was custom that the Turks were there also.

So leaving his office he headed up to the conference room, also bringing silence materia if things really got too out of hand. He just one of those feelings that things would get a lot worse.

Bracing himself he entered the room however nothing was amiss, in fact everyone was waiting on him…he the Turk leader, for the first time in his life was…late.

"Tseng just out of curiosity, why are you late?" the blond president asked staring at the raven haired Turk.

"Sir in all honesty I was considering either committing Hari-kari or throttling someone then overdosing on aspirin for my frequent headaches…really, really bad day sir," he replied pinching the bridge of his nose, feeling the oncoming migraine. "However go on with the meeting don't let me put you off," and at that he sat down beside Reeve who was staring at him like he had two heads or something.

"Right then…for this meeting I would like to try something different…I would like this meeting getting to know each other…you getting this, well everyone in this room can ask anyone else, even me, any question and they have to answer as truthfully as possible, let's start with the Turks, Elena would you like to start?" Rufus announced and virtually everybody at the table froze, save Reno who gave a smirk to every occupant at the table that said or rather shouted 'MWAHAHAHA you're dead meat, you're screwed…and so on.'

Rude remained as impassive as ever, though many had theories if anything fazed him, getting a bit sidetracked there so on with the story.

Elena started fidgeting, her brain waging a mental war at the question that had been annoying her for the past couple of months but she'd never had enough courage to ask. 'Well now or never' she thought.

"Tsengwillyougooutwithme."

AN: CLIFFHANGER!
