Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII; if I did then bishie glomping would be a mini game.

A/N This idea comes from one of my longtime friends and fellow Reno fan, Otterling. That and it employs that creature that's so adorable yet a pain in the butt, the wonderful Tonberry! So let's give a shout out to the masters of mayhem, the Turks!

Tseng looked around the room; "alright tonight we're drawing because two of you will be guarding Hojo at the gala."

Cissnei glared at Reno, there was no way she was going to spend the evening with smell, old nasty Hojo. She'd spent the week on day patrol; no way was she spending her weekend on night patrol too. When Tseng put his hand out she gratefully pulled out a long straw and shoved it under Reno's nose. "In. Your. Face."

He grumbled glaring at the short straw in his hand and at Cissnei, "shut up…"

Rude walked over sighing, "take it easy Reno. I got one too."

Reno sighed slouching over to the door followed by Rude, a few minutes later Reno sighed standing in the lab. Rude had continued downstairs to get the car, leaving Reno to go pick up Hojo. "Oy Prof let's go yo!"

Hojo glanced up from a test tube, "in a minute, I need to watch this reaction."

Reno sighed leaning against the wall until Hojo had finished writing stuff down, "can we go now?"

"No because I need to finish," Hojo replied curtly. Reno rolled his eyes and pulled out a cigarette, "no smoking in the lab unless you want to blow us all to smithereens."

Reno growled putting his lighter away and letting the cigarette fall back into the box, "if you don't want me to smoke then let's go so I can dammit!"

"In a minute," Hojo shrugged unconcerned as he went along with his work.

Reno groaned leaving the room and slinking off to explore the labs, the first place he wandered happened to be the biological experiment area. He walked around looking at all the animals staring up at him hopelessly, he felt his heart breaking. Everyone accused Turks of being heartless, which wasn't true at all, after what Reno was about to do no one could accuse him of being heartless. One by one he started opening all the cages, the animals looked around curiously crawling, walking and flying away. Reno came to the last of the cages spotting a sad looking little creature. It had a little green hat, skin hidden in shadows by the high tan collar but it's gold eyes gazed up at Reno saying, 'let me out.' Its little knife was rusted and the lantern had no light, the brown tunic and wee little boots were worn.

Reno felt his heart melt, the little guy was so adorable, "hey little fella you want me to help ya?" The little Tonberry nodded, Reno smiled, "well the first thing I'll do is I'll give you a new knife and this," he pulled out a switchblade and his lighter. He flicked the lighter to life and touched it to the wick in the Tonberry's lantern and took its rusty knife giving him the switchblade. The Tonberry's eyes lit up with affection for Reno, Reno smiled opening the cage door, "now you're not going to hurt me are ya?" The Tonberry shook his head, "cool so you wanna help me?" It nodded, Reno picked him up. "Alright then!"

He carried the Tonberry to Hojo's room and smiled, "alright little fella, you know what to do."

The Tonberry trotted over to Hojo slowly, raising its shiny new switchblade it jabbed it into the seat of Hojo's posterior. Hojo leaped like a cat into the air clinging to the light yowling, "in the name of Jenova what the hell was that?!" However he had been stabbed by a Tonberry, and that meant his life would be ending in, "five, four, three, two, one." As Reno so quaintly counted. Hojo let go of the light and fell to the floor dead as a doornail.

The Tonberry trotted over to Reno, Reno picked him up, "you and me are gonna get along just fine little fella."
