Reno's Life: Chp 50
Reno rushed into the bar wearing a heavy winter coat with two little children following him, who were also wrapped up in multiple scarves and coats. A chilly wind blew in behind them, tossing up tiny shards of snow and ice.
Just as the three were safely inside the bar, Reno shut the door behind him.
"Whew, it's cold out there, yo", he said, pulling his hood down and shaking out his messy red hair.
"Mmmph", said the child with the puffy purple coat and fuzzy mittens.
Reno pulled the scarf away and pushed down the hood to the jacket.
"Thanks, Uncle Reno", Marlene said, dusting the snow out of her hair. "Um…could you help Denzel out? His coat keeps him from moving his arms much…"
"Sure, yo"
As soon as Reno took Denzel's scarf and hat off, his jaw dropped in shock.
"…Uncle Reno?"
"…Yes, Marlene?"
"That's…not Denzel"
"…I know"
A little boy with fluffy white hair looked up at Reno and frowned. He tightly clutched a robot toy to his chest and sat on the ground.
"Um…"
Reno put the children's winter gear back on them and took the boy's hand.
"Where are we going, Uncle Reno?"
"Back out, yo"
"To find Denzel?"
"Right. And as usual, not a word about this to Tifa"

A/N: Yay! Chapter 50! I honestly had no idea this fic would actually go that far. Thanks to you guys, I've been motivated to keep it going. It seems like just yesterday that I was scribbling out the first few chapters in the middle of health class. How time flies!
Anyway, the child that Reno took by accident was supposed to be Near from Death Note (Don't own that either!). I've been reading way too much Death Note lately. I don't really know how old Near is, but he looks like a kid to me and he kind of looked Denzel's size, so I used him. Isn't he cute? But he could never replace my beloved L!
