A/N: OK, this chapter started off as complete dribble... however, I managed to recover some lost ground. We now know how Reno and Keela got together, AND a little bit of what happened during the unwritten fight between Yume and Angeal. All in all, I am quite proud of it. Sorry for the absence of Yuffie and Vincent, I shall try to touch on them next chapter, after that... PLOT! I promise! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it my dearies... PLEASE REVIEW!

"Oh, and he had his wing out while we had sex." Yume told Keela.

"That... is fucking hot." She sighed.

"I know, right! It was freakin amazing!" Yume swooned.

Keela laughed, "Well, don't worry, I won't dish about Reno and I... you'd probably get sick... There was this one time though that I walked in on Rude and his boyfriend."

"Rude's gay?" Yume was shocked.

"Well, no. I should clarify... at the time he was bi- curious. He refuses to talk about it though, the guy turned into a real stalker." She said.

"How do you mean?" Yume asked her new friend.

"Well, he got Rude's name tattooed on his... well, somewhere..." She giggled.

"Oh gods, you don't mean... well, that isn't too bad." Yume said, even as she winced.

"Oh no, it was. It said 'Rude's my dude' across his pelvic bone. It was creepy, he sent a pic to Rude after he got it done. Anyway, Rude is now completely straight. The tattoo wasn't the worst reason, but it was pretty high up on the list. In total, it was bad enough for Rude to become, uncurious." Keela half laughed.

"Wow. So tell me more about you and Reno... not the gross stuff though." She giggled.

"Well..." Keela said slowly, "The way we met is kind of interesting. But I'm sure you don't wanna hear about it."

"I do! I do!" Yume said, in a near scream.

Keela laughed, "OK, OK. Calm down woman. Well, Rude brought Reno over to my mom's house for a Sunday dinner. I wasn't a TURK anymore. We worked there at the same time, but we were on different shifts since they didn't allow Rude and I to work at the same time. Anyway, Rude brought him over and I guess he liked what he saw. I had an on- again, off- again boyfriend at the time. Who, I'll admit right now, was a real piece of work. Rude had to beat some sense into him a few times for the way he treated me. So, I was seeing somebody when we first met, and I didn't really pay much attention to him.

You know how it is, your brother's friends are rarely ever appealing. I had almost completely forgotten about him until one night when I was at the bar. I was there, drowning my sorrows as usual, after Robby and I had broken up for what must have been the hundredth time. And here comes Reno, ever the charmer of course, and he plops down next to me. He didn't recognize me at first, and started to hit on me, blatantly. I could tell he was half in the barrel already. Now that I think about it, he probably would have hit on me anyway... sorry, side- tracked.

So, he finally realizes who I am, and he starts to get... oh, I don't know... weird. Like, he's suddenly shy or something. Well, I figure 'Hey, at least I don't have to drink alone.' Which, honestly, the drinking was probably what did it. I'm not saying its the only reason we're together... it just helped us hit it off. After who knows how many shots of tequila, which I had never had before, Reno confessed that he hadn't been able to stop thinking about me. Actually, I think his exact words were that I had 'ruined women for him.' I was insulted by the way he said it, of course, and he spent about ten minutes trying to rephrase it so it didn't sound that way. Well, I eventually got out of him that he liked me.

Let me rephrase that, I'm gonna go middle school on ya for a second, he 'like' liked me. He made sure to stress that. Well, shortly after that, the 'tarbender' as Reno was calling her, cut us both off and called us a cab. Reno mysteriously couldn't remember where he lived, but honestly, we were both fuckin' trashed so he probably couldn't. So, I offered to let him crash on my couch. Which he did. What I had forgotten about in my drunken stupor, was that I had a roommate." At that, Yume interrupted.

"Oh, no!" She sighed, caught up in the story.

Keela laughed, "I know! Well, imagine my roommate's surprise when she got up to make coffee. There, on our loveseat... why he didn't choose the big couch, we may never know... anyway, there on our loveseat was the famous Reno of the TURKS. Sprawled out in all his glory. I think he must have tried to get somewhat undressed the night before because his pants were half off. And, apparently, he drools in his sleep when he drinks too much.

Anyway, I hear this high pitched scream and my TURK training kicks in. I came running out into the living room with my gun, only to find that her scream had shaken Reno so bad that the poor boy fell onto the floor. He was in the process of jumping up and searching for an intruder when his hangover caught up with him, along with his pants. They had fallen down when he got up, and he fell over. He landed with his head not three inches from my roommates feet. She started screaming again, which I'm sure didn't help his hangover in the least. I put my gun away and quieted my friend.

To which Reno mumbled a 'thank you' into the carpet after she shut up. I started to help him back onto the couch, when he realized it was me. 'Heeey, Keela.' Mind you, he still sounded half drunk. I said hi and got him to stay seated, though it took some effort. After I made him some coffee and gave him some aspirin, he was lucid enough to ask me straight forward if we had slept together, because he couldn't remember. I told him no, we hadn't.

His reaction was priceless though, he honestly looked like he had just relieved himself after holding a full bladder for hours. He said, 'Oh, good.' which apparently he thought sounded insulting, so he rushed to tell me that he meant that it was good, so that Rude wouldn't kill him. But right after that he added that it would have been worth it. Needless to say, it was all down hill from there..."

Yume interrupted again, "You fell for it..."

Keela sighed, "Yeah, I fell for it. Not that it was a lie, there was just no going back after that for me."

Yume did a visual aide for her, "Kind of like, Knife. Heart. Kht"

Keela giggled a bit, "Exactly, I was hooked. It was his day off, and after my roommate went to work we just sat there, all day, and talked."

"About what?" She asked.

"Fuck all, just... everything. His childhood with you, my childhood with Rude. That's even when I told him I was a witch, something I never tell anyone. Robby hadn't even known. After I told him, I was afraid he was gonna freak out. He didn't though, he just calmly told me about you. I can tell he sort of regretted it, considering that's the reason why you had to leave, but I think he realized that we both had shared some pretty damning information so he knew neither of us would say anything. By the time dinner rolled around, we both realized we hadn't really eaten anything substantial all day and he offered to take me out. I said yes, of course, and pretty much, the rest is history." Keela ended, somewhat out of breath.

"Wow. That isn't anywhere near how Angeal and I got together." Yume laughed.

"Oh really? Do tell." Keela said with an evil gleam in her eyes.

Yume laughed. "I called him a bitch."

Keela gasped, "No way!"

Yume started laughing again, "Yes way!"

Keela started laughing so hard she had to grab hold of the table before the chair fell over backwards. Gasping for breath, her right hand waving up and down in the air, she sputtered out, "That's awesome! Big boy pound for pwnin' the big guy!"

Yume laughed along with her and gave Keela her 'big boy pound' before continuing. "Anyway, needless to say, he was in shock. He called me a 'Cock- juggling Thundercunt' and shortly after, we had our little 'tift' in the parking lot."

She could tell Keela was getting into to it, "Uuww! Beat down in the parking lot! Sorry, carry on."

"Thank you." Yume laughed, "That's the first time I saw his wing. It sprouted right before we began. HAWWWWWWWt, little emphasis... anyway, we didn't use weapons and I didn't use my powers. At first he wouldn't hit me at all. Which, of course pissed me off. I mean, fucking hit me already!"

"Uh huh..." Keela agreed.

"Well, I finally got upset enough that I chose a low blow. I faked like I was gonna punch him in the face, and when he went to block... I kicked him in the nuts." She said, blushing.

"Oh, Yume..." Keela whined. "Boys don't like it when you do that..."

"Well, I was pissed. Regardless, it got him to focus and he started actually trying... after he recovered of course. I almost had it won when I got him down on the ground in a head lock but... and I still don't know how he managed it... he brought his left leg up and hooked it around my neck, which he used as leverage to reverse it and I ended up with his amazingly toned leg wrapped around my windpipe and his arms wrapped around my legs... I was fucked. But, not in the good way... that came later." She said in a laugh. When Yume looked at her sister- in- law, her mouth was open.

Keela pretended to wipe her mouth, "Um, wow. That was, ah. Am I drooling?" They both laughed.

Apparently, the boys thought now was the perfect time to come home. As they walked into the apartment, then scene before them had them curious.

"Well, well. What do we have here? What have you two canaries been talking about?" Reno asked, his eyebrow raised.

One look at the men caused the girls to laugh even harder, if it were even possible. Reno and Angeal looked at one another knowingly."Us." They both said at once.
