A/N: So freaking happy just had my review cherry popped, it may have taken two fanfics and eight chapters but I've finally got two! (Does anyone else think that I am way too excited over this?) I actually did a bit of a girly squeal and scared the shit out of my dog when I saw that I had one, I also died a little bit inside because I let out said girly squeal. Sorry for the late update!
Thank you Nightcrawler666, I don't want you to feel guilty and now I feel bad (please don't feel guilty for making me feel bad over you feeling guilty) Thank you for your review feel so much better now, I thought either everyone hated it or no one was reading.
And for my second review, I looked over my past chapters and I get what you mean by it being a bit 'choppy', for now I think I'm going to carry on as I am for the moment until I reach a point where I feel I can stop and go over them. And as for the name, personally I'm not too fond of it, Sky doesn't like it, but I was thinking about Leanne and what would she would call her daughter. I think of her as a young girl who ended up pregnant by Mr Shinra and probably assumed that she would end up living the life she always dreamed of and will become a glitzy celebrity, I'm thinking of later adding a chapter to explain all of this and maybe Sky could understand Leanne and her treatment of her a little better. And her middle and surname is Savannah Levine who is my favourite character in the Kelley Armstrong 'Women of the Other World' books, I took quite a bit of inspiration from her character so I thought I'd do a sort of a tribute.
I'm also stuck between whether or not to portray Rufus as a good guy or bad, if anyone loves good or evil Rufus please let me know. I've got a lot of ideas for both scenarios but can't decide which one is better. Thank you for your reviews and to those of you that haven't please, please review let me feel the love. I'm so sorry for the long author's note at this rate it's going to be longer than the chapter itself, I'm going to shut up right about….NOW!
I woke up again in the soft, fluffy bed, as I turn over and stretch my limbs across the otherwise empty bed. I open my eyes to look at the unoccupied spot next to me, placing my hand on the other side of the bed I feel that it's cold he must have got up a while ago. I also notice for the first time a digital alarm clock on the bedside table on his side, it's just past six. I close my eyes in the hope of falling back into the dreamless, blissful sleep I've just stirred from. No luck, I slip out of the bed and raid the wardrobe; I pull out a man's white shirt and take out a clean pair of underwear out of the dresser.
Stepping out of the bedroom I hear the muffled buzz of the TV as I walk towards the kitchen. I open the refrigerator door, took a quick peak in there and immediately closed it; Reno was right there's only healthy shit in there. I rummage through the cupboards before giving up, I'm usually not at all a fussy eater but I don't see how anyone can eat anything that looks more like cardboard than the cardboard packaging it's in. I decide to settle for Reno's leftover noodles, as I return to the fridge I contemplate warming them up but my stomach loudly makes its impatience known.
The front door slams shut; I go to the hallway and see I Reno walk in with a package tucked under his arm, a distant look in his eyes and dark circles underneath them. He walks straight passed me and in the lounge, following him that's when I first notice that Cissnei's been here. As I walk towards the room he shuts the door on me, I press my ear against the door but I can only hear very slight muffled voices. After a couple of moments I get bored so I decide to look around the apartment some more, I haven't seen the bathroom yet so I go to check it out. I push the door open and I'm greeted with scented candles, bottles and bottles of body scrubs, body lotions, facial scrubs, I can see that there's at least five different bottles of shampoos and conditioners, and what the hells is a hair mask? I can hear light foot steps in the hall and the door softly close I guess Cissnei's left, "What the fuck yo?" I jump as I realise that Reno has been stood behind me.
"Will you please stop sneaking up on me!" He chuckles to himself as he walks into the room and starts to poke one of the many weird spongy things in there. I leave the ginger ninja to play with the pretty sponges while I take a good look around; I go into the lounge to find the package that Reno was carrying a minute ago. It was left sitting on the sofa begging me to open it; the parcel was wrapped in a plain brown paper with a note on it with my name written in perfectly formed calligraphic lettering. Well I don't need to be told twice, I rip into it to find some clothes another smaller parcel and a small envelope signed to Reno. I hold it up to the light trying to make out what's in there until someone snatches out of my hands
"I'll take that yo," before I can lecture him about sneaking up on me Reno heads for the bathroom, I can hear the door being locked. I turn back to the clothes they seem to be some kind of uniform I'm guessing for that crappy school. There's a short puffed sleeved white blouse with a deep red bow and the school's emblem on the right sleeve, a black pleated apron style dress as I'm holding it up looks like I'll be lucky if the skirt reaches my mid thigh, a black blazer lined with the same dark red and it also has the emblem but on the breast pocket, a beige V-neck sweater vest all of these look fitted and very figure hugging, white knee length socks and plain black loafers. I jump up and almost shit myself as out of nowhere I'm poked in my both sides by very long and bony fingers, I automatically take a swing at who ever it is but end up hitting thin air. Reno jumps over the back of the sofa and lands beside me laughing, "You're so jumpy yo, as skittish as a kitten." I yank on his ponytail and then continue inspecting what I'm expected to wear scrunching up my nose in distaste. I can feel Reno staring intensely at me; I turn to meet his gaze. "Why are ya wearin' one of my shirts yo?" He was looking at a stain I managed to get while eating his leftover wutai which I hadn't noticed until now, his expression turns deadly serious. "Did you eat my noodles?" I'm smiling as I nod.
"Yup, there aint nothin' like cold noodles first thing in the mornin', what times school startin'?"
"Nine." I turn to watch the TV. It's on a news channel showing the wreckage of the sector five reactor, I look at the clock at the bottom corner of the screen. It's coming close to seven, so I decide taking my uniform with me to take a shower.
Reno's Point of View
She's just locked the door to the bathroom; I can hear the shower running and her softly humming to herself. I slouch back into the sofa; I was really looking forward to those noodles. I bet all of this babysitting is a punishment for something I've done. I reach into my trouser pocket and pull out the envelope Sky gave me.
– Reno
I have one more mission for you. This has to be kept top secret, not even Tseng can know about this. I want you to discreetly bring me a sample of Sky's DNA.
– Rufus
