You know after reading this I realised that I really do put women in a really bad light so I'm going to explain myself.

Rufus hates women mostly because well… He's rich, they'd be throwing themselves at him trying to get into his pants and everything.

Honeybee girls and girls that go to the Don's mansion… Well they are pretty much… You know… Anyways not ALL the girls in this story are like that… Just the ones that have shown up or have been spoken of so far.

Anyways, Happy New Year~! I'm heading up to Palmerston for a while after today and I have no idea when I'm coming back, but don't worry I'll write… Just might not have internet to post.

Also I apologise for the mess of a last chapter. It's what happens when I post without reading over it. It's been fixed.

Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII nor its characters. I also don't own the ideas taken from Love Monster.

"He did what? Really? Did you get a video of it? Why not? It would have been epic. I've never seen him lose his cool before. It would have been awesome blackmail material."

Sephiroth paused in drinking his tea and looked up from his papers as Zack walked into the kitchen, still in his pyjamas and talking animatedly to someone on his PHS. He was holding the device in one hand while the other was reaching for his usual cereal bowl.

"Nah, I didn't get any of it from there… Well… Technically I did but not directly from there. Anyways, if you want him to believe that you got it from there, feel free, not like he needs to know that I was the one that got the information for you."

Zack started pulling down his cereal from one of the cupboards just as Angeal and Genesis entered the kitchen. They both stared at Zack in surprise as he started pouring his cereal with a huge smile on his face. It wasn't normal to see the puppy so happy in the morning before his usual cup of hot chocolate.

"Yeah, I'll talk to her tomorrow, not today. It's our first day off at the same time in ages, so we're going just to hang out in the apartment together… Well that's what we had planned. I think Gen said something about getting some Wutain and then we're probably just going to spend the rest of the day watching some movies… Yeah, I'll make sure that the information gets to him somehow… Remember, if anything else happens you better keep me up to date… Yeah no problem… I'll catch you later then." With that Zack flipped his phone shut and tucked it into his back pocket before pouring milk onto his cereal and picking up the bowl. He turned in the direction of the table, only to stop when he noticed that everyone was staring at him. He stared back at them all with a confused expression on his face.

"What?"

"I take it that you were talking to Rufus on the phone?" Zack nodded at Angeal's question. "What did he have to say that's gotten you so happy?" Zack's grin returned before he bounded over to his seat, not really caring that the milk in his cereal bowl was dangerously close to splashing on the floor.

"You remember that weasel that you saw me with right?" Both Sephiroth and Genesis nodded. "Well I got a whole lot of information on him and gave it to Rufus to give to Tseng right?" Sephiroth raised a hand for the wolf to stop.

"From what I heard Tseng said that the information could have only come from the girls at Honey Bee." Zack was quick to wave off the concern.

"You guys remember my friend Aerith right?"

"The one that Hojo's interested in. She's the one that sells flowers in the Slums right?" Genesis questioned and Zack nodded his head.

"She sells flowers near Honey Bee. The girls sometimes ask her to carry certain types of flowers with her so that the guys that go around buying them will buy flowers that they actually like. I asked if she could get any information on Reno and apparently when she expressed an interest in him, they got real concerned and told her everything they knew. You know, the whole protect the poor innocent little chick who's interested in a big bad weasel. Anyways, she got all the information from them. All I needed to do was buy a bunch of flowers and pick it up."

"That explains where that bouquet in the lounge came from." Genesis remarked.

"Hey at least it's a nice bouquet." Zack defended.

"I wasn't complaining puppy. I was merely making a statement."

"Anyways, Rufus gave the information to Tseng yesterday and apparently he blew a gasket, asking Rufus where he got the information from and when Rufus just walked out of the room, he threw a ten thousand gil vase at the wall." Genesis let out a bark of laughter while Angeal gave him a stern look, making the crow settle down with just a small chuckle.

"Puppy don't you think you should tell Tseng where you got that information from?" Zack pouted at Angeal's question.

"Let him have his fun Angeal." They all stared at Sephiroth in surprise. "It's not often that we've seen the Turk so flustered, not to mention he probably deserves it. From what I've heard he's been ignoring the vice president and I'm guessing that weasel that you and he have been following after is the reason." Zack nodded.

"Wait what are you talking about?" Angeal questioned looking between the two. "How come I didn't know about any of this?"

"Don't be surprised Ang. I'm only just hearing about most of this now as well." Genesis said in an attempt to not let the other monster feel left out. "Zack's best friends with Rufus remember? And Sephiroth's always with Tseng when they're working."

"Basically." Sephiroth explained. "After the cadet programme started Tseng started getting interested in some kind of project. I'm guessing that it was finding out information on that weasel. Am I right puppy?" Zack nodded. "I'm guessing Rufus wasn't exactly happy about the fact that Tseng was pretty much neglecting their relationship, which is why he used Tseng's assumption that he had gotten the information from Honey Bee girls to his advantage." He looked to Zack for confirmation and the puppy nodded his head again.

"Maybe we should have a talk to Tseng about it then."

"Angeal you are far too noble. Is it just you or do all condors feel the need to do what they think is the right thing to do?" Genesis questioned exasperatedly and Angeal glared back at him.

"I just don't see the point in people suffering unnecessarily, unlike you who likes to mentally torture cadets under the premise that you're training their mentality."

"It's not my fault that they start whimpering at the mere sight of me."

"Well maybe if you didn't throw fireballs around like you're some kind of maniac…"

"Enough you two." They both stopped at Sephiroth's commanding tone. "Genesis is right." Genesis grinned and poked his tongue out at Angeal, who glared back at him. "Not about Angeal being too noble. We should just leave Rufus and Tseng as they are. Tseng needs to learn on his own and it is not our place to interfere. Am I understood." They all nodded their heads before they settled down and ate in silence. Neither one of them noticed Sephiroth smirking as he picked up his papers again. He really was having a lot of fun.

"Cissnei!" Before Zack could even think to hug the female Turk from behind, she had one of her Shuriken out aiming straight for his neck.

"Don't even think about it Zack. What do you want?" As soon as he had calmed down, she pulled back her weapon and turned around so that she could look at him properly.

"I have a question." She sighed before she gestured for him to continue. "Say I have a friend right?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

"And which friend would this be? The one that lives in your cupboard or have you actually made some real friends that aren't all in your head?" Zack pouted.

"I have real friends, like Kunsel and Luxiere."

"Yeah your only two friends in the world. Now what is it about this friend of yours? Did you want some information about him or something?" Zack stopped at that.

"Actually that would be a good idea… Actually nah I'll just find out stuff about him on my own. Anyways, this friend of mine wants to get into the Turks."

"He doesn't happen to be a red headed weasel that our boss seems to be interested in does he?" Zack looked surprised at this.

"Do you know everything?"

"No, it's something that Tseng was talking about since the cadet programme started up. He said that we should keep an eye out for him and see what we think about letting him join."

"Well, anyways, this friend of mine wants to get into the Turks right?"

"I'm not telling you how I got in." Zack pouted as his ears fell back against his head. His tail tucked its way between his legs and his eyes got impossibly wider as they started watering. Cissnei merely stared back at him as if the look didn't have an effect on her.

The two seemed to have a stare down for a few moments before Cissnei sighed. "Fine." He grinned at this as both his tail and his ears shot back up to their usual position. "I didn't do anything." Zack pouted again as Cissnei continued. "I was trained to be a Turk since I was a kid, so naturally I'd be offered a position. I think Two Guns used to work for the Don before he was offered a position as a Turk. Oh Rod was offered a position when he stole a bike from Shinra." Zack made a face.

"Anyone ever tell you that you guys have really weird names." The female Turk rolled her eyes at him.

"You know that they're not our real names. They're the names that we were given to use between each other. If someone knew our real names you don't know what kind of a mess it could get either of us into." Zack blinked before grinning.

"So what's your name that they use for you?"

"Shuriken." Zack pouted.

"Is that it?" She shrugged. "So I'm guessing your nickname is based on whatever kind of weapon you use?" She nodded. "So back to this question about how to get into the Turks."

"Before Tseng took over, our previous boss just took one look at our abilities and decided that we were needed to join the Turks so he offered us the job. I think Tseng does stuff differently. He's probably looking for more proof that the guy has what it takes to work with us…"

"So you're saying…"

"He needs to do something to make us notice him but not make a spectacle of himself. Something that shows that he's worth the effort to train… Probably something that you won't be able to help him with." Zack's eyes started watering again.

"So you're saying I can't help him?"

"Not with your amateur skills. Now then should I be shooting that little blonde thing that just went scurrying off or is he a part of this plan that you seem to have roped me into?" Zack's expression once again slowly morphed into a grin.

"You know how much I love you Cissnei?"

"You owe me dinner at some place really expensive."
