<Sanosuke> The dream... Hojo was in the dream.. hojo was there in his past.. but now Hojo was dead. What was Hojo doing in the past? no.. it was earlier then when he was with Zack.. but how? He hadn't known Hojo before that right?

<Sanosuke> as a child... Hojo lived in his town... Hojo used to be the doctor his mother would take him to.. that's right... 

<Sanosuke> Cloud felt a sudden pinch. "HEy, wake up!" Tifa yelled.

<Gabriel> Cloud squeaks and sits up "Aiii!!  Why'd you pinch me???"

<Sanosuke> "Cause you wouldn't wake up silly. come on, I made breakfast." She headed out his bedroom door.

<Gabriel> Cloud gets up and shakes his head.. wishing he had seen more of that dream.. it was important.. somehow

<Sanosuke> Tifa lived with him but slept on the couch at night... they were not lovers at all, just close friends. She was even sort of seeing someone in the costal town they lived in.

<Gabriel> Cloud gets dressed and goes out to the kitchen.. stretching lazily

<Sanosuke> Tifa had the food on the table and was eating. "Eat up... yah got to go look for work today."

<Gabriel> "Yeah... not looking forward to that... "  Cloud says glumly  "You'd think a hero wouldnt have to work...

<Sanosuke> She chuckled. "Come on, I'm sure there is work to be found for someone good with a sword. And if that fails you can get a job with me at the bar."

<Gabriel> "Yeah... I just.. am sorta old fashioned now I guess... now that all the monsters are just about gone...."

<Sanosuke> "Yeah, well... we'll think of something." Tifa smiled a little and got up. "I got to go to work."

<Gabriel> "Okay, I'll stop by later if I cant find anything..."

<Sanosuke> "Alright. Good luck Cloud." She walked out the door.

<Gabriel> Cloud eats his breakfast... still musing about his dream...  

<Sanosuke> Hojo... that crazy guy... what did he have to do with Cloud?

<Gabriel> Cloud sighs and shakes his head, then grabs his sword after cleaning off the table.. 'why'd I have to dream about him?.. now its gonna bother me"

<Sanosuke> The air outside the home was warm as always... people walking this way in that in skimpy clothing looking to get a tan.,

<Gabriel> Cloud sighs, wishing he could loaf about like the perpetual tourists, but knows he's gotta find a job... he owes Tifa at least that

<Sanosuke> In the corner of his eyes he saw a flash of something dark.. dark blue...

<Gabriel> Cloud spins... his fighters instinct kicking in for some odd reason

<Sanosuke> He saw, standing against one build, a cigarette in his mouth, a certain turk with tangled red hair.

<Gabriel> "Reno.... what is he doing here?"  Cloud mutters to himself

<Sanosuke> The turks had technicly disbanded but... Reno was still dressed the same and he seemed to be looking at Cloud.

<Gabriel> Cloud wonders what he should do.. and decides to find out what Reno is up to.

<Sanosuke> "I see you're living here now..." Reno said coldly as ever.

<Gabriel> "Yes, most populated place there is, now that Midgar is gone...

<Sanosuke> "I like it here.. it's nice and warm."

<Gabriel> "Are you going to be a thorn in my side?"

<Sanosuke> "Why do you say that? You're no longer my enemy, remmeber??

<Sanosuke> "

<Gabriel> "I want peace now that everything is over... and I wont let you come even close to destroying what little I have... that is a warning Turk..."

<Sanosuke> "The turks are gone remember? I'm not a turk any more."

<Gabriel> "Whatever.. just stay outta my hair.."

<Sanosuke> "Just a momment... I'm interested in you Cloud Strife..."

<Gabriel> "Interested in me.. hmph.."

<Sanosuke> "Yes... no one ever beat me before."

<Gabriel> "Well I did... "

<Sanosuke> "That's why you interest me."

<Sanosuke> REno looked so scrawny that a breeze might blow him over.

<Gabriel> "Uh huh... want a rematch?'

<Sanosuke> "I lost my EMR but I can do hand to hand."

<Gabriel> "anytime... "  Cloud says, cracking his knuckles  "Im a little out of practice.. but you'll be a nice warmup"

<Sanosuke> Reno nodded. "Very well, let's fight outside of town."

<Gabriel> "Lead on stickman"

<Sanosuke> Reno grinned and spit out his cig before heading out of town.

<Gabriel> Cloud follows him... knowing he's supposed to be looking for a job... but feeling this is more important

<Sanosuke> Reno stood in a patch of grass and gazed at Cloud. "You ready?"

<Gabriel> Cloud unstraps his sword and sets it against a rock "Ready"

<Sanosuke> "Then come at me Cloud Strife.. show me what you got.." Reno got into a fighting stance,.

<Gabriel> "alright.... "  Cloud says and attacks

<Sanosuke> Reno moved fast to avoide, faster then anyone Cloud had ever seen.. but somehow he was able to follow the movements as Reno worked on a mid body counterstrike.

<Gabriel> Cloud blocks it... and makes a grab for the former turk

<Sanosuke> Reno dodged back with the same speed muttering "amazing..."

<Gabriel> "Quit dodging an lemme hit you... wuss"

<Sanosuke> "It's amazing you can block me..." Reno said, jabbing for him.

<Gabriel> Cloud blocks him again "How so is it amazing... you punch slow"

<Sanosuke> "SLOW?" Reno flipped back and blinked. "Simply amazing..."

<Gabriel> "Yeah slow... actually try to hit me or something instead of playing?"

<Sanosuke> Reno flipped over him and landed... it was very fast to anyone else... "How fast was that to you?" Reno asked.

<Gabriel> "You got lead in your shoes?"

<Sanosuke> Reno stood still. "Tell me... you know Hojo before you joined SOLDIER?"

<Gabriel> "... I dont know.... I had a dream... but thats just a dream..."  

<Sanosuke> "Tell me the dream then.. we'll start from there."

<Gabriel> "well.. I had a dream about my early childhood.... something I have a hard time remembering anymore.. my mom used to take me to a doctor... the doctor in that dream... was Hojo... but ... it was just a dream

<Sanosuke> "You ever know your father?"

<Gabriel> "no.."

<Sanosuke> "Got any tattoos or strange birth marks?" 

<Gabriel> "Theres this thing on my back... "  Cloud says... doing a near contortionists act to try and point it out

<Sanosuke> Reno walked over and lifted up Cloud's shirt to look at it.

<Gabriel> "Been there as long as I can remember..."  Cloud says... feeling a little self concious

<Sanosuke> "Just as I thought..." Reno lifted up his shirt and in the mix of other strange tattoos.. mostly of snakes... was a tattoo very much like the one that was on Cloud's back.

<Gabriel> "So... what are you saying....."

<Sanosuke> Reno looked away. "Hojo made you too..."

<Gabriel> "m... made.... me?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes..." Reno had his back to Cloud now. "That's why the tattoo is there.. its an id mark."

<Gabriel> "So... that means I should destroy myself I guess... nothing that man did ever came to any good.... im liable to go psycho or somethin....... "

<Sanosuke> "That's just stupid.... He screwed up some times but not all of his creations were screwed up..."

<Gabriel> "I am screwed up...  the only reason Im still with it at all is cuz of Tifa.."

<Sanosuke> "Whatever... I'll see you around kid... it's drinking time now." Reno walked off back towards town.

<Gabriel> Cloud sits down... and hugs his bustersword to his chest.... disturbed by what he has learned

<Sanosuke> created.... and Reno must have been too for what he said... did that make them brothers or something? And what about Sephiroth?

<Gabriel> "im not .. gonna let this get me down... and ... shit I was supposed to find a job.."

<Sanosuke> Tifa would be worried.. he should go talk to Tifa./

<Gabriel> Cloud gets up.. and slings his sword on his back.. heading back to town to where Tifa works

<Sanosuke> Reno happend to have picked that bar to crash and drink in.

<Gabriel> Cloud goes to the bar, leaning on it and waving Tifa over

<Sanosuke> Tifa, who seemed upset that REno was drinking at one end, went over to Cloud.  "There you are! find a job yet?" She asked.

<Gabriel> "No.. Tifa we gotta talk..... "

<Sanosuke> "About what Cloud?"

<Gabriel> Cloud glances at Reno "me..."

<Sanosuke> "How come?" She whiped off the bar in front of him.,

<Gabriel> "I ran into him... and he told me something... and....."

<Sanosuke> "Ran into who?"  

<Gabriel> "reno.."

<Sanosuke>  "Then he came here is that it?" Tifa glanced at REno who was still drinking.

<Gabriel>  Cloud nods  "he.. totally upset me.. "

<Sanosuke> Tifa growled and walked over to Reno behind the bar. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO CLOUD?!!!" She screamed at him.

<Sanosuke> He barely even glanced at her, just drank.

<Gabriel> "tifaa!"  Cloud squeaks.... "Look... just talk to me when you get home.. I havent found a job yet... Im gonna go to the docks now..

<Sanosuke> Tifa glared at Reno then nodded to Cloud. "Alright. Good luck Cloud."

<Gabriel> Cloud waves sheepishly and heads to the docks.... maybe he cant earn his keep with his sword there... but he is strong... maybe he can load and unload cargo or luggage

<Sanosuke> The dockmaster was there shouting orders to people... someone who had come into power after ShinRa became no more.

<Gabriel> Cloud goes over to the dockmaster, and pleads his case

<Sanosuke> The dockmaster listened and told Cloud to pick up the nearbye crate.

<Gabriel> Cloud goes over and lifts it somewhat easily

<Sanosuke> The dockmaster's eyes bugged out and he backed up some. "A-alright.. you're hired."

<Gabriel> "Thanks"  cloud says, delighted that he finally has a job

<Sanosuke> "Come to work whenever you like.. you're paid bsed on hours pluss work done. I'll give you your punch card next time I see you."

<Gabriel> Cloud nods "I will come back tomorrow... I have to talk to a friend "

<Sanosuke> "O-ok... you can put the crate down now."

<Gabriel> "Umm... where you want it?"

<Sanosuke> "Anywhere is fine."

<Gabriel> Cloud gently sets the crate down... 

<Sanosuke> "Amazing.." The doctomaster said under his breathe as he watched Cloud leave.

<Gabriel> Cloud heads back to his place to wait for Tifa to finish her shift... polishing his sword quietly while he waits

<Sanosuke> She came home grumpy. "He was there all day...."

<Gabriel> "What do you expect.. he is a turk"

<Sanosuke> "More then that... he didn't even pay... he got someone else to pick up the bill... I mean he just stood up, looked at another guy, barely said anything.. and got the guy to pay for him then left with him!!!" She sat down roughly on the couch. "I had no idea he was... gay."

<Gabriel> "He's a freak........ and I found out today Im a freak too..."

<Sanosuke> "Freak?"

<Gabriel> "I. Im not really sure.. but he said Hojo made me.......the birthmark thing... I have is really an id tatoo"

<Sanosuke> "What?? You sure he's not just trying to make you think stuff?"

<Gabriel> "I... I had a dream.. my mother.. took me to Hojo when I was little... "

<Sanosuke> "That dream you were talking about?"

<Gabriel> Cloud nods 

<Sanosuke> "What did he say to you?"

<Gabriel> "I.. Im .. I challenged him to a rematch...  and then he asked me about any marks I had on me..."

<Sanosuke> "You were out there fighting him?"

<Gabriel> Cloud nods

<Sanosuke> "kick his ass again?" She grinned.

<Gabriel> "No, he kept dodging... like he didnt really wanna fight.. he was just testing... "

<Sanosuke> "Still, I think he was just trying to put you on or something... you're not a freak Cloud."

<Gabriel> "I.. wish I could totally believe that Tifa..."

<Sanosuke> "Why? Something else that makes you belive?"

<Gabriel> "Why was the guy at the docks scared when I lifted that crate today?

<Sanosuke> "How heavey was the crate?"

<Gabriel> "Really light... at least to me...."

<Sanosuke> "Maybe... maybe it was heavey to them or something?"

<Gabriel> Im not that strong.... am I tifa?"

<Sanosuke> "I don't know... you do swing that huge sword around like it's nothing..."

<Gabriel> Cloud looks at his sword "Really.... here... you try an pick it up... youre strong"

<Sanosuke> Tifa lifted it and grunted. "Damn... I never relized how heavey this thing is..."

<Gabriel> "Its not heavy... for me......."  Cloud says... frowning  "If I am a freak... do you think I'll go nuts like Sephiroth?"

<Sanosuke> "No... Sephiroth went nuts cause of Jenova... she controlled him... he didn't know he... he was different... if you know you can't go nuts, right? and I'm here for you."

<Gabriel> Cloud nods "Thanks Tifa.... youve always been there for me..... even tho... well...."

<Sanosuke> "Hey, come on... you're like a brother to me Cloud." She grinned and set the sword down.

<Gabriel> "I got a job , so you dont have to worry about that anymore  

<Sanosuke> "I'm so glad." She smiled. "I'll make dinner, you'll need your rest."

<Gabriel> "Thanks Tifa" Cloud says smiling and hanging his sword up for the evening

<Sanosuke> The next day was the first day of working at the docks. All the other workers watched him in awe.

<Gabriel> Cloud works happily, and seemingly tirelessly.. enjoying the fact that he's making his own money and doesnt have to burden Tifa as much

<Sanosuke> At noon the dockmaster sent everyone to lunch, including Cloud.

<Gabriel> Cloud takes his lunch and settles down on the beach... just watching things go by

<Sanosuke> That's when he spotted something odd down the beach on a large rock... Reno, laying on his back with no clothing save a pair of swim trunks.

<Gabriel> "Stupid Turk... has to be there ruining my view..."  cloud mutters to himself

<Sanosuke> The thought of pushing him off the rock into the sand came to mind.

<Gabriel> Cloud ponders for a few moments.... then bounces to his feet and goes to do just that..... to get the eyesore out of his sight

<Sanosuke> Reno turned his head to look at him when he got near. "I see you're out here today."

<Gabriel> "... Why'd you have to come along and make my life miserable again?"

<Sanosuke> "I didn't come along.. I live here."

<Gabriel> "Well move..."

<Sanosuke> "This is my spot... you move if you like..." Reno continued to lay on the  rock, seemignly soaking up the sun... all his strange tattoos plain to see.

<Gabriel> Cloud tosses Sand on Reno... bored and not sure what else to do

<Sanosuke> Reno sat up and shook the sand off. "You hate me for some reason I take it..."

<Gabriel> "Yes.. I was happy until you told me.. .that I m a freak"

<Sanosuke> "I didn't say freak... that's your word, not mine."

<Gabriel> "But its what I am... Im ... screwed up or something somehow... "

<Sanosuke> "Whatever.. think what you will... you're the perfect SOLDIER Cloud... even more so then Sephiroth..."

<Gabriel> "How can I be.. as far as I remember I was a dorky weak kid..."

<Sanosuke> "Weak..." Reno chuckled. "You're far from weak."

<Gabriel> "I know... and people are scared... because of my strength"

<Sanosuke> "It's amazing stuff... I'm not even that strong."

<Gabriel> "I just wanna be normal..."

<Sanosuke> "Heh... I don't even know what normal is..." Reno rolled onto his stomach, the tattoos of snakes and scales all over his back too.

<Gabriel> "How can you be so.. complacent about being a freak?"

<Sanosuke> "Cause... everyone's different... everyone is a freak somehow... normal is just a word people use to talk about themselves most times."

<Gabriel> "Yeah well Tifa saw you goin home with a guy last night..... least people are interested in you..."

<Sanosuke> Reno chuckled and glanced over at Cloud. "Not what you think Cloud... I just have the ablitiy to... charm... men."

<Gabriel> "Yeah.. well its something... If Tifa ever left I'd be alone... she's gonna leave sometime ... she has a boyfriend or something...'

<Sanosuke> "You just don't look... that's your problem."

<Gabriel> "I dont know where to look"

<Sanosuke> "That's your other problem... you do have a sex drive, don't you?"

<Gabriel> "yeah....."

<Sanosuke> "Ever had sex?"

<Gabriel> '... no"

<Sanosuke> Reno chuckled softly and moved to sit up. "Why not?"

<Gabriel> "When you are busy running around trying to stop psychos .... etc... its hard to slow down for that sort of thing..."

<Sanosuke> "What about when you were young?"

<Gabriel> "I dont remember..

<Sanosuke> Reno ran a hand through his red hair and got off the rock. "I remember a lot from when I was little..."

<Gabriel> "Well I dont.... so dont rub it in..."

<Sanosuke> "Really... I wish I couldn't remember some times... all that time I was locked up... untill I finnaly escaped him."

<Gabriel> ".."

<Sanosuke> Reno chuckled and stared into Cloud's eyes.

<Gabriel> Cloud blinks

<Sanosuke> "He must have created you to counter me..." Reno chuckled, looking away.

<Gabriel> "Created... I dont .. like that word"

<Sanosuke> "How come?"

<Gabriel> "Makes me feel like Im not human....."

<Sanosuke> "You seem more human then I am."

<Gabriel> "Oh.... well.. youre kinda a slug.. so I dont count you as human at all.."

<Sanosuke> "Slug?" Reno raised an eyebrow.

<Gabriel> "Yeah.. can I pour salt on you.... or better yet chuck you in the ocean?"

<Sanosuke> "How amusing... I'll see you later Cloud..." Reno walked past him.

<Gabriel> Cloud sighs and hears the bell to return to work...

<Sanosuke> That night Tifa was on the couch, frowning.

<Gabriel> Cloud returns from work... a tad sore... and looks at Tifa perplexedly

<Sanosuke> "Hey Cloud... how was your day?" She tried to smile a little.

<Gabriel> "I worked a lot.. it was okay.."  Cloud says, stretching and rubbing his lower back

<Sanosuke> "That's good..." She frowned, apperently having something on her mind.

<Gabriel> "Whats wrong?"

<Sanosuke> "You know that guy I told you about last night that paid for Reno's tab?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah?"

<Sanosuke> "Well... they found him dead today... the doctor said some sort of poision, possibley venom of some kind, got into his body... then the animals got to him.. his body was found in the woods."

<Gabriel> "Poisonous snakes around here maybe?"

<Sanosuke> "Maybe.. that's what the doctor thinks... I just find it strange, don't you?"

<Gabriel> "I dunno... drunks can walk off and do stupid things sometimes Tifa..."

<Sanosuke> "Yah... but what worries me is he was last seen with Reno."

<Gabriel> "You think he killed him huh?"

<Sanosuke> "Yah but I have no proof..."

<Gabriel> "Well.. if it happens again... and Reno's the one whose last seen... then you'll have your proof"

<Sanosuke> "Yah... so be careful around him, ok?"

<Gabriel> Cloud nods "Im not afraid of him.."

<Sanosuke> "You're tough Cloud." She grinned.

<Gabriel> "Of course... Im a freak...."

<Sanosuke> She laughed.

<Sanosuke> The next day Cloud ran into someone else... he ran into Rude during his lunch break.

<Gabriel> "Great... another one..."

<Sanosuke> "Hi Cloud..." Rude said softly "What's up?"

<Gabriel> "I wish my time was up.... you arent gonna cause any trouble for me are you?"

<Sanosuke> "No.. no... Look... I don't hold any grudges... I have no wish to fight."

<Gabriel> "Okay..."  Cloud says uneasily "but what are you doing here?"

<Sanosuke> "Looking for work... just arrived today."

<Gabriel> "Ahh.... well Reno's here too..."

<Sanosuke> "I figured... it's warm here... he likes warm places..." Rude sighed.

<Gabriel> "Tifa thinks he killed someone..."

<Sanosuke> "Wouldn't surprise me... he's quite scary..."

<Gabriel> "Well... he is scary... but... Im not afraid of him anymore.. he's weak"

<Sanosuke> Rude chuckled. "To you maybe... you're the only one I've ever seen beat him."

<Gabriel> "Whatever he has... doesnt work on me..... "

<Sanosuke> "Yeah. I don't know what he has but... it's scary even for me and he's my best friend."

<Gabriel> "He's able to charm people.. somehow... he said himself

<Sanosuke> "Yeah... and get any guy he wants to sleep with him..." Rude looked away and frowned, "Even me..."

<Gabriel> "Oh... he got you...?  I feel inferior.. I cant get anyone...'

<Sanosuke> "Reno can get anyone.... I don't know how but when he does it's like you can't think... once we were in a bar and I bet him he couldn't use that trick on the most sexist homophobic guy there... and I lost... I don't know how he can do that..."

<Gabriel> "Must be part of his being a freak..."

<Sanosuke> "Being a freak? Yeah.. I'd call him that... seen what he does after he kills on a misson when it calls for termination of persute."

<Gabriel> 'Im sure I dont wana know"

<Sanosuke> "Yah... he said stuff about how old cultures used to do that... to gain strength... but it sickened me."

<Gabriel> Cloud shakes his head "I hate killing... fighting is okay.. but not killing..."

<Sanosuke> "Good for you... now I need to find a job..."

<Gabriel> "Try the docks... thats where I work.."

<Sanosuke> "Thanks Cloud." Rude walked off.

<Gabriel> Cloud sighs.. and stretches, deciding he might want to take a swim after work or something

<Sanosuke> The water was nice and warm when he did... it was nice and relaxing.

<Gabriel> Cloud floats lazily on his back for a time.... just thinking... 

<Sanosuke> No one else was out there... at least thats what he thought till he heard a soft splash.

<Gabriel> Cloud stands up... a bit worried that there may be a shark

<Sanosuke> He felt arms wrap around his legs and pull.

<Gabriel> "What the hell???"  Cloud squeaks 

<Sanosuke> He was pulled under the water.

<Gabriel> Cloud glubs... and fights against the arms... not panicing yet since he can hold his breath for a bit... but not forever

<Sanosuke> The hands moved up to his  chest and held him there as he was dragged along by the swimmer.

<Gabriel> Cloud squirms... not enjoying being toyed with this way, but since he has no leverage in the water, his strength is pretty much useless

<Sanosuke> He was brought up on land in a part of jungle and let go of.

<Gabriel> Cloud coughs a little...  then turns to find out who did this to him

<Sanosuke> He saw Reno looking down at him. "I figured you could hold your breath..." He told him.

<Gabriel> "Why... were you trying to drown me?"

<Sanosuke> "No... I was testing..." Reno sat on Cloud's chest.

<Gabriel> "Hey... getoff..."

<Sanosuke> "I can hold my breath a long time... that's how I managed to survive you blowing up the sub I was in..."  Reno leaned down to look at him.

<Gabriel> "Lucky... "

<Sanosuke> Reno pressed his lips to Cloud's.

<Gabriel> Cloud tenses at the kiss.... not really comprehending it at first

<Sanosuke> Reno worked on opening Cloud's mouth and kissing him deaper. 

<Gabriel> Cloud starts to somewhat feebly push Reno away, but his arms feel like rubber

<Sanosuke> Reno probed his mouth... then Cloud tasted something odd... not a pleasent taste at all... and Reno drew back. 

<Gabriel> "uch... " Cloud mutters and spits... making faces "What the hell are you doing?"

<Sanosuke> Reno just watched him for several momments. "I see... he really did make you immune to everything in me."

<Gabriel> "What are you talkin about?"

<Sanosuke> Reno's hand snatched a rabbit as it tried to run past. "Watch..." He spit.. something green-yellow in color... at the Rabbit's face.

<Gabriel> "Uch... you been chewin tobacco...?"

<Sanosuke> "No.." The rabbit suddenly screached... foamed at the mouth, and died...

<Gabriel> "what... the hell.... p.. poison?"

<Sanosuke> "Venom really... very deadly... you're quite immune to it..." Reno ripped open the rabbit and started to eat it. 

<Gabriel> "Ugh... do you gotta do that... "  Cloud says... and puts his arm over his eyes

<Sanosuke> "Yeah... eat it while it's still warm... I can't eat cooked meat... it screws with my stomach..."

<Gabriel> "So .. youre some sort of.. snake.... I'd guess?"

<Sanosuke> Reno chuckled. "Hojo's creation... the perfect Turk as he called it... an assassin... yes, snake would be a good word."

<Gabriel> "would you please get offa me now?"  cloud complains... wishing he could get the proper leverage to move reno for himsefl

<Sanosuke> Reno got off him. "You're afraid?"

<Gabriel> "No... not afraid.. why should I be.. you cant hurt me..."

<Sanosuke> "You have a point... I can't... perhaps he made you as a safety messure after I got loose and ran away."

<Gabriel> "Oh.... but ... it wasnt like I would have protected the bastard from you or anything..."

<Sanosuke> "Hojo madethings but he couldn't make em obey..."

<Gabriel> "Poor him.. least I killed him...

<Sanosuke> "Yep... killed the bastard that made us both."

<Gabriel> "So... is this what you drug me out here for... to see if you could kill me/"

<Sanosuke> "I didn't think I could... I figured he made you immune."

<Gabriel> "And what if you had been able to kill me?"

<Sanosuke> "I would have eaten."

<Gabriel> "Uck... eaten me.... thats  sick.... but I guess I woulda been doing some good..."

<Sanosuke> "Not sick if it's a dietrary need for me."

<Gabriel>  "Are you done screwin with my head Reno?"

<Sanosuke>  "No... I got something else I want."

<Gabriel> "... whats that?  Tifa's gonna get worried if I dont come back soon..."

<Sanosuke> Reno tore off Cloud's trunks and dived his head down, licking his peirced gue along the bare member.

<Gabriel> Cloud... freezes, totally unsure what the hell just happened... he remains that way for a few moments before moaning softly

<Sanosuke> Reno took him in his mouth as soon as Cloud was hard, sucking deaply on it.

<Gabriel> "Ohh... gods... "  Cloud whimpers... squirming just a little... never having had anything quite this good feeling... happen to him before

<Sanosuke> even though it was unexpected... and gods.. REno was quite the expert.. and his sucking denotated a deap need for something.

<Gabriel> Clouds somewhat overly sensitive body .. mostly from being inexperienced in these things... is about ready to burst as Reno sucks him

<Sanosuke> Reno sucked, and sucked, and sucked even as Cloud started to flow.

<Gabriel> Cloud arches his back... whimpering softly at what Reno is doing...  not quite sure what it means just yet

<Sanosuke> Reno seemed to be drinking him... drinking him all down... all that Cloud could give.

<Gabriel> Cloud squeezes his eyes shut... tears trickling down his cheeks, both from the pleasure, and from being confused and a bit upset at this

<Sanosuke> Once Cloud was dry Reno lifted up and let out a sigh of contenment. "Tastey... I knew it..."

<Gabriel> "Why.. why'd you do that..."  Cloud mumbles.... trying to sit up but feeling too rubbery to do so

<Sanosuke> "Hojo made me feed of odd things... to highten my sexual appite he made me crave this too..." Reno licked  his lips.

<Gabriel> Cloud sniffs.. and finally sits up... picking leaves out of his hair and looking quite unhappy

<Sanosuke> "You seem sad."

<Gabriel> "Dont do that to me... screwing with my head..... all of this...

<Sanosuke> "We were made against eachother..."

<Gabriel> "Dont come near me again... "

<Sanosuke> "Mmm... I don't know if I can resist you forever..."

<Gabriel> "Stay the hell away from me or I swear I'll kill you..... "  Cloud growls.. looking close to real tears

<Sanosuke> "Then you might have to kill me..." Reno's hand graced Cloud's cheek gently.

<Gabriel> "Youre a manwhore... and  a bastard...  "  Cloud says angrily... and grabs his trunks

<Sanosuke> "Not like it's my fault... it's how I was made Cloud."

<Gabriel> Cloud puts his trunks on and looks around... a little lost...   "I dont care... stay away from me... I was peaceful until you showed up..."

<Sanosuke> "You relize.. without me.. you'll never be complete..." Reno slipped away into the jungle.

<Gabriel> Cloud wanders around in the jungle a while... lost... and doesnt make it home until quite late

<Sanosuke> Tifa rushed and hugged him. "Cloud!! Are you ok??"

<Gabriel> "No.. Im not okay..."  Cloud says slowly

<Sanosuke> "What happend?"

<Gabriel> "Reno... he tried to kill me ... drown... poison... then... he..."  Cloud mutters... trailing of

<Sanosuke> "HE WHAT!!!!" She clenched her fists and in the words of princess Mint... "HE's SOOOO DEAD!"

<Gabriel> "Tifa. he'd kill you in an instant........'

<Sanosuke> "He's so scrawny... i bet I can take him."

<Gabriel> "No... you couldnt.... he's the "perfect assasin".. he's poisonous like a snake or something...

<Sanosuke> "What do you mean Cloud?"

<Gabriel> "He's a creation.. of Hojo... he's the perfect assasin or something..... like Im the perfect soldier... I wish he didnt exist... I was happy... before"

<Sanosuke> "Oh Cloud.. why didn't you tell me?" Tiffa hugged him tighter.

<Gabriel> "I think I might have to go away... Tifa.. you wouldnt be too upset... right?

<Sanosuke> Tifa frowned. "But.. i don't want you to go away again..."

<Gabriel> "Reno isnt going to leave me alone..."

<Sanosuke> "Then what would leaving change? if he's really the perfect assassin he could find you anywhere, right?"

<Gabriel> "If I go someplace cold maybe..."

<Sanosuke> "What would a cold place help?"

<Gabriel> "He likes it warm.."

<Sanosuke> "Well... that would explain why he's down here."

<Gabriel> "he did things to me... and Im confused...  I need to sleep okay?"

<Sanosuke> "Ok. I'll make you a nice breakfast in the morning, ok?"

<Gabriel> Cloud nods and hugs Tifa before going to his room to curl up

<Sanosuke> Right as she said the smell of a wonderful breakfast woke Cloud up in the morning.

<Gabriel> Cloud dresses, hoping today is going to be better than the day before

<Sanosuke> "Morning Cloud." Tifa greated when he got to the tabl.e

<Gabriel> "Morning Tifa, thank you as always for breakfast"

<Sanosuke> "You're welcome. I like cooking breakfast."

<Gabriel> "Youre gonna make some guy really happy someday....  "

<Sanosuke> "Thanks Cloud." She smiled at him.

<Gabriel> Cloud works on eating his breakfast, putting things aside in his mind to enjoy himself a little

<Sanosuke> "Well, I'm off to work. Have a good day."

<Gabriel> "You too Tifa.... watch your back.. for that Jerk.."

<Sanosuke> "Ok, I will. You too."

<Gabriel> Cloud waves and goes back to finishing his breakfast.... since he has to go to work himself soon

<Sanosuke> when he got there he found that Rude had gotten a job there too.

<Gabriel> Cloud smiles at Rude .. "good to see you got work"

<Sanosuke> "Yah, thanks Cloud. All I had to do is say you told me there was work to be found here and they signed me right up."

<Gabriel> "well thats good, least you arent threatening to eat people or anything..."  

<Sanosuke> "Eat.. people? You... talked to Reno... didn't you?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah.... unfortunately..."

<Sanosuke> "He try to hurt you?"

<Gabriel> "tried to kill me... I think"

<Sanosuke> "He... he still got a grudge?"

<Gabriel> "I dunno..... but Im none too happy with him.

<Sanosuke> "I... he still got those killer eyes?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah...."

<Sanosuke> He's so cold blooded... he doesn't even seem human.." Rude sighed. "I must be an awful friend since I consider him my best friend and yet I say that about him."

<Gabriel> "No... what you say is true about him.."

<Sanosuke> "Huh? It is?"

<Gabriel> "He's not human... I dont think.... and.. I think he might even be truly cold blooded..."

<Sanosuke> "What you know about him then?" Rude worked as he talked with Cloud.

<Gabriel> "He's poisonous... and when I called him a snake he said that was bout right"

<Sanosuke> "Geez... you sure he hasn't just gone nuts?"

<Gabriel> "I saw him kill a rabbit... with some yellow glop he hocked up"

<Sanosuke> "Yuck... I... well... I once saw him spit in some guys drink.. the guy didn't see.. and drank it.. and died a few momments later. I figured Reno was just immune to poison.. but it made me scared when he... when he wanted to sleep with me...":

<Gabriel> "... he kissed me and did some stuff to me yesterday... I wanted to kill him....

<Sanosuke> "What did he do?"

<Gabriel> "Abducted me while I was swimming... tried to poison me and sucked me off... not exactly fun.."

<Sanosuke> "Man... I'm sure he's fucked in the head..."

<Gabriel> "He's not gonna leave me alone either"

<Sanosuke> "I think you're right... I think he gets what he goes after..."

<Gabriel> "I might have to kill him... I hate killing..... I was sick for weeks.. after I killed Sephiroth..."

<Sanosuke> "Then find some other way.. if killing is not in your nature... find some other  way."

<Gabriel> "You dont expect me to be happy with him using me as a toy..."

<Sanosuke> "Cloud... you got to find some way to get away from him."

<Gabriel> "Im thinking of moving all the way up north... to that snowy place.."

<Sanosuke> "Do you like the cold?"

<Gabriel> "Not really.... but I can deal with it... and that way I can visit Aeris "

<Sanosuke> "You're not gonna die are you?"

<Gabriel> "No... Tifa'd be upset..."

<Sanosuke> "Yeah.. you're a good guy... yah shouldn't go dieing on us."

<Gabriel> "Not entirely s ure I could if I wanted to anyway... who knows..  

<Sanosuke> "Well... maybe if you find some thing he hates he'll leave you be?"

<Gabriel> "That'll be fun.. "

<Sanosuke> "What you say he was?"

<Gabriel> "A snake or something....... should i get a pet mongoose?"

<Sanosuke> "Know of anything else snakes hate:?"

<Gabriel> Cloud shrugs  "I dont know. Walk around with an Ice materia ?"

<Sanosuke> "He hates the cold.... so maybe that will work."

<Gabriel> "I'll have to see if I can find one.”

<Sanosuke> "Don't you still have one?"

<Gabriel> "I think I might.. I sold a lot of my materia when everything was all over.."

<Sanosuke> "All I got is fire... cause i absorb it cause of the turk enhancements."

<Gabriel> Cloud nods "Thats gotta be nice..."

<Sanosuke> "Yah, I suppose. I think Elena has the ice."

<Gabriel> "Hmm... well. Im sure Ive got a piece... or at least my shiva summon"

<Sanosuke> "Use it on him and see what happens."

<Gabriel> "Yeah... I think I will"

<Sanosuke> Rude had to go elsewhere in the docks so the conversation closed.

<Gabriel> Cloud keeps working until its time to go home.......  enjoying himsef

<Sanosuke> on his way back he felt a hand on his shoulder.

<Gabriel> Cloud freezes and turns.. sure of who it is

<Sanosuke> Reno looked into his eyes. "Hey Cloud."

<Gabriel> "I thought I told you to stay the hell away...."

<Sanosuke> "I told you I can;'t."

<Gabriel> "And why cant you.. you have a death wish?"

<Sanosuke> "Because you're all I think about now." Reno ran his hand down Cloud's cheek.

<Gabriel> "Well stop thinking... it isnt happening..."

<Sanosuke> "You will be my hardest catch then."

<Gabriel> "Im gonna be the one that got away"

<Sanosuke> "Then i will be always after you.:

<Gabriel> "You'd follow me up north...?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes...."

<Gabriel> "Why....?"

<Sanosuke> "Because I can't let you go."

<Gabriel> "Listen... I dont want to be one of your conquests... I just want to be left at peace.."

<Sanosuke> "I'm still not leaving you be."

<Gabriel> "Then I'll have to kill you.... I just want to be left alone now..."

<Sanosuke> "If that's what it will take.. that's what it shall be."

<Gabriel> Cloud shakes his head and starts walking again

<Sanosuke> Reno followed after him.

<Gabriel> "Reno... go away... Im not interested........ at all"

<Sanosuke> "Doesn't mater... I want you."

<Gabriel> "And how do you propose to get me ..."  Cloud growls... entering his house and slamming the door in Reno's face

<Sanosuke> "I will find a way..." Reno hissed softly.

<Gabriel> Cloud locks his doors and windows... and curls up on his bed... angry at Reno's unwanted attentions

<Sanosuke> But that meant someone wanted him... but that person was evil.

<Gabriel> Cloud hugs his knees to his chest "Its either me or him..."  he mutters to himself.. "and I want to live... for what... I dont really know... 

<Sanosuke> Maybe for friends... maybe for family... a family he might one day have.

<Gabriel> Cloud gets up and goes over to a chest resting against the wall... then opens it... fishing around for an armlet and ice materia... stopping for a few moments to play with a lock of Sephiroth's hair he thinks he might

<Gabriel> have had forever....

<Sanosuke> He never wanted to kill Sephiroth.. but Seph had been beyhond help.. partly merged with Jenova and driven insane by her... death was the only way to help him at all...

<Gabriel> "Is reno the same way... mad.. the only way to save him from himself... death?  And if he's nuts.... does that mean Im gonna... go nuts too?"  Cloud asks the hair.. not really expecting it to answer

<Sanosuke> Reno didn't seem as nuts... he was just cold and heartless... because he was a snake.. but some of him was human.. perhaps there was a  human heart burried deap in there amid the posion and ice.

<Gabriel> Cloud sighs and puts the hair back into the chest... clicking the materia into his armlet and wearing it... then heading to the front door

<Sanosuke> He had the feeling Reno was around out there somewhere.

<Gabriel> Cloud goes outside...  and settles down on the steps... just to sit in the light of the setting sun... and watch the world go by

<Sanosuke> He heard Reno come up behind him.. though no one else would ever have known he was three.

<Sanosuke> there^

<Gabriel> "You didnt go very far did you Reno..."

<Sanosuke> "Of course not... I told you what I want."

<Gabriel> "Why do you want it Reno... just to say you had me?"

<Sanosuke> "I already had that Cloud... I want all of you... always... I need it."

<Gabriel> "Why do you want me Reno?  Do you want me or my body?"

<Sanosuke> "I need you... you were created to be immune to me... which means even when I'm posioness I can't hurt you."

<Gabriel> "Need me how.... just for sex?"

<Sanosuke> "I don't know... Sex is what I was created for.. sex and killing..."

<Gabriel> "Show me Reno... then I'll decide... since Im sure just once isnt going to be enough for you.."

<Sanosuke> "Show you what?"

<Gabriel> "Show me how you want me..."

<Sanosuke> "Take me to your room.

<Sanosuke> "

<Gabriel> Cloud gets up and leads Reno to his room... "I dont know why Im doing this..."

<Sanosuke> Reno shut the door behind them and dropped his clothing on the floor, trying to excite Cloud with his body.

<Gabriel> Cloud watches him... mildly interested

<Sanosuke> "I have eccountered people who don't hold to my pheromoes for one reason or another even if they are attracted to me... so when that happens I must relly on other ways to make my prey want me..." Reno moved his hands 

<Sanosuke> along his body, watching Cloud.

<Gabriel> "So thats your secret.. pheremones... "  Cloud says... but his eyes are watching reno's hands

<Sanosuke> "Ones that work on men..."

<Gabriel>  "Dont work on me... thats good so far.”

<Sanosuke> "I've noticed..." Reno's movements with his hands were kind of stimulating though.

<Gabriel> "What else can you do ?  Cloud asks... still watching the hands

<Sanosuke> "I'm more flexible then a contortionest..."

<Gabriel> "Ohh?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes..." Reno grinned, moving his body as he moved his hands.

<Gabriel> Cloud's eyes grow wide.. "wow...

<Sanosuke> "Can you think of how much you could enjoy that?"

<Gabriel> "Yeah... but......"

<Sanosuke> "but?"

<Gabriel> "I dunno.."  Cloud says... twiddling his thumbs

<Sanosuke> Reno came close to him. "Don't know what you want yet?"

<Gabriel> "Nope. maybe I dont have a sex drive.. after all"

<Sanosuke> Reno snorted and plopped down on Cloud's bed.

<Gabriel> Cloud looks Reno over... more interested than he makes out to be

<Sanosuke> Reno seemed to be shaped as the perfect male sex toy so to speak... prolly had his dna keyed so he'd grow up to look this way.

<Gabriel> Cloud's eyes roam over him... half expecting the man to strike at him like a snake.. for all the scaly tattoos he has

<Sanosuke> Cloud started to wonder if those were even tattoos... perhaps hojo had botched a little of reno's dna and it caused Reno to grow scales in some places. The other tattoos pretty much covered them to make people who don't 

<Sanosuke> know anything about him being made to think he's just snake obbsessed... and that they are true tattoos...

<Gabriel> Cloud pokes at Reno experimentally... but in nowhere near an interested in sex manner

<Sanosuke> The scales were smooth and cold... just as cold as the skin but the skin wasn't as smooth.

<Gabriel> "weird..."  cloud says... and goes back to just looking

<Sanosuke> "Hojo could never get that right..." Reno whispered. "I think you're the only one he didn't botch up..."

<Gabriel> "Im sure theres something wrong with me...  and they're kinda cool..."

<Sanosuke> "I heard you were weak as a child.. I bet that was the botching at first.. then he fixed you... and now you're a super human."

<Gabriel> "I hate it though..."

<Sanosuke> "Hate what?"

<Gabriel> "Being different..."

<Sanosuke> "Why? You're suppierer to them."

<Gabriel> "But... nobody wants me.. they're afraid"

<Sanosuke> "What about me?"

<Gabriel> "You can seduce people and do stuff.. even tho its not the same..."

<Sanosuke> Reno chuckled. "I mean.. i want you."

<Gabriel> "You... youre... not exactly..'

<Sanosuke> "What you want? Or is it the human factor?"

<Gabriel> "No.. youre just... evil"

<Sanosuke> "So that's what bothers you?"

<Gabriel> "Prettymuch..."

<Sanosuke> "What's so evil about me?"

<Gabriel> "I dunno...  you just are..."

<Sanosuke> Reno moved quickly and pinned Cloud to the bed, sitting on his lap.

<Gabriel> "Not fair..."  Cloud says... since strength isnt worth anything without proper leverage

<Sanosuke> "Is this why I'm evil?"

<Gabriel> "You eat people..'

<Sanosuke> "Because I need to... Hojo made me crave it in my diet...."

<Gabriel> "Its sick..."

<Sanosuke> "Then he's the one whose evil since he created me for that job..."

<Gabriel> Cloud frowns.... because Reno has a point there 

<Gabriel> "You.. oughtta leave.. Tifa's gonna be home . soon"

<Sanosuke> "I don't want to leave."

<Gabriel> "you arent getting anything."

<Sanosuke> "Still not leaving."

<Gabriel> "What do you want then?"

<Sanosuke> "You." Reno stretched out over him... cold body over warm flesh.

<Gabriel> "I wonder... was I made to be exactly what you wanted?"

<Sanosuke> "Perhaps... and to be able to counter me."

<Gabriel> "Lure you in and snuff you out.. huh?"

<Sanosuke> "Perhaps... but If that's what will happen so be it."

<Gabriel> "I hate killing..."

<Sanosuke> "Then there will be none."

<Gabriel> "But... you arent gonna leave me alone..."

<Sanosuke> "Where would I go?"  

<Gabriel> "Away.. and stay away"

<Sanosuke> "I don't want to, remember?"

<Gabriel> "Please..."

<Sanosuke> "Why?"

<Gabriel> "Cuz... I wanna be at peace"

<Sanosuke> "That's what death is for."

<Gabriel> "But... c'mon .. Tifa'll be mad if you stay... and.. I'll have to move away and she'll get even madder"

<Sanosuke> "She doesn't have to know I'm here."

<Gabriel> "She'd notice. believe me"

<Sanosuke> "How?"

<Gabriel> "She's nosy... and she sleeps right on the couch .."

<Sanosuke> "She'd notice me hidding under your bed?"

<Gabriel> "No!  C'mon....  I dont want..."

<Sanosuke> "Why not?"

<Gabriel> "Cuz.. I.. I..."

<Sanosuke> "You can't even think of a good excuse, can you?"

<Gabriel> "No..."

<Sanosuke> "Then why make me leave?" Reno let his lips trail across Cloud's face.

<Gabriel> "C..cu.. cuz! youre gonna mess with my head"

<Sanosuke> "In what way?"

<Gabriel> "By.. doing what you just did.. "

<Sanosuke> "Sucking you again? I need to do it."

<Gabriel> "no!"

<Sanosuke> "It's nurishment... Hojo made me this way to need it..."

<Gabriel> "suck yourself off ... if youre such a contortionist!!"  Cloud squeaks... and tries unsucessfully to squirm away from the naked man sitting on him

<Sanosuke> "It's not nurishing... I'm sterile."

<Gabriel> "sick... go away!"

<Sanosuke> "You're just scared."

<Gabriel> "No I dont like it..."

<Sanosuke> "How come?"

<Gabriel> "Just dont.. go away... please... "  Cloud says.. thinking it was a really big mistake to let him in

<Sanosuke> "Whatever.." Reno headed for the door. He paused and asked, "Ever wondered what this is all like for me Cloud?" And walked out.

<Gabriel> "I know what its all like.... sorta... "  Cloud says to himself...  pulling a pillow over his head

<Sanosuke> That wasn't what REno meant though... when dinner came the question came back... and the reminder that Reno said what he fed on... unable to eat cooked things because it would make him horribly sick.

<Gabriel>   Cloud pokes listlessly at his food

<Sanosuke> It tasted good... Tifa was a good cook.

<Gabriel> Cloud wonders if he should just kill Reno... end his apparent misery... but then where would he be himself... Reno's the only one who expresses interest in him

<Sanosuke> Hojo was to blame for all of this... of course, if Reno was miserible at all it meant somewhere inside lurked a human heart... 

<Gabriel> "If Hojo wasnt dead i'd kill him..."

<Sanosuke> "What's that Cloud?" Tifa looked up at him.

<Gabriel> "Nothin... Tifa.... would you object if... I had Reno here.. or anything?

<Sanosuke> "What?? I thought you hated him?? I thought he... did stuff to you??"

<Sanosuke> She looked baffled now.

<Gabriel> "He did.. but.. I  have a lot in common with him.. and.... I dunno... maybe I can help him or ... something..

<Sanosuke> "I... Cloud... oh.. it's up to you.. it's your house."

<Gabriel> "If it upsets you I wont.."

<Sanosuke> "It's your house Cloud.. I'll live with it."

<Gabriel> "Okay...  Im sorry... "

<Sanosuke> "it's ok." Tifa cleaned up the table.

<Gabriel> Cloud sighs "I wish he hadnt ever showed up here though..."

<Sanosuke> "Because you didn't want to go through this?"

<Gabriel> "Because I would have rather lived in blissful ignorance.."

<Sanosuke> "Wouldn't we all..." Tifa smiled slightly then went to the kitchen.

<Gabriel> Cloud frowns... wondering what that means...  

<Sanosuke> Reno prolly hadn't wandered far.. he seemed to stay close to where Cloud was.

<Gabriel> Cloud sighs and gets up ... deciding to take a walk "Tifa...I'll be back shortly.."

<Sanosuke> Tifa waved, her hand covered in soap suds from the dishes.

<Gabriel> Cloud goes outside.. and breathes in the warm flower scented night air

<Sanosuke> He soon  heard Reno behind him... could litterly sense him.

<Gabriel> Cloud stops and turns to Reno

<Sanosuke> "Come out to find me?" Reno asked.

<Gabriel> "Only sorta..'

<Sanosuke> "Did you think on the question I left to you?"

<Gabriel> "You want me to kill you?"

<Sanosuke> "I don't hunt death but I do welcome it if it comes... that is how I am."

<Gabriel> "Then tell me straight.. what do you want from me?"

<Sanosuke> "I want you..."

<Gabriel> "Want me.... how?"

<Sanosuke> "You know how."

<Gabriel> "Just that way....."

<Sanosuke> "That's all I know."

<Gabriel> "But that wont bring me the peace I seek.."

<Sanosuke> "What will then?"

<Gabriel> "I dont... really know.. so I guess.. I have to ... you"

<Sanosuke> "What?"

<Gabriel> "fine.. if you want me.... have me.."

<Sanosuke> "I do want you." Reno came closer and ran a hand through Cloud's hair.

<Gabriel> Cloud shivers a little... and closes his eyes "Then you can have me.... "

<Sanosuke> "Take me somewhere... warm."

<Gabriel> "Any suggestions?"

<Sanosuke> "Your place?"

<Gabriel> "Okay.. I told Tifa..."

<Sanosuke> "Good. Let's go then."

<Gabriel> Cloud heads back to his place...  knowing he has to go through with this now

<Sanosuke> Tifa wasn't there.. she prolly went out for the night.

<Gabriel> Cloud leads Reno back to his room... and sits on the bed

<Sanosuke> Reno stripped again for him.

<Gabriel> Cloud looks at Reno, unsure what to do with him...

<Sanosuke> Reno went over and sat on him, pulling off Cloud's clothing.

<Gabriel> Cloud shivers as Reno's cool flesh touches his

<Sanosuke> Reno nuzzled Cloud's neck slowly, hands moving across his warm body, absorbing some heat as they went.

<Gabriel> Cloud closes his eyes, his heart rate increasing quickly from Reno's simple touches

<Sanosuke> simple yet highly skilled touches.. followed by a peirced tongue tracing the line of his jaw.

<Gabriel> A soft moan slips from Cloud's lips.. barely audible 

<Sanosuke> That's where the tongue went next.. into his mouth.. and this time he didn't taste anything odd... no posions flooding into his mouth.

<Gabriel> Cloud whimpers a little into the kiss, enjoying it... but as always timid

<Sanosuke> The tongue stud rubbed against the roof of his mouth as cold smooth hands worked down his thighs.

<Gabriel> Cloud finally does something... moving a hand up to play with Reno's hair

<Sanosuke> The hair felt like normal human hair to the touch... and Reno's hands worked their way around Cloud's cock, stroking it.

<Gabriel> cloud gasps at that.... moaning deeply, his fingers curling into Reno's hair and pulling slightly

<Sanosuke> Reno was making him hard as they kissed... working one hand to cup his sack.

<Gabriel> Cloud arches his back moaning even more into the kiss, the sensations nearly too much for him

<Sanosuke> Reno his hips up till Cloud's hardness was touching his entrance.

<Gabriel> Cloud shivers.... upon the feeling of Reno being in that position... and just imagining how he does that

<Sanosuke> Reno moved his hands to Cloud's sides as he let Cloud in.. being nice and tight despite the many times he'd surely been fucked.

<Gabriel> Cloud kicks slightly as his cock is suddenly wrapped in Reno's tightness...   

<Sanosuke> Reno looked as if he was sitting... yet he was still able to have Cloud on his back and kissing him at the same time... because of his flexible body.

<Gabriel> Cloud would be amazed... if his mind wasnt wrapped in a haze of intense pleasure

<Sanosuke> Reno moved up and down, pulling his hands under Cloud to move the blonde's hips with him.

<Gabriel> Cloud continues to moan...  his arms limp as waves of intense pleasure nearly knock him out

<Sanosuke> It didn't mater that Reno felt cold any more... Cloud's body heat was enough for the both of them as the former turk continued his sexual work.

<Gabriel> Cloud finally bursts within Reno, his superhuman body relatively weak when it  comes to stimulation

<Sanosuke> Reno closed his eyes and lifted his head up from Cloud's mouth, letting out some sound of either pleasure or triumph.. maybe both.

<Gabriel> Cloud just lies on his back, panting... his eyes open wide.... 

<Sanosuke> Reno moved and spread out over him like he was a heating rock.

<Gabriel> Cloud finally weakly draws an arm around Reno... perhaps finally accepting him

<Sanosuke> Reno was getting a little warmer as he fell asleep on Cloud, picking up his body heat.

<Gabriel> Cloud pulls the blankets around them after he recovers a bit... 

<Sanosuke> It seemed that Reno had never actually slept with someone before... was it because he trusted Cloud or accepted any fate Cloud might bring?

<Gabriel> Cloud falls asleep playing with the turks scruffy hair... not sure what else to do

<Sanosuke> maybe this is what Reno felt he had left to live for.

 

<Gabriel> Cloud wakes up slowly...

<Sanosuke> Reno was still asleep over him, not quite as cold.

<Gabriel> Cloud looks at Reno, then traces a finger along his cheek

<Sanosuke> He was cute... and skin rather soft and pleasing.

<Gabriel> "Too bad.. all you want is my body..."  Cloud says softly

<Sanosuke> That was cause Reno couldn't feel.. he was made to be cold and not feel... but he seemed to have the barest emotions in him still...

<Gabriel> Cloud continues to stroke Reno's cheek... almost lovingly

<Sanosuke> Reno began to stir... slowly....

<Gabriel> Cloud smiles 

<Sanosuke> Reno sat up and stretched slowly, yawning.

<Gabriel> Cloud watches him... letting himself admire Reno's form.

<Sanosuke> "Your nice and warm to sleep on." Reno told him.

<Gabriel> "You dont usually stay around after sex... do you?"

<Sanosuke> "No, I usally slip off to eat.. if I havn't already."

<Gabriel> Cloud nods.. and runs a hand down Reno's chest "So why'd you stay?"

<Sanosuke> "You're warm and I have no where to go."

<Gabriel> "You ... wanna stay with me then?"

<Sanosuke> "Yes, I do."

<Gabriel> "Okay... just... no eating people.. around me..."

<Sanosuke> "I never said i eat people.. I eat small things.. I can only injest the blood of things to large to eat quickly.. and only warm blooded creatures."

<Gabriel> "Oh.. okay"

<Sanosuke> Reno sat on the bed, "I'm a killer by design... that doesn't make me evil."

<Gabriel> Cloud nods "I understand... :

<Sanosuke> "Your nature is oppisit I suppose... you don't like killing... you just fight."

<Gabriel> "I got really sick when I killed... Sephiroth... Tifa had to take care of me.."

<Sanosuke> "What made it so sickening?"

<Gabriel> "just... killing..... him.. it made me feel so.. not wanting to move.."

<Sanosuke> "But he was a freak as you might say."

<Gabriel> "I liked him....... he was always my hero..."

<Sanosuke> "So that's what made you sick.. to have to kill him.. even though he was insane most likely."

<Gabriel> "I guess... Tifa had to feed me... I ... feel guilty about that.... but I came around eventually..."

<Sanosuke> "Life and death are both just things to me... I don't feel much for either of them."

<Gabriel> "What if I died. you'd just eat me or something right?  Like If I just dropped dead right here... right now"

<Sanosuke> "Most likely since it's in my nature but then I'd have nothing to do... There'd be nothing more for me to do."

<Gabriel> Cloud nods "you'd wanna die then/"

<Sanosuke> "I said before I do not go seaking death but I will acept it when it comes..."

<Gabriel> "Okay... so you dont care if I do die.. and you dont care if I dont..."

<Sanosuke> "I can't feel for it.." He said softly.

<Gabriel> "Its okay... youre... company... and you want me.. "

<Sanosuke> "The sparks of emotion I sometimes feel are just like the scales on my torso.. a mistake from Hojo... not intended..." But Reno sighed after saying that.

<Gabriel> Cloud reaches up and caresses the scales "But its a nice mistake.... both things..."

<Sanosuke> "I suppose so." Reno's scales were so smooth... it was pleasurable to feel them.

<Gabriel> Cloud  continues caressing the scales... enjoying thier feel... touching them almost arousing in itself

<Sanosuke> "You like them then?" Reno asked.

<Gabriel> Cloud nods, and sits up, moving closer to Reno

<Sanosuke> Reno lay back and moved his legs around Cloud.

<Gabriel> Cloud strokes his hands down Reno's torso... finding him very pleasing at the moment for some odd reason

<Sanosuke> the scales did not cover.. they were in small patches on parts of the torso and thighs.. they were all so smooth, sperating them from the tattood skin.,

<Gabriel> Cloud kisses Reno, finding it not as hard as he imagined to want this man

<Sanosuke> Reno kissed back and ran his hands along Cloud's shoulders.

<Gabriel> Cloud mm's softly... trying to remain casual until he's really ready to do it on his own  

<Sanosuke> Reno just moves his hands, gently caressing Cloud's back.

<Gabriel> Cloud makes a soft purring sound.. and explores Reno's chest with his lips

<Sanosuke> The tattoos.. the peircings... and the scales... Cloud's lips traveled them all.

<Gabriel> Cloud enjoys Reno's exotic taste.... licking and nibbling here and there

<Sanosuke> Reno didn't seem to respond much to it other then to ripple his fne muscless and caress Cloud's back more.

<Gabriel> Cloud continues to sample Reno's body... moving downwards slowly

<Sanosuke> The scales had a flavor different from the skin.. but both tasted wonderful./

<Gabriel> Cloud stops at Reno's waist.... looking his cock curiously

<Sanosuke> It looked like a normal human one... nothing really odd about it.

<Gabriel> Cloud nuzzles it... acting a  little like a child with his curiosity

<Sanosuke> Reno made a sound in his throat, though it really wasn;t a human sound...

<Gabriel> Cloud then licks Reno's cock.. to see what kind of Reaction that gets him

<Sanosuke> The cock started to harden and Reno's fingers entwined in Cloud's hair.

<Gabriel> Cloud decides he's going to do what Reno did to him out in the jungle.... and slips the cock into his mouth

<Sanosuke> It didn't taste bad at all... and hardend further in his mouth.

<Gabriel> Cloud begins to suckle.. rolling his tongue around it

<Sanosuke> Reno's fingers held onto his hair while his legs found someway to wrap around him

<Gabriel> Cloud continues to suck... deep throating the cock, and drawing hard at times

<Sanosuke> Reno makes strange noises.. but they seem to be some of enjoyment... letting himself go for a time.

<Gabriel> Cloud continues on... making it last as long as he can for Reno

<Sanosuke> Reno really didn't have much in him but he did have some... and let Cloud have it after a time.

<Gabriel> Cloud drinks it greatfully.. then uses Reno as a pillow

<Sanosuke> Reno held him. "Didn

<Sanosuke> t think anyone would ever do that."

<Gabriel> "You didnt... like it then?"

<Sanosuke> "I liked it..."

<Gabriel> "good.. thats all that matters"

<Sanosuke> "What about you?"

<Gabriel> " I liked it... it was new"

<Sanosuke> "Prolly would be poisones to anyone else."

<Gabriel> "Its okay though... you can have it from me anytime you want.."

<Sanosuke> "This is why I stay... you won't die from my body."

<Gabriel> "Everyone else has?"

<Sanosuke> "They can... if I stay to long they get posioned by my body.. which is why mostly I only have fast sex with."

<Gabriel> Cloud nods .. and nestles against Reno "Well... you can do whatever you want with me"
