Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elena blinked strangely at Cody, she kind of..wasn't very hungry right now.Probably the sight of blood,and the nervous feeling she had currently wasn't makeing her hungry at all.She never would of wanted to attack Rufus..So now, didn't that mean Cody would be on a fugitive list for attacking him? The next thing that cought her atention was how he was speaking. Did Reno rub off on everyone? "I dont think im very hungry..But..Where did Rufus go? And what does this mean for us?"

Cody shook his head and licked one of his fangs. " Dont worry about it...cmon...let's go out somewhere." He grinned and walked over to the mantle, where the sword of the silver haired girl was...and placed a note on the hilt as he turned to walk to the door, holding it open with a grin. " Shall we 'lena?"

"...Okay, I guess..But I still want to know where Rufus is at least.." Heck, she didn't even know if she was still a Turk at the moment. Did they still have there job? Sure would be strange if they did.Elena turned away from the bed she had placed the girl upon before she headed over to the doorway, walking out and standing off to the side while she waited for him. "Oh, and what did you write on that note?" She tapped her foot lightly against the hard wood floors while watching the young man.

He was very much diferent from the power from Vamprei,Though she had always thought that demon was evil, and would never have helped anyone else,Unless of course, the one linked to him commands it.So many strange confuseing things have happend lately, which was getting a little annoying,so she decided not to think about it.At least she was here with Cody,whom seemed to be about the nicest turk so far..

It looked like there was no getting out of this one. She had dug herself into this hole, and it looks like there was only one way out. And that was to fess up. She then noticed something else... it had gotten dead silent in the room. The only thing that could be heard was the occassional clanking of dishes and people shifting about in their seats. She glanced around the room, her eyes staring at the many people who were listening in on their conversation. Once again, all eyes were on her. Ugh... sometimes she hated the attention.

Turning her gaze from the people, she met eyes once more with Reno, shifting about uneasily in her seat. Well, she had no choice. Besides, the sooner she said it, the sooner people would stop their staring. Nodding slightly to herself she took in a deep breath as she started, placing down her fork as she began to fumble with her fingers slightly, "Well.. um.. It's because.... because.." Tifa shook off her hesitation, just deciding to blurt out the statement quickly, "Because I have feelings for you. After all this time we spent together today.. Unlike some people, you make me feel like I actually matter, and I'm not just some friend that just hangs around... I love you, okay?" She quickly turned her head, her heart racing as she exhaled heavily. Did she just say that? She was hoping that was just her mind talking. She did not just say that aloud...right?

Cody grins. " Well, I'm trying -not- to be in the building when she wakes up....to find something out...." He shrugged. " Reno's really responsible when he needs to be....." He tilted his head. " Oh, and Rufus is dead....in so many words."

Reno blinks...as the food he was holding in his chopsticks fall to the plate with a soft splat, he looks at her eyes..."You didn't blink...." He grins, and, scooting his stool closer leans over and kisses her lips gently. " The fact that you can love me...knowing what I did to......" He frowns, jerking his head in the direction of Sector seven. " Y'know.....but hey..I guess......I love ya too Tifa...." He grins and leans over, kissing her lightly again as the entire room begins applauding.

The young woman blinked slightly, taking note of the silence once more as it had gotten even quieter because of her words. She shuddered slightly, beginning to wonder if Reno had began to snicker with laughter.. or maybe he just walked away. What if he declined? What if he didnt return her love, like the famous ex-Soldier..? It was these thoughts that caused her to turn her head to face Reno...only to be greeted by his lips immediately making contact with her own. This made Tifa blinked rapidly in surprise, a blush creeping over her cheeks as they parted, her ears listening in on his words as she stared directly into his eyes. A smile crept across her face as the Turk hesitantly spoke of the incident with Sector Seven all those years ago, causing Tifa to shake her head as she said, "Reno... Just because you did all that back then.. doesnt mean that I cant forgive you."

And then, he said it. He spoke those words that she had always wanted to hear. She heard him say 'I love you too Tifa.' Was it...true? She replayed his words in the back of her mind, her eyes welling up with tears of pure joy as her smile seemed to brighten, leaning over as her lips met with his once more in a gentle kiss. Her ears tuned in on the applause, only causing her to become even more over-joyed inside. Breaking the kiss, she embraced him tightly, a few tears streaming down her cheeks. Finally... she had found someone who could return her love..

The door to the the bar burst open as a familiar ex-Soldier glared at the people within. He was breathing heavily, looking as if he had walked a very long distance. He quickly scanned the room, locking his attention to the one who had stolen his precious vehicle. Cloud gritted his teeth slighty as he slowly approached the couple sitting at the long bar table. The other residance within the bar watched silently as he drew closer to them, the ex-Soldier's boots echoing with every step he took. Upon reaching her, Cloud slowly took a seat next to the dark brunette as he rested one arm on the bar counter. He closed his eyes and breathed in, trying to catch his breath one last time before speaking.

"Tifa.....did it seem like a good...or funny idea to just take my bike?"

Reno grins suddenly, twirling a key on his finger as he lit a cigarette. " How's it goin Spike? He grinned as he slipped it into his pocket, taking another bite of his food. " Why you gotta interrupt me and my girlfriend with your whiny bullshit yo?" He grins as he takes another bite.
