It was only a moment. The burning inside his skin. The laughter would not stop. No matter how much he tried to drown it. His hands grabbing and pulling his hair out. His screaming inside the liquid tube of water; never to be heard. He cried and the chains upon his neck, writs and ankles; marking him as their pawn.

He lifted his heads, looking at the people whom he'd learn to call his friends. Now were nothing more than strangers. The president sipped his drink as he watched emotionlessly his formal guard/Turk. Reno's eyes bleed with sorrow as his pupils started to react to the injection. The only thing he said before the world of darkness took him was "why…?". Leaving all he had to wonder.

It's been two years after the incident with Sephiroth return and defeat. A year and a half since he had dreams of that day; haunting him never the less. Reno was no longer Reno his name was now either 001 or Rathron. His formal was still of a sly fox like man but with more hidden muscle. He smiled as he watched his sanpai's walk through the room. He crocked his head towards the Blondie called "Elena" if he remember. She never wanted to be near him actually anyone from the elite Turks didn't want to be near him for some reason.

Especially that black guy called "Rune" or wasn't it "Rude"? He called him Rune since "Rude" was too rude for him to call him that, even if it was his name.

The president "Rufy" was pretty nice; he would always talk to Rathron and never seem out of place while talking to him as a normal person. Rufy didn't like how Rathron called him but he simply couldn't remember his name.

"Tend-Thing" was pretty… cold as a person and wouldn't dare speak a word with him unless it had to do with a mission. But Rathron could not let his pretty hands off of him as he played jokes with him in the past but now he was restricted from doing anything by the sort; orders by Rufus.

"Reno!" Called Rufy, Rathron crocked his head at his master and smiled and jumped on his master's back and asked "Why you call me that Rufy?" Rufus responded angrily "My name is RUFUS , Reno. And anyhow I have the right to call you whatever I want, no? so leave it at that." I had forgotten his name already then asked "Where are we going?"

Rufus push Rathron off and said monotonously as always "We're going to the ShinRa's Reunion; there's going to be the Turks and I Know your master Dr.Histal is going to be there to check you." Rathron blinked, Rufy always talked about parties when the Turks were there as-if it were important to him. He didn't mind but he was curiosa.

Rathron got back on his feet and notice his favorite cat Dark Nation and purred in delight. "Dark nation coming as well?" asked Rathron hopefully. Rufus sighed for reason unknown and said annoyed "Yes.. dark nation is coming as well." Rathron jumped happily saying "yes!" as he followed Rufus from behind.

Rune walked towards Rufus keeping his distants far from him as he knew Rune far too well. They spoke of things in whispers and Rathron couldn't care if he tried, so he left it alone and spoke with DN. "so what are you doing, mew?" Rathron said mocking as a cat. Dark Nation never letting her eyes of her master said "Nothing. Just the same." Rathron giggled as Rune turned to look at him as if he was mad, even if through sunglasses.

Soon Rufus was greeted by Elena happily and Tend-Thing monotonously. Dark Nation was the only thing that kept him from feeling outcast by these people and Rufus didn't force Rathron into their conversation, since so many awkward feeling came along these people till the point they lost all conversation. Rathron watched eagerly the four and felt pushed into a furniture object or something push in nearly invisible.

Dark Nation was a beauty and strong insistently cold and straight forward, her fur was similar to jet black with a silk(ing) of blue giving it highlights. She wore a golden Collar with a heave red ruby diamond like jewel.

Rathron smiled at his love, oh how he wish he could call her that. But he was unable to turn to his form when within human contact that excluded the scientist and lab rooms. She would not allow it either; saying her master would not be please never explaining why thou'.

Elena turned to look at him, he notices quickly and she turned away just as quickly. Now she seemed sadder than before and he was to blame. Rathron keep the monotone blank face as he whispered to Dark Nation time in and time out. Tend-Thing turn to me as he must-of heard me whisper thing to Dark Nation; unlike Elena her stared even as I stared into his eyes.

For some reason I kept getting a feeling as-if he wanted to walk to me and say sorry, even with those uncaring eyes. I crocked me head to my right and wonder if I should ask. "Tend- Thing! What so important of the Turks?" For some reason right after I asked, Elena said about having something to do and left, leaving Rune and Tend-Thing looking at me if I'd became crazy.

I blinked waiting for an answer, while all I got was a command "No one said you could talk." From Tend-Thing as he left with Rune only moments before leaving Rufus alone, not looking at me.

I couldn't in human sense see Rufus eyes but I saw them very well, as he spoke "… I forgot to tell you… Your suppose to stay in Fox form, for the party and do not change for any reason." He walked to me, with that all liar's smirk of pride. I smiled as I jumped here and there knowing I could speak with DN forever in such annoying old man's party.

you are someone else
I am still right here…
