Shinra Inc.

Shinra Inc.


This is my first time doing a FF7 fic so be nice to me. Flames will be used to set you or your house on fire he he he J/K. Feel free to criticize me some criticism is good, but to much will make Rufus angry and he will send Reno out to kill you. (Rufus looks triumphant) So enjoy!

I don't own squarenix or any of the Final Fantasy characters I use in my fic's but I wish I did sometimes.

Reno’s day was turning out to be an odd one. First he was out on the street getting attacked by wild birds and the next thing he knew, he was being told he was getting a job with ShinRa. The man helped him up off the concrete, dusted him off, and fixed his shirt. Reno finally snapped out of his trance, still not quite sure what was happening.

"Damn conundrum this is, first I'm in SOLDIER and now I'm being promoted," he said as he looked up at the man wearing dark sunglasses. "You know you could have helped me out back there with those damn birds." The man just grunted and turned around and walked away towards the Shinra office building. "You know it's rude not to introduce your self." Reno said, pointing at his retreating form.

"It's also rude to point," The man said, straightening out his tie. Calmly, he walked into the building, courteously holding the door open for the newbie. "Well, are you a Turk or not?" All patience was lost from his voice as he gestured to the open door.

Reno walked down winding corridors as he followed the colossus of a man in front of him. "You know, you still haven't told me your name." The other man was still silent and walking as if he heard nothing. "Yeah, ignore me for all I care. Maybe you would listen if I had a megaphone on hand." The man then stopped in front of him and he turned around, kicking open the door for him. In the room were two chairs and a desk with a nice looking office chair behind it.

"Sit down and shut up. Don't move out of this room with out permission and wait for your supervisor." Reno stared blankly at the man, unable to believe the sort of disrespect he had to put up with.

"You don't have to be so..." The redhead stopped as a black haired man came in.

"Thank you, Rude. You are dismissed. Now, you must be Reno Libertine," the man said. "I'm Tseng; the head of the Turks division. The man that brought you in is Rude." He told the red head.

"Heh. Rude. That explains a lot. He doesn't say much does he?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rufus Shinra walked down the corridors as fast as he could without flat-out running. He made it to the firing range in time to see their scrawny new recruit, shooting at a target, missing terribly.

"You know you should calm down and think of where you want to shoot on the target," said a strange new voice from behind him. Reno and Tseng both turned around to see the V.P. standing behind them.

"Sir," Tseng said, bowing to his superior.

"Yo, I think," Reno said giving a slipshod SOLDIER solute. Tseng just pulled Reno down by the shirt into a bowing stance.

"Relax. I'm not my father." Under his breath he muttered a relieved, ‘Thank God.’ "You must be the new recruit," he said, extending a hand for Reno to shake.

"Yes, sir," he said raising his head, shaking the offered hand. "The name is Reno; Reno Libertine. Nice to meet you, mister… uh...?" Reno paused as he forgot what Tseng said his name was in the orientation.

"Rufus Shinra, Vice President," he said with a small smile.

"Well nice to meet you then, sir… err… Rufus… err… Mr. Vice President..."

Tseng just looked at Reno with a grimace. Your gonna get it, he though. "I'm sorry about that, sir. He is still in training," he apologized.

Rufus just looked at him and said, "It's alright. You can call me whatever you feel most comfortable with." Tseng couldn’t believe his ears. He looked from Rufus, baffled, then to Reno.

"Ok," Reno said as he smiled a toothy grin. He picked up his gun and resumed his training, still firing and missing every time.


"Hey, Reno!" Rufus said trying to be heard over the gun shots. Reno put his gun down on the table next to him and looked over at his new boss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reno was walking down corridors again but this time with Rufus. He said he wanted to show him something in his office. "This is my office," he said closing the door behind them. He pulled a metal rod out of a nice looking case beside his desk.

"This is an Electro Mag Rod or an EMR. It is a prototype so it hasn't been tested yet. Would you like to use it and tell me the results?" he said putting the rod in Reno's hand. "After all, you seem more like a close combat sort of guy to me." Reno swung the rod in the air and spun it in one hand until he almost dropped it but caught. Unfortunately, it was the wrong end, resulting in a very painful shock.

"FUCK!"

Reno dropped the rod and looked at Rufus who was trying not to laugh in front of him. "I probably should have told you a little more about the E.M.R. before I gave it to you." Reno just grunted, trying to fix his hair which was making Rufus laugh harder.

"Well, the E.M.R. is an electromagnetic rod that shocks its enemy, usually knocking them out cold," Rufus said after gaining his composure. Reno just looked at him with a look that said 'thanks' sarcastically.

Rufus opened the door for Reno. "You know, you're an O.K. guy. You’ve got balls, man. I like that. Usually guys just try to avoid one on one conversation with me," Rufus said putting his hand on Reno back.

"Thanks, sir. I guess I'll be seeing you around, then," Reno said tipping his head in affirmation. "And thanks again for the stick," he said with a smile.

Rufus just chuckled slightly. Such and odd one he is, but something about him makes me feels...

"Sir," said Rude, interrupting his thoughts.

"Yes," Rufus replied, slightly relieved that he stopped his train of thought, not pleased with its destination. "We have the reports from Junon, sir," Rude said eagerly awaiting his approval to go over it with him.

"Reno. Is he...."

Rufus started to think out loud about the redhead who’d just left again.

"Sir?"

Rufus shook his head and waved for Rude to enter his office.

Reno looked up at the ceiling, picturing the blond man from earlier. 'Man. He sure is something'. "WHAT AM I THINKING?" Reno said surprised at his own thoughts. He looked out the nearby window, hoping to clear his head. It was getting dusky out and the clouds that remained in the sky were red and orange. He let out a sigh. "I'm supposed to be a lady killer, eh? And here I am thinking about a guy; my boss no less."

Reno just looked across Midgar; looking down into the city lights. He laid back on his bed until he heard the door open. Rude came in and walked to the kitchen, looking in the fridge then up to see Reno behind him. "Oh, it's you, rookie," he said with a slight tilt of his head, noticing Reno's somewhat charred hair and laughed. Reno just shrugged it off and sat on the couch.

"So you want a beer?" Rude said, sitting next to him, showing him the other in his hand.

"Sure," Reno said, looking exhausted.

"Sorry about earlier. I was pissed off about President Shinra's board meeting. He's cutting our wages again." Reno took a sip of his beer, patiently listening to his partner.

"Well, that is a reason to be pissed right there."

Rude and Reno sat on the couch for about three hours, just talking and drinking. After a ridiculous number of drinks, the two found themselves dozing off into a dreamless slumber.
