Chapter 1

The princess of Wutai looked around her room and kicked her bed, she was mad at her father, he had gone and set up more suitors for her too pick from. She didn't want to get married, not now. She was only 19! She didn't want to get married just so she could rule Wutai, she would want to get married when she found the person she fell in love with. There was no one she loved at the moment, though she did still have a big crush on Vincent Valentine. She hadn't seen him or anybody from the old days in over a year. She had been living in Wutai training and turning down guy after guy. She stood in front of her full length mirror and looked at herself, she had changed so much in just a short year, after all that heavy training she wasn't so scrawny anymore. Her body was well shaped and had a lot of muscles. Her arms were no longer stringy, now they were well toned and shaped. Her legs were the same. Her hips were still small and boyish though. Her breasts still were small. She sighed and sat down on the bed thinking of what she would do about her father. She was a grown women now, she didn't need him treating her like a child. She thought of pulling a couple pranks on him like she had so many times in the past. But that would make him see how much of a child she still was. She thought of just running away again, it wasn't as if she hadn't done it before in the past. But she began thinking of not even coming back this time. She pulled out her bag from under her bed and began to fill it with clothes, materia and other things like potions and ethers. She grabbed her cloak and slung it over her head, it covered her face and fell to about her knees. Small kitty ears sprouted from the top of the hood. It would be best if nobody knew who she was. She quietly opened her window and slipped outside into the dark night.

Unsure of where she could go, Yuffie decided to go into the mountains first and think of where she could go from there. She soon found herself standing in front of one of the statues faces, she remembered the event of what happened there 3 years ago. Looking down on the ground she saw blood staining it. Cloud, Vincent and Cid had fought here to save her from the old pervert Don Corneo. She looked up at the two eyes where her and Elena had been kept captive. After that day Yuffie and Elena had a sort of connection, it wasn't until after Meteor fell, that the two had become sort of friends.

Yuffie squirmed and yelled trying to free herself from the ropes she was tied in.

"You had better let me go old man!!! Or I will kick your ass!!!" She screamed and spat at him.

"Ho-ho she's fiery!" He looked at her with eyes that made Yuffie want to throw up.

"Ewww!!! God I can't take it anymore!!" She squirmed causing her wrists to get hit with the rope, it burned she barely felt the pain.

She heard Elena sigh, "It's no use trying to get free, it's just easier to sit still and keep calm."

Yuffie looked at her and took a deep breath trying to calm down.

"I have made my decision! My lady for the night will be the feisty one!" He licked his lips.

Yuffie stopped trying to calm down. "Oh God!!! Grossness!! Stay away from me old man!!"

He slowly moved closer to her. But was stopped when a gun went whizzing past his head. "Wha-?"

Yuffie looked to see Cloud, Vincent and Cid standing there ready to fight. "Cloud, Vincent, Cid!! You guys came!"

Cloud looked at her sharply, "We only came because you have our materia."

Yuffie felt hurt, she looked at Vincent for comfort but looked away not wanting to make eye contact. Cid just stood there smoking and mumbling under his breath.

She watched as Corneo made up some stupid story to try and stall them then he unleashed a monster upon them. Yuffie hated just sitting there watching she watched as the monster attacked them as they bled and got bruised and all she could do was watch, it made her feel horrible. They didn't even have any materia. This was all her fault. The battle finally finished with Cid taking a jump at the monster killing it instantly. Corneo made a face then laughed it off. He asked them a question then flipped Yuffie and Elena upside down. Yuffie did NOT like it at all. The blood rushed to her head.

Cloud looked unsure of what to do. But it didn't matter because a very familiar voice came close to them. Yuffie looked to see Reno walking towards them. He flipped his hair and smiled at her, she felt butterflies in her stomach, but that could of just been the blood rushing to her head.

She watched as the Don was just about to push the button to make Elena and her fall. She closed her eyes and winced. But nothing happened, she heard a gun fire and looked at Vincent who was just standing there looking as confused as everybody else. Yuffie turned her head as much as she could and saw Rude standing there a gun in his hand, smoke slowly coming from it. Corneo almost fell from the statue but hung on with his hand.

"Good timing, Rude" Reno said.

Everyone turned to look at him he waved at them. "Let's get to work."

Reno smirked and then nodded, jumping over Cloud's head he walked and stood on Corneo fingers. He cried out in pain. "It'll all be over soon Corneo." Reno whispered to him. "Now why do you think we would go to all the trouble of teaming up with these people just to get you?"

Corneo looked unsure of what to say. Reno had given him 3 choices; Because we're ready to die, because we're sure of victory and because we're clueless. "Uh… N-number 2?"

Reno smirked then laughed. "All wrong." He pressed harder on his fingers making him squeal like a pig. He pleaded for him to stop but Reno continued on. He pushed his fingers off the statue and watched the Don fade away until he couldn't hear his screams. "The correct answer was…"

Rude finished his sentence; "….Because it's our jobs."

Elena looked like she was about to cry. "Thank you so much, I didn't think you would come."

Reno just looked at her. "Elena don't act so weak. You're a Turk."

She nodded. "Y-yes sir!"

Vincent looked at him, "Thank you for helping us."

Reno looked like he was about to say something but then his phone rang. "Yes…..We'll get on it right away." He put his phone away and looked sharply at everyone, "They want us to find Cloud…."

Cloud, Vincent and Cid stood ready to fight. Rude looked at Reno. "Are we on….?"

Reno shook his head. "No. We're off duty today."

Yuffie was now not feeling very well she stuttered to get out words. "Who….cares……bout….that… just GET ME DOWN!!"

Cloud and the others looked at her they nodded and then began to walk away.

"H-hey!? Aren't you going to get me down??"

Cloud looked at her. "The Turks can do that. You're more like them anyway." His blue mako eyes stung her. She felt insulted.

Vincent just looked at her like he might come help her, but no such luck. He walked away with Cloud and Cid.

Yuffie thought that she might cry, she liked Vincent at the time, they had been through a lot together. Yuffie and Vincent were always with Cloud on missions.

Reno seemed to catch up on that, he moved his hair out of his face, "I will return the brat to you later."

Cloud just walked away. "Just get her down quickly. We want our materia, then we're outta here."

Reno nodded. Rude had ran over and started untying Elena from her place. Reno jumped up and began to untie Yuffie.

"Thanks." She muttered.

He undid the ropes around her hands first, then spun her around so she was right side up, then he undid the ones around her ankles. She fell into his arms. He wrapped one around her shoulder and jumped down. She was a little wobbly from being upside down for so long. But after about a minute or two she was fine and started to walk away. But she felt a hand on her arm.

"Hey…your wrists…" Reno was looking down at her wrists which were burned.

"Oh…" Yuffie paused they hurt a little now but she wasn't going to show weakness to a Turk, Reno at that. "I've had worse, I'll live." She started to walk away again.

"Wait…" He pulled a bandage out of his pocket and began to put it on her wrists. "There."

Yuffie was shocked. "Thanks… Didn't know that Reno had a nice side."

Reno smirked. "Rude and Elena already left. How bout you pay me back?" He leaned in close and grabbed her chin and began to pull her closer.

SMACK!!! Of course the moment that happened Reno ended up getting a fist in his face. Yuffie didn't even turn to see if he was okay. "I should've known!!" She ran down the mountain and back into her house where Cloud, Vincent and Cid were waiting for her.

"What the hell took you so god damn long!?" Cid yelled slamming his fist down on the table they were sitting at. "We want our god damn materia!!" Cloud and Vincent just sat there silently.

"Okay I'll give it back to you.." She went over to the other side of the screen that separated the room. She came out with the large armful of materia and began to hand it all back to them. When she finished Cloud began to complain.

"They're all out of order!"

"At least you got them back!" Yuffie shot back at him.

They all just got up and started to leave without her.

"H-hey wait for me! I'm coming no matter what you say!" She ran after them finally catching up to them just outside of Wutai……

That had been 3 years ago, she still remembered every minute of it as if it were yesterday. The fear, anger and pain of it all she felt them all just thinking about it. After that day the others didn't treat her that well they didn't talk to her very much nor acknowledge her when she tried to do something, she still got to go on the missions, but only because she was the strongest one out of the group, even if nobody was going to admit it. She was even there when they fought Sephiroth. She was the one that delivered the final blow and caused him to die. Well at least at first, then Cloud finished the job but they wouldn't be able to do that without Yuffie. Cait Sith was the only one who still treated her the same, considered that he was Reeves of ShinRa. For some reason, even though she was from Wutai, the people at ShinRa seemed to like her more than Cloud and the others. Even Vincent was a little distant after that and she had been the closest one to him nobody else dared to get close to him but Yuffie just pretty much jumped on his back one day and he seemed to give in. It wasn't until after Kadaj and his gang came around that they started to trust her. And just a little while ago she and Vincent worked together to fight Deep Ground. But after that she lost touch with him.

That was it! She could go and see Vincent in Nibelheim, he would most likely let her stay with him, he did live alone in that big mansion. You'd think he would get lonely. She could go and cheer him up. He was always so depressed, and she was always so cheerful, it was like Yin and Yang. It would be hard to get there but she would just have to take a boat, there would be one in the morning that would come to Wutai there always was. She would just sneak onboard. But she still had a few hours before the ship would be arriving. There wouldn't be anything to do at this time of night. And she couldn't very well go home, her father probably knows by now that she ran away. She also realized that he would probably figure out that she was here, he had found her here many times before. It would be best if she left and went somewhere else. Wutai wasn't that large, but it was fair sized big enough that she could hide from her father and his staff. Most of them were ninjas like herself but none were as good as her. She decided to just go to the restaurant which was usually open 24 hours. Since she didn't go in there often most of the regulars probably didn't know what she looked like. She jumped down the mountain and headed for the restaurant, she opened the door the place was practically empty only a few people sat around either sleeping or were drunk. She sat down at the bar and ordered a pop, she didn't feel like having to whip out her I.D. She sipped it quietly and paid the bartender, then left. That wasted about an hour or so, her father must of not even noticed that she had left. She was pretty tired and figured that she could sleep for at least a little while before waking up and sneaking onto the ship. She fell asleep at the base of a tree not far from the entrance of the town. When she awoke there were three men standing over top of her. They looked like her father's special staff.

"Yuffie Kisaragi?" One of them said now holding a weapon close to her so she wouldn't escape.

"You'd think the old man would try a less dangerous way to get his daughter back." She laughed at them and glared into their eyes, she swore one of them flinched. Her Conformer was on her back and ready for her to throw at them for cornering her. But instead she stood up and punched one of them in the face, he fell back onto the ground.

The other two men snarled at her. "Godo said to bring you back at any means necessary." They pulled out their own weapons and stood in a battle. Yuffie laughed at them.

"I don't have time to play with you." She turned and began to climb up the tree like a cat until she was at the top. The men yelled at her and pulled out little throwing weapons, which from up there Yuffie couldn't tell what they were. They flew past her head one grazing the side of her arm causing a little blood to pour out. "Daddy isn't going to be happy with you when he sees this. Well that is if he sees it." And with that she jumped off the top of the tree onto another one and continuing the jumps onto other trees and rooftops until she saw the bay where the ship was beginning to depart.

"Oh shit!!" Yuffie cried. She began to run on the roof she on and jumped onto the next tree, the two men following her on the ground.

Eventually she was just as close as she could get to the ship without going on the ground and getting caught by the men below. She would have to make a jump for it. She stepped back a bit before running on the top of the tree and then jumping onto the ship, she almost didn't make it. Her hands were hanging onto the side railing, her stomach had rammed into the side of the boat almost making her fall off of it and plunging into the sea.

As soon as she caught her breath she swung herself around and onto the deck of the boat. Turning around she saw the two men standing at the end of the bay just starring at her as she faded away. She laughed at how easy that was. They were weak. Yuffie began to walk alongside the cabins and over to the main where most of the people would be. After the years her sickness of being on boats and airships had stopped, now it barely bothered her, unless there was a large wave.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and then on her mouth. Another arm pulled over her shoulders and pulled her close into them. Yuffie wanted to scream but there would be no point if her mouth was covered. She could feel that the person was a man, his chest was well muscled but not ultra buff like Barret, probably along the lines of Vincent. Yuffie felt a chin on the top of her head. And the person began to speak.

"I don't think that you have a ticket." The voice was smooth and almost joking. Yuffie knew who it was in an instant, it could only be one person. Reno.

Well here's chapter 1! I just recently fell in love with RenoXYuffie a couple of days ago, so I just had to write a fanfic about them. Now I might change the rating to M later on, but that would most likely be much later. I shouldn't even be doing this cause I have my HM fanfic to finish but whateva. So hope you enjoy!!
