p. Chapter 1 ./p

p/p

pShe remembered as if it all just happened yeasterday... Memories flashed through her mind and sadness took over her. Why? She missed it all! The old days when she was with Cloud Strife and the rest of AVALANCHE saving the world. A month had passed since she'd seen them. Cloud was with Tifa Lockheart. They were meant for each other, well that's what she thought. Whatever it was, being with the gang was better than being at home, with her old man always nagging at her. After all she had done, after saving the world.... This is what she got. It was true, for the first few days, she got what she deserved. Her father praised her, everyone in town treated her like she was someone else... Something else. But then it ended. They forgot about everything and treated her like she was just the same old teenager. When Yuffie was with AVALANCHE, she was something more. But then everything had to change. Sometimes she wished Sephiroth was still there, so the old group could get back together. br /p

pbr Her father. He was a great ninja! Not as good as she was though. She never really liked it at home. It got kind of lonely. Even though she was a ninja, she still had to do school. It got stressing when her father kept pressuring her into things. Until she ran away and met the AVALANCHE members. Her life began to get exciting after. She was in for the ride of her life.. Memories are nice.. But, there just memories.. Wait a sec! My life started to get better when I met Cloud, when I ran away. Maybe if I do it again....br /p

pbr A familiar voice rang through the halls into her room. She let out a sigh and stood up from her bedside. She liked it here. That was her thinking spot. The place where she gathered her thoughts, daydreamed, etc... She used to do it when she was a kid. Yuffie would get into fights with her father and come and hide near her bed where she used to think...br /p

pbr He started again.br /p

pbr I'm coming! She cut him off and started for the basement. There she met her father who had a stern look on his face. Something's wrong. He's in the serious mood. What'd I do?? !! I was good today! Running away.. Maybe I do need to be alone for a bit. A place where I can collect my thoughts, other than my room...br /p

pbr He began, breaking through her thoughts. I have something to tell you. Well- His voice was interrupted by a rapping noise on the door. He's here?? A smile spread across her father's face. What the hell's going on? Her dad raced to the door and opened it, revealing a tall handsome man. Yuffie, I know this may be a shock to you but I have decided it's time for you to get married... Meet Ryan, your Fiancé..br /p

pbr Her reaction was answered by a smile placed on Ryan's face. I hate that smile. You never said anything! What's going on?? I don't wanna get married! Why didn't you tell me sooner? WHAT KIND OF FATHER ARE YOU? Anger and frustration over took her as Ryan just stared at her smiling. Smiling. He didn't even say a word. That made her even more angry. Maybe running away is a good idea. I'm leaving, now before anything else happens.br /p

pbr I think your at the age now. You've grown up Yuffie! Maybe you haven't realized it yet, but I have. That time you spent with AVALANCHE, it made you more mature. As your father, I did what I thought was best for you. To have someone take care of you.He gave me one of those fake smiles and expected me to do something. What? Does he want me to make a good impression or something? No way!br /p

pbr I'm Sixteen! She said through gritted teeth. Most people don't get married until their around twenty! And NO! I AM NOT MATURE! I'm still the same from when i LEFT!br /p

pbr Ryan was standing, at the door. Just staring at her. He liked her, she could tell. His short red hair whipped in the wind and his blue eyes were glued to her. Ryan wan wearing a dark blue shirt with black pants. Hands in his pockets. She'd seen him around a few times, in Wutia. I think he lives on the other side of town. Why did he agree to this? I don't like him! With that she turned her back on him, giving Ryan and her father the cold shoulder. She went back up into her room and immediately began to start packing. Food, check. Water, check. Materia, check. Cloths and Items, check. Money, check. She was set. If she ever needed anything, she could just buy it from a store. Her clock read 5:30. She would leave at around midnight. She set her alarm clock and put the buzzer on low so it wouldn't wake up her father. Man he has ears like a cat! I wouldn't be surprised if he could hear things before they made a sound!! She smirked at her own comment. Yuffie would be up all night so she decided to get some rest until her alarm would wake her up.br /p

pbr Minutes turned to hours and time slowly passed. Yuffie found her self awake but dreaming. Thoughts were full in her head. Married? She still couldn't believe it. She refused to believe it. Maybe her dad was sick. Or..... *beep beep beep beep* Her alarm rang. She quickly woke from her haze and fumbled with it and turned it off. She immediately got up and took hold of her bag. Right then, her head swayed and she fell back on her bed. Running away? Is this the best thing to do? What if Pops gets to worried? Will he look for me? ... ewww.. What if he sent Ryan to look for me.... I know! I'll say I'm going to visit Tifa or something! She took hold of a piece of paper and scribbled down a note to her father and placed it beside her bed. He'll find it. With that over with, she snuck downstairs and through the front door.br /p

pbr The cool breeze hit her just as realization did. She was really running away again. Who would she meet? .... Where would she go? Idiot, you plan on running away and you don't even know where your going! Yuffie told herself. Well any place but here is good, I guess. Maybe she would visit Tifa. Maybe. She was ready for an adventure, and it would hit her straight on.br br /p
