A/N: These will be a collection ofone-shots. Each one-shot has something to do with the Tarot cards (first twenty-five, that is.) This is the first one!
0-The Fool.
Upright- Beginnings, most probably of journeys which may be possibly mental, physical, or spiritual. The beginning of a new life-cycle. Energy, force, happiness, and optimism. The overturning of the status quo of existing states by unexpected happenings. Innocence, naivety, and spontaneity. Important decisions to be made.
Reversed- advised risks, impulsive action, choices and rash decisions. Foolishness, gambling, instability, and the wasting of frittering way of creative energy. A bad time for commitments and can be an indication of someone who starts many new things but never finishes them.

0 -The Fool
It's a foolish thing, really. A woman chasing after a man who's eyes are only on another woman. I'm the foolish woman. He's the man that has my heart. I love his voice, so soft and smooth, it makes you think you're listening to a dark angel, maybe even an angel. His hair, raven and long, looks so soft I want so badly to run my fingers through it, to comfort him when he's thinking of her. I love his ruby red eyes that glow and can stare into your only own soul. I love how his pale skin, that looks almost white, glows in the moonlight. When rain hits his gorgeous skin, I have to stop myself from running over to him and touching him, like no nineteen-year-old should touch a sixty-year-old man, even though he only looks twenty-seven. I love his body, hard muscles in all the right places, not too big or small. I can only imagine how his arms feel wrap around me, protecting me, loving me...but he never will. He's too in love with her.
Today is like any ordinary day, me watching him from afar talking to the young girl that reminds him of the woman that fate never allowed him to be with. He look so happy when he is with her, I can never come between them. I will never tell him how I feel. I will go to my death gladly as long as I know he is finally happy.
If you don't know who the man is he's Vincent Valentine. The man who stole my heart. I'm in love with him. I know I shouldn't since he's way older than me, but my heart doesn't seem to care. Before I met him, I didn't care about many things, only collecting Materia to gain back Wutai's former glory. I could always make it on my own. But when I first laid my eyes on him, in that old coffin, I only wanted him. He only wanted her.
Lucrecia Cresent. That's the woman's name. I hate her for taking Vincent's heart...but I despise her for breaking it. Leaving Vincent and choosing that sadist scientist, Hojo. When I first heard that story, I was thinking, 'What the hell was she thinking?' I mean, look at Vincent! He's hot and kind. What was Hojo? I know it wasn't for his looks and it was definitely not for his personality either. I hate her but I like to thank her. It's because of her, I got to meet such a great man as Vincent. Even though she had to use that demon to keep him alive.
Watching Vincent and Shelke chat like old friends, it hurts. When he returned from Lucrecia's cave, he went straight to her. There was no 'Hello.'or 'Thank you for worrying about me.' Nope. Sometimes I wish I was Shelke. Who cares if she looks nine, all that matters in the end is who Vincent is paying attention to. Looking at their table, I see Vincent smiling, not a fake smile, but a true genuine smile. Why is fate so cruel? I spent years trying to see that smile. I finally get to see it, but it's not the way I hoped it would happen.
It was all because of Shelke. Why did she get to make him smile? It is just not fair! I want Vincent. No, I need him. I would die for him.
The thought hit me like a ton of bricks. Dying. Sooner or later, we die. Dying for love, pleasure, greed, or get rid of pain and suffering. It's all the same. You die. Why wait for the perfect moment to sacrifice yourself for a good cause. No one is going to remember. One day, they will forget all about it. So I did the only thing a heartbroken woman would do, I run.
I run as far as I could go through Midgar. I bumped into a few people as I went. I heard one of them shouting at me to watch where I was going but I really didn't care. My lungs was burning from running for so long. I wish only for all the pain to go away.
I kept going until I bumped into someone else but this time, I was stopped. "Where are you going?" the voice asked me, worried. The voice belongs to Shera, Cid's wife. She has always been kind to me, no matter what I do, she's always there when I need help. I look up to her as a mother figure since I never had known my mother.
"Come on. Let's go home." Shera guided me to Cid's airship, the Shera. When we approach the airship, Cid stared at me and turn his eyes to his wife for an anwer to why I was her. Shera just shook her head at her husband, saying that she will explain later. She walked me to her room and sat me down on the bed.
After few uncomfortable minutes, she finally spoke. "This is about Vincent?" she question me, I think it was more of a statement. I didn't want to lie to the only one who cared, so I told her the truth.
"Yes." That's all she needs to know.
"I'm sorry. Yuffie, if you need anything, please come to see me, okay?" I nod at her statement and cried. I cried until my eyes were red and sore. I felt the tears bursting down my cheeks as Shera comforts me the best way she can.
I love Vincent Valentine. I always will. Even when I know he may never feel the same way...I know...
I, Yuffie Kisaragi, the White Rose of Wutai, am a fool.
