Blah. This chapter is sorta..revised..
Oh, yes, how could I forget, most of the story'll be in Yuffie's POV! .. If it's bad, don't blame me, 'kay? This is my first time trying to write that style for the first time..
I made up Sephiroth's last name and age..because..well.. I didn't know his own.. Doesn't say anywhere. Let's just say I thought of "Professor Gast", though that may have been his first name.. Babbling again! Vincent's age has gone down remarkably to fit the plot.

Caught thieving valuables by Vincent, she manages to blackmail him into coming with her, while trying to get him to forgive her in the process. Aeris, killed in one of the earlier bombings, is revived by Tsuna, the girl to change sides from evil to good. Pairings are; YuffieVincent, CloudTifa, and TsunaSephiroth

Tears of Sorrow
Prologue: Trickery
I, a mere 15 year-old girl could have been praised for my completions. I was leader of a gang of thieves, not your regular I'm-going-to-steal-from-you-and-get-caught-someday kind of thieves, actually, now that I think of it, quite the opposite. We had actually never in all the years together been caught.
Shiyoku, my right-hand man--er, woman stood beside me, comforting me of all that had happened. Sure, I never though I'd actually cry for my father, but that was just one of the many petty lies I had been telling myself to keep me from being hurt..by anyone. That alone was the sole reason I never let myself get attached to anyone, for fear that they would be there one minute and then when I turned my back, if for only a second, they would be gone.
See, this is what happened. My mother, Kiki, died when I was 4. Being so young when her life was taken, I can't remember her now. My father, Godo, when I asked him about her, he would stiffen and turn away, giving me the cold shoulder. Godo died just a week ago, leaving me alone in the world. to fend for myself. My parents had no other children, therefore, I was an only child. Oh, and if you're wondering, Godo was the previous leader of the Tisaki's. My mother, the stubborn woman she supposedly was, didn't like the 'five-finger discount' way of life. Yeah, we weren't rich or anything, but, I prefer this way for I find it easier.
Finally getting annoyed with Shiyoku's constant talking, I turned from her and left. I don't know how long it will be until she realizes I have left her alone, but I doubt it would be soon. She's kind of..slow, if you know what I mean.
Greeat, next time I meet someone I'll have to reply to the 'What the hell is your name?' question after being asked for help, which, might I add, is asked oh-so frequently, 'Yuffie Kisaragi, Worlds biggest bitch,at your service!'
::Unknown Point of View::
I, 'spy' for the Tsuki gang, opened the gate of ShinRa Mansion and strolled through the yard, toward the front door. After arriving to the door, I opened it, only to be caught face-to-face with a mysterious dark-haired man, effectively blocking the way from getting inside.
I stared at the man. 'Hopefully, this is the man I have heard so much about,' I thought. Before the man could have a chance to talk, I quickly asked from the doorway, "Vincent Valentine?"
He looked up, crimson eyes piercing into my mako-enhanced green ones, before slowly nodding his head.
"I am Yasuki, and I have some information that you may want to know. You have heard of the Tsuki's, right?" I introduced myself. I took the nod from the slightly annoyed the other man, as a yes, I continued, "Well, keep on guard, the Tsuki's shall be here on this night."
Before I could have a chance to say any more, Vincent nodded once more and slammed the door in my face.
After walking back out the gate, I smirked. My plan was going accordingly. Next stop; Neibel Area.
::Yuffie's Point of View::
When I saw my spy approaching, a smile etched onto my face. I ran up to Yasuki, hoping he'd have some 'valuable' information for me. After all, he was our most trusted spy, and to top it off, the one who gave the best locations.
Yasuki instantly noticed me and grinned to himself. The grin faded as I neared, oblivous to the previous grin. I now had a look of boredom, while he mustered up a not-so-forced look of complete seriousness to take the previous grins place.
"Yuffie, I have come with information on a location of a new location. The outcome will be most excellent, and it shall not be hard." My attention was instantly caught as I looked up at him as he continued, "ShinRa Mansion in Neibelhiem is the destination. Conditions are; there is only one man living there, get in there when he is asleep and all will be fine."
I blinked, thoughts of how easy this would, or, at least, should be ran through my mind. With a quick hope-filled nod, I rushed off to find Shiyoku and Kayami.
I stood in the tall grass, the cool breeze blowing my hair annoyingly in all directions. with Shiyoku and Kayami only a foot behind me, a look of fascination on both their faces. My face, of course, had a look of faint amazement. Sure, I had seen City lights before Neibelhiem, but they were usually restricted to the city in which my father had been. Now that Godo was gone, I'm free to do whatever I pleased.
Taking the liberty of going first, I dashed ahead, looking back every once in a while to make sure Shiyoku and Kayami were following.
I stopped 10 feet away from ShinRa Mansion and looked back for a last time. A laugh escaped my slightly parted lips as I saw Kayami tripping over her own feet to come to a stop and Shiyoku running into her back. Not-so-ironically, they landed in a pile at my feet.
"Hey, don't laugh!" Kayami pouted.
"God, you two really are funny," I giggled.
"Shut up," Kayami snapped and continued toward ShinRa Mansion, this time walking.
At the arrival, I looked up at the currently slightly open window. There was no light coming from the house, which I figured must mean the man was in bed already.
Apparently, the two other girls were in a trance, staring at the mansion, fear spread across their faces.
"Okay, split up, meet back here in twenty!" Yuffie ordered.
"S-sp-split up?!" Shiyoku stuttered as scenes from an old horror movie flashed in her head. Continuing, she begged, "No way am I splitting up! Kayami, come with me! Please..?"
"Ah, it's up to Yuffie, Shiyoku. I'll come with you if she says it's alright, though!" Kayami answered her friend cheerfully.
I sighed in annoyance before giving in, "Fine, you two stay together. Remember, though, we have 20 minutes only! Also, you two take the bottom floor, I'll take the top. Grab anything valuable. Lastly, keep silent. We wouldn't want to be caught!"
The three nodded in unision as I went my own way, and the other two other girls went theirs.
::Kayami's Point of View
Shiyoku and I did what any thief would have been least expected to do, went straight for the front door.
I peeked her head in before entering, making sure there was no one around. As soon as this was confirmed, we entered and walked into the living room, grinning intently at all that there was.
Shiyoku had obviously spotted the finely-made gun sitting on the table. Since she was a gun-user, it was just like her to take any guns that she may find. Behind a chair; lay also a just as finely-crafted sword, gleaming as if it had never been used. Grinning, I snatched both weapsons and handed the gun to Shiyoku, keeping the sword in my own posession.
I headed toward the next room, the other girl by my side when a hand was suddenly lain atop Shiyoku and my own shoulders.
Before either had of us had a chance to make a move, we found ourselves both in chairs, back to back, tied up by our wrists and feet.
Shiyoku looked around, only to see no one.
::Yuffie's Point of View::
Entering through the slightly open window, I blinked at my surroundings. The destinations Yasuki gave her were usually more..well, sophisticated than this. Realization then struck me, I was in some kind of a spare room.
I poked my head out through the open door, looking out into the hall and scanned it. Stepping out silently I dashed to room on the opposite side of the hall. Looking inside the room, I noticed that this room was highly decorated in black. Black silk sheets covered the bed, black dressor, black, black black! Annoying at times, really. I also noticed this room had no windows at all.
As I stared longer, I noticed a ten orbs of materia on a nightstand. Two summons, three magic, two support, and one independant, all of which appearing to be mastered.
Little did I know they were a sort of lure, just so a certain ex-turk could catch the thief that is I.
Creeping over, I snatched the materia quickly, pulling a string in which to summon, although I didn't know it, Vincent Valentine.
Creaking floor boards were heard from just outside the room seconds later. I looked up to the door, a man stood there, dressed in black pants, a black shirt, golden boots, a crimson headband and the exact same color cape. The most odd things about him were both his golden claw and his eyes, almost the same color as his cape. His pale face creeped me our slightly, yet also intrigued me. His face, I noted, had a scowl on it.
I winced slightly, knowing I was, for the first time in my life, caught in the act.
