Darkness and Brightness
A Final Fantasy VII Fan Fiction By TBOtaku
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was bright.
Yuffie shouldered her rucksack and trudged on. Her shoulder smarted where she'd been cut, but she chose to ignore the pain. Her whole body ached. After fighting her way through the jungles, she was in no condition to be walking, let alone climbing, as Yuffie was currently doing. Have to keep going thought Yuffie. Cuts and bruises covered her body, some fresh, some old. There was a gash in her left leg where a particularly vicious monster had slashed her. It had paid with its life, but the girl had little enjoyed the victory. The bitter memory smoldered in her mind. Yuffie made a frustrated noise. She had dropped half of her materia into a pit she had nearly fallen into, half of her materia including her Cure materia and her precious Odin, too. Damn. She had worked hard to get that Odin, and she hadn't stolen it, either. Well, she would get another one eventually… Yuffie reached up, made sure the rock was stable, and then pulled herself up some more. She was sweating with effort and exhaustion by now, and droplets ran down her forehead into her eyes, blurring her sight. She strained her muscles to their limit and pushed downward heavily, making her shoot upwards. She grabbed the edge of the cliff with her hand and then flipped up into the air to land softly on the summit. Then her ninja grace and strength gave in, and Yuffie collapsed onto the grass below. Ouch. Pain. Pain in her leg, pain in her whole body, goddamnit.
Yuffie forced herself up, struggling, and held her right arm tightly; she must have pulled a muscle or something in that last effort. The Wutai ninja lifted her arm for a second and wiped the sweat off her brow, then raised her head and gazed forward. Nothing but dry, grassy plains in sight; it would be an easy enough walk to her destination. Yuffie took a few shaky steps forward and collapsed again. This time she did not get up. She had no more strength left, did not have enough energy. Just a little nap she thought. Her head fell to the ground and everything went black.

Vincent Valentine trudged along. He had detected a powerful energy source the other day, and was going to check on it. Probably just another rowdy monster, but Vincent wasn't taking any chances, what with that Mako geyser erupting around that area last week. A slight flicker of worry crossed his face, but the emotion left as quickly as it had appeared. The flaming sun beat down on his body, but he chose not to feel it. Vincent pulled out his fighting energy radar and studied it. The signal was coming from a place about 358 meters to the left. He changed directions and continued swiftly on his way. About halfway there a wandering monster attacked him, but Vincent easily blew it sky high with his Death Penalty. A minor enemy after facing off with Sephiroth and Jenova. The silent man checked his radar again, reloaded his weapon and kept walking. Closer now, he was almost there. Now he could detect the energy by using his own instincts, and Vincent frowned. This force was a lot more powerful than he'd thought, but it was growing weaker by the minute. Cautious and confused, he stepped out of the underbrush and started across a field of sorts. Something dark was lying on the ground far ahead. The energy source. Quickly, Vincent transformed into Chaos and flew with incredible speed towards the unmoving form. He changed back into his human form about 2 feet away and stared. It was a human body sprawled on the ground, back up. Slowly, Vincent bent down with his claw reaching out and flipped it over. His heart skipped a beat in shock.
Yuffie.
Vincent stood there for awhile, lost in deep thought. He was unsure what to do about the situation. The girl was probably unconscious from dehydration and, he concluded after a more thorough look at her, from her various injuries. He decided there was only one thing he could do. Sighing, Vincent bent down and picked Yuffie's limp form up. She had grown, both in looks and in fighting power since he had last seen her three years ago he noted. Then he noticed her pack lying in the dirt and picked it up. Vincent turned and headed back towards his house carrying Yuffie Kisaragi in his arms. What am I going to do with her when she wakes up? Wondered the raven-haired man before turning his train of thought and concentrating on the road ahead.
...Well? How did you like it? I was halfway through reading a Yuffie/Vincent fan fiction when suddenly I had a "sudden inspiration" as I now call it, and so the idea of this fic came to me! Yaay! So, I stopped reading the fan fiction for a while and got into my "writer's mode" and started writing this fan fiction! Whew, I'm finally done! I had to search through my mind(and others! tehee ^_^)to get all of the synonyms and words for this story! I'm real proud of the finished product, and I hope that you like it too! Oh, and last but not least: PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! Ciao! ~^ -TBOtaku
Credits:
I would like to sincerely thank the following people and organizations for helping to create this fan fiction:
My friend Super Jenah(not listed in fanfiction.net), who came up with "flaming" when I asked for a word that meant "hot and bright, but not blistering or shining." Oh, oh! MAAAAAAN I just thought of the word I couldn't think of before! IT WAS "GLARING!!!" Darn darn darn darn! Oh well I still like flaming, but originally meant to put glaring. Darrrrrrn! I'll keep flaming for your sake, though, Jenah! ;_; *cries at the irony of it all! She has finally thought of the word but now can't change it! Waaaaah~!*
Ahem.
Also, I would like to thank Kate, AKA Celes(listed as author) for providing the fic that inspired it all, "Change of Season." Thank you, Celes!,
and the makers of FFVII, although I already thanked them for making the game but am now even more thankful, for creating these wonderful characters, personalities and not to mention plot lines for me to write and think about! Yaaaay!
Last, but certainly not least, I thank each and every one of you for reading my fan fiction(s) and for having the patience and courage to read all of this incessant yammering! I'll be providing a lot more incessant yammering in the future! Do you fear? Bahahahaha!! :D
^^; So, in a nutshell, That's All Folks! Wooooooo~! ^_^V

Information:
Side Notes: The original title was going to be "Darkness and Light," but I figured that it should be Brightness so that the words would "match"(i.e. both end with "ness".). Oh well! ^_^V :D
This fan fiction(and the comments after it)was finished at approximately 12:18 PM Eastern Standard Time in Maryland, USA on Friday, April 13th, 2001(or rather it's Saturday, April 14th...after midnight already? Oh my! ^_^;)by TBOtaku. (Actually, it took a lot less time to finish the fic, but I had to dwell on the future plot line of the story and the title of it and oh so many things that it was past 12 by the time I was done with these things! Darnit! I suppose it took around and hour and 45 minutes to finish, but who knows! -TBO) V^_^;V
