Disclaimer: I do not own FFVII, Naruto, or InuYasha. I am simply taking some of the plot ideas, characters, and concepts and am twisting them for the mindless non-profit enjoyment of myself and others...in other words don't sue. I own none of this. I began working on this story many years ago and due to the craziness of life lost touch with it. I have recently found my muse again and thus this story is now under heavy revision hopefully for the better. You will notice some of the chapters have been deleted, replaced, or rearranged. I hope this doesn't not take away from your enjoyment. So here we go kiddies, lets hope my muse doesn't escape it's cage this time.


The rain pelted down into the frozen mud, the dust around them had yet to settle as the afternoon fog coiled around their feet. The group of battle worn fighters stood outside the massive creator, awaiting the arrival of the Highwind.

Their leader stood off a ways talking into a crackling radio with his childhood friend standing beside him. The rest either talked softly amongst themselves or stood gazing off in the distance trying to collect themselves the adrenaline from the final battle slowly cooling in their veins.

Grey eyes peered up into the eerie gray and orange sky eyeing the fiery glow of the meteor drawing ever closer. They had succeeded in destroying Sephiroth, but it had done little to save the world from the doom awaiting them in the sky. Their only hope was that Aerith and the lifestream would be on their side and call Holy.

Yuffie sighed her breath puffing steam in the subzero air that surrounded the northern crater. Her mind whirled with a million thoughts and worries, her home, family and her people were the top of the list.

"...right we should be there within an hour." Cloud flipped his phone shut and shoved it into his pocket along side the radio.

"Is everyone here and accounted for?" Cloud asked Tifa pushing his once gravity defying hair now water logged mop out of his eyes, his voice jarring Yuffie from her thoughts.

"Is anyone hurt?" Tifa called out as she walked around the group checking to make sure everyone was accounted for and relatively unharmed. Cid and Barret stood together, the pilot looking at Barret's gun arm that had sustained a significant amount of damage.

"This is what you fucking get for using the damn thing as a shield you dumb ass." Cid grumbled with a cigarette bobbing in his mouth as he examined the arm.

"Hopefully this thing can still fire properly and not just exploded next time you use it".

"What the hell was I supposed to do let that bastard cut me in half with his big ass sword?" Barret cursed as Cid tried to pry back the piece of metal that had been dented and was cutting Barret's forearm. Cid had faired pretty well in the battle, unharmed except for a rather nasty gash on his leg that had already been bandaged up.

"That would have been fucking unfortunate wouldn't it?" Cid grumbled sarcastically.

"Hows that?" Barret glanced down at his arm moving it back and forth.

"Thanks, it feels a lot better" Cid merely nodded whipping some of the dirt on his face off on his shoulder.

Vincent and Nanaki both had a couple scratches but were okay, they stood silently watching the sky waiting for the airship. Nanaki's tail bobbed back and forth, puffs of steam escaping from the flame as the rain hit it.

About three feet away Cait stood next to Yuffie were she sat in the mud, fussing over her as she tried to bandage her shoulder which had a pretty deep gash.

"Lassie! Your bleeding an awful lot shouldn't ye have Tifa look at that?" the robotic stuffed animal bounced on his heels splashing mud around, his stuffed moogle having been destroyed in the battle. He was now forced to wallow in the muck with he rest of them. Yuffie rolled her eyes at the tiny robot as she took a piece of cloth in between her teeth and yanked it tight applying pressure to her wound.

"Forth...tha...wast..ime...ait..Swith...I..ham...fine!" she mumbled with the cloth still in her mouth before giving it another swift tug, and hissing threw her teeth.

"Besides..." Yuffie turned her head to him glaring.

"Shouldn't you be more worried about yourself… Sparky?" It was true Cait Sith had gotten pretty banged up, his one arm was cut open and his head had a long gash, both exposing wires and circuits which sparked in the rain.

Their bickering was interrupted as a loud whirling noise could be herd from above. Yuffie looked up just as the Highwind descended though the thick mist landing about a hundred yards away.

"Okay everyone time to go!" Cloud yelled as he waved at everyone to get on board.

"We are needed in Midgar to help with the evacuation, I want everyone to meet in the conference room in twenty minutes to be assigned teams."

"Humph, no rest for the wicked." Yuffie grumbled as she pulled herself up out of the mud, careful as to not put to much weight on her injured arm. Reaching down she grabbed Cait Sith by the scruff of the neck and made her way over to the airship, Cait Sith squirming and hollering at her to put him down.

"Shut up before I throw you in a mud puddle! You don't need to get anymore wet then you already are!" Cait Sith let out a defeated sigh, and hung like a rag doll as Yuffie carried him all the way to the ship.


The patter of rain could barely be herd over the engines as they roared to life the Highwind jerking into motion. Once on board Yuffie had set Cait down and immediately made her way to her spot in the cargo bay. Not that she even needed to be there, she was too tired to even get air sick. She just plopped down on the metal floor and leant against a wood crate, her head was beginning to throb.

'Now what? What are we supposed to do now? What if Holy never comes and the world ends a day from now? That would really…REALLY suck... I want to see home again…see Dad…I really don't want to die while being on bad terms with him…I really don't want to die period…'

Yuffie let out a tired sigh as she sat there resting her head on the box, her fingers twirling a piece of gauze that was left over from what Tifa had given her to bandage her shoulder properly. Yuffie let out a dry cynical chuckle as she thought about her shoulder. A split second she had let her guard down while looking for a elixir, and now she would have a nice three inch scar on her right shoulder the rest of her life.

'Oh well, wasn't the first, and certainly wont be the last, for the great ninja Yuffie' Yuffie was drawn out of her thoughts by the sound of feet upon the metal floor, small feet.

"Whatcha need Cait?" Yuffie mumbled not even bothering to open her eyes. Cait Sith climbed on top if the box and sat next to Yuffie's head.

"Cloud and the others have decided to put you and Vincent together as a team during the evacuation…" Cait Sith looked down at Yuffie and poking her with a mechanical paw.

"You'd know that if you'd had been at the meeting." Yuffie opened one eye and peered up at him, flashing a tired smile.

"Vinnie will fill me in on the details I am sure..." Yuffie's smile faded as she looked up at Cait, his wires were still poking out every which way and it looked like his right arm was unusable.

"Cait don't you know how to fix yourself?" Yuffie asked as she sat up and pulled her bag over. Cait cocked his head to the side watching her.

"Sure do Lassie... but I can't vary well do it with one arm, so I have to wait until we meet up with Reeve... Why ya ask?" The little robot raised an eyebrow as she rummaged around in her bag. She quickly found what she was looking for, pulling out a small black pouch she looked over her shoulder at him grinning.

"Think you could walk me through it?" Cait's arched eyebrow rose even higher, as he slid off the crate to stand in front of her.

"Maybe...but what do you know about robotics?" The cat placed his hands on his hips his face questioning.

"You might short circuit my system…" Cait's eyes went wide as he slowly started backing away.

"YOU MIGHT KILL ME!" Cait made a mad dash to run away from her, but Yuffie was to quick grabbing him by the tail and yanking him back over to her.

"Owww let me go ya scoundrel!" Cait wailed as Yuffie drug him back between her legs and started looking at his arm, finding it difficult to examine with the robot twisting and squirming.

"Shut up ya big baby! You are not gonna be much help in Midgar like this..." she said giving Cait a firm jerk to get him to hold still.

"Besides I have "experience" with this type of stuff." Cait rolled his eyes at her comment and crossed his arms giving up and letting her examine him.

"I promise you my anatomy is much different from any security system you have toyed with." Cait bit back sarcastically.

"That's why I need you to walk me through it moron. Now what's this blue wire for and where's it supposed to be connected?" Yuffie shot back.

She pulled a small soldering tool out of her pouch, and began the tedious task of reconnecting wires with Cait Sith's guidance. After about twenty minutes Yuffie had fixed both Cait's arm and forehead and even stitched up the covering so it wouldn't get wet anymore.

"Not half bad Lassie." Cait whistled as he examined Yuffie's work flexing his paw and scrunching his fore head.

"This should do quite well until Reeve gets a chance to look at it. Thanks girly don't know what I'd do with out ye." Cait said flashing a cheeky grin. Yuffie tapped her cheek with a finger, a question popping into her mind.

"What's Reeve like Cait? I mean besides a voice on the phone I have never met him. Besides that he works for Shinra we know next to nothing about him…" Cait shrugged at Yuffie question.

"Reeve is...Reeve...don't worry girly, you'll meet him soon enough...I expect we will throw a big party once this is all said and done, and Reeve never misses a party." With a wink and a bow tipping his crown to her Cait turned and left.

Yuffie slumped back against the wooden crate, and closed her eyes. They would be reaching Midgar soon, and god only knew what hell awaited them there. As her mind drifted Yuffie couldn't help but worry about what tomorrow might bring.

'Tomorrow might vary well be our last day alive…leviathan forbid… I really want to see home again, to be able to watch the sunrise from the top of Da Chao one more time… besides I still have a lot left to do… like meet the lunatic who made Cait Sith… yeah he has to be a lunatic'

"Yuffie..." Yuffie's eyes drifted open as she turned her head towards the deep voice that calling her name.

"Will be landing in five minutes..." Yuffie offered Vincent a weak smile and pulled herself to her feet.

"Alright I am coming Vinnie don't get your panties in a twist..."
