A/n: This is a story that I thought of while I was in the movies when something reminded me of Yuffie and Squall stories.

****Different paths ***

Prologue

For nine years since the heartless came and Hallow bastion was takin over. Then Sora came and he closed the door of darkness and the worlds returned to its peaceful state. For nine years I've been in wonder of life. Its possibilities, opportunities and adventures. For nine years .........

"Yuffie?" I woke up to a soft voice. I opened my eyes to see a young women, dressed in pink with long brown beautiful hair to be envied. Her green eyes shone of light and happiness, without a worry in the world. "Time to wake up, its almost time" she left the room leaving me to get ready for the day ahead.

I got out of my queen sized four poster bed. It had night sky blue satin sheets to decorate. I went to get my towels and my usual attire. I entered the marble bathroom and chucked everything on the railing beside the shower as I took off my nightwear and hoped into the shower turning on the hot water. I washed my short ebony hair and just enjoyed the warmth the shower gave me. ' he leaves today and I still haven't ..... told him' I thought ' He leaves today and leaves me behind' ' He leaves today to find the answer to his questions, well that's what he told me last night anyway ..........

//////////////////// FlashBack////////////////

Aerith: "So Leon, when do you think you'll be back from your journey?". It was dinnertime and everyone was talking about the recent discovery of the world barriers falling once again and yet there were no threats to harm the peaceful worlds.. I looked up from my plate and looked to Aerith who had dropped her fork and had a hand clasped on her mouth. "oops.. er ....." she turned red and resumed to her plate. Everyone was looking at Aerith accusingly as if she wasn't supposed to tell. Everyone had that look except me. I was a little shocked at the questions then I heard Leon

"I think I'm going to get some fresh air" He got up and left an headed towards the balcony. I still had no idea what was going on *back from your journey???* What journey. Where was Squall going? I had to know.

"What journey, where is he going?" I asked. Before Aerith could answer, Cloud interrupted.

"No journey just a trip somewhere alright. Just forget it" I was shocked. Why didn't I know about this. I felt a little left out that they didn't even tell me about this. I got up and left and headed towards where Squall was.

"So you're going on a journey and you didn't even tell me. Why?" I asked him when I saw him leaning on the railing of the balcony.

"It's none of your business that's why" He replied coldly

"Really, so its Aerith's and Cloud's and Cid's business but not mine. What makes me so special?"

"They weren't supposed to know, but they found out alright."

"Why are you going" I knew what the answer was going to be but it couldn't hurt trying.

"Like I said none of your business" His expression was cold

"Just tell me. I just want to know. Is that so hard to know?"

"Urgh, fine. I'm leaving to find ... her .... My home ..... my Rinoa and my friends, answers to my questions that's why, happy?" He left leaving me confused and shocked. I knew he loved Rinoa but after what he had told me I thought she had died. But I couldn't help feel this pain in my heart and stomach

//////////////////////////Present////////////////////////////

I got out of the shower after shaking myself out of my memories. I put on my usual attire of Khaki shorts and my green half top, yellow scarf, leg warmers runners and my white headband. I looked myself over and forced a smile onto my face saying that I can do this. I walked out of the room and ran down the hallway into the entrance and out onto the courtyard to see everyone waiting and helping Squall put his supplies into his gummi ship. I felt the pang in my heart as I stopped in the doorway. I felt like crying. I didn't want him to leave. Who knew how long it would be until he comes back? I shook my head and skipped up to the ship. I saw Aerith she was close to tears. Cloud was helping Squall carry some boxes into the ship and Cid was inspecting the ship for any faults.

Me: "Need any help"

Squall: "no"

Me: "pfft fine be that way". I looked away

Cloud: "that's the last of them, so you're set?"

Squall: "yep, Cid?"

Cid: "All checked and ready for take off"

Aerith: "Are you sure you want to do this Leon?" almost in tears

Squall nodded but I wasn't going to let him go that easily.

Me: "Are you absolutely positively sure" I was almost in tears myself. I put on a pout to make it seem like I wasn't upset. But in reality I was.

Squall: "yes already"

Me: "When will you be back"

Squall: "When I'm ready to be back". I was getting ticked at his rude answers and I don't know what it was but I snapped.

Me: "FINE. LEAVE. NEVER COME BACK. YOU'RE JUST A RUDE OBNOXIOUS ASSHOLE... *LEON*". Emphasising on his "name" with coldness. I stormed off turning on my heals and had my head up and I was in tears. I didn't want him to leave but it wasn't like he had anything to comeback to or anything.

*******Leon's POV******

Aerith: "Oh dear. YUFFIE!!!!"

Cloud: "I don't think she heard you"

Me: "Whatever" I turned to head off into the ship but I felt a hand grasp my wrist. I turned to see Aerith there

Aerith: "Leon, shouldn't you. I don't know. Run after her". I was shocked with this but somewhere in my head it had agreed with her, but.

"Why would I want to do that?". That just came out. But like why would I really want to. I don't have any reason to.... Do I?

Aerith: "because ... because ... I don't know. You might regret it maybe. Why don't you just see what's wrong". She had a puppy look on her face but I only saw a glimpse as I just entered the ship.

"Don't have time. Besides she's strong. She'll get over it. Besides I have to find the answers to my own questions"

Aerith: "I hope so. Well good luck Leon. Good luck and take care" She ran up to me and gave me a hug. I hesitated but returned the favour.

Cloud: "Good luck mate. See ya soon hopefully alright". He took out his hand for me to shake. I did so and I turned and went inside the ship and turned on the engine.

"sure" I closed the door of the ship and took off to find my one and only. Is that really true. My one and only??........
