Tears of Aphrodite
Chapter 1: A Whole New Look
How could the day be so blue? Yuffie thought staring up at the sky, her hair was let out and the spring wind was tossing it around the her face like a kite in may. She sighed and sat up in an awkward style. "hmmm." her kimono was sloppily worn and her tabi were somewhere close...well at least she thought they were. She looked up to the sky boredly, a bird flying way up high about to land...as it looked. "bird? The Birds don't migrate back to Wutai till next week!" It wasn't a bird...it was a ship. "Shera!!" she ran out towards it...and a motercycle with cloud on it way far behind it in the distance. "The whole group?" She was in the outskirts of wutai, and the shera's landing pad was right next to a bamboo gate that protected the main castle. "Oh crap!" she ran towards the landing pad as soon as the ship landed there. She didnt want them to see her like that...but it was to late.
First popped out Red and Cait, along with Tifa, Cloud pulled up on his bike and further in the distance was barret in his hummer. Sherra slid out along with Vincent and Cid.
"So, whats with the outfit Yuffie?" Cloud jested nodding up his head to her. "umm, well...Im a wutaian...hello?!" She said matter-of-factly. "not bad lassy!" Cait jumped up. "Oh shush! Furball!" she threatened. "You look...interesting...Yuffie." She turned her gaze to Vincent. "umm, hey Vince."
"well, we came here for a goddamn reason didn we?" Cid snorted rubbing a ciggarette out with his boot. "yes, sorry yuffie..my husband has been having major moodswings lately...he cant have more than a pack of cigarettes a week." He grumbled and shera shot him a glance. Tifa walked towards her, "listen...we dont have much time, Cloud and I need to talk to your father...Cid, Vincent...you inform her..." They nodded and she turned back to Yuffie. "now how am I gonna get ahold of him?"
"like this..." Yuffie pulled out a bamboo flute...she played a very loud, very beautiful tune. Sure enough three male ninjas in pure traditional grass camo outfit popped out of the grass. "Yes, Kisaragi-Sama?!" The group stood in amazement, Yuffie turned to them with a stern serious look, speaking in pure wutaian. "Take these people to my father immediately it is urgent, they are avalanche members...treat them with the utmost respect!" The bowed very low and nodded to Tifa and cloud.
"wooah lassie...you sure have grown maturity." "oh shut it before I call the pest control!" Barret then pulled up. "Heya! Yuffie!" "Hey Bear!!" She grinned. He chuckled. "Oh-kay! now whats up?" Cid was leaned against the ship and vincent was standing there with his arms crossed. "Well, There have been major fiend outbreaks all over! I mean not the usual spring herd." Cid wasnt smoking and was instead sucking on a sucker, it took yuffie everything in her power not to giggle. Vincent was staring at her the whole time. "Yuffie, We need to warn your country...and then we need you to come along and fight with us." Yuffie's eyes widened. "r-realy?" The both nodded. " b-but..." They looked at her weird. "I was supposed to get married and be announced empress this saturday. Vincents eyes widened, he looked at the ground now as if he had just gotten news he was to live alone for eternity. "I see." Cid noticed his dispair but kept the attention off of Vincent. "Well, cant you extend the date..." Tifa and Cloud came back to them. "Well Yuffie, looks like your wedding isn't till next weekend!"
Yuffie smiled wide. "I get some more action before i have to stay?" She jumped up making a poof of smoke with some ninja powder. Suddenly dressed in some skimpy cargo shorts and her usual vest...her star hanging from her back...she was fully decked out for action. "hiyaaaa! lets go!" she jumped up. "How do you do that?" Red said in amazement. "ima ninja!" she winked. Everyone laughed except for Vincent. "its gonna be awhile before we get there so make yourself comfortable." Yuffie nodded and started putting her heavy weaponry up. "so, whats up Vince? still remember our ten-combos?" She smiled sitting next to him. He nodded. She was the only person he would have a full-blown conversation with, but he wasn't talking at all. "Vinnie? You ok?"
He looked at her with his deep crimson eyes. "So your going to be queen huh?" "u-uh yeah...um...why you ask?" "it seems like a big step." "yeah, I was gonna send you guys invites...but I was gonna email them tomorrow." She winced apologetically. "its ok, I know you meant well." He nodded slightly.
"Well its good to talk to you and see you again Vinnie!" he looked at her with cold and solemn eyes the atmosphere becoming cold and dreary. "are...are you gonna be ok?" she watched the afternoon sky of deep blue mixed with a lowering sun. "I'll be fine." he said between his teeth. " you know this whole marriage thing isn't gonna be easy." she said looking down. "..."
"yeah..i have so much to do...this whole coronation thing and so much planning...this is gonna be weird...jeez i just never saw me beein this tied down and busy three years ago." "no one can see or tell what will happen in the future." "yeah your right." she smiles looking at him in nostalgia. She looked at her life and how Vincent had effected her. He was one of her best friends and allies.
"Vince...can I tell you something?" She whispered slightly. He nodded. "I truly don't want to get married." she shook her head with saddened eyes. He looked at her with a blank expression. "You shouldn't talk like that. Your getting married for your country. Not because of selfish desires." He scolded, and she looked down.
" I-I guess your right." she looked away from him and got up. "Im gonna get some tea." She walked out the door lightly and as soon as it closed tears started to pour. She ran to the rest room and cried a little more. "so...those are your true feelings...Vincent?" She dried up and went to get some tea. It always made her feel better.
