A/N: Another Yuffentine AU, I know, but what can I say, I really like this pairing and have gotten really comfortable with it…who knows, if I get enough reviews I may consider trying out a new pairing (hint, hint). But in any case, until I know I've gotten better I will stay comfy. No BS…just the truth is fine as long as you're polite about it…not like that one basher who bashed "Trapped"—may whoever wrote that long and rude bashing comment forever be incarcerated in the jail of hell, and raped many times over by those fracking butt-ugly demon prisoners while being tortured by those gorram prison guards. In any case, read and review, would you kindly?

Yuffie looked on from the wrought-iron gates at the decrepit old mansion; she had been dared to go and see if the rumors of a monster living in there were true. Damn Reno and his fucking stupid triple-dog double-dare…I mean were it not for the fact that he was her boyfriend she would have refused him on the spot. And her instincts were saying 'nuh-uh…no way…no freakin' way…nope…not gonna go inside that mansion…it looks old and scary and dusty and…and…oh to hell with it, I'm not going in there!'

"Don't tell me you're chickening out yo!" He said from behind her—oh he was taunting her…well she's not going to fall for that! No sir! "Come on, I thought you were the White Rose of Wutai or something like that yo! I thought you ninjas weren't scared of anything like that…or…could it be…that you're afraid of ghosts?"

That did it…she was going to go in. She replaced her fear with hurt pride and anger, and jumped up the gates to walk onto the steps. With each step towards the mansion, she found it harder and harder to fight off this feeling that she was being watched…as if the house had a will of its own and was daring her to walk on in. There was nothing to it…she looked around the mansion, and found a broken window—a likely place to enter. She carefully stuck her hand into the hole, and silently crept in. Her ninja training had kicked in, and so she moved as quietly as a cat—and she continued to look through the mansion, looking here and there for the monster. She checked every room in the bottom floor—there was nothing…and then she checked the second floor—nothing of interest except for a drawer journal and a small box with a materia orb in it…a strange-looking thing, it wasn't like any sphere of materia she had ever seen before; it was blue with a pulsating white light inside its core. Well, since she's here, she may as well take something of value…looting wasn't exactly something she felt pleasant doing, but the kleptomaniac in her was screaming at her to take it…whispering in such a torturous and seductive tone with the words 'finders keepers, losers weepers!' Well, she is the finder, and of course, nobody was going to miss it seeing as this pretty little thing was found in some abandoned old mansion, and she may as well take some reading material with her.

She then packed the stuff she found in her bag, and started leaving…oh she was going to prove to Reno that there was nothing in that mansion now! With that, Yuffie ran back downstairs, and found herself screaming as she fell down a set of broken floorboards—fortunately, she was trained to take the fall, and so she found herself landing on her butt. That's just grand! Now her butt will hurt too much for her to be having her first time taken tonight…although it probably wouldn't be so bad, as it would probably make for good kinky sex. However, her attention was immediately turned to a pair of metal doors before her. For some reason, those doors had a sort of ill omen about them…as if daring her to open them. Before she could start looking for a way out, she noted that there was a light coming from her bag—was the materia responding to whatever was behind those doors? Now she was very curious—what would a piece of materia be reacting to? Yuffie took careful steps towards the metal doors, and found that they were unlocked…strange, if you're trying to keep something locked inside, then why leave the doors unlocked?

She wasted no time in pulling those sliding doors open, and found herself looking into what looked like a laboratory with all sorts of old computers and test tubes, and dead mice…ugh…yep, this place was abandoned, even down here. As she walked around, she noted that the pulses inside the materia had increased in frequency and power…wherever it was that this little ball was telling her to go, it was getting real close. She didn't pay attention to where she was going and bumped into something…it was a solid object…she then felt her hand touching something else hard…and smooth, and hard, and as she turned to look, she found out that she was touching a skeletal hand…attached to a skeletal arm in a lab coat…she did what any self-respecting person would do…she screamed!

After jumping away from the skeleton, she used the light from the materia to inspect it…from the looks of things on that skeleton the person who had died was female, roughly around in her thirties, probably about 160 lbs and 5'4", and was a scientist from the look of her clothes and her lab coat. No exit wounds, so it was likely she died of a disease or complications of sorts. Whoever it was needs a proper burial, so the first thing she's going to do when she gets out of here is to call the authorities, and tell them about what she found.

Once she broke out her thoughts about the poor woman, it was then that she noticed that she had bumped into a tall cylindrical tank—probably one of those healing tanks in the old days, but what caught her attention was the object floating around in the translucent blue-green fluid inside the tank. She gasped as she saw that it was a man floating around in the tank with his eyes closed—as she inspected him, she came to the conclusion that he was about 27 years old, had raven-colored hair, and stands at roughly 6'5". He also had a slender and catlike body type like hers only more masculine and muscular to boot, implying that at least somewhere in his blood there was Wutai, and his apparent skin type seem to specify that he's from the southern end of the island kingdom. As she continued to inspect him, she noted that he was actually quite handsome were it not for the scars covering his body scaring her off.

Yuffie then took the materia out the box, and saw that it was glowing brightly in front of this man. She then inspected the tank, and found a vacuum tube that went into the tank…surprisingly, this was the only thing in the lab that was still working as she felt something cold inside. As she checked out the materia, she noted that it was pulsing quickly—as if whispering in her ear to put it into the vacuum tube. It was on a whim that she listened to that voice, and put it into the vacuum tube before closing the door and watching it get sucked in and then drop into the tank…the next thing that happened, she noted that the materia moved as if on a whim, and got into the chest of the apparently dead man with the pulses dying down. No sooner than that had happened, the man had started struggling inside the tank as if in great pain, and the liquid inside began boiling up, causing the tank to crack and then shatter in a small explosion that Yuffie was glad to have escaped, but after that, she found herself willing her feet to run away as she noted that something was up close and personal with her…before she fainted…

A/N: This is the first chapter…more reviews=more chapters for as long as I have chapters in mind.
