A/N: Okay, so I had another story up, but I didn't like the plot particularly, so I deleted it. Sorry.

Summary: Axel/Yuffie. Yuffie knew Axel's somebody and falls in love with Axel.

Secret Friendship

Chapter 1: Remembering

Axel walked around Hollow Bastion, bored. He'd only recently discovered he was a nobody and joined Organization XIII. He didn't know why, but he'd been going to Hollow Bastion a lot lately, like he remembered something here...

He didn't remember anything from when he was a somebody. He'd get little twinges at the back of his head every now and then, but he couldn't ever realize why.

He looked ahead and saw a girl. She had short black hair with a head band. There were tails coming from the head band. She had black gloves, short shorts, a black shirt, and grayish knee high lace-up shoes.

His mind was telling him he knew her, he needed to talk to her, he wanted to talk to her.

Though he couldn't remember her name. It started with a Y...he knew that. She was sitting there, just throwing her shuriken at the air, getting up and getting them, then sat back down.

"Yuffie!"

The girl looked behind her and smiled. A girl with brown hair, a pink bow holding it up. She had a red dress over a pink dress, and brown boots. She walked up to Yuffie and smiled.

"There you are. We were looking for you!"

"Sorry Aerith, just thinking..."

"Ale again?"

"Yeah, I just can't believe he's really gone..."

"Yuffie..."

"No, it's fine. I know he's gone, I just miss him."

The girl named Aerith rubbed Yuffie's back. Yuffie stood up and smiled.

"So what's up? Why were you looking for me?"

"Oh yeah, we're having another HBRC meeting."

"Okay! Let's go!"

They ran away, towards some house. Axel watched her go and realization dawned on him.

Yuffie...that's her name...?

He shrugged, made a portal, and went back to The Castle that Never Was, wondering how he'd known her.

Um yeah, sorry it's short but...there's the first chapter...hope you enjoyed
