Disclaimer: I do not own these characters. They belong to those people who
made the game. Shows how observant I am doesn't it? I can't help but go at
least a little out of character. Besides they don't stray too far from what
they would normally be. Aerith may be a bit more out going than in the game
and Leon may let his guard down a bit as well. I haven't got as far as
Yuffie yet in this story. But all the same I hope you like it better than
my last one, which nobody read *eye twitches slightly* But I'm okay with
that now. I'd also like to thank chibigenius (? spelling?) for being one of
the few to review that fic. You might be glad to know that I am back up and
running again now that its summer break. I hope you enjoy this story.
~ ~ ~ Aerith looked around the first district for someplace at least slightly familiar looking. She pulled her cloak closer to her and started up the steps towards a shop that had smoke coming out of the chimney. She opened the door and stepped in; she took off her cloak and folded it over her arm. The shop keeper immediately took notice of her, as well as the young man he was waiting on. She couldn't help but notice that the young man was extremely handsome. She went towards the counter and waited patiently behind the young man. He stepped aside to let her in front of him. She tilted her head down in a gesture of thanks and took her place at the counter. The store owner lifted an eyebrow as if to ask what she wanted. "Is there a place to stay around here?" She asked. The store owner cocked his head in the direction of a map on the wall. She bowed her head again and walked over to it. She stood pretending to study it as she listened in on their conversation. "Where did she come from? None of the stars have gone out lately, at least not that I've noticed." The young man whispered urgently. "I haven't seen any either." The store owner whispered back. "So, he does speak." Aerith thought to her self. She wondered what he meant by none of the stars have gone out. "Should we trust her in the hotel? Maybe I should invite her to mine and Yuffie's place." The young man offered. "Can you afford another mouth to feed, Leon?" The shop owned asked with concern. "I don't know, but we have to try. We don't want her wandering around and causing havoc do we? We need to keep an eye on her just incase." He said quietly. "Why do you think I would cause havoc?" Aerith asked simply. They both looked at her nervously. "You were listening?" Leon man asked. "No you guys were talking about me; you do know the hearing sharpens when someone is talking about you. It wasn't my fault that you were practically screaming in my ear." She said as though she were pointing out the obvious. They both looked at her stupidly. The look didn't suit the young man, Aerith thought. He looked as though he usually pulls the tough guy routine. He must really trust this store owner to let his guard down enough to talk openly about finances and such, Aerith observed. "As for staying with you and this 'Yuffie', I will be fine. I can manage alone; I don't want to drain your funds. Also, I would like to know what you mean by the stars disappearing." Aerith finished. The guys looked at her like she had sprouted another head. "I insist that you stay with us. We could use the help around the house. You will work for your stay. Now come with me, I'll show you the way." He said obviously trying to pick up the pieces of his tough guy demeanor. Aerith couldn't help but notice that he would make quite an awkward poet. "Stay" "Way". She laughed inside and covered her mouth with her hand to keep from laughing out loud. She followed him down the steps and through a big door to the third district. They were greeted by about a dozen little black creatures with glowing yellow eyes. Leon pulled out a strange looking sword and killed them all. He then led her quickly up some more steps to a small house. They both went inside and were greeted by a young girl; Aerith noticed she was much too different to be related to Leon, and much too young to be his wife or girlfriend. "Hi! I'm Yuffie. Who are you? Did Leon take you in as well? He knows we can't afford that! Leon! How dare you! Especially without asking me first!" The young girl, Yuffie, screamed. Aerith took a step back as she continued to ball Leon out. Leon just walked past her and set his blade down.
"Gun blade, it's a gun blade." A voice in her mind told her. "Wait, where did that come from?" She thought to herself. Strange pictures filled her mind of a castle and monsters, destruction, people running, frightened. She steadied her self on a chair nearby and felt her forehead, she felt a little light headed. Her knees collapsed and struck the hard floor as the room began to spin. The last thing she saw were the two of them running towards her. She blacked out.
