Black Holes and Revelations, Ch. 1:

She tiptoed her way through the long dark corridors, smelling the rot and decay of the old Shinra Mansion. It was no longer a suitable foundation; should have been condemned several years ago but the townspeople of Nibelheim were scared to demolish it.

Shinra Mansion held too many dark secrets. Dark secrets the young ninja Yuffie wanted to unveil, because what was the fun of keeping secrets, well secret?

No, Yuffie was on a mission: a mission to unfold and unveil the wretched inner workings of a certain power electric company. A power electric company that imposed great fear in the hearts of the public and on the other hand disillusioned them with the idea of a better life, of a better world; the illusion of hope.

Nothing was, as it seemed.

There were small towns and villages controlled under a reign of great terror and fear, still unbeknownst to the larger cities that welcomed and favored Shinra. They garnered no attention.

Yuffie wasn't going to let that continue.

The world was not set right; the world was in BIG trouble.

And Yuffie, being well, Yuffie with pride equaling Shinra's own wanted to do something, ANYTHING; and if traveling miles upon miles in foreign land, slaying monsters that gave her the creeps, and lying completely awake for hours in fear of said monsters did some shred of good to the cause; she would do it over and over again.

Only if this helped.

She breathed a sigh of satisfaction as the brass key fit perfectly within the lock and clicked. Yuffie also felt the powerful red orb burn a whole through her tan shorts, metaphorically of course, a constant reminder of what she was there to do even if she would rather not do so.

Hey!

She was all down on saving the planet, would give her life to do so, this didn't mean Yuffie had to like it! There were things she would rather not do and crawling your way into some dark, wet, scary place, pretty much defined it.

She also hated sticky things, but the was for another story, another time.

Yuffie let a small squeak escape her mouth as she opened the door revealing a gun barrel pointed to her head, the owner clad in red. Her hands slightly in the air, a position screaming out, "I surrender!"

"Get out." The owner said in its rather rough yet smooth voice, bittersweet even, but Yuffie had no time delve in the matter, she had a freaking gun pointed to her head!

"I'd rather not." Well she really did want to comply. Who wanted to say no when a gun is pointed to your face?

Yuffie braved to look at said owner and came to face with a pair of red eyes. A pair of red, obviously maddening yet mesmerizing eyes, oh the conundrum! Another look of those eyes and Yuffie would have raised her arm in salute of the man and marched her way out of the mansion, but this was a matter of urgency!

He did not take lightly to the reply, as he let the sound of gunshot ripple a few inches above her head. "Get out." He repeated.

She shook her head no rather slowly; pretty sure any more movement might be the cause of her death. Yuffie could easily be wavered by others but she had her reasons for refusing him.

That is, if he was willing to listen to, only thing he wasn't. He shot several times trying to pinpoint his target, but with a ninja as rash and compulsive as Yuffie, predicting her next movements was next to impossible and so it was that she then cornered the mystery man. More like held him at knifepoint.

She held a small dagger to his jugular and another towards the bottom of his spine. Yuffie could be a meticulous ninja too; she just liked pretending she wasn't.

"Don't move. If you do so in either way you could find yourself dead or paralyzed for the rest of life," She smiled wryly, "none of which are helpful to your sweet Lucrecia." There was a hiss of sorts emitting from him as the muscles of his body tensed in hearing that name. "Don't be a prude man. I just want to talk and I can't have you very well trying to shoot me. Now sleep for we'll have our little discussion after you lightened up."

Yuffie felt the body go limp and flaccid in her arms after she casted sleep on the mystery man. She sighed seeing the wet noodle of a mess this man was, expecting more of a fight with him. It SEEMED too easy and she sighed again, suddenly feeling how arduous of a task this had all become.

When things are easy at the beginning it means worlds of difficulty later on. Point blank; capture was easy, persuasion well, Yuffie was never good at that particular thing and she knew that if she passed the test of the persuasion, then it meant an overwhelming obstacle later on.

MUCH later on, but this is a third point of view story, and she didn't know when this would be.

Yuffie really needed to think things out more before she acted them out, because now she had a rather large man in her hands and a very tedious journey ahead of her.

Grabbing the man's large legs within her own tiny hands, she noticed his very pointy iron shoes and made the sudden indication that this man was really, well old.

Yuffie didn't have to read his file to know that and smiled. Old fashion was going to meet modern day and there was going to be a clash of sorts, she just knew that. It kind of invigorated her, and so she smiled her trademark, full-set-of-teeth, watermelon smile.

But for now Yuffie had to trudge her way back to the entrance of the Shinra Mansion with mystery man in tow.

Dragging this man's ass out of the mansion was just one of the many things that lay in store for the near future of this little ninja.

She just never saw love as being one of the things in her future, especially with this weirdo of a man.

X-X-X-X

Love it?

Hate it?

What do you really think of it? Well review. Soundtrack will be available later.
