AC/DC
"I can't believe you both gang up on me!"
Yuffie Kisaragi sat with Reeve, the head of the WRO and therefore her boss and her father in one of Godo's private offices. Despite the fact that this was a serious meeting, she was juggling with 4 materia orbs.
"We are merely worried about your safety. I can't guarantee for it, not as long as we don't know who's after you and nor can your father." Reeve tried to reason with her and at the same time struggled to ignore the colourful orbs flying through the air.
"I've spent years taking care of myself, before I was even considered an adult. I don't need a damn bodyguard now that I am twenty." She countered, never taking her eyes of her materia.
"You're invaluable for the WRO and your country! At least do it for the sake of that!"
Godo was sitting back, letting the other man try to convince his daughter. His jaw was clenching with anger he just about managed to hold back. How could she be so damn stubborn? Yet another shouting match was the last thing they needed right now.
His eyes wandered back to the latest letter. It was stating plainly that there would be a need for a new head of the WRO information gathering department.
His daughter had known that her position was dangerous. Still she had taken it. Inwardly Godo was wondering if taunting him was part of the reason she took it.
"He'll only be with you a few weeks. You were going to go on holidays anyways."
"And you want me to take a random guy with me to Costa? I wanted to have some fun!" She was getting really frustrated now, her father could tell. She had only been legal for some time now and this was to be her first vacation with her ID.
"Yuffie, see reason, you'll only need to stay under protection until we've finished investigating..."
The girl in front of them gave a long suffering sigh.
"...And that won't take long. We have Vincent on the case, he's already on their tails, so to speak."
Yuffie squealed as she lost her concentration and dropped her materia. "And when did you plan to tell me that?" She asked and raced to pick up the orbs scattered across the floor.
Reeve only shrugged. "He said something about paying back something. Does it really matter?"
"It sure won't change my opinion."
"Will you at least meet the guy? He's waiting outside." Godo finally cut in, getting impatient. He had been sceptical himself when he had heard about it.
"Fine! Fine, I'll take your stupid bodyguard. I want that trip to Costa! But he better not be in the way!"
Yuffie jumped up, ignoring the relieved glances the older men shared.
She waited for them to lead her outside, still not happy with the idea, but knowing that they would never let it go.
As Reeve led her and her father towards the gardens, she did not fail to notice the tension both men seemed to emit. Something seemed off.
When they turned the corner to the southern terrace, she stopped in her tracks abruptly.
A sloppily dressed man was slouching against the outer wall of the pagoda as if he owned the place.
She would have recognised him anywhere, even though he was no longer wearing the infamous suit. The casual clothes looked alien somehow, even though apparently someone had insisted he at least bring a suit-jacket, hanging over one of his shoulders. Only his stupid goggles were still in place.
Had her mind not shut down in shock, she might have laughed at the odds.
"Turkey?!" was all the shell-shocked ninja managed however.
Reno only shot her a short look, before turning to Reeve and Godo for confirmation.
"She agreed. We'll be inside if you need us."
And so Yuffie suddenly found herself alone with her newly assigned bodyguard.
She tried to banish the gobsmacked look from her face, as he pushed off the wall to stand in front of her with a smirk.
"Long time no see, brat." At that she finally got control over her body back.
"You work for the WRO?" She blurted in disbelief.
His pale blue eyes flicked to the floor looking anywhere but at her, smirk slipping a little.
"Yea...well, I needed a job and Reeve gave me a chance." He twirled his old EMR nervously, "You know it's not easy to find a job if you're an ex-Turk."
Yuffie was still a little wide-eyed.
"Well,...didn't expect to see you again." She muttered, looking him up and down.
He flashed a little smile. "Yea...I'm a quitter these days."
-"Good for you. I hope it stays that way...as long as you're on the job. Not that I even need a bodyguard!"
"We'll see about that, princess."

Right, prologues a bit short and by the way, this chapter is way lighter than the rest of the story. Did i mention I love this song? By the way, there's a button right underneath...it's tempting isn't it???
