Darkness suspended over the large village of Wutai, with people snuck safe inside.

The air was thick with sorrow and anger and people moved quickly, unseen.

Children rested in their warm, safe, beds and parents calmly walked the streets.

Behind this village lay a great and powerful ruler. Kazuyuki Kisaragi, the Kuraikage of Kisaragakure (Kisara for short).

A small family of three that belonged to the Kuraikage was expected to be perfect. The Kuraikage was wise and power. The wife, the Tsumakage, graceful and gorgeous. And the child, innocent and brave, wise and gorgeous.

Yuffie Kisaragi was tall and lean. Her peachy-pale skin was silky smooth . Her violet-green eyes caught you and didn't let go until they released you. Also she was brave. And faced many people, acquiring chunin at age 10. Her innocence was pure but mischief pulsed through her blood, perhaps, many say, her wisdom was sealed away for the day she would actually need it.

"Daddy, he is just so sweet!" Yuffie cooed. "I bet he thinks the same about me!!"

Kazuyuki lifted his head and smiled playfully

"I bet he thinks your ugly!" He teased.

Yuffie giggled and pointed at herself then back at her father.

"If I'm ugly, then you are too!"

"Then your gorgeous!"

Then, graceful and true to her name, Annimarie glided across the kitchen floor and sat on her satin pillow at the table.

The room seemed to still at her presence. Her long flowing, black hair rested at the middle of her back. Her cinnamon-sweet grass eyes knocked the breath out of you and left a tingling sensation on your neck.

"Hi Kaa-san.." Yuffie spoke softly.

"Hello, Kuroba" answered the soft, velvety voice.

Kazuyuki cleared his throat and flicked his blond, brunet highlighted hair out of his violet eyes.

"Annemarie, have you heard about the sand villages' proposal?" He asked, his gentle voice becoming serious.

"Yes, 24 beautiful, lush green acres to finish the chocobo farm."

She always to spoke like this, for she taught 9th grade English.

"Kaa-san, it's Tsukasa-chan.." Yuffie, interrupted.

And there, in the doorway, stood Takamini Tsukasa. His shoulder length silver hair glistening the sunlight. He smiled neatly and blinked his dark purple eyes.

"Hey Mom, Hello, Kuraikage" He bowed.

Kazuyuki thundered a laugh and shook the house.

"That's father to you!" He laughed louder.

Tsukasa smiled and laughed his quiet laugh.

"Alright, dad. Hey Yuffie, wanna head out?"

"S-sure," She stammered, standing up.

"Have fun, Kuroba." The mom whispered half spoke.

"Seeya guys."

Tsukasa and Yuffie took hands and walked down the road to the Cherry Blossom field.

"Yuffie..ah-" Tsukasa started…His face carried anger and sadness and his voice held gloom.

"Yes?"

He shifted to one leg and kissed her gently on the lips.

"Im thinking….we can't be together..anymore."

Yuffie froze, her heart started to pound and her body became cold.

"W-what? Tsukasa what are you saying?"

Tsukasa walked further ahead and put his hands into his pockets and glanced at the ground.

"You drink…and you sort of attack me. You scream and say you don't love me and I don't know if I can take it anymore…"

Confusion and anger tears sprang to Yuffies' eyes, blurring her vision. Her heart burned the left side of her body and she checked to see if she was still breathing.

"N..no..Tsukasa no..please don't say this.. I can do better! I we can work this out! What are you talking about!? I've never drank ever!!! Tsukasa! Please!!!" She cried out.

"No Yuffie…" His gently voice broke, and the gently pure heart inside the young ninja's heart shattered.

"Tsu…Tsukasa…" Tears streaming down her cheeks, Yuffie moved forward.

"Just look at me…just please…and you'll see…You will see me, Tsukasa…You will see…" She stammered, walking closer.

"No, Yuffie, I can't..Im sorry…" He said, and with quick hand signs, disappeared…
