Never Forget Me

The moon shone brightly in the night sky, providing little light through the cracks in the walls, but enough for Yuffie to see by. Despite the white headband holding them back, her long ebony bangs fell down onto her face. She brushed them away and parted her lips to sigh heavily. Her dull jade eyes stared off into nothingness as tears slowly filled them, blurring her vision. She blinked, letting them stream down her flush cheeks.

It had been three months since she had seen her beloved Leon. As she gazed into the darkness of the scarcely lit room, her mind filled with precious visions of him. She could still hear him whisper her name and those unforgettable words, "I love you." Her body began to tremble as she ran her fingers delicately over the blade in her pocket. "No, don't be foolish. That won't solve anything." The words raced through her mind as she quickly pulled her hand away.

She grabbed her black coat off of the bed beside her and stood up to put it on, "I have to find him…"


His breathing was harsh, as he slowed turning a corner into a darkened ally. He placed his palms on his thighs as he regained his breath. A look back a round the corner, making sure he wasn't followed, before standing up straight and leaning against the cool brick wall of the alley. He slid down to the ground below him slowly as a deep sigh was given. Exhaustion was catching up to Leon, after all he hadn't slept in almost a week. He was beginning to hallucinate; he could have sworn he heard Yuffie's voice back there, "No, it's impossible…"

A shake of his head to regain his senses before a barrage of footsteps could be heard, "Damn, already…" He slipped into the shadows without a sound as they passed him by. The stars over head were shining brilliantly, giving him some hope for the night. The lights of the city came on, one by one, making the stars fade into oblivion. His eyes grew heavy as his head dropped to his chest; he pulled his knees close, unable to fight sleep any longer.

Memories of that beautiful night with her flooded his mind. The sun stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon and the darkness was a mystery of curves and lines. The rain was waving goodbye and the forest folded its branches around us. I took you by the hand and drop by drop we began to bleed. Together we clung in the bloodletting moonlight. The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better past time and left us alone with hopeful elegies of savagery and eloquence. Inside was a crumbling effigy, so quickly died all innocence. I hid within your black, the still inside your eyes. Deafened, caught within a cry so sensual. The coldest sound. Jade woodland eyes that ushered in the most impure. Bathed in your radiance, I melted. Calling tears from deep inside, oh, you were so exquisite. In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet, praying it would never end. Still, we laid under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward to where the shattered seasons lay. A smile stayed on his lips, "Yuffie, I'll make it back to you…" Sleep engulfed him, finally.
