Short of Bliss

Chapter 1:

Life gives you Lemons

Yuffie Kisaragi was anything but amused with going to the Chocobo Ranch to tame Chocobos. Yes the world was being threatened by Meteor, yes Sephiroth was still alive, and yes Shinra Corp. was disruptive as ever. But, then again the group has to raise some S class Gold Chocobos in order to get better more affective materias for the big battle that was sure to come. Yuffie sat in her usual little area with the crates and supplies in the corner on the Highwind trying not to vomit the shrimp rice and noodles she had for lunch. She glanced about the ship starring and admiring at nothing in particular trying to keep her mind off her stomach. The Highwind was quit a dirty aircraft it was old no doubt about that, the walk way that lead to the cock pit was red from rust. Rust covered the walls and ceilings and floors, the aircraft was a total disaster on the inside and out.

Yuffie closed her eyes took a deep breath and anticipated the landing at the Chocobo ranch.

Vincent Valentine the quiet soul that usually kept to himself in the small area of the cockpit near Red XIII or "Nanaki", relaxed with his arms folded over his chest, and his lower back leaning against the control desk that was planted in the center of the small area. His mind going over the events that would take place that very day, Chocobo hunting. Chocobo Hunting was a tedious mission even as a Turk catching Chocobos was child's play for Vincent's concern. Something more exciting would at least give Vincent a rush of amusement like raising Levels or growing Materia by fighting would a least do but catching and raising chocobos was as lifeless as his heart which had no love in it what so ever except for the love he had for the gorgeous Lucrecia. Vincent sighed in defeat, love was the last thing he needed on his mind right now, the love for Lucrecia. She was the only woman he loved, he respected, and cared for, no other women would ever take her place, no other would win his loyalty.

Cloud stood in front of the whole party discussing the chocobo hunt that would take place. "Alright everyone we are going to go to different areas were there are Chocobo tracks in order make a little space between all of us so we have a much better chance of catching more chocobos. I want to split the party into three different groups Cid will drop us off at the locations and will pick us all up later on in the day, if there is any emergencies use your PHS and help will be on the way."

Cloud took a deep breath while clapping his hands together he continued; "Now lets divide the party into the groups."

Yuffie shuttled her feet, "Gawd! I hope I get paired up with someone that brings some excitement to the party."

"The parties will be Tifa, Red XIII, and I. Barret, Cid, and Cait Sith. And last but no least Vincent and Yuffie."

Yuffie's hopes sank as Cloud called out the parties. "Vincent! Vincent! The freaky man with red eyes and a gold claw! The man that can change into monsters, uh uh noooo way!!!"

Yuffie had never felt uncomfortable around anybody, any man, any women in her whole sixteen years of her existence, but Vincent Valentine just made chills run up and down her spin. He literally freaked her out! She couldn't be her bubbly, lively bratty self whenever she was around him. She was…Afraid, she was afraid of him, she had never been afraid of anyone or anything in her whole life but she was of him.

Vincent just sighed and glanced at the ground. "Great just great, stuck with that child."

"But life can't always work out the way you want, you know all to well about that."

Vincent was never to fond of the teenager that tagged along for the ride to save the plant. She was bratty, bossy, and a complete pain in the neck, like any teenager at her age she thinks she can conquer the world. Vincent did however admire her strong will and personality. She was a skilled fighter and a really good ally in any bad situation; she was someone to rely on to watch your back. As much as Vincent hated to admit it but like any man he also looked at her physical form. She had a small thin figure, long skinny little legs that looked like you could brake with a single snap, a tight soft toned stomach her tiny naval peaking out of her white opened shorts, she also had medium size breasts, a little large for her age but nothing compared to Tifa's large bust. Her neck and upper torso was covered with the green sweater material tank top, she had skinny arms that were covered with armor. Her face was soft and flawless, a glow of innocence reflected off her face showing she was merely a child, big gray eyes and a wide open smile showed just that, she was beautiful.

Yuffie wobbled lazily behind the red caped man through the Mideel plains. "This Really Sucks!!!

Vincent continues to ignore the teenage ninjas silent mopping, he could tell by her dragging feet and sour expression she wasn't all too happy with being stuck with him to catch chocobos.

Vincent continued with a silent sigh, retrieving his Buntline from his holster he equipped the Chocobo Lure Materia, today was going to be a long day.
