Before you kill me, yes, I have made an OC for FF7 and from what I believe, she is not a mary sue! I REALLY hate those type of characters. In this story she is only friends with the characters of Final Fantasy Advent CHildren. SO before you start reading, let me introduce you to my oc. Her name is Yunai. She is a mage who has the ability to use the power of the winds, some healing, and is able to conjure up a magical artifact known as a Harisen Sword (fan/sword). She is about 17 years old and isn't really good at her magic skillz yet lol and is kinda a scaredy cat. But overall she tries her best in aiding her friends in battle. Pretty much since she was about 13 years old, she became friends with Tifa Lockheart and since then they have been friends. Yeha, that's pretty uch all I need to say right now. Please enjoy my story.

CHAPTER 1

Hunger Pains

The girl sat at the window seat, distracted by the busy traffic of people from below, watching them pass by while studying their faces and little quirks. This was a habit of hers. She fiddled with her long twisted braid nervously, leaving the other to dangle from the side of her face which reached down to her ribs . The sound of a quiet groan snapped her out of her gaze and she quickly turned from the window.

"Well, how does it look?" asked a young boy laying in a bed. He held his hand to his face, and then revealed a bruise of some sort just above his brow. A younger girl who wore a pink bandana in the very back of her head looked at him with worry, studying the bruised mark on his forehead. She gave a light sigh and tucked him in while the young boy began to drift off into a sleep. "Please, please don't take Denzel away", the small girl quietly thought to herself

"Yunai?", said the young girl with the bandana. "Is Denzel going to be ok?" It took a few seconds for her to give a reply.

"Marlene", she began to pause and took a breathe, "He'll be just fine." Yunai smiled reassuringly which seemed to wear off on Marlene, for she began to bear a small smile of relief. But Yunai didn't really know if Denzel would be ok. This weird disease seemed to be taking the lives of many, and no one seemed to know where it came from. All she could do was have faith and hope that there would be an end to the epidemic. They sat in silence for a while. The room felt dull and grey, not even the colorful drawn pictures by Marlene and Denzel on the walls could brighten up the room. The days seemed to get a lot like that of a sudden, the telephone began to ring, disturbing the silence in the room and also waking Denzel up. Yunia, Marlene, and Denzel sat waiting for someone to pick up the phone, but it kept ringing. What seemed like a long minute passed by until the ringing stopped. Yunai thought it had finally reached the voice message, but then she could hear Tifa's voice from across the hall. Tifa picked it up on time.

"Strife Delivery Service, how may I help yo-" Tifa was cut off. Yunai tried to listen carefully, hoping that it might be someone she knew. She heard Tifa give out a small laugh and then a reply, "Yeah, I remember you." Yunai began to feel naucious, so she got up quickly and headed to the bathroom. Tifa watched Yunai scurry pass the door to the bathroom down the hall. Yunai had been feeling strange lately, but all she would tell anyone was that she just had a stomach ache, but Tifa began to find it somewhat suspicious. Once Tifa finished talking to the stranger on the phone, she came into Denzel's and Marlene's room.

"How are you guys keeping up?" she asked sincerely.

"Alright I guess." replied Denzel. Marlene just kept her eyes on Denzel and nodded.

"Okay then. Let me know if you want anything to eat." Tifa said while keeping her sincere smile on her face while trying to hide her concern. The two youths had forgotten about how they haven't even eaten breakfast yet.

"Sure." said Marlene shyly. Tifa then left the room and headed back downstairs to the bar area where she continued to clean and wait for any customers whom rarely showed up this time of day.

Yunai looked at her frail self in the mirror, analyzing every flaw she could find, but the biggest one that seemed to bother her the most was right under her shirt, one that no one could see but her. She slowly began to fold up her shirt to view the flaw. She revealed a dark and quite large bruise mark on her abdomen that stretched almost to her back on her left side, making the mark look uneven. She had the disease, geostigma. Yunai stood there, not looking much surprised.

"Well, it hasn't been spreading since yesterday. Guess I'm okay for now." she thought. Geostigam was known to spread very quickly. Yunai discovered that she had geostigma about four days ago, but decided not to tell anyone. Taking care of one person infected with the disease was hard enough on Tifa and the others. She didn't want to stress anyone anymore. She felt guilty for being an infected. Because of the disease's location, her stomach had been having a hard time. She gave out a slight groan. The pain was worse today though.

Yunai began to drag her tired body down the steep stairs which lead to the bar area. As she reached the bottom, Tifa seemed to be talking to someone on the phone again. Yunai began to make her way behind the bar to get her apron.

"Cloud, how are you." asked Tifa. She then hung up the phone, revealing that she was only leaving a message. Yunai looked up instantly from under the bar and seemed to forget about finding her apron. Tifa then went right back to cleaning. Yunai stayed silent, but couldn't keep in the question that had been bothering her for the past couple days.

"How long has it been, since you've talked to Cloud?" Yunai asked anxiously yet nervously. Tifa looked over at her and then to her feet. She seemed to be trying to recall it.

"It's been a couple weeks." she finally said," But, I'm sure he'll call soon enough." she said with a faint smile. This is what Yunia liked about Tifa. She always focused on the positive things and knew how to bring everyone's spirits up when they felt down. Yunai couldn't help but smile too, but at the same time, she knew she couldn't necessarily trust what Tifa said. It almost seemed like Cloud had abandoned them. She knew that wasn't the case though. All of a sudden, a sharp pain rushed through Yunai's abdominal area, causing her to grab her stomach while crouching down, almost being driven to tears.

"Yunai!" Tifa exclaimed with surprise. She rushed over to Yunai's side and knelt down beside her, rubbing her back softly. Yunai gave out a little wimper, trying to hold back the tears. She didn't like to cry in front of anyone, not even her best friend. Tifa gave out a small sigh.

"If only you could heal yourself. It's quite a sacrifice you have with your ability. Only being able to heal others, taking away from your own strength." Tifa chuckled softly, "What an unselfish gift you have." Yunai regained her strength back and lightly pushed Tifa's hands to the side.

"Im okay now, guess I'm just hungry." Yunai reassured Tifa, while wiping her eyes which appeared to be a light shade of red. She began to make her way behind the bar again, searching for her apron.

"I don't think that was a hunger pain." Tifa said with concern, "I'm worried that your getting sick." Yunai knew Tifa suspected something, but she couldn't think of what to say. She began to play with her long braid, twisting it subconciously and remained silent. Yunai finally found her apron and took the opportunity to put it on quickly, showing Tifa that she was indeed alright and was willing to waitress and help cook if needed. It didn't seem to impress Tifa at all though.

"I want you to take the day off." Tifa said with finality. Yunai lowered her head, she knew she'd lost this battle, even though she didn't even really try to fight back.

"Alright, TIfa. If it keeps you from worrying about me." Yunai sighed and made her way to the stairs. Tifa's eyes followed Yunai to the stairs and up until she made her way around the corner. Yunai walked into Denzel and Marlene's room and flopped onto the bed with defeat.
