Prologue

Tonight is a wondrous occasion for the Emperor of Hallow Bastion and his people. For it was a celebration of his arrival from the war with his friend Lord Ansem. The Emperor was a gentle and kind man, Lord Godo Kisaragi ... a man of honor. Good for the people, he had reunited his kingdom and made the world peaceful. Tonight was his night. A ball is being held for this celebration, a night that will last in the memory of those of Hallow Bastion ...

Music filled the hall of the palace as men and women danced, dined and enjoyed this night with the kingdom. One little girl in particular, the young princess Yuffie Kisaragi, she would terrorize the guests with her little mind games and her pranks, though none too severe.

"Come here little one," a young girl laughed as she picked the young terror up. She wore a beautiful pink ball dress. The usual puffy princess types, with flower frills. A 12 year old child, just 4 years older than her cousin. She had long brown hair, braided in a pink bow.

"Hey, cousin Aerith. Isn't this fun. Daddies finally home! YAY!" Cried out Yuffie as Aerith put her down and she began spinning. Her light green and yellow dress twirling with the movements of the little girl. Her long black hair tied up in a pony tail, with her hair held up by a white bow."Where is Squallie and Blondie and unci Cid?"

"Well I am guessing that they are all dancing with their lady friends. You remember, my friend Tifa, my sister Rinoa, and Shera, the one who blew up Cids ship?"

"Oh yeh that was funny. I remember them," Yuffie said smiling brightly.

Suddenly trumpets started to play announcing Yuffies father, Lord Godo.

"The Emperor, Lord Godo, has an announcement to make," Said one of the trumpeters

A man tall and broad with dark hair walked up to the high stand to talk to the people "I, Lord Godo, am happy to return to my home, my people, my family. The war was a difficult one and many men had died but, without the general, Sephiroth leading our best men, we wouldn't have been victorious. I would like to thank him gratefully a-"

"Ah, If I may my friend, I have an urgent announcement" Ansem interrupted

"Ah ... sure. Go ahead"

"Well, as much as Sephiroth is honored for his bravery I would like to give my own gift to Lord Gordo. Come in ... my friends ..." Ansem said as he revealed the doors to open.

The entrance door revealed black darkness. Yellow eyes had appeared and slight noises could be heard ... clicking noises. "I have been working on these creatures for just about my whole middle aged life. I would like to give them the honor of meeting such good 'hearted' people ..." He emphasized the word hearted as he smirked quite evilly

"What do you think your doing man.?!?" Cried out Godo

"Why, you'll see. For darkness is key to great power ... Welcome, the Heartless"

The dark creatures entered the hall, screams are heard as people ran for their lives. Yuffie watched all of this in horror as the guards including the young Cloud and Squall fought to keep the heartless away from the people. Yuffie looked towards her cousin only to find that she went to help too by casting whatever magic she had on the dark creatures.

"This is payback for leaving me in your shadow Godo, I was always the behind the scenes man, now you and your family will pay ..."

Yuffie turned towards her father, she watched as he was grabbed by the throat by his so called friend Ansem and then thrown into the creatures. The creatures attacked him until a ruby heart came out from him. Yuffie, almost in tears, ran towards him as fast as she could. She fell to the ground near him as she tried to shake her father awake.

"Daddy. Wake up please wake up. Please you have to. DADDY!!"

Gordo turned his head to stare at his loving daughter, tears in both their eyes, he touched her cheek as she grabbed his hand. ".... Yuffie .... Young one .... I love you .... With all my heart"

"I love you too Daddy. But please don't go, please!"

"Don't ever forget your families love ... we will always be there for you ... grow up and be strong ... and be happy. Here ... take this" Yuffie's father took out a ring with a star shaped ruby on it. It had the traditional crown in the center of the star. It was the families' emblem of royalty. "I love you ... Yuf ..." Yuffies father then died in her arms.

With tears in her eyes, Yuffie got up and ran, ran before the heartless could make an attack on her. She ran up the stairs down corridors behind doors until she reached a room .. her fathers. Yuffie looked all around until she spotted it. A small golden chest opened to reveal sharp star like objects ... 'shurikens.' Yuffie took the chest and put it in a brown pouch as she ran near the closet and sat down. She removed the rug from the floor to reveal a hidden passage way. She opened the secret door and jumped through, she closed the door above and ran through the hidden passageway alighted by small flames that hung on the walls.

Running until she got to a set of stairs she climbed up and opened another door that was just around the corner from the entrance door. She climbed out and looked around. Screams and the sounds of a war could still be heard from around the castle.

" Yuffie! Come on, hurry we got to get to the gummi ships!" Yelled out a tall dark brunette who had the marks of a battle. A cut across the bridge of his nose sure to leave a scar. He was the young man that Yuffie admired most, Squall. He grabbed Yuffies hand and ran towards the docks. Aerith and Cid soon joined them. "Oh my goodness there you are Yuf, we have been looking everywhere for you?" said Aerith

" Wheres, Tifa, Shera, Cloud and Rinoa?" Asked Yuffie.

"On one of the ships," said Cid As he looked to Squall who in turn, avoided his gaze ... 'at least I hope they are.' "And Cloud went to help with some of the others, now less jabberin and more runnin, alright kid,"

When they arrived at the ships, there was a huge hustle to get off the planet. They got onto one of the gummi's but with the overlarge crowd and Yuffies small size, she was pushed off the ship as the door closed and was ready for take off, Yuffie cried out as loud as she can but to no vale nothing happened. Squall, Aerith and Cid were banging on the windows and the door to get Yuffie, but nothing was to be done, it was too late. Yuffie was then pushed aside as she fell to the ground unconscious ...
