Hell's Bells


Her heartbeat quickened, her eyes felt dry, her skin felt numb, her lips felt frozen, her face felt hot, burning with the intensity of a thousand suns, she was thinking. Her knees were shaking; she felt a faint dizziness behind her eyes, her clothes felt so tight that they were going to tear off of her, which she very much hoped that they wouldn't. Her body was aching, her head, the worst. Her mind was full of thoughts such as…

I'm not going through with this. There's no way. Never, nevereverevereverever.

Her heart felt broken, completely torn apart, as she heard Hell's bells ringing in her ears. Stop the ringing. Someone stop the ringing.

Hells' bells, she called them. But, in reality, they were wedding bells. She paced back and forth in her small room, her puffy white princess wedding gown making this a very difficult action. Where is she? If she doesn't get here soon, I'll jump out of the flippin' window and freakin' kill myself! She heard a knocking on the door, and backed up against the wall like a trapped animal.

"Yuffie, open up, it's Tifa!" She heard her say quietly through the door. She walked over and slowly opened it, holding her breath, feeling fearful for some reason.

"I'm so glad you're here, Teefs!" Yuffie said as she clung onto her.

"Well, I'm a bridesmaid, so I had to come. But, for next time, could you maybe let the bridesmaids pick their own dresses?" She said, pulling up the front of her dress, desperately fighting cleavage.

"Whatever! I'll never get married! Never! I don't care if the ring was made of two pounds of materia, I ain't ever getting married!" Yuffie said, putting her hands on her hips. "So, what's you guy's plan to get me out of this mess?"

"Climb out the window, and up to the rooftop. There, you'll find Vincent. He'll tell you the rest."

"What'll you do?"

"I'll wait here, in your room. If anyone tries to come in, I'll just…"

"Give them a lecture until they fall asleep, like you always do with Cloud?" Yuffie said as she hoisted her self up onto the windowsill.

"No, I'll kick their sorry butts."

"Oh, so what you always do with Barret. Alright. That'll work."

"Now, why was it that you wanted to leave?" Tifa asked, taking off her dainty lavender high-heel shoes and slipping on more comfortable, steel-plated boots.

"I don't even know the guy. Explanation enough?" Tifa nodded and slipped on her gloves. "Oh, one more thing, Teef." Yuffie said.

"Hm?"

"Your boob just popped out."

"Huh!?" She looked down, and pushed it back in. "I hate these stupid things…" She said. When she looked up, a teenage boy was standing in the door way, staring at her in awe. Tifa cracked her knuckles and smiled as she punched him in the stomach.

The ringing. Somebody stop the ringing! She thought to herself as she was now on the church rooftop. Vincent was nowhere in sight, and so she climbed higher. Where's that stupid vampire? She looked up. He was sitting near the church bells. Lucky me. She threw her heels off of the roof and pulled herself up to him, covering her ears.

"What now?" She yelled.

"Hm?"

"Whaddya supposed to do now?" She yelled again.

"Can't hear you, Yuffie." He said in his normal-volume voice.

"I said, whaddya supposed to do now!?" She screamed, the moment the church bells stopped ringing. "Uh oh," She said, as she realized this. "Vinnie? Help?" He smiled.

"In just a few minutes, Cloud will arrive on his Fenrir. Barret and Nanaki will arrive by truck, and they will try to control the crowd."

"Crowd? What crowd?" He pointed toward a large group of people watching them.

"Oh yeah. Go on."

"Tifa's controlling the crowd inside the church."

"And… whaddya you gonna do?" She said, tearing off the frilled end of her dress, trying to make it so it'd be easier for movement.

"I will assist you in getting back onto the ground, where you will board the truck, and Tifa will ride with Cloud on Fenrir.

"What makes you think I'll need your help getting down there? I'm the great ninja, remember?"

"Well, Yuffie…" He looked at her oversized dress. It was self explanatory.

"Well, I could use it as a cushion to soften my landing for when I jump off and make my grand escape into the mountains, where I'll go off and live off of tree bark and food I get from stupid travelers!" Vincent sighed and waited for her to come to her senses.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you help me." She said as she sat down, her dress being so puffy that her body barely lowered as she sat. Vincent smirked.

"There's your chariot." He said as the mud-covered truck came into view. Barret busted out of the back doors of the vehicle and began firing his gun arm into the air, a stray bullet nearly hitting Yuffie.

"Hey! When I get down there-!"

"Which you will in about twenty seconds…" Vincent said adding to her sentence.

"I'll kick his-!" Before she could finish her sentence, Vincent took hold of her and jumped off of the roof and onto a nearby small building, which he managed to do quite well considering the young woman screaming in his ear while clutching onto him with all of her strength. He set her down and walked to the edge of the building. Barret was still shooting his gun into the air like a maniac, and Nanaki was growling, snarling, and talking to the people, whatever they could do to scare the people away. Cloud was digging through a container in the back of his motorcycle, as some woman were watching him, talking about the shine of his bike, his beautiful features, and his muscle-toned body, making it somewhat difficult for Cloud to find what he was searching for. Yuffie was on her back, breathing hard.

"Do that again, and I'll kick you in the balls, if you have any!" She yelled at him, kissing the rooftop. "Well, as much as I love this beautiful, awesome dress, and sitting on rooftops with someone like you, when the heck are we gonna go!?" She said, with so much sarcasm it made Vincent slightly nauseous.

"Where is it…?" He said, ignoring Yuffie's comments. Just then, Cloud held up a single materia, and a ball of fire shot up into the air clear into the sky. "That's it." Vincent said, walking over to Yuffie.

"They're outta control!" Barret yelled as people began to pour out of the church. Tifa climbed onto the windowsill and looked down.

"Cloud! Drive closer!" She yelled.

"I can't!" He yelled back, surrounded by women admiring him and his bike. Tifa sighed and jumped off and swiftly landed on the ground, ignoring cries of teenage boys, "I saw the left one!" and "I touched her hair!" She ran over to Cloud and began pushing women away, when one of them grabbed onto her hair.

"Don't push me, whore!" The red-head said to her. Tifa gasped.

"I am not a whore!" She said. The woman looked at her cleavage.

"Your dress." She said, smiling as if she had won a battle. Cloud got a little excited to see such action.

"First of all, I didn't ask for these! Or the dress! Second of all, Its demeaning to call a woman something like that, all because they're more gifted in the bust, and third of all-!"

"Tifa, we need to go. Don't waste your time. Let's go home." Tifa sighed and climbed onto the bike.

Vincent became anxious. "This isn't good…"

"Huh? What isn't good?" Yuffie asked him, sounding a little worried.

"Nothing. Stand on the edge of the roof. Fast."

"What?"

"Fast." She ran over to the edge of the building, and began to feel a little nauseous.

"Vincent… I don't like heights…" Her legs began to shake.

"Three… Two… One… Don't be scared." He pushed her off, and she fell for what felt like forever, though in reality it was only four seconds. She landed on something, but she didn't know what it was, until she began to slide off of it. She opened her eyes, or at least tried to, with Tifa's hair flying in her face.

"Blech! Tifa, your hair!" She yelled, getting a mouthful of hair in her mouth. Tifa turned around.

"Yuffie? How did you get on here?" She asked in disbelief.

"Vinnie threw me off that building!" Tifa laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Yuffie said, getting irritated.

"He threw you? That sounds enough like him. Lucky you landed on Fenrir here."

"Tifa, hold on, I need to speed up." Cloud said, scooting forward in his seat.

"Why are you sitting so close?" He asked Tifa.

"I made more room for Yuffie."

"Yuffie?" Cloud asked. "How did she-?"

"Vincent pushed her off the building and he landed on your bike."

"That sounds like Vincent." Cloud said plainly. "Accelerating." Yuffie scooted forward and wrapped her arms around Tifa.

"I'm slipping off the seat!" Yuffie yelled in Tifa's ear.

"Tifa, could you scoot back?" Cloud asked.

"Tifa, scoot forward!" Yuffie demanded. But, Tifa couldn't scoot back because of Yuffie, and she couldn't scoot forward because of her bust.

"I hate those things!" Yuffie yelled, barely holding onto the speeding bike.

"I do, too!" Tifa said, still attempting to scoot forward.

"I never hate them." Cloud said, smiling mischievously.

"I hate you guys!" Yuffie screamed as she continued to slip off of the bike. "But I'm glad I got away from that stupid wedding!" They continued to drive down the long twisted roads toward Edge, where they would commence 'Part Two' of the escape.


Okay! Chapter's over! Yuffie's an extremely fun character to write about… Anyway, um, thank you for reading! Reviews are always appreciated. And I'll have another chapter up soon.
