A/N: This is my first attempt at a Squffie so I hope it turns out okay. BTW, does anyone know if Yuffie will be in Kingdom Hearts 2? I heard from a pretty reliable resource that there are already plans for Sq…er…Leon to be in it, just wondering because I would be really sad if she wasn't there.

Disclaimer: As much as I love Squall I will unfortunately never own him, sigh…of course I like Yuffie too and I don't own her either… Everybody is owned by SquareEnix and Disney.

Ch.1 Yuffie To The Rescue

Yuffie laid in bed listening to her alarm clock go off for the bazillionth time. (Is that a real word?)

"Mommy, do I have to go to school today? I don't feel so good"

Realizing that she wasn't home anymore she finally got up and turned off the alarm clock by throwing it into the wall.

Yuffie had been the youngest member recruited at the age of 17. They had almost not let her in, but they couldn't deny her ninja skills and decided to let her join even if she was just a kid.

Just a kid. She was more than just a kid she was The Great Ninja Yuffie.

And…She would change their minds soon. All she needed to do was to have a successful mission of her own. All she had done as of yet was to be an apprentice to Aerith when she went on missions. Aerith was a nice person and all but she would never get any respect if she kept having to trail on behind her.

That was when a call came through interrupting her thoughts.

"Hello"

"Agent Kisaragi, Aerith has gone missing in enemy territory and we need you to go rescue her."

Finally, this was her chance. She felt kind of bad because she was almost happy that the flower girl had gone missing.

"We will be sending you the information briefly."

"Squall Leonhart, Cloud Strife, who are these people?" She looked closely at the pictures, they looked slightly familiar but she couldn't quite remember where she had seen them.

"We believe that they are the ones who kidnapped Agent Gainsborough. We need you to bring them back too if possible…"

And that's pretty much how I ended up here, on this plane, headed to who knows where to find Aerith.

Aerith and me had been friends for a long time. She was like a big sister and she was one of the few things I actually remembered from my past.

You see a couple of years ago a war started in our peaceful home in Hollow Bastion. And everybody split up into two different groups, friends and brothers became enemies. During one particularly bad battle I ended up getting knocked out. Me and Aerith ended up on the side with the rebels. They took us in and helped to heal my wounds. During that battle Aerith got separated from her lover and sometimes I think I hear her cry at night. She told me that he said that he would come back for her one day but that she was pretty sure he was dead.

All of a sudden alarms went off in the plane. The plane had been shot and was heading towards the ground rapidly. She headed towards the parachutes, but got violently thrown into a wall and was knocked unconscious.

"This is what everyone got all excited about, she's just a kid... how did she even get this far?"

"I don't know, we almost didn't catch her."

"She must be better than I thought…..hmmm, do you think she came for the other one?"

"Most likely, but why would they send out a kid?"

"I have no idea"

Yuffie listened to their conversation as she became more and more conscious. How long had she been knocked out? And what did they mean kid? She wanted to scream out that she wasn't just a kid, but her throat felt dry and she was just too tired to scream. Instead, she decided to focus on how to get out. She could feel the tight ropes tying her securely to the chair.

"water" she croaked out. One of them turned and frowned at her. He was tall and had dark brown hair that reached down to his shoulders and piercing blue eyes. She immediately recognized him as one of the guys from the picture which meant that the other voice probably belonged to the other guy from the picture.

"Looks like sleeping beauty finally woke up" The tall blond with strikingly blue eyes said. She noticed that his eyes weren't as cold as his partners'. Her suspicions were confirmed, he was the other guy from the picture.

'Great I was supposed to be tying them up not the other way around'

"She looks familiar doesn't she?"

"We probably know her from before the war"

"Maybe we can ask Aerith who she is"

"Aerith"

At her outburst the blond turned to face her, "You're lucky that we're the ones who found you. You could've been killed." He paused "What's your name?"

She wondered if she should tell them who she was. It could be very dangerous to tell enemies her name, but they had saved her, supposedly, and from what she could tell it sounded like they were not too threatening, at least the blonde anyway (it looked like the brunette might kill her at any second).

She looked up to see the blonde staring down at her strangely. "It takes you this long to come up with a name?"

"No, I'm the Great Ninja Yuffie"

"If you're so great, why did you get caught" she heard the brunette mumble.

"Leon" the blonde said swatting him "be nice"

'Leon? I thought his record said Squall. Maybe it's a nickname'

"After all we wouldn't want to upset Aerith, now would we" Leon said teasing Cloud.

"Would you two knock it off?"

"Aerith!"

"Yuffie!"

"Guys this is my partner Yuffie. I used to baby-sit her before the war."

"Now that I think about it the brat does look pretty familiar" Leon said peering down at her.

"I am not a brat." She said trying to stand up but remembering that she was still tied up to the chair. "Oh and can you untie me? My wrists are starting to hurt."

"Yuffie there's something I need to talk to you about" Aerith said while untying the ropes.

"What?" she said following Aerith into her makeshift bedroom.

"Yuffie" she paused taking a deep breath" I…um…I'm not on the rebel side anymore"

"What?"

"I said…"

"I heard you…..but, why?"

"Because Cloud's on this side."

"Cloud, Cloud is more important than the people that saved our lives." Yuffie said trying not to get angry because when she got angry she started to whine and no one took her seroisly then.

"Yuffie, remember when I told you about the boy I fell in love with before the war?" she kept going not waiting for an answer "That's Cloud…..he finally came back for me."

"Oh, but what about me"

"Well you can join this side too, but…..we would have to find you someplace to stay."

"I could stay in your room. We've shared rooms before."

"Well actually….you can't" The flower girl said blushing "You see I'm sharing a room with Cloud." Her brows furrowed with thought. "Maybe you could share a room with Sq…er Leon, just for now I mean. I'm sure we'll find you a room soon."

"I don't know, it doesn't seem like Squall likes me too much."

"Oh, don't worry about Leon he's always like that, but please call him Leon he prefers to be called that."

"Well" Yuffie said getting a defiant look in her eye "The papers said his name was Squall so that's what I'm going to call him."

"Okay Yuffie, I know that I won't be able to change your mind, but please don't annoy him to much. After all they are giving us a place to stay. I'm going to see about your room arrangements."

After much arguing and debating it was finally decided that Yuffie would be staying with Leon. She couldn't help but get excited at the prospect of a new person to annoy.

"So Squall"

"It's Leon"

"Squuuuuuaaaaaaaaalllllllllll" she said smiling at him sweetly although the look in her eyes told him she was trying to be anything but sweet.

"It's Leon" he said turning around to glare at her.

They walked in silence for awhile until they reached the room. She walked inside and sat on the nearest chair.

"So Squall, what made you decide to go against the rebels"

"It's Leon, and because I knew that people like you would be in it."

"What do you mean people like me?"

"Brats"

"I am not a brat"

"Once a brat always a brat"

"How can you call me a brat, you don't know anything about me."

"I know plenty about you. I used to watch you when your parents couldn't get Aerith"

"Oh" she said looking down. Yet another part of her past she couldn't remember. "Do you remember my parents?"

"Why? Don't you?"

"No" she said trying to make her heart stop hurting so bad. She didn't remember anything except for the few pieces of information Aerith had been able to give her.

"I used to train with your father"

"So you're a fighter"

He looked at her as if that had been the most obvious thing in the world.

"What do you fight with knives, daggers, katanas, guns, what"

"That's not really that important" he said walking into the bathroom to change clothes.

She noticed a black box sitting in the corner. She remembered that when she had mentioned his weapon he had looked over at it briefly before answering her. She went over to open it when she was pushed up against the wall.

"Touch it and you die." She looked up into Squall's glowering eyes. She had definitely pushed the wrong button.

"Don't be so touchy" She said breaking free of his grasp and backing away from him and the box. She refused to look afraid, even if she was terrified.

"So Squall" she said trying to hide her fear.

"It's Leon" he said putting a hand over his forehead. "Are you always this annoying?"

"Are you always so talkative?" She said smiling at him. He glared back at her. "Anyway, where am I going to sleep?"

"On the floor" He answered nonchalantly

"THE FLOOR!"

"Yes, the floor. Do you need me to show you where it is?"

"I can't sleep on the floor"

"Well there's no where else for you to sleep."

"I can sleep on the bed…"

"No"

"Why?"

"Because I'm sleeping there"

"I promise I won't snore or anything. I won't even kick or punch you"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"Fine, but you better not touch me." He said looking her straight in the eyes.

"Trust me, I won't"

"I don't need you keeping me awake all night because I have to get up early in the morning."

"Why do you have to get up early in the morning?"

"To train"

"Can I go with you?"

"No"

"Please"

"No, you are not coming with me and that's final." He said climbing into the bed.

That night they put up a pillow barrier between them to make sure that they didn't accidentally touch each other. She waited until he was asleep to turn on the lamp next to her side of the bed and pull a small green book with a yellow scarf tying it together out from under the bed.

Dear Diary,

Today has been really interesting. One minute I'm on a mission to save Aerith from the enemies and the next thing I know I find out that she is on the side with the enemies. I'm still not sure of what I'm going to do yet. I mean Aerith is my best friend but how can I turn on all of the people I have grown up with. Then there's Squall. He's a big meanie, but that's okay because I'm sure there's some good in him somewhere. Plus he's really good-looking maybe even sexy and I was never good at staying mad at good-looking people for too long. Anyway me and Squall talked tonight and I'm going to train with him tomorrow. He just doesn't know it yet. Boy won't he be surprised to find out that I can actually fight. Maybe he'll even let me train with him and then I'll get to see his weapon since he wouldn't let me look at it earlier. I'm so tired and I have to wake up early to train so I'll write in you tomorrow.

Yuffie

Yuffie lay in the bed tossing and turning…..

"Squall, Squall"

"A young man around 16 turned to face he"

"Yuffie, what are you doing out here? Aren't you supposed to be with Aerith?"

"I was but she started talking to Cloud and I was bored, so, I came to see what you were doing." He smiled at her.

"C'mon Yuffie, I'll take you back"

"But I don't want to watch her make mushy faces at Cloud, yech, boys are gross"

"Does that mean I'm gross?"

"……No"

"What about this, I'll let you stay with me for a little while and then I'll take you back to Aerith"

"Okay then" She said smiling gleefully while taking his hand and tugging him forward. "We can play tag and hide-and-seek and…dress-up and…."

She was so excited she didn't noticed the grimace that crossed Squall's face.

A/N: Whew I'm glad that that's over with. I hope you guys enjoyed it and I plan to have the next chapter out soon. Don't forget to review I can always use some constructive criticism. Of course I like nice things too and I do plan on adding Kairi, Riku, Sora, etc. later on. And I even passed 2,000 words yay for me. took away all of my pretty dividers now I'm upset.
