A/N: I am taking a break from Who? At the moment because of severe writers block.
"Cloud would you like to dance?" Tifa asked nervously, Cloud remained silent. He had not wanted to have a party, sure they had saved most of the world, but what about Midgar and Kalm, didn't they matter, didn't little Marlene being, probably, scarred for life at what she had witnessed matter. "No Tifa, I don't want to dance," he said at last. Tifa walked of the balcony back into the ballroom; Yuffie was smiling mockingly as Tifa emerged alone, they had never really got on.
Cloud shook his head and sighed, he looked over the balcony as far as he could see. He closed his eye's and wondered what it would be like if She was here, he would dance with her. "Aeris," he whispered.
"Hah, didn't I tell you he would never dance with you," Yuffie snarled. "Well I bet he wouldn't dance with you either," Tifa snapped back. "I don't want to dance with that dork," Yuffie fought back. Tifa noticed that Yuffie's eyes had strayed over Tifa's shoulder and were staring at Vincent. Tifa smiled at Yuffie "Oh, I see, have your eye on higher product's then," Tifa said "What uh I don't know what you mean," Yuffie stuttered and turned red. Tifa turned round and walked over to Vincent.
"Wow, Vincent you look nice tonight," She started. "What do you want?" He sighed "Well I just wondered if you'd dance with me," she said looking up at him. "Huh, okay." He said as Tifa pulled him over to the dance floor.
Yuffie felt a pain inside her body as she watched them dance, Yuffie could take physical pain but not this kind. She stepped back into a dark corner, where nobody could see her. She felt water dribble down her cheeks, the only other time she had cried was when Aeris had died. She looked around the room, no one would even notice if she weren't here, "Fine I'll just leave," She told herself, she picked up her purse and snuck out.
Cloud looked down over the edge of the balcony, "Yuffie where are you going?" he called down as he saw Yuffie flee from the building. "Uh, back to the Inn, I have a head ache and need to lay down." She said not stopping running. Cloud thought nothing of it; he took a gold sphere out of his pocket. Luckily Yuffie had not stolen this materia. He ran his finger under the word in scripted in it, Pure Rebirth. He smiled, and then frowned. He wanted so much to have Aeris back, but some of the other members of AVALANCHE had protested, believing that he should leave her. Cloud knew in his heart that it was right, but his mind was filled of doubt.
"This is fun isn't it Vincent," Tifa asked looking up at him Vincent didn't reply, he was looking all over the room with a confused look all over his face. "Vincent what's wrong?" Tifa sighed. "I don't feel like dancing anymore," He said letting go of Tifa and walking over to the food table. Tifa was confused, she ran after him. "What was that all about?" She questioned "I just don't feel like it okay!" he said through gritted teeth. "Why? Was it something I said?" Tifa was upset now. "No, I just.." He started; he didn't feel like explaining his feelings. "Where is Yuffie?" He said "I don't know, who care's its just Yuffie," Tifa said looking round the room. "Something could have happened to her," He said with a worried tone in his voice. "Like what, oh maybe she choked on a sausage roll or drowned in the punch!" She said sarcastically, Vincent was not amused. He rolled his eyes and went to go and stand mysteriously somewhere.
"Geez, I thought the Inn was here, I must have taken a wrong turn," Yuffie said to herself, it was now very dark and cold, Nibelhiem was a lot more daunting in the dark. "Hey beautiful, are you lost?" asked a man, Yuffie couldn't see because it was so dark. "Why yes, uh I can't find the Inn," She replied "Hmm why do you want to stay there, you'd have more fun with us Baby," another man spoke up. Yuffie now realized a gang of men had surrounded her. She gasped and tried to call out, but someone stopped her by covering her mouth. She tried to kick him but was held still, she squirmed and wiggled around, One of the men punched her in the stomach, another grabbed her hair and smacked her in the face, and the gang leader grabbed her by her shoulders and shoved her against the wall. Yuffie felt dizzy and collapsed on the floor. When she awoke about an hour later, the men had gone. She tried to stand but failed, she was frightened. She hugged her knees and wept; although she was unconscious she knew what had happened to her. She heard footsteps, she shook with fear. "Yuffie?" The familiar voice of Cid Highwind called, he stepped closer and lifted her up. He took her back to the Inn.
He pushed the door open to the room he was sharing with Vincent (it's a double room, there not together or anything, just friends) Vincent was sitting on the sofa; he looked over at Cid and stood up. Cid put Yuffie down on the sofa. "Yuffie, are you alright?" Vincent asked kneeling beside her. She shook her head. "I found her outside, in the street." Cid said kneeling down too. "What happened?" Vincent asked. Yuffie shook her head again and burst into tears. Cid got up and got some bandages for Yuffie's wounds. "Yuffie who did this to you, we have to know?" Vincent continued, desperate to get an answer from her. "I..I don't know, I was so scared," she said eventually " Why did you leave the party?" "I felt ill," She lied. Cid put some cream on the cuts and bandaged them up.
Yuffie sat silently, staring down at the floor. "Who beat you up Yuffie, did you see them," Cid asked "One of them, the leader was that man we always got in fights with, he had red hair, do you remember," Yuffie said "Reno?" Vincent spoke up Yuffie nodded. "Were the other Turks with him?" Cid asked Yuffie shook her head, "No just him and a gang," she whispered. "We should tell the others, if we find them we can deal with them," Vincent stated. "I'll get everyone together," Cid said, he stood up and walked out of the room. Vincent looked at Yuffie; all the life had been drained from her eyes. Vincent had a creepy feeling about this. "Yuffie, they didn't just beat you up did they?" he said finally Yuffie looked at Vincent, the look on her face confirmed Vincent's fears. She burst into tears and held out her arms towards him. Vincent hugged her tightly and rocked her back and forth. "Were going to find that motherfucker, okay, and if I don't kill him Godo will." Vincent promised "No Godo can't know, he'd be furious he'd take me away from all of you, he is always saying that a "Princess shouldn't be hanging around with a bunch of terrorists" this would give him an excuse to keep me in Wutai," Yuffie said between sobs. Vincent nodded. They heard the door open and the other's entered, all except Cloud. Vincent tried to pull away, but Yuffie just held him tighter, he got the hint and stayed where he was. "Yuffie we heard what happened," Red XII said as he came over to her. He jumped up on to the sofa and licked her cheek. Yuffie took one arm off Vincent and put it on top of Red XII, she hugged them both tightly.
Tifa felt bad, she had always been so horrible to Yuffie, she didn't trust her, but this was just sick. Yuffie was only sixteen. She stepped forward and hugged Yuffie as well. "Where's Cloud?" Barret asked.
