I do not own this song or the characters. It all belongs to Square Enix. The song is called "Ameagari, sanpomichi", or "After the Rain, a Stroll" from Mahoroba (a Square Enix album).


Ame ga agatta asa ni wa
Mornings after the rain
Sukoshi dake hayaoki shite
I wake up a little early

Shizuku ga kirameku kono michi o
This town glitters with raindrops
Kimi ni misetakute mukae ni yuku
I set out, wanting to show it to you

I woke up early today, yawning. Outside, the glass window was streaked with rain drops, but the sun shined through. I smiled. Clothes were tossed, the room was shaking, as I hurriedly put on my clothes. Slamming the front door open, I looked at the city, which was covered in a glamorous rainbow. Wutai was so pretty. I grinned.

Sukoshi nemusou na kimi to
I set out walking on the hill
Arukihajimeta sakamichi
With you, looking a little sleepy

Me ga au to sugu ni shita muite
Our eyes meet and we look down
Dou shite ii no ka wakarazu ni damaru

Not knowing what to do, we stay quiet

"Vinnie!" I shouted, running, waving, to the man dozing on the side of the road. He looked up, dazed. In a practiced motion, he stood up. And smiled. Embarrassed, I looked down, and he ruffled my hair awkwardly. I laughed.

Hajimatta bakari no
It had just begun

Watashitachi no koi wa
This love of ours
Madamada kakko warukute

Still a little embarrassing
Hito ni hanasenai
Nothing to tell anyone about

We took our little stroll. Along the path of Wutai, just a little walk. He wound his hand around mine, and I blushed. He looked away, and I grinned, "Vinnie, you're really not used to this, huh?" He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "... Yuffie, remember what happened 30 years ago? Like when Miss Lucrecia took to Hojo? I don't exactly think I have much love experience."

Sukoshi fukurettsura no
Did you happen to notice me

Watashi ni kizuite ka
Pouting a little?
Kimi ga sashidashita migite

I take the right hand you offer
Nigiri arukidasu
And walk on

I rolled my eyes. "Cheer up, that was like, 30 years ago." I took his hand and pulled him along. "Come on!"

Futari no hohaba ga awazu
Our footsteps are out of sync
Tama ni oitsukenaku naru

Sometimes I can't keep up
Mada katta bakari no kutsu da kara
It's these brand-new shoes

Ashi ni awanakute nigawarai

They don't fit me right, and I smile wryly

The two of us walked along, down the road. After awhile, we sat down, the grass still fresh and green, still glistening with rain and dew. We just stayed there, looking at the view.

Mizutamari ni utsuru sora
The sky reflected in a puddle
Watagumo ga kiete yuku ne
The cottony clouds are fading away
Konna odayaka na hirusagari

I'd never have known such quiet mid-afternoons
Kimi to deawanakya shiranakatta
If I hadn't met you
Kitto
I'm sure of it

The sky was reflected in the little puddles, clear and blue. I bent down and leaned to see closer, noticing myself entering its picture. It was pretty, the light clouds moving slowly, the few birds making their way across the view. Grinning, I stood up. "Let's go, Vincent." He smiled, and took my hand.

Tsunaida kimi no te ga
The hand I held
Totemo atatakakute

Was so warm
Zutto hanashitakunakute
And not wanting to talk at all
Sukoshi toomawari
I kind of took the long way

It made me flush a bit, as we walked down hand in hand. With nothing to say, the two of us just took a stroll. Letting go of his hand, I stepped in front of him, just a little. I reached out and gave him a hug. "Thanks, Vinnie."

Tokubetsu na kotoba wa
We still don't need

Mada hitsuyou ja nai

Special words

Ima wa tonari de hohoemu

Right now it's good enough

Kimi ga ireba ii

To have you smiling beside me

Vincent took my embrace, and when he finally let go, he looked at me curiously. I took a step away. He cocked an eyebrow, a light smile on his face. "Yuffie, I'd like my materia back." I grinned. "Yuffie!"
