It's More Than Just a Game!

They Took My Pride!

Vincent was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a female voice screaming and knocking at the door.

"Vinnie! Open the door! Rise and shine sleepy head!"

Vincent sighed as he walking to the door. Vincent found Yuffie smiling widely when he opened the door.

"Good morning, Vinnie? Ya miss me?" Yuffie jumped wildly around Vincent while continuing to raving the vampire. All that Vincent could hear was just like the sound of buzzing bees. He took Yuffie's hand and brought her in before the neighbors felt annoyed.

"So Vinnie, whacha doin' today? Ah, I bet nothing, right? Why don't we go outside? You wanna? You wanna?"The ninja girl put her hands just below her chin and stared at Vincent with her big puppy eyes. She kept blinking and blinking again. Vincent tried to divert his eyes, he knew that he couldn't stand if Yuffie acted like that.

Vincent sighed and Yuffie smirked. I win again! Yuffie said to herself.

"Where do you want to go? Wait, wait, I have one in my mind. Costa del Sol! I really wanna go to beach. Whadaya think?" Vincent didn't like the sun, whereas Yuffie loved being under the sun.

"Yuffie, you know I-" Yuffie put her hand right in front of Vincent's face.

"No complain please, Mr. Vampy? I know, I know, you hate sun. But you must try to like it, Vinnie. Imagine the sun is me. It was hard at the first time, but you did, right Vinnie?" Yuffie chuckled when she saw Vincent threw his face away.

"C'mon Vinnie! Off to the beach!" Vincent couldn't do anything when Yuffie pushed him outside. He knew that Yuffie could make him do anything, anything.

"I love beach! I love the sand, I love the sun, I love the air, I love the sea wave, I love everything in here!"

Yuffie ran toward the beach with her hand waving like hell at the top of her head, she looked more like a 5 year old than a teen aged 19. Vincent looked at the short-haired girl from the distance as she playing with the sand. A small smile formed on his pale face. Yuffie...

"Vinnie? Hello!"

Vincent jolted from his reverie, "What?"

"You didn't see me coming, did you? Oh gosh, you are daydreaming, Vinnie! How could you made your mind running on his own while you are with me? But forget it, do you see that boys? I'm going to challenge them in playing soccer and I'm absolutely going to win," Yuffie smiled her winning smile.

"You don't even have played soccer."

"You underestimate me, Vin-vin, just watch and learn how me, Yuffie Kisaragi, the greatest and sexiest ninja beat that boys," Vincent tried to stop the insane girl but she ran as fast as ninja (yes, she is a ninja, I forgot).

Vincent walked after Yuffie, although he didn't like the sun that shone on him, he must still followed Yuffie for she could wreak havoc.

"Hey you boys!"

The children stopped their play and staring at the female ninja. One of them who looked like the leader came toward Yuffie.

"What do ya want, missy?"

"I want to challenge y'all! I'll beat you guys in playing soccer. You are going to run to your mama and crying," Yuffie rubbed her nose and glanced over her shoulder to Vincent. She smiled broadly as she held up her thumb to the tall man. What did Vincent do? Yes, he sighed. Did she need to piss the boys off?

"You're gonna regret that, missy."

"Make me, lad! So who's gonna with me? Nah, I don't need, y'all versus me," The boys stared at each other. She must be out of her mind.

"Do what you like."

And so, the game started. Yuffie tried her best but as we know, Yuffie could do nothing except making trouble and stealing of course. She kept running, trying to catch the ball but the boys always one step farther than her.

Vincent tried to hide his laugh when he saw Yuffie panting and sometimes hit by the ball. Finally, the game was over, and unfortunately, the greatest and sexiest ninja, Yuffie, couldn't beat the 10 year old kids.

"Eat that, missy! All you can do is just talking, talking, and talking but all you can do is nothing. You are the most pathetic, cocky, shitter, and haggish girl in the world. C'mon guys, leave her alone so her mommy can wipe her snot," the boys leaved her. Yuffie could still hear their laugh even in distance.

Vincent walked slowly toward Yuffie. The girl now sitting with her knees hugged and muffled her head between her knees. Her shoulders were shaking.

"You okay, Yuffie?"

Yuffie lift her head and stared at Vincent who was standing beside her. Her eyes were filled with tears, her mouth was crooked, and Vincent could hear she sobbed. Vincent didn't know what to do, he was worried about Yuffie but in the other hand, he really wanted to laugh since he never seen Yuffie crying like this. She did it once or twice but never this excessive.

"VIIIIIIINNNIIIIEEEEEEEEE!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go to Tifa's. I'll buy you a cup of chocolate," Vincent pulled Yuffie up and hugged her shoulders as they walked together. Vincent bit his lips to stifle his laugh, but he couldn't hide his smile.

"Are you laughing, Vinnie?"

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are!"

"I'm not, Yuffie."

"Yes! Yes you are!"

"…"

"Fine, you are not. But if I see you laughing, I'll kick your ass to the moon."

"What's wrong to Yuffie?" asked Tifa as she handed a cup of chocolate to Vincent. Yuffie put her head on the table, her hands were hanging beside her. Since she came, she didn't say anything at all and it made Tifa worried.

"She lost the game."

"Wha-huh? Game?"

"I'll tell you later," Tifa nodded. Vincent walked away and sat beside the desperate girl.

"Here, your chocolate," Vincent placed the chocolate beside Yuffie's head but Yuffie didn't budge. Vincent sighed but didn't do anything, he just sitting beside Yuffie, waiting for her to lift her head.

"They beat me," said Yuffie without moving.

"They said I'm pathetic, cocky, shitter, and haggish," Yuffie still didn't move.

"They took my pride," Vincent glanced at the young girl, "They took what?"

"They took my pride!" Yuffie smacked the table and made Tifa and the other guests except Vincent jumped with shock.

"Yuffie! Please?"

"Sorry, Teef," Yuffie gazed at Vincent, "They took my pride, Vinnie!"

"It was just a game."

"Just a game? It's more than just a game! Oh, sacred pig! What will you do if someone takes your things? You-Are-Going-To-Take-It-Back! And that's what I'm gonna do!" Yuffie took the chocolate and drank it down in one gulp. She dusted her mouth with her arm and stared at Vincent's ruby eyes.

"Are you with me, Mr. Valentine?"

"Do I have choices?"

"No, you don't! C'mon Vin-vin! This is the new adventure for us, you and me. First of all, we need to find a couch. Let's go!"

Yuffie ran out of the bar, she didn't even say goodbye to Tifa. Vincent sighed and walked outside the bar. Before he was out, she looked at Tifa and nodded his head as his gratitude. Tifa casted a smile with "good luck" implied in her smile.

Vincent sighed (again). Good luck? He needed more than just good luck. But he couldn't deny what he had said before. Yuffie could make him do anything, included this.
