A//N; This is a story which will be divided in three parts: prologue, head story, epilogue. Everything should be completed before saturday.

Since I was so inspired by the song "For the heart I once had" by Nightwish, I decided to include the lyrics in the upcoming chapter. So I guess you could call it a songfic... hmm... my first one...

Dedication; This is for all those who have lost someone loved. Especially dedicated to the victims of the Jokela massacre, november 7th 2007, and those close to them...

Disclaimer; All I own here is the plot and my imagination...

"ShinRa Headquarters. What can I do for ya?"

"Reno..."

"Tifa?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Well, I'll be damned! Why're ya callin'? Wait, I'll pull ya through to the boss..."

"Wait! It's you I'm calling for this time..."

"Ain't that sweet! You finally lettin' me take ya out?" Reno hid his surprise behind his usual flirty manner.

"No, Reno. I have a message from Yuffie."

Yuffie. What she want with him? After all, she'd been avoiding him the last couple of years. '5 years. She haven't talked to me for 5 years. What the fuck does she wanna talk about now?" Not that he cared. Nope, he didn't give a shit about her.

"What she want?" He did nothing to hide his cynical attitude.

"She... She needs to know your blood type."

"My what?"

"You heard me, Reno." Tifa answered, carefully avoiding revealing too much. It wasn't her task to do so. It was Yuffie's.

"0 negative. Why?" He knew she was hiding something. You didn't just call people to ask about their medical records...

"It's not up to me to tell. But I beg of you to come down here. You're our only hope." And with that, she hung up on him.

'What the hell was that about?' Reno slammed the phone on the desk. Something sure was going on...

You're our only hope...

Life wasn't fair!

Yuffie Kisaragi sat on the roof, watching the stars. She couldn't sleep. Or rather, she could, but she was too scared. Her exhausted body longed for rest. Her mind longed for rest.

Everytime she closed her eyes nightmares came to haunt her with the ruthless feeling that she was losing the war. She faught and faught and faught, but it would never be enough. The only reason for her to exist, the little being that was her whole world, was slipping away.

She only had one hope left, but she forced herself not to put too much trust in it. Reno never wanted a family. He had no reason to come for her rescue. 'Leviathan, he doesn't even know!'

You're my only hope...
