There are times in my life when I really wish I could talk. This is defiantly one of those times. I have been in Yuffie's care now for about a year, and in all the months she has had me she has never brought me to a place like this. Though I doubt it was planned, but yet here I am half hanging out of her bag as she runs through some godforsaken muddy terrain. Oh yeah did I mention that we were being chased? Yeah chased, by some monsters Yuffie and Reeve keep referring to as deep ground guys. Yuffie ran and leapt over the edge of a large dip in the ground. Landing on her butt she grabbed her back pack yanking me out and rummaging for a pair of binoculars. Reeve caught up with her jumping into the small crater with her.
"Please, Please tell me you have more ammo." Yuffie hissed as she whipped out the binocular and peeked over the rim looking to see if the deep ground soldiers will still behind us. Reeve searched his pockets shaking his head; Yuffie groaned handing the binoculars to Reeve. It had been raining for hours now and they were soaked. I had faired pretty well until now, having just been tossed in the mud. Yuffie grabbed her bag and turning it upside down dumped it out in the mud before sifting through the contents. Finding two clips of ammo she handed them to Reeve and began shoving all her items back in her bag.
"Yuffie, I don't see them out there but, they might be waiting for us…." Reeve hissed as he tried to move his leg to push himself up into a more comfortable position. Yuffie turned to him eyes wide having herd him.
"Are you okay Reeve?" Yuffie asked weakly as she crawled closer to him. Reeve nodded his head and he slammed the clip into the gun.
"I am fine just twisted my ankle running, I'll be fine." Yuffie nodded taking the binoculars and looking to make sure deep ground was no where in sight again.
"Looks like we get to stay here awhile." Yuffie mumbled before sitting back down in the ground next to Reeve. Yuffie pulled me out of her bag and sat me in her lap, and began plucking bits of mud and dirt from my down. Reeve looked over at me raising a tired eyebrow.
"Why did you bring him here?" Reeve's voice was tired; Yuffie laughed lightly looking down at me.
"I thought we were going to Tifa's I didn't think we were going to get ambushed on the way." Yuffie placed me back in her bag, before wrapping her arms around herself. The temperature had dropped dramatically the past few hours. Reeve noticed her shivering and wrapped an arm around her pulling her close.
"We will try and make a run for the truck in a few hours." Reeve said as he ran his hands up and down her arms trying to keep her warm.
"I can't wait for this to be over Reeve, why are we always the ones who have to save the world?" Reeve started laughing.
"I don't know…" Yuffie sighed resting her head against his chest.
"We are supposed to be at Tifa's right now, nice and warm in her living room drinking hot chocolate and watching tv….. this blows." Yuffie huffed wiping her wet hair out of her eyes. Reeve looked down at her flashing her grin.
"Hows about I make you a promise, when we get to WRO headquarters I will get you some hot chocolate." Yuffie nodded tiredly while trying to scoot closer to Reeve for warmth. Reeve smiled to himself, if it hadn't been for the icy rain pelting down I think he would be enjoying himself.
"Go ahead and get some sleep Yuffie, I will wake you up when its time to go." Yuffie yawned looking up at him with tired eyes.
"Thank you Reeve." She mumbled before dozing off, her head resting on his chest.

I was soaked, our little hide out had been reduced to a giant mud puddle. Reeve sat there keeping an eye on the horizon, wheatear he was watching for more deep ground creeps on hoping the rain would stop I don't know. All I know is that girl had better throw me in the washer when we get back, I bet I stink. Yuffie was currently out like a light sleeping next to or on top of Reeve rather. If I could laugh I would ,she had a stream of drool coming down her chin and unto Reeve shirt, though with this torrential down pour I doubt he'd even notice a bit more moisture.
"Yuffie… wake up sweetie its time to go." Reeve whispered into her ear while gently shaking her. The girl didn't budge; Reeve arched an eyebrow grinning before rudely shoving her off of him and into the mud beside them. She jumped up wide awake, and swung around to see Reeve doubled over with laughter.
"Oh yeah?! Think that's funny Reeve?" Yuffie seethed her hair stuck to her muddy face, the whole front of her covered with mud as she sat there kneeling on the ground. Reeve nodded laughing so hard he couldn't open his eyes. Though when he did he instantly regretted his actions as a large wad of mud hit him smack in the face. Reaching up he wiped the muck away from his eyes.
"That was a bit uncalled for Yuffie." Yuffie laughed at him, grabbing another handful of the ground.
"No that was payback…. THIS is on called for." She replied as crawled over to him and into his lap. Reeve's eyes went wide; he tried to stop her by grabbing her wrists but was to slow. Before he could act she reached up and slapped the mud ball in his hair and rubbed it in before smearing it down his face and neck and shoving the rest down the front of his shirt. Reeve looked at her shocked, she merely grinned back at him, her face and clothes covered in mud and dirt from when he pushed her.
"That was a dirty little trick, Yuffie" She shrugged while pulling her self off of his lap and brushing some of the mud off her clothes.
"You started it." Yuffie replied in a sing song voice as she grabbed her bag. Reeve pulled him self up out of the muck and grabbed the binoculars she held out to him.
"I guess that makes me a dirty boy." Yuffie started giggling as she leaned against the edge of the crater. Reeve looked out at the mist through his binoculars.
"I think we should be okay now, let's go Yuffs." Yuffie nodded her head taking the binoculars back from him and stuffing them in her bag next to me. She pulled out his gun and handed it to him along with the remaining ammo, before following him back to the truck.
"You promised me hot chocolate Reeve don't forget" Yuffie said nudging him with her elbow as the truck came into view. Reeve opened the truck door and stopped looking at her.
"But Yuffie, you are the hot chocolate" Yuffie eyebrows rose, as she climbed into the passenger seat of the truck.
"Wow Reeve that was a really bad joke." Reeve laughed gently as he placed the keys in the ignition, Yuffie just rolled her eyes.
