Chapter One stalking the chocobo


1 pm. Olympus Market Place, Monday.

After 3 years, 4 months and 2 days of endless adventure, the ultra cool Materia Hunter from the mystical village of Tranverse Town has finally found the long lost 'Chocobo'.

Yes I know, I have a very vivid imagination. So what? I just have an overly creative mind and I sometimes tend to talk to myself...What do you expect from me when I've been travelling around the worlds ALONE for three long years?

I looked at the photo of him in my hand then compared it with the figure standing at the corner of the market place as a broad grin spread across my face.

O' thank Leviathan! Thank the heavens for bestowing this great moment of my life. This happens to be one of those superly awesome game screen shots where I, the Great Ninja Yuffie am posing after completing part of my quest.

Oh ye-ah! Time for Uber-hawt-ninja-style victory dance.

Ahem. Please, stop looking at me like I'm some sort of a circus freak. Can't you let a girl enjoy her moment of glory? It's not everyday that you find the guy you've been searching for three years. See he's just standing at the corner of the marketplace…

Erm…You don't see him? Are you blind?

No…?

You think that I'M THE ONE WHO IS BLIND? Excuse me! I'm a Ninja who had tons of experience in this kind of stuff…I'm no ordinary ninja…I'm SUPER Ninja! Got that! So how can I be blind? I have once been told I have the vision of eagles.

See, he's just over ther-…-sweatdrop- .

Oh shit. No friggin' way!

He was just right there, standing RIGHT THERE in that little corner! Where did he go? No this can't be happening to me! How could I lose him…again? Gawd, you're so stupid Yuffie! He was just right there for you to drag his ass back to Tranverse Town.

My head swung back and forth and sighed of relief as I immediately spotted the 'chocobo' sitting on the rooftop of a building. It wasn't hard to find a guy with spiky blonde hair and carrying a massive gigantic was sitting on the stone rooftop, his red torn cape flowing with the wind. Seriously, he should get a new cape. It is torn and raggy as if he has been in many battles. Maybe he's poor and can't afford a new one. Or maybe I could buy him a new cape for his birthday.

YUFFIE! Stop thinking about good birthday gift ideas and CONCENTRATE ON YOUR MISSION!

I climbed up the chalk coloured building, up to the rooftop where my target was sitting on. I wasn't exactly creeping up to him stealthily or anything but the blonde did not seem to acknowledge my presence nor did he even flinch at all. Did he not notice I was there?

I innocently leaned over to tap him on the shoulder but before I could he used his scarily inhuman speed to turn around and squeezed the life out of my hand with his own, threatening to break it.

"OWWW!" I yelled my lungs off in pain, as he finally let his death grip off my hand. I seriously couldn't see that coming! He has god reflexes or something. I squirmed in pain and massaged my hand hoping to ease the pain. I then scowled at him and he held his stone cold gaze like he didn't even care that he nearly killed my hand!

"Why'd you do that for you psychopath? I was just going to tap you on the shoulder to try and be polite and acknowledge that I was here," I growled angrily, looking back at my sore nearly crushed hand, as I increased the pressure of my massage in a futile attempt to assuage the pain.

"I thought you were one of them hired to kill me," he replied in a cold matter-of-factly voice, showing no concern for my precious hand that he nearly broke. How could Aerith love a freaky guy like that? I think she must be high on some drugs or something.

"Well, I'm clearly not here to kill you," I snapped, but judging by his face, I don't think he believed me, as he continued to gaze intently at me.

"I saw you following me at the marketplace."

"Correction! I was following you ever since your meeting in the alleyway with some creepy blue demonic looking guy," I replied indignantly, crossing my arms across my chest. "At least when you claim that someone's following you, you gotta get the details right!"

"…"

"Well…erm…that did not come across the way I intended...Look, just forget about the whole thing before and start from anew," I sheepishly laughed to myself, as he maintained his usual stoic stance. "I'm the Great Ninja Yuffie! " I grinned and pulled out my nearly-killed-by-Cloud hand for him to shake it. Instead, the stupid jerk just ignored my very POLITE gesture and just stood up facing his back to me. How could he be so rude? NO ONE DISMISSES YUFFIE LIKE SOME FOOL!

Didn't his mother teach him any manners? I turned back to face him and saw that the stupid jerk was standing up, getting ready to leave! LEAVE? Do you believe the nerve of this guy? What does Aerith see in him? I can't see why she doesn't just get over him and hook up with Leon. Ugh! But I swore that I would bring his ass back, guess I will just have to. After all, an honourable ninja never breaks a promise.

"CLOUD you can't leave! I've been searching for you for THREE LONG years! I have to take you home with me!" I pouted and he immediately stopped.

Okay I admit, what I just said came out the wrong way. Seeing a 'stranger' yell at you, claiming that she wants to take you home might creep some people out. But when I saw his face I swear I saw a slight tint of emotion in his face. Yes IT'S TRUE! Mr I-have-no-emotions-because-I-think-everyone-is-out-to-kill-me was scared of lil' innocent me. Well, I guess I can be a little scary because I am so powerful. Nyuk nyuk nyuk!

"You are stalking me…" he concluded blankly interrupting my thoughts.

"Stalking? I wouldn't call it Stalking…" I muttered in response.

"…"

"Hey! I was FOLLOWING, not stalking you. And it's for a good reason."

"Uh huh…"

"Me being the good Sumeritan, offered to go on a dangerous journey sailing across vast seas searching far and wide, flying across worlds of many different cultures, fighting evil-doers and saving the damsels in distress from the fiery pits of hell-"

"…You are rambling…"

"I was not!"

"…"

"Okay, I admit, I may be rambling, but only just a little. Anyway, continuing with my story until someone rudely interrupted me. Where was I? I can't remember. Well I'll just sum things up. On behalf of Aerith, I volunteered to search for you and yeah, poof! Here I am!"

"…"

"Fine, I didn't volunteer to bring you back I got manipulated by stupid Squallie."

"…"

"Stop going staring blankly at me! It's frigging ANNOYING! Conversation is a two way street!" I glared daggers at him but I don't think he even cared. He seemed to be in his own world, his light brown brows furrowed together in deep thought. He sort of had the same look that I once saw on Cid when he was dreaming about his own fairy world with flowers and rainbows. Its just Cloud wasn't drooling nor was he smiling like a goofball mumbling random words about Tifa's boobs like Cid was.

"Who is this Aerith?" Cloud asked interrupting my thoughts.

Oh. My. Goodness! I can't believe he just asked that! How could he not know who Aerith was?

"Are you JOKING? You don't know who Aerith is. She's like the girl who is madly in love with you and is crying her heart everyday thinking about you! She's the reason why I went on this stupid mission in the first place and you think you have the right to not remember her!"

"…"

"Well, I've been searching for ages for you so I don't even care if you claim forgot her! I'm bringing your ass down to Tranverse Town to reunite the two of you whether like it or not!" I said sternly, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I can not…"

"Can't what? Come with me? WHY BLOODY NOT?"

"I have unfinished business. I must go now," he said as he turned his back to me for the second time and began walking away until I hooked my arm around his in protest.

"Did you not hear me? I'm bringing you back to Tranverse Town! NOW!" I ordered.

"I apologise that you wasted three years searching for me," he softly replied, as he flicked my hand off his arm. I angrily huffed and stood in front of him, blocking his exit to the ladder off the roof.

"I've trapped you on this rooftop and you have no way out," I smirked proudly. Man, I sound like one of those bad guys trapping their victims! "You can't get past me unless you beat me up or miraculously grow wings and fly off." There was no way for him to go and I don't think he would jump off the roof. It was a very LONG way down! He could break his bones if he tried and I don't think anyone is stupid enough to do that. But I don't really know if Cloud would…he is blonde after all.

But to my dismay, my indigo eyes widened like saucers as dark wings magically sprouted from his back. Before I could do anything, he was already flying off into the distance. I just stood there, dumbfounded my mouth urging to scream at him. But what could I say? No matter what I said, he would still ignore me and fly off.

"Cheater…" I huffed with defeat, as I forced myself to keep the tears at bay.

Come on Yuffie. Think of positive thoughts. Hopefully I would find him again! Besides, he had to be somewhere lurking around in Olympus. You found him once, you could find him again right? You might bump into him again whilst roaming the streets.

Oh who am I kidding. Olympus was a huge, way too overpopulated city and there was a very slim chance of finding him again. At this moment, I felt like crying, screaming to myself. My hopes rose to a high peak, only to be crushed right down.

My knees grew weak as I plumped down on the stone cold rooftop, sitting in the shadows as I helplessly watched the figure fly off into the sunset…
