Being a princess

"YOU! HOW COULD YOU?!" I yelled across the bar at the blonde, which was happily sipping his red whine. Of course, he doesn't have an idiot as a bodyguard! Then I glanced at the near table, which had Tseng poking his strawberry cake and staring from while to while at me. Well, maybe. Of course, I mean for what he's done I'll strangle him. No, I'll shoot him. No, I'll let him smell Reno's socks!

About the socks, Reno woke me up early by throwing his socks around his apartment searching for his underwear and of course a pair of socks landed on my face. As if that was the only problem. Then in Rufus' order there is a 'do not wake Yuffie, only in case of certain circumstances'.

I doubt that whining under my ear if I can pass the battle with Darth Vader in episode III in Lego Star Wars is an emergency. I mean, yeah, I love those running around Lego things, but still. I mean, have mercy on me, I slept three freaking hours after billions of alcohol bottles!

"Ah, 'Morning, Yuffie. You look dazzling as always. I knew that black suits you." Rufus smiled putting down his glass. THAT'S ALL HE CAN SAY?! I ASKED HIM TO HELP ME, NOT GIVE ME HELL!!!

Reno and Rufus were limited with a plain 'hello'. That red head didn't even kept staring at me like Tseng did at Rufus. Tseng even moved closer, as Reno whispered something in Rufus' ear. Rufus simply shrugged to Reno's question. I stared at them confused.

Then Reno lit a cig and inhaled, which caused the waitress to point at the sparkly sign, which read 'no smoking'. Reno so very politely told her to simply stick that sign and I ignored the ending. Rufus rolled his eyes and fixed his gaze on me, smiling.

"Yuffie, I talked to Godo." Rufus said all of a sudden breaking the still atmosphere. I quickly sat on the chair and waited for him to continue. Reno continued ignoring the waitress, causing me to drop a 'comment' towards his direction.

"What? Rufus, I asked you to help, not to walk up to dad and yell in his face, that he's insane." I smirked. I guess I still felt uneasy with the fact that I was asking for help. But then, wasn't it Rufus, who asked me if I needed help? I guess with the fact, that I was drunk yesterday, I forgot.

"I'm not sure that it's Geostigma. It didn't get cured with Aerith's… water. His body reacts to the infected cells identically like to Geostigma cells, but there are some differences. It can be another Geostigma, but Sethiroth's plans failed, why would he try the same method?" Rufus said aloud, as if he was talking to himself. "But the doctor said he had been hiding it and it got the final stage." He continued without fixing his gaze on something.

"If Sephiroth will come back, we'll kick his butt. No, I will! Who said Spiky killed him on his own?" I said cheering up all of a sudden. If Sephiroth would come back, then my wedding could be later. Hell, who says I'm getting married? I am the great ninja Yuffie, I don't need a freaking man to make me happy!

I wish Godo would understand that.

"Well, before we continue our chat, perhaps we should order?" Rufus said with a light nod towards the menu in front of me. As I began flipping threw it, Reno and Rufus already put their away and waited for me to choose.

"Did you decide?" Another waitress headed up to us. I finally chose what I wanted and ordered after Reno and Rufus. The blonde waited for someone to continue our topic, but as soon as Reno wanted to say something he got cut off due that the drinks came.

"Karaoke?" The waitress asked nodding towards the stage. I blinked in surprise. By Reno's dazed look it was either he wasn't told or he was acting. I'm sure he sucked at acting. I'm the best at karaoke. I felt like hugging Rufus for such a surprise. I, the great ninja Yuffie am a great singer too. No, the best!

"Yup!" I grinned already standing up. The waitress smiled happily. "Will your partner be the gentleman you came with?" She smiled looking at Reno and waiting for the red head's answer.

"No, thanks, yo." Reno shook his head, taking a gulp from his alcoholic just brought drink. I smirked which caused him to show his tongue at me.

"Of course you can't, you're scared because you can't sing or even read the words on the screen." I smirked showing my tongue. Reno rolled his eyes and smirked back.

"I will sing with you Yuffie." Rufus said, but everyone ignored him and Reno quickly replied standing up.

"I totally can you little brat, yo. You're scared that you'll look pathtic in front of my singing. I'll sing with you." He mocked me, quickly finishing his drink. Then the red head grabbed my hand and literally dragged me on stage. His eyes sparkled, as if this was an adventure.

"You, stop dragging me. I am a princess, a ninja princess." I said returning to my usual self. Reno smirked, shaking his head and looking at the lady, which was choosing a song for us. He showed his tongue at me again, muttering some nonsense that he's better than me at singing and that I'm just a small girl. I'm nineteen for crying out loud! Wait, how old is that red headed thing anyway?

"The song for our current couple is 'What I like About You'." The lady smiled and handed over the microphones to us.

Couple?

WHAT THE HELL?!

Only Reno said that aloud and without the word hell and replaced it with a harsher one. The lady ignored it and headed off the stage as the first notes were heard. I closed my eyes singing with Reno the first two lines. After those two we were s'posed to sing each one line after another and together the chorus. I opened them as I felt Reno wrap his arms around me singing 'What I like about you, you hold me tight'. I stared at him in shock, but managed to sing out the next line.

"What are you doing you, Jerk?" I quickly whispered before the chorus started. I managed to shoot him a glare. He definitely wasn't worthy of me, not even Rufus with his money and politeness. Maybe some drop dead actor would be worthy of me. Yuppers.

"You want the shiny trophy or not, yo?" He whispered back and let go off me. "Hugging part over, be happy." Reno winked at me, causing me to slightly kick him, hopefully nobody noticed. The red head swore quietly but continued singing.

We sang the stupid song from Shrek's soundtrack and bowed. Thankfully he didn't grab my hand or anything like that. I could hear somebody from the crowd yell 'kiss' and some people echoed. Reno glanced at me with his eyes smiling.

"Don't even dare." I hissed at him on my way off the stage. Gladly, a couple ran up the stage shrieking that they wanted to be the next ones up. The crowd's attention turned from us to them and I was thankful for that, despite that I loved attention.

But then, maybe a kiss wouldn't be that bad?

What the hell are you thinking, Yuffie?
