I don't own the song pieces by Dark new day or snows in hell by Lordi, also these song were just mentioned by name not lyrics though I might use them at a later time. The song I do use in this chapter is called Take it away by Castedown if your interested check our there myspace, any who onwards with the show.

Yuffie gazed warily at the passing terrain. The wistful smile on her face told anybody that was passing, well that is if anyone was actually passing her on the grassy plains by Kalm that she was happy about the soon to be reunion with her friends. She reminisced on the good things about seeing them once again. A wark brought her out of her thoughts as her eyes landed on the upcoming town. Edge, she thought had actually grown quiet a bit since she last visited a few months ago.

'Finally, gawd I thought the trip would never end.' The young ninja thought tiredly. 'Should of called Cid for a lift.' She silently told herself as she plucked down the road that would lead to Tifa's bar. Woman, men and children young and old stopped and starred or waved at the youngest member of Avalanche as she made her way to the stables behind the busty woman bar.

"You be a good girl okay!" Yuffie said as she untracked her chocobo while passing her some greens. With her bag slung over her shoulder she entered the dimly lit bar as it was still early in the evening.

"Yuffie!" Tifa the large breasted woman with the mahogany eyes yelled causing the few patrons in the bar to look up as Tifa embraced the young ninja.

"Tifa, how are you?" Yuffie asked, bouncing on the balls of her feet. A habit that she picked up when she you a child.

"I'm doing well. The rest of the gang will be here in a few hours." The bartender said with a smile while Yuffie looked around the bar trying to spot a man in a red cloak.

"So is Vincent coming? Hey wait" Yuffie exclaimed seeing as Tifa turning around to head back towards the bar. "Where's Cloud?" She asked while wiggling her eyebrows. Tifa chuckled lightly as she pointed behind Yuffie. Yeah sure at first when she joined the group she had a crush on him but it slowly dissipated as she liked him in a brotherly sort of way.

"Hey Yufs." Cloud said quietly as the ninja turned around and hugged the crap of the former leader, a huge smile plastered on her face.

"And how have you been doing my chocobo headed friend? Any recent deliveries?" Cloud chuckled at her antics as she tiptoes to touch one of his spikes.

"Naw not lately, but what have you been up to?"

"Ahhh. Not a whole lot. Just a little of this and a little of that." At the questioning looks she stopped an sighed. "And no none of it deals with materia."

"That's good, you finally got over your obsession with materia huh. I never thought that I'd live to see the day." Tifa piped up with a small smile on her face.

"No, actually besides running form Godo trying to get me married, I started to sing at clubs and that what not." Unfortunately she didn't seen to notice Vincent walk into the bar and up to his room.

"Oh, that's great." Tifa said giving a wink to Cloud indicating Vincent was home. Yep after the deep ground incident and coming back for Lucretia's cave he decided to take up the Strife's offer to live with them as long as he bounced the bar. "Hey Yufs?" She asked quietly and when the said ninja looked at her she continued. "Would you mind singing tonight?"

"Sure I see no problem with that. What time do you want me on?" Yuffie said while bouncing.

"How about in thirty?" Cloud stated. When Yuffie looked at him in shock.

"Where's my room and a bathroom. I am so not getting on stage looking and smelling like a chocobo." She exclaimed while Cloud led her away and Tifa smiled easily at her customers. In the reality of the situation the rest of the gang should be at the bar in five minutes, but that was a surprise for Yuffie. As soon as everybody arrived and Vincent came down to start bouncing was when Tifa gathered the rag tag team together minus Yuffie.

"Hey guys how are you doing?" After everyone said that they were doing well the question everybody was wondering came.

"Hey where the fuck is the brat?" Cid asked. To him Yuffie was like a daughter that he never had and he the over protective father. Not seeing her at or in the bar made him a tad bit concerned.

"She's up stairs showering." Tifa paused. "She's going to sing tonight so I want all of you to hide in the shadows cause she dose not think your coming till later." At their nods they all found places in the back that way you could barley see them. Meanwhile in the bathroom, Yuffie was contemplating to her self while blow drying her hair.

'Ok so what to sing... Pieces? Naw not that. Snows in hell? Nope... I know TAKE IT AWAY. Yep that will be my song for the night.' Yuffie thought while she sighed. She started with her makeup. Dark green eyeshadow with mascara and eyeliner making her stormy grey eyes stand out even more. Next was her corset top. It was black and jade green with small sliver ninja starts embroidered on it. Next was her fishnet stocking followed by her black and green mini and combat boots. Lastly was her black arm warmers.

'Alright big breath.' Yuffie said to herself as she started down the stairs. In the corners many of the Avalanche groups mouths dropped open at the sight of her in the new get up that she was wearing. She also earned many a cat calls which she pointedly ignored.

"Ok Tifa give the band these notes for 'take it away'" Yuffie said as she passed the notes to Tifa then going and sitting on the stage taking to one of the many men up front. Soon the lights dimmed and the stage brightened. Yuffie did a back flip on to the stage and waited forty five seconds into the song be for she started.

Leave me without a trace to find

Find a place to run and hide

Yuffie arms came out as her face showed loneliness.

These things are not dead and wont subside

Wishing I could find the will to die

Her hands came to her heart as if she had deep sorrow.

You don't know what you have done to me

Take away my will to breath

Close my eyes so I don't have to see

That your taking away my everything

She all but growled out the last part. As soon as the chorus started she jumped up in down in time with the beat.

Your taking away, taking away my everything

Your taking away, taking away my sanity

Yuffie sang as she clutched her head.

Your taking away, taking away

Your taking away, taking away

She smiled at tall the crowds reactions as she caught a glimpse of a red cloak.

All I want in life is happiness

Away from all the pain and stress

Her eyes closed as if in bliss as the song wrapped around her.

My heart is trying to beat right through my chest

Wishing I could make some since of this

She screamed out.

If I could only have you by my side

Shed my soul like at the tears I cried

Her hands were up towards the sky bringing them down in a sweeping motion across her face.

Take a moment and lets give up a try

Even if it's only for tonight

She sang reaching out to the crowd with her hands.

Your taking away, taking away my everything

Your taking away, taking away my sanity

She went over to the guitarist and started to head bang while it was in a solo. He was actually cute she had to admit to herself. Black hair, green eyes and an easy smile. Yuffie spun away from him and back to the front of the stage.

Your taking away, taking away

Your taking away, taking away

Your taking away, taking away

Your taking away, taking away

She sang each line getting dimmer and dimmer so finally you couldn't hear her anymore. Finally the end of the song was reached as Yuffie closed her eyes. The crowd sprang to life instantly with clapping and cheering as all of Avalanche came out of hiding. Yuffie flashed her award winning smile and waved at Vincent when he nodded.

'Yep, this is going to be a good reunion.' Yuffie thought her smile not disappearing.
