When You're Gone
Chapter 3: The Only One

I walked for awhile before I came to the warehouse. I'd come here every night for the past week. I said I was just coming to think, but who was I kidding? I wanted to see him.

"You came back," his voice said. I was so happy.

"Yeah. I didn't get your name last time," I explained. Great reason, Yuffie.

"So you came all this way for my name?" I could hear a smile in his voice. Or was he laughing at me?

"No," I said, "I came to think again."

"About what?" he asked.

"My perfect revenge," I said evilly. During the past week, I'd gone over every scenerio in my mind. If he asked what I thought about, I figured revenge worked.

"On who?"

I hadn't thought of that.

"Someone who broke my heart," I said at last, "I'm trying to make him think I don't need him, since I already have a boyfriend."

"So is it working?" he asked.

"It'd be far more convincing if I had a boyfriend to shove in their face," I laughed, "Why do you come?"

"I don't know."

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Someone."

"What's your name?"

"I can't tell you that," he said after weighing his options.

"Why not?"

"Sometimes it hurts more to know things. If you don't know, the better."

"Then can I at least see you?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you see me either. You'd recognize me."

"Then tell me what you look like." I said after sighing overdramatically.

He sighed, then said, "I have dark hair and red eyes. I'm about...a few inches taller than you."

"Can you see me?" I asked.

"Yes. That's why I know it's best that you don't know who I am."

"So you know who I am," I said.

"Yes. You're Yuffie."

I gasped. Who was he?

"Please tell me who you are," I begged.

"I can't. It'd...upset you."

"How would it upset me?"

"It just would."

"Are you Cid or someone?"

He laughed, then said, "No. I can't tell you. I'm sorry."

"One day will you? Can I see you sometime?"

"Maybe. But I'd have to kill you."

Suspense! Who is this person? I know...but you don't.

'The Only One' is a song by Evanescence. Any connection? Hm...
