Just a small thanks to the support of the reviewers.. There doesn't seem to be many, but they seem to like this story. So, that's all that matters. XD


Y.E.LL.O.W H.A.Z.E- Chapter IV: And I can't see at all.

Yuffie could write a book.

Oh what subject, you may ask?

On the fact that she had way too much stuff happening that gave her the motivation to stick a kunai in someone's eye.

Let's start at the beginning.


As soon as Yuffie had gotten home, she had been greeted by a very pissed of Cid. He had then proceeded to yell at her for a good hour straight, exposing her to so many different types of curses, she now had a library filled with interesting insults involving throats, spears, and behinds- Hell, she could write a book on that, too...

To digress, Yuffie had ended up with a huge sore throat after engaging in a yelling fit with Cid. If it hadn't been for the fact that they had done this before, and the neighborhood was very used to these kinds of things happening- so when threats of death were screamed into the night air, they merely went on their merry little ways, acting as if it was just the sound of a little bird singing.

Long story short, Yuffie ended up with both a headache, and a pretty hefty grounding.

But, that was merely the first serving.

Currently, it was a Monday morning- and Yuffie was walking to school.

Why?

Because she had woken up late and missed her bus. She hadn't gotten a chance to grab anything to eat, and she knew that in a couple hours she was going to be dreadfully hungry- and it was a very well known fact that Yuffie loathed hungry with each and every fiber of her being.

If being grounded, being hungry, and being late for school weren't enough...

Yuffie was still totally screwed for her project.

The project that would either make her, or break her.

Grumbling as she heard the rather loud noise of the school bell ringing, she realized she'd reached the school, much to her pleasure.

Even if that bell meant that she was most definitely late.

Shrugging, and deciding that she'd end up strangling the closet creature she walked into the school. She was heading towards her locker as quickly as possible- paying no mind to the left over students in the hallway- they were either those that suffered from chronic tardiness, or students that just didn't care about being in class in the first place. Tanking her way through the hallways, she stumbled upon her locker, turning to it and spinning the dial.

She yelped in surprise when a large amount of paper fell out. Letting out a string of curses, she went down onto one knee gathered all of the scattered paper- with she noticed must have been printed off of the computer, due to the font. Shrugging her shoulders, she finally got the mess... Manageable. Standing up, she pushed the papers into her locker, before pausing as she caught sight of something. Turning her head to the side, with her hands still inside the locker, she stared at the note that was so elegantly taped to her locker door.

Raising an eyebrow, she gave one final shove to the papers, before in one swift movement- If Yuffie had friends, she would have bragged to them- she had grabbed her binder and the note and closed it. Dropping her binder to the ground, she locked her locker before sitting down onto the ground- leaning her back up against it. Slowly, she unfolded the piece of paper- not knowing how to react when she read what was inside- recognizing that handwriting anywhere.

Yuffie,

Felt sorry for you. Did your work for you.'

Now, Yuffie was a little freaked out. She had assumed that Cloud had known her name because- well, a lot of people knew who she was. But her locker? Her combination? Then again... It wasn't that hard to break into someone's locker.

Sighing, she folded the piece of paper into her pocket before standing up. Just as she was about to head into class, however, a loud announcement boomed over the overhead systems, filling the hallways, the bathrooms; and the classrooms.

"Would all students please report to the gym for an assembly."


Yuffie kicked her feet up onto the chair in front of her- the Gym-as usual- looked different- a strange rubber carpet had been placed all over the wooden floors of the Gym, as crappy, plastic, blue chairs had been placed everywhere and students and teachers were currently piling in. Yuffie rolled her eyes skyward, before placing her hands behind her head. Assemblies were usually very boring and all about how people should have more school spirit. Never the less, they were better then classes- or the in-school suspensions she used to get when she didn't care about school at all.

Finally, the Principals stood in front of the school, her hands gripping onto the pier in front of her. The spot light was on her and she didn't seem to care- instead, she looked rightly pissed. "Now, this wasn't a planned assembly... Yesterday night, sometime around twelve after the last janitor left... We had a break in. Now, nothing was stolen, but some of the school was left a mess, and the doors where left open. Although nothing was stolen, this is very upsetting- we are pretty sure that this was done by a student here. We are very disturbed to hear this- and if anyone knows anything, we'd like for you to inform us as soon as possible. Breaking into the school just for thrills is still wrong, and doing so shows how little school spirit we've been showing recently..."

Yuffie tuned out the rest of what she was saying, closing her eyes as her stomach rumbled loudly and painfully. What was going on currently with the school didn't interest her at all, why should she care if someone broke in? Not like it effected her- and for Heaven's sake, they didn't even take anything! Yuffie was pretty sure that the Principal just wanted a chance to rant on about her most beloved subject ever- school spirit.


Squall raised an eyebrow at his friend, folding his arms over his chest as he spoke calmly. "How should I know she'd would have picked that? Plus, you're the one that helped her find out more information." when his comrade stared him down coolly, he looked away. "Oh yes, I forgot, you couldn't let her fail." he was being sarcastic, and didn't even seem to flinch at the cold glare he was getting in return.

"From what you say, she's none the wiser. Just shut up and do what you usually do."

His friend glared at him, before shaking his head and walking off. Squall, however, merely shrugged, closing his eyes and leaning back against the wall behind him- despite the cold aura radiating off of him, he still managed to look smug.

"Whatever."


End Chapter Four.
