Chapter Three
Adrenaline pumped through her veins as excite filled the ninja's mind. It was going to be her first battle in the Colosseum and she couldn't wait until it was her turn. Yuffie waited to fight at the backroom with the other criminals. The first round of battles would be against creatures, and the non-volunteers (criminals) would have to go through a qualifying round. The motto in the first round was kill or be killed. Simple as that.
"Yuffie stop jumping around, I know you're excited but you're going to tear my hand off," Rikku said pulling the ninja's hand away from hers.
"Sorry Rikku, I'm just so excited to get my hands all dirty and whoop some monster's butt!" Yuffie grinned. "And how long is that Charmeleon guy taking to defeat the monsters? He's taking ages!"
"Y'mean how long is it taking Charmeleon to die. Besides, you're a pipsqueak so don't get too excited to die kid. The colosseum is not a place fer little girls," Xigbar, the man with the eyepatch said.
"WHY YOU…" Yuffie shouted but got pushed back by Rikku. Then a blonde haired boy who works there walked to them.
"Roxas, I take it that Charmeleon lost? How was it?" Rikku asked turning to him.
" Charmeleon got slaughtered but he put up a good show," Roxas said calmly. " Next opponent!" Yuffie jumped up only to be smashed to the ground by a man with an eyepatch.
"Wait yer turn kid. I'm after Charmeleon 'member," Xigbar smirked bumping Yuffie out of the way. She scowled at him as she watched his back drift further and further away through the doors of the battlefield…
…And that was the last time she saw him…

Yuffie POV
"You're back so soon Roxas?" Rikku asked as the guard walked towards them. "Weren't you supposed to watch the battle?"
"The battle's already over within 3 minutes. Quite pathetic…" Roxas said as Yuffie gulped, nerves taking over her. Xigbar died within 3 minutes…oh my gawsh…
Three minutes…
That's like 180 seconds…
I saw him 180 seconds ago…and now he's gone…
And I'm going to go out there to that graveyard…
"Yuffie it's your turn but you'll have to wait a while. It got a little messy out there, and we're cleaning up the blood," Roxas smiled. "Don't worry, you'll get your chance to fight!"
On second thoughts…I didn't feel like fighting at all now…I know, the GREAT NINJA YUFFIE doesn't want to fight! What's happening? Since when I'm afraid of death? NEVER! So GET YOUR BUTT OUT THERE AND KILL…
-------x o x--------
The crowded roared loudly, cheers and chants filled the stadium. My grey eyes widened, enthralled by the colosseum's massive structure. My knee-high boots slowly stepped against the blood stained dirt walking to the centre of the battleground. I knew that Xigbar had once heard the yells of the audience; I knew that he once stood at this same spot…and hopefully I wouldn't share the same fate that he did…
I scanned the audience and spotted the other participants sitting down to the left next to where Hercules was situated. I squinted as I made out that Cloud was one of the people watching. Near him, was the black haired man with the white armour that bumped into me at the training ground. I was a small fighter, standing in the middle of the stage with thousands of people looking down at me chanting for me to either injure the monsters I was about to fight, or get completely decapitated by the monsters. Right now I looked weak, like a puppet in front of a stage.
I feel manipulated…
By strings I couldn't control…
I shook my fears and nerves away, as I stretched my arms and legs. I had to look strong especially since Roxas, Rikku and Cloud are watching. I don't want them to see me die. And I can't die! I still have my promise I made Aerith to fulfil.
Even though the audience was roaring, I could hear the angry grinding of sharp teeth behind the gates. My nerves rushed back to me, as I held my shuriken up. The gate opened and a pack of lions with large fangs charged at me as I easily dodged it.
You're a 'gladiator' now, sent to entertain the crowd. I might as well and give them a good show just in case I die. I charged towards the lions, my shurikens danced back and forth, a lion fell where I stood in front of it. I sent my shuriken to the lion as it entered through the bottom of the neck and exited through the back of the skull. I gave a victory sign and the audience roared again. My confidence built up as I looked over at Rikku and Roxas who was screaming their heads off in happiness. I turned to face Cloud who had that same look that he always had…like he didn't care at all…
Gradually more creatures were sent out, the difficulty level increased each time, but I, the Great Ninja Yuffie managed to defeat them all! A wide grin appeared on my face as I played the crowd like a finely turned instrument using finesse and style to impress. Oh yeah! Yuffie Kisaragi is on a roll!
"Okay…ladies and gentlemen. Yuffie Kisaragi, being the only female criminal that has made it thus far… but we have finally approached the last round which is said to be the hardest of them all…The last round contains a vicious monster that is feeling very hungry. This is the newly addition to the qualifying rounds so this will be the first appearance for them in the colosseum. Can she qualify and survive?" the announcer enthusiastically said making the crowd roar again.
Vicious monsters…?
My eyes flicked over to Rikku and Roxas who had a worried look on their face.
Shrieks of ghastly monsters came from behind the largest gates. The audience immediately froze and went dead silent. I could hear my heart pounding fast, as I wiped the sweat from my face. I felt like time was going slow as the gates slowly lifted up. My eyes trembled, locked into two bloodthirsty glowing eyes that lurked in the darkness behind the gates. It was only one person…correction, one monster…
…and since it was only one…
…that thing had to be powerful…
I took a long deep breath…
BAM
In a split second, I realized that my body flew up soaring through the dusty air, smashing into the brick wall…later all I could smell was my own blood…

A/N- Where is the Clouffieness you ask? There's none in this chapter, sorry. This is kinda a follow up to the hints of Clouffieness in the next chapter. But I introduced Roxas in this chapter though XD.
I just watched some crazy war anime called Berserk hence my mood-change for the sudden urge for fighting XD.
