Rogue Ninja

Wow. I though I'd never update this again! First I get rushed by midterms, then my computer gets a virus, THEN WRITERS BLOCK AAAAHHH! At least I put up the valentine fic up, luckily. Enjoy the read!


Yuffie's eyes widened. She most definitely did not see this coming.

Leon shook with rage. "What do you think your doing!"

Squall chose to ignore him. The feel of her lips on his were much more interesting.

Yuffie tried to back away, but she couldn't escape his iron grip. So instead, she let him have his way. 'This is kind of nice.' She thought, eyes sliding closed.

It felt like the moment had lasted for an eternity before they parted. Short hot gasps mingled in the sweet air. Eyes glazed over from years of buried lust.

Then, to ruin the moment, Yuffie got back to her senses.

SLAP

It came so fast and burned like leather. Squall's head was turned to the side, his chestnut hair covering most of his face. It was very apparent on the ninja's shocked face, she had not meant to do that.

"W-wh-what was that!" Her words stumbled out of her mouth, still shaky from the kiss.

"Yeah. What was that!" Leon demanded.

Squall took in a sharp breath. "I... we all... Aerith hasn't been the same... what I mean to say is-"

"You missed me."

He could have cringed at how emotionless that sounded. It was like she was void of emotion, very unlike of her. "Y-yeah. Things have changed. For the worst." He dug into his pockets, looking for something. "Here."

Yuffie inwardly gasped. He had given her back her membership card!

... After all this time... It took a month... a whole month... to chase after her...

Squall took a step back. Yuffie was trembling and he was sure it wasn't a good sign.

Yuffie stopped. She looked at him with a small grin on her face. "How sweet. The great Squall Leonhart, hero and leader of Radient Garden, reduced to begging a little girl he despised for so long to come back to him, like an old girlfriend." She tore the card in half, like it was wet paper, then shoved it roughly into his chest.

Not only was the card torn. Squall felt his heart break to pieces. "Yuffie. I... I don't despise yo-"

"Sure you don't! If the last ten years of my life wasn't proof enough!" She snarled.

The warrior racked his brain for anything. Anything! "Yuffie. I'm sorry! There, I said it! I'm sorry for everything i've ever done to you! I'm sorry I belittled you! I'm sorry I treated you like a child! A-and I'm sorry... I'm sorry I abandoned you."

Yuffie glared and shook her head. "You act like an apology will magically fix every thing. Well, news flash Squall! It doesn't. You still kicked me out. I had nothing: No food. No munny. Not even a little support. It was just, 'pack your bags and get. Out.'" She quote.

Silence.

Releasing a tense breath from her chest, she bent down to pick up the TV sized book.

When had she dropped it? Probably when he kissed her, he concluded. "Why did you take that?"

"It's mine."

"Actually no. It isn't yours."

"Yes it is mine." She growled fiercely. She opened the cover. He read the first page: Property of Kisaragi family. "It's my heritage, but being such a book fanatic, the king stole it and added it to the libraries collection. Only the book looked empty to their eyes." She turned away. "Now open this door."

Squall sighed. His hand ruffled his chestnut hair in thought. "Where do you live?"

"Open the door."

"For a short time, we thought you were living in a box."

"And yet you didn't care enough to look for me. Now open the door."

Another sigh. Must be depression. "I'll let you out on one condition."

His response was a sharp, "What."

"Let me walk you home." He tried to decipher her body language.

"I know what your doing. Your trying to find out if I'm homeless or not. Not gonna happen."

"Then that doors as good as locked. At least untill everyone else wakes up."

She glared daggers. "Last warning: Open the door or I destroy it."

Squall didn't believe her. That door was solid oak. Thick as well. "There's no way your shurikens can damage that."

Yuffie snuffed her nose, as if like royalty. "I warned you. Now don't blame me if you get hurt."

Squall stared curiously as the black vixen started unrolling strips of paper and quickly stuck them on the door. "What is paper going to-" She dashed right past him.

"Hey ya! See ya! Wouldn't want to be ya!"

Boom.

"Exploding paper!" Leon shouted in surprise.

Squall was thrown back by the sheer force of it. Splinters of flying wood scratched at his skin. 'Yuffie is just full of tricks. Now I know why she chose the fox. Very fitting, Kisaragi Yuffie.'

Once again donning the mask of Foxie, the ninja ran into the night, but not before whispering one final message as Yuffie.

"I am an assassin of the night. The grim reapers hound to command. The next time we meet, we are enemies. I admit, your affection would have made my heart stop once. But I am a ninja. A trained killer. If I couldn't have been accepted here, then it's time I carry my family name harder."

Squall ran outside hearing it all, but hoped to at least give her a message of his own. "You will never be my enemy. Even if you shroud yourself in darkness, you will always be my light. I was blind before. Casting you away was stupid of me. It was when you were gone... my heart... I never thought it could hurt so much. I love you. I always will."

His message was greeted with silence. He wasn't even sure she heard it.

'No. She heard it.'

He stepped back inside. He gave the broken door a weary look. "Now how am I going to explain this?"
