Rogue Ninja

It's been awhile, eh guys? I'm sorry for the hiatus, but this story is bothering me.

Audiance: UPDATE ALREADY!

O-okay! You got it! Have fun reading! -runs for it-


Yuffie's palace was looking better everyday. The more stuff she stole, the cleaner and richer the place looked. Now she just had to make sure no one ever finds this place. The trees were to tall to spot it from above. There was no dirt path to it. The trees were to close together for anyone to walk there. The only way to get to it, was to jumps on top of the trees. Yuffie felt proud to say, she was safe to practically everything, but the heartless. But that would soon change.

Yuffie picked the heavy book and placed on her table. She opened it. In the white pages, were lists of abilities and spells. Though the only spell she was looking for, was a purification spell. She had the ingrediants.

Finding what she was looking for, she slipped out off her kimono and into a silk gown. The gown was laced with rosary beads tightly wound to her body, in a spiral fashion. A white rose was in her hair.

Yuffie took a deep breath, then started to dance. Her steps were fluent and graceful. The red wine colored beads glowed, illuminating the room with a powerfull feeling.

Shadows dissolved into the air. Black mist collected together and flew out the window in the semi form of snake with red eyes. It hissed in pain. The light from the spell was to strong for it.

Once outside, it takes a more dragon-like shape. It grew six wings. Three on each side. It grows to more heads. The left has yellow eyes. The right has blue eyes. Before the rest of it could be deciphered, it dived into a pool of darkness.

"... I think I just created a monster... oops..."

...

Tifa and Stitch were on patrol. The blue alien crawled on lamp posts and any other high position.

"Stitch see nothing!"

Tifa scoffed. "We'll know it when we see it, my ass! What's the worse Yuffie could create? A monster? I think not!"

"RAAAAWR!"

Below her, a humongous dragon had slithered past her in the form of a shadow. It disapeared into the darkness of an alley way.

Tifa stared ahead in shock. "There is no way in hell, i'm fighting that. I am NOT heartless food!"

Stitch was the complete opposite of her. "Stitch go get the guns ready! Ah-hahaha-hahaha-HA!" Stitch was VERY excited.

...

Aerith paced the living room floor.

"Oh dear. Oh dear. This isn't good. This isn't good!"

Cloud tried to get her to sit down, but she wouldn't hold still! "Aerith! Calm down! Nothing is wrong. Your safe."

The flowergirls eyes seemed bloodshot, as if fore seeing an event from the future. "NO! We'll die! We'll die!"

"Is that girl still yapping? She didn't break something did she?" Cid walked in. All the thumps had woken him up.

Cloud shook his head. "I don't know what's wrong with her. She just got up and started pacing."

"It's going to get us! I saw it! A heartless with three heads!"

Cid lit a smoke. "And where did you see it?" He asked slowly, as if talking to a little girl.

"My head! I mean in a dream! I saw it! It's anger and revenge in physical form! It wants us. It wants Leon. And it wants... Yuffie."

Aerith's body slumped and fell. Cloud quickly caught her. He saw tears creating a river on her frail face. Her body shook violently, as if in the middle of a snow storm. Her skin was freezing cold.

Cloud gasped in horror. "I think she's sick!"

Cid felt the poor girls head. "Ah. So she's delusional from a high fever. Take her to bed. I'll warm up some soup."

"Thanks Cid."

"No prob."

Cloud could honestly say, he was glad Cid had found them during the heartless invasion. He had been the father figure of them all. Even now, that parental side of him comes out now and then.

The door creaked open. Cloud turned swiftly. "Leon?"

"I heard a commotion. Everything alright?" The gunblade weilder asked.

"... yeah. Aerith has a fever. Cid's warming up some soup."

It was a long silence.

"So when do you plan on catching the shadow thief?"

This question caught Squall off guard. "What's that supposed to mean?" He growled.

Cloud left Aerith's side on the bed. "You know what I mean. You never take interest in her capture. It seems you want to let her get away. I see it in the way you move. Your relieved when she gets away. What do you know? What's your dirty little secret?"

Squall didn't have a comeback for this. "I don't know what's your problem, but that's not the case." Squall knew his eyes were betraying him. Cloud had read him like a book.

"Your lying."

Squall found himself pushed back. He snarled at the blond. "Back off, Strife."

"Who is she!"

"I don't know!"

"Yes you do! Where's your sense of justice! She's killing people! Murdering mothers! Slaughtering children! What is WRONG with you!"

Squall couldn't take it anymore. Cloud was right. He couldn't just blindly follow his aching heart. Not at the cost of the lives he swore to protect.

"I'm sorry... Yuffie."

Cloud's breath hitched. "What did you say?"

"Yuffie. It's her. I... I spoke to her a few weeks ago. I didn't expect her to kill people. I..." He stopped talking. Half his heart felt heavy for betraying his love. The other half was elated for telling the truth.

Cloud only gaped. It couldn't be true, but Squall's face was full of shame; He was telling the truth.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"... I... I don't know..." There was a small hint of pink on his cheeks.

"I don't believe it."

"Look! I told you-"

"Your blinded by love!"

"What!" He roared, but it sounded more guilty than anything.

Cloud looked on with sympathy and shook his head. "Looks like both our girls have problems."

Squall didn't bother denying it. It was to obvious. "It's all my fault. Aerith would still be fine and Yuffie would still be with us, if I hadn't kicked her out. Now she... she's a monster I created."

Cloud didn't know what to say. He was never the comforting type.

...

The shadow curled into a ball, absorbing the darkness around it. A third head manifested itself. It had green eyes. All three heads gnashed their teeth nastily. A manifistation of hatred. All it its path were destined to die.

No one was safe with this monster on the loose.
