I'm not a Fucking Yokai, Demon, or Monster!
Well my plan fell through the next day, it appears everyone walked further than I thought and we met Yuffie before lunch. So I was keeping pace with everyone, and I realized that I really didn't like flying through forests it was crazy psychotic so I flew above it, and I got this call from Cloud, "Shiro get down here! We are being attacked by this ninja! We're in deep trouble down here!"
I sighed and finding where they were exactly tucked my wings in and angled down into the fight. Well, stupid, over-hyper, Yuffie, got in my way a good ten feet from the ground, so I had to break rapidly. In the end, I was flapping rapidly and trying to stop, and Yuffie turned around to see what it was making the noise, and then I hit her in the head with my wing. That then threw me off balance as I swung around and landed on my back harshly, Yuffie landing on top of my wing pinning it. "OW! Thank you Chicken-head, if I knew that I would wind up on my back with a ninja using my wing as a fuckin' pillow I wouldn't have come down here to help ya'll!" Cloud then picked up the unconscious ninja and dropped her on the ground as I got up and folded my wing. Oh, and did I mention that it hurt? Well it hurt, it hurt like a bitch, and it did for a while. I grimaced as I folded it and took my place in the circle to block Yuffie in. I spent the entire hilarious conversation trying not to laugh, so yeah I focused on my poor wing.
Then Yuffie came up to me, after she joined the group proper, and slapped a paper purification spell on my forehead and started to yell, "Yokai be gone from the realm of light!"
I looked at her, growled and then ripping the piece of paper off my head yelled at her while giving her the middle finger, "Stop with all the goddamn chanting! I'm not a fucking yokai, demon, or monster! I was a test subject for those bastards at Shin-Ra! So shut your bitchin' mouth and leave me the fuck alone!" I walked ahead of her and went to take off, but wound up freezing in pain. Yuffie managed to bruise both sides of the skin and the muscles on the titanium-plated bone; it hurt, it hurt a lot. I then muttered, while reaching into my bag, "Where's my damn restore materia?" Needless to say everyone was looking at me, probably because they never once pinned me as a heavy curser -oh wait until they met Cid-, I finally found the blasted sphere and cast a cure spell. I was immensely relieved when my pain was gone and I could stretch it out without pain, then with a few experimental flaps I jumped into the air.
I got away from all questions until later that night, when we camped. It surprised me that Yuffie immediately sat next to me around the fire, then even more when she quietly said, "I'm sorry for the incident earlier."
I drew back for a moment making sure I understood her, and then replied, "Apology accepted, though I have to say that incident was mostly my fault."
"Yeah, everyone told me about how you're kinda sensitive about your wings." Yuffie said staring at her food.
I stuck out my hand to her and said with a smile on my face, "Well let's start over. I'm Shiro Kuromadoshi, former test subject of Shin-Ra, and only sixteen years old."
Yuffie smiled, "Yufie Kisaragi, a ninja from Wutai, also only sixteen years old." She then shook my hand.
I faked surprise to Yuffie, just to seem normal considering my storming off earlier, "Cool! I don't think that you'd teach me any secret jiujutsu?"
That then began the period of time everyone in our group started to refer to as the sixteen year old reign of terror. We used our skills in torturing others, only with some discretion. Nanaki also weirdly seemed more pleasant with me having a friend my age to where we were often talking to each other. So we were all progressing pretty well for two days, with me not flying a few hundred feet overhead but a few feet.
