You opened your eyes, blinking them open. I'm back at 7th heaven? How long was I sleeping? You got up. I wonder where everyone is? You walked out of the room and went downstairs. "Hello, is anyone here?" You called out.
"You're finaly up." You turned around to see Tifa. "I was wondering when you would wake up. You were starting to worry me"
"Oh, sorry. How long was I asleep"
"Since you came back. You were out like a light then, for three days, and anonther two have past, so a total of 5 days"
5 days! "Where is Rikku and Ivy? Are they up too"
"Yes, Ivy woke up yesterday, and her and Sora are looking in Midgar for something. Rikku is somewhere around"
"YUNA!!" Rikku flew at you, nearly knocking you off your feet. She hugged you, smileing up at you. "You're awake!" You smiled down at her. "Yes I am. How have you been"
She made a face. "Awful. Yuna, don't ever leave me alone here again! I don't like these people"
"All right, I won't"
"Promise"
"Promise"
The door opened behind you and Cloud stepped in. "You awak." He said with a smile.
You turned around and smiled at him. "Yep, I'm finally up"
"Thats good. I don't think Tifa can take another day with Rikku." He smiled down at you.
You frowned. "She she wasn't too much trouble, was she?" You glanced down at Rikku behind you. She shook her head.
"No, but she is... full of energy." Tifa spoke up.
"You were?" You asked Rikku.
"Maybe a little." She gave you a sheepish smile.
You looked back up at Cloud. "Where is everyone"
"Barret is spending time with Marlene, cid is doing some repairs on the Highwind, Red and Cait are around the city, Yuffie is someone around here, and I don't know where Vincent is." Cloud answered.
"And"
Cloud frowned. "Wheres Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo"
"Um, Yuna," You turned to look at Tifa. "After you all arived, we all sorta got into a fight, about how to keep you from Sephiroth. They thought you should go with them, but we thought you should stay here. In the end, we won the fight and Kada's gang left." Tifa told you. Wh-What!? Seeing the expression on your face, she quickly said, "We thought it was the best thing to do. If you were awake we would of asked you but"
"Its ok Tifa, I understand. You only wanted to keep us safe. I apreciate it. But however..." You glanced down at Rikku's and your clothes. "Being Kbuvydit Uxid, we kind of... really stand out. In more ways then one"
"Well then, we'll just have to fix a few things." Yuffie came into the room. "You know, new clothes, ear surgery... just kidding.., maybe a hat, and you'll look totally different"
"I'm not sure about that..." You said, takeing a step back.
"Oh, come on! It'll be fun! Right Tifa"
"Yeah..." Tifa slowly circled you. "Who knows, alittle makeup, something covering the ears, a new outfit"
"And Sephiroth himself wouldn't be able to reconize you!" Yuffie finished with a grin.
I don't like the sounds of that. "Um... hold on a minute, I don't stand out that much"
"Yuna, you have long pointy ears, have bright blue hair, wear really colourful clothing, its design nobody in the Edge has ever seen, and walk around bare footed." Yuffie said.
If you say it like that... "I won't subject myself to your tortures." You folded your arms across your chest. What is with that look in their eyes
"Yuna, come on!" Yuffie whinned.
"No"
She sighed. "I'll hate to do this, but"
"Get her!" Tifa yelled.
You took off running, but Cloud lunged at You, grabing you from around the waist. "Come on Yuna, don't you want a new look?" He said teasingly.
"I'm perfectly happy with the one I have right now." You said struggling to get away.
Tifa and Yuffie grabbed your arms, and began dragging you off. "Don't worry, you'll love your new look." Tifa says. "We know what we're doing"
"Thats what I'm afraid of"
"Ooh, this is going to be so much fun!" Yuffie said.
Kadaj's POV:
"When is he going to get out of that slump?" Yazoo said behind you. Normally, you would clober them for talking about you behind you're back, but you didn't care anymore.
"If hes like this for much longer, I vote we turn around and kidnap Yuna for him." Loz whispered.
Yuna... do I really hurt you every time you're with me?
Flashback
"Yuna is perfectly fine with me!" You snarled at Cloud.
"Oh, really? Then how come everytime shes with you or your brothers, she ends up getting hurt!?" Cloud yelled back at you.
End Flashback
Yuna... "If you miss her that much, go back and visit her. Just because she can't travel with us doesn't mean she can't be around us"
"Everytime I see her, I get her into trouble." You mundled sadly.
"Don't listen to what Cloud says, he doesn't know anything." Loz said. "Go and visit Lady Love. Cause if you don't I might just end up murdering you because of your attitude."
Your POV:
"Well, what do you think?" Tifa asked.
You admired your new outfit. "I like it, but don't you think"
"Of course not! If anything, it makes you look good!" Yuffie laughed. "You'll get any boy you want in that outfit"
Kadaj... You smiled to yourself. "And whats this? A secert smile? So there is someone." Tifa said slyly.
"Who? WHO!?" Yuffie asked.
"You'll laugh." You said.
"Come on, tell! We won't tell anyone." Yuffie proded.
"Well"
"Come on, lets see this 'New Yuna'!" Cid banged on the door.
"Ok! Tell me later!" Tifa added in a whisper before heading out.
"We'll make them go downstairs, so you can make your grand entrance. Tell us about him later!" Yuffie raced out of the room, giggling.
You waited a moment, then headed after them. You stood at the top of the stairs, and waited for your cue.
"Come on, what did you do to her?" Rikku asked from the bottom of the stairs.
"Alright! Everyone..." Yuffie began.
"We present to you, the new Yuna!" Tifa finished.
You took abreath and began walking down. Everyone was murmering about something, and then you appeared.
You were met with silence. Your heart dropped. You... don't like it?" You asked.
Everyone then regained their voice. Suddenly you were surronded with shouts of, 'Are you kidding?' 'You look amazing!' and 'Beautiful!'. Cloud just stood there, with a strange smile on his face. You blushed slightly. "Do you really think it looks ok"
"You look FANTASTIC!!" Everyone yelled at the same time.
This is your new outfit. Only it doesn't have the writting on the top, and the ribbon wrapped around your arm is pink. And you don't have the guns. "Well, thank you." You said.
"We're back!" Sora yelled. He came in, followed by Ivy. He stopped dead in his tracks. "What... are you wearing"
"This is my new 'look'. Do you like it?" You asked, doing a spin, a smile on your face.
"You look like a dwac!" He yelled. You face fell. " Do you have no shame?! You're a walking advertisement for a whore adentcy! Your ancesters are rolling in their graves as we speak! Are you asking for Sephiroth to come and rape you!?" He shouted.
A knife was driven into your heart. "Sorry..." You mumbled, looking at the ground.
"You should be-OW"
Ivy hit him over the head. "Idiot! Don't worry Yuna, I think you look great"
You nodded slowly. "I'm just going to get some... fresh air." You muttered, then took off out the door.
"Yuna, wait!" Ivy shouted after you, but you paid no attention to her. You ran past the street limits and into Midgar, into the old church. The flowers were gone now, but a pool of water was there instead. You sat down by it and started crying. I don't want that to happen! I'm not asking for it
"Yuna?" You turned around to see Cloud. "Hey there, are you alright"
"I'm a dwac, a disgrace to my people." You stared at your reflection, then slamed your hand into it, desterbing the water. "I wish I never let them give me a make over!" You shouted, standing up.
"Hey, you're not a disgrace." Cloud caught you by your shoulders. "Just because you happen to get a new outfit, and look good in it, doesn't mean your any different from the amazing girl you are. Hes probally jealous because he can't look half as beautiful as you are." You let out a small laugh and smiled a bit. "Ah, she smiles." Cloud wiped away a tear on your cheek. "Come on, lets head back. The others are probally worried. I don't think Sora can take much more of Ivy's and Rikku's laugh either." You laughed openly at that. Cloud wrapped an arm around your shoulders, and the two of you turned around.
The doors burst opened and Reno, Rude, and another guy you didn't reconize walked in. "How come I had I feeling we'ld find you here Cloud?" He said.
"What do you want?" Cloud glared at him, slipping his arm from your shoulders to protectively in front of you.
"Cloud, whos he?" You asked.
The guy's gaze flicked your way. "Ah, so this is the 'Yuna we have heard so much about. My name is Tseng, and you have already met Reno and Rude." He took a step towards you.
"What do you want?" Cloud stepped in front of you.
"I have a job to do Cloud, concerning the 'Promised' Project. That, and keeping Sephiroth at bay." Tseng said evenly. "The girl behind you is imprtant to this project, and my employer wishes for her to 'visit' us for a while"
"Meaning"
"If you don't step a side Cloud, we'll take her by force"
"And what makes you think I'll let you?" You spoke up. "As far as I know, you work for Shin-ra. Like I'll ever go back there!" You spoke up.
"I guess you don't leave us with any choice." Tseng took out a gun. "We'll take her by force"
"Cloud, let me handle this." You whispered.
"Are you sure?" He looked worried.
"Yes, this is my fault." You squeezed his shoulder for reinsurence and stepped out in front of him, heading towards the Turks.
"You've decided to come with us willingly?" Tseng lowered his gun and raised an eyebrow.
"I wouldn't be so sure on that. Stay away from her hands, she does some freaky magic trick." Reno backed away slowly.
"Its magik, not magic." You said. You called up a wall of energy, then sent it at them. The little group went flying, and you flew at them.
Tseng was the first to recover, but you hit him in the stomach with your palm, and at the base of his neck with two fingers, sending him flying into a wall. You hit Reno in the back and he hit the floor, limp. Rude ran at you, but you slammed your fist into his stomach, sending him flying, hitting Tseng. "That was too easy." You said out loud.
"Freeze!" You turned around, seeing a blonde woman with a gun.
"Who are you?" You asked.
"Shes Elena." Cloud came out of the church. "Wow, you can take care of yourself"
"Thanks!" You smiled at him.
"I said freeze!" She yelled.
You ran at her, before she could fire, you sent the gun flying, and you slammed the palm of your hand into the top of her chest. She let out a strangled cry, and you kicked her into a wall.
That was way to easy. You started to turn around to where Cloud was. Then everything went black.
