Leon's house was empty. It didn't look like he had put anything in it since it had been cleaned out after the raid. Yuffie stared around her at the utter emptiness of it and nearly regretted her decision.

Leon set his gunblade against the wall and went into another room. Yuffie wandered into the house, looking around. She peeked in all the rooms, looking for a good place to keep her room.

The first room she checked in on was nearly destroyed – the roof torn away and not yet replaced. She shut the door on that one and opened the next one.

The next one looked like it was once a living room or a study. There was a space on the wall for a fireplace, but no windows. She shut the door on it.

The next room was Leon's, as she discovered when she opened the door to find him pulling off his shirt.

"Hey Leon?" She asked.

"Yes?" He asked, not turning around to face her, or putting his shirt back on.

Yuffie stared at his back, criss crossed with old and new scars. She touched one of her own scars. That was the life they had had.

"Why haven't you furnished your house?" She asked.

Leon shrugged, the muscles in his back rippling. Yuffie shivered. She was glad he was on her side. "I haven't had the time." He said.

Yuffie peered around his room. It was empty too. He didn't even have a real bed – just a mat on the floor. "Hm..." She mused. "Well, I'm going to find a room." She said, and ducked out of the doorway.

The next room was a bathroom, evident only by the holes in the floor where the toilet and shower would have been. She went on to the next.

At last, she found her room. It was probably a girl's room once. The wallpaper was delicate pink and yellow flowers on a burgundy backdrop. It was ripped off the wall in several places, showing the stone underneath, but Yuffie could still imagine what it used to look like. She walked in and looked around. There, the dresser would have stood, and the bed there. Maybe a desk there, and on that wall she would have hung all her shuriken.

Yuffie shook her head, clearing away the images. She was just imagining her old room. She sat down on the floor. This was her new room.

She was about to go to sleep right there on the floor when Leon showed up at the door and threw a mat and a blanket at her.

"No pillows yet." He said and walked away.

Yuffie smiled. 'Yet' was the key word there. Oh the things they could have, the things they would fill their city with.

She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, eager for the morning.
