Arrogance and Wisdom:
Corrupt and Innocent
By: Reffie Striheart
Chapter 1: The Newspaper
Reno, Rude and Elena sat at a
table in their office.
" We've got too many
jobs," Elena said.
" Well...." Reno paused.
" We can't drop any of them, because we'll look
unprofessional."
" So what do we do?"
" Isn't it obvious?"
Rude asked stoic as ever. " We need more Turks."
" So what do we do? Just put
an ad in the newspaper?" Elena asked.
Reno nodded. " Yeah. We
probably ought to write it now." Rude got a piece of paper
and they began a rough draft.

:::::Two nights later:::::
A dark shadow sat in the back of a
bar his crimson eyes taking in all that he saw and his acute ears
picking up sounds from across the bar.
Three glasses clinking together.
Drunken laughter carried like smoke on the wind. A man calling
for more drinks and a bartender calling that they didn't have
anymore liquer. Smoke floated around and hung on the ceiling.
A man walked by and turned to see
the two glowing red orbs hanging in the darkness. He sorta
slipped and the newspaper in his hand fell from his hand and onto
the table. He stuttered for a minute and then abruptly walked
away.
Vincent emerged from the darkness
to pick up the paper. He flipped through it. Kalm's baseball team
The Gold Chocobos were doing good and they had beaten the Wutai
Monsters. He looked through the 'wanted ads' and found only one
particularly intriguing.
It read:
'Wanted: Two Turks with agility.
intellegence, and battle experience. Must handel and use at least
one weapon well. If you think that you fit these qualities then
please come to the Turk headquarters in Junon, Moday at 2:00pm
sharp.'
A slight smile appeared on
Vincent's face as he sank back into the dark shadows.
Today was Sunday.

The ninja, Yuffie Kisaragi, lay in
her bed in her home in the beautiful prosperous Wutai. She stared
up at the ceiling and then sat up and looked around for something
to read. She dug around in the piles of junk in her room and came
up with today's newspaper. Yuffie shruggedand imediatly went to
the Comics section but found that they were not there. The ninja
let out a cry of frusteration and then began just reading the
paper.
She found that the Wutai Monsters
had lost to Kalm. And then she happened to look at the 'Wanted'
section and saw an ad for the Turks. A smile appeared on Yuffie's
face and she stood up and went over to the mirror.
She looked at herself in it and
saw how much she had changed in the eleven years since they
kicked Sephoroth's ass.
She had grown tall and her dark
brown hair was now down to just below her shoulders. She had
curves now and her skin was browner then ever. Her attitude had
changed a bit. She was no longer obsessed with materia since
Wutai had grown quite a bit. She still had some of her childish
ignorance and arrogance. Her eyes were the only thing that hadn't
changed. They were still a soft brown and glowed with mischief.
She wondered if Reno or Rude or
Elena would recognize her. She didn't think so.
The the ninja realized that if she
wanted the get Junon by tomorrow then she had to leave now. She
had a vague thought that maybe she should leve her dad a note or
something.
A grin spread across Yuffie's face
and she ran out the door.

:::::Monday, 2:00:::::
The Turks looked around at the
people that had showed up. There was about twenty of them. Tall,
short, fat, skinny, they were all here.
" Hey," Elena whispered.
" Valentine is here." Reno and Rude looked to where she
had briefly pointed and saw that she was right. Vincent Valentine
was indeed in the back of the crowd.
" Okay!" Reno yelled.
" We're gonna start now!" Everyone became silent.
" Hand-to-hand combat will be first where you will fight
either me, Rude or Elena."
" We will begin...."
Elena started.
" Now."
