A/N I don't own the characters that Square owns just the ones I make up. I would also deeply appreciate it if you would review my work. Please just give me your honest opinion. If you think it sucks tell me, if you think it rocks tell me, if you think so-so tell me! There is nothing worse than not knowing what someone thinks is of our story.
Reno flicked a strand his blood red hair out of his eyes as he looked at the hole that used to be the Temple of the Ancients. He seemed to be drawn to this area and he couldn't figure out why. He turned to look at his companions. It still amazed him at how loyal they were to him and how loyal he was to them. They were like the family he never had. Suddenly, he felt like he had to find what he was looking for right away, like someone's life depended on it. Reno jumped down into the whole and began to search for whatever seemed to be out of place. "Reno what you looking for anyway?" Elena shouted down at the group's leader. Reno looked up at her and smiled.
"I don't know!" "What do you mean you don't know!"
"I mean what I just said! I don't know!"
Rude began to look around while the other two began to argue. He moved over to the post on the bridge. He was about to leave it when the post began to glow. As he looked closer he noticed that the whole pole wasn't glowing, but only a part that was shaped like a boulder. Rude walked away from the pole and noticed that the farther away he got the dimmer it glowed.
* Interesting. * he thought. He walked over to where Elena and Reno were arguing. "I think I've found something." "What is it?" Reno called up from the hole he was trying to climb out of. "There's a pole that keeps glowing when ever I get close to it." "Are you serious?" asked the female T.U.R.K.
"............." "I was just asking!" Elena said as she helped Reno out of the hole. "What was this about a glowing pole?" he said as he got up to his feet. Rude pointed over to the bridge post and began walk over to it. As he walked over to it the pole began to glow again. "Damn, I wouldn't have thought about a glowing pole." "Not a lot of people do that's why the Cetra made this the entrance to the Lightning trial." said a female voice from the other side of the bridge. The T.U.R.K.s turned towards the face and quickly masked their surprise as the person on the other side simply laughed. "I'm not a ghost, or an apparition. I'm alive and it's time for you three to take your places as a part of the planet's protectors.

"Vincent, where are you? I'm going to find you bat boy and make you pay for what you did to me today!" Vincent watched the young maiden pass beneath him shouting for him at the top of her lungs. He was going to let her simmer for just a while before he talked with her. It was amazing how many faces she showed the world. One minute she's an immature child, the next she would be quiet, thinking about her town and it's future. * It must have been tough for her growing up. * he thought as he lowered himself to the silently to the ground. He followed the shinobi to make sure she wouldn't get into the trouble. Yuffie found herself back at the pond where Vincent had thrown her. She thought for sure that he was going to kiss her, well more like she was going to kiss him, but he was going to let her. That hurt her more than being thrown in the lake. * It's just a crush, I have one on Reno too. It's not that important." she sighed as she sat down on a rock facing the pond. She began to watch as the sun set.
"The sunset is beautiful isn't it?" said a deep voice behind her that belonged to Vincent.
"In Wutai, they have a myth that the sunset is so beautiful because the sun is being reunited with her lover."
"You're going to return to Wutai when we're finished helping Cid with the Highwind." he stated in a flat voice.
"I don't think I am . Sometimes, I think that I do more good for Wutai away from it then when I'm there." she said in a quiet voice. Yuffie turned around and looked up at the tall man. "I just don't feel accepted there, but I love my town so much." "It's about time to go back to the camp." he said offering her his hand. Yuffie took his and stood up.
