Author's Note: Though it was only supposed to be a one-shot deal, you can
thank Crimson Heart for this chapter. Thanks go to those who reviewed! If
you liked this story, be sure to check out my other fic, Something to
believe in. It's a Yuffentine for two reasons. One, because it's my
favorite pairing. Two, because there aren't enough of those fics out
there. I hope everyone enjoys my fics!
By the way, the things between these: / . . . / are thoughts, and if they're between these: . . . they're memories. On with the story!
One-Two Punch
Yuffie crept quietly through the forest towards the source of the voices and peered through the trees to see a group of three people fighting some thorny looking tree monsters. There was a man in a navy blue colored suit, swinging a massive sword that looked like the tip had been cut off. After racking her brain for weapon names, she remembered it was called a Hardedge. He seemed to be doing a decent amount of damage to the monsters, though his hair reminded Yuffie of a chocobo.
A lovely woman in pink stood to his right, her long, soft looking brown hair wrapped neatly in what Yuffie considered to be the strangest looking twisty braid thing that she'd ever seen. This woman held a staff, and the young shinobi immediately knew her as a magic caster. Her magic was strong, though her physical attacks were weak, and her specialty seemed to be healing.
To the man's left, there stood another woman. She was also lovely with her brown hair and her shapely form. It was apparent that this one was a martial artist, and a good one at that, for she had no weapons. She decided to use her limit break on the monsters, and Yuffie watched in awe as the woman unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks on the group.
The battle ended and Yuffie was faced with a decision, to attack now, or to wait and jump them later. If she waited a while, they might be too tired to fight. Then again, they could also have plenty of time to heal themselves. If she just jumped them right now, though, she'd have the element of surprise. They wouldn't have enough time to heal either, and that woman wouldn't be able to use her limit break.
So, her mind made up, she leaped out from her cover and attacked the chocobo-haired man. He was caught totally off guard, and didn't block in time. His companions rushed to help him immediately, focusing on the ninja girl. Yuffie easily dodged the strike of the woman in pink, but was nailed by the other woman's attack and fell roughly on her butt. She leaped to her feet and used a fire item on them, grinning like a cat when it hit.
Her success was short lived however, and the blond man used his limit break against her. She cried out as she fell backwards, her vision blurring.
The next thing she knew, she was lying on the ground face up and the chocobo-headed man was looking down at her. Rage bubbled up inside her as she acknowledged the fact that she'd been defeated. She jumped to her feet and glared at him in fury. "You spiky headed jerk!" She practically exploded, "One more time! Let's go one more time!"
He didn't seem up to the challenge however, and said, "Not interested." A smile came to Yuffie's face and she decided to taunt him by punching the air towards him. "Thinking of running away? Stay and fight! Fight, I said!" When none of the members of the group took up the ready position, a question popped into her mind. "You're pretty scared of me, huh!?" She asked. The man looked at her for a few moments, then replied, "...petrified."
The young shinobi backed away and said, "Well, if you feel up to it, we can go another round. Later!" She started to leave, then turned back to yell, "I'm really gonna leave! REALLY!" All of a sudden, the man stepped forward. "Wait a second!" He said, causing Yuffie to grin evilly, then turn back around.
"What's the matter, you still got something for me? Is that it? I know you want my help 'cause I'm so good!" Yuffie stated proudly, "You want me to go with you?" The man nodded and said, "...That's right."
Yuffie turned away and pretended she had more important things to do. The truth was, she didn't feel like sitting around in the forest with the frogs and thorn monsters. Besides, if she tried, she could probably swipe their materia and make a clean getaway. "All right!" She said, "I'll go with you!"
"...Let's hurry on." The man said, and started to walk away, followed by his companions. "Hey! Wait for me! I haven't even told you my name yet! I'm Yuffie! Pleased to meetcha!" She said, then turned away from the group. Things were going her way after all. "Now all I have to do is a little of this, a little of that...nyuk, nyuk, nyuk..."
Author's Note: I'm sorry if I didn't get the last part down exactly, I was writing it from memory. Well, that's it for now. If you all think I should continue this fic, let me know. Reviews are both welcome and uplifting for me. They put me in a good mood. Thanks again to all those who review! And to all who reviewed!
