Author's note: >_< I think I didn't even develop my character well ... *sniff* I promise to try to do it in this chapter! >_< p> Chapter 5: PHS Green eyes ... Green, mako eyes constantly stared at her as he released some powerful magic at her. She tried to dodge the attack but found out that she couldn't move her limbs. Dammit! Gawd, not at a time like this! Oh great, I'm gonna die ... I'm gonna die; how pathetic. She tried to move again as a set of blue fireballs were fast approaching. Please ... I can't die yet ... I haven't told him yet. Yuffie suddenly sat up from her makeshift bed as a surprised Vincent shot up from his leaning position. "Gawd! What type of dream was that!!!!" Yuffie hollered, not noticing Vincent staring at him nor Cid panting at the doorway, surprised. Cid glared at Yuffie. "@#!&%@!$$!#$@!!!! What wast that all about?!" Yuffie looked around. "..." "We're @#$%in' here! Better leave now and damn leave me alone for a couple o' months!" Yuffie groaned and glared at Cid. "Nothing, Cid ..." Cid quirked his eyebrow and said, "Ya ... I fuckin' believe you ... oh, and were near Wutai so pack up!" Cid then walked back towards the bridge. Yuffie's eyes widened ... were near Wutai!!! She then grabbed her backpack and her weapon, Conformer, grinning. She then looked around to see if she missed anything and met crimson eyes. Her eyes widened as she remembered that she had no idea on where Vincent would stay. She glanced at Vincent with a questioning look. " Gawd ... I almost forgot! Vinny, where are you gonna go then?" Vincent thought for a moment. "..." Cid waited for his reply and noticed that his cigarette was becoming rather short. He grabbed another cigarette from his pocket and lighted it. "C'mon! Dammit! What is it gonna be?" Vincent then cleared his throat and said, "Nibelheim." "@#$%@%*&#$@%!!!!!" Cid cursed and walked towards the bridge, continuously cursing. Vincent shrugged and looked at Yuffie who still looked confused. "Vinny, are you gonna lock yourself up again in that stupid coffin of yours...? I thought-" Yuffie paused as she saw Vincent give her a reassuring smile. " ... I thought of something worse than that." He then chuckled almost quietly. "I'm going to live in the old mansion ... " Yuffie smiled and laughed. "Gawd! I thought ... That old pile of wood? That's gonna be a real hell to fix and stuff!" "I am well aware of that ... Yuffie, are you planning to leave soon because we're here." Yuffie froze. "Gawd! I totally forgot!" With that, she ran out of the Highwind and waved at Vincent who was watching her from the window. "BYE, VINNY! UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!!" She then turned around and ran towards Wutai. Vincent watched her leave and turn smaller and smaller until she was gone. "Goodbye ... until next time ..."
Yuffie stopped sprinting and watched Highwind, a small speck in the sky, disappearing. The sunset greeted her from far west and the scent of flowers, dust and food grew stronger. She used the dirt path that wove around Wutai to get to her own house. She sighed, she missed Wutai, even if she hardly admitted it. She missed the road she was walking in, how the sun's light would shine through Da Chao, the smell of sakura blossoms, the humid, summer heat that wasn't present in Nibelheim. As she saw the familiar shape of her porch, she was surprised to see Shake and Chekov, accompanied by a figure behind them. She peered closer and noticed that it was her father. Grinning, she ran towards them and noticed that they were smiling. Chekov was crying silently and Shake ran towards Yuffie and ruffled her hair playfully. Godo silently walked forward and sprinted towards Yuffie. Yuffie then ran towards her father and hugged him. "Yuffie, it has been how many months since I've last seen you. Were have you been?" Godo inquired in a serious tone. Yuffie sighed. "I saved the world! Gawd! C'mon you guys! Aren't you at least happy to see me?" Godo gave a small smile and sighed. "Yes, I am happy to see you but I am also worried. I am your father, aren't I?" Yuffie grinned. "Ya, you are." I never expected it to be this way ... but this is a lot better than I expected. Yuffie knew how strict her father was and she knew she had disappointed him a lot for the past years. She was quite amazed by how her father had stuck with her as much as he could for the past years. Yuffie gave a big hug to her father who seemed surprised by the rare show affection and hugged her back.
A month later ... "I'm just going to the restaurant! I'll be back." Yuffie shouted towards Godo as she sprinted towards the local restaurant to get some occasional treat. ~ ring ring ring "Huh?" Yuffie slowly went to a stop and looked at her pocket. It was her PHS ringing. She then pressed a button to answer it. "Hey Yuff!" Yuffie grinned, it was Cloud.
