Chapter 1: Enter Wutai: The Band of Daring Thieves…
It was very early in the morning and no one in the Kisaragi household had woken yet. In a small room at the end of the hall, three forms slept. On the floor, next to the bed lay a large wolf-like dog with red fur.
As the clock on the wall hit 5:30, the dog opened one gleaming golden eye and jumped onto the bed with ease. As the dog tried to find the girl in the tangled mass of sheets, a cat popped out of the creak in the door and stared at the dog. The dog growled quietly, causing the lump under the blankets to stir.
"Harumf fmglk," came the muffled reply. Soon after, a head protruded from the tangled mess, followed by a hand. The dog looked at the girl happily and licked her face.
"Heehee. Love you too Red. Thanks for waking me up," Yuffie whispered petting his fur and kissing him on the nose. She then untangled herself from the covers and walked over to her closet.
Quickly and quietly, Yuffie pulled on a black hoodie with hot pink flowers decorating it, then slipped into her favorite pair of camouflage pants. Red XIII walked over next to the brown haired girl holding her hairbrush in his mouth and dropped it at her feet. Yuffie bent down and dried the handle off with a towel she had handy and began brushing her short hair. With that done, she quietly snuck towards the door and pulled on combat boots. "There," she whispered, "mission complete."
She opened the door and headed out into the brightening morning. Yuffie walked for about fifteen minutes before she saw the Donut Shop. Her stomach grumbled as she sprinted faster than the eye could see towards the defenseless shop. She swung the door of the little shop open with such force the bell above the door fell off, narrowly missing her head. The shopkeeper looked up and slapped his hand to his forehead. "That's the fifth time this week! Maybe I shouldn't use a bell."
Yuffie smiled. She knew the bell would be back in place tomorrow, ready for another day. "So Yuf, what'll it be? The usual? Gwahaha!" the large donut keeper asked.
"Righty-o Mr. Heidegger! You know me all too well!" Yuffie said while bouncing up and down.
A voice from behind Yuffie spoke, "I don't think she needs any coffee today though."
Yuffie turned around, coming face to face with her best friend. "Tifa!" the short girl yelled in surprise.
"Yuffie!" Tifa yelled back, mimicking her.
"Hey! Are you making fun of me?" Yuffie asked pouting.
Tifa handed Yuffie her bag of donuts. "No. Of course not."
"Alright then. That's what I thought. Now, where shall we eat?"
"Well, actually, I told the twins to meet us here with the new recruit." The longhaired brunette said.
Yuffie pondered for a while. "New recruit? OH!! You mean Shera! That's right! Today's her initiation to join Wutai!"
No sooner then Yuffie finished her sentence, two identical girls with silver hair and emerald green eyes walked through the door, dragging a girl with long chestnut hair behind them. She was still in her hippopotamus pajamas, and more than half asleep. "We got her!" the twins said in unison.
"It took awhile…" the twin on the left commented.
"…but we finally broke in!" the other finished.
Yuffie and Tifa stared at the two wide-eyed. Tifa took a deep breath and gave the two 'the look'. "Miyuki…Miyake…please tell me you didn't break into Shera's house."
Miyuki started, "We didn't break anything…"
"…but we did break in." Miyake finished.
Yuffie shook her head and took a bite of her chocolate long john. "You two are hopeless," she said through a mouthful of donut. "Now, Shera," Shera looked up, "are you prepared to become a member of Wutai and uphold our reputation as sweeties, meanies, and fighting machineys?!"
Shera raised an eyebrow, "I am…?" The Wutai nodded.
"Are you prepared to take on any challenge thrown at you by joining Wutai?"
Shera nodded, "I am."
"Last and most importantly, as a member of Wutai, you WILL watch out for other in Wutai just as we will look out for you." It wasn't really a question, but Shera answered anyway.
"I am!" she yelled loudly and proudly.
Miyuki and Miyake got on either side of Shera. "Well then, welcome to Wutai!" With that said, Tifa cheered and Yuffie smiled. The twins then gave Shera the double whammy hip bust, followed by a victory dance. Shera clutched her sides in pain, but smiled despite it.
Yuffie straightened up and put on her serious face. "Now it's time for the rules. Rule number one: We," she made a gesture at all of them, "are family. And family comes first. We go everywhere together and do everything together. Rule number two: We don't' take crap from anybody. This includes teachers. Rule number three: We rock! Everyone should fear us and love us at the same time. Rule number four: We are all powerful beings, so all Wutai must have a fighting style. We'll be at Miyuki and Miyake's house tomorrow to begin your training. And lastly, rule number five: All Wutai may only sign in the Wutai section of the slapping stick." Miyuki and Miyake grinned. Their names covered almost every inch of that stick, they had to make the Wutai section bigger five times now!
"Well um, thanks!" Shera smiled shyly. "So now what?" Everyone stared at each other.
"We…um…walk!! Now we grab our backpacks and march to school!" Yuffie yelled in a dramatic tone. She then reached down for her backpack only to realize she never grabbed it. "Well there's no way I'm going back for it. Dad will be awake by now."
The other Wutai looked at each other and dropped their backpacks and kicked them into the corner of the small donut shop. Shera followed their example hesitantly.
Tifa looked over at Shera. "We do everything together. So then, shall we be off?"
"Ya!" everyone yelled simultaneously, and with that, they headed out the door. When they finally got to school, they had thirty seconds to get to class. Shera was finally waking up and suddenly realized she was still in her PJs. Everyone told her it was part of her initiation.
The bell rang as they were walking down the hall. "Oh no! I've never been late before!" Shera exclaimed.
"Don't worry! We're not late yet…" the twins said winking, before running through the hall towards class.
Yuffie and Tifa grabbed a hold of Shera's arms. "Come on! Or do you want to be late?" Yuffie asked running after the twins with Shera in tow. Shera began to wonder about their sanity. Hadn't they heard the bell ring?
Tifa turned to her, panting, "See…they're…going to…distract…him, while we…sneak in."
They stood outside the door for no more than five seconds when they heard. "Hiya! Take that!" then 'boom!' followed by a 'bang!'. They opened the door and snuck to their desks while everyone's eyes were fixed on the insane girls kung-fuing the crud out of each other.
As the trio sat down, Miyake and Miyuki suddenly stopped fighting. Miyake got off her sister's back and helped her up. They bowed to each other and took their seats.
The teacher stared at them in confusion. Why did their fight end so abruptly? Stupid kids always causing trouble. "Hey! You two troublemakers! To the office with ya now!" the two green-eyed girls hopped out of their seats and headed off down the hall.
"All right. Role call! Well we know the Kurainos are here. Rufus?"
"Right here."
"Scarlet?"
"Here."
"Reno?"
"Here."
"Tseng, Elena, Rude. Looks like your gang's all here."
"Yuffie?"
Yuffie smiled. "Here!" she said with tremendous energy.
"Tifa?"
"What's up Barret?" Tifa smiled.
"Tifa, I'm a teacher now! You have to start calling me Mr. Wallace!" he yelled waving his arms around in such a fashion that made him resemble a windmill.
"Alright Mr. Barret, calm down. Breath in, breath out."
"It's Mr. Wallace!" he screamed. After 'Mr. Barret' got his temper under control, he turned to Shera. "And Shera is here. Well, O bold one, where did you find that outfit?" Shera's face turned bright red.
Yuffie looked up, "Haven't you heard Mr. Wallace? It's the coolest new fashion."
"I see…anyway let's get started. Today we will be learning about the first Midgar war. Now it began in…" Yuffie put her head on her desk and drifted off to sleep. Shera looked around and studied the room.
Midgar high school had two gangs that dominated the school. The group that most people avoided was the Turks. That was the group of kids with the richest and most well known families in Midgar. They did everything they wanted and got everything they wanted. The only ones who openly opposed the Turks were the Wutai.
Those in Wutai were somewhat seen as outcasts. They all had their own problems, and dealt with them together. They were always there for each other and all played their part. Yuffie was the leader, the outgoing one. Tifa was second in command, tough and sweet. Miyuki and Miyake, dangerous, insane and psychotic. And lastly Shera. The new recruit. Quiet and persuaded easily. (They hoped to change that.)
Shera looked at the chair where she used to sit. With her admittance into Wutai, she now sat with them in the back of the room. She noticed that everyone seemed to stare at her with a new respect.
Suddenly, she felt something hit her in the back of the head, then she heard it fall onto the floor. She reached down and picked up the note that had fallen down next to Yuffie's foot. She read it.
Hey Shera!
How's life goin'? This class is soooo boring don't ya think? Anyway, sit with us at lunch today by the oak tree. You can bring Cid too if you want. It will be Yuffie, me, Cloud, Miyuki and Miyake (if the principal hasn't suspended them) and you. Then after school we'll all walk home. I guess that's all!
*Tifa
Shera folded the note and stuck it in her pocket.
Meanwhile Yuffie was having a dream.
The sun was shining and bunnies and platypie were playing together in a field. The short brunette was lying in the cool pink grass looking up at the sky. Suddenly the sky turned red and she lay in a battlefield instead of her safe field. She got up and looked around. A tall dark man stood in front of her. The dark man's hand shot out and grabbed Yuffie's throat. Yuffie struggled with all her might, but it seemed no amount of strength would make this man release his grip. He then let out an awful laugh and dropped the teen from what seemed a great height. She lay there, staring up at him as he lifted his foot to kick her.
There was nothing she could do. She closed her eyes and waited for her doom. But it never came. She was flying! No…she couldn't really be flying could she? She looked up to see a man's face, hidden by a scarf and a cloak. He was cradling her in his arms, taking her away from that awful place. They landed in an open field where all the baby animals slept. She turned to her rescuer and smiled. "Thank you for saving me. My name is Yuffie. What's yours?"
The man with the maroon cloak turned to her and spoke. "Wake up!"
Yuffie cocked her head to one side. "That's strange. I'm sorry…are you a girl? Your voice sounds a lot like Tifa's." Yuffie then felt a small pain in the back of her head, causing her to wake up. She was face to face with Tifa and realized then that Shera had flicked her in the back of the head.
"Dang it you guys! I was just about to figure out my hero's name! And he was probably soooo hot!"
Tifa rolled her eyes. "Well the bell rang about a minute ago. We need to get to music since we don't have Miyuki and Miyake to distract Mr. Tikitiki."
"That's right. Well let's go!" Thus they headed off towards music.
Halfway to class, Yuffie was knocked down by something that had been hurtling down the hallway. Tifa had been knocked down as well. When Yuffie's vision had cleared, she noticed that the speeding objects had been Miyake and Miyuki. Shera giggled a little while Yuffie dusted herself off and Tifa tried to regain her breath.
"So, I'm guessing that you guys…aren't suspended…"
"Well they've already tried that…"
"…so it was corporal punishment for us!" the twins said, both saluting on 'corporal'. "We signed the slapping stick again! Power to the twins! Mwahahahaha! Heehee!" the two insane girls continued to laugh, clearing the halls of the scared students. Yuffie cleared her throat causing the silver haired teens to stop abruptly.
"Well, since Wutai has regrouped, let us be off! TO MUSIC!"
"To music!" the others echoed. They then linked arms and skipped off to music. The five girls sat down just as the bell rang.
Mr. Tikitiki took his place on the podium and led the class in warm-ups.
While everyone was busy singing scales, Tifa was busy shooting spit wads through a straw at Scarlet. Scarlet, being the oblivious blonde she was, didn't notice and continued applying her makeup. The twins were teaching Shera how to make a spit wad while Yuffie was busy sticking her gum in Reno's hair.
As warm-ups ended, Mr. Tikitiki handed out their music. "This piece is called 'One Winged Angel' and is perfect for a group our size. It's in Latin so get the pronunciations down! Now, lets start practicing!" Once the music started, everybody in Wutai's eyes widened. All together they screamed, "Sephie's theme!" They threw down the sheet music and recited the song from memory.
Estauns Interius
Ira Vehementi
Estauns Interius
Ira Vehementi
Sephiroth!
Sephiroth!
Shera looked between the four confusedly. "Oh sorry Shera! Let me fill you in! Miyuki and Miyake have an older brother named Sephiroth. Sooo they call this song his theme song. See?" Yuffie explained. Shera nodded even though she wasn't sure she did.
*Lunch*
After math ended, they were all practically asleep, but the wonderful (or rather horrendous) smell of school lunch will wake anyone up. The Wutai girls sat beneath the oak that had their names engraved upon its trunk, where 'their men' awaited their coming. Tifa sat next to a blond haired boy with amazing green eyes. He was a year older than her and had been dating her a year. His name was Cloud Strife.
Another boy with spiked blond hair sat next to the chestnut haired girl. His name was Cid Highwind and his favorite activity was teasing Shera. Of course he loved her, but being a boy he had to make sure no one picked up on it, so he picked on her.
Miyuki and Miyake were having an arm wrestling contest with two obsidian haired identical twin boys. Their names were Yuki and Yue. Yuki was going out with Miyuki, while Yue was going out with Miyake. This only complicated matters for those who tried to tell them apart by their boyfriends.
Yuffie sat with no 'man' but conversed hyperactively nonetheless. "Guess what everyone? I just bought some really really awesome throwing stars off of Ebay! They have these pretty stars decorating them! I've almost got this ninja bit down!" she squealed.
Shera looked at her strangely. She had always heard that Yuffie didn't have much money and before she could stop herself, she asked, "Where'd you get the money?" Everyone stared at her. "Well, I mean…uh um, it just seems like it would be expensive, ya know?"
Nothing could spoil Yuffie's happiness so she spilled. "Well you know today in music when I put gum in Reno's hair and you guys pummeled the other Turks with spit wads? Well, while they were busy de-gumming and what not, I managed to do a little pick-pocketing and stole Reno's gold watch, Scarlet's choker, and Elena's diamond ring!" she said in a sing-song voice. "After that, I went down to the library and bought my chibi-hoshis! The End!" she bowed.
Everyone clapped. "So they should be here to buy their precious belongings back any second." At that moment, Rufus came lumbering over with the Turk posse. Yuffie snickered. "Hey everyone! What's up? Ohhh Reno. What's the sour face about?"
Reno growled and lunged forward at her. Elena and Scarlet each grabbed an arm, which did little good and they all went down together. The red-haired boy immediately popped back up and snarled, "You got gum in my hair you little ninja! Do you know how long it took me to grow out this beautiful hair?! We spent three hours trying to get your watermelon gum out and we're still not done!" he turned around to show them the back of his head.
Everyone raised an eyebrow. Cloud looked at Tifa. "Why does he know what flavor it was?" Tifa snickered and shrugged.
Reno continued, "To make matters worse you steal my father's watch!"
The self-proclaimed ninja's eyes widened. "Your…father's…watch? Well this is even better than I thought! I'll give it back to you for 1,570…no wait…1,574 gil!
Reno knew he didn't have a choice and pulled out his bulging wallet out of nowhere. "Well, aren't we precise? Come up with that number out of nowhere?"
The shorthaired brunette gave him a long and hard look. "No Reno, it actually is a real number. But I don't suppose you can count that high. Oh, and by the way, Scarlet and Elena. Do you two by any chance recognize these?" she smiled mischievously and held up the jeweled choker and ring.
The blond duo gasped and covered their mouths. Scarlet screamed, her face turning red with fury. "You little bitch!" Scarlet threw a punch at Yuffie's head which she blocked with her foot ending up in Scarlet's face.
"Alright Scarlet. That will be 2,030 gil exactly. Don't get so upset next time and it won't be so much. You let your guard down, it's your own fault. Elena, this should he about 3,000 or so, but just to smite Scarlet and Reno, I need 990 gil from you.
"Now blondie," she looked back at Scarlet, "I'm not removing my foot from your face 'til you pay up." The two handed her the money and they all left sulking.
Before she was completely out of sight Scarlet turned back to Wutai and cursed. "I'll get you Yuffie Kisaragi. Just you wait…until tomorrow, yeah tomorrow sounds good…" Everyone who had witnessed the scene broke into applause and cheered. The brown haired thief took a couple bows and finished her lunch.
'Another uneventful day in Wutai' the gang leader thought to herself smiling.
************
Hey soo I don't know if this was any good or not. How about this? I'm gonna tell a story!! Yay!! Yesterday at play practice…I found my "katana". It was hiding in the couch. Anna seems to think it's just a steel bar but I know better than that. Anyway Anna and Sarah tried to TAKE it from me!!! Can you believe them?!!! They should have been supporting me against the sane people. Sooo Anna grabbed one end while Sarah had the other while I hung on for dear life in the middle. Sometimes upside down sometimes sitting on top. Anna dropped her end first sooooo I struggled for power with Sarah, won and did my victory run with my katana over my head before handing to Sarah, who I THOUGHT would carry out my legacy and keep it from Anna who had my arms behind my back. I was wrong it seems. Then Sarah grabbed my arms and Anna grabbed my feet and they TRIED to carry me UP the stairs!!! Can you believe them? "oh woops I let go of her hands. Anna? It looks like she's sliding quite a bit down the stairs now…but you still got her feet so she'll stop eventually. What? You don't? hmmm." That's what they would've said if they managed to get me up the stairs….
Okay B-chan, now you're just adding things in. ^_^ Read and Review!
