A/N: Konnnichiwa!!!!! MINNA-SAN!!! Well…I don't have much to say really. I'm pretty tired and I'm really really sorry about how slow I am at updating. Its just that I'm really discouraged because I've been reading everybody's awesome stories and I feel that mine could be so much better but I cant seem to get it there no matter what. OK so lets see if I have anything funny to say. Well Kayla and I ran around K-Mart yesterday with sand buckets on our heads pretending to be on patrol. We just wanted to see what it would take for them to kick us out but it was actually really fun. Schools out and we are freed from our enslavement. I passed French and don't have to take it ever again. Be happy everyone! That's my idiocy for know if anyone's even reading this.
Chapter Three: A Difficult Night
School was over and Yuffie the great found herself alone. Tifa had kickboxing; she was going to spar with Cloud today. Miyuki and Miyake had to practice sword technique and karate with their brother for the upcoming festival. Lastly, Shera had a large report to type for her advanced physics class. Thus, Yuffie was alone.
"Geez, what am I supposed to do?" She kicked a rock in the street. "Everyone's busy and I can't go home yet." She sighed and sat down on the street curb, hugging her knees to her chest. "Well…maybe I'll go shopping."
Yuffie walked for about thirty minutes until she reached her destination. She headed into the enormous bookshop and walked straight to the manga section. "Man, so many mangas, so little gil! I can only get one! Kodocha, Tokyo Mew Mew, Marmalade Boy, Inuyasha, ooooor Ranma1/2. Well…I think romance today, so Marmalade Boy! Plus, Yuu's so cute!"
She skipped over to the counter and slammed down her money and book in front of the clerk. The clerk smiled and took the money. "Thank you! Have a nice day!"
Yuffie smiled back and took the manga off of the counter. "Thanks! Bye!"
As soon as she left the store she headed towards the park so she could read. The park was surrounded by weeping willows; therefore it was a nice secret like place to read. Yuffie had one particular tree that was her favorite. She pulled the vines apart and stepped inside.
The brunette sat there reading and napping for four hours. When she woke up, it was dark. Yuffie's eyes widened as she realized what that meant. Hurriedly, she grabbed her book and shoved it in her backpack, then took off in a dead sprint out of the park. She finally arrived at her house, sweating and panting. Quietly, she walked to the door and turned the knob. The door creaked open.
As the stealthy ninja tiptoed down the hall, something grabbed her arm. "Where have you been?"
An enormous shadow loomed over Yuffie.
"Dad?" She could smell the stench of alcohol radiating off of him. His grasp tightened, making Yuffie wince.
"Answer me!" he roared.
"I…I was just…r-reading and I…f-fell asleep." Yuffie never showed fear for anyone. But no matter what, she could never hide her fear of her dad.
"You took my money didn't you!? Didn't you, you little thief!?"
Godo used all his strength and threw the girl into the wall, leaving a large dent. The pain was unbelievable. Her arm felt broken and her head hurt a lot. The man who himself 'father' stood over the cowering girl.
Yuffie winced again as he spat at her. "Stupid girl!" The drunkard then began stumbling back to his favorite armchair. Quickly, the teenager stood up and ran to her room, cradling her injured arm. She locked the door and pulled out a book she had bought a long time ago from underneath her bed.
It was a survival handbook that discussed how to properly treat injuries while alone in the wild. Without it there would've been many a time when she could have been in serious trouble.
Gingerly, she climbed atop her bed, waking the sleeping dog and cat. Both, sensing she was injured, sauntered over to her. Red XIII began licking her face, while Cait Sith settled himself in her lap.
As the brown haired teen read, she rested her head in her hand. Right when her fingers came in contact with her head, she felt a thick, warm liquid.
Instantly pulling her hand back, she noticed it was blood. Yuffie moaned. Hurriedly, she finished reading up on breaks and began splinting. Luckily the bone hadn't needed to be set. That would have gotten people's attention rather quick.
After the splint was finished and satisfied her, she flipped to the index and turned to the section on concussions. Yuffie suspected she might have a concussion and decided to take the precautions, even if that wasn't the case.
The final precaution she had to take nearly brought the overly exhausted girl to tears. No sleeping for at least three hours. It was already midnight and there was school in the morning.
Yuffie let out an exasperated sigh. She was aching everywhere and she was so tired. Her mind and body screamed for sleep so that it might begin to heal. The pained and determined girl began brainstorming a way to stay awake. After about five minutes, she decided to wash her hair in the sink. After all, going to school with blood matting your hair would possibly arouse suspicions as well.

This chapter was pretty short, and I'm sorry, but it was to the point. I was reading Solar Sonata and when you read that you automatically become ashamed of what you're doing because she is just too good!! You have no idea. She describes things like no other! It's truly inhuman. And when you're writing a story and run out of things to describe people with, she can make you really jealous! : p
Well we have learned our lesson. We shall no longer ride bikes wearing shorts and going full speed. I stopped (at the bottom of a hill) and guess who didn't follow my example? ANNA!! The following noises could be described as SKAAA-REEECHHH!!!! BOOM! CRASH! FWACK!!! OWWW ANNA YOU HIT ME!!!! OW BREEANNE WHYD YOU STOP?!!!! Yeeeaaaa. See there was a police car coming and we were so completely ready to go over that cross walk without stopping and going full speed. Ok that was our near death experience story for the day.
