I woke up, gasping, feeling the cold sweat drip down my forehead. I looked up to Yuffie's face, and saw it contort into a painful expression. I wanted to comfort her, yet I didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep.

'Wonder what time it is...?' I mused and looked to the clock, to find it was 1:37 AM... 'Yuffie..' I thought as her figure turned towards me. 'I'm causing you pain... So what if I left?' I asked my self. Her face then looked angry. I chuckled in my mind, and thought 'it's almost as if you can read my thoughts. '

'I think... I think I will leave.' I got up, and walked to my room, the many doors and corridors passing by me as I walked.

I finally got to my room, and found a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote my letter to Yuffie, then Leon, then Cid. Aeris didn't deserve it.

At around two, I had gathered food, clothes, and a flask of water. I had also dropped off the letters to their rightful recipient. When I only had Yuffie's left to do, I opened the doors with shaking hands.

"Cloud-San..." I heard a groggy voice call to me. "Cloud, what are you doing coming in my room in the middle of the night?" The voice asked.

"Go back to bed, Yuffie." Said to her, and put the note down on her desk next to her bed. "What are you doing up anyway, you need rest!" I said to her, and opened her door again.

"Your leaving me again... Aren't you?" She spoke quietly, and sat on her bed.

"What.. What do you mean again?" I asked turning. "This is the only time I'm leaving." I instantly covered my mouth.

"... In Wutai... After you dropped me off... You remember? You said Bye, and just left... Without saying another word. I cried for a while..." She whispered, and looked down to her hands.

"And then... When our.. When our new home got infested with the heartless... I called you... I called out to you... Hoping... hoping my Nii-San would come and save me!" She cried. "And now! A year after, when where all together again... YOU JUST WANT TO LEAVE?!" She cried. Her tears came down her face, and I felt a ping of sorrow.

"Yuffie! Don't make this hard on me anymore then it already is..." I said calmly, my cool facade going to work, when I knew deep inside I was crying, trying to tell her it's ok, that I'm so sorry. "And besides," I started, turning my back to her. "You love Leon... Don't waste your tears on me." I said as coldly as possible, and went out the door.

I heard crying behind me, but kept going. I went to the docking bored, and boarded my Gummi ship.

Good-bye Yuffie... Live a happy life with Leon...
