Hola! Once more I am writing! Two chapters in one day. Oh yeah! Look at me! I'm cool! Er, sorry. This is a SHORTer chapter though because I'm tired of typing. Anyway, this chapter is just about Yuffie.

-------------------------------------------------*-------------------------- -------------------------------

Yuffie sat with her head on her knees on the bed. She watched silently as Aerith paced back and forth and Cid leaned against a wall. She and Aerith had come over to Cid's house where she had told both of them the news. The news about Leon disappearing.

"Oh, where could he be?" Aerith worried, and continued pacing.

"Anywhere." Cid said. He knew about all the worlds out there. Leon could be at any one of them.

Yuffie let her gaze drop back down to the bed. Usually she wouldn't let things like this get to her, but she really was worried about Leon. And not only because some strange liquid of darkness had carried him off somewhere, either.

Yuffie had noticed that Leon had become depressed lately. She seemed to be the only one who noticed because she spent a lot of time around Leon. But lately he had looked depressed. He was daydreaming a lot, and seemed to be reflecting on memories. Yuffie knew Leon was a mysterious guy and hard to figure out, but she didn't think that Leon normally acted like this. He almost never noticed Yuffie lately. She didn't like seeing him like that.

She could remember perfectly how Leon had disappeared. She was so sorry. How could she not be able to do anything to help? She had just let her best friend get carried off like that. The reason she had run to Leon was to warn him of the darkness, but she had been to slow. She had also been to slow when Leon was sinking down. If only she had gone faster . . . But no, she couldn't save him. She beat herself up mentally for that.

"Come on kid. Cheer up, its not your fault." Cid seemed to know what Yuffie had been thinking. But Yuffie disagreed with him.

A series of noises brought both of their attention back to Aerith. She was packing some clothes into a bag. After the clothes were packed she walked into the kitchen and reappeared a few minutes later with some boxes and cans of food. She packed these into the bag. Yuffie and Cid only watched her go back and forth and pack things.

"So . . . uh . . . watcha doin'?" Cid asked.

Aerith stopped packing. She closed up the bag and strapped it to her back. "Well, I'm going to go find Leon." She said politely.

"What?!" Cid and Yuffie asked. Yuffie still wasn't talking, but her facial expression asked the same question.

"I'm going to go find Leon." Aerith said again. "Leon's our friend. I have to find him." With that, she walked out the door.

Cid stood in amazement as the door shut. Yuffie gazed at the door with shining eyes. Maybe . . .
