Well you know by now, this is a Cloud/Yuffie and I don't own FF7. So that aside, this is my second chapter in which, I had been surprised I wrote. The Cloud/Yuffie pairing is only the beginning. Soon I'll add more couples into this. As for the old stories, there on this site, but not all in the romance genre, except a new ones. So as you can see below, I added my own flashbacks in the story that take place before my first chapter.
Note: * flashbacks from the game. ~ my flashbacks for the story.
A NINJA WALKING ON THE CLOUDS *chapter 2*
Those were the good old days, Yuffie had fun on that adventure even though the planets life had been on the line. Since that day Yuffie matured a little, yeah right. But whether she did or not, that was the day she receive true friends. "I wonder what that spikey-head jerk is up to now?" Yuffie though. Yuffie frozen as what she had thought. "It couldn't be, did I just fall in love with Cloud?"
"What is all the fuss about, Miss Yuffie?" Gorky, the fat guard asked walking in. "Get out you, hentai!" Yuffie screamed throwing her pillow. Thus when the pillow collided with Gorky, he fell backwards in the hallway. Now she noticed her surroundings. "How did I get into the guest's bedroom?" Yuffie looked down to see small blood wound. "That old man," she sighed. "I'll get him back tomorrow, but why did I have that dream?" Yuffie touched her chest, blood dripped out from the wound onto her hand. "Maybe it's nothing, but still I can't shake this feeling?"
"You called?" A young boy walked towards Yuffie's door. "What are you doing here, you little brat?" Yuffie grew angry, she didn't like people disturb when she talked to herself, which is often. "Lord Godo told me, to make sure you were alright. It seems, he really doesn't trust with one guard. So please go back to bed, I don't want to hurt you." Yuffie chuckled. "If I remember correctly, didn't I beat you last time penguin-boy?" Shake nodded, he still didn't like the fact that he had been beaten by Yuffie. "Yeah," Shake quietly muttered.
* Final Fantasy flashback *
Yuffie, the girl ninja just been saved by Cloud, and company from the evil dirty clutches of Don Corneo. Upon that, she fought in the Pagoda. Her first match with Gorky, from the flight of stairs came the boy. "Yo! They call me Shake! I'll be watchin' your fight with Gorky!" Yuffie defeated of Gorky, hadn't been fast for the flying creature, did live up to when he said "Power Change!" Shake had been watching their match, Yuffie had finally defeated the beast with help of her Blood fest rage limit breaker, "Here I am, Miss Yuffie!" Gorky admitted. "Of course!" Yuffie pride shined. "Hmm, I thought you were just a wild girl, but you handled that pretty well! Well, we'll see how you do on next one." Shake now led them to her next match upstairs. "Who's next?" Yuffie asked excited. "Are you blind? I'm right here!" Shake snapped. "What? I gotta fight a punk?" Shake let out a small laugh. "Heh! Punk. I'm more of adult than some bimbo girl!" Yuffie shouted. "Wh, what did you say!?" Shake looked on. "See what I mean? That kind of anger's what makes you so immature! Don't pat yourself on the back until you beat me."
"Now watch!" Yuffie replied. "'Bout the only thing you do really good is breathe! Sure you're brave enough to fight?" Yuffie prepared to fend her honor. "Stop yappin'!" Now, a woman stood like Shake had been doing on the first floor. "So, I guess it's time for Chekhov to stand in. Here I go, brat! Speed Change!" Shake transformed into was appears to be a penguin. The battle begins with Yuffie, slicing at Shake with her shuriken a few times. Shake fell quickly, "URRGRAAAAGH! So you CAN fight a bit!" Shake roughly admitted. "Of course!" Yuffie repeated once again. Slowly after that she defeated Chekhov, Staniv, and finally her father Godo.
----------
Shake went silent, "That was pure luck." Yuffie didn't say anything, she slowly walked out of the door when Shake avoided eye contact, due to his broken pride. "Sucker!" Yuffie quietly replied when she was out of the room. Now she quickly ran out the door faster than lighting. "Just you wait dad." Her target was the Pagoda, which Lord Godo would be at the top, probably meditating or something like that. When she got there, she slowly entered. "Come out dad, I know you here!" Yuffie demanded. But she ran up the flight of stairs one after another. "Where are you dad? Hiding ain't goin' to help you." Yuffie arrived at the three flour when she stopped. "That's strange, why isn't Chekhov on this floor?" She began to have a bad feeling about this, she withdrew her shuriken. Then she slowly walked towards the fourth floor. Like the last one, it didn't have it's guard Staniv. Now the finally floor, as she entered it she found that both Chekhov, and Staniv had kneed before Godo, who sat on his throne.
"Yuffie, what are you doin' here?" Godo asked in shock, he thought her wound would have kept her in bed for a week. "I should ask you the same thing, but first why did you knock me out with a ninja star?" Godo sighed, a deep heavy one. "It seems I can't hide the truth anymore, Yuffie. But we 'the small town of Wutai' are going to war, "Alright!" Yuffie cheered. "But I want you to remain here in Wutai, Yuffie." he continued. "No way! Why can't I fight in the war?" Yuffie pouted. "Please understand you father feelings, Yuffie." begged Chekhov. "It's okay Chekhov, Yuffie you WILL remain here!" Yuffie felt hurt, it wasn't fair. She gathered the materials, save the world, yet her father wouldn't let her fight in the war. "You can't tell me what to do!" she protested. "But he is your lord, not to mention your father." began Staniv. "I don't care, I'm the one who found the materials!" Which was actually given, but she tried to steal. "Yes, and thanks to that, Wutai with rise up." Godo stated.
The old samurai, lifted himself. "Yuffie, I'm saying this because I care for you." Yuffie began to laugh. "Care!? You never cared, the town itself had been the only thing you cared for, yet Wutai's honor didn't matter, for long as Shinra didn't come. We would live a peaceful life, that's the reason why I left. But I promised myself, that I would return with a lot of materials then together I thought, we would give Wutai back it's honor, but now I see. I was wrong."
"I know I wasn't a good father but I," Godo paused. "I don't want to hear it!" Yuffie screamed. "Yuffie, you have no idea. What the Lord feels," Staniv went on saying but was stopped by Godo. "No, she is right, I'm not a good father, but please Yuffie for once stay home." Godo begged. Yuffie turned away from him, "I'm goin' to fight, whether you like it or not!" With that said she walked out of the Pagoda. Yuffie went back to her house, she started preparing supplies. "Even if that old fool ain't going, I'll show the world Wutai's strength." After packing her few belongings, she decided to head out. "If they don't want me in the war, I'll start my own. Good thing, I stashed a few materials before giving it to that old coot."
"Now it's time for the Yuffie empire!" she cheered. "Now I'll need to find only the best to join my empire, and then the world will know the name, Yuffie Kisaragi." But being the people Yuffie is, she forgot one small problem. "Where am I goin' get a boat? Oh well, guess I need to make a raft or something." But the poor thief girl forgot another problem, "No, I forgot. Wutai region has no trees." Yuffie sighed, she was at a loss. Yuffie paniced, "If I had Cid's ship, or a gold chocobo. I could leave, this damn area. But now I can't go back to Wutai, that'll make me look desperate." Yuffie couldn't believe it, now she was stuck. No one had it worst.
* Kingdom Hearts flash forward *
Sora, and Kairi had been sitting on Destiny Beach talking, "Say, Kairi, what was your hometown like? You know, where you grew up." Kairi looked down. "I told you before, I don't remember." Sora couldn't believe it. "Nothing at all?" Sora wondered "Nothing." Kairi said sadly. "You ever want to go back? Sora asked. "Well, I'm happy here." Kairi replied cheerfully. "Really." Sora had been glad to hear that. "But you know. I wouldn't mind going to see it." Kairi admitted. "I'd like to see it too. Along with any other worlds out there! I want to see 'em all!" Sora agreed with her. "So what're we waiting for?" Kairi asked. "Hey, aren't you guys forgetting about me?" A voice asked. "So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft." Riku tosses a log to Sora, but he fells to catch it and falls over. "And you're just as lazy as he is!" Riku proclaimed. "So you noticed. Okay, we'll finish it together. I'll race you!" Kairi smiled. "Huh?" Sora asked. "What, are you kidding?" Riku couldn't believe it. "Ready? Go!" proclaimed Kairi. They ran off racing one again.
----------
The art of being impatient had always been fair with Yuffie, Like I say before, the ninja thief hated the night, but only if it's in total darkness. Damn, what am I going to do now? Yuffie thought desperately, soon turned to anger, as she threw a red material towards the beach. A blue tidal wave washed over the materia, a giant snake now formed. Yuffie looked to see it. Leviathon, the water god of Wutai laid on the sandy beach. "Alright!" Yuffie cheered. Quickly running towards her summon monster, she began to cracked a smile. "Bow down before your master!" Yuffie demanded. The giant serpent did what it was told, and Yuffie mounded the so called god Leviathon. "Take my to the nears continent!" Leviathon nodded, the creature prepared to swim, but before it could, Yuffie quickly remembered something. "Oh man I forgot, I get sea sick." But it was too late, for sickness begun to take over. On the long time Yuffie had a fun time, too bad Leviathon didn't. While Yuffie, and Leviathon were "having fun".
The hero of the world, Cloud Strife sat looking upon the hot radiate, the heat beamed down upon the country of Costa Del Sol, the best vacation spot you could take if you were even if you were a villain. Cloud sat there, trying not to think about "her". Cloud could believe what happened, his life like a mirror, broken in a instant before he could even touch it. The day of Yuffie visit to his lovely home quickly ruined his perfect life. Cloud knew deep in his heart it wouldn't lasted, "In our lives, we must suffer until our time in the life stream comes." Cloud gazed lowered from the warm flame ball in the sky, his heart broken couldn't stand looking at it. "Why Tifa?" Cloud sighed. As anyone could guess, having to live a week with another female. Didn't improve his love life with Tifa Lockheart a bit. In fact it cause more trouble.
* Final Fantasy flashback * ~
Cloud stood in the doorway of his new house in Costa Del Sol. With the night sky towards his back, the light heavens sparkled throughout the stars. Life couldn't been any sweeter to him, the whole planet was saved, he defeated his long time ex-hero, and found love. Nothing could ruin his life, not even the new Shinra. Which isn't as evil, or money hungry like the old one. Reeve, an employee of Shinra retired after it's fall, and through his support remade a new one shortly, yet a new president hadn't been decided yet. So the empire didn't have it's chance to control the world.
"Hello Cloud," came a feminine voice from behind. Cloud slowly turned, the young ninja shined a smile. "Hey Yuffie, what's up?" Yuffie face quickly turned towards the ground. A bright crimson formed. "Cloud, can I ask you a favor?" Cloud scratch his head in surprise, this wasn't like Yuffie a bit to act this way. "What's wrong Yuffie, why aren't you home in Wutai?" Cloud asked. "Well, it's nothin' just I don't want to return to Wutai yet. So can I hang out with you and Tifa tonight?" Yuffie asked trying to give puppy dog eyes. "Well.. Sure.. You can stay Yuffie." Cloud reluctantly replied, he somehow couldn't beat her innocent look. "Yeah sure Yuffie." Tifa agreed, suddenly walking out of their home. Quickly Yuffie ran past the two, with a small grin on her face. Cloud sighed, closing the door. He couldn't believe Yuffie would be staying the night, no matter. The warrior had missed the gang quite a bit, with everyone going their own separate ways except him and Tifa. He didn't need to show her around, for back in the days. Cloud, and his friends had stayed here a few times to relax during their quest to save the planet. Cloud pointed towards to the two beds, one of which was piled high with boxes. "This is where you'll sleep after we clean the mess of." Cloud grabbed a box, and started down stairs to the basement. "Where does Tifa sleep then?" Before anyone could speak, Yuffie's eyes quickly open wide upon realizing the answer to her own question.
"Oooooooh! So then?" Yuffie turned towards both Tifa, and Cloud, who finish storing the first box. "What!?" Cloud asked shocked. "Did you, you know?" Yuffie pressed on. Tifa eyes grew, upon understanding what Yuffie meant. Tifa began to whisper into Cloud's ear. "That's what you think? Well actually didn't reached that level of "sleeping" together yet, so don't worry." Cloud assured her. "No I want to watch when you do it!" Tifa giggled, while Cloud let on a huge sigh. "Sorry, but not tonight Yuffie." Yuffie pretended to pout. "Why not?" Cloud shrugged. "Your too young to think, about "things" like that." Yuffie eyes narrowed, her eyes starting to dart, "Hey, I'm 16 years old. Thank you very much." Cloud disagreed. "Still, being a teenager girl with puberty doesn't help you to mature."
"How do you know?" Yuffie rudely spat out. "I was one once too." Cloud smiled. "Yeah you should have seen him at Wall Market, besides Cloud will be embarrass, if we did it in front of you." Cloud turned his head to Tifa. "Yeah, I bet he doesn't want to show the little hero!" Yuffie chuckled. "What's that suppose to mean Yuffie?" Cloud raged. "Nothing!" She continued to laugh as Tifa joined in. "If your finally finish mocking me, can you guys help me clean this bed off?" Cloud asked grabbing another box. "Fine, if that's what you want Cloud!" Yuffie did the same as Cloud, he led her to the basement. "Glad to see that guy sleeping is finally gone." Yuffie replied stacking her box on top of Cloud's. Cloud flashed a smile, "Yeah we had a hard time getting him to leave."
"So what's in the boxes?" Yuffie asked curiously. Cloud sighed. "Well if you must know , the boxes include some of our old weapons, and materias. Maybe one day, we'll all have a big reunion, and have the whole gang together again." Yuffie hadn't been listening, "Sure, that sounds nice." She had been thinking of other businesses. "So Cloud, is it possible for me to stay longer than a day here?" Cloud was taken by her saying this. "Sure I don't care, and I'm sure Tifa will probably not care either. So stay as long as you like." Yuffie couldn't believe it, "Really!?" He nodded. "Look Yuffie, we're friends so if you need anything. I'll be happy to help you to the best of my ability."
"Then can I ask you another favor?"
"What can I do for you, Yuffie?" Cloud gladly replied. "It's nothing." Yuffie's voice sadden. That night, both Cloud, and Tifa slept peacefully. But Yuffie couldn't, she tossed, and turned throughout the night, a thought couldn't leave her mind, "I can't ask Cloud, it would be rude. I'm asking for so much, and then there is the fact, he could say no. But for some reason, I can't bring myself to ask him." Many days past, before Yuffie make up her mind.
One night, after the house was at rest. Yuffie stealthy tip toed down the dark hall. Her goal had been the basement, slowly pursuing the basement. She found the boxes, "It's materia time," She silence replied to herself. With cautiousness, she walked closer to the basement along with a huge green bag draping over her shoulder. But she didn't know, she was being watched. Upon stealing all the materia, she walked towards the exit of the house. But before she could, a pair of hands grab her. "Help me!" she tried screaming. But one of the hands, made it's way to her mouth.
"Shhh, Yuffie it's me Cloud. Why did you steal the materias again?"
"Let me go Cloud!" Yuffie shaking caused Cloud to lose his grip on the thief. Soon, Yuffie fell back, with Cloud coming crashing on top of her. The bag of materias dropped, the sound of the brightly colored orbs dropping onto the dirty floor echoed through out the house. "Cloud, what's all that ruckus about?" Tifa stood shock at the room's doorway upon seeing the form of Cloud on top of Yuffie. "Oh my, Cloud how could you!" Tifa sobbed. "Tifa, it's not was you think." Cloud pleaded for her to listen, but he didn't have his chance. "Water Kick!" she screamed, with tears running down her face. Her powerful kick knocked Cloud off his feet, but the pain didn't hurt as much as the lack of friendship he suffered from Yuffie. The blow of Tifa's, made him fall. His whole body began to fill numb, and his vision became blurly, but he could make out Tifa running out of the house.
When Cloud came around, he found himself in his bed like it all had been a bad dream. But he didn't find Tifa, lovely body next to him. Cloud quickly sat up, his vision recovered. As he saw the ninja princess by his bed side. "Cloud, I'm truly sorry!" She apologetic replied. Cloud turned his head towards her. "Are you?" he snapped. "What do you mean?" Cloud smiled. "On our quest, you planned on stealing our materias from the start. It took me a while to forgive you, since then but now you will not receive the same treatment for me again." Cloud slowly made his way out of bed. Only to fall back down again, Yuffie offered a hand up, but Cloud refused. "I can help myself. Thank you." he hissed. "Listen I'm serious Cloud, I didn't mean too, really! It's just sometimes I can't help it, I'm use to taking stuff without asking, and I thought you might wouldn't give them to me either." Cloud began to look into Yuffie's eyes. His stare didn't disappear. Cloud now standing, walked past Yuffie, he slowly picked up each materia one by one putting them into her green bag. After the last one made it's way in, he tossed the bag hard towards her with all his might. "You can have them all, but on one condition. That you stay away from me forever! Now get out!" Cloud screamed, with his hand clamped onto his chest, he dropped to his knees. The poor man silence cried to himself, it seemed his broken heart would never recover. But he was not alone, for Yuffie shed a few tears to herself before closing the door to his home.
----------
Cloud sighed once more, "My life was over before it even began." Cloud knew soon or later is was bound to happen. Since, when they first arrived at Costa Del Sol after meteor. He began to feel like Aeris could be revived, the only reason he didn't going looking for a way, had be for Tifa sake. The whole team thought he was crazy, which hadn't be far from the truth. After the end of Seprioth, he only acted happy, but on his interior. The truth was all he wanted to do was stay locked up in his room. He cared for Tifa with all his heart, but couldn't stand the truth of Aeris death. Cloud soon started to look towards the sky, for what seem answers. Only Yuffie interrupted him, the first night of her stay.
"I have nothing here," Cloud spoke out loud to himself. The blonde warrior entered his home. "For my life, I will live it my own way." Cloud looked towards a cabinet, he reached for a roll of tape, upon receiving it. Taking an end, he continued to wrap it around his huge buster sword. "This will symbol of my change, my sword has healed so I must as well." Cloud packed his only materia, Knights of the Round Table. This had been the only thing of value to him. "Bet these guys don't know how it feels to be dumped by a loved one." Cloud applied the materia to his sword. "Good bye home, till we met again." Was his final whisper, the broken shell of a man slowly walked towards the Costa Del Sol dock.
While Cloud walked towards the dock of Costa Del Sol. We join our local ninja thief Yuffie, laying unconscious. Soon she comes around to find herself on a sandy beach. The first thing on her mind had been where in the world was she, but instead she found herself unable to speak. In a desperate attempt, she found the reason due to something in her mouth. "Yuck!" The taste of sand in her mouth didn't disappear. Yuffie was in a fix, she didn't know where she was, and the sand in her mouth didn't help one bit either. She look up towards the sky, itself had been blacken by pollution with soot, and smoke covering the air. Yuffie eyes wide open. "Great! I'm near Junon region." Yuffie sighed, but quickly an idea reappeared to her. "Now it's time to build my army!" Yuffie proclaimed, excitement filled the air now. So the thief quickly left for her next adventure, too bad Yuffie has no idea what Fate has in store for her.
The End (or is it?)
----------
As you read, it's tying in with Kingdom Hearts. Not enough to be a crossover, as for spelling on this chapter, I fixed some of it. It's a lot better than last time. It should all be spelled correctly.
If not, I'll back over it later once once.
Final Note: I'm glad to see new Cloud/Yuffie's also. Did you get the King Arthur joke, guess you probably didn't.

Those were the good old days, Yuffie had fun on that adventure even though the planets life had been on the line. Since that day Yuffie matured a little, yeah right. But whether she did or not, that was the day she receive true friends. "I wonder what that spikey-head jerk is up to now?" Yuffie though. Yuffie frozen as what she had thought. "It couldn't be, did I just fall in love with Cloud?"
"What is all the fuss about, Miss Yuffie?" Gorky, the fat guard asked walking in. "Get out you, hentai!" Yuffie screamed throwing her pillow. Thus when the pillow collided with Gorky, he fell backwards in the hallway. Now she noticed her surroundings. "How did I get into the guest's bedroom?" Yuffie looked down to see small blood wound. "That old man," she sighed. "I'll get him back tomorrow, but why did I have that dream?" Yuffie touched her chest, blood dripped out from the wound onto her hand. "Maybe it's nothing, but still I can't shake this feeling?"
"You called?" A young boy walked towards Yuffie's door. "What are you doing here, you little brat?" Yuffie grew angry, she didn't like people disturb when she talked to herself, which is often. "Lord Godo told me, to make sure you were alright. It seems, he really doesn't trust with one guard. So please go back to bed, I don't want to hurt you." Yuffie chuckled. "If I remember correctly, didn't I beat you last time penguin-boy?" Shake nodded, he still didn't like the fact that he had been beaten by Yuffie. "Yeah," Shake quietly muttered.

Yuffie asked excited. "Are you blind? I'm right here!" Shake snapped. "What? I gotta fight a punk?" Shake let out a small laugh. "Heh! Punk. I'm more of adult than some bimbo girl!" Yuffie shouted. "Wh, what did you say!?" Shake looked on. "See what I mean? That kind of anger's what makes you so immature! Don't pat yourself on the back until you beat me."
"Now watch!" Yuffie replied. "'Bout the only thing you do really good is breathe! Sure you're brave enough to fight?" Yuffie prepared to fend her honor. "Stop yappin'!" Now, a woman stood like Shake had been doing on the first floor. "So, I guess it's time for Chekhov to stand in. Here I go, brat! Speed Change!" Shake transformed into was appears to be a penguin. The battle begins with Yuffie, slicing at Shake with her shuriken a few times. Shake fell quickly, "URRGRAAAAGH! So you CAN fight a bit!" Shake roughly admitted. "Of course!"

"Yuffie, what are you doin' here?" Godo asked in shock, he thought her wound would have kept her in bed for a week. "I should ask you the same thing, but first why did you knock me out with a ninja star?" Godo sighed, a deep heavy one. "It seems I can't hide the truth anymore, Yuffie. But we 'the small town of Wutai' are going to war, "Alright!" Yuffie cheered. "But I want you to remain here in Wutai, Yuffie." he continued. "No way! Why can't I fight in the war?" Yuffie pouted. "Please understand you father feelings, Yuffie." begged Chekhov. "It's okay Chekhov, Yuffie you WILL remain here!" Yuffie felt hurt, it wasn't fair. She gathered the materials, save the world, yet her father wouldn't let her fight in the war. "You can't tell me what to do!" she protested. "But he is your lord, not to mention your father." began Staniv. "I don't care, I'm the one who found the materials!" Which was actually given, but she tried to steal.

"I know I wasn't a good father but I," Godo paused. "I don't want to hear it!" Yuffie screamed. "Yuffie, you have no idea. What the Lord feels," Staniv went on saying but was stopped by Godo. "No, she is right, I'm not a good father, but please Yuffie for once stay home." Godo begged. Yuffie turned away from him, "I'm goin' to fight, whether you like it or not!" With that said she walked out of the Pagoda. Yuffie went back to her house, she started preparing supplies. "Even if that old fool ain't going, I'll show the world Wutai's strength." After packing her few belongings, she decided to head out. "If they don't want me in the war, I'll start my own. Good thing, I stashed a few materials before giving it to that old coot."
"Now it's time for the Yuffie empire!" she cheered. "Now I'll need to find only the best to join my empire, and then the world will know the name, Yuffie Kisaragi." But being the people Yuffie is, she forgot one small problem. "Where am I goin' get a boat? Oh well, guess I need to make a raft or something." But the poor thief girl forgot another problem, "No, I forgot. Wutai region has no trees." Yuffie sighed, she was at a loss. Yuffie paniced, "If I had Cid's ship, or a gold chocobo.

The art of being impatient had always been fair with Yuffie, Like I say before, the ninja thief hated the night, but only if it's in total darkness. Damn, what am I going to do now? Yuffie thought desperately, soon turned to anger, as she threw a red material towards the beach. A blue tidal wave washed over the materia, a giant snake now formed. Yuffie looked to see it. Leviathon, the water god of Wutai laid on the sandy beach. "Alright!" Yuffie cheered. Quickly running towards her summon monster, she began to cracked a smile. "Bow down before your master!" Yuffie demanded. The giant serpent did what it was told, and Yuffie mounded the so called god Leviathon. "Take my to the nears continent!" Leviathon nodded, the creature prepared to swim, but before it could, Yuffie quickly remembered something. "Oh man I forgot, I get sea sick." But it was too late, for sickness begun to take over. On the long time Yuffie had a fun time, too bad Leviathon didn't. While Yuffie, and Leviathon were "having fun".
The hero of the world, Cloud Strife sat looking upon the hot radiate, the heat beamed down upon the country of Costa Del Sol, the best vacation spot you could take if you were even if you were a villain. Cloud sat there, trying not to think about "her". Cloud could believe what happened, his life like a mirror, broken in a instant before he could even touch it. The day of Yuffie visit to his lovely home quickly ruined his perfect life. Cloud knew deep in his heart it wouldn't lasted, "In our lives, we must suffer until our time in the life stream comes." Cloud gazed lowered from the warm flame ball in the sky, his heart broken couldn't stand looking at it. "Why Tifa?" Cloud sighed. As anyone could guess, having to live a week with another female. Didn't improve his love life with Tifa Lockheart a bit. In fact it cause more trouble.
* Final Fantasy flashback * ~
Cloud stood in the doorway of his new house in Costa Del Sol. With the night sky towards his back, the light heavens sparkled throughout the stars. Life couldn't been any sweeter to him, the whole planet was saved, he defeated his long time ex-hero, and found love. Nothing could ruin his life, not even the new Shinra. Which isn't as evil, or money hungry like the old one. Reeve, an employee of Shinra retired after it's fall, and through his support remade a new one shortly, yet a new president hadn't been decided yet. So the empire didn't have it's chance to control the world.
"Hello Cloud," came a feminine voice from behind. Cloud slowly turned, the young ninja shined a smile. "Hey Yuffie, what's up?" Yuffie face quickly turned towards the ground. A bright crimson formed. "Cloud, can I ask you a favor?" Cloud scratch his head in surprise, this wasn't like Yuffie a bit to act this way. "What's wrong Yuffie, why aren't you home in Wutai?" Cloud asked. "Well, it's nothin' just I don't want to return to Wutai yet. So can I hang out with you and Tifa tonight?" Yuffie asked trying to give puppy dog eyes. "Well.. Sure.. You can stay Yuffie." Cloud reluctantly replied, he somehow couldn't beat her innocent look. "Yeah sure Yuffie." Tifa agreed, suddenly walking out of their home. Quickly Yuffie ran past the two, with a small grin on her face. Cloud sighed, closing the door. He couldn't believe Yuffie would be staying the night, no matter. The warrior had missed the gang quite a bit, with everyone going their own separate ways except him and Tifa. He didn't need to show her around, for back in the days. Cloud, and his friends had stayed here a few times to relax during their quest to save the planet. Cloud pointed towards to the two beds, one of which was piled high with boxes. "This is where you'll sleep after we clean the mess of." Cloud grabbed a box, and started down stairs to the basement. "Where does Tifa sleep then?" Before anyone could speak, Yuffie's eyes quickly open wide upon realizing the answer to her own question.
"Oooooooh! So then?" Yuffie turned towards both Tifa, and Cloud, who finish storing the first box. "What!?" Cloud asked shocked. "Did you, you know?" Yuffie pressed on. Tifa eyes grew, upon understanding what Yuffie meant. Tifa began to whisper into Cloud's ear. "That's what you think? Well actually didn't reached that level of "sleeping" together yet, so don't worry." Cloud assured her. "No I want to watch when you do it!" Tifa giggled, while Cloud let on a huge sigh. "Sorry, but not tonight Yuffie." Yuffie pretended to pout. "Why not?" Cloud shrugged. "Your too young to think, about "things" like that." Yuffie eyes narrowed, her eyes starting to dart, "Hey, I'm 16 years old. Thank you very much." Cloud disagreed. "Still, being a teenager girl with puberty doesn't help you to mature."
"How do you know?" Yuffie rudely spat out. "I was one once too." Cloud smiled. "Yeah you should have seen him at Wall Market, besides Cloud will be embarrass, if we did it in front of you." Cloud turned his head to Tifa. "Yeah, I bet he doesn't want to show the little hero!" Yuffie chuckled. "What's that suppose to mean Yuffie?" Cloud raged. "Nothing!" She continued to laugh as Tifa joined in. "If your finally finish mocking me, can you guys help me clean this bed off?" Cloud asked grabbing another box. "Fine, if that's what you want Cloud!" Yuffie did the same as Cloud, he led her to the basement. "Glad to see that guy sleeping is finally gone." Yuffie replied stacking her box on top of Cloud's. Cloud flashed a smile, "Yeah we had a hard time getting him to leave."
"So what's in the boxes?" Yuffie asked curiously. Cloud sighed. "Well if you must know , the boxes include some of our old weapons, and materias. Maybe one day, we'll all have a big reunion, and have the whole gang together again." Yuffie hadn't been listening, "Sure, that sounds nice." She had been thinking of other businesses. "So Cloud, is it possible for me to stay longer than a day here?" Cloud was taken by her saying this. "Sure I don't care, and I'm sure Tifa will probably not care either. So stay as long as you like." Yuffie couldn't believe it, "Really!?" He nodded. "Look Yuffie, we're friends so if you need anything. I'll be happy to help you to the best of my ability."
"Then can I ask you another favor?"
"What can I do for you, Yuffie?" Cloud gladly replied. "It's nothing." Yuffie's voice sadden. That night, both Cloud, and Tifa slept peacefully. But Yuffie couldn't, she tossed, and turned throughout the night, a thought couldn't leave her mind, "I can't ask Cloud, it would be rude. I'm asking for so much, and then there is the fact, he could say no. But for some reason, I can't bring myself to ask him." Many days past, before Yuffie make up her mind.
One night, after the house was at rest. Yuffie stealthy tip toed down the dark hall. Her goal had been the basement, slowly pursuing the basement. She found the boxes, "It's materia time," She silence replied to herself. With cautiousness, she walked closer to the basement along with a huge green bag draping over her shoulder. But she didn't know, she was being watched. Upon stealing all the materia, she walked towards the exit of the house. But before she could, a pair of hands grab her. "Help me!" she tried screaming. But one of the hands, made it's way to her mouth.
"Shhh, Yuffie it's me Cloud. Why did you steal the materias again?"
"Let me go Cloud!" Yuffie shaking caused Cloud to lose his grip on the thief. Soon, Yuffie fell back, with Cloud coming crashing on top of her. The bag of materias dropped, the sound of the brightly colored orbs dropping onto the dirty floor echoed through out the house. "Cloud, what's all that ruckus about?" Tifa stood shock at the room's doorway upon seeing the form of Cloud on top of Yuffie. "Oh my, Cloud how could you!" Tifa sobbed. "Tifa, it's not was you think." Cloud pleaded for her to listen, but he didn't have his chance. "Water Kick!" she screamed, with tears running down her face. Her powerful kick knocked Cloud off his feet, but the pain didn't hurt as much as the lack of friendship he suffered from Yuffie. The blow of Tifa's, made him fall. His whole body began to fill numb, and his vision became blurly, but he could make out Tifa running out of the house.
When Cloud came around, he found himself in his bed like it all had been a bad dream. But he didn't find Tifa, lovely body next to him. Cloud quickly sat up, his vision recovered. As he saw the ninja princess by his bed side. "Cloud, I'm truly sorry!" She apologetic replied. Cloud turned his head towards her. "Are you?" he snapped. "What do you mean?" Cloud smiled. "On our quest, you planned on stealing our materias from the start. It took me a while to forgive you, since then but now you will not receive the same treatment for me again." Cloud slowly made his way out of bed. Only to fall back down again, Yuffie offered a hand up, but Cloud refused. "I can help myself. Thank you." he hissed. "Listen I'm serious Cloud, I didn't mean too, really! It's just sometimes I can't help it, I'm use to taking stuff without asking, and I thought you might wouldn't give them to me either." Cloud began to look into Yuffie's eyes. His stare didn't disappear. Cloud now standing, walked past Yuffie, he slowly picked up each materia one by one putting them into her green bag. After the last one made it's way in, he tossed the bag hard towards her with all his might. "You can have them all, but on one condition. That you stay away from me forever! Now get out!" Cloud screamed, with his hand clamped onto his chest, he dropped to his knees. The poor man silence cried to himself, it seemed his broken heart would never recover. But he was not alone, for Yuffie shed a few tears to herself before closing the door to his home.
----------
Cloud sighed once more, "My life was over before it even began." Cloud knew soon or later is was bound to happen. Since, when they first arrived at Costa Del Sol after meteor. He began to feel like Aeris could be revived, the only reason he didn't going looking for a way, had be for Tifa sake. The whole team thought he was crazy, which hadn't be far from the truth. After the end of Seprioth, he only acted happy, but on his interior. The truth was all he wanted to do was stay locked up in his room. He cared for Tifa with all his heart, but couldn't stand the truth of Aeris death. Cloud soon started to look towards the sky, for what seem answers. Only Yuffie interrupted him, the first night of her stay.
"I have nothing here," Cloud spoke out loud to himself. The blonde warrior entered his home. "For my life, I will live it my own way." Cloud looked towards a cabinet, he reached for a roll of tape, upon receiving it. Taking an end, he continued to wrap it around his huge buster sword. "This will symbol of my change, my sword has healed so I must as well." Cloud packed his only materia, Knights of the Round Table. This had been the only thing of value to him. "Bet these guys don't know how it feels to be dumped by a loved one." Cloud applied the materia to his sword. "Good bye home, till we met again." Was his final whisper, the broken shell of a man slowly walked towards the Costa Del Sol dock.
While Cloud walked towards the dock of Costa Del Sol. We join our local ninja thief Yuffie, laying unconscious. Soon she comes around to find herself on a sandy beach. The first thing on her mind had been where in the world was she, but instead she found herself unable to speak. In a desperate attempt, she found the reason due to something in her mouth. "Yuck!" The taste of sand in her mouth didn't disappear. Yuffie was in a fix, she didn't know where she was, and the sand in her mouth didn't help one bit either. She look up towards the sky, itself had been blacken by pollution with soot, and smoke covering the air. Yuffie eyes wide open. "Great! I'm near Junon region." Yuffie sighed, but quickly an idea reappeared to her. "Now it's time to build my army!" Yuffie proclaimed, excitement filled the air now. So the thief quickly left for her next adventure, too bad Yuffie has no idea what Fate has in store for her.
The End (or is it?)
----------
As you read, it's tying in with Kingdom Hearts. Not enough to be a crossover, as for spelling on this chapter, I fixed some of it. It's a lot better than last time. It should all be spelled correctly.
If not, I'll back over it later once once.
Final Note: I'm glad to see new Cloud/Yuffie's also. Did you get the King Arthur joke, guess you probably didn't.
