Chapter Three: Tainted -
Golden beams of light shone faintly on her face. Yuffie's eyes slowly fluttered open. A smile touched her face. She stretched her arms and attempted to get up. But, right then, she felt something wiggle in her lap. She slowly looked down, and was afraid of what she would see. What the hell is that! A spider crawled across her stomach, Yuffie flinched and her eyes grew wider than golf balls.
"AHHHHHHH!" She SCREAMED. "GET IT OFF! OH MY----!" She pulled out her Conformer and squashed the spider with one of the pointy parts. Nasty! She wasn't going to stay in the forest for much longer. Ewww! I feel all... gross. I wanna take a bath! Nasty! That thing was HUGE! Yuffie walked on, at a faster pace. She then started running. The sooner she could get out of their, the sooner she could find the next town and buy some breakfast. She was starved.
She stopped a few times to catch her breath. The forest was full of bugs and she wondered how she even managed to get to sleep. She had a phobia of bugs, well spiders! Yuffie took out her materia bag and cast haste on herself so she could get out of the forest as fast as she could. And it worked. She saw the clear blue sky just ahead of her. An open field. Her trade mark smile found its way to her face again as she saw a small village just ahead in the field. Cloud and the rest of AVALANCHE never actually came here though. It was really quiet in this town.
The town was called Acaida named after one of the princesses that used to live in Wutai. She increased her speed. That was well known about Yuffie, she was incredibly agile and fast. She could best most peoples speed and probably beat you up in a dark ally at night time too! As she came to the entrance of the town she saw that life was peaceful here. It was quiet. There were a few people, buzzing around in their own business. Women with their children. Little boys playing with wooden swords and girls playing with dolls.
Making her way through the town, she stepped into the cafe. She was soooo hungry. There wasn't a line up at the counter so she made her order right away.
"Um excuse me?" Yuffie said impatiently, her stomach was killing her. "Uhhh could I get the Saturday Special?" Not to mention, she really had to use the washroom. The small lady at the counter looked at her confused, then smiled.
"Of course dear!" She said grinning a toothless grin. "Would that be all?"
"Uhh yes!" Yuffie stuttered, hopping on the spot. "Wait do you have a washroom around here?"
"Back of the kitchen, three doors down the hallway to your right." She said and smiled again. "I'll bring the food to you when it's ready dear."
"Thanks!" Yuffie said and quickly made her way to the washroom.

Sephiroth smirked, remembering the look on the guards face. He slowly entered the small town of Acadia. Hungry from his long trip through the mountains of Wutai. What a nice place to put a secret lab, Hojo.
_________________________ ******* Flashback *********
"Take him out of the chamber and restrain him." Hojo said in a curt voice. They could handle it. Sephiroth couldn't have gotten all of his strength back from fighting with that other puppet. He was a centimeter away from death when Hojo found him.
Why was Hojo still alive? He injected his body with too many Jenova cells. That ... confrontation with Cloud couldn't possibly kill him. Jenova wouldn't simply allow it. That's what made Hojo feared. He was close to immortal. It would take a heck of a beating to kill him.
"I'll be back, I seemed to have forgotten something..." He said loud enough so the guards could hear. He went up the cold metal staircase. This lab was relatively new. He had it on construction for about a month before his old one was destroyed. Wutai mountains. It was the perfect place! The lab was coated with metal. The room that Sephiroth was in looked like an operating room. The smell of steel filled the room and the guards slowly released Sephiroth from his temporary prison. They didn't see the smirk on his face.
Slowly they put him on the operating table and was going to attempt to restrain him with belts and more wires. As soon as one of the guards touched him again, his bright mako green eyes shot open. The guard gasped and pulled away instinctively but was caught off guard. Sephiroth threw a punch towards the guard's gut and watched as he crumbled to the floor. Pathetic.. To more guards came rushing towards him but he stopped them in their tracks. He threw another punch and it came in contact with the guards face. He then kneed the other one in the stomach. Something then caught his eye. A small glimmer of light.. Masamune... His Masamune. It was his sword. The sword of swords.
"Surprising." An all to familiar voice spoke behind him. He whirled around to see Hojo standing in the doorway, holding a needle but it was of a different colour that the first. "I didn't thing you could stand, let alone fight. I guess I don't know the strength of my own son."
"Your son?" Sephiroth spoke in a taunting voice. Hojo nodded his ugly head. "You have no son."
"You'd like to think that now, wouldn't you.." Hojo said coldly. He made his way slowly towards him. Step by step. Sephiroth knew the couldn't fight Hojo at the moment. Guards were one thing but Hojo was another. There was only one thing he could do now. Run. If he had the strength to.
He spun around and grabbed his Masamune. Then made a break for it. This was embarrassing. Him, the almighty Sephiroth, running away from Hojo, the mutated lab rat.
"Where do you think your going?" Hojo screeched.
"I'd kill you know but, I don't got the time for it." Sephiroth replied, lying.
"You shall regret you didn't....." Were the last words he herd from Hojo as he ran faster.
_______________________________ ******** End of Flashback *********
"You shall regret you didn't....." Those words rang in his mind. Maybe he should have killed Hojo. Or, maybe he'll leave that on his "to do" list. He approached the cafe and opened the doors. A small plump lady sat at the desk. He had never been to this town. The people would have no reason to hate him, even know him. Acadia was a closed place. They weren't connected to the rest of the world. Maybe that's why he liked it.
"Oh my, what a handsome young man." She greeted. He was disgusted by her kindness and embarrassed too. "What would you like dear?"
"The Saturday Special, and make it fast, I'm in a hurry." He replied coldly. He was hungry and cranky. But he was lying. Sephiroth wasn't in a hurry.
"Sure thing dear, just take a seat over there." She said, kinda hurt by his words. He left her presence quickly and without a "thanks" he took a seat where he could see all of the people in the cafe. He then saw her... It's her! She was with Cloud!... The ninja. He stared coldly at her. She would soon become his victim. To die. To feel the suffering that Cloud caused him, twice.
She slowly got up and began to walk out of the cafe. But, of course, she didn't see him. Sephiroth began to follow her. Yuffie couldn't feel the burning green eyes on her back.
