Chapter 4 - Unwanted Meetings..
Yuffie slowly made her way to the entrance of the cafe. She smiled at the fat lady at the counter and handed her 60 gil. "Thanks for the food." The lady just smiled and nodded her head in response. "Do you know where the inn is?"
"The inn? Turn left after exiting the shop, then go down the street and turn right. It's the second building to the right dear." The lady answered.
".. Right.. Okay, thanks again, bye!" Yuffie said as she made her way out the door. She started to run. Yuffie wanted to get into the inn, take a shower and sleep.. for a very long time. She felt horrible! Sleeping in a bug infested forest wasn't one of her things. She turned the right corner and saw the inn. It looked happy enough. It had kinda "the olden days" style to it.
Pushing the door open, she heard an annoying creaking sound. This inn was old, and so was the innkeeper. He was an old man, short and bald. What's with this town and old people?? She asked herself.
"Hello miss, may I help you." His voice was gurggly and sounded as if it hasn't been used for years. He coughed and pardoned himself.
Yuffie, hesitated for a moment, then went up the small man. "Uhh.. Ya, do you got any rooms? I've been on the road and I'm kinda tired." She forced a smile. Man! This guy stinks, she thought. He had the smell of alcohol. It disgusted her. Her Pop would smell like that when he came home from weddings and other parties...
"Yes, this way." He said coughing on Yuffie. He led the way up the stairs and into an old room. It looked comfortable! The windows had baby blue curtains and the bed had baby blue sheets. The floor was wooden but the walls weren't. The furniture was though. "In here. That would be 300 gil please."
She searched through her bag and handed him the money. The old man then began to close the door before Yuffie stopped him. "Wait! Do you have any showers around here?"
"The last door at the end of the hall." After saying this he left. Probably to drink more beer! Yuffie thought. She made her way over to the bed, turned around and fell backwards, staring at the ceiling. She sighed.
"I.. Did it." She said aloud. No one would here her. "So.. Where to now. I could always go visit Tifa and Cloud. Or I can go and see Red. Then I'd see Barret or Cid. No, I wouldn't see Vincent. He still freaks me out, and who knows where Cait Sith is!" Tifa and Cloud it is! She made up her mind. After staying in that position for a while, she sat back up and searched through her bag and found a change of cloths. She made her way to the shower room, down the hall and stepped in. "Ugh! It smells funny!" She let out a gasp. Stripping her cloths of her back, Yuffie took a long, relaxing shower.

Sephiroth followed the ninja out of the cafe, keeping a good distance behind her. Trying not to be heard. She was a ninja after all. The fat lady at the counter was about to asked him where he was going but he gave her a dangerous glare, then left.
He watched and followed her down the street and to the right. She went into an inn and he stopped at the door. So, this is where she is staying. He knew where she was, he would.... meet her later. He turned to leave, arriving back at the cafe at a fast pace.
"Sir, your food is ready." Were the words the fat lady said as he came back through the door. She handed him a plate with his breakfast on it. He took the plate from her, not meeting her eyes. Sephiroth sat back down at his table to "enjoy" a good meal. What was the ninja doing here? If she was looking for action, she got the wrong place. Most ninjas came from Wutai, so what was she doing here.. Unless.. Maybe there's something going on and the members of AVALANCE are coming together for something. No. That wasn't it! Sephiroth could still kinda read Clouds mind. Even over this great distance. Cloud never thought about anything like that. He was mostly.. happy with his love, Tifa Lockheart. To Sephiroth, love didn't exist. It made a person weaker. Say if a man and woman were in love. The man would always be forced to protect the woman, making the man weaker because if the woman was caught, he would have to give in to the enemy. Love was always in the way, so why should it even exist? It was just.. Stupid. That's what Hojo said. That name echoed in his mind
Finishing up his food. Sephiroth cleared his plate and went to the counter to pay his bill. "Done already?" The lady asked, smiling at him warmly. He didn't respond. The lady only smiled wider, revealing missing teeth. "That would be 60 gil please." He reached in his black trench coat and pulled out 60 gil and handed it to the lady. He then turned to leave.. He was going back into the inn.
Making his way, slowly back to the inn, Sephiroth was trying to decide what he would do to the girl. Maybe I'll kill her in her sleep. He thought. Or, maybe I wouldn't. I want to see the expression on her face. Maybe I'll kill her when she leaves town, when she's on the road. I think that would be best.
He opened the doors to the inn and heard an annoying screeching noise. "I'd like a room." He said to the old innkeeper without even saying "hello."
"Oh, hello." The innkeeper said, straightening his glasses. "A room? There's one just this way." Sephiroth followed the man up a flight of stairs and into an old room. It looked.. nice. It had a green bed and the curtains to the windows were also green. Everything else was wooden or a dull creamy colour. "That would be 300 gil." Sephiroth handed the man the money and waited until he went his ways.
After the sound of footsteps on hard wood started to fade. He exited his room and started to look around. He was next to another room that was a baby blue colour. The door was open and a bag was on the bed. Sephiroth went into the room and saw her weapon lying on the bed. He turned to leave. When he walked into the doorway of his room he heard another door open, then close. He peeked out from the corner on the wall, careful that nobody would see him. He saw her coming down the hallway covering herself with one towel. He smirked. She entered her room then closed the door. Sephiroth then closed his door softly, hoping she didn't hear anything.
Minutes turned to hours as Sephiroth tried to figure out what he was going to do after he killed her. What a shame. The girl was quite young, she didn't get that far in life. She would be dead soon, as well as all of her friends. Cloud would take the longest to kill. But before he did that, he would have to kill part of Cloud first, Tifa. He'd kill Tifa right in front of Cloud, just the same way he killed that Ancient. He'd watch Cloud scream and he'd laugh. A smirk covered Sephiroth's face. He saw a bookshelf in the corner of the room. The books it held looked old. Wanting to pass the time, he walked over and took one with a red cover that read : Monsters. It was an encyclopedia of all the monsters that had been recorded through time.
He should have been in the book himself! The book was quite interesting. It had many monsters and the different elements they were week against. It also had lists of different materia that had been found... Interesting.

After drying herself with the towel, Yuffie changed into a more conformable pair of cloths. She lied in bed, pulling the covers over her. Gawd, she missed home. Her old bed. She missed many things. Even that stupid airship that Cid was practically in love with. She sighed and turned over. Sleep over took her slowly.
And, darkness fell.
