Kokoro (A Yuffie x Leon Coupling Fanfic)
Warning/Disclaimer: I do not own these characters. All character mentioned in this fanfic copyright their respective owners.
Note: This fanfic is told from Yuffie's POV. This fanfic also supports the coupling idea of Yuffie and Leon (Squall). If you do not like that, then don't read it. I chose the song from Xenosaga 'Kokoro' because I thought the lyrics fit well with what Yuffie was feeling when she met Leon. Also to note, I do realize Yuffie is 16 and Leon is 25, but as someone once said, love knows no boundaries. And hey, in anime/manga, it's a normal thing. ^_^ Enjoy!

-Kokoro (The Words I Feel)- Sung by Joanne Hoagg
I've been watching you awhile Since you walked into my life Monday morning, when first I heard you speak to me I was too shy to let you know Much too scared to let my feelings show But you shielded me and that was the beginning
Now at last we can talk In another way And though I try, I love you, Is just so hard to say If I only could be strong And say the words I feel
My beating heart begins to race When I turn to see your face I remember that sweet dream Which you told to me I wanted just to be with you So we could make the dream come true And you smiled at me and that was the beginning
Now at last we can talk In another way And though I try, I love you, Is just so hard to say If I only could be strong And say the words I feel
Tell me what you're thinking of Tell me if you love me not I have so much I long to ask you But now the chance has gone While your picture fades each day In my heart the memory stays Though we rant, you're always smiling And I will hold it long

~Chapter One~
One day, our world was swallowed up by the Heartless. I found myself in a world with Aerith and Cid, that I had information of. The name of the strange place was Traverse Town, a sort of place that became the middle of all worlds. Cid informed us later that he thinks that Cloud may have ended up in this world, or some other world as well. I was a little concerned about the separation, but I knew we would meet up in time. Sooner or later, Traverse Town became a normal home to us. One of the few places left that the Heartless had trouble taking for their own.
As time had past, more and more visitors from other worlds lost to the Heartless made Traverse Town their home. Shops, homes, and other town- like oddities became plentiful. Then, it was when HE came that my life began to take a strange turn.
One night, when everything was as it should be, the Heartless came to Traverse Town. In the Second District, they were gathering near the town's keyhole, which was hidden within the fountain. Aerith, Cid, and I decided to help the town, and hold off the Heartless. They seemed to have no interest in us much, until we had attacked them. Even with the fighting skills we came into this town with could barely hold off these monsters. We couldn't fight them alone. Even if we had gotten rid of a cluster, only twice as many would come back for more. Suddenly, a stranger appeared. Brown spiked hair, black attire, and a sword with a gun attached at the handle had come to our rescue. His face had reminded me of Cloud's, so expressionless and serious. The kind of person you'd get annoyed of because he always had the same face everyday. Something about him scared off the few Heartless left.
When things began to settle down, the stranger told us his name was Leon. He was in the same boat as us, the Heartless had taken his world as well. When he had found himself in this new world, he befriended King Mickey of the Magical Kingdom. He was very informative, for he knew many things about the Heartless. About keyholes, a Keyblade, and a man named Ansem. Although his strong point was knowledge, he lacked some personality. I hate that in a person.
Leon trained himself alot in the underground cavern. Eventhough he owed a great deal to King Mickey, Leon wanted to prove he could defeat the Heartless and become wielder of the Keyblade.
Everyday I would watch Leon practice slashing his sword. I has always wondered what it was about him that made him so fascinating to me. Sometimes, I would think to myself 'He doesn't interest me...he's the last thing I want on my mind...' Yet I couldn't help it. He was just sort of...there. There was a particular day I had gone to watch him when someone else other than I had been thinking the same thing. I found Aerith had beaten me to him. They were laughing in eachother's company. I felt a little betrayed, until Aerith finally noticed me standing there. Leon did as well. Our eyes had met, and my beating heart raced. He walked up to me, being aloof as always. "It seems we've been made partners now Yuffie." My eyes widened and I looked to Aerith. "What about Aerith?" I had asked. Aerith responded that Cid was her partner for the time being, but that Leon and I would be in charge of keeping the peace around Traverse Town. I can honestly say I was rather happy with the news.
After becoming 'partners' Leon had opened himself up to me, but only because of my constant questions. "Leon, what is your world like?" Leon would tell me very little about his world, but it was normal of him. All my questions would be answered with simple, short responses. I didn't mind it very much. Once when we were eating together, he seemed to be a tad more talkative, mentioning his name wasn't Leon, but Squall. When I asked him why he changed his name, he responded "New world, new name." I took that as an answer. I began to call him Squall, but he hated it. He scolded me once saying I should never call him Squall. I ignored it though. I would say we became good friends after a while, and we did almost everything together. Squall was someone I had fallen in love with, but I knew he wasn't the type of person who liked that kind of thing, especially from this annoying little ninja girl.
The wielder of the keyblade, Sora, had finally found his way to Traverse Town, along with King Mickey's two most trusted companions, Donald and Goofy. Leon decided that testing Sora with a little battle was a good idea. Of course, Leon won. When Sora came to, we explained a few things to him, and sure enough, Leon's words were right. Within a few minutes, the Heartless invaded the Hotel and I grabbed Aerith, shielding her from them. Leon and Sora headed outside to fight them off. As they were after the keyblade, Aerith and I stayed hidden. After Sora had proven himself, Leon accepted him. With his acceptance, he told the boy what needed to be done, as did Aerith and I. Leon also mentioned the 99 dalmation puppies that were scattered in each world. I teased him for it, thinking it was so cute he had worries for the pups.
