Chapter One: Old Friend
*~*~*~*~*
Nineteen year-old Yuffie sat on top of the library's bookshelves. Her back was on the bookcase and she stared up into the ceiling. Her ankles were crossed and her arms were behind her head.
Yuffie sighed. There was nothing to do here. Ever since Sora had sealed up every last keyhole, nothing exciting was happening. Just the same thing everyday, sleep in, fight with Squall, go sit around and daydream, fight with Squall again, eat something while fighting with Squall, and then fight with him some more.
Now, since nothing has been going on and since Yuffie is doing the same thing everyday, she is running out of things to call Squall, or she can't think of any good comebacks.
Yuffie sat up and looked around the library. Nobody here except this couple over at the table. Yuffie swung her legs over the case and sat up straight, just looking into space. Her legs started swinging when somebody called from below. "Yuffie? What are you doing up there?"
Yuffie locked out of her gaze and looked down. On the ground was Aerith. She was looking up and had her usual pink dress on.
Yuffie shrugged. "I don't know. There's nothing to do,"
Yuffie jumped down off of the bookcase and landed next to Aerith, not feeling any pain from landing.
"Do you know anything to do?" Yuffie asked.
"Well," Aerith said looking up thoughtfully, "Maybe you could read every single of these books."
Yuffie groaned. "I'm not sure. I'm not really the person who sits around and reads books."
Aerith sighed, "When you were young, before the heartless came, you'd read everyday, remember?"
"Yeah, well that was before I started fighting."
"Just try and read something if you have nothing else to do." Aerith started walking away.
"Where are you going?" Yuffie asked.
Aerith stopped and turned her head. "I'm going to go and find Cloud," she then walked away.
Yuffie rolled her eyes and walked around the maze of bookcases, trying to find a book. It was true, every single day before the heartless attacked, Yuffie would read day after day and never leave the library. But when Yuffie started fighting as a ninja, she wanted to nothing else except improve her fighting and get better than Squall and his stupid fighting skills.
Yuffie found a green book titled 'Peter Pan' and remembered reading it when she was young. Peter Pan was one of her favorite books, and she always imagined Yuffie herself flying to Neverland.
Yuffie took the book and walked over to the empty chair and table that was right below the curving staircase. She laid the book out onto the table and started reading as she sat Indian style on the chair like she did as a little kid.
Yuffie laughed sometimes and was on page one hundred thirty-five in a half of an hour.
Yuffie heard footsteps coming close to her. She stopped reading and looked up into a handsome guy who was looking down at her, smiling. He was certainly tall and had short blonde hair and had dark blue eyes. He wore baggy jeans and a black muscle t-shirt with several black belts on.
"Hey Yuffie," he said.
Yuffie looked puzzled, "Do I know you?"
He laughed. "Yes, it's been some time, hasn't it? I'm Jake, remember?"
Yuffie thought hard into her memories and finally remembered Jake, one of her best friends. She remembered that Yuffie had met Jake when both of them were five years old and were good friends. Then, when both of them were fifteen, the year that the heartless attacked, they were dating. Yuffie remembered that one awkward day.
******FLASHBACK*****
Jake and Yuffie walked hand in hand into the library to the table on the top floor; right where they met. Both sat down and Jake took Yuffie's hands in his. "Yuffie?" he asked, looking into her large eyes.
"Yeah?" Yuffie said, entranced into his deep eyes of swirling water.
"I need to ask you something," he said as he tightened his grip on her hands a little.
"Go ahead,"
"Do you love me?"
Yuffie froze solid. Her body was rigid, and she avoided Jakes eyes. What was she to say? Sure, she 'liked' Jake, a lot, but she never thought in loving him. Yuffie just didn't want to get hurt.
"I need to tell you something," Jake said, "It's been on my mind for a long time now. Since we've been friends almost our whole lives, and we've been dating for two years, I need to tell you that I... that I love you."
Yuffie's heart started pumping. What was she to say? She thought 'loving' someone after two years of dating was going a little far, especially since their only fifteen years old.
*******END FLASHBACK*******
Yuffie remembers that day. She telling Jake that she didn't love him and then he got mad at her and threw a book at her. Yuffie was miserable for days but the only person who cheered her up was Squall.
"Oh, hi Jake!" Yuffie said looking up at him, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Where have you been these last years?"
"Well I've been trying to find you, but since this is a big castle and all, I never found you." He paused and looked down at Yuffie. "Anyways, I just wanted to talk to you. I mean it's been so long and," he paused again, "I was wondering if we could start over again. You know, as friends."
He looked at Yuffie with pleading eyes, and Yuffie couldn't resist. Jake was one of her best friends, of course she wants to friends with him again.
She smiled up at him. "Of course, that'll make me happier."
Jake smiled and kneeled down onto the ground and rested his elbows on the table, looking at Yuffie's book.
"Just like you, to read everyday," Jake smiled at the memory and said, "What book are you reading?"
"Peter Pan," she responded.
Jake laughed lightly and said, "Aren't you sick of that book yet? I mean, you've only read it about ten times."
Yuffie shrugged and grinned. "Well I haven't done any reading in the past four years. I've been busy, you know, since the heartless came. I mean, I soon started getting into fighting-"
"You were fighting?"
Yuffie then told Jake all about her becoming a ninja, and she told of her travels. She told of Sora, Donald, and Goofy and about all of their fights. Jake listened in carefully and laughed and grinned at appropriate times. Yuffie enjoyed telling somebody this, and enjoyed Jake's company.
When Yuffie finished Jake said, "Wow, I didn't think you'd fight. It's amazing. And all I did was sit on a beach all day on this world that I never heard of." Yuffie laughed.
Jake and Yuffie then started reading the rest of Peter Pan together. Yuffie read aloud while Jake sat there on a chair that he got from upstairs, and he listened carefully while also staring into Yuffie beautiful face.
Both of them laughed together and joked together at certain parts, and Yuffie couldn't remember the last time that she enjoyed somebody's company. Besides fighting with Squall though. However, Squall really didn't laugh at as much stuff that Jake did.
When both of them finished reading, Jake offered for Yuffie to eat at a small mini restaurant that Yuffie always goes to. Jake ordered them both dinner under candlelight, and both pf them talked, joked, and laughed together. During their talking, Jake's hand found its way to Yuffie's hand, and their fingers were laced around each other. Yuffie never noticed it.
After dinner, they walked along the castle, laughing and talking some more, both not running out of ideas to say. When they made it to Yuffie's room, both stood outside her door, facing each other.
"I had fun today, thanks," Yuffie said as she smiled up into Jake's tall figure.
Hake smiled back and said, "No problem,"
Both paused, unsure of what to do. Jake finally said, "Well, I'd better go,"
Yuffie nodded. "Alright, good night." Then she did something unexpected, She stood up on her tippy toes and kissed Jake on the cheek. Blushing lightly, Yuffie turned and headed into her room.
While she did that, Squall was down the hall with his mouth opened.
