Stuck Together

Chapter 3: Blizzard

*~*~*~*~*

*********Yuffie's POV********

I shivered as the wind swept through my jacket and into my skin.

Squall and I were trying our best at coming down the mountain. The cut on my left arm was still there, and I had nothing to cure it. My jacket was ripped open right there, so I got most of the wind going right there.

Now I know what mountain climbers feel like. Squall and I were climbing down the steep parts of the mountain. All there was was this icy wall and nothing below you except the ground that is hundreds of feet below you.

Very comforting, I thought sarcastically.

I almost slipped a couple of times coming down, but Squall was there to hold me in place against the wall.

The wall that we were climbing down on was slippery, and my bare hands felt cold as I dug my hand into the icy snow so I would stay in place. I'm not sure of how Squall was so good at this, but I know I've never done this in my life before.

The wind seemed to be picking up since we were on the top of the mountain. Snow was coming down now, and it's getting harder to grip the wall. My heart is beating fast, and my breath is coming out in a little fog.

I looked down and saw ground below me not too far below. Squall was under me, climbing down easily. I groaned and continued my way down.

Soon Squall was on the ground and waited for me. The wind was really blowing and I was afraid that my jacket would rip off. My hair was flying in all directions and my legs felt frozen, but somehow they kept moving.

I jumped down and landed in soft snow. Good thing I had my boots on, or else my feet would feel frozen too.

I quickly put my hands in my pockets and said, "It's getting colder out."

Squall nodded and started walking away. I walked along side him, shivering. My jacket was usually warm, but here it was just like a thin tank top.

My teeth started chattering as we walked along. I didn't say anything, but in my mind it was screaming to get warm. I felt that if I take even one button off of my jacket, then I would freeze into an icicle right then and there.

I could feel Squall's eyes on me, but I was to frozen to turn my head and look at him.

"Here," Squall said, handing me his leather jacket. I looked at him and saw that he was wearing a long sleeve white shirt.

"Wont you get cold?" I asked.

He shook his head and put the jacket around me. (A/N: Aaaawwww! Lol.)

We continued walking side by side, our arms touching. His leather jacket really kept my upper body warm, but I was worried if Squall was getting cold.

Soon the snow was coming down hard. I could barely see, but with Squalls arm next to min, I could just follow him. The wind was blowing through my hair lifting it off of my shoulders.

"Can you see?" I asked, squinting my eyes.

"No,"

We walked along not seeing where we were going. The snow was coming down hard and all I CAN see is white. Nothing else.

Squall took hold of my arm, "Look," he said. I looked around when he said, "There's a cave over there, come on."

His arm led me into a dark cave. It was kind of small, around the size of the Accessory Shop in Traverse Town.

It was warm inside. I kept his jacket on, and looked around. The cave had a few rocks that were like chairs and they were all over the place.

I looked toward the mouth of the cave and the snow was coming down hard. It was amazing that Squall even saw this place.

"Is there a blizzard outside?" I asked as Squall and I went and sat down on some rocks that were next to each other.

"Seems like it," he said in his usual emotionless tone.

We sat there for a moment. I was trying to take in everything that happened so far. We landed on this place, wolf like things attacked us, we got stranded, climbing down a dangerous wall, and walking in a blizzard.

I sighed as I leaned back. The wall was right there to support my back as I still sat on the rock.

Then something puzzled me.

"Squall?" I asked, wanting to ask him this question for a long time. I looked over at him as he looked at me.

"It's Leon," I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Why did you change your name to Leon?"

Squall sighed and put his forehead into his hand. He rubbed his temples and said, "Why do you want to know?"

I shrugged. "Just wondering,"

Squall looked back up at me and said, "I changed my name the day we had to leave Hollow Bastion when the heartless attacked. I remember that day, when all of a sudden people were screaming and running around. Then I went and tried to fight them off. I had gotten many, but there was still too many.

"Then I knew we had to leave. I thought of myself as one of the greatest swordsmen's back then. I thought I was the best. But when I was unable to defeat the heartless when they attacked, well, I got angry with myself. I didn't want everyone to think of me as weak, or even scared. That's when I changed my name from the weak Squall to the strong Leon who could actually fight the heartless."

"But, Squall-"

"Leon,"

"Who cares? Anyway, people don't care if your weak, that's just stupid." I paused. "Well at least I don't care if your weak or not because I know your one of the strongest people I've met."

I was sitting Indian style on the rock as Squall leaned back in the wall with his legs crossed. He looked at me, and I just looked away, slightly blushing.

He didn't say anything.

I heard my stomach growl. "Do we by some chance have anything to eat?" I asked.

Squall shook his head. I groaned and looked around the cave. There was nothing.

I leaned back into the wall, and soon drifted off to sleep.
