Disclaimer: NO! Unfortunately I don't own the FFVII world but if Squaresoft
is willing to give it up I'll take it ^_^ anyway...any similarity to
another fanfic is purely coincidence I don't steal material from
others..that wouldn't be very nice
*Author's note: This fanfic will mostly be about Reno and Yuffie, I'm not
sure if other FFVII characters will come into play very much or at all.
We'll just have to see ^_~ . oh..by the way..the setting for this chapter
is an open field in Wutai in the early evening hours...ENJOY!!
Chapter One
The young ninja concentrated very hard on the smooth round object that she held in the palm of her hand. The object was glowing dimly, but brightly enough to make out a rainbow of colors. The girl, no older that nineteen, could tell that it was not working properly, so she concentrated even harder. She reached into the depths of her mind and focused solely on the task ahead of her. Slowly the glow began to brighten, only a lttle at first, but then more and more until...
"Busy?" The interruption came as such a shock that Yuffie not only lost complete concentration, but jumped about six feet in the air, sending her materia orb flying through the air. It landed on the ground nearby with a satisfying "thud". Yuffie turned to see who it was that dared to interrupt her, although she already knew perfectly well who it was. "Reno," she growled. He just looked at her innocently. "In the flesh," was his only remark. She continued to glare daggers at him. "What do you want?" He grinned at her, "Just figured I'd come see how my favorite princess of Wutai was doing." She rolled her eyes and sighed, "I'm not a princess, my father is Lord of Wutai, not King." "King, Lord, what's the difference?" He shrugged and walked over to her materia orb. He picked it up, examining it carefully. "What is this thing anyway?" The young and highly annoyed ninja ran over to him and grabbed the materia out of his hands. "Its materia, stupid." "I know that much, but its different." He was right. This materia was different. Reno had never seen anyhing like it. This materia was crystal clear, and he had seen the rainbow glow that it had given off. Yuffie looked at him for a moment. "Yes, it is different. This is an All- Attack materia. You can use this to cast any spell that you want, but it requires a great deal of concentration. I was just on the verge of getting it to work for the first time, something I've been trying for months to do, when you had to come and interrupt me. By the time she had finished, she looked ready to kill Reno again. Reno could tell that she was mad, but he couldn't resist having a little more fun. He wandered over to her and put his arm around her, an act that she responded to by pushing him away. "Aw come on baby," he said,"its just materia. Why don't you give it a rest for a while and come hang out with me. I'll make you forget all about that stupid materia." He winked at her. Yuffie was infuriated , which was just what Reno was going for. "Just materia? Stupid materia? Reno, do you realize just how powerful this thing is? Not that I expect some stuck-up jerk businessman like you to understand." Reno contorted his face into a look of mock hurt. "Jerk businessman? Oh, that hurts so bad. Especially coming from an immature little brat like you." She just glared at him for a moment, then turned and walked briskly away, leaving the Turk leader alone in the dust. He just smirked and laughed to himself. That Yuffie could be mighty fun to piss off.
Yuffie continued to walk, infuriated by Reno. Why did he have to bother her anyway? It was not her fault that her father had hired the Turks to investigate a series of murders that had been occuring in Wutai. So far, four people had been killed. Although they were related in no way, it appeared that they had all been killed by the same person, or group of people for that matter. It really was very strange, she mused. But still, Reno had arrived last week and he had bothered her incessantly since then. She shook her head and continued on her way home.
Whe she finally arrived at her home she stormed into her father's office. Godo, Lord of Wutai, glanced up from his paperwork when he heard the door slam. Noticing that it was only Yuffie, he returned his attention to the papers in front of him. This act further upset Yuffie. "FATHER," she shouted. Godo sighed. Here we go again, he thought. "What is it Yuffie?" As soon as the words were out of him mouth, he regretted it, for Yuffie started off on some insane tirade about Reno. Godo groaned. This was the fifth one this week. When she finally stopped long enough to breathe, Godo said, "Now Yuffie, we've been through this before, the..." "Yeah, yeah I know, the Turks were the only group available because AVALANCHE is busy, and plus Wutai really needs the help," Yuffie cut in. She continued, " I know we really need the help, but its just that Reno is so..." "Charming? Loveable? Wonderful?" Yuffie turned to see Reno standing in the doorway smirking at her. Yuffie looked like she was ready to strangle him. She would have done just that if they had not been interrupted at that very moment by Scotch, one of Lord Godo's assistants. "Godo, come quick," he shouted, "another person has been murdered!"
