After Storm
Diclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts.
Yuffie closed the wooden door behind her silently. She laid on the bed and closed her eyes. It is raining heavily out side. Not a bit of sunlight is visible. Just like how she feels now.
Yes, she had another fight again. This time, not only with Squall, but also Aerith.
Squall is just plainly mean to her. He is too cold, emotionless, and well, hard head. She just wanted to help him, get him out of his shelf, his own barrier, let him see that the world is still worth for him, that there are people willing to be there for him, people like her, even though he claimed that he 'failed protecting Hollow Bastion'. But no, not only he didn't see that, he ended up accusing her of trying to replace Rinoa.
'Hummp, more like he sulk just because he failed protecting Rinoa... not the people of Hollow Bastion.' Yuffie mused.
She would never thought of that. She won't even dare. How can she compare herself with the beautiful and kind Rinoa? She wasn't even ...
Yuffie let out a heavy sigh. She just wanted to help. A tear escaped her eye. Yuffie took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but more tears keep coming non-stop instead.
The heavy rain is developing into a big storm gradually.
She is used to argue and being accused by Squall. But this time, he had over done it. What he had said to her, it is just too much for her to bear.
What hurt her more is that Aerith stands with Squall. She thought Aerith would understands. Aerith is the same kind of person as Rinoa. Kind, beautiful, good-hearted, nice temper and manners, everything that Yuffie isn't. She knows that Aerith cared for her. Aerith cares for her well being very much...too much that she neglects the fact that Yuffie has grown up. She keeps treating her like a child. She wasn't a child anymore. She is a 17 teenager now. Why can't Squall and Aerith see that?
What was the reason they fight again? Oh yes. She and Squall went into another issue of 'trying to help' and 'trying to replace Rinoa'. And this time, Aerith poked her nose into the arguement 'for Yuffie's own good' as she claimed and stand on Squall's side, saying Yuffie wasn't mature enough to think. And that is just too much for her. She couldn't take it anymore that she blew up on both of them.
Thunders start to roam the sky of Hollow Bastion together with a few strokes of lightning. 'That's just great. First rain, and now storm and thunder' Yuffie thought ' just what I need to light up my day.'
Not being able to hold off her tears, she let out a few weak sobs. She thought that everything would be better when they moved back to Hollow Bastion. Well, at least everything seems like that the first few weeks. Cloud came back, the keyhole being sealed, no more heartless... but no, everything just seems wrong to her. Maybe the only thing that can help her and get her out of this messy life of hers is a miracle.
"Go away..." she wanted to yelled but found that she had no more energy to do so.
"Yuff... open up." Yuffie froze and her eyes grew wide...
That voice, she knew that voice so well.... once... a long time ago....
Could it be...?
"It's me. I'm back..."
More tears flow out but it is visible that her lips formed a small smile subconsciously. Maybe the miracle she needs is finally here...
Outside, the rain has stopped and small streams of sunlight begins to peak through the heavy clouds...
AN: So how? Like it? This is my first fic and I hope it won't be that bad. Well, this suppose to be a one-shot. Depends on wheater you all like it or not. Hehe..
