I'm all for it
Footsteps..........breathing.........raindrops.
In a dark city street of cobblestone pathways and tall buildings reaching the heavens. Neon Lights were flashing in the darkness as raindrops came to a sudden halt on the ground, leaving pools of water. In the distance, footsteps were heard, rushing past buildings of shops. The figure of the young girl of 11 ran past and as fast as she could looking over her shoulder ever once and a while checking to see if anyone was following her.
She kept running and running and running until suddenly a foot came out of no where and tripped her over having her fall hard on the ground into a state of unconscious...........
A girl awoke in the middle of the night. Eyes wide-open, cold sweet appearing on her forehead and breathing hard like she just ran in a 14k run. She stared blankly at what was in front of her vision. Other beds and other children occupying those beds musty crack filled walls and drips of water. Kids she knew. Some she didn't. But the faces that were in front of her, she knew alright as with other kids that they were of her friends. They all lived in an orphanage. Yuffie sat up and looked at the clock across the room. 4:15 am.
'Geezus. I guess I won't be getting back to sleep.' She got out of bed and headed towards the bathrooms at the bottom floor. She walked down the stairs, past all the other rooms of other occupants, down the corridor and into the bathroom. Turning on the hot water, which would only last for about 5 minutes. As she turned it on, thoughts ran past her mind about the dream. About how after she woke up she found herself in the orphanage. She never knew who had tripped her.
' Maybe it was an accident. But then why was I in the orphanage and not a hospital or anything'
"Yuffie Kisaragi?" Said an old nun
"huh? Whos that?"
"By this pendent, it would appear to be your name"
"Is that ... who I am"
"My dear, you must be suffering from amnesia. Don't worry dear. I'm sure your memories will return"
"Urgh...Why can't I remember anything, that was 5 years ago and I can't remember anything past that dream" Breathlessly taking it out on no one as the showers were empty.
In no time at all the hot water disappeared and Yuffie was left with a cold shower in the middle of winter of Twilight Town. She jumped out, dried off and got changed into her black cargo pants and a green top with buckle straps and a black jacket. Slipping on her combat boots and white headband.
Walking back up to the room she looked up at the clock as it read 4:45am. Heaving a sigh she went over to her bead and crouched down onto the floor and looked underneath her bed. A small chest layed there. As she took it out and poured its contents out onto the bed, she looked over her small amount of possessions. Photos of her orphanage friends, cards from her birthdays and Christmas. Her shrunkens in a small belt pouch, she usually polished daily. Not knowing why, just a feeling that it should be. Some small coins and notes that she snuck in for herself.
In order for her and the other orphans to stay and be ALIVE and well, they had to get money or something valuable, i.e. thief. Top 2 thieves would have to be her and Rikku. An Al bhed girl with blonde hair up in a high pony with several small plaits and a purple, enormous headband to keep her hair out of her face which doesn't really help as she has bangs in front of her face half the time. She wore a really short green skirt, a bikini top and loose combat boots with bow arm warmers. She is crazy, some hyper chick helpin out her cousin and wearing such small amount of clothing at this time. At least she wears a scarf that comes down past her knees. But they are good friends.
Her other friends were of all sorts. Tidus, Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, Zidane, and Dagger. All close friends, helping each other out in everything.
Anyway back to the present, Yuffie reached through her contents to find what she was looking for. Her skateboard, a pair of leather gloves, her sunnies and put the other contents back in the chest and under her bed and ran for the stairs decided that she would go for an early run or skate.
"Yuffie?? Wakie wakie, time for breakie?" Called out a blonde al bhed in the room. "Hmm strange...she's not in her bed or room, or the showers"
"Hey Tidus have ya seen Yuffie anywhere?" Asking Tidus as he walked into the room
"I think she left for a skate at like 5:00 this morning. I heard her this morning heading down the stairs on her skateboard"
"Hmm well then we should go too!!" and so bouncing up and down and then running off towards her room and grabbin her board as Tidus did the same they both headed down stairs and out the door before the "guardian" could catch em.
The breeze in my hair, the early sounds of the morning. NO worry in the world...I wish. sigh.
'What am I doing here. What am I supposed to do other than live a criminal life for some sick bastard. What am I doing here...'
Yuffie was skatin down the streets of Twilight Town. Not having a care in the world for the people complaining about her rudeness of nearly running them over. She skated all the way to the park. She hopped off her skate bored and started walking with her head looking to the ground thinking of what she was going to do today. ' should I steal from some old lady or kid or someone, food maybe. I am hungry but nah. Maybe later.....how about act like a poor pathetic kid with an injury....nah too much work. Eh I'll just steal from the next person I see that's slightly appealing'
Yuffie looked back up to see that she was headed towards the end of the park and across the street she could see a shop. No a restaurant. An expensive restaurant. A couple walked out of the restaurant. The guys arm was around a brunette's shoulder. Thinking that the couple must be rich, she took her skateboard and speed down the pathway of the park and across the street behind the couple making sure not to be seen. She was going to make it look like an accident like all the other victims. She would crash into them and steal their wallets. Yuffie slowed down a bit behind the couple to locate the wallet. It was in the mans pocket. She would have to grab the wallet first then immediately crash into them. That's the plan
She were only a few feet behind them, she could make out what they were saying.
"Cloud that was a wonderful breakfast. But you know we could have just gone to the movies I wouldn't have minded" Said the Brunette
"Nah. I wanted to do something special for you Aerith" The Blond replied
' ok ...3...2...1' CRASH!!!!!!!
"Oh geez sorry man, I could stop. I guess I was going too fast. Please forgive me. I am terribly sorry" Pleaded Yuffie innocently like a 9 year old child
"Its... alright. It was just an accident, rite kid" Cloud replied
"Thanks. Well CYA" and Yuffie hopped back on her skateboard and speed away with the wallet in her belt pocket on her back.
"HEY WAIT! YOU LITTLE THEIF" Cloud yelled running after her and leaving the brunette standing there for her safety
"OHHH" Yuffie speed up faster in order to get away from the man. "Man he's faster!" going down the street and knocking people down on the way to get away as fast as she could and loose him. Turning down corners and crossing streets but still the man was on her tail like a hawk.......
Back with Aerith
"Whoa, Aerith. Wheres Cloud going so fast?" Asked a 14 year old boy
"Oh good you guys are here. Leon can you please help Cloud. Some kid crashed into him and stole his money! And Sora, Riku try to help to" The 14 year old boy named Sora and Riku ran ahead after Leon who had already went speeding ahead to catch up
Tidus
"Hey, there's Yuffie...HEY YUFFIE!!!" Tidus waved wildly.
"I don't think she can hear you since she is being chased by some guys. I think she stole something" Said Rikku in a sing song voice
"Typical Yuffie. Well let's go help her. You stop the 2 smaller ones and I'll stop the big guys" Ordered Tidus and they both split up
"Oh great now I have four guys after me. I'm dead" Yuffie looked back and saw two tall males one blonde and one with long brown hair and two younger ones one with silver hair and the other brown. They all were close "What am I going to do" Yuffie went past a store and could have sworn she saw Rikku there or a look alike in the doorway.
Rikku looked out the door and saw the men chasing Yuffie. She waited for the older guys to pass then stuck her foot out in front the the younger ones to make them fall over. Then making sure they didn't get back up she sat on the two of them as they were yelling to get up. Rikku smiled proudly
Meanwhile as Yuffie turned a corner and looked back she only saw 2 men chasing after her. 'Hmm so Rikku was there. She must have stopped the other 2. Note to self. Thank Rikku big time'. Since the street she was on was on a hill. She went speeding down the hill loosing the 2 guys almost instantly. But they didn't give up. They speed up after her too. Almost like an inhuman speed. Thinking back to how Rikku helped out. Tidus must be around too since the pair are never seen without the other. So therefore Tidus must be hiding out somewhere. Most likely the next alley as it was the usual plan to hide out on the ally of 3rd street. Which coincidently she was on. So she crossed the street and speed down the rest of the hill and when she came to flat ground, Yuffie quickly turned into the alley and being right. She saw Tidus there relaxing on the wall and smirking.
Yuffie went to the end of the Alley and waited there for Tidus to finish the job. As the 2 men rounded to the alley Tidus did a full out punch to the 2 making them bend over in pain.
"Thanks man. I coulda been a goner if it wasn't for you two" Said Yuffie gratefully as they walked out of the alleyway and walked up the hill.
"No prob. Where always looking out for ya. No worries. So what were you doing out anyway. Without a word" Tidus replied
"OH I just wanted sometime to think. Ya know about the usual" Yuffie laughed at Tidus's confusion. He didn't seem to understand "the usual" and then it clicked on him. "OH!!! Right. Got ya"
"TIDUS...YUFFIE. RUN!!!!" Cried out a hysterical Rikku as she ran hurriedly behind the 2 youngsters chasing Yuffie before. Yuffie looked behind her and saw the 2 older man running up the hill. She stood there wide-eyed as Tidus stood behind also in shock...
"HEY I SAID RUN"
"Split up!!" Cried out Yuffie as she ran in one direction and Tidus in the other. Towards the 2 younger boys to stop them from getting to Yuffie and Rikku did the same.
Yuffie was getting tired. ' No. I can't ...... stop.... I can't let them catch ......me' Yuffie looked back to see only one of them the brunette. She didn't have much time to wonder what happened to the other guy when she bumped into someone in front and they got hold of her.
"Got you now ya brat"
"LET GO"
"Great plan Cloud," said the brunette
Yuffie glared at the 2 men as she tried getting out of his grip. " Let... me... go... or...else"
"Or else what. Your trapped little girl, and we are going to take you to the police" Said Cloud.
"And what will they do. Put me in an orphanage. Too late buddy boy. I'm already in one. They won't do anything except sit on their butts and write a report. Wow"
"The orphanage isn't your only choice of punishment"
"You could be sent to jovial"
"Do it then"... ' Its better then living with a maniac who would do anything to get money' Yuffie stared hard at the Clouds eyes as if daring him to do his best worst
A moments silence past after Yuffie whispered to them to take her to the police and send her to Jovial.... "Kid what business do you have stealing money. Doesn't your orphanage provide food and clothing...." Yuffie didn't answer the question she just glared harder if that was possible.
"Well?"
"Well what. You want me to give you my life story. Sorry but that's my business"
"Whatever. Let her go Strife." Cloud, thought hesitantly let her go making her fall straight to the ground on her behind making her wince in pain.
The two men started walking with her back to her friends. When they found them the four of them. Riku, Sora, Rikku and Tidus were all in a pile all tangled up. Yuffie couldn't help but giggle a little and roll her eyes as she helped Tidus and Rikku up.
"Lets go" Yuffie commanded
"Hold up, aren't you forgettin something" Said Cloud
"uhhhh. No" Yuffie said innocently
"My wallet"
"Cloud give it up. You have nothing in there cept a few cash"
"But....urgh fine. Scram"
"Thanks mister" Said Rikku. The two groups left at different directions depending on where they were going.
"So. Oh hey. Did you hear. The government is giving a kind of program where the orphanage gets to go to a school for free. It's for some publicity thing for the elections. So we get to go to school!!" Rikku said excitedly
There was silence between the three. It wasn't really the most uplifting news to hear.
"It'll be better than scabbing money on the streets everyday. Now we only have to do it at night.
"What school"
"Twilight High"
Tidus and Yuffie both groaned. Twilight High was the most uptight snobbish high school on the planet. They even wore uniforms and they were full of families of the wealthy variety"
"Wow.... We get to go to a place full of uptight snobs...in uniforms," said Yuffie sarcastically. 'great'...............
Footsteps..........breathing.........raindrops.
In a dark city street of cobblestone pathways and tall buildings reaching the heavens.
