Disclaimer: See first chapter.
Horray for me…this it the revised second chapter. I reread it and wanted to add some stuff. So here it is.
Now I can finish writing the next chapter. But just to warn ya….I'm a big procrastinator.


Target Number One:

Tifa – Age 20 – I have a feeling she might be the easiest in the group to take out first. On the outside she seems to be kind and gentle but I know that she's a ruthless killer. She's very attached to Cloud and must be taken out before him for this operation to be successful. She would come to his aid and two is too much for me to handle at this time. Most likely location is it the kitchen preparing a feast for the rest of the vampire crew.

Time to begin the hunt.

Yuffie had selected as her first target, the only female vampire aboard the airship. Besides, the others would probably be sleeping yet. Just because they were all heroes and stuff didn't mean they like to get up early. On a normal day, unlike today, Yuffie too would be fast asleep and dreaming of materia. Taking a deep breath Yuffie opened the door and crept out into the darkness of the airship. It was eerily quiet without everyone running around trying to get stuff done. The only thing that could be heard was the dripping of several pipes. 'Eww Grossness' Yuffie thought as she tried to avoid the leaking of the pipes. She wasn't quite sure what it was that was dripping but she had a pretty good idea and decide she didn't really want to know. With that thought in mind Yuffie went about her current quest.

Creeping as slowly as she could Yuffie proceeded to the cargo hold. Weaving in and out of the boxes she giggled at how much fun she was having already. The gang seldom let her play around like this. As serious as their mission was, they still needed to have a little fun. Didn't they? Maybe that's why they always called her a brat and such. They were just jealous of how much fun she was able to have given the seriousness of the journey they were on. Oh well, all that mattered right now was her mission at hand. Nodding her head in the dark Yuffie continued her journey to the kitchen.

Slowly approaching the kitchen Yuffie could see a faint yellow light flooding out of the door. Sounds of clanging and such were floating out of the kitchen door. Yup, that had to be Tifa. No one else would touch Tifa's prized cooking pans or even know what to do with them. Yuffie took note of this and decided it was time to take action. Slinging the gun over her back, she dropped to her hands and knees. Slowly she made her way to the door and peered cautiously around the doorframe. What she saw was a young woman hurrying around the kitchen and looking rather busy. 'That's her' thought Yuffie to herself satisfied. Tifa was twenty years old. She stood about 5'4" and had long brown hair that almost reached the back of her knees. She wore a short, tight white tank top that clearly showed what she had to offer and a short black leather miniskirt. She used to own a bar in Midgar before it was destroyed; maybe that was why she had a fondness for cooking. Hmm, anyway… Her primary choice of weapon was her fists and although they may not seem deadly she was trained and knows how to use them effectively. Not someone to mess with, unless you knew what you were getting into. Yuffie knew what she was getting into. At least she hoped she did.

Lost in her thoughts Yuffie barely noticed when Tifa started to make her way to the kitchen door. Looking up she realized that any second Tifa would see her and the game would be over. Panicking she looked around for somewhere to hide, anywhere to hide. Thankfully, something in the kitchen at that moment fell onto the floor. Mumbling Tifa turned around to go and pick it up while Yuffie quickly dashed away from the door and dove behind some boxes. In her hurry to regain cover she neglected to keep silent. Yuffie mentally slapped herself for not taking it more slowly. What kind of ninja was she anyway? This was basic ninja stuff, to be able to sneak around unnoticed. And what was she if not a ninja?

"Hey, who's there? Cloud? Is that you? How many times have I told you to stay out of the kitchen until I'm finished!! I don't need you messing around in here again. Now knock it off or you are getting cold beans for breakfast!" Yuffie held her breath as Tifa continued her rating and approached the kitchen door. "Hey!! Where did you go now? If I catch you this frying pan is making contact with your head." Swinging the frying pan around wildly she looked like a mad housewife going on a rampage. Sighing she returned to the kitchen. "Hmm…Maybe it was something else. I better hurry and finish this before anyone else wakes up and interrupts me. I hate to be interrupted." Tifa mumbled to herself. Yuffie let out the breath she had been holding. 'That was a close one, better be more careful next time.' Then she had to hold in a giggle at the sight of Tifa wildly waving the frying pan around. 'So Cloud likes to sneak into the kitchen. Hmmm. I wonder how many times the frying pan has made contact with Clouds head. Hehehe' Anyway… Back to the mission at hand.

Yuffie once again came out from behind the boxes and slowly approached the kitchen door. This time she wasn't going to get distracted. 'Its time to get down to business. The bitch is going down.' Soft humming could be heard from the kitchen as the martial artist continued her cooking. 'She can't fool me with that innocent humming; I know what a ruthless killer she can be.' Yuffie flattened herself to the floor and slowly inched herself through the door. She hid behind the counter and waited to make her move. Fifteen minutes later Yuffie decided that she had had enough. Her legs were starting to cramp from her crouched position and her arm was going numb from keeping herself pressed against the counter. 'Doesn't this girl ever leave the kitchen?' Looking around she saw a small pebble lying on the floor by her feet. 'Perfect'. She situated herself, gun ready, and tossed the pebble out of the kitchen door. The only thing to do next was to wait for Tifa to hear the noise and investigate with her frying pan. And sure enough the young bartender went after the bait and out the door.

"Huh?" Tifa had heard some noise outside of the kitchen again. 'Cloud is going to get it' she thought as she grabbed the frying pan off the counter. 'He's the only one dumb enough to bother me in here.' Making her way quickly to the door she failed to notice the tiny ninja hiding behind the counter. A big mistake on her part.

"HAHAHA DIE VAMPIRE BITCH" Yuffie shouted as she stood up and fired the gun at the stunned woman. Turning around Tifa was shocked by what she saw. She could only describe it as an armed and disgruntled worker, who seemed to possess the voice of someone she knew. But who did the voice belong too? As she was staring and pondering, she felt something hit her in the chest with quite an impact. The force caused her to stumble backwards and fall onto the pile of boxes Yuffie had taken refuge in earlier. Touching the spot where she felt the impact, Tifa pulled back her fingers which were covered in a thick red goo. 'That's not my blood is it? It just doesn't seem right' In the other hand she still clutched the frying pan like a scared child hanging on to their mother. 'What the hell is going on?'

"Got you, evil vampire," came the familiar voice from the mad worker. She was now standing over Tifa with a huge grin upon her face. This was far more fun than she ever imagined it could be. Tifa still stared straight ahead not quite comprehending what was going on. Sliding the goggles onto the top of her head Yuffie set the gun on the floor and leaned in for a closer look.

"Uh Tifa? It's just me Yuffie."

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!! AND WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING ME A VAMPIRE!!!" Grimacing Yuffie stepped back and placed her gloved hands over her ears to help lessen the blow.

"I'm just trying to keep my mind off of airsickness."

"By shooting red goo at my chest?!"

"Well, gawd. I've gotta do something Teef." Yuffie placed her hands on her hips and stared back down and the still shocked girl. The shocked girl looked up her and…well…looked shocked.

"Its just paint."

"I don't care what the fuck it is! Don't shoot it at me!" Tifa shouted as she sparked back to life again. Yuffie decided to stick out her tongue out at the taller girl as Tifa proceeded to stand up and place her hands on her hips like Yuffie had earlier and like most girls do when they are upset about something. Yuffie noticed she was still equipped with the frying pan and prayed to Leviathon that Tifa had forgotten what she still held in her hand.

"And what's with all this vampire business?" Tifa asked the young ninja. Yuffie could tell she was still agitated as she started swinging her frying pan around madly again.

"Its just a little game. Besides don't you think YUFFIE THE VAMPIRE SLAYER has a nice ring to it?" Yuffie responded with an innocent looking grin on her face while stepping back even farther away from Tifa. No one fancies being hit by a frying pan.

"Now don't go and tell anyone else, ok Tifa. I shot you and now you are dead. Besides, would you rather have me leaning over the airship deck? I don't think so." Decideing now would be a good time to lighten Tifa's mood Yuffie tactfully switched subjects. "Any idea where Cloud is?" She asked. "As the leader, I think it would be best if I took him out next." Okay, I guess not really switching subjects but Tifa would like to see Cloud on the floor covered in paint wouldn't she? Hmm, maybe the revenge card would be the right way to play it. "Hey, if it makes you feel better think of this as me getting him back for all the idiotic stupid things he has ever said to you." After hearing that last sentence Tifa decided it would be best to disclose the location of the fearless leader and let him have it. After all she'd been hit by Yuffie why not him as well?

"He should be in the meeting room preparing the stuff he prepares." Tifa said without a moment of hesitation. "Whatever that is," She mumbled under her breath. What was it that he did around here, other than tell people what to do? As much as she cared for him, it would make her happy to see him bombarded with this thick red goo. Sometimes he was just an idiot. And this idiot had it coming.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Yuffie responded with an elegant bow. Walking over to the abandoned gun she picked it up and slung it over her shoulder once again. Readjusting her goggles back over her eyes she glanced back one more time at Tifa and the mess of boxes.

"Now remember, don't go telling anyone and ruining my fun, I'll make it worthwhile for you. Just think of Cloud. Oh and ya better go get clean up…well better yet just try and stay out of sight." Yuffie instructed her older friend. Tifa stood up, nodded to Yuffie, and gave her a quick wink before disappearing into one of the dark hallways of the Highwind.

"Target one eliminated." She whispered to herself and left in the direction of the meeting room.
