"I can't see why you wouldn't want to stay here! The new Midgar is fun!" The shinobi exclaimed upon entering Cloud's place. They had just gotten back from Cloud showing her around the city. They were out the whole day and went to practically every spot that he thought she would like.
The blonde smiled, "Hey I didn't say I hated it, I just get bored being in one spot for too long," he explained.
Yuffie kicked off her shoes and removed her coat, "Where can I put this?" She asked holding her coat in one hand.
"Hall closet," the blonde replied as he walked through the living room. The ninja walked down the hall and looked around before she put her coat away. There were paintings along the wall that caught her eye. She grinned, she didn't know Cloud really cared about that kind of stuff. But as she looked around, she could tell he did. Not unless he had someone like MeiLin shop for him and decorate his apartment. She giggled at that thought before a voice startled her.
"What's so funny?" The ex soldier asked as he placed his jacket in the closet.
"Nothing," Yuffie answered quickly.
Cloud smiled and rolled his eyes jokingly, "Whatever," he replied. The ninja let out a yawn and blinked a few times.
"Are you tired?" Cloud asked.
"A little," she replied. She really had a full day, ever since she woke up she had been on the move, and it was starting to take a toll on her.
"Yeah you should get some rest," he said and began walking down the hall. The ninja followed until they reached the room where she had woken up in earlier this morning.
"You can sleep in here," Cloud said as he pulled a shirt out from a drawer.
Yuffie stopped after she walked into the room a little and looked around, "Is this your room?" she asked curiously.
Cloud nodded, "Yeah I don't have a guest room or anything, so this will have to do."
"Well where are you going to sleep?" She asked innocently.
"On the couch," he replied while shutting the drawer.
Yuffie shook her head, "No Cloud this is your place, I'm not going to kick you out of your own room. I'll sleep on the couch," she explained.
The blonde laughed, "It's okay Yuffie, you're company. Go ahead."
"No," she said again this time more serious, "you're already doing enough, and I don't want to impose. I can sleep on the couch," she said and turned to walk out of the room.
"Yuffie," Cloud said while shaking his head. "Always stubborn."
The shinobi turned around and crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes at him.
The blonde sighed, "Your insulting me by not accepting my offer," he said in a joking way.
Yuffie smiled, "Okay fine! Gawd!" She said while sitting on the bed.
Cloud smiled, "Thank you. If you want anything just help yourself, but I'll be right out front if you need me."
"Thanks," she said with a smile.
"No problem," Cloud replied while walking towards the door, " goodnight."
"Goodnight," Yuffie said with a yawn. Her eyes were already getting heavy. She quickly pulled her hair back and lazily fell onto the bed after turning out the light. She smiled to herself as she snuggled up in the bed. In the blankets she could smell the cologne that Cloud always wore, which made her all the more relaxed. Seconds later she had drifted off to sleep.
She was sitting in the palm of the Dao Chao statue as cool wind blew, ruffling her hair. 'It's so peaceful here', she thought to herself as she took in the night air. 'The only thing that would make this better is Cloud. I should go get him. I mean what's the harm in two friends hanging out and just enjoying the night and each others company?' The Shinobi got up and turned to walk away but was met by a dark figure.
"I can't believe you would actually come back here," the figure said as it walked up slowly to her.
Yuffie gasped, 'It's the same girl I fought in Kalm!'
"This is where your chapter ends Lady Kisiragi," the girl said in an evil tone. She whipped out her sword and charged at Yuffie.
Yuffie tried to stop her and block her attack, but it was to no avail. She grabbed onto the bottom of the girls mask that covered her mouth to try to balance herself as she began to fall backwards. She saw the girls eyes widen as she tore off the mask and fell off of Dao Chao.
The girl became smaller and smaller as the ninja plummeted stories down from the mountain screaming horrifically awaiting her fate.
Yuffie let out a scream as she sat straight up in bed. She was drenched in sweat and was breathing heavily. She ran a shaky hand over her face as she brushed away some strands of lose hair that were sticking to her face.
"Yuffie!?" Cloud asked into the darkness as he entered the room. He walked over to her bedside. The only light was from the moon but he could still see she was terrified. Her eyes were wide and she was breathing heavily and shaking all over.
"Yuffie what's wrong, I heard you scream" Cloud said worriedly as he sat next to her on the bed.
"I had a nightmare...it felt so real. I was in Wutai and that girl came back and...I was on Dao Chao and she tried to attack me and I fell off," She explained still shaking. "It felt so real."
"It's okay it was only a dream," Cloud said trying to comfort the young ninja as he hugged her. "Don't worry, your minds just playing tricks on you."
Yuffie nodded, still a little shaken up from her nightmare.
Cloud pulled back and looked in her eyes, "Are you going to be okay?" he asked.
The ninja nodded, "yeah I'll be fine," she said in a soft voice.
The blonde nodded, "Okay, try to get some rest," he said as he stood up and walked towards the door.
"Cloud?" Yuffie called out to him before he exited.
"Yeah?" he replied while standing in the doorway.
The shinobi sighed and looked around shyly. "Do you think you can stay in here with me? I mean... at least until I fall asleep?"
The blonde stared at his friend for a minute, he hated how this situation was affecting her. But he was also glad that he was the one to help her get through it.
He nodded, "Sure," he said quietly as he walked back over towards her. She slid over allowing him room to get in the bed. He got under the covers as Yuffie squirmed around trying to get comfortable.
He placed his arms around the ninja's waist once she had stopped moving around. He waited a minute to see if she would object to this. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable or invade her space. But she was just fine with it. She placed her hands over his and closed her eyes. She was still shaking a little but after a while she began to relax in his arms. She let out a deep sigh as she snuggled up closer to the ex soldier. She was already beginning to fall asleep, but Cloud wasn't. He just held her in his arms and enjoyed the moment. He smiled to himself once she had completely fallen asleep. She seemed peaceful now, no longer plagued with nightmares. He wondered if it was because he was there. Did she maybe feel a sense of security with him around? He held her tighter as he slowly closed his eyes. 'Does she need me as much as I need her?' He thought before he quickly drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
Authors Notes: Sorry if this chap was a little short. Hehe, all you Cloti and Clouffie fans is the suspense killing you yet? Hehe, don't you just hate not knowing? Lol, review! Will update soon!
