Chapter 10: Leon and Yuffie

Squall Leonheart was a tall man with a tough appearance. He wore black pants and a white t-shirt, with a black jacket on top. Around his neck, there was a silver necklace that looked like the head of a lion.

His dark brown hair almost reached his shoulders, and his eyes were a cold, steely gray.

"Squall! Hurry! They're getting away!" Yuffie yelled to him as she drew out three more shurikens.

"For the last time, its Leon! And who are 'they'?" He yelled back at her.

Squall had changed his first name to Leon a few years ago, and he hated it whenever someone, mainly Yuffie, called him Squall.

"Remember that Riku kid Sora told us about?" Yuffie asked.

"Yeah," Leon answered, "what about him?"

"Well he was just here! He's looking for Sora, and he had this other girl with him!" She yelled.

"That's a good thing! I mean, he's gonna finally see Sora, and he has a girlfriend now!"

"No Squall, bad thing, VERY BAD THING! They're looking for Sora so that when they find him, THEY CAN KILL HIM OR BRING HIM TO ANSEM!!!!"

"Then why are we talking about it Yuffie?!?! Let's go!!!"

With that, Leon and Yuffie chased after Riku and Ari, all the way throwing shurikens and firing the Gunblade.



"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Ari yelled as she barely dodged out of the way of a shuriken. "We need to get out of here!"

"C'mon! Through the First District doors!" Riku exclaimed.

Riku and Ari burst through the doors to the First District of Traverse Town and hid behind a funny looking red mailbox, too busy to notice that Sora and Kairi were right in front of them.

"Hey Riku, why are you-" Sora started.

"Can't talk!" Riku urgently whispered from his hiding place. "We're hiding! And if this girl named Yuffie asks where we are, you have no idea! Ok?"

"Oooooooookaaaaaaaayyyy......" Sora said, very confused as to why two of his friends were hiding behind a mailbox. Just then, the double doors leading from the Third District swung open, showing a mad Leon and Yuffie.

"Sora!" Yuffie yelled as she ran towards him. "Thank God we found you! Riku and this other girl are looking for you!"

"Yuffie," Sora started, but she interrupted him before he could say anything more.

"Look, we need to get you someplace safe, but where could we go....... I know! The waterway!"

"Yuffie-" Sora tried again, but it was no use. Yuffie just interrupted him again.

"Sora, don't think of a plan just yet!" Yuffie said enthusiastically. "I know you're eager to defeat Ansem and everything, but at least wait until we're in a safer pla-" This time it was Yuffie who was interrupted, by Leon.

"YUFFIE," He yelled, "WILL YOU JUST SHUTTUP AND LISTEN TO HIM?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!"

The young ninja immediately stopped talking, and looked over at Sora with a sheepish look on her face.

"Thank you....." Sora said, slightly annoyed. "What I was trying to say, was that Riku and 'that other girl' aren't working for Ansem."

"Oh......." Yuffie replied. "Then I just wasted about six good shurikens!"

"You didn't hurt either of them, did you?!" Kairi exclaimed.

"No no, I would never hurt either of them!" Yuffie said with a nervous smile on her face.

All Kairi could think of as Yuffie said that was, 'What a suck up....'

"Guess we'd better apologize to them then." Leon said as he was looking around the First District. "I wonder where they went......"

"We're right here!" Riku said as he and Ari came out from behind the funny looking mailbox.

Ari smiled at both Leon and Yuffie. Then, noticing that she was holding onto Riku's arm, she immediately let go of him and blushed, as did Riku.

"Well, uh, Squall and I are-" Yuffie started, but Leon interrupted her again.

"That's Leon." He corrected.

"Right," she started again, "Leon and I are sorry that we almost killed you guys, Riku and Ari."

Leon nodded his head in approval as he looked at both Ari and Riku.

"Its ok. I mean, you guys do have a right to be worried about stuff like that. But next time, please do all of us a world of good and get all your facts right before you try to kill anyone, Yuffie!" Ari said, once again forgetting that they were never introduced before.

Leon, dismissing the fact that Ari knew who Yuffie was, nodded his head once again.

Ari raised an eyebrow and stared at Leon with a confused look on her face for a moment before she walked up to him and said "Are you as lively as a rock all the time, or are there actually emotions in there?" She then poked him in the arm, hard.

"Hey! What was that fo-" Leon shouted, but Ari cut him off.

"Hey, you do have emotions!" Ari said with a smile on her face.

As Leon glared angrily at the grinning Ari, Riku, Sora, and Kairi couldn't help but burst out laughing, while Yuffie stifled a small chuckle.

"So, you guys have a place to stay?" Yuffie asked between chuckles.

"No, we just got here." Sora answered.

"Well, it's getting pretty late, so why don't you guys stay with us for the night?" Yuffie suggested.

Leon was about to protest, but before he could say anything, Ari cut him off.

"Sure! We'd love to!"

And at that, the six of them headed off towards the hotel in the Second District.
