Thank you bank holiday! Heh, no work today! Scarr, I'm glad to get that kind of reaction from you! ^_^
I just got the script for Cruel Intentions, so maybe I will continue with this to the end, of course, this fic isn't going to exactly follow the movie, but you kinda get the drift where this will all end. Should I start a vote? Anyone who wants Yuffie/Reno to die in the end, say 'aye' or 'nay'. I could end it like the original Dangerous Liaisons where both of the lead dies; it's all up to you, folks!

Yuffie sneezed as she finished fixing her bedroom. It took her almost the entire day to clean her room, something that the young heiress rarely did.
"I'm done," She said quietly as she looked around. It was almost time for dinner, a time that she had been dreading. Which was why she cleaned her room of her clutter. Anything was better than just standing around waiting for tonight to come. She took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.
In an hour, her half-sister, the smart one, the beautiful one, was coming home with her husband of five weeks. Lucrecia Kisaragi-Valentine. She ignored the painful tug in her heart as she surveyed her room, and decided that her pink curtains definitely needed to go.
"Yuffie?"
"Come in, Tifa."
Her cousin walked in and looked in amazement at what Yuffie did to her room. "You've been busy."
"I needed something to do." Yuffie replied as she grabbed a chair and positioned it in front of her window so she can start taking the curtains off, and cursed when she realized she was too short to take it off on her own.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" She replied, straining her body to reach the curtain rod.
Tifa walked closer to her. "Well, they're coming for a visit tonight."
"And?" Yuffie asked as she stopped reaching for the curtain rod to look at her cousin.
"Well, it is Vincent..."
Yuffie snorted. "I'm way over him. It's just a stupid childish crush."
Tifa just nodded, knowing it was pointless to continue this particular conversation. "Do you need help?"
"I just need to take my curtains down. Pink is out." She replied as she hopped down, and Tifa stood on the chair, and had no problems in taking the curtain off. "Hey Tifa, are you doing anything with Cloud tomorrow?"
"No, why do you ask?" She asked Yuffie as she stepped down from the chair.
"Wanna see a movie after my orientation? I want to see that Genesis Warriors, the anime movie..."
Tifa looked at her apologetically. "I already saw it with Cloud, maybe we can watch something else?"
"Ummm, what else is on? Oh, I know... what about that one with all those mecha..."
"War of Sepiroth? That movie sucked."
Yuffie scowled. "Is there a movie you haven't seen?"
"Heaven's Promise seemed good..."
Yuffie blinked. "It's a love story."
"So?" Tifa asked as Yuffie sat on her bed.
"Eeeww, grossness. I don't want to see mushy lovey dovey crap. I want blood, and gore..."
Tifa shook her head. But before she can say anything, a soft knock interrupted her. Both of them turned around to see a beautiful woman standing outside. Tifa beamed as she walked over to the woman. "Lucrecia! Welcome back."
"Hello, Tifa. How are you?"
"Just fine, how..." Tifa stopped as she saw Lucrecia looking over her shoulder. "Actually, I just remembered that I promised Cloud I'll call him, bye." She left, suddenly feeling awkward.
Yuffie didn't say anything as her sister walked inside the room. "How was the cruise?"
"It was good. I heard you got into the scholarship program. Congratulations."
Yuffie nodded as she turned to look at her. "Welcome back."
Lucrecia hesitated before speaking again. "Vincent missed you at the wedding party. You were supposed to have the first dance with him, you know."
Yuffie shrugged. "I had to review. The interview for the scholarship program was the day after your wedding."
The two of them remained silent before Lucrecia walked closer. "You start tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah."
There was another round of silence before Yuffie spoke again. "I'm really tired, I need to get some sleep..."
"Aren't you going to have dinner first?"
"I'm still full." Yuffie replied, looking away. "I'm really tired too... so I guess I'll just see you when you visit again."
Lucrecia nodded sadly. "I understand. Good night, Yuffie."
Yuffie watched as her sister walked out of her room, closing the door behind her. She quickly got up and locked the door.
*-*-
The young woman cursed her father under her breath for forcing her to have breakfast with everyone. It was bad enough to know that Vincent loves her sister, but to see both of them so in-love, she shuddered. She knew she was being childish, but so what? After all, he was her fiancé first, granted, it was arranged... but still, he was her fiancé. Then perfect Lucrecia comes in, and being the favorite daughter, her father transferred the engagement to the better daughter. Yuffie shuddered.
/At least he didn't engage me to that psycho Hojo. Gawd, I would have killed myself if Godo engaged me to that creep./
She was so lost in her thoughts that she never realized she was about to be run over when a screeching of tires brought her out of her reverie.
"Are you fucking blind?"
Yuffie jumped in surprised as she just realized what nearly happened. Her surprise turned to anger as she looked at the driver. "I'm blind? You're the blind one! The speed limit is 50, you jerk!"
Reno snarled in anger as he got out of the car to face the brat that could've wrecked his brand new Jaguar. "You little...."
"What? You want to fight, punk?"
The Turk wanted to laugh. The girl didn't look past sixteen. She was glaring angrily at him, fists clenched tightly. He was about to retort a reply when a male voice interrupted him.
"Yuffie, are you okay?"
She turned around and groaned as her bodyguard ran towards her.
"I'm fine Shake."
Shake Onishi looked suspiciously at Reno. The Turk merely smirked as he walked towards his car. "You'd better pay attention to where you're going kid. You're lucky I'm a good driver."
Yuffie's jaw dropped. "Good driver my ass! You..."
"Yuffie!"
She turned around and faced Shake who was looking at her disapprovingly. "Your orientation starts in a few minutes..."
The two stepped aside as the Jaguar roared past them.
"Stupid jerk."
"That should teach you to leave without any of us. What will your father do if you got hit by that car?"
Yuffie shrugged. "Throw a party?"
"Yuffie!" Shake snapped. "I'm not joking around."
"I'm not either! Come on, Shake. Remember, I'm only his daughter because they told him to 'claim' me. You heard him!"
Shake sighed as Yuffie adjusted her backpack. "I have to go, like you said. Orientation starts soon." She walked away headed towards her campus, and Shake silently followed.
***
She looked at her course outline and wondered what the hell she was doing in this course.
/Oh yeah, him./
Yuffie Kisaragi was only fourteen when she met Vincent Valentine. Ex-Turk, and now partner of Godo Kisaragi in business. The Kisaragi-Valentine Enterprise was the biggest news that year. Under the (secret) deal was that Vincent marries Yuffie when she turns 21. Lucrecia Kisaragi on the other hand, was still engage to another man, Professor Hojo, a leading scientist in the field of biotechnology. It was matches that would ensure positive outcomes for all parties involve.
Love was never part of the equation.
Until Lucrecia and Vincent started spending more time with each other.
To Vincent, Yuffie was a child that he tutored in archery, sharp shooting and English Lit. To Yuffie, he was everything she read about in those romantic tales that she would never admit reading. It was precisely because of Vincent that she decided to become a geologist, something Vincent would have become if he didn't join the Turks.
So now, she was going to spend her entire life studying a course because of a man that never really loved her, but loves her sister instead.
The only good thing about studying geology was that she did enjoy rocks. Especially materia studies, which she planned in majoring in. She took one last look at her hectic schedule and groaned.
***
/I'm hungry./
That same thought filled Yuffie's head as she walked around the mall. After spending five hours at university, she had to admit, she was looking forward to the challenge. But that didn't change the fact that she was starving. She looked around and debated if she should go for the usual fast-food solution, or have something extra special. But then again, her stomach wouldn't last a long wait. Fast-food wins.
She turned around and yelped as she bumped into something, or someone.
"Sweetheart, we really should stop meeting like this."
Yuffie turned red at the unfamiliar voice, and she looked up and her mouth opened in shock. "You!"
Reno grinned at the young girl before him who stepped away and looked at him in anger.
"Hey, babe."
"Don't call me babe, jerk!" Yuffie snapped as she started to walk away. To her annoyance, the redhead followed her. "What the hell do you want?"
Reno grinned. "What? I'm just walking to the food court. What's wrong with that?"
Yuffie narrowed her eyes at the stranger who simply grinned. "Idiot."
She turned her attention away from the annoying jerk and started deciding where to get her lunch. Not that far away, Sasha Mitchell saw the scene with interest. It didn't take her long to recognize who the girl was. Things were definitely getting better. She didn't give a damn about the money, hell, she'd even raise the bet to five hundred thousand gil, if only to see the girl humiliated in public.
Two birds in one stone. What better way to hurt the two lovebirds than to go after their precious little Yuffie?
/I'm coming after your little protégé. After Reno finishes with your little brat, You'd wish you never met me, Vincent Valentine./
-EnD Chapter-
So, how is it? I actually finished a song fic for Breath Away, but until I finish that series, I don't think I'm gonna post the song-fic. It would ruin the ending, lol. Chapter 3 for Breath Away has been posted, to anyone who is interested.
Chapter 4 should be up soon.
I just got the script for Cruel Intentions, so maybe I will continue with this to the end, of course, this fic isn't going to exactly follow the movie, but you kinda get the drift where this will all end. Should I start a vote? Anyone who wants Yuffie/Reno to die in the end, say 'aye' or 'nay'. I could end it like the original Dangerous Liaisons where both of the lead dies; it's all up to you, folks!
