Leon
"What the hell Leonhart? What's with the yelling" Cloud called from the Red Room.
"Yuffie" A simple answer.
"What!" the voices of Aerith and Cloud said in unison, followed by a rush of bodies into the hall. Leon was already in the street racing toward the swinging doors of the third district. "Wait Cloud... Leon will bring her back, I know it. Maybe we shouldn't go...I mean, "Aerith blushed "When was the last time that we were alone without Leon?" Catching her drift, Cloud caught her in a tight embrace while shutting the door to their room. (A/N: That wasn't a disturbing thought or anything.)
Meanwhile, Leon had caught up with Yuffie. Well, in a sense anyways. A Defender had blocked Yuffie's path. 'Can she handle them?' Leon thought. A question easily answered as Yuffie whipped out a shruiken and attacked it full force. Diving fireballs and doing back flips while throwing her weapons at it. 'Impressive'
With one final hand whip, the defender busted into a million pieces, leaving in its place a bunch munny. Yuffie wasn't interested in munny right now. And neither was he.
"Yuffie?" he questioned. She turned to face him, surprising him as she took battle pose.
"Move" she responded. Her eyes squinted; her head was tilted down and to the side. She had her hand on a shruiken and she looked threatening. But Leon wasn't scared.
"Yuffie do you remember me?" he growled unintentionally. 'Shit you big dope, she'll leave for sure now. Idiot' Her head tilted up a bit and she laughed a bittersweet laugh.
"You know I really don't know. Is it Squall or Leon nowadays?" She angry replied. "Now move!" 'Was that a hint of pleading in her voice?'
"Leon. I changed it after... after the attack." He answered, "Why are you running Yuf? Why are you hiding dammit!" he shouted at her.
"Don't make me hurt you. I can you know, I'm not a child anymore" backing up her words with actions, she whipped out a shruiken and threw it. With the utmost accuracy, she skimmed his leg, a scratch for a warning. "Next time, I won't miss" she said, "Now move before I force you too"
He took a step closer, as if daring her to follow through. She sighed an exasperated moan. "Damn you Squall!"
"Leon"
"WHATEVER!" she screamed. Then she bolted, jumping on top of a roof, skimming the others on her way towards the doors. And he ran. Faster than he ever had before. 'I will catch you'
"YUFFIE! COME BACK HERE!"
Yuffie
She ran. She had to. He didn't know the pain, he couldn't know. Yuffie pushed through the first district doors; she could hear Leon coming up fast behind her. 'I could outrun him' she thought, but she didn't really have the strength too, she was worn out from the past days events. Escaping, seeing Squall, Aerith and Cloud, knowing Sephiroth was out looking for her. Yuffie knew she couldn't waste time chatting and reminiscing with old friends. Yet she stopped in the middle of the first district and turned to see Squall catching up. 'Time to face the music' she thought.
'Leon' caught up, desperately gasping for air. "When did you get so friggin fast?!" He demanded harshly.
"I learned" simply stated, even a brick could understand. But Leon persisted.
"What happened Yuffie? You used to be so..." he drifted off, searching for a word, she answered for him instead.
"perky, lively, energetic?" He nodded. "It's gone Squall. I've changed"
"It's Leon. What happened to you? I can still see it, in your eyes, the love-life-live-life attitude. Why do you put up a façade?" Harshly he demanded answers.
"Hypocrite" Yuffie growled. 'Damn you, leave me be'
"What?"
"You heard me. You're a hypocrite, a fraud. I see right through you Squall. You say I put up a façade? I hide behind a wall? What about you!? You act all tough as nail 'nobody can hurt me'" she mimicked "but I see right through. I've changed? So have you... 'Leon'. Yah whatever. I don't have to take this from you." She turned to leave.
"I changed it. You wouldn't understand. You never did Yuffie! You don't see right through me. You can say all this bullshit about me, I don't care! Whatever takes your pain away! DO YOU HEAR ME YUFFIE I DON'T CARE!" he roared at her back.
Yuffie turned around abruptly with a death look that would have sent most people on they're way, but Yuffie found one directed right back at her. From Squall. "I wouldn't understand you Squall? I don't get it huh? Is that a fact? You come and chase me down demanding answers to questions I can't tell you. You want to know about my pain Squall? How dare you even ask me about that. You don't even know me. I may have been gone for eleven years, but I still know you. We both know I can see through you" she sneered at him "and that scares you. Your afraid I'll get too close in here" she pointed at her heart. "but you can't hide Squall. I am forever a part of you!"
"Yuffie you don't know shit!" he scowled at her. "you say things like you know what I've been through these past years. Like you know my pain. But you don't know, you don't care Yuffie. Admit it! You don't give a shit!"
' I don't know your pain? You don't know what Sephiroth did to me. I can't tell you either! You ass! Just leave me alone' her thoughts screamed to be voiced, but she couldn't say that. Well she couldn't say it directly at least. "What you've been through? You are a sad man Squall, a small self- centered man who only thinks for himself" she took steps towards him angrily "What about me Squall! Do you even remember who I was left with? You probably don't because you don't care about what happened to me! You were probably happy to get rid of that 'annoying brat'. Weren't you?!" she paused only to get a breath then continued not really paying attention to what she was yelling about. She felt the tears burning at the back of her eyes. 'Ninja's never cry' her inner voice dictated, Yuffie only ignored it. "Sephiroth! Damn him! Is out looking for me right now! I have to leave! Just let me be Squall! You don't know what he's like. You didn't spend eleven years trying to escape him, trying to stop him from hurting you. Did you!?" There was no response and a tear slide down her cheek silently. "DID YOU!?" she screamed at him.
"No" he said silently
"Exactly so don't come up to me and talk about pain. I had to put up with him, I had to be weak under him. I couldn't stop him! No one was there! I was alone Squall! And you come in here and tell me I don't care? Well your right I don't Squall! Is that what you wanted to hear!? DAMN YOU! YOU WEREN'T THERE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MY GUARDIAN!" the tears came freely now "YOU DIDN'T FEEL HIS WRATH! YOU WERENT THE ONE THAT WAS HELPLESS! HE DIDN'T COME INTO YOUR CELL EVERY NIGHT AND RAPE YOU NOW DID HE!?" Yuffie didn't realize what she had said until it came out. She clamped her hand over her mouth and shook her head. Squalls head snapped up and he came to stand in front of her.
"what did you say?" he commanded roughly. Yuffie shook her head violently as a response. "Yuffie! Dammit I can't help you if you don't tell me!"
"you can't help me! Don't you get it! He will kill you, no questions asked!"
"Trouble shared is trouble halved" he responded. 'the rock has a soft side?'
"No Squall, my trouble is not your trouble. I don't want the weight on you. This is my problem. You just...stay away... far far away." She took steps backwards.
"Dammit Yuffie! Will you stop being so involved with your problems and let me help you!" he said.
"NO!" 'you will make it all worse. Go away!' she pleaded silently.
He walked up close to her, his face right in her face. Challenging her to dare speak up to him. "yes" he hissed. Yuffie was about to argue back, but Squall brought his lips to hers to stop her. She jerked back as if it burned her.
"Stay away"
