And also sorries to Yuffie/Leon fans (although I do like the coupling)... I'm a Rinoa/Squall fan... I've been playing FFVIII and the space scene was just so kawaii and he did say he was falling for her and all...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Normal P.O.V.
As Squall and Rinoa are reunited outside in the flower field, they were being watched from inside the gummi ship, "Aww... I didn't know Squall had someone waiting for him... Kawaii..." Amaya said dreamily as she watched the scene from a porthole window.
"Lemme see!" Yuffie said as she shoved Amaya away from the small window and peeked out, 'Squall... Why didn't you tell us...? Or me?' Yuffie thought as she felt a slight twinge of hurt in heart.
Amaya dusted herself off and glared at Yuffie, preparing a spell to cast on her, 'Wait... It'd be childish if I attacked for pushing me...' Amaya sighed inwardly as she sat down in a seat and looked over at Riku, 'Why is it that what he said won't go away... It's like it's engraved in my brain and it's annoying!'
Yuffie watched the scene progress outside as Rinoa wrapped her arms around Squall's neck and he pulled her close to him. Yuffie looked away, 'I can't take this... What's wrong with me? When did I start have feelings for him...? This hurts... Too much... I need to be alone...' Yuffie thought as she left the gummi ship.
"Yuffie?" Kairi said as she tried to stop Yuffie from leaving, "Hey, where are you going? Wa-" Cloud put his hand on Kairi's shoulder.
"Let her go," Cloud said quietly.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Yuffie runs through the flower field and ends up on a beach. She stops to catch her breath but falls to her knees crying, 'I'm such fool... Crying over someone I thought I had... Maybe if I wouldn't have annoyed him so much, I might have had a chance...' Yuffie thought as she sobbed into her hands.
"What's wrong with you?" a voice said behind Yuffie.
Yuffie wiped her eyes and looked up to the blonde man who the voice belonged to, "Are you going to answer?" he asked.
Yuffie glared through her teary eyes and stood up but fell forward. The man caught her and looked at her limp body, 'Hm... Guess I should bring her back to Ragnarok...' he thought as he put one arm around her shoulders and the other under her knees, 'Could this night get any better,' he thought sarcastically as he walked down the beach towards Ragnarok.
~*~*~*~*~*~
A brunette haired young women leans against the window of the Ragnarok staring out towards the flower field, "What are ya lookin' at, Sefie?"
The woman turned to the man, "Nothin', Irvy... It looks like someone is out there with Rin..."
"Really? Who?" Irvine asked looking out the window beside her.
"Hm... Dunno, but it looks like they're hugging..."
"Maybe Seifer got through to her...?"
"I didn't," a voice said from behind.
Selphie and Irvine turned to see Seifer holding Yuffie, "Then who is it?" Selphie wondered as she looked out the window straining to see the person with Rinoa.
Irvine noticed the woman in Seifer's arms, "Ooh, who's this pretty lil lady?"
"Don't know," Seifer answered as he laid her in a chair, "I found her crying on the beach and then she collapsed,"
"Hm... Wonder who she could be... And with such skimpy clothes..." Irvine said with a bit of a smirk.
Selphie turned around and whapped Irvine upside the head, "Irvine!"
"Ow... Sorry, Selphie..." Irvine said as he rubbed his head.
"Who's out there with Rinoa?" Seifer asked as he looked out the window.
"We thought it was you... But since it's not, we don't know..." Selphie answered.
Seifer peered out further and saw the glimmer of Squall's gunblade and smirked, 'He came back... Squall, you better not leave her again, she was miserable enough when you were gone once... She can't go through that pain again,' Seifer thought as he began to leave the room.
"Heeey! Seifer, why are you smirking? Do you know who's out there?" Selphie shrieked and ran over to Seifer to look him straight in the face, "You do know! Who is it!?"
"Who else? It's puberty boy," Seifer answered, still smirking.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh, Squall... I've missed you so much... I've been waiting out here in the flower field... Waiting for you..." Rinoa said happily snuggling into his chest.
Squall smiled, "...I missed you, too..."
At those words Rinoa's eyes lit up as her smile grew, "Squall..." then she whispered, "I love you..."
Squall's eyes widened and he looked down at her, "I..." he said and gained more confidence, "I love you, too, Rinoa..."
Rinoa's smile couldn't grow any more, "Oh, Squall..." Rinoa wrapped her arms around Squall's neck, kissing him softly as he kissed back.
A whistle and a 'Whoo-hoo!' were heard from behind the kissing couple. Rinoa and Squall parted to see a smiling Irvine and an overly excited Selphie, "Finally!" Irvine and Selphie said in unison.
Rinoa smiled as Squall sauntered over to Irvine, "What do you mean 'Finally'?"
"Duh! We've all been waiting for you to come back and profess your love to Rinoa!" Selphie said as if it was so very obvious.
"Congrats, man! You two should be very happy together!" Irvine said with a hit on the back and a suggestive wink.
"Right... Whatever" Squall said in his monotone voice as Rinoa began to giggle as Selphie and Irvine joined her. Squall shook his head, 'Can't believe I missed these knuckleheads... But I did... Especially, Rinoa,' Squall thought as he joined in their laughing.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Back at the gummi ship, the group decided to get some sleep and go see where Squall and ran of to in the morning considering they were both skilled fighters that could take care of themselves if something were to happen. Almost everyone was asleep except for a pair of teens.
Amaya was lying in one of the bedrooms she had forgotten to mention to the others before they dozed off, trying to sleep only to find her attempts futile. She sighed, rolling off the bed to her feet, and strolled over to the door, peeking out. She saw Clara's head lying on the controls, Sora and Kairi leaning on each other on one couch, Leiko sitting in the corner on the floor leaning against a wall, and Cloud sitting on the couch with his head tilted to the side leaning on a wall for support.
'One, two, three, four, five,' Amaya counted each person, 'six including me and seven and eight for Leon and Yuffie... Who's missing?'
"What are you doing?" a voice said from the shadows making Amaya jump.
"Riku!" Amaya whispered loudly turning to Riku, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Can't," Riku said curtly leaning against the doorway to the cabin, running his hand through his tousled silver hair, "What's your excuse?"
"Neither could I... I just keep thinking about that Ansem guy... I wonder why he left when I summoned the aeon... If the Keyblade couldn't harm him, how could an aeon?"
"Dunno, maybe the magic repels him..." Riku offered.
"Maybe... But if he was SO powerful, I don't think it would have phased him..."
"He might not have all his power, when Sora last fought him, he exposed him to the light... It had to have weakened him a great deal, if not, we're in deep trouble..."
"Yeah" Amaya sighed and then the sigh turned into yawn.
"You should get some sleep..." Riku said as she yawned.
Amaya nodded and started to walk to her room but stopped, looking over her shoulder, "Thanks for calming my nerves, Riku... I think I can get to sleep now..." Amaya said with a smile.
"No problem" Riku smiled slightly as they both went they're separate ways, her to her bed and Riku to the room left on the couch Cloud sleeping on.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"I absolutely loathe this!" a voice bellowed though catacombs of the newly restored Hellmouth crater.
"You wanted a world with a place that no one would suspect that you were around and you got it!" a petite blonde 22 year old woman yelled to the angry silver-haired man as her form shifted from a petite blonde woman to a peroxide blonde vampire in leather, "Don't get your knickers in a twist jus' 'cause you bollixed up getting Hollow Bastion back under your high n' mighty rule!" the British accent clear in his voice.
Ansem ignored the sarcastic comments, "Has the queen fallen under our control like her king, yet?"
"'Course! Why wouldn't she be? Her powers that stopped it before are bloody useless on the Hellmouth!" the vampire said crossing his arms as he switched into the form of a raven haired vampire, "It's perfect, Miss Edith and the stars told me so" she said in her accented voice.
"Could you stay in one form for once!" Ansem yelled.
She switched again only to be a curly haired blonde hell god, "Nah, this is to much fun, and plus, if you had THIS many forms to choose from you'd keep changing too. And the selection just gets bigger with all the people those Heartless kill!"
"Why did I agree to work with the likes of you?" Ansem muttered.
Switching her form, yet again, to the petite blonde she first appeared as, "Because of the power, I have it, you don't," she shrugged, "Then there is also the fact that I've been incorporeal some time before you and now you are too, so we might as well help each other become corporeal so you get your door to eternal darkness and all that, and I can open the Hellmouth hear in good ol'e Sunnyhell and killing all the slayers, can't forget that, oh, of course, and revenge on her," the woman said signifying the body she was currently in, then switching to the bleach blonde vampire, "and him," he finished with the smirk that the vampire was so well known for.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Beep, beep, beep!
A hand reached out from under the covers hitting the alarm, which read 7:25am, as Amaya fell out of bed with thump.
"Ow..." Amaya said rubbing her head and getting to her feet. She went into her closet changing into a new outfit. She slipped her shoes and ran into the kitchen, planning to make breakfast for the others but she bumped into someone.
"Gomen nasai, Riku" Amaya apologized as she took out some pots and pans.
"Need help?" Riku said as he saw Amaya balancing too many pots and pans.
"No..." Amaya said as she fell backwards almost dropping the pots and pans to the ground if it weren't for a pair of strong arms around her waist catching her fall.
Amaya blushed, "Thanks..."
Riku nodded and took some of the pots from Amaya, "I don't think you need all this to cook breakfast,"
Amaya put some of the pans away, "Yeah, I guess not..." she said, embarrassed, "Maybe I should just go the easy way and give them fruit and cereal?"
"That might be a good idea," Riku said as he put the pots and pans away and took out the bowls and cups from a cabinet.
Amaya went to the refrigerator pulling out some bananas, apples, and pomegranates along with milk and orange juice. As Riku set up the bowls and glasses, Amaya took out several cereal boxes placing them in the middle of the table with the fruit and drinks. After a few minutes the table was completely set and ready.
Amaya stepped away from the table and looked at it, "Wow, we did good, Riku, didn't we?"
"Yeah" Riku said after looking the table once over, "They'll like it, Amaya"
She smiled and then turned to the door, "Guys! Breakfast!"
Sora's head perked up, "Breakfast! Where?" he said as he fell off the couch with Kairi falling along with him.
Kairi lifted herself up, holding her head, "Sora..." she moaned, "Why do you always think with your stomach..."
"Heheh..." Sora chuckled nervously rubbing the back of is neck, "I guess my stomach is more awake then my brain this morning..."
Kairi pulled herself up and helped Sora up, "Isn't it always?" she joked.
"Hey! Is not!" Sora said in mock anger.
Kairi giggled, "I was just kidding, Sora"
Amaya cleared her throat causing Sora and Kairi to turn around, "Sorry to interrupt your flirting but breakfast waiting"
"We weren't flirting!" Kairi and Sora said in unison as they blushed.
Amaya rolled her eyes as she nudged Clara awake, "Yeah... Right..." Amaya said as she walked over to Cloud and Leiko, "Wake up you two! Breakfast is ready"
Leiko's eyes shot open abruptly causing Amaya to jump in surprise, "I heard you the first time, imouto," Leiko said as she lifted herself up with her sword and stretched out her arms.
While Leiko had pulled herself up, Cloud had gotten up and headed to the kitchen with Sora and Kairi. Clara had gotten out of the pilot's seat and slowly trudged to the kitchen, rubbing sleep out of her eyes. Amaya and Leiko walked in after her as they all took seats at the table and began to pour cereal into their bowls and juice into cups.
~*~*~*~*~*~
A moan escaped Yuffie's lips as she sat up. Her head pounded as she tried to figure out where she was. "Augh..." she groaned, "Where the hell am I..."
"On the Ragnarok" a mysterious yet familiar voice said from behind her.
Yuffie turned to see a familiar face that matched up with the voice, "Squall!" she exclaimed as jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Squall was surprised at her reaction, "Hey, Yuffie... Seifer said he found you crying on the beach, what's wrong?"
Yuffie looked down, "It's nothing..." then she remembered something that made her angry, "Why didn't you tell me about your 'girlfriend'?" she said with her voice tinged with jealousy but she hadn't noticed.
"Rinoa? She wasn't my girlfriend..." Squall said slowly.
Yuffie raised a skeptical eyebrow, "And now she is then..." she said sadly.
"...Yeah... I never thought I'd see Rinoa again... She waited where I'd promised she'd find me... I've been gone so long and she still waited..."
Yuffie smiled sadly, 'He's happy... He's actually smiling... He must really love this Rinoa... And I guess the feeling is mutual...' Yuffie thought as she swallowed the lump in her throat, "I hope you two...are happy together..." Yuffie said covering her feelings and trying to be happy for him.
The door opened from behind Squall, "Squall! You're alive!" a male voice exclaimed.
"So, this is why Rinoa came back inside..." another voice but this time it was female, "Welcome back Squall"
"Zell, Quistis,"
Zell smiled and pulled Squall into a hug, "Man! What happen to ya?"
Quistis shook her head, "Zell, he might be more responsive he wasn't in your death grip..."
Zell let go, "Heheh, sorry Squall... So, where've you been?"
"Around," Squall answered trying not to divulge information about the other worlds, they'd be better off not knowing.
"Aw... C'mon! after all we've been through you're not gonna tell us?" Zell said hanging his head.
"You'll better off not knowing..." Yuffie said, making her prescience known.
"Who is she, Squall?" Quistis asked.
"I'm Yuffie, nice to meet you uh..." Yuffie said offering her hand to shake as her sentence wavered.
"Quistis Trepe, nice to meet you as well, Yuffie..." Quistis answered shaking the afore offered hand.
"I'm Zell Dincht, nice to meet ya!" Zell said as he wiped his hand on his shirt and held it out to Yuffie.
Yuffie shook his hand, "Same here..."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Dark robes swooshed as feet treaded heavily to the dark dungeon. The robed men's eyes were scarred but it seemed as they could see without eyesight. One of the robed men took out a ring of keys and slipped one into the keyhole of one of the many barred cells. Two of the others walked in grabbing the two occupants of the cell. Both were unconscious but one, the female of the two, began to stir.
The woman opened her violet eyes to see the scarred eyed men, "...Bringers..." she whispered hoarsely.
"Aw... Looks like queenie's awake... How was your nap?" the shape shifter asked in the form of the petite blonde girl it loathed.
The red haired went into a coughing fit and the blonde grinned, "Well I guess the nap didn't go so well now did it?"
"...Y-you're in t-the s-slayer's form..." she managed to say before she began to cough again but coughed up some blood this time.
The blonde seemed a little irked by what the woman said and it turned to the bringers, "She can still see it! Why is it that the seer still knows?!" the bringers stood without responding and the blonde shook it's head, "Oh, yeah you guys can't answer... Now I'm kickin' myself for cutting out your tongues"
"Now... Take the man to the seal, Ansem says he's of no more use to him... He's of more use dead and bleeding on the seal to awaken my pet..." it turned to the queen, "Don't worry about your king... He'll be a part of me after he's all broken and bleeding..."
"No..." the queen rasped out before her red hair fell in front of her face she tumbled forward into unconciousness.

Yuffie watched the scene progress outside as Rinoa wrapped her arms around Squall's neck and he pulled her close to him. Yuffie looked away, 'I can't take this... What's wrong with me? When did I start have feelings for him...? This hurts... Too much... I need to be alone...' Yuffie thought as she left the gummi ship.
"Yuffie?" Kairi said as she tried to stop Yuffie from leaving, "Hey, where are you going? Wa-" Cloud put his hand on Kairi's shoulder.
"Let her go," Cloud said quietly.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Yuffie runs through the flower field and ends up on a beach. She stops to catch her breath but falls to her knees crying, 'I'm such fool... Crying over someone I thought I had... Maybe if I wouldn't have annoyed him so much, I might have had a chance...' Yuffie thought as she sobbed into her hands.
"What's wrong with you?" a voice said behind Yuffie.
Yuffie wiped her eyes and looked up to the blonde man who the voice belonged to, "Are you going to answer?" he asked.
Yuffie glared through her teary eyes and stood up but fell forward. The man caught her and looked at her limp body, 'Hm... Guess I should bring her back to Ragnarok...' he thought as he put one arm around her shoulders and the other under her knees, 'Could this night get any better,' he thought sarcastically as he walked down the beach towards Ragnarok.
~*~*~*~*~*~
A brunette haired young women leans against the window of the Ragnarok staring out towards the flower field, "What are ya lookin' at, Sefie?"
The woman turned to the man, "Nothin', Irvy... It looks like someone is out there with Rin..."
"Really? Who?" Irvine asked looking out the window beside her.
"Hm... Dunno, but it looks like they're hugging..."
"Maybe Seifer got through to her...?"
"I didn't," a voice said from behind.
Selphie and Irvine turned to see Seifer holding Yuffie, "Then who is it?" Selphie wondered as she looked out the window straining to see the person with Rinoa.
Irvine noticed the woman in Seifer's arms, "Ooh, who's this pretty lil lady?"
"Don't know," Seifer answered as he laid her in a chair, "I found her crying on the beach and then she collapsed,"

"Ow... Sorry, Selphie..." Irvine said as he rubbed his head.
"Who's out there with Rinoa?" Seifer asked as he looked out the window.
"We thought it was you... But since it's not, we don't know..." Selphie answered.
Seifer peered out further and saw the glimmer of Squall's gunblade and smirked, 'He came back... Squall, you better not leave her again, she was miserable enough when you were gone once... She can't go through that pain again,' Seifer thought as he began to leave the room.
"Heeey! Seifer, why are you smirking? Do you know who's out there?" Selphie shrieked and ran over to Seifer to look him straight in the face, "You do know! Who is it!?"
"Who else? It's puberty boy," Seifer answered, still smirking.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh, Squall... I've missed you so much... I've been waiting out here in the flower field... Waiting for you..." Rinoa said happily snuggling into his chest.
Squall smiled, "...I missed you, too..."
At those words Rinoa's eyes lit up as her smile grew, "Squall..." then she whispered, "I love you..."

A whistle and a 'Whoo-hoo!' were heard from behind the kissing couple. Rinoa and Squall parted to see a smiling Irvine and an overly excited Selphie, "Finally!" Irvine and Selphie said in unison.
Rinoa smiled as Squall sauntered over to Irvine, "What do you mean 'Finally'?"
"Duh! We've all been waiting for you to come back and profess your love to Rinoa!" Selphie said as if it was so very obvious.

"What are you doing?" a voice said from the shadows making Amaya jump.
"Riku!" Amaya whispered loudly turning to Riku, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I absolutely loathe this!" a voice bellowed though catacombs of the newly restored Hellmouth crater.
"You wanted a world with a place that no one would suspect that you were around and you got it!" a petite blonde 22 year old woman yelled to the angry silver-haired man as her form shifted from a petite blonde woman to a peroxide blonde vampire in leather, "Don't get your knickers in a twist jus' 'cause you bollixed up getting Hollow Bastion back under your high n' mighty rule!" the British accent clear in his voice.

A hand reached out from under the covers hitting the alarm, which read 7:25am, as Amaya fell out of bed with thump.

"Yeah" Riku said after looking the table once over, "They'll like it, Amaya"
She smiled and then turned to the door, "Guys! Breakfast!"
Sora's head perked up, "Breakfast! Where?" he said as he fell off the couch with Kairi falling along with him.
Kairi lifted herself up, holding her head, "Sora..." she moaned, "Why do you always think with your stomach..."
"Heheh..." Sora chuckled nervously rubbing the back of is neck, "I guess my stomach is more awake then my brain this morning..."
Kairi pulled herself up and helped Sora up, "Isn't it always?" she joked.
"Hey! Is not!" Sora said in mock anger.
Kairi giggled, "I was just kidding, Sora"
Amaya cleared her throat causing Sora and Kairi to turn around, "Sorry to interrupt your flirting but breakfast waiting"
"We weren't flirting!" Kairi and Sora said in unison as they blushed.
Amaya rolled her eyes as she nudged Clara awake, "Yeah... Right..." Amaya said as she walked over to Cloud and Leiko, "Wake up you two! Breakfast is ready"
Leiko's eyes shot open abruptly causing Amaya to jump in surprise, "I heard you the first time, imouto," Leiko said as she lifted herself up with her sword and stretched out her arms.
While Leiko had pulled herself up, Cloud had gotten up and headed to the kitchen with Sora and Kairi. Clara had gotten out of the pilot's seat and slowly trudged to the kitchen, rubbing sleep out of her eyes. Amaya and Leiko walked in after her as they all took seats at the table and began to pour cereal into their bowls and juice into cups.

A moan escaped Yuffie's lips as she sat up. Her head pounded as she tried to figure out where she was. "Augh..." she groaned, "Where the hell am I..."
"On the Ragnarok" a mysterious yet familiar voice said from behind her.
Yuffie turned to see a familiar face that matched up with the voice, "Squall!" she exclaimed as jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Squall was surprised at her reaction, "Hey, Yuffie... Seifer said he found you crying on the beach, what's wrong?"
Yuffie looked down, "It's nothing..." then she remembered something that made her angry, "Why didn't you tell me about your 'girlfriend'?" she said with her voice tinged with jealousy but she hadn't noticed.
"Rinoa? She wasn't my girlfriend..." Squall said slowly.
Yuffie raised a skeptical eyebrow, "And now she is then..." she said sadly.
"...Yeah... I never thought I'd see Rinoa again... She waited where I'd promised she'd find me... I've been gone so long and she still waited..."
Yuffie smiled sadly, 'He's happy... He's actually smiling... He must really love this Rinoa... And I guess the feeling is mutual...' Yuffie thought as she swallowed the lump in her throat, "I hope you two...are happy together..." Yuffie said covering her feelings and trying to be happy for him.
The door opened from behind Squall, "Squall! You're alive!" a male voice exclaimed.
"So, this is why Rinoa came back inside..." another voice but this time it was female, "Welcome back Squall"
"Zell, Quistis,"
Zell smiled and pulled Squall into a hug, "Man! What happen to ya?"
Quistis shook her head, "Zell, he might be more responsive he wasn't in your death grip..."
Zell let go, "Heheh, sorry Squall... So, where've you been?"
"Around," Squall answered trying not to divulge information about the other worlds, they'd be better off not knowing.
"Aw... C'mon! after all we've been through you're not gonna tell us?" Zell said hanging his head.
"You'll better off not knowing..." Yuffie said, making her prescience known.
"Who is she, Squall?" Quistis asked.
"I'm Yuffie, nice to meet you uh..." Yuffie said offering her hand to shake as her sentence wavered.
"Quistis Trepe, nice to meet you as well, Yuffie..." Quistis answered shaking the afore offered hand.
"I'm Zell Dincht, nice to meet ya!" Zell said as he wiped his hand on his shirt and held it out to Yuffie.
Yuffie shook his hand, "Same here..."

Dark robes swooshed as feet treaded heavily to the dark dungeon. The robed men's eyes were scarred but it seemed as they could see without eyesight. One of the robed men took out a ring of keys and slipped one into the keyhole of one of the many barred cells. Two of the others walked in grabbing the two occupants of the cell. Both were unconscious but one, the female of the two, began to stir.
The woman opened her violet eyes to see the scarred eyed men, "...Bringers..." she whispered hoarsely.
"Aw... Looks like queenie's awake... How was your nap?" the shape shifter asked in the form of the petite blonde girl it loathed.
The red haired went into a coughing fit and the blonde grinned, "Well I guess the nap didn't go so well now did it?"
"...Y-you're in t-the s-slayer's form..." she managed to say before she began to cough again but coughed up some blood this time.
The blonde seemed a little irked by what the woman said and it turned to the bringers, "She can still see it! Why is it that the seer still knows?!" the bringers stood without responding and the blonde shook it's head, "Oh, yeah you guys can't answer... Now I'm kickin' myself for cutting out your tongues"
"Now... Take the man to the seal, Ansem says he's of no more use to him... He's of more use dead and bleeding on the seal to awaken my pet..." it turned to the queen, "Don't worry about your king... He'll be a part of me after he's all broken and bleeding..."
"No..." the queen rasped out before her red hair fell in front of her face she tumbled forward into unconciousness.
