A/N: So, third chappie up! Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I appreciate it! All you guys are awesome, seriously. On another note, i betcha this chappie is kinda predictable, but i like it. Yuffie and Reno's actions are supposed to mirror each other...and blame any spacing issues on the edit thing i'm forced to use.

He was running. He didn't know why, all he knew was that he had to get away as fast as he could. He realized that, but he knew he was tiring fast.
As he tried to breathe, he felt a hand on his leg.
He woke up with a jolt, snapping his head back and hitting it against the doorframe.
Wincing, he looked around the apartment. Everything looked like it did last night.
Rude was staring at him.
"What?"
"You were muttering in your sleep, then your leg twitched, and you woke up. I'm not even going to mention last night, because that was weird beyond belief. Something is happening with you, Reno, and even Elena is starting to notice."
He started to get up, trying to get out of the apartment. He knew that Rude wanted answers, and he wasn't prepared to give them right now.
Rude, unfortunately, knew what he was trying to do and blocked the door.
"Reno…..you kept saying the name 'Yuffie' in your sleep over and over again. Please promise me that you won't be around Avalanche."
He stood there for a moment, thinking of the best phrase to put his reply in.
"I….can't promise that, Rude."
As sunlight streamed through her bedroom, she slowly awoke, feeling happy and refreshed.
Then she remembered the events of the night before, and that immediately changed her mood.
She yawned, and followed the smell of pancakes into the Avalanche common room, where she found Tifa and Cloud.
"Hi Yuffie!"
"Hey Tif, what's up with the pancakes?"
"Um….nothing! We just wanted to make you something!"
She smirked. Yeah, right.
"Whaddya want?"
"Well, I was wondering….why were you with Reno, of all people?"
"So that's what this is about?"
"……Well……."
"For your information Tifa, all I did was run into him at the streetlight. Literally. Why would you care anyways?"
"Well, just promise me that you'll never run into that murderer again."
She thought about her reply for a second.
"I can't promise that, Tifa."
He had gotten out of the apartment, and took to walking again. Since it was noon, people were out on their lunch break, and he got many weird looks because of his bloody and rumpled clothes.
He casually walked the streets, eventually making it to an overlook where one can see the ocean. He sighed.
This had been the spot where they had had their first date.
After grabbing some pancakes, she had left the apartment as fast as she could. She didn't like being pumped for information or constantly stared at. It wasn't a pleasant experience.
She had said that she was going shopping, but she was really just going out to think.
The one thing she wanted was to be able to think without Tifa being there.
She walked along the harbor side, enjoying the view of the ocean.
He sat down on the bench that long ago, both of them had shared. On that night, it had been raining, he remembered, and he shared his jacket with her so they could be warm as they kissed.
Then, it had turned into disaster.
"Oh Yuffie," he mumbled, "if we had another chance, things would be different…"
Since he was looking the other way, he never saw the person that sat down on the bench next to him.
Then he looked over, and saw her.
While walking, she decided she needed a rest, and picked a bench randomly.
She sat down and stretched. Then she looked over and saw who she was sitting on the bench with.
"……Reno….I need to say something too."
He nodded, intent on every word she said.
"I miss you, too."
She reached over and took his hand, and kissed it.
They both smiled.
"Aren't you cold, Yuffie? It's almost in the negatives out here."
"Now that you mention it, it is really cold…"
She shivered.
"Here, Yuf, you're gonna catch a cold…"
He slowly wrapped his jacket around her, and she smiled in relief.
She moved closer and leaned up against him.
He looked over at her, she looked at him.
Right on that bench, they shared their last first kiss.

I'm going on vacation and stuff, so I won't be back until Sept. I'm really really sorry...
