(Mill: Well, sorry for the wait, but my dear Mewy-chan and I, now present you with Chap 6 of Final Fantasy Yugioh!
Mewy: We don't own Yugioh, or Final Fantasy 7, so now suing, onegai.)
CHAPTER 6
Yugi found himself in complete darkness, his last memory being falling from the No. 5 Reactor. He wasn't sure if he was alive or dead at this point. He couldn't feel his body at that moment. All his dark lavender orbs could see was nothing more then the ebony of the night. Though he could feel some sort of a soft figure touch his body.
"...You all right? ...Can you hear me?" A mysterious voice called out to him.
"...Yeah..." That was all Yugi could say, because he COULD hear the voice.
"Back then..." The voice began. "You could get by with just skinned knees..."
Yugi was confused now. "...What do you mean by 'back then'?" He asked quizzically.
"What about now?" The voice ignored his question. "Can you get up?"
Yugi sighed in annoyance. "...What do you mean by 'back then?" He asked again. "...What about now?"
"...Don't worry about me. You just worry about yourself now." The voice reassured Yugi and urged him to try and move.
"...I'll give it a try." Yugi agreed, and tried to move.
"Oh! It moved!" A new voice sounded out. This voice was soft and lyrical that can only belong to a woman.
"...How about that?" The male voice asked rhetorically. "Take it slow now. Little by little..." It began to fade out.
"Hello, hello?" The woman's voice called out again.
"Hey... who are you?" Yugi asked.
"Hello, hello!" Came the female voice once again.
Yugi then slowly opened his amethyst eyes and looked up. Somehow, bright sunlight got into his eyes and covered his entire body. When Yugi woke up and his vision cleared, he found himself in what looked like a church. He looked over him to find a soft figure onto his side. Looking closely at her, it was a young woman with short chestnut hair and sparkling sapphire eyes. Her attire consisted of a soft pink dress and strong steel bangles.
It's her… My flower fairy…thought Yugi as he looked at the girl.
"You okay?" The flower girl asked. "This is a church in the Sector 5 slums. It suddenly fell on top of me. It really gave me a scare."
The young flower girl smiled at the spiky haired boy. Yugi looked at her smile and felt a slight blush creep onto his face. He slowly moved his head away from her to hide his embarrassment. The brunette flower girl gave a slight giggle. Wow…it's that boy from Sector Eight. Thought the girl. Hee hee, he's so cute! Did he blush when I smiled?
"...I came crashing down?" Spoke Yugi once his regain his composure. Yugi's eyes widened at the thought.
"The roof and the flower bed must have broken your fall. You're lucky." The girl said as she nodded at him.
Yugi then realized he was sitting in the middle of a flower bed. "Flower bed... is this yours?" He gasped, realizing what he was doing, and he leapt up from the flower bed and moved away from it. "Sorry about that." He bowed apologetically. I must be some sort of an idiot for this. Thought the spiky haired boy. I hope she doesn't get mad for this.
The flower girl just smiled sweetly at him and giggled. He looks like he's done something bad, when in reality, he hasn't done anything. Thought the girl as tried to think of a way tell him that it's all right. Is he always this nervous? Yet, I can't help but to think that he looks exactly like….him….or maybe it's because of his clothes or the fact that he might be one of them.
"That's all right. The flowers here are quite resilient because this is a sacred place. They say you can't grow grass and flowers in Midgar. But for some reason, the flowers have no trouble blooming here." She sighed happily. "I love it here." She bent down to straighten up her flowers. "...So, we meet again. ...Don't you remember me? You do?" She asked him with a tinge of hope.
Yugi nodded. "Yeah, I remember... You were selling flowers." He smiled as he remembered the first time he met her.
The flower girl broke into a big grin. "Oh! I'm so happy! Thanks for buying my flowers." She hugged him tightly.
Upon the impact of the girl's embrace, Yugi let out a rather huge blush on his face. The softness of her arms were as tender as silk. The scent of her hair smelled like wild flowers that bloomed in the spring. It had been a while since he managed to smell that scent. Wow… She's affectionate. He thought as he took in the warm embrace.
"Say, do you have any Materia?" The girl suddenly asked out of the blue.
Yugi nodded and placed a hand inside of pocket. From there he managed to take out a small green orb which happened to be his heal Materia. The small orb glowed brightly from the light's ray. The small reflections touched the walls of the church as well as the face of the young woman.
"Yes, some." He replied. "Nowadays you can find Materia anywhere."
"But mine is special." The girl said plainly. "It's good for absolutely nothing."
"...Good for nothing?" Yugi asked with a hint of confusion. "You probably just don't know how to use it."
The girl just shook her head. "No, I do... it just doesn't do anything. I feel safe having it. It was my mother's..." She stared off into space wistfully, yet mournfully, before snapping back to reality. "Say, I feel like talking. Do you feel up to it? After all, here we are meeting again, right?" She asked sweetly.
Yugi once more blushed at her smile. "I don't mind." He said simply.
"Wait here." The flower girl said, waving a finger at him. "I've got to check my flowers. It'll just be a minute." She skipped over to her flowers and tended to them.
Yugi looked at the flower bed, admiring the brilliant colors and species of flowers before turning to flower girl. The lovely smile that was plastered on her pale face brought somewhat of a smile upon Yugi's own. She's the most beautiful flower though from the garden, he thought as he walked up to her. I must know her name. He stood behind her and gently tapped her on the shoulder.
"Just a little longer." The flower girl replied, before she suddenly stood up. "Oh! Now that you mention it... We don't know each other's names, do we?"
Yugi's eyes widen slightly. H-How does she know I was thinking that? Did she read my mind?
"I'm Téa, the flower girl. Nice to meet you." She smiled cutely curtseying.
"The name's Yugi." Yugi told her. "Me? I do a little bit of everything." He said with some confidence.
"Oh... a jack of all trades." Téa said in confirmation.
Yugi nodded with a confident smile. "Yeah, I do whatever's needed." Then he started to notice Téa laughing. "What's so funny? What are you laughing at?" He said a bit offended.
Téa started to blush, as she realized what she did. "Sorry... I just..." She stammered, rubbing the back of her head. Then an idea popped into her head. "Say, Yugi. Have you ever been a bodyguard? You DO, do everything, right?
"...Yeah, that's right." Yugi told her, calming down a bit.
"Then, get me out of here. Take me home."
"OK, I'll do it... but it'll cost you."
Cost me? Thought the flower girl as she stood there. Hmm…I never did think of what to give someone. I don't think he would like flowers. And the money I have is for my mother. There must be something he'd like in which I can give him. Hmm…Wait! I think I got it! I'm not too sure if he'll like it that much, but at least it will be something worthwhile.
"Well then, let's see... How about if I go out with you once?" She said with a flirty tone, winking at him.
Yugi blushed madly at her forwardness, but inside he was smiling. Heee… I have a date with my flower fairy… He turned around, and out of the corner of his grape colored eyes he noticed a leather clad man slightly older than him standing near the church entrance. He walked up to the man, studying him.
"I don't know who you are, but..." He stopped, thinking. "You don't know me...?"
...I know you. The mysterious voice spoke to him again, and his mind flashed with a memory.
"Oh yeah... I know you." Yugi told the man. "That uniform..."
Suddenly, a Kaiba Corp soldier popped up and looked at Téa. " ...Hey sis, this one's a little weird."
"Shut up! You Kaiba Corp spy!" Yugi glowered at the soldier
"Valon!" Another soldier told the leather clad man. "Want him taken out?"
"I haven't decided yet." Valon said to the soldiers.
Téa started to get worried and called out to Yugi. "Don't fight here! You'll ruin the flowers!" She pointed to a backway passage. "The exit is back there."
Yugi nodded to Téa and they both ran out, as fast as they could. Valon stood there thinking. He placed a rough hand through his chestnut colored, spiky locks. His sapphire eyes glared down at the silhouette of the two young people.
"They were... Mako eyes." He said thoughtfully, before turning back to the soldiers. "Yeah, all right. Back to work, back to work." He walked towards the exit, stepping through Téa's flower patch. "Oh!" He tread through them again, to speak to his henchman. "And don't step on the flowers..." He told them, which earned some outbursts from the Kaiba Corp soldiers.
"Hey Valon, you just stepped on them!"
"They're all ruined!"
"You're gonna catch holy hell!"
Upon hearing the soldiers say that, Valon's face was flustered with red. Okay, I feel like a total idiot now, thought the young man with the dark navy suit. Yugi and Téa meanwhile ran through the rafters, up the wooden stair, taking note of the decaying wood work all around. They were halfway to the top, when a strong voice had caught them off guard.
"There they are, over there!" Valon's voice cut through, and he appeared, with his boys in tow.
"Yugi... that one!" Téa pointed to the huge gap in their pathway.
"I know. Looks like they aren't going to let us go." Yugi said grudgingly.
"What should we do?"
Yugi smirked cockily. "Well we can't let them catch us, can we? Then there's only one thing left." He took a few steps back, then broke into a short dash and jumped over the large gap, landing on the other side. "Téa! This way!"
Tea took a step towards the gap. In her cerulean eyes, she looked down at the pit below her where she stood. Then she looked at the gap and saw how big it was. Fear over took the brunette as she shook in fear. Walking back, she looked at Yugi with mortified eyes. She slowly shook her head, telling the young swordsman that she didn't want to jump.
Yugi sighed angrily. Now's not the time to chicken out… "All right I'll hold them off." He told her.
"Right. Make sure they don't get through!" Téa nodded.
"The Ancient is getting away! Attack! Attack! Attack!" Shouted Valon as he started to get frantic.
Upon hearing the order from Valon, the Kaiba soldiers took out their rifles. Each one of them took aim upon poor Téa. Within that second they fired their weapons upon her. Several bullets passed by the girl and ricochet through the walls of the church. Some eventually ended up hitting the body of the poor girl. Upon impact she felt such pain surge through her body.
"Eaygh!" Téa lost her footing and she fell to the basement.
Yugi's eyes widened in horror. "Téa!"
"Think we killed'em? They shouldn't have put up a fight, I say!" Valon said as he smirked at what he had done.
Téa soon opened her eyes to see where she had fallen. The impact of the fall had caused her quite some bruises upon her fair skin. Out from the corner of her eyes, she saw the figures of the Shinra Soldiers coming towards her.
"Yugi, help!" She cried as she looked at the mercenary.
Yugi punched the floor below him. "Damn!" Suddenly he looked up in the rafters, and noticed 4 barrels. "What's that...?" Then he had an idea. "Téa! Hold on a minute!"
He darted upstairs to the barrels, and studied the ground below him. He then walked over to the rightmost bottom barrel from his POV, and he pushed it over. He watched as the barrel fell and landed right on top of the Kaiba Corp Soldier, knocking him out.
"Thanks, Yugi." Téa said, waving to Yugi with a smile and began to run upstairs. Sadly, her way was blocked by ANOTHER Kaiba Corp Soldier. "Eaygh! Yugi, help!" She cried out
Yugi ran like hell to the other side of the rafters, this time, knocking the barrel on his left, as he saw the new soldier was left most of the room. He knocked the barrel over and it rolled down the stairs, running over the Kaiba Corp soldier flattening him.
"Thanks, Yugi." Téa chirped happily, and started to continue on her run upstairs. Téa was almost to the top, when another Kaiba Corp soldier came up behind her. "Eaygh! Yugi, help!"
Yugi ran to the upper left barrel that was nearest to the stairway Téa was on. He knocked the barrel down where it hit the Kaiba Corp soldier, knocking him out as it rolled down. Téa then smiled at the warrior for saving her life again. Yugi smiled back at her with much gratitude.
"Thanks, Yugi! You're the best!" Téa blew a kiss to Yugi.
Yugi blushed madly. How great it would be to receive an actual kiss from her…
Téa made her way to the gap, with a running start, and leapt over the gap, landing on the other side, as graceful as a ballerina. She was thankful that she left the lower buttons on her dress unbuttoned so that her legs could move around. She ran up the ladder to the rafters and met up with Yugi. There she let out an even bigger smile in which she was happy that she was with good company now.
"Téa, this way." Yugi motioned for Téa to follow him.
They ran through the rafters to an opening to the rooftop, where they climbed up to and jumped out, away from Valon's buddies. Valon looked up towards the opening and growled in defeat. Looking down at his companions, he couldn't believe how a lot of soldiers were defeated by a bunch of barrels. The brunette growled as he felt his anger rise.
"You're all a bunch of worthless trash!" Shouted Valon as he glared down at the team.
"You weren't much of a help either!" Shouted one soldier.
"That's true!" Shouted another one.
"Lazy bum!" Called out another one.
"Aha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Shut up!" Shouted Valon as he throw a hissy fit.
