WOOT! I am back! Finally, I decided this was the right time to write the next chapter to this story! I got my other story chapter out so now I can work on this one. I, you cannot believe, am SO happy with the amount of reviews I got. This is a successful story! Thank you so much! Next chapter! Onward! Yes and School soccer is over! I'm not doing track this year so I shall be able to write a lot more. I'm getting into the spirit.
And this chapter is dedicated to my readers who haven't given up on me yet for updating after months. I promise you I shall work hard for your enjoyment.
Oh yeah… I know that some of you don't remember what happened in the last chapter so I'll give you a summary. That way, you won't have to go back and read it!
Chapter Summary: Leon found out Aerith was the squirrel, but the boxers she had taken weren't his. Yuffie comes back with a cast and is as good as ever, but still her miserable self. She met a new guy named Sephiroth along the way going back and Cloud told her he was bad news. She ran into Seifer later on and they fought. Jesse broke them up and Seifer got into trouble, but soon after gave Yuffie lunch duty for a week. She then gets tackled and pulled along to the camp fire. During that time, she goes back to the cabin because Sora spilled all his water over her. She brings her cell phone, but later at the fire she realizes she didn't have it, so she went back and got it. Apparently, someone left her a voice mail…
Chapter SevenWhy me? Why me of all the people here? Of course, I become the victim; I always am the victim. She shuddered slightly trying to regain warmth from the cold front coming her way. She shook her head coming back to reality. Coming back made her insides churn with trepidation. Now, her eyes darted around thinking what force could possibly make her feel this way. The anxiety was so great; her mind was working its hinges to the end of time. No resolution came to her mind for this problem. All she could do was continue waiting in fears shadow.
A hand touched her shoulder causing the young teen to jump back startled. Losing her balance, Yuffie landed on the ground with a thud, but she gripped the rocky earth as it spread through her milk white hands. Not even bothering to check who startled the young teen, she threw whatever she could grip.
"Yuffie," the voice called gruffly. Yuffie, who just let herself fall back completely into the dirt, just gave up.
"Okay," she began, "Kill me now. I guess I deserved it." Her brown eyes closed as the dark towering shadow covered her body from the moonlight. She could no longer keep her eyes open, but she knew that the man standing over her was brushing himself off because she could hear the hitting of his jacket.
"Kill…?" He stated more as a question. She waved one hand in the air motioning him to go on adding, "Yes, yes. Kill me! Isn't that…?" She stopped for a second unsure of what he was implying. "What you want?" She finally opened her eyes as the shadow figure stepped back into the moonlight. At that moment, she realized her mistake. Well, all she could do now was go through Squall's boring lectures and find a way to avoid answering any questions that related to the cell phone incident.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked eying her suspiciously. His gaze upon her was intimidating, but she was not one to give in. She sat up quickly and retorted, "I lost my cell phone bucko. Can't a girl make a call?" She scrambled to her feet quickly unsure what the isolated man was thinking. His eyes remained dispersed of impassive emotions, as always. She inched closer to show she was not scared of him and looked straight at him. "Do you have a problem?"
He scowled as he replied, "Yes I do have a problem. Running into you did not make my day. In fact, I was enjoying it until I ran into and I had dirt thrown into my face." The young girl glared back intentionally while sucking her lip in, as she put her hands on her hip.
"I'm sorry life isn't perfect. Maybe I should get down on my knees and bow down to you. Would that make you feel better?" Squall, of course, returned the glare she had given him. She held her finger up adding venomously, "Oh wait. It would not make you feel better! You're just lion who feeds on its prey. You know what Squall. I will not be your prey. I dare you to mess with me!" After he didn't answer she stepped back turning quickly and dashed off leaving the swordsman to shrivel in thought. She hissed under her breath as she recalled the dark man standing above her glaring. His eyes showed no emotion towards her and she knew it. She did not want to deal with this man right now. He had masses of pain hidden within that mind, and she was not going to the one that secluded man fed on. Yuffie quickly wiped the warm water the formed in her eyes.
"I didn't mean to be so mean," she trailed off. Shaking her head, the young girl ran back to her cabin slamming the old wooden door that cried out every time it was touched. Even if she was nice to that man known as Leon, he would smudge her face in the dirt like she were an inferior. Now was the time for the exhausted girl to put her foot down because she was fatigued of his negative energy. A curt laugh left her mouth as she launched herself on her bed. Why was she crying? It was nothing to be worked up over. Shaking her head, she burst into tears. A sudden thought hit her mind causing her eyes to widen in shock. She missed home. She threw her bag across the room and towards the wall and screamed loudly.
"No! I will never think of that ridden place!" She cried aloud in ire. To her luck, no one was around or many would have thought someone in the cabin had gone insane, but to Yuffie's sake, no one could say that she had not gone crazy yet.
Yuffie stopped abruptly pausing for many passing moments. "Calm, calm, calm," she murmured. She stood straight glancing around. Her first thoughts were to close the windows by the blinds, and she did that. While everyone was at the fire, Yuffie made her way around the cabin stealthily and quietly so if anyone were to listen, that someone who listened to her footsteps could not tell exactly where she was. Grabbing her CD player, the young teen finally decided what the hell and if she died, they would find her killer and that's the end of it, but in her stomach butterflies soon replaced that thought.
"Damn," she cursed quietly putting the CD player on. The reason Yuffie was taking this death threat a little bit seriously was that this was not just a camp prank; she was residing at a camp FULL of mischievous kids.
Soon her eyes began to close slowly and she drifted off into a sleep…
In the morning
Poke…Click… Poke…Click…
She wearily opened her eyes to see nothing but a room filled with light. "What the heck," Yuffie murmured, "I closed the blinds last night." She only shrugged slightly at those words and sat up lazily as she rubbed the morning tiredness out of her eyes.
"You're up!" Kairi came around out of the bathroom fluffing up her hair.
"What made you think that?" Yuffie retorted sitting up. Her head pounded slightly making her thoughts unsorted. After her last comment, Kairi gave a scowl before continuing on her act of concern.
"You left last night and never came back," she began but soon interrupted to Yuffie's negativity.
"I -know- because I didn't want to sit around the campfire," she lied. In fact, she had been looking forward to sitting by the campfire and scaring the britches off the munchkins with simple original over used scary stories. Kairi eyed her and replied, "You seemed happy when you were there last night." Yuffie sighed at Kairi's persistence.
"I did NOT want to stay. I had my fun," Yuffie countered, as she stood up glaring at the teenager. That had been the point where Kairi backed off with a simple defeated shrug. She made her way back into the bathroom, but not before Yuffie pushed her out of the way and locked the door behind her.
"HEY!" Kairi yelled in surprise. She pounded on the door and growled, "I was in there!" Yuffie laughed at her through the door and said, "A woman always has to go." After moments of staying in the bathroom longer just to irritate Kairi, Yuffie eventually turned the knob and opened the door. 'Talk about persistence,' Yuffie thought. Kairi moved in quickly and grabbed Yuffie by the arm throwing her out the door. Yuffie soon stumbled to catch her balance and she heard the door close with a slam.
-Click-
"And there she goes," Yuffie muttered. She should have taken a shower when she had the chance. That would have been nice and it would have made Kairi have to wait also. A chuckle escaped her mouth at the thought of making the young girl wait, but who knows what the girl would do. The redhead would most likely do something to Yuffie's CD player. She winced at the thought of anyone touching her precious. They would taste Yuffie's fist if that were the case unless it was a child. She would only take one of their precious items and shred it. She grinned at the thought. No one would mess with her after that.
"Hey Kairi," Yuffie called to her, as she unconsciously put socks on. After a moment of silence, Kairi's voice protruded, echoing from the bathroom.
"What?" She called irritated. That redhead was more ferocious than a lion darting after its prey or when some silly humans had attacked it. Yuffie wondered what it would be like to have a lion come into the camp.
'Well, goodbye friends and hello to heaven… or hell,' she added in thought.
"Don't scare us away," Yuffie told her laughing. "You seem to be having a mid life crisis child." She shook her head slightly moving the bangs that lingered in her eyesight. Good thing Kairi gave her the chance to go on, before she started yelling. "Just a simple question I am asking. What's on the agenda today?" An agitated sigh came from the bathroom, before she poked her head out the door. "We're," she trailed off. Her eyes shifted down but not in thought.
"Yes?" Yuffie ushered her on. Kairi then shut the door to the bathroom. "We're repelling," she said through the door. Yuffie's eyes widened with excitement.
"Are you serious?" she asked, as hope suddenly sprung into her chocolate eyes. Kairi answered, "Of course! Do you think I'd joke about it?" Today was going to be a good day. Climbing down cliffs and scaring the crap out of people by shaking their ropes, Yuffie drooled at the thought.
A thought hit Yuffie's mind. Why didn't Kairi want to go repelling? A sudden smirk inched its way up her lips.
"Kaaairi," she called, dawdling the letters in her name. There, of course, was a silence because when Yuffie sounded like that, Kairi had already figured something was up. She continued to grin, stood outside the doorway of the bathroom, and called through, "Are you almost done? We have to go to the mess hall for -repelling- and it's going to be so much fun!" There was silence in the bathroom causing Yuffie to laugh.
"Kairi's afraid!" she taunted, as she skipped around like a little child who had just gotten a candy cane. A low growl floated from the bathroom and with a sudden swing, the door yanked open. Yuffie gazed over with a grin, but soon turned into a squeal of horror. In her white hands, Kairi held up the compact to her powder and said, "I'll powder you to death!" She inched forward and Yuffie stood there numbly, before she shook her head. Kairi always meant business, so Yuffie took this chance and darted out of the cabin heading towards the mess hall.
In her mind, she now began to wonder where all the munchkins had gone. Well, they probably went to breakfast, but who would eat that poison? Yuffie groaned loudly in panic. She had to serve that poison for a week!
"What's up Yuff?" A voice interrupted her thoughts. Her eye rolled over to whom was speaking to her while groaning to make it seem like she was in pain.
"Lunch duty," she moaned. Riku winced at the thought putting a hand on Yuffie's shoulder for support.
"I'll make sure your gravestone says, 'a short miserable child to be remembered in the cafeteria. Our prayers are with this cafeteria worker,'" he told her jokingly. Yuffie swatted his hand away from his shoulder instantly.
"Ha Ha," she said monotonously. "I'd love to see you work there," she mumbled. Riku could only reply with his flashy grin causing Yuffie to shake her head.
"Are you going repelling?" Yuffie inquired. His eyes shifted towards her and he nodded. "Yuffie," he began, "You have a cast. You can't repel!" Her eyes widened and she groaned. "I'm going anyway!" She cried aloud. Riku sighed wearily and said, "Well have fun staying here!" and jogged off to go and find Sora.
What would she do all day! Yuffie walked towards the mess hall grumpily now that her day was ruined. She had looked forward to going to down those cliffs. It seemed she had the skills of a ninja in her opinion. She was fast, slick, and loved to climb. She was really stealthy in some situations.
The ground vibrated with rapid thumps, and in the distance, balloons filled the air as little children filed in the doors. The little munchkins were going repelling and she wasn't! How pathetic!
"Damn stupid bear," she cursed. He had made her run for her life then break her wrist. Should she even go to the mess hall? What was there for her to do? Clean the cafeteria? Someone grabbed onto her wrist and pulled her inside with the crowd. It was Riku once again. He knew that she was hesitant since she had to clean the cafeteria and wasn't going to be able to climb down the mountains.
"Riku," Yuffie groaned, as he pulled her to a seat sitting by the little gremlins. For some odd reason, Kairi was already at the mess hall. The young teen quirked her eyebrow at the redhead, who was sitting down.
"How the hell," she trailed off quickly when Aerith gave her a scowl. Of course, she wasn't aloud to cuss when the little children were around. Well, if Aerith isn't around, how will she know? Yuffie grinned slightly and sat down. No sign of Squall at the table. Maybe he was skipping out too.
"What's up with the balloons?" Yuffie asked swatting at her bangs, which hung in her eyes.
"I think there is an assembly," Kairi answered. "That's why there is such loud-"
"Vulgar music!" Yuffie ended. The young gremlins looked over towards Yuffie in question.
"What's vulgar?" They asked. Kairi scowled at Yuffie and responded, "I'll tell you later." Her attention turned back toward Yuffie.
"What do you mean -vulgar?" Her blue eyes looked at the ninja in curiosity. Somehow, Yuffie figured Kairi was laughing silently at her outburst.
"Listen to it," Yuffie pointed to the speakers. Their whole table had been in tune with Yuffie's point and listened to the words of the song.
WAPATUKI!
Say again?
WAPATUKI!
I can't hear you!
WAPATUKI!
Wapatuki, Wapatuki, Wapatuki! Join the fun!
Yuffie looked towards Kairi tuning out the rest of the song. "That," she began, "is a VERY bad rap." The table began to laugh at the song, while the children sang along with it. The older kids began to groan loudly as the children sang along.
"Eviiil!" Yuffie cried. "Why does today suck so badly?" Aerith looked over at Yuffie and inquired, "Don't you have lunch duty today?" As a response, the petite girl groaned. "I don't think you get to do it," Aerith said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean I don't get to?" Yuffie asked, as she looked over.
"Well… since you have that cast on… You can't repel, which means you can't serve others. You're the one who needs to be served." Aerith clarified.
"Aw Yuff's! I was really looking forward to seeing you wear that hair net!" Grabbing the closest thing she could find, which happened to be a fork, she threw it at Riku. He saw this and ducked quickly. A gasp set the table when the fork hit a familiar…hippo.
The little kids began to point and laugh at the camp leader, who tumbled over in surprise rolling onto a table.
"Ughmm," Yuffie choked. Sora pointed and began to laugh with the little children. Jesse's legs wobbled in the air as she rolled around like a turtle that was tipped on his back.
"Help me up!" Steve ran to her side and grasped her hand trying to pull her up. "Help me not ROLL me around you idiot!" She hollered.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
"What are you going to be doing while we go repelling?" Sora inquired as Yuffie walked along with all the young gremlins. "I am not sure… I think I'm going to go watch you guys repel jealously then get mad and beat someone up. Hmm," she hummed before looking over at Sora.
They all muttered to one another and chorused, "Sounds good!" Stephanie trotted along singing the camp Wapatuki theme. Yuffie, as always, covered her ears with her hands.
"No offense child, but I will laugh if you fall off the mountain because you are singing that song," Yuffie muttered. Aerith smacked her in the back of the head and Yuffie groaned. Looking around, she asked, "Has anyone seen Squall? I haven't seen him since yesterday."
"No," they all said in chorus. Yuffie jumped and said, "You have REALLY got to stop doing that. You guys sound possessed when you say it together."
"I bet Leon is hiding," Riku spoke up. They all glanced over at Riku motioning him to continue. "I heard Steve is helping the guys today," he told them. They all began to laugh except Yuffie. Well, she couldn't blame Squall! "Sora," Riku called looking around then to him.
"What?" He asked. His gaze wandered towards the young teen as Riku gave him a wink and said, "Remember that thing that the –hippo- wanted us to do?" 'If you couldn't say that was suspicious,' Yuffie thought.
"OH yeah," he replied pulling Riku along. They ran off into the bushes leaving Kairi, Yuffie, and the others to wonder what the teenagers had in mind.
"I don't know about that but didn't that seem suspicious you?" Aerith inquired. They all nodded in agreement. As they walked on, Yuffie began to notice the sky turning a dark color. It began to paint the horizon of trees many shades of gray and black. Winds began to pick up at a quick speed causing them all to look around.
"Wow," they breathed. Yuffie's eyes searched around. What in the hell was going on? Today's weather was supposed to be sunny-bright. Not this dull gray cold front. "Is it going to rain?" They asked in chorus. A sudden thought popped into the mind of the young rebellious teenager.
"We better hurry up, ya know," she told them. Agreeing, they headed towards the group ahead. When they got there, everything was explained, but a certain little ninja didn't listen. Her thoughts wandered elsewhere instead of listening to the rambling of the hippo and the gay instructor.
Her thoughts raced on a young swordsman, who was no where to be in sight. Why couldn't she stop thinking of him? Was it that too-good-for-you attitude or was it those piercing eyes he always gazed upon her with impassion? A scowl spread across her face at the thought. Why was he closed up like that? His mind ran on negativity in Yuffie's opinion. Was there a spark of happiness in that man? And most of all would he ever like her?
"Hmm," she hummed aloud not caring if anyone looked back or not. Her eyes moved back to her friends and said, "Alright. Who's throwing ice?" They all shrugged and Aerith replied, "I thought you were throwing ice." Yuffie glanced up at the sky as an unfamiliar chunk of white ice melted on her skin.
"What is this?" Her eyes searched around as more slowly drifted down from the sky. The group looked around in slight awe as the dirt ground filled up with pieces of melting ice.
"…Snow?"
"Whoooaa," Kairi breathed in. She began to giggle as it began to snow harder. "Snow in summer camp!" Yuffie's cheeks began to brighten up to a slight red leaving a numb feeling. A roar of excitement was launched through the crowd.
"Children!" The leaders began to call. No one listened as now the snow was already leaving an inch on the ground.
"It's cold," Yuffie told them. "I'm wearing shorts for crying out loud." What the hell. She was leaving.
Stepping through the now three inches of snow and fogging blizzard of ice, Yuffie wandered towards the cabin, but along the way something-someone caught her eye.
"Squall?" She whispered aloud. Her curiosity got the better of the young teen as she stepped forward following the other teenager, who disappeared down a path towards the forest. "Where the hell is he going in a blizzard that wasn't even supposed to happen?" She wondered aloud. He was soon getting out of her sight, so she ran to catch up to him. The forest's green was now covered in the milky white snow that continued to fall over the camp. It was simply amazing. All these weird-horrible things were beginning to happen at the Juvenile camp. Camp Wapatuki had a reputation to keep and it seemed they were going to have a hard time keeping whatever one they had.
She followed him down the swirling rocks that led down the trees towards a place in the distance. He entered the small wooden building that seemed to be an old cabin. An old cabin? Why would he come out here in the middle of a blizzard to be in an old shabby cabin? The question lingered in her mind as she trudged through the snow. About twenty yards away from the cabin, she stopped bringing her arms up crossing them for warmth. Did she dare to go towards the cabin of the young swordsman? Shaking her head, she continued forward. It was too late to turn back now.
Heading up the steps after what seemed like an hour, Yuffie opened the door to the cabin hesitantly. Did she really want to see Squall? Something told her yes.. something else she did not know of told her not to go in and just turn around and go back. Of course Yuffie being herself, her hand moved to open the door revealing the somewhat dark depths of the cabin.
Her feet made the floor boards crack as she stepped forward. Carefully, she moved forward calling out Squall's name. "Squall?" She called out hoping to hear his reply. Still a silence remained in the room. Closing the door to keep the wind from smacking ice on her face any longer, Yuffie stepped forward into the middle of the room. Hands grabbed her shoulders whirling her around to face him. She let out a startled squeal when she saw his dark piercing eyes gazed at her.
"What are you doing here, Yuffie?" He asked a bit gruffly. She quirked her eyebrow in response. His gaze ushered on to answer his question.
"I came here because you left towards some place in the blizzard the unexpectedly happened so I became curious. It's not everyday you wander out into the clutches of what seemed to be doom." The blizzard began to rattle the shutters on the outside of the cabin causing Yuffie to jump a bit. He eyed her in the way he always did and said, "You shouldn't be here. Leave."
Okay. Now that ticked her off. "What? In THAT weather? Are you serious? I don't think so." A small growl escaped the young man whose hands were still on her petite shoulders. "Leave Yuffie. You don't want to stay. Only trouble will come if you do." A sudden feeling of anger erupted in the young girl's mind.
"No," she told him firmly. Holding herself steady, she couldn't believe she had just told Squall no. Apparently, Yuffie had more courage than she thought.
"Leave. Now," he told her firmly once more as his final warning. "This is the final warning." Her chocolate gaze stared up at him with ire.
"Warning? Ha! What are you going to do if I don't? Throw me out?" He glared at her as his grip tightened on her shoulders slightly. "I'm not leaving! It's really cold out there and windy and snowy!" She growled slightly. "I came here to see if you were alright and all I got-"
He leaned in quickly to Yuffie's surprise and sealed his lips on hers.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
