Chapter Eight"Where's Yuffie?" The redhead girl asked Aerith. "Shouldn't she be back by now? She abandoned us when the snow began to fall and hasn't been back yet…" Her blue eyes roamed in the vicinity of the window and out into the snowy fields of the camp known as Wapatuki. Aerith, who was attempting to get the young girls to wind down because of the snow, responded, "I wouldn't worry. Remember how she was lost in the forest? She came out alright." Kairi glanced back muttering, "I would have figured you would have been more concerned if your friend was missing."
A knock echoed through the cabin as they all averted their gaze towards the squeaky wooden door. A moment of silence filled the room as the gremlins looked towards their cabin leaders for answers.
"Well someone knocked on the door," Aerith alleged. Glancing over at Kairi, she realized she would be the one to answer the door, however, Kairi knew it was not Yuffie since the young teenager had her own free will to walk into the cabin and greet them in her cantankerous fashion. It tickled her mind with curiosity though. Who the hell would knock on their door during a blizzard, which no one knew why the hell that was happening either?
Aerith moved towards the door slowly opening it as the snowstorm blew in softly. Her eyes shifted to the figure situated in the doorway leaving her only to scowl. He thrust a paper into her hand while grumbling under his breath as he stalked off. Kairi curiously gaited toward the pink-clad girl.
"Who was that?" She inquired to Aerith slowly. Her blue gaze shifted towards the paper that they had recently acquired. Aerith closed the door quickly, as a gust of icy snow wafted into the heated cabin. She turned around and read the note aloud.
"Dear Cabin Members," She began as she cleared her throat. Kairi sighed and ripped the paper from Aerith's hands, leaving the pink girl to glare and protest.
"Dear Cabin members. As you can see, there is a blizzard going about in Camp Wapatuki. This is the first time in ten years that this has happened. If the storm is furthered through out the next couple of days, we will be sending home the members of Camp Wapatuki. We are sorry to say this, but we hope that you enjoy what may be your last days here. What the HELL!"
"Kairi!" Aerith scolded. With a sigh, Kairi replied, "Heck." A smile ran across Aerith's face as she moved the eager children around the cabin. It dawned upon Kairi that they would LEAVING if this blizzard were to stay here in this camp. She did want to leave this camp because of Jesse, but she had made so many friends. Did she want to give that up just yet? Well… they did live close to one another but the fact of going home…
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-X-X-X-X-X
"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. It was a sudden and uncanny action Leon had done. At the current moment, Yuffie's face drew an extra package of heat as her face began to turn red. It was only a second later the both of them realized that they were kissing. He was the first one to pull away and gaze at her with unshielded eyes. Her eyes searched his for answers for the second he looked into hers.
Have you ever had that feeling where you wondered if time had come to a stop and it seemed it had been years rather than seconds? Well, this wasn't the situation for Yuffie. It ended too quickly for her because as soon as he realized his actions, Leon fled the through the door and into the horrible blizzard leaving the young teen confused with questions unanswered.
"Squall?" She questioned aloud. Her hands lingered toward her mouth, before she cursed aloud.
"Damn it Squall! Get the hell back here!" She hollered, fists raised in the air shaking violently. Gripping the cold knob to the wooden door, Yuffie sprang it open with a quick thrust letting the snow blow in causing her cheeks to become slightly numb. The numbness remained when the young juvenile pressed the door closed once more but not because of the icy snow that plunged upon the small cabin. Her cheeks flustered with anger, her mouth going slightly numb, as her stomach began to churn with regret. What was she supposed to do now? Well.. that was dumb to think; she was stuck in the cabin!
"Argh! I hope there aren't any bugs here," she uttered softly, her voice hinting of the ire that gripped her emotions. Taking notice for the first time, Yuffie gazed around the small cabin that she stood in. Where exactly was this shabby place at? She didn't take the time to remember where this was exactly when she chased Squall, and that meant it could be trouble.
"Oh damn," she cussed, "I hope I'm not stuck here all night. I'll freeze!" In the corner, her gaze drifted towards a small bunk bed that held an ancient mattress (ew…) that had plenty of holes located on the surface, which she assumed was the home of many insects, a shabby blanket covered with dust particles from who knows how many years ago, and a flat pillow with spider webs. Spider webs…?
Yuffie screamed aloud, backing away in disgust at the dilapidated threads. "Spider!" She hollered. Out of all things Yuffie might be stuck with, she hoped she wouldn't be with her one fear: spiders. Her mind assumed that a black spider might crawl out like a zombie and purposely attack her like a murderer would do. "G-Got to get out of here!" With one quick breath, she thrust the door open and clumsily fell out into the foot thick snow babbling on about spiders attacking. "Run, run, run!" Scrambling up, despite her cold limps, her legs pumped as fast as they could to anywhere.
Maybe she wasn't as far as she thought she was from camp because within a matter of minutes, she stumbled through the door of the closest cabin and fell to the wooden floor.
"Yuffie?" A voice called.
"Ow…" Her face burned a numbing shade of red, her mind screaming how much of an idiot the young cabin leader was for such asinine actions. But in a sudden movement, she was lifted from the ground as a strong hand grasped hers thrusting her in a gentle upward motion for support. Her feet touched the ground with a little 'thump' as people began to crowd around her.
"Yuffie?" He requested once again. 'Look up, look up!' Her mind scolded. Taking a breath in while crossing her arms, she averted her gaze to the one person who helped her up.
"Huh? … Sephiroth?" she inquired. "This is your cabin?" A slight smile lingered around the young girl's lips as she soon began to forgot her little 'incident.' His aqua gaze studied her slightly as he began to say, "What-"
Her hand signaled him to halt before he finished the rest of his sentence. "I was lost," she lied, "and stuck in the storm." A slight chuckle came from the back of the room, startling Yuffie letting her to spin around on the balls of her feet to refresh her of 'him.' Stamping her feet with a shuffling of her arms, she chided, "I'm not finished! I couldn't see and accidentally stumbled in here, unfortunately." Her chocolate gaze was stained on the face that smirked haughtily.
"How lovely," he countered.
Sticking her tongue out, she added, "Now you're stuck with me, Seifer. You better pray that this storm ends soon." She stepped frontward in a threatening motion, but was withdrawn by a hand hauling her in a backwards motion. "Hey-"
"I'll kick both of you guys to the moon and back, before I let you fight." Looking back with a spiteful glare, she shrugged his hands away and crossed her arms with a huff. "You're all stuck with me until the storm dies down."
"And you have no Leon to protect ya," Seifer muttered lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling. Glancing around, she added, "What were you guys doing before I stormed upon ya?" It was beginning to become a little uncomfortable now. Little eyes tore through her like she were a complete stranger (she probably was), and they were quite unsure of how to act towards her. Sephiroth quirked his eyebrows at the young children.
"She's a fucken' girl!" Sephiroth told the boys. "Stop staring and get back to your games." Yuffie's eyes widened at Sephiroth's force with the boys. If Aerith were in here, she would surely have his head.
"Too bad I can't do that," Yuffie told Sephiroth with a simple chuckle. He turned his back to her and inquired, "Why can't you?"
"Aerith."
"You mean the girl obsessed with pink? She is in your cabin?" Yuffie gave a simple nod remembering how obsessive she was towards the simple color of pink.
"Wait." Sephiroth crossed his arms as Yuffie asked, "How do you know her?" A malicious smile spread across the man's face, although, she couldn't see it since his back was turned to her.
"She went to my school," he simply responded. 'I don't think so,' Yuffie countered in her thoughts.
'He's dangerous, ya know!' The blonde had hollered at her as she ran off that day. Just her luck! She was in a cabin full of boys and two criminals that were psycho. Maybe because she had been drooling over him in the past, she didn't notice the way he did things. His pose threatened anyone who drew near him, his smirk was the most mischievous, and his eyes; those cold eyes that hinted of malice. Shivering slightly, she gaited towards the door.
"It's almost over," she murmured aloud glancing back cautiously.
Thump, thump, thump… The cabin walls began to shake slightly as dust from the top of the cabin began to pour lightly onto the boys that began to play. Her gaze searched the ceiling, shifted to Sephiroth, then to Seifer, then finally, to the door. The golden wind chime that hung outside began to cling wildly.
"Do you hear something?" Yuffie inquired, as she listened to a call outside. Sephiroth quirked his eyebrow slightly and growled, pushing passed Yuffie flinging the door open.
"Alright you bastards-"
SHMACK! POP!
The little boys began to laugh and point when their stare fell upon the silver man's features. "Hey…isn't that pie?" Yuffie clarified.
"ARGH! You damn-"
Splat!
A bubbling laughter irrupted from the young teen laughing at the plastered man, as sad as his appearance was. A water balloon had lashed out at Sephiroth from the midst of the blizzard. Who the hell was brave enough to come out in this weather?
"Run Riku!" Sephiroth, with sprightly motions, sped out into the blizzard (which was now dying down thank god) after the roguish trouble maker. "Poor, poor boy," was all Yuffie acceded. Seifer stood up hastily approaching the door behind Yuffie.
"Who the hell is out there?" Seifer asked vigorously. Yuffie squatted when she sensed an oncoming object flying through the door.
Woof!
She silently laughed at the man who stood behind her swathed in pastries.
"I always knew you like pastries!" Yuffie taunted Seifer. Within the next second, Yuffie was thrown out the door into the blizzard, but she landed on someone instead.
"Ow!" They yelped in unison.
"Sora?"
"Yuffie?"
"What are you…?" They once again relied in unison. She put a hand over his mouth and told him, "I'll tell you later! Run!" She yanked the juvenile up with a swift motion and they ran away through the blizzard.
"You made Seifer pretty pissed," Yuffie choked out as the cold snow began to go down her throat. A simple grin spread across his face only giving a nod in reply. "What about Riku?"
"Oh…Yeah.. Let's just hope he can avoid Sephiroth," he laughed out. Yuffie glared but laughed along with him.
"Poor Riku. Sephiroth seemed pretty pissed," she replied.
"Why were you in there with him AND Seifer?" Sora asked. She met his gaze, able to see his deep blue gaze looking upon with query.
"I was disoriented because of the sudden snowstorm and happened to stumble into their cabin. Weather got so bad, I didn't have a chance of departing until you came along," Yuffie informed thoughtfully. Of course she left out the part about where Squall had kissed her because she wasn't sure that it happened herself. "Is that what you guys were planning when you left us earlier?"
"Yup! I hate Seifer and we all know Cloud despises Sephiroth, so we did him a favor."
Cough, cough-
"Are you getting sick?"
"It's the coldness! I can't…breath!" Yuffie choked out. Sora's eyes glistened with care and he pulled her along. "My cabin's right here! Come in till you get-"
"No.." she told him flatly.
"What? Yeah, you won't make it to your cabin," Sora told her.
"Yes -cough- I will!" He opened the door to the cabin putting his hands on her back, and gave a swift push into the cabin.
"There!" He dusted his hands together. Yuffie, on the other hand, was NOT happy.
"Sora! I didn't want to come here!" Her gaze darted around. It landed upon a bed close to her causing her to bit her lip.
"You," she hissed venomously. Yup! There he lye, the one and only, Leonhart.
"Me," he simply replied not even looking at her. Sora and Cloud watched from each end of the room with curiosity. Did they hate each that much?
She moved closer and gripped him by the shirt yanking him up quickly. "You! Why-" She stopped abruptly making sure her words wouldn't be recognized by Sora or Cloud. Her lips contorted into a small smirk but she was soon back to saying, "Why…did you do that thing?"
"You really want to know?" He asked with a tiny smirk. OoOoOoOohh! Don't give me that sexy smirk—UGLY smirk!
"Yes!" She replied quickly almost cutting him off. "It was… sudden! I wanna know!"
"You wouldn't shut up," he simply told her. Sora had made his way to hide behind the bed with Cloud.
"What do you think he did?" Cloud whispered to the figure next to him.
"I think he wedgied her," Sora replied. Cloud dropped to the floor with a thump. "What? Was it something I said?"
"That's only something you would do."
"Oh…yeah…true."
"I don't believe you!" Yuffie told him shaking her head. He tilted his head studying her momentarily. She scowled deeply and let go of him.
"I told you to leave," He reminded her. "You didn't." She crossed her arms looking at him.
"I thought it was more than that, ya know? Something…" Yuffie trailed off. Sora gasped in the background coming onto a conclusion. "You dirty horny little pervert!"
A slap echoed in the small cabin as others watched the little feud. "How dare you!" Her eyes began to tear up and Sora stood up.
"Oh my god! You raped her!" Sora called out. At that moment, he bent down as Yuffie had grabbed the closest object and threw it. When Sora looked back up, he only saw a swinging screen door and snow trailing in.
"Oh dear," Cloud muttered.
