It'd been so long since I had last seen him (which was at the coliseum—and that's a topic we won't talk about ever again). We were in the small house in Third District. Of course, he was busy talking to Kairi…he was going to be leaving soon for Hallow Bastion then to the End of the World—where he'd seal the door and I'd never get to see him again. Which is rather sad.
…It must be that age thing right? I mean, he must be intimidated by me cause I'm older (and cooler)—right? 'Cause Kairi and I have a lot in common. We're both short, skinny, have short hair (if Sora's attracted to that), nice, and are both pretty cute. I'm just…a bit louder and more talkative, and I'm a ninja. But doesn't that just add on to my coolness?
I'm standing here like an idiot watching Sora talk to Kairi and…I'm basically just a bit jealous and bored. Plus there's nothing to distract me from their little conversation, only a bunch of boxes and shelves. How boring can this room be?
He smiled and waved at me, as he got ready to leave. My eyes widened and I felt like saying something—but what could I really say to him? I'm in love with an idiot. He's totally oblivious to it plus he's totally being distracted by the whole saving-the-world thing and Kairi. After he left, I too left the small house. Sora headed back towards First District to talk to Cid, so I headed to Second District. The Secret Waterway was where I went when I got bored; Either to swim or just sit there and be by myself.
I passed by the mural on the wall and then had to run back around the corner to see if my eyes were going retarded on me. No, they weren't. The mural of the moon had turned into a sun now. I swear, I hadn't been sniffing Paopu leaves. I stared at if for a few more minutes but as soon as I heard footsteps coming from the exit I dashed for a dark corner to hide in.
I soon discovered it was only Sora. I was going to show myself (maybe scaring him a bit in the process) and have a few last words with him. I seriously thought about it, but just as I was going to come out from behind the shadows Kairi appeared. Was my waterway now everyone's favorite place to go? What—was Phil and Cloud going to suddenly show up skipping and holding hands too! I was going to say something like "Why are you guys in here?" when Kairi started talking about her heart being with Sora (or some corny romancy thing like that) and I watched as she gave him a snazzy looking key chain. The thief part of me was just aching to leap out from my hiding place, snatch the star and bolt out of the Waterway. Then eventually Sora left and Kairi just stood there. Even though she wasn't aware that I was there, it was getting awkward so I crept around her and headed for the Accessory shop in search of Leon.
When I got to the door of the shop, I saw him checking the Post thing—I have no idea what that thing is for, I've never used it—I stopped to give him a chance to see me. When he finally spotted me He called out, "Hey, Yuffie."
I smiled and walked over to him, "Hey kid." I sat down on the steps.
He joined me, "I can't believe this is it."
"What?" I asked blowing some hair away from my eyes.
He looked down at his keyblade, "I'm going to go to the End of the World to fight…what's his face. And—" he hesitated, "What if I fail? I'm probably not as worried as I should be about my life—but I'm scared of letting the world down." he blinked and looked over at me.
"Heey. What happened to optimistic Sora? C'mon—you're the keyblade master, that guy has no chance against you." I ruffled up his hair and chuckled trying to lighten the mood. Seeing Sora down is just too weird, even for me.
He thought for a second then gave me a toothy-grin. He opened his mouth to say something but Donald cut him off, "Sora! Come on—we have to go!" my heart literally sank. This really sucked. He always has to leave me…no one ever leaves me. I leave them.
He gave me a hug and said, "Well, have a sweet life, Great Ninja Yuffie." He smiled again and then turned around to walk away.
"Sora?"
He turned around to face me, "Yeah?"
"You too. You're someone I definitely won't forget about…unless I get old and develop Alzheimer's or something." I said with a grin.
He chuckled, "And hopefully we do see each other again someday—I mean, we do need that rematch." I just smiled and tried to take a mental picture of him. He started walking towards the world exit and then he glanced back at me a last time and then he was off to save the world.
Stupid heroes. And I just had to fall for one.
