Chapter Six: Soon, very soon

Disclaimer: I don't care either way.

"Put it on!"

"I am not going to put it on."

"Come on! Put it on!"

"No! I'm not putting it on!"

Pouting Yuffie snatched the bracelet up, and examined it. She looked up to Leon with puppy dog eyes.

"Please put it on! It will make Kairi feel good! Come on!"

He looked up to her, sighed, took the bracelet from her, looked at it for a second, and then set it down on the table.

"No." He stated sharply, standing up and leaving the room. Yuffie grumbled something about an emotionless bastard, and then followed him out of the hotel room.

"You little bitch! You get back here!" Mandolyn hurried out of her foster father's apartment, pulling her green woolen coat tighter about her. She quickly whipped her tears away as she tried to block out her foster father's ranting. Sniffing she turned into a different street, and broke into a run.

Panting, she stopped as she reached the doors to the third district. She looked up to the doors, still breathing hard. She didn't know where to go; she obviously couldn't go home, not to her bastard foster father. Especially after now.

As she walked through the street she looked around on both sides of the street. What she is looking for, she doesn't know. Who who who, who can I go to? She asked herself continuously. Wait. . . Sora! She hurried through the doors, and then stopped as she gazed upon the big crowd of the market place.

"I'll have to cut through an alley," she said to herself, and turned into the alleyway. She felt the rain drops on her head, and quickened her pace. She pulled the coat tighter around her, as she looked up to see four men blocking the alley. She stopped, her breath coming out shallow and sharp. She felt the rain and cold closing in about her as the men walked up to her. They were ugly, wearing black pants and jackets, one appeared to be Mexican, one was white, one was black, and the other one looked Indian, and looked like raping thieving bastards. She took a step back; she didn't like the looks on their faces. Now terrified, she figured that she was going to die. Well, after they rape her numbers of times probably. Hoping that they were unable to run, she turned around swiftly and started running. They were after her in about a second, they grabbed her and pulled her down to the ground, and they tore her coat open and ripped her dress open. Getting sick of her screaming, one on the men covered her mouth with his hand. She quickly bit his hand, and he yelped, and then smacked her in the face.

Just when they were about to pull her underwear down, the man kneeling between her legs, started unzipping his pants. Just then, a figure appeared, and threw him off of her, then started pounding the other guys' faces in. While he mercilessly beat up the men, she pulled the coat around, as her dress was completely torn in half. Because it was dark and pouring, she couldn't tell who it was. Her rescuer finished off the last guy, then turned around and fled.

Surprised that he had run after saving her life, she stood up to try and follow him, but was too slow. She sighed as she stared down the alley into the street. She heard the men stirring, and she quickly made her way the way she was going in the first place.

She got to the end of the alley, then turned around and stared down it; she sighed, and made her way to the hotel.

"She's out there, and I want her back here." He paused, taking deep breaths, "And I want her unharmed. Ya got that? Can you handle this?" He put the cigarette to his lips; he then took a long drawl from it, then removed it and blew out a ton of smoke. "No I want you to do this; I wouldn't trust Lou to go buy a pack of cigarettes and beer!" He waited listening to the person on the other line. "You get her back here, and this time, she ain't gonna get away from me." He stated with a deep husky voice. "Good, and Jack, try to hurry, I have things. . . planned." He started laughing, sounding more like a small rumbling. Sam Doros slammed the grey phone down, and smoking his cigarette he looked out of his window into the street.

He took one last drawl, then blowing out the smoke, he put the cigarette out in the small astray.

"She's gone too far this time."

"I still don't believe you "fell"." Yuffie stated quite plainly; wrapping Sora's hand in a bandage.

"I fell!" He said defensively, wincing as she finished wrapping it.

"Your knuckles are all bloody and cut open, like they opened on somebody's face." She said, staring him straight into the eyes.

He looked down, flexing his fingers. After a couple minutes of silence, Yuffie sighed, standing up.

"Come on, Aerith has better healing skills than I do." He stood up and followed her out of his room. As they walked out of the room, Yuffie watched him, he has some emotion on his face, but she doesn't know what it is. She shook her head, and followed him out of the hotel, in search of Aerith.

Mandolyn pushed the doors open to the café, getting out of the cold and icy sleet, which had taken the place of the rain. She brushed her coat off, and pulled it tighter about her, taking in the room. It was crowded, almost all the booths occupied, except for one, near the back. She made her way to the booth, sliding into it, she ordered a coffee, and then sat back, looking around the café.

"That'll do it for now." Aerith finished wrapping up his hand. He thanked her, than grabbed his coat, leaving Cid's Shop. He sighed as he stopped; watching the snowflakes fall to the ground. He shook his head confusedly. He still wasn't use to the weather in Traverse Town.

He made his way slowly to the café; shivering from the cold. The snow was starting to come down harder, making it difficult to see where you're going. He looked up as four men approached him. Sora stopped waiting for them. He'd seen them before, but only once. They looked like they're part of a mob. Black pants, black leather jackets, sunglasses, you know the sort.

The one walking in front of the group, seemed to be the leader; but something told Sora that he too, had a boss. They reached him, and the man in front slowly looked Sora up and down, face expressionless.

"Can I ask you a question?" Then man asked in a deep, professional sounding voice. Sora shifted his body weight, trying to make a comfortable standing position.

Sora cleared his throat nervously, "Sure, what about?" Sora said, trying to act casual.

Then man reached into his coat pocket, pulling out a folded up picture.

"Have you seen this woman before?" Then man asked, unfolding the picture, holding it up in front of Sora's face. He looked at it, eyes went wide for a second, then returned to normal. Looking back up to the man, Sora shook his head.

"I've never seen her in my life." He watched Sora, wondering if he should believe him.

He took a deep breath, then folded the picture up, returning it to his coat pocket.

"Thank you," the man said, nodded his head curtly, then turned around, and walked to the front of the other men, then they followed behind him. Sora watched them leave; he knew who was in that picture, and he was going to find her before they did.

Mandolyn finished her coffee, then stood up to leave. She had some money that she had lifted from her foster father, so she needed to find a clothing store. She made her way out of the café; she stepped to the snow covered ground, She took only one step, when someone grabbed her and pulled into an alley. She struggled as a hand was placed over her mouth, about to bite his hand, her eyes fell on the men walking past, she knew them, her fathers hit men. She froze, and the hand loosened. They soon disappeared, and she whipped around to face . . .

"Sora?"

Three hours earlier

Riku closed the newspaper as Zephyr walked up, with that look in her eyes. Grinning, he tossed the paper aside as she straddled him.

"You know, we shouldn't be doing this where people could see us." He murmured as she wrapped her slim arms around his neck as she pressed her self against him with his arms around her waist.

"You know you want to." He didn't get to answer because she started kissing him passionately.

"OH SWEET JESUS!" She sprang off his lap, both looking like deer caught in headlights. Leon slowly scratched the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed. He sucked both lips into his mouth, looking away from them, trying not to cry. He dragged his finger across his lips before nervously rubbing his chin.

"I-I'll go." He turned to go, still red in the face. "And I'll pretend that never happened." He continued muttering to himself as he left Cid's shop. They burst out laughing as she sat back down in his lap.

"Okay, that was defiantly worth it."

"I am not going to do that! Come on that's disgusting!" Sora threw his head back.

"Come on you have to! I've got to get them back." Yuffie bit her lip and thought for a second. She fought with her self for a few minutes, before sighing and agreeing to it.

"YES! Thank you so much!" Yuffie rolled her eyes. But before Sora could walk out, she grabbed his collar and shoved him against the wall.

"Squall does not find out, got it? You get someone to distract him and keep him away." Sora looked at her confusedly.

"Why?" She rolled her eyes, letting him go.

"Want to die soon?" His eyes got wide.

"Gotcha, seeya in three in a half hour. Be ready, and I'll get rid of Leon, don't worry I will." Yuffie watched him walk away and sighed again.

"What have I gotten myself into?"

20 minutes after Sora found Mandolyn

"Hey, stop necking, that's disgusting, cut it out!" Riku pulled away from Zephyr and she sighed.

"What do ya want old man?" He glared at her before lighting a cigarette.

"Yuffie wants you two in the green room, she said its important."

"Is something wrong?" Leon appeared at the doorway with his question, avoiding looking at the couple. Cid nodded no.

"I need you to help me with something in the back." Nodding, he followed him as Riku and Zephyr started for the hotel.

Sora looked down to his watch, 4:30, shit. He looked up to Mandolyn who was buying some pants and a shirt in the department store. He quickly walked inside and called her over.

"I have to go do something, where do you want to meet afterwards?" She thought for a second, before scribbling an address on a piece of paper and handing it to him. He waved goodbye before running towards the district doors.

"Where is he?" Yuffie asked anxiously to herself as the minutes ticked by. She suddenly heard panting as Sora came flying through the balcony doors. He stood in front of her, trying to breathe.

"They just entered the hotel, ready?" She grinned.

"As ready as you are, I'm sure."

"Wonder what she wants?" Riku shrugged and as they reached the green room, where moaning could be heard. Eyebrows arched, they grinned, and pushed open the door. Two people were wrapped up in blankets on the bed.

"Leon, get off of her for a second, jesuuuus," It just occurred to her that he was down with Cid. They looked at each other then back to the bed where Yuffie fell off flushed and panting. Her eyes widened in fear as another head popped up.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Leon's head shot up as the scream consisting of female and male voices floated through the doors; another scream ripped through the air as faint laughing could be heard.

Yuffie rolled off, laughing so hard she could barely breath. Sora fell off the other side, crying as hard as he was laughing. He helped her stand where they leaned against the wall and she pulled her shirt up; she had only pulled it down a little bit so she had to cover up with a blanket to make it look real.

"Whoo, that was good." Sora nodded, then sighed, sliding to the floor. Yuffie cracked her neck, then glanced down to him.

"How long do you think it'll take them to realize we weren't really in bed together?" Sora thought for a second as he fought to contain his breathing.

"Soon, very soon."

(A/N: I know got get rid of this story, but I read through it and it was pretty funny, so I'm continuing it.)
