I apologize profusely for the shortness of this chapter, TETYM was supposed to be long!
Begin chapter San
All I want to ask myself
Is what are you waiting for?
I comply for an inch of comfort
Sympathy is my only companion
And the screaming inside
Doesn't want to go away
Is there no where else
For it to stay?
I feel like a cinerarium
A place for ashes to go
When they feel the need
And I could get up and move
If I wanted to
But I always hesitate
And fall all the way back down
Yuffie's dark eyes followed every move Kairi's body made, darting this way and that. She was so focused that she failed to notice the faces Leon was making as he, himself stared at someone with interest.
A certain blond man who loved surfing more than air that is. Yuffie was so wrapped up in amazement she forgot about matchmaking plans!
The show would come to an end soon, Yuffie knew but still she watched on with growing respect and amazement. She hadn't found someone this entrancing since her first time viewing a dancer.
Which had been a long time ago. Her eyes glittered with newfound interest and her fingers shook with excitement. Very inch of her skin and mind was aching to find out more about this dancing girl.
The tiny red-head who had managed to capture the "Great Ballerina Yuffie"'s attention. When the silky golden curtains finally swung closed Yuffie jumped onto the balls of her feet and her hands banged together with the rest of the merrily clapping crowd.
Not because as many would guess she thought the ballet was good in general but rather because of one single dancer. I don't want to lead you in the wrong direction here as the narrator, almost no one could capture Yuffie's full attention even for just a second in time.
In fact most people acquainted with the eccentric woman had belief that she lived in her own odd little world. What kind of woman's best friend is a stoic business man with no sense of humor anyway?
One ballet student theorized that along with the punk and gangster stereotypes and categories people were put into there were Yuffie's. Whether or not that is true is impossible to tell.
No one is quite sure.
When she was young she had called herself a dancing ninja and posted pictures of weapons and sea horses on her walls. And of course the pictures clashed horribly.
Her family had always known she was out of the ordinary but accepted her nonetheless. And that was before she became big and wealthy, famous all around the mainland.
She walked around the people in the crowds and toward the stage with a grin on her face. At first a few security guards stopped her from going backstage but then she politely told them who she was and what she wanted.
One scurried off like an excited rabbit to tell the school dance manager whilst the other stared unblinkingly at her face. Yuffie looked out into the seats of the audience once again and giggled at the look she found on Leon's gorgeous face.
He hated being left behind or feeling inferior and that is exactly how she'd gone about doing this. "How dare you take it upon yourself?" Mocked a falsetto voice in the back of her mind.
The man returned to his partner's side panting and trying to catch his breath. "Ms. Daidouji will be with you shortly." He said between breaths. She raised an elegant black brow but smiled softly.
Then a dark haired woman in her thirties with a pale but pretty face appeared next to the guards. She had a worn frown across her face and her curly hair was pulled back in a severe bun that pulled her cheek bones higher.
Yuffie held out a hand in greeting which was taken lightly in return. Ms. Daidouji took a breath and smiled a little. "Have you decided on any of our students? We take pride in our children's talents here at Traverse and many of them look up to 'YL'."
Yuffie held up a lone hand to stop her from lecturing. "Yes, I understand you quite well miss and yes I have decided." The strict looking woman relaxed her shoulders and seemed relieved that she didn't have to go on.
It looked as if she had ben talking all through the night. "Mr. Leonhart and I will take two of your students." Ms. Daidouji was pleasantly surprised. "Two? Well, who might they be?"
Yuffie 'tsked' and faced the crowd again with a far away look in her chocolate eyes. "Riku Masaki," She stated with a pause to welcome the 'Of course' she knew Ms. Daidouji would reply with.
"And the other, a girl, I don't know the name just what she looked like from my view. A petite sort of girl, pale skin, bright red hair and a perfect figure." It was funny how Yuffie's demeanor changed to business-like suddenly.
The severe woman standing in front of her contemplated this information. "I'm not quite sure who it is you are taking about." Yuffie nodded to show she understood and squinted through the crowds of people to try and find the red head.
The girl walked by with a brunet boy and Yuffie yelped and pointed, "Oi! You girl!" Ms. Talent whipped around and made eye contact with her. Ski blue eyes, clear though without a trace of clouds. "Me?"
It was a sweet voice, too and Yuffie had to nod again when the girl pointed to herself.
She walked over with a confused expression. Yuffie almost had to step back with surprise, the girl was prettier then she had ben expecting up close.
Her face was heart shaped with a pointed chin and smooth jaw. She wore a cotton yellow shirt over a dark blue jean skirt and high black boots. It was a wonder no people were turning around to stare at her beauty.
And the boy beside her whom she had been walking with was the same boy who she had seen with Leon's new love! He was even more adorable now that she could see from a close view.
Ms. Daidouji cocked her head to the side and blinked. "This girl? Hmm, Kairi is your name am I correct? Kairi Fujisaki?" The red-head nodded briefly and gave Yuffie a weird look. "Are you sure this is what Mr. Leonhart wants as well?"
Asked the serious woman. "I make the decisions around here, thank you ma'am." She grabbed Kairi's arm and pulled her away from the turning glances.
"Okay how to put this, I am the manager of a dancing company that you might or might not have heard of. We take students from around the world, train and put on ballets with them.
From Traverse Town we have picked Riku Masaki and you." The red-head blinked, "Me? You're picking me? But I'm no one! I can understand Riku but why me?" Yuffie sighed.
"Because you were even better than stupid Masaki on the stage." Her blue eyes looked startled. "Thanks I guess..." The brunette nodded. "It's a pleasure to have you on the crew.
You are allowed to bring along two friends as we travel around the mainland but that is all. Blah, blah, blah there are a lot of rules to cover but I don't do that crap, ask Mr. Leonhart tomorrow when we come to pick you up, okay?"
Kairi was starting to notice Yuffie's oddness but she was one to take difference and like it. "Just give me your address so we can pick you up." She nodded and scribbled it down on the back of the gum wrapper Yuffie handed her.
"Alright then, I will be seeing you!" Yuffie bounced away with a contented look on her face, leaving a still shocked Kairi behind. Sora bounded over with a look of concern on his face.
"What happened?"
Only one thought was going through Kairi's head.
'Who am I going to bring other then Sora?'
-Let us stroll over to the other side of the large play room now to our blond surfer-
Cloud looked down at his hands, knowing the blush across his cheeks was already forming. Leon was staring at a picture not far at all from Mr. Strife's head.
The blond of course just thought the sexy brunet was looking at the painting, he had no idea Leon was secretly spying on him but did indeed think Leon's appearance deserved quite an award.
Yuffie's business partner walked stiffly over to where the blond was and Cloud being the clumsy person he was, turned and bumped straight into him almost full-force.
Leon whipped his head around to face the new object of his affections and only with a deep scowl. Mr. Strife put on a weak smile.
"Um, sorry?"
I am the ground you step on
A faceless hero to confide in
I am no falling star
Just the cause of every fall out,
Apparently
Aching to stand up
Get off my feet
I am a false sense of empathy
It is no fairy tale
My words aren't coated with glucose
Because my voice is too small
There is no integrity
Like a gnat on the wall at
Times I mean nothing
But don't forget
There's always someone to pick up the pieces
And put people back together
When needed once again
Finis Chapter San!
I bet you all know what's coming next! That's Squall for you. I really do hope you liked this chapter and I apologize for taking so long with this chapter, I haven't been at home much at all. That's my best excuse. I had already written this chapter but never typed it up because I never had a computer in front of me. I'm so glad Yuffie finally talked with Kairi! The last name Daidouji is from 'Card Captor Sakura' and can be spelled with to i's, if you squint hard enough at my words I explain her to look like an older Tomoyo. Can anyone guess who else Kairi's going to bring along with her other than Sora?
Look for the next!
