Thank you for reading. I have to leave in 3 minutes, so just updating really fast :)
Chapter 2: A Strange Encounter
"And the next moment you know, I have my daggers right at his neck, whispering, 'I told you I would be back', and then I sent him into oblivion!"
"Really Yuffie? Tell us more!" The town's children gathered around the boastful ninja, their eyes sparkling with naïve wonder. Dressed in black like 99.9 of the town, her black hair threatened to strangle her as it wound slightly around her neck. She brushed it off, crossed her arms and casually leaned against the town pub's wall.
Meanwhile, another ninja with shoulder length brown hair sat down to the right of Yuffie, with her back to the wall also. She fingered her blue ocarina, sometimes tossing it into the air, grabbing it before it could reach the dusty ground. She was part of the .1 of the town, as she was dressed in a blue, flurry top, blue shorts, and a blue half dress.
She rolled her eyes at her friend, got up, and brushed the dust off her bottom. Yuffie laughed and started to walk off, patting the children's heads, motioning them to go back to their parents.
"Yuna, you can never tell a lie, can you?"
"I can. But my lies don't flow out 24/7 and like water slipping through my mouth," the two ninjas playfully punched each other, but with blows that could have sent a regular townsperson flying 10 meters off the ground. Yuna and Yuffie weren't just regular townspeople; you could tell with their eccentric clothes and eye colors. Yuna had blue eyes while Yuffie had green eyes. Quite different from the regular brown eyes most people possessed.
They ended up walking to a small run-down shop. It had an aura that wanted you to stay away, but it was the only shop to get your everyday mechanical needs. Yuna turned the door handle and Yuffie kicked it open. It was almost impossible to get in, as the whole floor was crowded with bolts, screws, and sometimes a random, helpless Moogle stuck in one of the engine parts.
"Cid! Will you clean your shop?"
"Hey, if I can't even clean myself, how do you expect me to clean my shop?" A medium-heighted man with blonde hair stepped out, slowly chewing on a toothpick.
"Getting out of your habits Cid?"
"If you can, I bet Lulu will bow down and kiss your feet," Cid laughed and popped his goggles.
Lulu was Cid's accomplice. She didn't do much, but she kept the shop cleaner than it was before. She was one of the most mature people in Spira, but always kept a doll around her. Lethal dolls. Yuffie shivered after pondering back at the time one of Lulu's dolls kicked her face while she was sleeping.
The door was kicked open again, bringing in a cold gust of air.
"Hey Cid."
"Hey Tidus. How long has it been? A year? Rikku sent you?"
"Yeap. I need a few parts, but you don't have to find them right now. You can take 6 months and I won't care. I have to carry back 10 tons of groceries anyways."
"Here, give me the list."
"Thanks Cid, bye."
Tidus waved and as he was hurrying by, knocked into Yuna.
"I'm sorry." Tidus kept hurrying, as he remembered last year, it took 7 hours to find everything Rikku wanted. Coming back with one thing missing meant hell for him. Cid's parts were an exception of course.
"Hey, what did you do?" Rikku elbowed Yuna as Tidus slipped out of the shop.
"Lookie here." Yuna held up a silver cross necklace on silver chain. "This is pretty."
"We make a great team." Rikku put her arm around Yuna and grinned. "I'm the liar, you're the stealer."
"I wish he had more stuff." Yuna frowned. "Let's see how much we can sell this for."
