Alright, I know the last chapter was very cheesy, but I had just watched a cheesy movie so…yeah. Anyway this chapter is mostly about Kairi and all them, but it starts out with Yuffie. R&R! Please!


As we walked back, my mind kept replaying what had just happened. And I don't think it fully believed it, I mean I knew I went out and found Cloud, but I couldn't process if I had actually kissed him. And he was no help at all; he hadn't said anything since he helped me off the unicorn. The only sounds were the occasional birds or some kind of animal.

I sighed, the silence was driving me absolutely crazy, "Cloud…" I began, but I didn't know what to say. He briefly glanced at me. "I…I read some of that magic book you gave me earlier."

"Okay."

"It was interesting…"

"Uh-huh."

I groaned, "Look Cloud, this isn't getting us anywhere. We admitted we liked each other so what are we supposed to do now?" I said.

"I don't know…" He replied, I could tell this was uncomfortable for him.

"I'm sorry," I said quietly, "I just want to figure this out. I'm a little confused."

He nodded, "I understand."

I laughed a little, "You know something? I actually never thought that you would like me. And now that I know you do, I don't have any clue of what to do."

He stopped, grabbed my arm firmly and made me face him, "Look, I don't have any knowledge on what to do in relationships. I've been fighting my entire life; I've had no time for social activities. So basically I am looking for some help from you here." He said roughly.

Now I know he wasn't being mean, or rude, but it kind of hurt. I bit my lower lip and looked away.

"Yuffie? Are you alright?" He questioned. I could hear the worry in his voice.

I slowly nodded, "I-I'm fine."

"Did what I said hurt you?"

"N-no."

He sighed, "Yes it did." He pulled me toward him and cautiously wrapped his arms around me; I returned his hold by sliding my arms around his waist and burying my face in his chest. His wing pushed me deeper into the embrace.

"I-I'm sorry." I stammered, I honestly didn't know why I was crying, it wasn't a big deal. So he didn't know how to be in a relationship. Why is that making me so upset?

"You don't have a reason to be." He said quietly.

"I know." I said, my voice muffled. I held him tighter, and I that's when I knew why I was hurt by what he said, I didn't want to loose him. I was afraid that if we didn't do something he would loose interest. And I didn't want that, I liked him. I liked him a whole lot. Now, I didn't say I loved him, neither did he, in fact I wasn't sure if I felt that strongly towards him…yet. All I knew was that I did have feelings for him, and he had feelings for me.

I felt him lightly kiss the top of my head and I smiled, "Thanks. I just think I'm tired and I overreacted a little."

He nodded and pulled away, "Then let's get you home."

I managed a weak grin, and we began to walk towards the town again. My only hope was that Tifa wasn't home yet…

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Tifa's POV

"What do you mean she left!" I growled as I picked up another book to throw at the silver-haired teen. He ducked and it hit the wall behind him.

"I TOLD you, she left, saying she wanted to find Cloud." He replied, dodging another one of my flying objects, "And would you stop that?"

"Fine, but tell me where she went right now!" I ordered.

"I can't do that, I'm sworn to secrecy." He said. I grabbed another book and got ready to chuck it at him. He glanced around frantically and backed up a step.

"I don't care! I told you not to let her leave the house and you let her!" I yelled. I heard Olivia stifle and laugh by coughing.

"Maybe you should go easier on him; after all, he is a guy." She commented. I looked over at her and smiled, I was glad she was feeling better.

"Hey, watch it Kitty." Riku warned. She just rolled her eyes and grinned.

"Oh, I'm so frightened." She teased.

"You should be." He said jokingly. I smiled, I'm glad to see that Olivia's happy again.

"C'mon Olivia, let's go spar." Riku said. Olivia laughed and followed him to the equipment room.

I smiled wider and glanced over to where Vincent was sitting, a pang of guilt went through me but I ignored it. I knew I was right.

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

I coughed loudly for about the 50th time in the past 15 minutes. I did not feel good, my head hurt so badly and I felt like I was going to hurl any second now.

"Unghh, C-Cloud…"I slurred, "I dun f-feel ssso good."

He looked at me, the slightest bit of concern showing in his cold eyes, "Yuffie are you-?" But just at that moment I doubled over and threw-up the soup I had just eaten earlier.

I came back up and wiped my mouth on my sleeve, "Oh…" I groaned clutching my stomach.

"I guess not. Come on, let's get you home." He said. I nodded slowly and followed him again.

As we were walking up the path, I saw Riku and Olivia come out of the house. It took me a moment to register that Olivia was back which meant Tifa was back, but when I did I gulped.

"Are you going to be sick again?" Cloud asked me, I shook my head.

"Tifa's back…" I said slowly.

"…." He didn't reply, I could see the realization though.

Riku caught sight of us and sauntered over, Olivia trailing behind him.

"Don't go in there." Riku stated bluntly. I raised my eyebrows.

"Why?"

"Because Tifa is pissed." Olivia added. My eyes opened wide and I groaned again.

"Great, just what I need." I said ruefully.

Riku bit his lower lip, trying to contain a smirk, but failing miserably, "I told you I was sworn to secrecy."

I gave a small smile, "Thanks."

"Did you-?" He questioned.

"Yes." I said quickly, interrupting him.

He smirked and gave me and appreciative nod, "Excellent. Well we're going off to spar. Good luck." He said as both he and Olivia walked away.

Cloud glanced at me and raised his eyebrows, "It's nothing." I assured him. He gave me a skeptical look, but let it slide. He opened the door and nodded me ahead of him. I quietly stepped in, so far so good; no one had lunged out at us yet.

Cloud and I silently made our way over to the steps without any problems, 'Maybe we can make it.' I thought. But my hopes went unanswered because Tifa's angry voice stopped us.

"Yuffie? Where have you been? I was worried sick!" She exclaimed.

I turned to face her, "Sorry Tif, I just wanted to get out." I said sheepishly.

"Yeah, well you're sick! And now you're going to be even sicker! Cloud you should've sent her back." She said accusingly.

"Sorry." He muttered.

Tifa sighed and ran her hands through her long brown hair, "Just…Cloud…take her upstairs."

He nodded and lightly grasped my arm, "Come on Yuffie."

"G'night Tif!" I called meekly.

"Goodnight. Feel better." She replied.

I allowed myself to be led by Cloud to his room, and if I hadn't been sick, this situation would've been thought of as disturbing.

I dragged my feet on the floor as I walked over to the bed and collapsed on it. I climbed under the covers, wrapped them around me tight, and shivered. Cloud, who had been leaning against the door frame, made his way over to me when I shivered. He placed his hand lightly against my forehead and frowned.

"You're very warm." He stated, "I'm going to get the thermometer and a cool wash-cloth. I'll be back in a second."

"Okay." I said, my voice very scratchy. I coughed, and winced because it hurt my already painful throat.

A moment later Cloud walked back in, he came over and sat on the side of my bed, next to me. He shook the thermometer and told me to put this under my tongue. I obliged and help the glass object in my mouth as he took out a wash-cloth. He gently placed the cool cloth on my forehead and sat there waiting.

I had a hard time containing the grin that was forming on my lips. I was highly amused, Cloud was playing doctor, and I was loving every minute of it. I never knew he could act so concerned, and…gentle.

"What?" He asked me.

I shook my head, and mumbled, "Nothing." As best I could, but it came out more like "nofhihng"

He leaned over and took the thermometer out of my mouth and looked at it. "102 degrees." He said.

I sneezed and let my muscles relax, "Uh-huh." I said, my eyes closed.

"You should get some rest." He said, while taking the cloth off my head.

"Mm-hm." I agreed. I felt his weight shift slightly so I slowly opened my eyes, he had shifted toward me.

"Goodnight." He said softly, he leaned even closer as if to give me a kiss. Butterflies entered my stomach and my face heated up. He paused and I could tell he was hesitating so I pushed myself up and kissed him lightly on the cheek; his cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

I chuckled a bit and laid back down, "Night."

He stood up and walked over to the door, he opened it and once outside the door he whispered, "I love you."


A/N: AHHH! I know I said this was going to be all about Kairi, but I changed my mind half way through. I just…couldn't. So anyway the next chapter will be all SoraxKairi fluff. (I bet KairiLuvs gonna be ecstatic) Well review please!
