A/N: Sorry for the long time between updates. Here is the highly anticipated chapter.

I forget these to, little late but whatever. Disclaimer: Square Enix owns FFVII and its characters, location, and etc. I own only the plot for this story and Chase.

Ninjas and Swordsmen

"Finally, Junon," Tifa said as they entered the town.

Junon changed quite a bit since the last time Tifa was there. It wasn't the little gloomy town with the huge city on top. It looked like everyone moved to the top part and the bottom was deserted.

She and Chase took the elevator to the upper city. In the elevator car, they stood opposite from each other. Chase remained quiet and didn't speak a word. In fact, ever since they made it past the mines and neared Junon, he acted like that.

Then again, Chase was a man of few words. He was just even more silent then before. Tifa edged a little closer to him until she was right next to him. He kept his head down and looked at the floor with his eyes behind sunglasses.

"Found something on the floor?" Tifa asked. "You're paying an awful lot of attention to it me."

Chase turned his head and attention to Tifa, "Sorry, a woman like you should receive all of my attention but something was on my mind."

Tifa was surprised at how Chase answered the question. He complemented her while he answered her question.

The elevator door opened at they both walked into the sun. Chase wasn't affected by it much, those sunglasses of his come in handy in times like this. Tifa on the other hand, had a hard time letting her eyes adjust. They were in the dark part of the city before after all.

"I'm going to go but the tickets. How about we split up for a while?" Chase said coolly. "We'll meet at that hotel ok?" Chase pointed to a hotel so far that Tifa could barely see it.

"Ummm ok, around what time?" She asked.

"In 120 minutes. Is that ok with you?" Chase said, already walking away.

"Two hours? Fine," Tifa yelled out.

Tifa walked around Junon. It surfaced on her that two hours is a long time to do anything. Why would Chase need all that time to but two tickets for the next ferry? Tifa shrugged it off; she didn't know Chase well enough to make much of an assumption toward his actions.

But she did feel something with Chase. He didn't shrug her off most of the time. Even though he remained quiet most of the time, she could feel him look at her through those glasses of his.

Tifa entered a boutique while she was killing time. She decided to buy new clothes for the travel ahead. So far, Chase only had decided to reach Costa del Sol and until he reached there will he make his next move. So it would be better for her to but things she needed right now before they would be stuck nowhere.

Tifa looked through all the selections of clothes in the small store. Mostly clothes for going out and partying but that wasn't what Tifa would be doing. Tifa sighed at the selection and started to head out of the store. She stopped when she heard some arguing at the back.

Near the dressing rooms was a commotion. Apparently someone wasn't going with the rules in the store. Tifa went to see someone very familiar. Arguing with the store manager was none other than Yuffie.

Tifa shook her head and then called out to her. Yuffie turned around and waved at Tifa in return. She stuck her tongue out at the manager and left the store with Tifa. Once outside, Tifa and Yuffie began to walk along the sidewalk.

"So Tifa, what brings you here to Junon?" Yuffie asked.

"Well, I'm on my way to Costa del Sol. I have to take a ship there so that's why I'm here," Tifa said.

"So why are you going there for?" Yuffie asked.

"It got boring serving drinks Yuffie. I mean, a year ago, sure I didn't want to go all around the world looking for Sephiroth but…Now, I kind of miss it. I'm just on an adventure to see all those places again," Tifa explained.

"All by yourself?"

The two made it to the hotel where Chase will meet up with Tifa.

"No, I have someone with me. It was really all his idea, but he let me come with him."

"Him? So it's a guy your with. Have you finally gotten over Cloud, Tifa?" Yuffie asked. Her questions were starting to get annoying. "Tell me, is he cute?"

Tifa never gave much thought to how Chase actually attracted her physically. He was pretty well built; as far as Tifa could tell by the skintight long-sleeved shirt he wore. He did have a handsome face.

"I'm not going to say," Was her answer.

"So he is cute," Yuffie said. "OK, you're staying here? Wait a minute…your going to Costa del Sol? That's were I'm heading!"

"Really?" Tifa asked. "Guess we have a lot of time to catch up then."

"But I'm taking the cruise though…" Yuffie said. "Are you?"

"I though you hated getting on anything that moves. Why are you taking a cruise?" Tifa asked.

"Cause I want to. I want to see if I got over my motion sickness," Yuffie said. She then looked past Tifa and toward the entrance, "There is a really cute guy behind you, at the entrance."

Tifa turned around to see whom was Yuffie talking about. Tifa shook her head as she noticed Chase standing in line to check into the hotel. Tifa then turned back to Yuffie with a smile.

"Looks like you have a crush on Chase," Tifa said. "Looks like he's checking us in. Guess he bought our tickets already."

"You go Tifa," Yuffie said. "You managed to snag a looker. Better try to keep him this time."

Tifa looked away. It is true her luck with men want the greatest, maybe it could change. Tifa looked back once again to see Chase already with the key in his hand and making his way over to her.

"Hey Chase. So how did it go?" Tifa asked.

"Well, Ms. Lockhart, we are only going to be able to reach Junon by taking the cruise over there. No matter though, it's not like were on a schedule. A little fun is what we're after, right?"

"Right," Tifa replied.

Yuffie called to draw attention to herself.

"Oh right, Chase this is Yuffie. Yuffie Kisaragi," Tifa said.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Kisaragi. I take it your coming with us then, correct?" Chase said.

"Yeah," Yuffie responded puzzled. "How'd you know?"

"I can tell. Kind of a gift of mine," Chase said. "The cruise leaves tomorrow, I'm going up Ms. Lockhart. Room 69 if you're wondering," He picked adjusted his duffel's strap and began to walk away.

Yuffie nodded and smiled, "You both so like each other."

A/N: Great? Review and tell me about it.
