Chapter 2
Just my luck, I've been travelling for the past six months and It had been great, I mean, I can do any thing I want. For instance I have been borrowing (A.N. she means steeling!) peoples items and materia and then they disappear so I can't return them! NUCK! NUCK! NUCK! Due to my fabulous looks and personality I've am able to stay at any hotel free of charge. (A.N. she has been breaking and entering! Does this girl have no conscience?) I've been able to hitch rides to where ever I wanted to go, (A.N. mostly a stow away) and that's how I found out I get travel sick! With all the problems I have already I just had to have travel sickness! (A.N. Yuffie takes a deep breath) Anyway as I was saying, I've been travelling for the past six months and I was taking a short cut through a forest and I encountered a small band of people, three in all.
There was a really, really tall black man who appeared to be in his late thirties, early forties, at least seven feet five inches tall and bulging mussels and what appeared to be some kind of gun grafted on where his right hand should be. There was a women with long brown hair that went down past her bum and was about five feet seven inches tall, she looked to be in her late teen years or her early twenties. While watching the group I was surprised she never toppled over for she was well endowed if you catch my meaning. I did not see weapon on her so figured the others to did all the fighting. Lastly there's the spiky headed jerk! This guy had light spiky blond hair that came at you from every where. He was about six feet two inches tall and carried a sword as big as himself! I was surprised he could even carry it for it looked heavier than him. I had planned on leaving them alone but I caught a glimce of spiky's eyes and then remembered one of my goals which to destroy everything to do with Shinra and that meant killing anyone that was a member of SOLDIER.
Your probably wandering how I came to the conclusion that this spiky headed jerk was a member of SOLDIER, (A.N. we all know how she does) well I'll tell you. I remember over hearing from my father that all members of SOLDIER have glowing blue eyes and carry a lost look in them. So tossing my plan in the bin I devised a new plan, one that involved killing the spiky headed jerk and taking everything of value off of his companions. It did not go as planned.
The first thing I did was throw a couple of smoke bombs to disorientate them, it worked on the tall black man and the women but SOLDIER boy just looked straight at me, drew his sword and charged at me with surprising speed. I should of realised he was out of my league from the stories I was told as a child but I thought the stories were just exaggerated. Before I knew it I was in the foetal position cradling my head, he must of hit me with the butt of his sword when he got a good look at me. I gave him a look of anger and disgust but did not get up for fear he would kill me. During our staring contest his two companions found us, instantly the woman went to the spiky headed jerk and checked him for any injuries he may of sustained, the tall black man on the other hand took one look at me and laughed!
How dare he laugh at me! I'm a Wutai Princess for crying out loud, he of course didn't know that and I didn't have my fathers guard with me so it's was up to me to set him straight! I slowly rose to my full height, which was five feet, three inches and brushed my self off. Before he could react I lunged at him! I latched onto him and flipped myself over on his back, rapped one arm round his neck and the other pressing a Ninja star to his throat.
I had them where I wanted them, the man in my grasp must have worn a look of complete surprise, the young woman looked ready to beat me to death with her fists but the spiky headed jerk just stood their calmly looking at me with those big blue eyes that I hated so much. The first objective now was to disarm them and since the woman had no weapons I could see, I told that spiky headed jerk to throw his weapon away. He did so but he threw it at me! I barely got off the big man in time before the sword went over head. I was about to give him a glare that meant imminent death just as someone's fist cracked me in the face and sent me flying to a nearby tree knocking me out.
I awoke a few hours later in a daze, tied to, I presumed the same tree I struck when I got sucker punched. Those three were sitting by a small campfire talking merrily, well the tall black man and the women were but the SOLDIER was just sitting there with a distant yet bored expression on his face. I'm guessing that people who are trained to be in SOLDIER didn't have much of a social life or it was discouraged by their superiors so they could keep their mind on the task at hand.
I decided to keep my awakening to my self and try to escape these ropes, leave and plot my revenge on them. But there was a problem, They had taken all my weapons and materia. That in itself wouldn't have been a big problem if I had not fallen asleep during my rope escaping lessons! Gawd! I hate my short attention span! I only had one option left to me and that was to swallow my pride, ask them to untie me, give me my stuff back, apologise and to be on my merry way. That did not work either.
They, that means tall and black, long hair and well endowed looked at me as if I was crazy, they probably thought I had escaped from a mental asylum and was on the run! That spiky headed jerk turned from a living statue to a slightly more animated living statue and said they would release me when they got clear of the forest, he looked like he was about to say something else but was cut off by the big guy who said if I attacked them again he would kill me!
My blood was boiling! I was so angry, I thought my head would explode or it could be because I had a small concussion for being hit on the head twice. I shouted profanities and insults at them till I was red in the face, out of breath and wheezing, I started mumbling to my self about how my life sucked and that I wish I was a better Ninja and finally my disgust of Shinra. This had a positive effect on them when they heard of my hatred or Shinra, the woman started talking to me, told me their names, which were Barret, Tifa and Cloud. She told me they were a part of a resistance group called AVALANCHE. They were on a journey to save the planet and defeat Shinra. These were my kind of people but they were still allied with that Ex-SOLDIER Cloud so to me they were not to be trusted. In order to save the world they would have to defeat the greatest member of SOLDIER, Sephiroth! That little bit of information gave me a lot of questions because the last I heard of Sephiroth he died five years ago!
All this has me in a complete muddle, I think I'll tag along until everything makes sense or until they let their guard down, so I can steal their Materia!
NUCK! NUCK! NUCK! NUCK! NUCK! NUCK! NUCK! NUCK! NUCK! NUCK!
