I will be going over my other chapters to make them easier to understand.


Chapter 9

Yuffie's POV

My whole plan to put Aeris and Tifa to sleep plan is not going to work. It would work had Cloud not taken away my status materia to make the team more relaxed around me. So I will do the next best thing. Looking the door will only cause Tifa to break it down so instead I'm going to cast Barrier on the door. It's a good thing that Tifa or Aeris don't carry any Debarrier or this too would not work.

Normal POV

Yuffie makes her way stealthily towards Tifa and Aeris's bedroom. As quietly as she can Yuffie cast the barrier spell on the door and snickers to herself. Too bad casting spells makes a lot of light. Tifa notices the light and runs to the door. Tifa turns the handle and pushes the door only to have in stop a centimetre open. Tifa starts slamming the door on the invisible force and becomes quite irate when it won't open.

"Tifa? What's wrong?" Aeris asks.

"The door won't open. Something is blocking the door." Tifa says still trying to force open the door. Tifa gets fed up trying to open the door and rips it off its hinges.

"Was that really necessary? The hotel manager will be quite up set." Tifa ignores the comment and tries to walk out the door only to walk into the barrier.

"What the hell! Someone put a barrier on the doorway!" Tifa screams pounding the barrier which was having no effect.

"Who do you think put it there?"

"I know exactly who! It's that little brat! Oww when I get my hands on her I will wring her neck!" Tifa says throttling an imaginary Yuffie.

"Why would she do that? Isn't she supposed to be trying to make you and the others like he again. Doing this would defeat that would it not?" Aeris says logicically.

"You should know that she only cares about three things. Number one: herself, number two: materia and three: Cloud." Tifa goes into deep thought. As she mentioned Clouds name. Then it hit her. The reason she would do this. "Yuffie! That little $!. She's doing this to get cloud to herself! We have to break down this barrier!"

"We can't, neither of us carry Debarrier materia. We'll have to wait for it to wear of." Tifa starts throwing a tantrum and breaking anything in sight.

Yuffie makes her way towards Clouds room. Just like Yuffie, Cloud had a room to himself which meant she could sneak him out without getting caught by the others.

Yuffie raps in the door and hears a faint mumble from inside. Taking this as a signal to enter, Yuffie walks in. She finds Cloud face down on his pillow.

"Hay Cloud, what you up to?" Cloud just mumbles into his pillow. Yuffie put her hands on clouds head and tilts it up.

"Could you repeats that Cloud." Yuffie says in a chipper voice.

"I said go away. I want to rest." Yuffie drops Clouds head and walks around the room aimlessly. Seeing as Yuffie was not going to leave until she got what she wanted, Cloud picks himself on the bed and look at Yuffie.

"What do you want Yuffie?" Cloud asks tiredly. Yuffie make her way to Clouds bed and sits down.

"I want you to come and have fun with me. Last time we were here you gave me a thousand Gill and sent me on my way and that was no fun. And besides you look like you could use some cheering up. So how about it?" Yuffie asks. Cloud just lay back on his bed. A sign that he was not interested. Yuffie pulls a face, grabs his arm, yanking him off the bed and pulling him out the door.

Yuffie's POV

The first thing that I did was take Cloud to a play and as luck would have it we were asked to play the staring roles. Cloud as the handsome knight and me as the hapless princess in need of rescuing. The play went well even though Cloud could not act but at least I got a kiss from Cloud. It is a shame it was part of the script.

Normal POV

Yuffie takes Cloud to the Gondola ride, the most romantic part of the Gold Sourcer. The ride operator says the ride is free tonight and gives them two tickets. Cloud and Yuffie enters the shack shaped Gondola and it takes off shakeably. The two are quiet until the ride comes to the pinical of hight for the Gondola and stalls. A woman's voice come over the com and tells them there's a problem that will take a while to fix.

"Cloud." Yuffie says in a quiet voice.

"Hmm"

"I did a stupid thing before going to your room." Yuffie admits quietly

"And what did you do?" Cloud asks concerned

"I cast barrier on Tifa and Aeris's room door."

"Why did you do that?"

"They were planing on taking you out on a date"

"So you blocked there door so you could take me on a date?"

"Yes.. I mean no. I just wanted to cheer you up." Cloud and Yuffie go quiet and look out their respective windows. The quiet lasts for a couple of minuets before Yuffie breaks it.

"Cloud ... Cloud do like me." Yuffie asks tentatively.

"Haven't we had this conversation before?"

"You evaded the question last time."

"Ok. If I didn't like you, you would not be on the team I would have followed the others advice and left you there." Yuffie looks down at her lap and plays with her hands. Again silence befalls them only this time Yuffie brakes it by standing up.

"Yuffie sit down. Its dangerous to stand while the ride is not at the station." Cloud advises

But Yuffie has something to do before complying. ((Oh gawd here I go, don't loose your nerve, just go for it.)) Yuffie thinks to herself.

"Yuffie sit dowumm" Cloud is silenced as Yuffie captures his mouth with hers. Yuffie quickly its on his lap and moves closer to deepen the kiss. Cloud sits there like a statue not even moving his mouth. The ride starts up and Yuffie ends the kiss and moves her head to the side of his.

"Cloud ... Cloud say something." Cloud doesn't respond.

"Cloud ... please say something." Again Cloud doesn't respond. Yuffie tries to get a response out of Cloud.

"Please say something." Yuffie says almost a whisper.

" ... Something." Cloud whispers back. Yuffie gets off Cloud's lap and slaps him hard across the cheek. Cloud just rubs his cheek without expression.

"Something! You ... you jerk! Is that all you can say! Something! I put my heart on the line and all you can say is something! The only reason I'm here is because I thought that you thought I as special to you!" Yuffie screams and starts trying to slap Cloud repeatedly. Cloud dodges a few slaps then grabs Yuffie's wrists trying to restrain her.

"Let go of me you jerk! Don't touch me!" Yuffie shouts trying to get out of Clouds vice like grip. Yuffie tires herself out and falls into Cloud's chest crying. Cloud holds her as she cries eventually she calms down enough so cloud can talk to her.

"sigh Yuffie What you want ... it's something I don't think I can give. So much is happening and I can't seem to find myself. I am confused most of the time and completely lost any other time." Says

Cloud.

"We don't have to move fast, we can take our time to find you and I will be here with you if you let me. Just make a choice." Yuffie says in-between sniffs.

The ride comes to a halt and the pair exit with Yuffie still holding onto Cloud. They walk back to the station area then back to Cloud's room. The pair stop at the door.

"Have you mad your choice?" Yuffie asks

"I have. And I have a felling I might regret it later." Yuffie playfully punches his arm then kisses his cheek.

"I promise you won't. And when we get the chance I want you to train me. If I don't get better I will only hinder the team." Yuffie says walking off to her room.

Yuffie's POV

That did not go as planed but the final result was good. Cloud has given me a chance and I will not mess it up. I just hope Tifa and Aeris will not skin me when they find out, well more Tifa than Aeris. Aeris will probably only supply the scalpel.
