So Close

Warning: I don't own any of the characters or even the plot. It's a remake of a movie I saw called "So Close". I changed some of the pairings in the movie so there won't be any Yuri of the sort in it.


Chapter 2: The Policeman

Yuffie grinned and rose from her comfortable chair. The short haired woman casually walked into her kitchen and out into her backyard filled with flowers and spiritual things. Yuffie looked up and saw the sun shining in her victory, making the young teen grin. "Too bad school's out… I just have one more year and then… I'll be able to go back to mom," Yuffie smiled as she diverted her gaze from the sun. Taking a few more steps she could already smell the natural aroma or her prized plants. Yuffie's grayish-blue eyes scanned the garden and then found instantly what she was looking for.

Bringing out her camcorder, she pressed the record button and walked over to her aim. "Hey Dad… how's six feet under doing for ya?" She asked as she placed her camera on top of his gravestone. "Yeah, yeah. Tifa's doing alright… same ol' same ol' and bossy as ever," Yuffie rambled as she plopped onto the earth's soil with a thud. "So is mom okay? Tifa's birthday is soon… I can't wait!" Yuffie grinned. She picked herself together and crawled over to her camera. "Let's see here… ah, there it is!" Yuffie bellowed as she searched through the memory. "Remember when mom used to tell me to do this… well… I'm a big girl now… seventeen!" Flipping the screen towards her father's grave which on its platform 'Godo Kisaragi' was written, she showed him a memory of her jumping punishment. "See there! Yeah there you old man, Tifa was picking on me again making me HAVE to jump!" Yuffie complained pointing at her camera, "And here… well that one's self-explanatory… but still. I mean if only I were older,"

Yuffie spent a few more minutes reminiscing with her father but then shortly realized the time. "Hey, I have to go since Tifa'll be here with my ramen soon! Bye!" She yelled out as she quickly got up and brushed the dirt off her khaki, unbuttoned shorts. Quickly running, she managed to get into the house in due time as Tifa opened the front door and placed the grocery bags down with a heavy sigh.

"Yuffie, why didn't you answer me when I yelled out for help?" Tifa asked as she shut the door with her butt. Yuffie grinned and noticed her change of clothes.

"Nice wardrobe?" Yuffie replied as she hurriedly grabbed some bags and brought them into the kitchen. Tifa sighed and grabbed the rest of the bags. "So… how much money did we make off this one 'gain?" Yuffie unconsciously asked. Tifa smiled and whispered into her ear. After a few seconds of processing the information into her cluttered mind Yuffie's eyes grew wide. "WHAT!"

Tifa giggled and winked. "He said if the Angel gets the job done early… we get extra,"

"Now I can buy more CD's for our next job!" Yuffie screamed at the top of her lungs. Tifa walked toward her sister and gave her a hug in reply. "Hey, I can't breath here, your big boobs are suffocating me," Yuffie managed to gasp.

Tifa blushed and let her go. Yuffie coughed began to take big breaths of air. "So Yuffie we set?" Tifa asked changing the subject. The short brown haired girl grinned and gave a thumb up. "Good, now we can monitor more stuff, not only do we have their world satellite we took out the president of the Mako generators, but we also have ours."

"Yeah Tifa, but we got a whole lot of money too!" Yuffie brought up again. Tifa looked toward her sister and sighed thenreverted back to her thinking.

Tifa Lockheart and Yuffie Kisaragi were two of the best paid assassins there was or at least Tifa was, because Yuffie only guided Tifa. They were very rich and had a lot of modernized things to help them on their job.

Their house was one of the largest in Midgar, where they lived, which meant they didn't have to worry about nosy neighbors. Yuffie was in charge of the computer, which was hooked up to their late father's invention, the world satellite, which could pinpoint anyone in the world from space.

With the Mako satellite Yuffie could now look into anything that was hooked up to Shinra's computers. Tifa smiled then looked away from the computers, there was no need to look at what they were doing now, right now Tifa need sleep, and that's what she did.

"Hey Tifa, you have to go to the Loveless tomorrow, Barret will be pissed if he doesn't see you again," Yuffie yelled. Tifa shook it off and walked upstairs to her bedroom to sleep. "Night little fighter," Yuffie called. Tifa smiled and then entered her room.

Yuffie looked back at her computers and smirked, police were entering the building. Yuffie got up to cook some ramen at the kitchen behind her. They didn't need to worry since Yuffie deleted the record of Tifa ever being there from the cameras.

Yuffie micro waved her food then took it out. When Yuffie looked at the monitors again she saw a red eye in one of them. The monitor was connected to the camera in the Shinra's main room. Yuffie walked up to the computer, sat down, and then began to eat. She didn't pay attention to the other monitors but only to the one.

The red eye disappeared and it showed whom it belonged to. He had long black hair and a red bandana tying it back. The navy eyed girl cocked her head at the man.

((Well isn't he a cutie, he looks like a scary vampire, but hey he's still sexy)) Yuffie thought to herself. Yuffie smirked at the man and then turned the volume up on that particular monitor.

"This hole," He said in a dark sexy tone, "what is a hole doing here?" He asked himself. The other cops in the room turned around and looked at him.

"What are you doing here?" One asked. The man in black looked at them then turned around.

"You're a rookie, don't ask questions, just do," Another said. Yuffie pouted then listened on. The man was dressed in all black, black pants, a black shirt, and black gloves. Well at least one, since on his left hand there was a golden shine to it.

Yuffie examined him a little more then he walked off. Another man came on the screen he looked about thirty and was smoking a cigarette. He looked like he hasn't shaved in a while and he had blonde hair.

"Hey dumb arsses, you don't know that man do ya," The man bellowed. He wore goggles on his head and a blue jacket. The officers looked at the man as if he were crazy.

"And what did he do that was so great," One asked. The blonde smirked. He flicked the cops off and followed the way the other man went. The cops snorted, "Amateurs."

Yuffie grinned. She liked how the blonde haired acted, to the point. But Yuffie was more interested in the red eyed man.

-------

"Highwind," The dark haired man said.

"What is it, Valentine," The blonde spoke coughing up some of his smoke from his lungs.

"I'll be right back, I need to check something," The man said, he left the blonde in a flash.

"Damn vampire," The blonde coughed. He then turned around the flirt with a worker.

"There was something about that whole," The haired man questioned, "It was no amateur assassin, this one was probably a master," He walked up to a woman at an attendance desk and asked her a question, "Miss, do you know if I can see any messages that were recently sent,"

The woman looked at him in disbelief and shook her head and said, "I'm sorry sir, that's classified," The man nodded then spoke again.

"I'm with the Turks ma'am, if you don't then I am afraid you'll lose you're job," He stated.

"Fine sir, but if I get caught,"

"You won't," The man looked at her computer and surfed through the late Shinra's outgoing mail. "Ah-ha," He whispered. An e-mail which was exactly what he was looking for was there. "Ma'am will you please excuse me," The lady nodded and left the room. The raven haired man searched though the mail and read everything, yet one in particular.

((If you take this job, then you will rid this demon from earth. Angel, we need your guidance to kick his ass strait to hell… all negotiations can be held in heaven)).

Nothing was making sense, a lot of people wanted to kill the president, but now he was certain, it was an inside job. He then looked at the incoming mail when he saw a music sign pop up. He clicked it and music began to play.

Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to --

The man turned it off and then exited everything off computer. "That music cut all the communication off, the person who did this is no average hacker, it couldn't have been the person who killed the president," The man said to himself. ((It must have been a woman… or two)) The woman came back into the room and bowed.

"Sir, a man is looking for you," The man got up and exited the room and to the elevator.

"Where have ya been, I've been looking for you for hours," The blonde yelled through his cigarette. The ebony haired man shook his head.

"Cid it had only been ten minutes since I left you," He stated.

"Well Vincent, I found something," Cid said. He led him toward the stairs and pointed toward clothing.

"Now it is confirmed, it is a woman who killed Shinra," Vincent whispered. Cid nodded and they picked the evidence up and placed it in a bag.

"Now what," Cid asked. Vincent starred at the blonde then shut his red eyes.

"Now I ask permission from Tseng to be on this case," Vincent coldly declared. Cid nodded and they both head down the stairs and to the police station.

Cid drove to headquarters quickly and was greeted. "Why hello Valentine,"

A man with flaming red hair stood before them and smirked. "Tseng has been waiting for you guys,"

Vincent acknowledged him and began walking up the stairs to enter the building. " Reno," Vincent greeted.

"Damn you Reno," Cid spit out. He never liked the guy, so why start to like him now. Both of them entered the building to see two more people greet them, a machine cat and a tall bald headed guy.

"Rude, Cait Sith," Vincent bowed. Cid just snorted and looked away.

"Tseng wanted to give you this," The cat, Cait Sith, exclaimed. Rude didn't say anything so Vincent grabbed the letter from out of the machines hand and opened it.

"What does it say, Vince," Cid asked impatiently. Vincent re-read the letter then passed in on to the blonde. Cid read it and then cursed.

"Well I'll be damned," Cid whispered. Vincent sighed and continued to the main office. Cid followed shortly after Vincent's dismiss and cursed all the way. Vincent and Cid climbed a set of stairs then finally reached their destination.

A large double set of doors was before them, Cid stared in awe, but it didn't faze the dark haired man. Vincent pushed the large doors open and entered followed by Cid yet again.

A woman was waiting for them on top a desk. She had green eyes and short blonde hair. She wore a blue tuxedo and formal shoes. She smiled toward the two men and stood up.

"Well Mister Valentine, Highwind," The woman acknowledged. She slightly bowed and led the men to another office. "Mister Tseng is a busy man today, but somehow he managed to clear his schedule for you, Valentine,"

"Miss Zephyr, please, no need to be formal," Vincent commented.

"Elena, Vincent, call me Elena," Elena sternly said. The blonde woman opened the door to another room, it was dark and warm at the same time. Elena scooted the two men inside and shut the door leaving them alone in a dark room.

"Vincent Valentine of the Turks, a rookie, and Highwind, Vincent's assistant," A masculine voice said out of no where. There was a fire on the other side of the room and a chair upfront of it. Vincent pinpointed the voice to be located by the chair.

"Tseng, leader of the Turks," Vincent stated. Cid snorted at lit another cigarette. "Rufus is the president of the Mako Company now, do you want us to protect him incase the attacker comes back?"

A man with long dark hair stood up from behind the chair and walked toward the two men. "Did you read the letter, Valentine?" Tseng asked calmly. He walked over to the side of the wall and moved the curtains aside.

Vincent nodded and Cid snorted again while puffing into the air. "You promoted me to be a Turk," Vincent stated.

"I leave you with the Angel case, I'll have Reno and Rude protect the President. I trust you know why," Tseng affirmed. Both men nodded and left out the door. Elena smiled and entered the leader of the Turks office.

Cid smirked, "You know she digs him," Vincent looked at Cid forward again.

"Only you would think that, Highwind, only you," Vincent coolly said. That made Cid grin and puff some more smoke.

"Tifa, wake up," Yuffie yelled. Tifa abruptly awoke from her dream and looked out her window, it was still night.

"What is it Yuffie," Tifa asked hiding her disappointment from her sister.

"Come here," Yuffie urged. Yuffie was downstairs, eating as usual. Tifa got up from her bed and walked casually down the steps.

"Yes," Tifa asked. She looked in the direction of what Yuffie was looking at and she saw him. "Cloud…" Tifa stuttered.

A man with blonde spiked up hair was standing at the entrance of the house with a box in hand. "Happy Birthday, Teef," Cloud said with a smirk.
