Chapter 7
Farewell from a Ninja
A/N: Hey everyone, one more chapter for you all to read. But by no means am I done, yet. We still have two more people to go through and then the surprise for the Epilogue. As you can tell, this chapter is about Yuffie, and that wraps up the Avalanche POV's. But trust me, there is still three more chapters. As always, read and review, and honestly no money is being given to me for this. I wish.
Death is stupid.
Honestly, it is. I mean, what's the point? You're here for a bit, then it's over. Where's the purpose in that? I know I'm not gifted like Red, but I don't even think he knows the point.
For the last few days since this, everyone's been trying to console me. Going over this over and over again like I was still some sort of child. I still think it's stupid. And I think you're stupid for falling for death.
I didn't mean that, Vince. You know I didn't.
I just….miss you is all.
All right, maybe it's more than missing. After all, it was no secret that Tifa was after you. Or maybe it was to you. You were kinda oblivious to that sort of thing. With the angsting, the drama, the cape, everything.
But she wasn't the only one that had something for you.
I admit it now. I wouldn't have then. I would have given you some sort of excuse to hide it, like I was just trying to get to your Materia so I had to get closer to you.
But I just wanted to be around you. You were kinda the epitome of cool for a ninja in training.
Like how you used to sneak up on people, without them seeing you. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
But if you were interested in Tifa then, I guess I understand. I mean, compare the two of us together, it's kinda obvious isn't it? I mean she's got the legs, the chest, the overall beauty that all the guys go for.
And then there's me. Let's not go into the details.
But man, I bet she's pissed to find out you had a wife. I mean she's crying too, but I can just see the anger when she looks at her. To be honest, they've both been exchanging dirty glances since I got here.
And then there's your daughter. She looks like she could have been me, in another life. She's a bit more developed than I am, but she looks like she's from Wutai herself. Maybe she likes shopping. I'll have to ask her.
And she has to have good stories about you.
I hate the fact that I have to ask her about you. I want to ask you about you.
But that was never your strong point was it?
No, I'd have to say it was the killing, and the strange transformations. That's your cup of tea, Vince.
I guess this changes us all. I'd love to tell you in person that I've taken over for Godo in Wutai. I'm now the Lady of the Pagoda.
Funny, huh? See me in a dress officiating things, when just a year ago, I was off in the wilderness with you guys on our adventure.
Kind of a contrast if I've ever seen one.
I'll always remember you, Vince. No matter how hard you tried to make yourself oblivious.
Even with all the hiding, the cloak and dagger moves, and the sheer mystery around you, I'll be sure to never forget you.
I hear we're all going to Gold Saucer after this. Kind of like a real farewell party for you, since we never got to give you one when you left.
I wish you could be there to bet on the Chocobo races with me. Or the Gondola. Or that stupid play that you hated. Even that would be bearable if you were there.
I hope you know that there's a mastered Summon Materia in my conformer that I'm giving to you.
I want it back when I see you whenever it is stupid death takes me.
Think of it as a no interest loan for you.
Wait, I take that back. Think of it as a gift. Between friends.
