Xxx How goes it?

Cool...cool...ok first off...Thanks to all who do and did review...with your reviews, I can see some of you guys are getting the picture I'm attempting to paint – while others aren't looking deep enough and some are just looking too deep. Allow me to help you out:

Number 1: I do not hate Yuffs ok? I enjoy her spunk. However I do believe this is the way she would feel about Shelke and Vince.

Number 2: Vincent and Shelke are not a couple so far! They're friends...I mean they did kinda save each others lives...I would probably visit the person who saved my life too..

Number 3: I apologize for any spelling problems in my writing, I write these fast and the program I use doesn't have a spell check.

Number 4: In the second page, the man who put the book on Yuffie's lap was indeed Mr.Vincent Valentine, if I didn't make that clear enough.

Number 5: I'm trying to keep the characters in character as best as possible.

Shelke watched Vincent's shadow fade from the street as he turned a corner. His visits were never long but they always left her smiling and hopeful – hopeful for a better future.

She turned back and let her eyes roam over the sight of 7th Heaven. The people here, "friends" as he called it were nice people and they wanted nice things for here. She was almost sure she could learn and heal here.

Her thoughts centered to her "friends". There was Tifa, the brunette woman with a friendly smile and a good heart – she had taken up the part of mother to some of the other children here.

Cloud, the blonde man. He was strong and distant and rarely spoke much, but when he did, his words were always something important and true.

And then there was Yuffie, Shelke frowned at this one. She was loud and sometimes annoying, she was only a year younger then Shelke but she acted so much younger – immature.

She sighed, it would be hard to shed old habbits. In Deepground they taught everyone that the immature were the first to die. But she wasn't in Deepground anymore.

Yuffie was envious – Shelke was almost sure of it.

She believed that before Shelke, Yuffie and Vincent were somewhat close. Maybe not the way Yuffie saw it, but there was a close friendship there. Maybe Vincent needed someone to relate too, especially since old scars of Lucrecia and Hojo had been opened. And even though Yuffie was there, she couldn't relate to him like Shelke could.

Shelke looked up towards the swirls of stars, the planet, the lifestream – all seemed much more real up here on the surface.

Yuffie punched her today.

Even long after Yuffie had cleaned up the blood and went to cool down, Shelke couldn't help but wonder excatly why she did it.

Sure she had slapped her before, right after Shalua was attacked – Shelke deserved that one she'd admit. But today...

She leapt up from her bed, surprised by her agility even without the aid of Mako.

It was sad really, the pain and envy that the Wutai girl set herself up for.

Glancing out from her doorframe the ninja was still there, their gazes caught.

Shelke smirked, she saw the image of a young girl trying to hide her dreams, dreams of someone to support her and chase away her fears.

He doesn't love you, Shelke whispered inward, he loves...
