Yuffie entered Cloud's office where he was going over the latest treasury reports and pulled his chair out from the desk to face her. "You're my hero." she told him as she slipped her kimono off and kissed him.
"Yuffie, I…" Cloud knew there was something important he was supposed to do, but her naked body against his own surprisingly naked self distracted him from everything else.
"I know you're still not healed enough for much, but I've got you covered." Yuffie smiled as she positioned herself in his lap and putting his hands on her firm buttocks as she started eagerly riding him.
"You're perfect." Cloud groaned and clutched her cheeks harder as she easily brought him to fulfillment.
"You're not so bad yourself. Now you've got wake up." Yuffie said, suddenly getting off him.
"Wake up?" Cloud was confused as well as disappointed.
"Just remember, all you have to do is ask me what my perfect body will do for you." Yuffie said with smug satisfaction as she put her kimono back on.
"I'll remember." Cloud promised. "But don't leave yet…"
"Wake up!" Yuffie pleaded as she shook Cloud's unconscious body. "Please wake up!"
"Your body really is perfect." Cloud mumbled as he regained consciousness. "Take your kimono off again!" Yuffie blushed as Cloud opened his eyes and realized they weren't at the Royal Palace in Wutai anymore. "What…what happened?"
"There was an earthquake and a cave-in. We're trapped. You and Reno were knocked unconscious trying to protect us." Yuffie looked over to where Rude was trying to revive him.
"You were so right about everything." Tifa said in a sultry voice as she poured Reno his favorite drink. They were the only two people in her bar, since she had closed it early.
"I always am." Reno was all eyes for Tifa in the revealing dress she wore in his favorite shade of blue, as she came around the bar to sit on the stool next to him before she handed him the drink.
"However can I apologize to you?" she asked, leaning forward and tracing his tattoos with her forefinger.
"This is a good start." Reno lifted his glass up to toast her. He usually didn't like people touching his tattoos, but he'd make an exception for her since she was close enough for him to enjoy her plunging neckline. Looking at her impressive cleavage always put him in a better mood.
"But I need to finish it…how do you want me?" she tilted her head and smiled at him as her hand moved downward to caress his chest before she slid it into his pants and fondled him until she felt him harden. "I'll take this anywhere for you."
"Okay, um, you can get on your knees then, Tifa." Reno replied.
"Are you kidding me?!" Rude exclaimed in disgust at his partner. "Get a hold of yourself, buddy."
Reno stared at Rude then noticed Cloud and Yuffie staring oddly at him as well, and quickly stood up. "It's cold here!" he exclaimed, shoving his hands in his pockets to push his pants away from his erectile self. "Uh…we've gotten ourselves in a little trouble, haven't we?" he tried to say in a casual tone as he remembered the quake and looked around at the cave they were now trapped in.
"Why did you shriek before the earthquake?" Tifa asked Aerith as they waited for the fire truck to be ready for them to climb up the ladder and get into their hotel room only to get their belongings and climb back down. The hotel would have to be demolished and rebuilt, the earthquake had damaged it too much to be repaired, and there had been a few aftershocks that didn't help.
"The planet cried out to me. I think we have to go to the Crater. I don't know why, but that's where we need to be." Aerith explained.
"That's where Cloud and Yuffie are." Tifa reminded her testily. The earthquake might have shaken loose some of her grief and apathy, but it was being quickly replaced by bitter anger. "They can rot there."
"Then you can stay here, but I'm going." Aerith told her. "The planet has never led me wrong."
"Are you room 215?" the fire chief came over and asked them, looking at his clipboard.
"Yeah, that's us." they replied together.
"Okay, could just one of you go up and pack up all your belongings? We're trying to limit weight in the building." he informed them, holding the tethered harness up for one of them to wear in case the building started to collapse.
"I'll do it." Tifa said, and was up the ladder before Aerith or the chief could object. She put the harness on before she climbed in through the window. Once safely in the hotel room, she found their suitcases and started grabbing what she could. Opening the drawer in Aerith's nightstand, she was surprised to see a framed picture of herself with Aerith and Yuffie, taken at Yuffie's 17th birthday party at the bar when they caught her trying to pour herself a beer from the taps and dumped a bucket of ice over her. Aerith had scribbled Friends don't let underage friends drink warm beer! on the bottom of it.
"Are you okay, Tifa?" Aerith worriedly yelled up to her.
"I'm almost done!" Tifa yelled back before hurriedly putting the picture in Aerith's suitcase and shoved the rest of their stuff into the suitcases, not worrying if she put something in the wrong one, they could fix it later. She appeared at the window with the two suitcases, and Aerith climbed up to grab hers so Tifa could have a hand free to climb back down the ladder.
"They have emergency shelters set up for you to stay in." Aerith said when they were both safely back down on the ground.
"We don't need it, we've got to get the Crater, don't we?" Tifa still didn't want to see Cloud or Yuffie, but she wasn't going to let her only remaining friend go off alone on a potentially dangerous rescue mission.
