I do not own FF7.

Drabble forty-eight: In which we visit Wutai.

Mature

Lily was sick and tired of waiting, so she took Cloud up in her arms and marched foreword to a boat leaving for Wutai.

I mean, the war was over right? Why in the world hadn't Tayuya come back yet?

After witnessing that Cloud could grow seasick, they finally made it to Wutai. Lily discovered that it was peaceful looking enough and marched towards a large tower she spotted.

"Mom, people are staring at us." Lily blinked and looked over at everyone staring ever so slightly hostile. But oh well! Lily just shrugged and still headed towards the tower, watching Cloud grow slightly ill at ease.

"Don't you go a step further!" Lily and her teen turned around to see...a midget of a girl pointing at them with a big frown on her face, "Or I'll steal all your materia!"

Cloud groaned and hit his head as his mother grew a big grin.

"Oohohohohohoho reeeallly? ALEXANDER!" Lily revealed a gauntlet with two shiny looking materia in it. Cloud felt sorry for the girl as the large summon came from practically nowhere so ran towards the girl, almost hurling, and managed to get her out of the way of the huge blast that came their way.

"Mom, you really shouldn't be doing crazy things like that!" Cloud moaned, now on the ground, his head against some kind of cliff or rock or another and the girl was encompassed in his arms, trying not to move.

"Nobody is going to mess with me while I'm here! I'm just looking for my husband!" The girl still had not moved from his arms, stiff out of fear.

"Mom...this kid's a kid."

"S-Shut up!" The girl had finally spoke, yelling up at Cloud and Cloud discovered she had darkish eyes and very pretty brown hair. The girl paused staring widely as Cloud titled his eyebrow.

"But you are a kid, I just had to save you from a blast."

"Shut up! I'm not kid! I'm going to be the one to conquer over that tower!"

"So, what does that have to do with us not going in there? For all you know we could just be asking for directions!"

The girl paused darkly, blankly staring at the blue-eyed wonder.

"Directions?"

"Yes."

"Oh." The girl got off from Cloud and stared widely at the boy, "Really?"

"Probably, and it doesn't matter now because my mom rushed into the tower she got the chance."

"WHAT? THAT...SKANK!"

"Nothing you can do about it, except wait." The girl jumped up and down in a temper-tantrum,

"NO! I WANTED TO BE THE ONE TO GET TO THE TOP!"

"I'm telling you, my mom is just trying to find my dad, that's all, nothing else!" The girl looked up to Cloud with big piercing eyes all hopeful and shiny.

"Really?" Cloud rolled his own eyes,

"Yes, really."

"YAY!" The girl jumped against his waist, cheerfully and happily.

"Hey, you're getting a little touchy-feely here, I don't even know your name."

"Yuffie!" Yuffie gladly put in, still hugging the boy at the waist and Cloud just trudged foreword to the tower with girl around his waist.

"What's up?"

"Your dad's dead, and he's been dead for over five years." Lily gave him a sour look that had tears tinting on the edge of her eyes.

"Whoa, that sucks big time." Yuffie commented, blinking slightly and watched as Cloud's mother growled at him.

"Well it was nice meeting you squirt."

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Yuffie argued with him as they got on their way to depart. They bid each other a proper good-bye but as they reached back to their home Cloud realized something.

"That little midget! She stole my potions!"
