Yuffie Kisaragi had a sixth sense of sorts. She always seemed to be able to tell when one of her friends was in trouble. Sadly, most of the time, she seemed to hurt them more than she did to help. It was a good thing that she had Squall there to back her up. Even through all their argument, the fact that they were extremely opposite never seemed to matter. They were always backing each other up. Right now her 'sixth sense' was telling her that something was seriously wrong with Squall. It didn't help that she got the feeling that she couldn't help him. This was something that he needed to do on his own.

She settled herself on the ground and twirled a kunai expertly in-between her fingertips. Squall…Leon…whatever he wanted to be called, was a challenge. He was complicated. And Yuffie Kisaragi had decided long ago she didn't like complicated things. But somehow Leon was a different sort of complicated. He made her heart flutter and she always felt like she was making a fool out of herself when she was around him. Suddenly she felt someone 'thump' to the ground next to her. Slowly, she turned her head and smirked widely at the man, "Hey Squall."

"It's Leon," was his gruff reply as he glared.

"Sure it is," her smile did not falter and he had to look away, nearly positive that if he kept looking he would end up blind from the brilliance of her smile.

There were a few seconds of silence, which Yuffie was more than willing to break, when Squall asked, "Do you miss home?"

"I don't really remember home… so no. Besides, it doesn't matter. This is my home now; you are my family, y'know?"

He smiled at her, "Yeah…I think I do." His answer was simple and exactly what she expected, but what he did next shocked her beyond reason. He held her hand. For once Yuffie didn't feel lonely while watching the sunset. He was her Squall, her family. 'I guess my sixth sense was right…but then again it always is because I am the Great Ninja Yuffie…I'm glad that Squall solved whatever it was that was bugging him…I'm glad that I might have helped a little, too.'
