Notes: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, there is some gore.
Insides were the first thing she saw when she reached the Heartless attack site. People's bodies ripped apart in the Heartless's need to get a heart. A child was leaned up against a building, bloody from a wound. A woman sat in a corner, her head rolled near her feet. These were people she couldn't save. She had been too late. Her strength left her and the need to vomit occurred at the same time the smell of blood hit her. "Yuffie," a hand was on her shoulder, rough, but strangely comforting.
"Squall," she cried, spinning around and hugging him tight. At first he stiffened, but he loosened up and wrapped her into his own warm embrace. For once he didn't tell her that his name was Leon. It would be pointless at the moment.
"It's alright," he whispered in her ear, "There was nothing we could do." The truth was he was feeling even guiltier than she was and was currently blaming himself. But, he couldn't let her take the blame.
"I was too late," she sobbed, "These people are dead because I was too late."
"Ssshh," he whispered slightly calming her down, "We couldn't have saved them all. Don't blame yourself Yuffie," he hugged her tighter, "Never blame yourself." 'Or you'll turn out like me.' He thought.
Even with this rare comfort from her partner, Yuffie continued her sobs. This had been the first mass killing she had ever seen and the horrors would stay with her for her entire life. Luckily, unlike most people, she had someone to comfort her. Squall. Her knight, her savior, her enemy, her family, her everything.
