'There are 50,000 ways to say goodbye,' Yuffie thought sullenly, 'Why did I choose that one?'

Shame seemed to overtake her and she collapsed to the ground, "Goodbye," she whispered to it, trying to make the dirt ease her pain, although she knew that it couldn't. "I hope you have a wonderful life." 'Or death…'

He was leaving again. Sephiroth was leaving her again. He always left. His life revolved around Cloud's. When Cloud left, he did. He cared nothing for her or her feelings. Her mind kept playing back to when she screamed and yelled… and hit him. She hit him hard. It even made a mark on his perfect face. "Stupid Sephiroth." She seethed.

"Did you want something?" Yuffie looked up into the completely serious face of Sephiroth.

"No," she growled, "I don't."

He nodded and started walking away. "No," she yelled, picking herself off of the ground and running to him, "Wait."

She embraced him; burying her face into his back, "Don't leave me again. Please. Don't."

"I have to." His voice rang in his ears. "Until Cloud is strong I have to leave you."

Suddenly gathering courage, Yuffie nodded, "I'll wait."

"Good," Sephiroth nodded, "I need you. And I'm not going to be another person to just go through your life with no part. I'm not going to be another passerby-er."

"Good. Because I need you."
