Author's Notes: Hi guys, it's been a while since I've updated this story, but, I've had writers block with thins one for a while. I have had ABSOLUTLELY no ideas for it, until now. I hope you enjoy the long awaited conclusion. And I will be posting weekly from now on.

I didn't move. I just sat there frozen. The words rattle in my head over and over again. They're like an echo that will never go away.

"Yuffie is missing"

I sat there, my back against the wall. Leon was being held back by Cid and Rude. I didn't know what to say, I had no words. Even if I did have a comment, it wouldn't help me at this point. Leon would not listen to what I had to say. He was to focused on killing the last person who saw the little ninja before she disappeared. I wasn't scared of Leon, I knew him well enough to know he couldn't hurt a fly, but at this point, I knew I didn't stand a chance. His fists were clenched so tight that they looked like they were about to pop at any moment. He was all red from the rage and worry of his little sister. His knees were locked in place. He wasn't going anywhere until he knew I wasn't alive, but his facial expressions were the scariest part of him.

Tight jaw locked in place, eyes that were popping out of his sockets, his skin was all wrinkled, and his nostrils on his nose were flaring, like in the old cartoons when steam would come out, but no steam left his nose.

"I'LL KILL YOU! I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KILL YOU!" His screams were powerful and full of rage, but I didn't get up.

I had no energy. I felt terrible. I didn't do anything to Yuffie, but I was the last person with her before she vanished. I understand why Leon was angry at me. I know blaming me was the only way for him to deal with the problem, I would've done the same thing.

"I'M GONNA KILL HIM! I WANT MY SISTER BACK!" I finally got up and began slowly walking away. Cid had Leon under control and Rude kept him in place. I didn't run, I had no reason to. In fact I wished that Leon would be freed so he could kill me, without Yuffie, I had no reason to live. Nothing made sense anymore, but if I was killed right here for what possible could have been a big mistake, then I'd be happy.

Three weeks later

I came home drunk off my ass again, Katina wasn't with me this time. That was a plus because I didn't feel like hearing Rude yell at me again about her. Sometimes I feel that he has nothing else better to do then to yell.

I unlocked the door of our apartment building with my dented key, which has a story behind it that I will explain when it comes time. The door creaked louder then usual, which didn't help my case at that point.

I was clubbed. At least I think I was. It hurt me so much that I don't really remember that part. There was a throbbing pain in my head and then another pain in my torso. I was kicked hard. I couldn't breath, let alone stand up straight. I was gasping for air as if my life depended on it while Rude stood over me with a black bat in his hand. He had a large unimpressed scowl on his face. His eyes were hidden by his deep black sunglasses. I didn't know what was going on, but then he finally spoke after what seemed like ages of huffing and puffing.

"I'm sorry Reno, I had to do it." Nothing else was said. Nothing else needed to be said. I grabbed the nearest object that was sturdy enough to help me stand. I pulled myself up with either the bar stool I found in the trash, or the table that I stole. I don't really remember, but that was not the point. I pushed myself up just enough to be at eye level. I have no idea what had come over me, but I reached for my staff.

Rude was on the floor as I was just less then two minutes ago. I clubbed him in the head like he had done to me, but I didn't kick his stomach, I kicked his head. This had brought me joy to see his crawling on the floor like he was.

This continued on for hours. By the time we were done, we were both a mess. Shards of glass covered the floor and blood was everywhere. I lost vision in my left eye because of the glass but it did not hurts as bad as my leg. I looked around the room. No light was shining, but I saw the white newspaper from about two weeks ago. I looked at the headline at the very top of the page.

Midnight Murders?

A Picture of Yuffie was right next to it to it to complement the article. The paper has been sitting there for weeks on edge, and I've not touched it since that day. Suddenly I began to see a small light approach me, It was Rude. And Then I saw black.

I hear it. It's all I hear. Yuffie. Screaming for help. Yuffie. Being slashed in one of the many allies of Shin Ra. Yuffie. As her blood seeped down the cracks of the sidewalk and no one cared enough to notice. It was enough to make me go insane, but there was no life for me. No life for me to go insane. With her gone, I have no life, for she was my only life.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I looked around. I heard it, but no one else seemed to be paying attention. I asked people if they had heard what that was, but no one heard me. No one stopped, and no one cared. It seemed I was a ghost in a gray world that ran the lives of many, turning them into gray humanoids as the days went by, doing the exact same thing over and over again. It was a spell that no one could break.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Will he make it?

Reno...Sorry...Fine...

The noise continued, along with voices. They got closer. I ran away fast down the ally. But they were catching up with me. "GO AWAY!" I screamed but it didn't work. It got louder and louder until a bright light had engulfed it. It was coming.

Wake Up! Wake Up!

I'm...sorry.

HELP!

PLEASE! Wake Up!

Eventually It was upon me now. Then I opened my eyes.

I was in a bed. Many wires had stuck out from my left hand. My eye was covered in tinted red gauze. The smell of sick ran through the air, and many people were sitting in the corner of a small white room. Rude was sitting on a stool by the bad. His head was down in the palm of his hands and his back was hunched over bad. I turned to him.

"Hey Rude." I said in a whisper. I didn't say anything else. But I know Rude heard me. He shot up fast and his eyes were wide. I grinned, but I didn't show teeth. He smiled and everyone came to and saw me.

"OH, Buddy, I thought You were dead. I thought I had killed you! I am so sorry!" Rude was shaking my hand really hard. Then I remembered. I had no life to live. My life to live was gone and dead. I turned away from the rest. I guess not having a life was painful, because I felt as though I was under water and I could not reach the surface. No one was there to rescue me from drowning and no one cares.

Again, I was a ghost among the humanoids and they were all programed to think of themselves.

Just so you know, Katina (the mysterious name that apperared out of no where,) is a really important concept of the story and she'll play a major part as the story passes on. (And to be very clear, she is a hooker) I know it's taken me forever to even post a chapter, and i just want to say thank you for the pervoius reviews. I will update this story more often.
