Well, I'm attempting this one on my own, since my muse is still angsting in the closet for reasons unknown to me. If it isn't as good, there's your reason. I'm pairing him with someone in this without previous consent just to piss him off. Maybe if I annoy him enough, he'll come out and try to kill me. Then I can tackle him and steal his weapons again and all will be well with the world again. nods Yup, that'll definitely work.

Pairing: Yuffie/Vincent (lighthearted, though, nothing serious)

Word Count: 369

Warnings: Kleptomania and kissing. Also, if you think that the ficlet has nothing to do with the word, it does to me. It's my word association thing. Sucks to the rest of you.

Summary: Yuffie will do anything to get materia.

Dedication: To my muse, Vincent Valentine. Even though you're being a complete bastard and not coming out of the closet (both literally and figuratively, people), I still love you to death! -

Disclaimer: I'm trying to use the Manip. materia to control Reno to proposition Rufus so he'll give me the money I need to buy the rights to FFVII. But Reno's got that stupid Ribbon. I'm going to have to steal it off him first. I'll have to bribe Yuffie for the Steal materia now. Crap. In other words, I don't own them yet, but if you come back in a few months, I might then.

Yuffie eyed the gun hanging off Vincent's hip, the Hades summon materia equipped on it gleaming teasingly at her. So red and shiny...

The ninja girl took a swipe at the ex-Turk's ass in an attempt to distract him from her steal materia working its magic with her other hand. The bastard just blocked both hands, batting them away with an icy glare. She smiled brightly, ignoring the cold expression and feigning innocence. "Yes, Vinny?"

He, nearly imperceptibly, rolled his eyes and turned away, leaving the young ninja to fume at her thirteenth failed attempt that hour. But did failed attempts stop her? Did they hinder her determination at all? Of course not! She was the champion of the earth and sky, the conqueror of evil, the single white rose of Wutai, the great ninja Yuffie Kisaragi! Nothing detered her from her goal! She just needed to change tactics, that was all.

After several moments of silent contemplation, her eyes brightened. Yuffie slowly slinked forward so that she was facing the gunman, smiling suggestively as she inched toward him. His eyes widened and his pupils dilated ever so slightly. Taking this as encouragement, she sat herself on his lap, straddling his hips, drawing even closer. This brought confusion. "Yuffie, what are you doing?"

The materia hunter only grinned wider and lifted her eyes to meet his, slowly closing the gap between them and meeting his lips in a kiss.

Even with her eyes shut, she could feel his shocked and bewildered expression. Yet, he slowly gave way, kissing back fiercely. Yuffie moaned appreciatively into his mouth. She slowly slid her hands down to rest at his hips, even as his tongue licked her lips, asking for entrance that she readily granted.

After they had pulled apart and recovered enough oxygen to speak normally, he cocked an eyebrow. "I'm not adverse to public dislays of affection, but what exactly brought this on?"

The ninja shrugged. "Just felt like it," she said. She skipped toward the back of Seventh Heaven, and in the safety of the back hallway, she pocketed the summon she had just palmed with a mischievous grin. Nothing stopped the Great Ninja Yuffie from getting what she wanted.

Hmm, I think it worked. I think he's going to try and kill me now, so I'd better threaten you all for reviews before he gets out here.

Leave a review and I won't set a raging, drunken Sephy on your household. For the record, it's not impossible to get Sephiroth drunk. It just takes a whole ton of alcohol in a very short period of time.
