A/N: Just in case you missed the note in the first two chapters: this whole fic is the entry to my first challenge, by WishingDreamer5.
03: Ninja
Rays of sunlight peeked through the gaps betweens the curtains and cast themselves on the floor, indicating the coming of morning. Fluffs of dandelion seeds could be seen soaring in the breeze and the wake-up songs of songbirds filled the air. A pair of sapphire eyes opened to the noise, their owner clearly awake.
The blond sat up finally fully awake. He stretched his arm up and yawned, then rubbed what little stains of sleep that remained on his eyes. He got off the bed and scratched his messy spiky hair, messing it up even more. Suddenly he heard a noise.
It came from outside his room and he figured he should better take a weapon with him. The closest thing he found that he could actually hit with was an empty two-litre bottle of Hi-potion. Better improvise, he thought as he stepped out of his room.
He spotted something of a blurred silhouette move across a wall. Without thinking he rushed up to attack. The figure sensed him and nimbly evaded him as the bottle shattered from its impact with the kitchen floor. Looking around, he swiftly picked up a stray knife and shot it at the figure. Then the strangest thing happened.
The knife met something head first in mid-air, both objects dropping to the floor metres from each other. The blond saw what it was and instantly calmed down.
"Nice way of waking me up, Yuffie", he said with a tone of laughter, though his frown stayed plastered on his face. The figure approached him from a dark corner behind him but he reached back and yanked an arm, swinging the person into clear view in the morning sunlight streaming in through the window. She grnned playfully.
"Darn it, Cloud", she laughed, "how'd you guess it was me?"
"Well, it wasn't hard", said Cloud and shrugged. "There's only one person I know who could possibly block a knife with a shuriken in mid-air within seconds when it's less than an inch away from ther face"
"Good point."
