Yuffie was standing outside her mansion eating a pop tart and waiting for Vincent to pick her up for school just like every other day. However, today she was early, so she called her boyfriend, Reno.

'Yo its Reno you know what to do,' came the unmistakeable sound of Reno's voicemail.

She didn't even leave a message, knowing he wouldn't even so much as check who it was. That's when Vincent pulled up in his black eclipse. Yuffie loved Vincent's car because it was so much better than hers. She had a twenty year old green Chevy truck, and hated it, but she couldn't afford anything else. Her mom had passed away years ago and her dad was filthy rich, but he always told her she had to pay for everything she used. Plus gas is so expensive, so she had Vincent pick her up everyday, even though it was a little out of the way.

"Did Reno ever call you back?" Vincent asked as soon as she got in the car and fastened her seatbelt.

"No," She said at first, then realized that this made Reno seem like a bad boyfriend so she added, "but he text me this morning." One little white lie wouldn't hurt.

Vincent could see the sadness in her eyes. He knew Reno didn't call her back, he never did, but he played along anyway. "Really? that's a first," he said acting surprised.

She couldn't do it though, she couldn't lie to Vincent. "No, but he did in my dream." She didn't like talking to Vincent about Reno. "Well let's get going. We're gonna be late if you don't hurry up!"

School, Yuffie's locker between 2nd and 3rd period

"Dammit you stupid piece of shit OPEN!" Yuffie was having locker problems again.

"Hey babe, locker troubles again?"

Yuffie was surprised, Reno never came to her locker.

"Yeah, can you help me?" she asked sheepishly, her cheeks turning pink.

That's when Vincent came to walk with Yuffie to class. He was more surprised than Yuffie was.

"Reno what are you doing here?" he said coldly.

"What a guy can't help his girlfriend with her locker?" Reno was pissed that Vincent said that, it made him look like a bad guy. He also made it sound like Yuffie was Vincent's girlfriend. "Yuffie can I talk to Vincent alone?"

She nodded, then he kissed her for what, to Vincent, seemed like hours, before she left.

"What's your problem man Yuffie's MY girl not yours." Reno snarled as soon as Yuffie was out of earshot.

"You wish to know what my problem is? It's that you are an asshole to her, but that's not what really bothers me. What really bothers me is that your cheating on her with at least EIGHT other girls. Yuffie is my friend and I want you to break up with her because I'm supposed to protect her from assholes like you."

"Why would I break up with her? She's hot and I ain't seen her in bed yet, so fuck you man!" Reno said in a cocky tone.

"And you never will" Vincent said, his blood boiling right after the bell rang

Lunch

Vincent sat at the table where he normally did. He usually sat with Yuffie and Tifa (the rest of the group had a different lunch) but Tifa wasn't there yet. As soon as Vincent sat down Yuffie had to talk.

"So Vince what did you and Reno talk about?"

"That's none of your concern, but Yuffie, I don't like Reno." Vincent replied coldly

"Aw, why not? He's a great guy if get to know-"

"No, he's not Yuffie. He doesn't treat you right and he cheats on you." Vincent regretted that as soon as it came out.

Yuffie didn't believe him. She simply didn't want to. She was mad that he had said that.

"How would you know? You don't even know him. I can't believe you, I mean its alright if you don't like him but you don't have to lie about him!"

Vincent now pissed off now.

"Yuffie why would I lie to you? I'm just trying to protect you," he insisted, determined to keep this friendship with Yuffie going.

Yuffie rose to her feet and snapped, "Well then stop tiring to protect me!" she said coldly, then turned on her heel and walked away. Vincent watched her for a while, her ninja headband billowing behind her angrily. He sighed sadly. Vincent loved her more than a friend, but he wouldn't admit his crush on Yuffie. Not whilst Reno was still on the scene.

Tifa. Who was across the room had witnessed the last part. She headed over and sat down, opposite Vincent

"What was all that about?" she asked, both concerned and confused.

"Nothing you would understand."

AN: This one is short too but I promise the next one will be longer and I know I'm making Reno look bad, but don't get me wrong I'm a Reno fan but I couldn't find anyone else to fit the part. Please review I enjoy reviews, and I'm supper friendly almost as friendly as Yuffie.
