I though I'd take a break from my latest Fanfic and My other two all together, so here is today's update for YUFFIE PLUS MATERIA EQUALS... DISASTER!!!!!

I do not own Final Fantasy.

A full list of pairings:

Chapter 10: Of Towns, and bombs.

Main Characters: Vincent, Yuffie,

.

.

Vincent awoke to the muffled sound of creaking metal, his eyes opened, he looked around for the source. Actually, he looked straight up into a large sharp protruding piece of metal about to fall on his face, but there's not much difference really.

.

.

Rolling out of the way, he heard the THUD as the metal smashed the floor where his head had been moments before. Slicing through the barred street with his claw, he realised what had disturbed him about the town. The center, usually a hive of bustling miners and archeologists stood silent, no movement or sound. Vincent walked through the streets, wondering why everyone he began to care about seemed to leave him, in one way or another. Vincent knew that the thought was incredibly selfish, but he thought it anyway, knowing that if he stopped and realised the true carnage that was left in the town, he would surely kill himself there and then.

"'nd a monkey, 'n some matreeeera" a voice behind him slurred, unbuttoning his Death Penalty, he turned around to find the source, and saw a very familiar body lying under some rubble.

"Yuffie!" He exclaimed, the relief evident, even in the word's simplicity. Running over to see the stricken Ninja, he barely payed any heed to the faint ticking nearby. Lifting Yuffie bodily out of the wreckage, he started paying attention to his surrondings. He lay her on the paving slab nearby, and stripped her of her blood-soaked clothing. It was about that time that he realised that Yuffie had a bomb tied around her wrist.

"Oh shi-" He swore as the timer reached "00:00"...

Ok, short chapter, but I only had about ten minutes.
