A/N Did you know if you look at the Japanese kanji for woman and take it apart in order of the strokes it makes Kunoichi (a female ninja)? Which should clue you into today's guest, ladies and gentlemen let's welcome Yuffie Kisaragi!

Yuffie groaned, she was bored out of her mind, the ninja academy was out for the day and she didn't feel like homework, let's face it who does? She looked out the window, a small man with glasses was inspecting something on the family guardian statue. He looked pretty important, maybe he had some materia. She got a grin like a cat, if she could steal it then maybe her lazy bum of a dad would see that Wutai could be just as powerful as Shin-Ra!

Hojo was outside inspecting some flowers, he'd come outside after his soak in the hot springs of the palace, he'd been invited out as a guest of Emperor Godo in a show of good faith to Shin-Ra. The scientist sighed, this place was so boring, he was expecting something interesting like a ninja attack or something entertaining. But no, there was nothing even vaguely of interest out here, he was debating whether or not to cut his trip short for the sake of getting back to something interesting in the lab.

Slipping out the door Yuffie tip toed past all the guards and grabbed her shuriken off of the wall. Sneaking outside she found the man now studying some dead bird, this guy was creepy now that Yuffie got a better look at him. Sneaking up behind him she smacked him with the shuriken, only her hand slipped so it was with the point as opposed to the side.

"Oww…" Hojo moaned as he fell over, brain stem severed. Swift as a swallow his neural functions shut down and he went into cardiac arrest.

Yuffie stared for a moment, she quickly pilfered the corpse of any sort of materia it had before looking around nervously, "crap their gonna kill me if they find the guy!"

She picked up the body and dragged him behind the bush, though it was obvious since his legs were sticking out. "Not good," she squaked picking him up and shoving him into the nearest tree.

As soon as it was up there it fell out landing on the ground with a squishy thud. "Ack not good!" She grabbed the body and started dragging him towards the gates.

She felt her breath catch in her lungs as she quickly pulled the corpse over to the wall. Her father had actually left the palace and was standing on the balcony looking around, that was really bad right now. Not only because he'd be miffed she'd accidentally killed some guy but because, and the far worse of the two, she wasn't doing her homework. She was already failing in two of her classes but she hadn't told him that, and she'd rather him not catch her doing something that might make him suspect she was busted. After an eternity he went back inside and she continued her quest to hide the body.

Yuffie hid behind the building as she saw a man with silver hair and another man with short spiky black hair walk by. They were guests at the palace, and if they saw a dead body then there would be trouble big time. She dragged the body out through the front gates towards the woods, no one would look there, she pulled it off of the path and started pulling braches over it. When she was satisefyed no one would stumble across it she brushed her hands together and walked back to the palace ogling her new materia.
