Woo-hoo, another update! Thought that if I get them up more quickly, I'm more likely to finish this fic off. Wrote 7 chapters the other night filling in gaps (plot-holes!)
Yuffie, again and still a little angsty (thanks go to kitsune13 who happens to like this Yuffie).

Pride: a sense of one's own proper dignity or value; self-respect; personal dignity.
At the root of everything was Pride.
Plain and simple Pride.
Not that Pride was all that plain and simple.
Still, Pride ruled her heart.
It kept her smiling when she'd rather cry.
It made her clown around when she'd rather be silent and still.
It made her bug people, when really, she'd rather be alone.
In short, Pride made her play a part.
Sometimes it was real.
Sometimes it was not.
But no-one could have told the difference.
Her Pride wouldn't let them notice.
At the root of everything was Pride…
…because, sometimes, Pride was all you had left.
