A/N: This chapter is, as requested, about Yuffie/Leon. It's actually a part of my story "Hollow Haunting Past." Enjoy! :D

She faltered, her voice trailed off. Yuffie was looking for the right word, but couldn't find it. Was there any word that described death, cold and creepy all together? She highly doubted that.

Yuffie felt how Leon pulled her to him in an embrace. His white shirt became wet of Yuffie's tears.


A/N: Hope you liked it. Next chapter will be, as requested, about Aerith/Axel. :)
