Bust-ing Out!

[thegreatninja]

Characters: Yuffie Kisaragi
Where: Aqures Ixen
When: Late December 19th to December 20th
Summary: Yuffie is waking up from crystal stasis and more than just a few changes occurred. The cute little thief is now 17..
Warning: Some language and sexual humor~

Waking: Dec. 19th close to midnight

I was dreaming?

The crystal slowly began to break apart and disappear as Yuffie's eyes fluttered open. Her heart was racing as her nightmare came to an end. Her hand reached out grabbing at air as fresh tears streaked down her cheeks. Her throat tightened as a name trickled from her lips. "Yuri.."

She let her arm fall to the side as she remembered memories home. Her hands grabbed her head as she brought her knees to her chest. "Why is this so confusing!?" Those she knew here and those she knew from home. She unclenched her hand and looked at the white orb resting in her palm. It was real but it felt like she never left.

Wait.. Her eyes looked down at her chest. Things have certainly changed.

City: Dec. 20th morning

Yuffie wouldn't say she was adjusted but she wasn't going to spend her time mulling it over in a hospital room. It didn't surprise her that Mooshoo wasn't anywhere in sight and she was sure that he would eventually learn that she was back and come find her. He probably hadn't missed her anyway.

She walked through the city noting her two years of physical development. Would people recognize her? She was still the same height as before but her chest grew two sizes, and her eyes held the gaze of someone who has seen the passing seasons of war. Her hands went out and distinctly grabbed at her chest. She had to tell someone!

Comments

[thegreatninja]

Sounds like a lot of different things. You'd love the Gold Saucer.

[Not that she has spent a lot of time there but she doesn't know of it. There aren't many places on Gaia that she doesn't know at least a little bit about now.

Yuffie walks quickly through the snowy streets not really looking forward to being outside for very long.]

[line_piece]

What's that? Some kind of arcade?

[It does sound fun, though, just from the name.

Also, they're just about at Chiaki's place now, so she opens the door for Yuffie and slips her shoes off at the entrance.]

...Here we are.

[thegreatninja]

It is.

[Yuffie walks in and then stops at the removal of shoes.]

Do I HAVE to take off my shoes?

[It makes getaways harder and she isn't really used to warm welcomes from the other heroes after her last set of stunts.]

[line_piece]

Huh?

[Chiaki turns around, blinking.]

Doesn't everyone?

[For all her knowledge, she can be shockingly naive about certain things.]

[thegreatninja]

I don't like taking off my shoes.

[Even though she is older she still pouts at the thought of taking off her cute boots. Her father used to yell at her for leaving her shoes on inside too.]

[line_piece]

But they'll get the floor dirty.

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie has no argument there and so she quietly slips off her boots and walks into the house. It is bigger than hers and she can only assume that more people live here.]

[line_piece]

You can sit wherever you want, I'll be a few minutes with the hot chocolate.

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie plops down on the couch with a happy smile. She is excited to drink hot chocolate as well as get to see the inside of someone else's house. It reminds her a little of Angeals but with less homey touches.]

Cool!

[line_piece]

I'll be right back. Do you like marshmallows in yours?

[thegreatninja]

YEAH!

[Yuffie calls out after her a little excited at the idea of marshmallows.]

[line_piece]

Okay.

[Chiaki's voice barely carries from the kitchen, but that's just how she is. Trusting Yuffie will be fine on her own in the living room for now, she sets to work making the hot chocolate - one mug for each of them, both with tiny marshmallows. And after a few minutes, she comes walking back out of the kitchen, handing the mug to Yuffie.]

Careful, it's hot. Take it by the handle.

[thegreatninja]

[By the time she leaves the kitchen Yuffie has a book that she found in her hands and is laying across the couch like she lives there. She never has been really good at waiting. Once Chiaki comes into view she tosses the book to the side and reaches for the hot chocolate.

She smiles at the warmth that fills her hands while she looks over at Chiaki.]

So tell me about your world.

[Yuffie is at least going to stay until she finishes her warm drink.]

[line_piece]

It's... complicated there.

[Chiaki lowers her head to blow on her drink, trying to hide the downcast expression on her face.]

[thegreatninja]

Oh?

[Obviously Yuffie has hit a nerve but she doesn't seem to bothered by that fact.]

Why not tell me then? It's not like I can go around telling everyone there.

[line_piece]

But if one of them comes here, it could cause problems if I said something.

[thegreatninja]

I don't think so. Besides you looks so sad.

[It is a little annoying and Yuffie really doesn't know how to be anything but blunt.]

[line_piece]

My world's not a very happy place.

[thegreatninja]

Then make it happy.

[She doesn't understand why its so complicated.]

[line_piece]

That's what I was trying to do.

[thegreatninja]

Then it's fine right?

[At least she is doing something which is admirable. Yuffie sets her empty mug down with a smile.]

If your doing something there isn't any need to worry. Just keep trying.

[line_piece]

[Chiaki shakes her head.]

I've done everything I can. It's up to the others now.

[thegreatninja]

Nope. There is always more someone can do.

[It might be annoying how matter of fact Yuffie speaks but she doesn't really care. She doesn't think anyone should stop trying.]

Anyway, Thanks for the drink but I should be off to see what state my house is in.

[line_piece]

It's... more complicated than that. But thanks. Things are in good hands, probably.

[thegreatninja]

That's the spirit. Anyway..

[A few awkward seconds later Yuffie laces up her ridiculous boots and runs out the door.]

Later!
