[Yuffie looks up at Hibiki with one hand gripping at her side. It doesn’t really help but it makes her feel better to have it there. She forces herself to smile pushing past the pain that laced up her back.]

Loser. I’m fine. It’s only a scratch. You weren’t hit were you? I heard a gunshot..

[Her voice trails off as she turns and looks behind them noting the last soldier that is rising to stand. Hibiki can see the cut down her back trailing from her shoulder down between her shoulders blades ending at her waist.

The other two soldiers are lying wounded on the ground from Yuffie’s last attack. Her back straightens despite the pain as she faces the soldier that now charged them. Her large blade is held up to protect those behind her just in case he has other targets in mind.

The soldier charges with his blade swinging down from his left side as he shouts profanities at Yuffie. She steps towards him barely dodging his blade as it slices a thin line across her cheek. Her free hand grabs at his hold and steals the sword from his grasp only to drive it down through his back and in between his ribcage piercing his heart. The body drops to the ground and Yuffie turns back towards Hibiki.]

This is a battle. If you can’t fight then leave.

[It is a harsh truth but Yuffie doesn’t want to see Hibiki get hurt or have her become a killer.]
