HIBIKI!

[Yuffie shouts her name as the three approach them her fingers wrapping tightly around her blade as she throws it in the air towards the three gathered. It was sure to hit one of them but Yuffie plan is to distract them so that she can run over to Hibiki.

Her feet feel like bricks as she skids on her knees to grab hold of Hibiki's shoulders and help lift her from the ground.]

Hey! Your alive right?

[nankurunaisa]

[It hurts. Getting hit by magic hurts. It's not as bad as fire or thunder, but being launched so far...it stings, and she can't use Cura right now. Instead of responding to Yuffie as she's helped up, Hibiki yells past her. She can't fight, but she knows someone can.]

Kathy! Use your bombs!

[Her Moogle nods and then summons a box out of nowhere, one she promptly launches at the enemies. The explosion is big, adding to the distraction.]

I'm not dead, I'm... [Ugh. Being told she could die...that's still really scary, too.] ...we have to take care of them! I can't see Hamuzou, he might be wounded!

[She has a second wind, and she's already trying to step away so she can ready an arrow. No one hurts her pets!]

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie admires her determination and even hurt she can't help but smirk at the girls nerves. She steps back allowing Hibiki the room to move and faces the three in front of them. They are child's play compared to what she is used to which for the moment she is grateful for.

She brings her Shuriken from her side and swings it through the air at the first mage. Better to attack them first since she has no defense against their magic. The blade cuts into him causing the caster to fall to the ground screaming.

Yuffie runs closer and catches her blade getting ready for close combat with the other two while Hibiki readies her arrow.]

[nankurunaisa]

[The things she won't do when a pet is in danger...there's no limit to that. She's just grateful the crystal has given them more power so she doesn't have to worry as much.

She focuses her arrow on the gunner. As far as she can tell, he's more dangerous. Her heart is still racing, adrenaline pumping through her veins, and she hits the gun clear out of the gunner's hand before sinking a second arrow right into his chest. She avoids the heart, but there's no doubt it's going to be a nasty wound. She doesn't even stop to think about it.

The second caster is backing up, readying a second spell—it's up to Yuffie to stop him, because he's about to cast magic that'll hit the both of them.]

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie pauses at Hibiki's arrow knowing what that wound means in a fight such as this one. She kicks the man with an arrow in his chest down using him to jump into the air and swing her blade down at the last standing mage.

She flicks her blade letting the blood drip on to the stained ground. She then turns to Hibiki her expression grim.]

Should you be here?

[nankurunaisa]

W-what're you sayin' all of a sudden?

[Their enemies might be down for the moment, but her body is sore already just from one attack. But she's also been helping! At least, she thinks she's been helping. She knows she's been in the way, too, but her shoulders droop at that accusation.]

O-of course I should be here! I'm...supposed to be here, right?

[thegreatninja]

You're not a fighter.

[Yuffie pulls the arrows from the soldiers bodies handing them back to Hibiki. Ammo is easy to run out of and she doesn't want her friend to become a sitting duck.]

There are other ways to help in a war besides fight. [Which she knew from personal experience.]

[nankurunaisa]

That's...that's true. But I just helped, didn't I...? It's not like I'm getting in the way all the time.

[She's stubborn. Even in the face of something like this, she doesn't want to admit that she doesn't know what she's doing. She doesn't want to watch people die, but she wants to protect her friends, too.

Why is this so hard?]

[thegreatninja]

Fine. Do what you want.

[Yuffie lightly punches her shoulder as she walks by towards the raging fight.]

Just know some people worry about you.

[She turns back with a confident smile before continuing towards the Bevelle. She has seen Tifa head that way and she wanted to meet up with her old friend.]
