Yuffie slowly shook her head. "I spent my life trying to get Wutai back." She wasn't a perfect princess but she knew that she loved her people and she wanted to protect them. Her grip on her knees tightened as the shots echoed through the air again.

She was almost happy to be talking about anything other than her mother but she couldn't stop hearing her mothers voice and feeling her arms warp protectively around her. It was only a memory but to Yuffie it felt alive.

Her hands pressed against her head trying to push the memories away.
