Confused Heart
Last Chapter: The end
"Yuffie…!" Cloud gasped in alarm, Yuffie's face seemed completely shocked.
"I need to talk to you….please…give me a chance to talk to you. I know you probably don't want to see me for everything I've done but I need one chance to talk to you." Cloud pleaded.
Yuffie looked overwhelmed with his strange behavior, but she nodded her head..
"I need to go back…er…help Tifa." Leon lied.
"Squally…I'll be over there in a few minutes." Yuffie looked confused as she was taken away by Cloud. Leon gritted his teeth together, his heart completely hurt.
I know Cloud and her will be okay after this…and my heart will be broken…once again…but at least….at least Yuffie will finally be happy. She'll finally be able to not worry about this problem anymore. She could smile again like she use to. Everything will be back to normal…wow…how many times have I repeated that and I still feel horrible…
Leon shot back one last glance and smiled.
But… Everything will be back to normal…I hope
He scurried away leaving Cloud and Yuffie alone. Cloud shot one last glance at Leon to make sure he was gone.
"You remember how you told me..that you made a mistake and that you were really sorry?? Well, I…..I have to admit I made one too..." he mumbled. Yuffie's head sprang up in shock.
"No really!?" Yuffie snorted angrily.
"Look, just give me a chance to talk.." Cloud muttered.
"I have to go meet Squally in the airship." Yuffie reminded him.
"Yuffie, you aren't leaving until you let me talk." Cloud muttered.
"Why do I have to listen to you? I can't believe you did this to me. I made one mistake and you act like I've done something extremely horrible!" Yuffie hissed.
"Well you did…I mean it hurt me a lot. I'm sorry I overreacted." Cloud mumbled.
"Yeah, well now you tell me this, after all I've been through! I've been waiting for you to forgive me for weeks. Now..now that you finally did…I don't think I care anymore." Yuffie admitted.
"I know what I did and I really hate myself for it." Cloud admitted.
"Sure you do." Yuffie muttered sarcastically. Cloud tried to remain calm but he couldn't.
"How am I supposed to not get angry over what you did! You lied to me telling me that you loved me, while you still loved Leon! Don't you realize how much that hurts!? Just imagine if I loved another girl and I was telling you that I loved you. It seemed like you were just joking with me. I thought that you didn't really love me, and it really hurt." Cloud explained. Yuffie's eyes soften a bit, and she shifted her gaze towards the ground.
"Yuffie…I'm sorry.." Cloud sighed.
Is Cloud trying to apologize to me? He isn't doing a very good job.. Ugh. I don't know what to say-or do.
"Wha?" Yuffie interrupted him.
"I made a mistake by acting the way I did. I just want to apologize……………Yuffie, I'm sorry." Cloud mumbled. Yuffie's mouth made a large O shape and her eyes widen. There was a strange moment of silence as Yuffie's eyes soften and a smirk came across her face.
Yuffie would have fallen in shock if she didn't have the sudden urge to let out a soft cheer.
I must be dreaming………..
Yuffie smiled at her thoughts, but she knew that this wasn't a dream.
"Wow, Cloud was that you're first attempt for an apology….you did a good job too…" Yuffie giggled jokingly.
"Yuffie, I'm serious." Cloud frowned.
"I know you are." Yuffie smiled.
"Leon told me you were crying and I felt horrible….. It's just that…it really hurt me to see you with Leon. I really love you Yuffie." Cloud mumbled shyly.
"Wha? I wasn't crying! Great Ninja's never cry. Geez Cloud you should know that by now. " Yuffie said jokingly, crossing her arms.
"okay." Cloud knew she was lying.
"Well, we better head back to Hollow Bastion, the storm is going away." Yuffie glanced at the sky.
"wait just a while longer…" Cloud whispered. He gently pushed Yuffie against the wall and he leaned closer to her, making her turn completely red. She stood silent, staring blankly at Cloud's eyes. He's face was only inches away from her.
"You're coming to Hollow Bastion with me right? Then everything will be back to normal and we'll forget this ever happened." Yuffie whispered hopefully.
Cloud just nodded as he leaned toward her, pushing her completely against the wall and putting his lips passionately against hers.
"Yuffie," he spoke huskily, his breath warm against her ear.
"huh?" Yuffie looked up at him with a beaming expression.
"Promise me that…you'll always love me" he paused for a moment "and only me." he smiled. He wrapped his arm around her waist and planted another soft kiss in her lips.
How could I not promise after such a sweet kiss??
"I promise, and you better promise too." Yuffie grinned.
Cloud just nodded his grabbed Yuffie's hand.
"Let's go." he whispered. Yuffie nodded her head. She felt like she was truly dreaming, everything seemed so easy for him to forgive her. Her smile slowly faded as she looked at the airship.
Squall did this….for me. He talked to Cloud and told him about how I was crying. I hope he's okay. Maybe..Squall was just a crush I had that replaced my feelings for Cloud while I was depressed. All I know is that I love Cloud..and nothing can change that….not even Squall.
"Something wrong Yuffie?" Cloud asked curiously.
"No, I'm fine! I'm just a little tired." Yuffie lied.
Cloud and Yuffie headed towards the ship.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuffie held a hand in front of her mouth and yawned, "Is breakfast almost ready? I'm hungry." She whined.
"You're always hungry." Cloud laughed jokingly.
Yuffie stuck her tounge out.
"Not all the time…" she mumbled. Yuffie made her way to the couch and slumped next to Tifa. She snatched Tifa's waffle from the counter and started devouring it.
"Yuffie, look isn't this the prettiest wedding dress you've seen!?" Tifa pointed to a picture in a wedding book.
"Um…I guess so." Yuffie shrugged, taking a bite from her waffle.
"Well you have to decide soon Yuffie, you're wedding is only a few weeks away!" Tifa grinned.
"Ugh..Tifa do you have to remind me? I hate wearing dresses! Ninjas aren't suppose to wear dresses." Yuffie whimpered.
"Well, have you at least passed out the invitations?" Tifa raised her eyebrow.
"Cloud can take care of it for me. I mean, he's in the wedding too." Yuffie yawned.
"Yuffie, Cloud won't marry you if you act this childish around him." Tifa pointed out.
"Ugh..I'm still hungry." Yuffie tried to change the subject.
"Is…Leon invited?" Tifa's voice was barely a whisper. It had only been a few weeks since the whole chaos between Leon, Cloud, and her.
"of course he is…" Yuffie gulped inwardly.
"well, you better give him an invitation soon…" Tifa reminded her.
From the corner of the room, Leon put his hand into a fist and then felt his heart shatter.
For the past week all Yuffie and Tifa had been talking about had been the wedding. It crushed his heart to hear that. Yuffie kept trying her best to not mention it in front of him, but it was hard.
Why is it so hard to forget her? These thoughts of her won't go away…. I can't get her off my head. I think I'll never be able to get over this..
"Hey Squally…" Yuffie smiled, trying not to sound indifferent.
"hmm?" Leon looked up at her, with a fake smile on his face.
"I kinda forgot to give you an invitation." Yuffie laughed nervously as she handed him the card covered with green ribbons.
"Please try to come." Yuffie whispered.
"I will." Leon choked.
With that, Yuffie walked away as quickly as she could. For the past couple of weeks she tried to avoid Leon as much as possible. It even hurt her to talk to him. She thought everything would be the same, like it use to be. She felt uncomfortable talking to him sometimes.
"Did you give it to him?" Tifa asked quickly.
Yuffie just nodded her head.
"Yuffie, Cloud isn't here yet!" Tifa let out an exasperated groan.
"Ugh, I won't last a second longer in this dress. He better hurry up!" Yuffie groaned.
"I'm sure he'll come soon." Tifa assured her.
"Um…is Squally here by any chance?" Yuffie asked softly.
"Yeah he's all the way in the corner over there." Tifa pointed to a tall man wearing a tuxedo. His face was covered with his bangs and he was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Why isn't he sitting down!" Yuffie whispered angrily.
"Hey, look Cloud is over there!" Tifa pointed to the other side of the room. Cloud came rushing out of the door. Yuffie still couldn't keep her thoughts about Leon away.
"Yuffie!" Cloud came rushing towards her.
Yuffie's eyes beamed when her eyes meant Cloud's.
Well, this is it Yuffie! Come on you're the Great Ninja right? Ugh..I'm nervous. I love weddings..but not when it's mine! I feel sick…but maybe with Cloud, it won't be so bad.
Yuffie smiled at her thoughts as Cloud walked through the aisle with her. Yuffie felt her heart pounding faster.
"Are you okay Yuffie?" Tifa asked.
"I'm hungry..and scared." Yuffie whispered.
The ceremony went like a blur to Yuffie. She was so numb with fear that she barely noticed the all the people watching her.
wedding cake time…yum!
Yuffie skipped to the cake and gobbled her whole slice up. After the cake she felt her thoughts get clear, and she wasn't so scared anymore. She sat next to Cloud and placed her hand on top of his.
"This has been the greatest day ever, but I was really scared to death too." Yuffie laughed, holding up her wedding ring.
"Yuffie…I love you." Cloud whispered in her ear. Yuffie felt her heart race and she had a smirk on her face.
"Me too Cloud." she whispered.
At least…I'm finally happy….I know that everything will be okay….
From now on, everything is going to be even better than before. Squally and I will still be best friends, I know it. Cloud and I will live happily ever after! Well, at least I hope so.
I know everything will be okay because I can make it all come true!
Because I'm the Great Ninja Yuffie right?
