My first FFVII story

It's the dawn of a new era

Disclaimer- God if only, then I could have Vinnie's cape all for myself.

Warnings- None, at all ever.

Notes- None really. Angst fic, Yuffie, my sad and desperate love for Vinnie's cape. The End. May possibly turn into a short drabbly series.

-o-o-o-

Silently she wondered how many times a person could break.

Shatter

Crumble

Disintegrate

And she decided that 7 was enough

No more than 7

She could last for 7

Loudly she wondered about the weather. She screamed and yelled and projected till no one could hear her.

No one was listening.

But it was okay, it was those moments were no one listened that she said the most.

Because no one noticed her eyes, no one ever noticed her eyes.

They were grey and melancholy and young and happy and a complete and utter contradiction.

And soulless

And heartless

And too damn tired to give a crap

Cause she was tired

Tired of this, tired of that

She was never quite sure of what.

And until she knew she was going to walk in circles.

Endless circles

And then she'd die

Gawd how morbid, wasn't that Vinnie's thing?

It is, and sometimes it's hers too

Vinnie got it sometimes

He was infinitely cool like that

And his cape is just so damn sexy

And his hair is so god damn soft

And sometimes she could almost see him smile

And that made her happy

Yuffie Happy Dance happy

And she wanted to scream and shout and hug him and never let go

But then...she talked

But then...he blinked

And it was gone. He was a void again.

And she wanted to cry. It made her want to crawl into his goddamn coffin, with his crappy –wonderful- vampire smell and stay there.

Forever

Just so she wouldn't have to let go

Just so she could try and fill that void

And sometimes she wondered about it

That void

Wasn't it lonely?

Sometimes she tried to cross it

And was shoved out into cold, wet reality

And she hated it

It made her want to steal his cape and run.

Far, far away so he couldn't find her

And then she'd cry. More and more till the canyon filled with water and the bloody cysts in her heart screamed.

And she'd die

She hated those days

Hated them more than anything

They condensed her being to nothing

And made her doubt it

Doubt herself

They made her so mad, she could just scream and yell and hit things till her fists cried and her eyes bled

They made her want to gel his hair weirdly, steal all his stuff, dye his cape pink, give him clown shoes, make Cid believe he was gay with Cloud...

To ground up everything she was before, just to jump out of the cake and scream, 'Look at Me! I'm here, right here! See me! Please!'

They made her want to give up everything

And...

One day she probably would

One day she would just watch. Let go and give up.

Just to know what would happen

Be an observer, a scientist

He liked science right?

She was a scientist wasn't she?

If she ever tried hard enough could she catch up?

Or was there no room for stars?

Was she a star?

Could butterflies become stars?

Could she stop fluttering long enough to shine?

The answer was...

...somewhere, out there, in a place she couldn't feel.

And until she knew she was going to keep on screaming and yelling and proclaiming.

.

6 times

That's how many times she's been shut out

She has one last chance

She's gonna find that place even if it kills her

And godammit she's gonna make it one helluva ride.

And really she just wants to know how far she can fall.

-o-o-o-

THE END

Author Rant

Well, um, thought dump? It just kinda occurred to me at 3 in the morning. That's what I get for obsessively watching Advent Children and injuring my fingers playing the game.
