Chapter 2: Blood; Forbidden Reflection


The gunslinger released Yuffie's hands and howled. His legs were still straddling her making Yuffie still immobile, but it didn't restrain her from wiggling. Yuffie hissed and reached for her Conformer then guarded her childish looking face from the lycan's excess fluids. The red bandana that was holding the gunslinger's bangs up untied and landed right on Yuffie Conformer making the curious ninja take it and stuff into one of her millions of pouches of her outfit.

The gunslingers bones all cracked making him form into another physical shape and hair grew over his whole body. The lycan in red tore off his blood red cape, making it also fall on the horrified ninja-vampire, and gave a low howl. Diverting her grey-navy eyes, Yuffie searched into her pouch of a good materia to blast him with.


The lycan now stood up on his hind leg and began to finish his transformation. Yuffie, in panic, grabbed the first materia she could feel. ((A magic materia, great, it's a mastered lightning too!)) Yuffie thought proudly, thank Da-chao it wasn't Yuffie's off day today, even though it felt like it to her.


Removing the cape which fell on her, Yuffie brought the green gem close to her face with her right hand, and holding her weapon in the other, and yelled out a command.


“Thundaga,” Yuffie yelled, summoning a great amount of lightning from the clouded sky and hit her target making him delay his transformation. Scurrying upward, Yuffie tripped and dropped her precious, mastered gem. “Gawds, I'll get you later… or… NO, must run away, must leave mastered materia behind,” Yuffie argued. She stopped and glanced at the pissed hairy gunslinger then at the glowing gem.


“Gawds the choices of life… I'll take my chances,” She concluded. While running back to grab her materia the gunslinger leaped to stop her, coming in between the short haired ninja and the magical item. Yuffie's eyes were full of fear, even if she had a lot of pride, she knew when to give up and she did just, turning around Yuffie retreated.


“I'm too young and sexy to die,” Yuffie yelled while dodging the lycan's clawed attacks. ((I can't outrun him for long I need to come up with a plan!)) Yuffie desperately thought. The gunslinger was quickly advancing on her; his golden claw disappeared and was overtaken by a hairy real looking lycan arm and his blood eyes became dark black.


After a few more seconds of mindless running, Yuffie slowed down and earned herself three slashes on the back from the lycan-gunman. Yelping in pain Yuffie turned around, running backwards, and swung her Conformer mindlessly.

The blissful and kiddy stuff were over, it was now time to fight and kick some ass. Rikku weakly got up from the rocky ground, moving her unique green eyes around, and laid eyes upon the transforming lycanthrope, or lycan.


The swordsman's sun glasses fell off onto the ground showing his fading brown eye. His eye then changed to violet, ripping his red jacket off, also ripping his fancy belt in the process, he threw it aside and howled.


Rikku saw his features more clear then before. The bright moon was shining on the swordsman perfectly so Rikku could see his well-defined muscles better she noticed his six-pack engraved on his black armor and mentally blushed.


Slowly rising off the ground Rikku raised her claws in defense, still watching the lycan transform. After his devastating howl his bones began to crack and move into its rightful place, hair grew all over his defined body and his armor slowly dissolved into his skin.


“I'm done for, oh vilg (fuck),” Rikku exclaimed quickly turning around and leaving the scene. Grabbing her boots, Rikku jumped upon a pillar and dashed away from the turning lycan.


The lycan growled again as he finished his transformation. Jumping to where the blonde was he dashed quickly after her. Rikku panted, she was getting tired, her new blood still mixed with her old made the green eyed girl more drained.


“Where's Yuffie, I can't sense her,” Rikku yelled, taking a peak behind her. As she turned around she saw the swordsman advance on her. “Vilg (fuck),” She cursed.


The lycan caught up to Rikku and slashed her back viciously. Rikku coughed up blood making her woozier. He then slashed her again and again. The lycan clearly had no plans on keeping the blonde vampire alive.


Rikku dropped from the twenty foot pillar and onto another column. She could feel her back almost snap in two and her leg breaking. Rikku was officially fucked. ((I need a cure)) Rikku thought painfully.


Reaching her sore arm into her black pouch of items, Rikku brought out an x-potion. ((Thank machina!)) Rikku yelled in triumph. Drinking the liquid fast Rikku slowly regained her composure, her bones slowly cracked in place and her soreness dissolved away.


Neck springing up Rikku aimed a death glare to her adversary. In return he growled and jumped down to the healed warrior's level. Rikku looked directly in the beasts eyes and was about to attack when she stepped on a gem.


((Materia?)) Rikku thought, looking at the green gem she noticed light streaks coming from within it. ((Holy machina, it's a lightning materia))



A little girl with blonde hair played along an ocean shore running though the splashing waters. The sun had just set making the blonde haired girl take her protective goggles off.


“Rikku, you're not supposed to be out here when the sun is up, Vydran (father) would be mad,” A blonde haired boy said, he appeared out from behind a hill where the ocean barely hit the earth.


“Keyakku, pops can just-” young Rikku began.


“Rikku,” Keyakku interrupted. Rikku just stuck out her tongue.


“It's his fault Sudran (mother) died,” Rikku argued, running deeper into the ocean.


“Rikku, you'll never understand,” Rikku shook her head and plugged her ears. Just faintly behind her a figure appeared. “RIKKU!”


“Fryd(what) Keyakku?” Rikku asked turning in the direction her brother was looking. The young Rikku then noticed a small water apparition. “Pnudran (brother) help!” Rikku yelled.


“It's a water spirit, so it's weak against lightning right Rikku,” Keyakku asked, giving a slight nod towards her brother, Keyakku brought out a green gem and summoned the element. “Thunder,” He yelled.


Rikku opened her eyes to notice that the spell her brother cast wasn't heading towards the enemy but to her. “Ah!” She screeched.



The energy collected from the gem shot at the phobic girl making her instantly black out. The lycan looked at her and growled.

Yuffie swung her conformer aimlessly and missed badly and the lycan dodged each and every worthless attack as if it were nothing to him.


“I have no materia and I'm out of energy, I'm officially screwed,” Yuffie bellowed while dodging his deadly attacks. The gunslinger stopped and watched the anxious girl retreat making him somewhat, weirdly, grin inside.


Yuffie ran about only a half of a kilometer when she blindly bumped into another fur ball, which Yuffie might say. Yuffie looked up to see the gunslingers companion, her first adversary, the swordsman… transformed also.


The fur man gave a warning growl making Yuffie pry herself off him. Running backwards she bumped into another fur ball, looking up at him she saw that she was cornered with the gun man and the swords master.


“Damn, now it's two against one. Rikku, where are you?” Yuffie screamed at the top of her dead lungs. Yuffie really wasn't in the mode to be playing with two dogs. “What have you done to Rikku you scumbag lycanthrope wannabe,” She yelled.


The lycans cornered the ninja vampire and pinned her to the wall. “Hey, hey, I was just kidding,” Yuffie sweat dropped. Struggling to get free Yuffie spotted in the distance her knocked out friend.


“Rikku, get your chocobo butt up and help me,” Yuffie yelled to her knocked out companion, still unaware of her present state. One of the lycan's glared hard at Yuffie then quickly swung its powerful claw.


Yuffie rammed into the wall she was cornered against, breaking the unstable barrier. The other lycan picked her up and threw her to the lycan more built lycan. The lycan caught the bloodied princess by ease and rose her unsteady feet, still holding onto her.


“You are the princess of the Wutainese vampire clan, are you not,” The lycan asked her. Dumbfounded for a moment Yuffie widened her eyes in answer. “So that girl over there must be the princess of the Sanubian or the Bikanel vampire clan, answer me girl,” The lycan growled.


Shaking out of her shock, Yuffie tilted her head towards Rikku and mentally cursed. “N- no she's from neither, she's my… um… cousin,” Yuffie managed to spit out. ((Oh yeah, way to go Yuffie, they'll believe you for sure)). Yuffie didn't want them to kill both of them or take both of them hostage, she had to lie, even if she was the worst liar in all of the three worlds.


The lycan that was holding her in place was about to comment on her brilliant lie, but the gunman lycan intervened by shaking his head. The other lycan gave a gruff growl, but other then that Rikku was safe, for the time being.


Throwing Yuffie over his fluffy shoulder, the lycan jumped to the side of Rikku. The other lycan shook his head and started to dash off. The lycan shortly followed after.


Yuffie made a silent vow to her knocked out partner and shut her sleepy eyes drifting off to vampire dreamland.

“Yuffie,” Screamed Rikku, she somersaulted up only to find the battle was over and Yuffie was no where to be found. “Telr ud (damn it), this is not going as we planned,” Rikku sighed yet still looking at the optimistic side of things.



“Ah,” Rikku screamed, as she stepped on one of Yuffie's magic materia's. The gem glowed green then changed quickly to yellow. A flash of lightning appeared in front of the tan blonde and struck her.


Rikku wasn't unconscious, it was only her senses that were blacked out. Rikku couldn't move, but sensed with her vampric abilities the lycan making its way in the direction of her.


Slowly regaining her sense to feel, she felt the presence of the fluffy lycan scooping her up. Unable to fight back, Rikku tensed. She felt his fur brushing against her cold skin. At that Rikku blushed.


Finally she regained all of her feeling and was slowly beginning to gain her hearing. No longer feeling the lycan's fur on her, Rikku felt scared and venerable, she could tell that that lycan put her on the cold cement and left her alone.


Rikku heard a yell in the background which sounded like her colleague. It sounded as if she was pissed, or was in a desperate need of assistance.


Finally Rikku gained all of her hearing; she started to concentrate on what was being said,


“You are the princess of the Wutainese vampire clan, are you not,” She heard a gruff voice say. In Rikku's opinion she thought the voice was sexy, but now wasn't the time to swoon over the enemy, she was supposed to be on a mission to destroy all lycanthropes.


“So that girl over there must be the princess of the Sanubian or the Bikanel vampire clan, answer me girl,” The lycan growled again. Rikku really had to admit, his voice was sexier when he was impatient.


“N- no she's from neither, she's my… um… cousin,” Rikku heard Yuffie spit out. ((Oh great, they'll believe you now Yuffie)). Yuffie wasn't all lying, but she wasn't spitting out the truth either. Rikku understood why she did it, but she didn't understand why she heard a low irritated growl from the lycan who spoke before. Before Rikku knew it Yuffie and their prey were gone.



A tint of pink spread across Rikku's tan complexion at the thought of the lycan swordsman, and also making her right pinky tingle. The blonde did a neck spring and landed gracefully on her two feet.


Rikku was sore from the fights she had taken on. Most of her wounds were healed up from the blood she received from the swordsman, yet something else was hurting. Rikku looked at where the pain was starting at when she saw she was still barefooted.


“Vilg (fuck),” Rikku cursed. Blood was running though her feet making her senses go haywire. Rikku grabbed her shoes and socks from afar and checked her PHS for the time. Her phone read 1:30v.d. (vampire descend), which meant she only had one hour and thirty minutes till the sun would rise.


Rikku hurried from the ruins of the first war, Zanarkand, and gathered her transportation. They were two golden chocobos'. Rikku smiled and jumped on one of them then tied the others' reins to the tail of the saddle she rode on. With that done, she rode off into the daybreak.


((Damn it, I don't think I can make it to the farplane before the sun come up and burns me into a crispy cookie)) Rikku thought. The chocobo behind her was really slowing her down, making Rikku more stressed. ((I'm sorry choco, but I have to let you go, even if you are Yuffie's favorite chocobo)).


Rikku turned around on her moving chocobo and untied the reins that were holding the chcobos' together making Yuffie's chocobo free. Rikku then turned around to face the front and grabbed onto her reins.


There was no shelter what so ever. Rikku has exited the ruins of Zanarkand about half an hour ago, and that was the only shelter there was. It would take her about three hours to her to the base in Wutai if she took the slow way, but Rikku didn't have time to go there, even if it was nearer.


Rikku stopped the chocobo and checked her PHS for the time. It read 0:45 v.d. which made Rikku panic.


“Okay Rikku, desperate times comes for desperate measures,” Rikku said to herself, she really didn't want to burn herself to death, that was one on her top `bad way to die' lists.


“But if I take it… Lulu or Tifa wouldn't permit it,” Rikku argued with herself. “That means I've wasted thirty minutes of my life if I go,”


The blonde jumped back onto her gold chocobo and raced back to the Zanarkand ruins. The chocobo was already out of breath but it also ran for its life too, for if the sun touched the oversized yellow bird it'd disperse also.


Rikku arrived at the ruins in no time flat leaving her with twenty minutes until daybreak. Rikku jumped off the large bird and fled into the weak building upfront of her. She ran through the empty hallways and headed towards a large set of stairs. Rikku jumped over them with ease and continued on until she confronted a large wall.


“Poopie, where is that lever,” Rikku questioned. As if on cue, Rikku spotted the lever she was looking for. “Yeah, one point for me and none for the world,” Rikku grinned.


Rikku released the lever and waited at the edge for her transportation. The wall disappeared and a dark tunnel appeared. Rikku walked to the edge of the ledge and grabbed a flower then held it up. After a minute of waiting, Rikku sighed and placed the flower down.


“Damn Gargant,” Rikku cursed. As she turned around to leave, she heard a screech in the background Rikku began to walk towards the source of the noise. “Ah, there you are,” Rikku smiled. All of her anger vanished in an instant as she saw the Gargant appear from the corner.


The Gargant was an enormous spider. It crawled on a large wire connected to the top of the cave making it travel upside down it also carried a lift on its back.


The Gargant stopped upfront of Rikku waiting for its food. Rikku picked up the flowers and fed the spider. The blonde vampire jumped into the lift the Gargant was carrying and it sped off.

Yuffie awoke and noticed her hands and legs were chained. Her violet-grey eyes widened and glanced around. Yuffie noted that she was in a cellar.


The well trained ninja rose up and adjusted her eyes to the darkness. She spotted a door in the distance, a wide window covered by a black curtain, and a mirror. Yuffie moved her chained hands to feel if all of her weapons were taken, as she guessed, they were.


Both her hands and legs were chained to the wall behind her, she was almost immobile, but that didn't stop her. Yuffie walked to the opposite side of the room and touched the door.


Yuffie grinned and placed her ear the door to see if anyone was out there. Just as she thought, she heard people talking.


“That girl in there is a what?” She heard an unfamiliar voice bellow followed by some clacking sounds.


“Quiet Steiner, you don't need to inform the whole lycan territory,” A gruff voice said. Yuffie recognized the voice to be associated with the red jacket lycan. “I need you to inform the Pluto Knights, Captain, that is all,”


“Yes, General,” Steiner said in an obeying tone. Yuffie heard some more clacking of what she guessed, armor, and then there was no sound at all. Yuffie was going to pull her head away from the door when she heard a woman speak.


“General,” A woman asked. She had an angel voice, but with also a tint of darkness.


“Yes,” The General replied.


“Why did you summon me?”


“You are my best assassin, I need you to do your job and assassinate-” That was all Yuffie could hear.


“What, I hate it when that happens,” Yuffie screamed at herself. Yuffie pressed her ear closer to the steel door to see if she could hear anything else, but it was to no avail. “Alwright, this officially sucks,” Yuffie frowned. She lifted her head up and walked back to the bed, with her chains following.


On her way she heard a small rattling noise and took note to it. Yuffie followed the noise with her super sensed ears, she automatically pinpointed it. “Who's there?” Yuffie asked.


There was no reply. Yuffie became a little scared and headed back to the comfort of her little bed next to where she awoke. When she took a step back, she slipped and landed face first on the dirty stone ground.


“Grossness,” Yuffie managed to spit out, she lifted her head and reached her chained hand upward to grab a brick for her support. Yuffie slowly rose up and met her eyes with herself.


“HOLY CHOCOBOS!!!” Yuffie yelled. Her grey-navy eyes widened and her mouth formed a perfect capital `O'. No vampire has ever seen their reflection in a mirror, or even at all. Yuffie noticed some faults in her reflection, like her outfit was different and her face was somehow different.


Just then, a few guards entered the room making Yuffie jump back from the mirror of mistakes, or so she called it.


“Vampire, you are summoned by his highness,” One guard exclaimed with no emotion. The rest of the guards followed in and pinned the shocked ninja to the dirty floor whence she once was.


They started to unlock her chains, but before they could tie her back up, Yuffie regained her senses and forced her way out of the guards grasp. Yuffie dashed out of the dark cellar and shut the steel, heavy door.


Smiling devilishly, Yuffie continued onward running as if the sun was out to get her. More guards came and gave chase to her, but Yuffie got rid of them of them with ease.


Out of no where a gloved hand shot out and grabbed Yuffie by the mouth and pulled her into the dark corner and out of sight. Another hand slipped around her torso for a secure grip. Before her captive could get a complete hold on her, Yuffie bit down on her captive's hand.


The person pulled its hand away from Yuffie but not his other hand which was around her waist. “It seems like my lady has a strong bite,” A soft masculine voice said. Yuffie turned around and almost kneed the person until she looked directly into its eyes.


“Oh my Leviathan, you're the guy who bit me,” Yuffie screamed remembering the night before at the Zanarkand Ruins.


“It seems like the favor is returned then we are even,” The lycan gunman replied calmly.


Who is it Today?


It's…… Rikku Hiroyuki


“We're gonna see you again, right?”
