Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ The Tainted And Pure Hearted ❯ The Pain You Gave Me ( Chapter 1 )

-The Tainted And Pure Hearted-

By: Dark Shedevil

Author's Chat Section: When playing Final Fantasy VII (So far, it's a pretty damn good game) I came across a couple of new characters. Those characters being; Yuffie and Cid. Reading the guidebook, I realized the age difference, I really didn't think much of this couple, for I know their relationship between the two isn't ever going to happen. But when I kept on playing FFVII my thoughts changed a bit. I kept on wondering, "What if Yuffie and Cid got together? That would be nice." So going to I looked for some fanfiction dedicated to them, but found only a few. Now I think that they make a cute couple, and it disappointment not many people like them together. So I decided to write about them. Of course you are probably wondering "Why the hell should I like this couple if I already like some other pairings." Well, loves let me explain. Yuffie is usually paired up with Vincent or Cloud. Which to me seem like an okay couple. And Cid is paired up with different couples, all of them seem fine to me too. But together I think they are cute. But whatever your ideas or thoughts may be, everyone has a fave couple. So whether you like this couple or not, it wouldn't kill you to read it at least and even more if you reviewed. And of course I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to thank Kevin. He has helped me so much for info for Final Fantasy 7 (I still haven't beaten that game.) So Kevin if you are reading this thank you so much!

Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII, even if my life depended on it. But if I did, I would make revisions to make the game suit my tastes, making the game crappy.

Chapter 1: The Pain You Gave Me

The cheerful vibe filling up the room was too much for Cid to handle. The vast ideas and thoughts the man contained within were just too much to be stuck up in the lousy hotel room. Without any hesitation he left muttering a few cuss words. Nobody realized this, but for one young girl. Yuffie.

Wonder where Cid's going?

The ravened haired teenager knew better than to follow him. He would like always starts yelling and cursing at her. She really didn't seem to care and usually shrugged it all off. But at times those hurtful words did get to her. Never causing her to break or anything like that, but just that an old man would hurt her feelings so much.

It's like he despises me... like he rather wishes me dead than to surround his presence.

But emotions weren't going to catch up to her this quickly. There she sat on the carpeted floor toying around with her materias. Not exactly a bright idea to be playing around with materia for she has had a pretty bad experience with them by trying to steal them from the group but she was bored. It was times like these that she truly wishes to go out alone and explore the world. She knew that the world she lived in offered so many opportunities, and they are very hard to achieve, but she knew that it was what her heart desired. To be known, to be a legend. But not many people had much encouragement to offer to the young teen. So with that, from all the laughs and mockery her dreams were crushed.

Maybe I am just a dumb brat. A good for nothing one too.

She bit her lower lip. This was no time to cry. She knew that completely. Her teammates or rather her friends were enjoying the scenery and the break they wanted for so long. In a corner across the room was Cloud and Tifa apparently sharing a drink of tea. Discussing of old times they shared together.

Cloud...

Yuffie and Cloud didn't talk much; he usually paid his attention to Tifa and Aeris, but more to Tifa. He was yet another person who ignored the teenager. She knew by a fact that Cloud has feelings for Tifa. She also knew that they good childhood friends. But still Yuffie couldn't help but admire the tough blond. Always being so brave, always just being admired by others, never having trouble with his attitude. Yet Yuffie at times wondered, why she was the one mostly being picked at. All she wanted was for good to come out of her actions. At first she went along with the group for her greedy needs, but then later on she realized how much of good friends they were. Until she met him...

Cid. When I first met you, all you did was call me a dumb brat. Besides from other things. Every since then I hated you. But Red XII always told me just to ignore you. And I it's better that way. But then at times your hurtful comments really do affect me. I was pampered back in Wutai, never been taught the true values of friendship. Never been humiliated in my entire life. Until you came along and began to question everything I do. But I just have to ignore all those nasty comments and just move on.

Being bored out of her mind, young Yuffie looked around the room some more. Her eyes wandered around the room, spying on what Vincent and Aeris was doing, which she found out was the both of them were just reading a book, then trying to eavesdrop on the conversation Barret, Red XII, and Cait Sith were having. Nobody seemed to notice that Yuffie was there. Each one was just busy carrying on minding their own business, and that made Yuffie feel unwanted. She gathered up all her materias along with her boomerang and went outside.

From the moment she went outside her eyes got all watery and breathed in smoke. Yuffie knew of only one person who would smoke.

Someone tapped her shoulders. That startled her. She reacted by swinging her boomerang at the person, but only cutting him on his arm.

Blood trickled down his arm, revealing a deep scar freshly made by Yuffie's boomerang weapon.

Cid Highwind got infuriated. He felt a sharp pain at first but then realized that blood kept on coming out of his system. Covering the scar with his handkerchief he glared at the nervous young girl in front of him. "You motherfucking kid. Be careful at who you swing that pile of shit at."

Yuffie once again got Cid mad. She didn't want to, but he just frightened her a bit when he tapped her shoulders. Her eyes got watery but not enough to make her cry yet.

I didn't mean to Cid... Really I didn't. Great now I'm going to cry.

She turned around not wanting to face the experienced pilot. Just not wanting to see his face at all.

"Well, Cid... you shouldn't have scared me like that!"

His eyes got bloodshot.

What the hell does this girl mean by scaring her? What the fuck. It was her fucking fault, for doing that. That's just a dumbass excuse.

"You dumb fucker, look at my arm. Look what you did to it, you're gonna pay for that. You stupid brat."

It was then, when the entire group came outside to see what was going on. Yuffie faced them. Luckily before they arrived she wiped away her tears. She saw everyone's expression when they saw Cid kneeling on the ground covering his arm.

Cloud approached Cid. Carefully eyeing Cid's arm.

"Okay, okay you dumb fucker let go of me!"

Cloud backed away from Cid. He knew that any more acts of kindness would bring Cid into a fury of cussing and arguing between everyone.

"Hey Cid what happened to your arm?" Asked Tifa.

Please Cid, don't tell them... I beg of you. Thought Yuffie.

The pilot stood up almost clumsily but he somehow managed without anybody's help. "Well you guys wanna know who's responsible for doing this fucking damage to my arm?" He pointed at Yuffie who was still standing where she was. "It was that dumb brat! She was the who cut me with her fucking boomerang."

Yuffie remained dead quiet as all eyes were on her right about now. She didn't want to say anything, until Red XIII spoke.

"Is this true Yuffie?" Red XIII asked.

She didn't want to look up at the group, but she knew she had to. She faced them.

"I didn't mean to! It was an accident. He scared me." Was all she could say.

"You're lying, you fucking little-"

"CID I TOLD YOU IT WAS AN ACCIDENT ALREADY! I'M SORRY! WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!" This time Yuffie began to cry. She let her tears flow freely as she ran off back inside.

Red XIII noticed her tears. He felt very sorry for the young teen. He felt much mature and older than her, but he clearly knew that in human years him and Yuffie were around the same age. And that he knew that she never had any bad intentions of harming anyone. Especially Cid. But he kept his mouth shut.

Tifa went up to the kneeling Cid, her fists balled up. "Cid, if she told you it was an accident. Then leave it there. Leave the poor Yuffie alone!"

Cid chuckled. "Listen here Tifa, I'm the one she cut up, not you. So just leave me the fuck alone!"

Aeris spoke up, who was hid behind Barret's tall figure. "Cid she told you it was accident."

Cid scoffed. "Yeah whatever."

Meanwhile Yuffie ran up to her hotel room. She fell into the bed and broke into tears. Burying away her face in the pillow.

After I told him it was an accident for scaring me, he still goes out and blames me for doing that on purpose! What a mean ass.

A while had gone by and everyone eventually returned to their hotel rooms. All for Cid who preferred to stay outside a bit longer and smoke a cigarette.

Stupid kid. Going and cutting me like that. Running off without saying anything else. Putting me in humiliation with the rest of the guys.

"Cid, you made her sad." That stupid little wolf, or whatever the hell he is, told me that while I was getting up.

Me knowing the girl knew she wouldn't get that upset. "She'll make it. I bet she's probably mad, not upset."

"Of course she would, after she fucking told you she was sorry." Dumbass Barret.

"She left off then. I didn't have the chance to." I responded

Then Cloud went back inside but before entering he signaled the rest of the bunch to come in too.

"Hey Cid you ain't coming?"

"No I ain't."

All the dumb fucker did was shrug and went back inside.

But I think it's better that way. I know that in the morning everyone will forget this shitty event and move on with our plans.

He smoked his cigarette, inhaling every smoke coming out, and tasting the sweet nicotine in his mouth. He wanted the night to go by quickly. But morning would arrive in a couple of hours. He looked down at his arm.

I guess it'll heal in the morning. And once that dumb brat sees it, I'll never hear the end of her constant bitching.

Cid sighed.

Maybe I should apologize. After all I really don't need another person pissed at me.

With that he returned back inside walking up the stairs and into his room until the next morning.

Author's Note: Whew! I finished. Anyways. I'm not very much into the game. Right now I'm at the part of where they have to go to the Temple of the Ancients. So sorry if anyone was a bit OOC. But I do know, that Cid tends to have a dirty mouth so yeah the constant swearing was for a reason. Well until next chapter, and don't forget to review on anything.
