Don't Steal My Stuff (Yuffie/Closed)

[Reno]

Reno sat in the pilots seat of his helicopter. He leaned back staring at the celing as he thought while chewing on a pencil. He was thinking of what else to add to this newly fixed up helicopter. New security devices? Weapons? Anything to make the thing easier and cooler to pilot. Last time he got to fly someone, yazoo, just had to fly right through the copter sending it downward and into a crash. Of course Reno and Rude were okay after that.

Reno sat alone on a rooftop in his helicopter still thinking. He looked outside at the streets. Things seemed quiet, even though he had heard that darkness was rising again. Meaning things like sephiroth, and these organization people. Some things he had never heard of before, he would help surely. Well, maybe. It all depended on the situation.

[yuffie]

Maybe it was the fact that, at the last second, she had tripped over the corner of the stand and had everything close to her fall over like she had. The owner of the stand didn’t seem to be so happy with her, either. So, when she jumped up, still holding the two necklaces clenched in her hand, he grabbed a stick from behind her and waved it at her. “You can’t have those without paying.” She merely grinned at him before sticking her tongue out. “If you can catch me, you can have them back, and I’ll pay for them, too.” She finished her sentence then darted away, daring the man to come after her. She had trained herself to be able to run away quickly. She had done so away from that man whenever she was nine years old. She had stolen his Materia, a bit after what she had learned what it was, and just ran. If she had managed to get away from him, what chance had this fat merchant?

She didn’t know the layout as much as she would have liked, but Yuffie wasn’t going to let that stop her. She took several turns, jumped over several fences, and even went through a couple of open windows before she was satisfied she hadn’t been seen. At that point, she was beside a somewhat tall building examining the two necklaces in her hands. She hadn’t really needed them at all. She just wanted to make sure she could still steal and get away with it. Consider it a practice for her. Once she took the tags off of them, she’d consider them a present for someone, probably Tifa and herself. Maybe, once she got a hold of the necklace, Tifa would reward her by giving her some Materia or something along those lines. She just wouldn’t hear about how she had gotten them. “If she did, she wouldn’t give me anything.”

[Reno]

Reno sighed and closed his eyes. His thoughts were interupted by the sound of a voice, it was faded seeing as he was ontop of a building but with the helicopter radar you could pick up almost any sound. It was a girl. He opened his eyes and jumped out of the helicopter, throwing the chewed up pencil he had behind him before locking up the copter. He walked over to the edge of the building and looked down. That was the girl talking. It had to be. She looked...familiar.

Reno smiled to himself, he'd go greet her. He was racking his brain to think of where he had seen her before or if he hadn't so this would prove it. He looked over the other side of the building and climbed down the fire escape, quickly too. He reached the bottom and dropped to the pavement, hoping he didn't take too long and this girl left. He ran around the corner and slowed to a walk so he didn't look excited or anything. Reno paused a moment before walking up behind Yuffie. All this time he never thought of something to say at first. What a genious. He said the first thing that came to mind. "Nice necklaces...must've cost a lot." Wow. That was LAME

[yuffie]

Yuffie quickly put the green necklace around her neck, determined to find someone else that it would look nice on besides Tifa. She then realized she didn’t really have many friends that she could just give this stuff too. Maybe she’d give it to Cloud and see what he’d say after she gave it to him. Probably something along the lines of asking her if she stole it or something. She wondered, for a brief moment, what she would say to him before ripping the price tag off of Tifa’s necklace and stuffing it into her pocket. It stabbed against her leg, and it a hurt a little, but it was nothing she couldn’t handle. It wasn’t as if she hadn’t been hurt worse than that before. And, added to that, no one was going to be able to take something out of her pocket. At least, it wouldn’t be easy if they tried. She’d probably attack them and make distractions, and, ultimately, probably run away. However, she snapped back to attention when she realized someone was talking to her. Suspiciously, she stared at the redheaded man and clutching the necklace around her neck. Speaking of which, she had yet to rip the price tag off of that one.

“Actually, it was free. Well, probably not, but I got it free.” She said ripping the price tag off the necklace she was wearing. Afterwards, she pulled her shorts down, and pushed her bandana up so that it would better push the hair out of her face. She probably needed to find a better disguise than what she was wearing. If she didn’t, and she risked going out of the alley, she had a better chance that the merchant would spot her. He probably had some sort of angry mob with him after her, too. She groaned slightly before staring at the man again. He seemed familiar, yet she couldn’t quite put his name on his face. Maybe he was just one of those people that you easily recognized. Still, she reached into her pocket for a shuriken and got into a stance, ready to throw it at him if he didn’t answer her question. “Who are you, anyway? You look familiar, but I don’t really care to try to remember what your name is so...And, basically, the only way I’d know you is if you knew Cloud and Tifa, or originate from Wutai. Hmm.” Yuffie trailed off, thinking. Maybe the guy did know Cloud and Tifa. She couldn’t really tell. She’d have to go ask them if he was familiar to them or something later, because, right now, she couldn’t exactly leave the alley.

[Reno]

“Actually, it was free. Well, probably not, but I got it free.”

Reno watched as she ripped the price tag off the necklace. So she stole it did she? Must be some ninja theif or something to steal something like that. Of course things were pretty easy to steal...if you were good at it. He nodded as a response to her so he didn't seem rude as he kept thinking of where he'd seen her. Something finally clicked. He remembered seeing her helping out Cloud and Tifa once around town during the crisis of the geostigma. Thats where he remembered her from, but he still didn't know her name.

“Who are you, anyway? You look familiar, but I don’t really care to try to remember what your name is so...And, basically, the only way I’d know you is if you knew Cloud and Tifa, or originate from Wutai. Hmm.”

Wutai? Did she orgininate from Wutai? Reno didn't bother to think any further on that subject. Well at least they both knew Cloud and Tifa, it was a start. "My name's Reno Sinclair. I know Cloud and Tifa we're....aquaintances..." He shrugged some. He didn't feel the need to mention that he had once attacked Cloud seeing as they were allies now. He also didn't need to mention the fact that he was Second in command of the Turks. "You might've seen me around with my friend Rude during the Geostigma crisis...and who are you? If i may ask."

[yuffie]

She sighed. Maybe, if she went out of the alley with this guy looking calm like nothing, she wouldn't be recognized, and she could get away with stealing the necklaces. She had to go, too. She didn't have time to be around in alleys with guys who looked familiar, yet, at the same time, couldn't be placed in her mind. She didn't have time for any of that. She had to return to Wutai, and get more Materia. She had to make sure everyone was okay. She had to make sure they weren't in anymore trouble than they had been when she had left. She had promised her father she would take him more Materia, not like she would give any of her favorites to him. Those were for her, and for her alone. But, it wasn't as if she could get away from the alley to be able to go and get any materia, anyway. If she had her disguise, she'd better be able to escape, but, since she didn't, she'd just have to make through the rest of the day. She sighed. Honestly, Yuffie didn't exactly like it when people were polite to her. She wasn't exactly used to it. No one was exactly polite to her nowadays. Usually, when she interacted with someone lately, they'd be cursing at her to give them their stuff back. She never listened to them, but that was all she heard lately. "Don't be so polite. I demanded to know who you were, so it's only reasonable for you to know who I am. Although, you should already know." She grinned, easily, before taking a stance and pointing at herself with her thumb.

"They've called me the champion of the earth and the sky, the conqueror of evil, and the single white rose of Wutai. And, well, other stuff. But you, "Reno Sinclair" can call me Yuffie Kisaragi." She winked before letting her hand drop and pretending to be really serious. "But, if you come up with any nicknames that go with my name, keep them to yourself and go ahead and call me Yuffie, anyway." But, she couldn't help but wonder about what he had said before. If he and Cloud and Tifa were acquaintances, then shouldn't she treat him like he was an acquaintance, too? After all, how did she know he really knew them? She had been the one to mention their names. How did she know that he hadn't just been trying to impress her or something? "Hmm. I'm not sure whether or not I believe you, Reno Sinclair, but, I guess I'll just have to take your word for it." She said stiffly before glancing behind her. "Yeah. Some merchant had some very pricey necklaces on display. Why? I don't know. But, we need to be on the lookout for a small girl. Black hair." Yuffie winced and moved to where she was sure she couldn't be seen. She hadn't known the necklaces had been pricey. She had just thought that they had been regular necklaces. She let her eyes dart toward Reno, and she took out some shuriken, swiftly, before glowering at him. "If you try to turn me in, it'll be the last thing you'll ever try to do, trust me." She wasn't even sure he would try to do something, but she still wouldn't let him even try. If she had managed to steal something expensive, that meant that her skills were really good. And, how did she know they weren't very cheap, either? Just because the man had said so? "So, Rude...?"

[Reno]

Reno chuckled a little bit. Yuffie seemed to think of herself as an all powerful mighty being, and made a production out of it. A little full of herself really. But hey, Reno was....sometimes....the same way. She was definately different. "Okay, Yuffie it is. and Sorry for being so polite, I thought girls liked that...I didn't wanna get smacked by another girl today." He shrugged before pushing his goggles up a bit as they started to slide down his forehead. He then raised an eye brow as she said that she wasn't sure she should believe him or not. "I do know them...Tifa and Cloud...but think what you want." He said starting to walk off before hearing something about...pricey necklaces being stolen?

Reno turned his head just enough so he could see Yuffie out of the corner of his eyes. He shoved his hands in his pockets and back tracked towards Yuffie. "So. Got them free eh?" Reno grinned leaning against a wall now. "Well. I most certainly won't turn you in, but next time, you might not wanna...take something so valuable and be noticed." He said staring away from her.

[yuffie]

She stopped talking and stared at him with a look on her face. He had just said he didn’t want to get smacked by another girl that day. Which meant, he had gotten slapped in the past. Which only made her want to smack him over the head for doing something stupid. If he hadn’t, then he wouldn’t had gotten slapped, so it obviously meant that he deserved it. Yuffie had to admit, a small smile jumped onto her lips after she had heard that. “Well, when you’re used to being around silent types like I am, you have to admit talking to someone who talks back and is polite is a little unsettling. I mean, you’ve met our favorite spiky haired blond, haven’t you?” She questioned with a smirk on her face. She had a million names for Cloud, but, since she didn’t really want to embarrass him in front of the person she didn’t exactly know well, or trust, she decided to keep quiet for the time being. She bit her lip, thinking about what to say next. She needed him, for the moment, anyway. She could always ditch him later on, but she needed him to get her out of here. And, if, on the off chance, they found her, she could always shove him into the crowd and make her escape, she didn’t need for him to be leaving.

“Well, they were free. The only expense was having to run away from the merchant, as well as some guards, watching it. I thought that was a pretty good idea. I don’t see what the big deal is. It’s not like these things are the best thing to steal around. I saw some pretty good Materia I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on.” Yuffie knew she probably had some sort of gleam shining brightly in her eye. The thought of Materia usually did that to her, and she couldn’t wait until she got her hands on some more, not counting the many she already had in her stash. Awkwardly, she slipped the shuriken back into her pocket and laughed nervously, scratching the back of her neck again. Maybe she shouldn’t have been so quick to judge Reno, but, hey. She still couldn’t be too careful these days. “Good.” She said, rather lamely.

[Reno]

Reno smirked a little. "Well, when someone takes the opportunity to be polite...you should appriciate it more." He said before she commented about...their favorite spiky haired blond, obviously Cloud, But Reno didn't respond to that, there were some things he was more than happy to talk about, others, eh, just wasn't very interested. He liked Cloud, they were...sort of friends? But it wasn't like they were close. Oh well.

Reno figured he had three options by now. He could either stay and make sure Yuffie didn't get caught with those pricey necklaces, at least alone. Two. He could turn her in and be a good Turk, which was just as good as police, and do the right thing. Or three, just simply walk away and don't look back. If he did stay its not like he would be convicted of helping her steal anything, because he didn't, but he would stay.

"Well, the fact that guards were watching them implys that they were indeed very valuable and most certainly not free." Reno shrugged again. "Materia? Are you the one thats going around steeling EVERYONE'S materia?" Reno had heard over time from several people that someone had stolen their materia. Who would steal materia? Of course it was important, having it around and such but to steal it from other people? Of course now hearing some of the things Yuffie said about herself sure helped Reno out. Now he knew who was stealing materia, she was a total ninja theif, and to be frank, he kinda liked it. She was spunky and very sneaky if she could steal necklaces like the ones she took and materia.

[yuffie]

Yuffie pretended to stifle a yawn. There were plenty of lists around for things that she ‘should’ do. Things, of course, that she would never actually do. If she spent her life listening to what she should do, then she’d never get anywhere in life. She’d be stuck in Wutai listening to her father tell her about this thing and that. No, she preferred to do things her way. That’s how they had been since she was young, and that was how they were going to stay until she died of old age. Or, of course, until someone killed her, but that wasn’t going to happen to the great ninja.

“Yatta yatta yatta, blah blah blah. Let’s not bore me with your life story, okay? How about we say I appreciate it and move on?” She clapped her hands, twice, before leaning against the wall. She wondered what was going on through his head. “Say, you know what I do for a living-thieving and stuff like that, but I have no idea what you do. So, Reno, care to tell me what it is that you do, or do you want to just leave me in the dark?” She pushed herself off the wall and, somewhat, slid over to where he was. “Because, that’s not very nice at all.”

Yuffie somewhat winced as she gave herself away. She didn’t realize that there were a lot of people talking about how their Materia had gotten stolen. She had simply thought they would think they had dropped it somewhere. “I wasn’t paying attention to whether or not there were any guards. You think I have time to worry about such meaningless details? They caught my attention, so I stole them. End of story.” She shrugged before giving a mischievous smile. On a little kid, it might have looked cute and, still, somewhat innocent. But, on Yuffie, it looked frightening and like she had some ulterior motive planned in her head. “I don’t steal everyone’s Materia, so you know. I don’t bother to try and steal my friend’s Materia anymore. However, tourists are another matter. If they aren’t smart enough to realize how to hide such important, pretty things, it’s their problem.”

[Reno]

Reno smirked. "Fine. You appriciate it." He said with a slight shrug. Boy was she amusing to him. He actually liked her too, that was a plus right? Even though he should've done something about her stealing because he was in fact a turk working for ShinRa...but he let it slide. Reno of course thought about telling her what he did. Of course some people didn't like ShinRa and...well it just wasn't good. "Um. Me? Well I...I work for a guy, just do what he says, you know typical...employee stuff. Right?" He said trying to stay away from the whole Turk thing.

Then came that smile. Reno just figured he best not comment. Like he said before he didn't wanna get slapped again. "Well, i guess tourists are a different story..." he shrugged. "Aside from materia what else do you...collect? Just anything thats there?"

(sorry for the crap-like post. I've got to get caught up and i don't have all that much time on the computer >.<)
