"Helloo..?" Yuffie called into one of the hallways on the top floor of the Building 5. She'd run up 6 floors in two other buildings (that she had picked randomly), so she was feeling just a little out of breath.

Strolling through the hallway, she counted off the doors as she passed them. "605.. 606, 607, 608.. and 609," She declared as she came to a stop in front of the door to 609. Without any thought of knocking, she opened it.

"Oi, Naminé? You in here?" she yelled, as the door swung open.

She jerked her head up, narrowly missing impacting against the wall in shock before twisting the shower close. Naminé took a deep calming breath before moving out, pausing just behind the door and opening it slightly to peek through.

"Yuffie?" She murmured, watching a short dark-haired girl look about in the next room, hoping that it was Yuffie. Not that anybody else knew where she was, or what her name was. It was still better to be cautious.

Against her better instincts, she shivered at the cold air for lack of anything to dry herself with.

She sneezed.

"That's me! The Great Ninja Yuffie Kisaragi! Defender of the weak, enforcer of justice," The ninja listed as she fished a hand into her bag, "Basher of bad guys and stealer of.. stuff." She finished meekly, tossing a towel from her bag to the girl. Pulling out a set of clothes as well, she handed them to Namine.

"The shirt is belly bearing for me, but you're shorter and thin as a pin, so it oughta fit you fine. The shorts might be a little big, so I brought a belt over, just in case." She explained, handing over each item as she talked.

"Er, anyway, that's it." She pushed the younger girl into the bathroom. "Put those clothes on, I don't want you to catch flu or something and die, yuh know," She mentioned, grinning.

"Stealer... of stuff?" Naminé let out a quiet laugh, reminded briefly of Demyx when she had the chance to see him. She shook her head. "It's nice to meet you in person, Yuffie."

She let her eyes skim along Yuffie's clothing and decided that yes, the other girl's clothes may really be bigger on her own body. "Thank you so much, I hope I didn't interrupt anything," she said behind the bathroom door and started pulling on the clothes as they came. "You came a long way for this, I'm sorry."

She bit her lip, tightening the belt as far as it could go and smiled at her reflection. She returned to where Yuffie was waiting and smiled shyly. "Thank you very much again. I... thank you for your help."

Yuffie refrained from asking anymore about Castle Oblivion. The blonde girl obviously didn't want to go into it, and the ninja wasn't about to make her remember things she didn't want to. She had her own share of memories that she wasn't keen on going into.

"Reno.. well," she thought of how one would really describe him. "He's a red-headed Turk, who likes to drink, get into fights, and is a pervert," she decided, eventually, before adding, "But he's hella loyal, to his boss in particular. He's a good guy really." She shrugged, smiling. "I'm glad he's here.

"Connected.. to his heart," She repeated, confused.

"Are you saying that I know him? or I will know him? That I go to your world eventually? That I have to stay there?" She demanded, sitting up suddenly. That I never get back to Midgar, to AVALANCHE, to Vincent? She was being irrational, she knew, but the thought scared her. She looked away, ashamed at her outburst.

She nodded to confirm Yuffie's statement.

"I'm saying," she said calmly, unfazed by Yuffie's raised voice. It was nothing, compared to what she's been through. "Is that in another place, in another time, there was a Yuffie that Sora met.

The worlds have endless possibilities." She looked down at her hands. "There is probably a world where you never came to Spiral. And another where we would never meet, because I was never... born. And each one, we would always have the same heart." Her voice grew smaller. "That's all."

The ninja girl sat very still as she listened to all this. So many other worlds.. the thought frightened her for some reason. And the way Naminé said it, was like it was the truth that she'd known all her life.

Not quite knowing what she was doing, Yuffie found she'd cross to the other side of the table and soon had her arms around the blonde girl. In the embrace, there was no pity, because.. she didn't believe that anyone needed or wanted that. There was sadness, fatigue, hope, but mostly just plain comfort.

In a hug that she hoped felt a bit like home.

[OOC: Too much fluff. @_@]

"Y-Yuffie...?" Her eyes widened in surprise, freezing in her seat. The other girl was warm, and the embrace was just that, an embrace, without any overtones of constraint. It was just...

... just a hug.

She closed her eyes, reveling in the feeling of being held, relaxing and returning the hug, hoping to convey her gratefulness. For a good friend, for being seen as someone of her own merit, for a sister she never had.
