There were times when it really wasn't worth it to wake up. It was just...It hurt. She had never felt so abandoned in her life and she wanted to just go back and figure out how she could have fixed it. Maybe if she'd just tried harder to get him to understand when his mother had gone into the coma. Fucking delusional asshole leaving her behind.
She had tried to get to his apartment and....nothing. He had been long gone and she had not even tried to open the letter she knew was waiting for her. She hadn't gone into his kitchen. Or anywhere but to look. There had been at least an hour after she knew he was gone that she just sat on his floor with her back against the wall and the phone in her hand, unable to believe that there was no chance he was going to walk in that door any moment and sigh and ask her what she wanted to eat or what she was there for. Yuffie had promised she wouldn't cry over stupid shit years ago. Enough stuff hits you and you say I GIVE UP PEOPLE AREN'T WORTH IT. But damn it....She had cried till she couldn't

Pacing the room, she pondered on going to get a few more things done before Yuffie managed to drag herself here. Namely, it was Shunsui. Yet no matter how nice it would be to snatch that man up and drag him to his own bedroom to do as she wished, her best friend was much more important. Frowning, she flipped open her phone and was surprised to see one new message. Questioningly, she looked to see who it was from, and quickly shut her phone when it said the number was private. Not Yuffie; probably someone in dire need of assistance. The money would be nice right now... even though she did not want to continue that life any longer. Biting her lip, she listened to the sounds of the men around the house. Maybe if she opened up a private bank account, translating in her language to, getting a nice place to stash the cash

Yuffie was not surprised by Jinx dragging her in the house and her stealing the bags from Yuffie's back and arms. In fact, it as a relief to see her happy and practically bouncing off the walls in a way Yuffie hadn't gotten the privilege to see her friend before. In made her smile a little less fake. She hadn't expected anything other then Jinx's normal behavior which included some very incorrect ideas of social norms. Showing up saying "Hey Yuff, can you stitch my arm" was one of them, sniffing her was another.
As Yuffie pulled off her boots and went to stand behind Jinx. She thought she had gotten off fairly easy. Jinx was probably not going to ask and she wouldn't have to talk and-
That hope was dashed to pieces as Jinx's arms were thrown around her. She stood still as her friend asked what was wrong and how she could help and all Yuffie could do was stare at the wall opposite and try to come up with a reasoning, something to say so she didn't have to say the words to anyone else, didn't have to admit...
Jinx's eyes widened more as Yuffie clung to her. What the hell has happened? was ti that Cloud guy messing with her head again? It was best not to ask while they were still standing. Leaving all her shit thrown about the entryway, Jinx released from her best friend and grabbed her hand. Those words that could barely come out of her mouth were enough to spark a world of worry in the assassin. "Yuff, come on, let's go sit down and talk about this." And with that, she proceeded to drag the thief into the living room that Jinx had gotten much too comfortable in for her own good. The house was warm, smelling of the wonderful food that Jushirou was cooking for dinner. It was nice, kind and full of so many memories now. And for the time being, the three people she cared about most in this room where gathered in the same building

Jushirou had been in the kitchen the entire time when the events transpired. And that was a fairly good thing as, unbeknown to just about everyone who had ever BEEN in said kitchen was that it was positioned so that he could perfectly hear just about anything that might possibly make more sound than normal. Including things like bulbs breaking. Which had been happening quite a lot lately...
However, he put the girls' conversation out of his mind for the most part. Mostly just filing it for future reference. He had other, graver things on his mind. Word had gotten to the AMC about a certain Monacello produced assassin that was soon to become rogue...and therefore far more dangerous. The investigation was fully under his jurisdiction, and he had spent a few long nights compiling data on possible leads to get nothing in return.
Ah well...the noodles were almost done. He'd have to chill them a bit, though.
"Dinner's almost ready!" he called to the room behind him.
Shunsui did as Jinx told him and he went into the kitchen to fetch beers and a new light bulb. He looked a little rattled by the time he walked in. Something about conflicted emotions and resisting the urge to give Yuffie a big uncle-hug.
Shunsui always had problems with the concept of minding his own business.
"How's it going, Jushirou? Do you need a hand with anything?" Shunsui asked him, getting into the fridge for cold bottles.
"If you could stir the peanut sauce, that'd be lovely," Jushirou remarked, checking on the noodles and tossing in some diced onions and celery. A good hearty meal they would enjoy tonight, he thought. He had been more encouraged to cook now that he had more mouths to feed. It was odd...how his "family" kept growing.
