Chapter 48: Trouble in Sand and The Pack: Part II

Tifa walked through the village after leaving Yuffie still struggling to break whatever hold Kiyomi had over them which prevented the Taki trio from not only escaping the village, but also prevented them from even speaking about it. She still blushed in embarrassment as she recalled how she and Yuffie had begun acting like drunkards when they had tried shouting out about their being prisoners. Needless to say they had not gotten the message across and had ended up in the local drunk tank of the Anbu that had handled the matter.

Truth be told though, it was only her loyalty to Yuffie that had kept her from enjoying their relatively new found freedom. Tifa heard the sound of laughter coming from one of the drinking establishments that she passed and stopped to look at it. Noticing the name of the bar was Seventh Heaven, she smiled as she watched the people enjoying themselves through the window and was tempted to join them. But, knowing that being surrounded by strangers would cause her to revert to the personality Kiyomi had forced on them, decided to return to the home she had at Kiba's. She sighed at not being able to properly enjoy herself since one of her dreams had been to open a similar establishment in a big village.

She noticed the gazes that she received from several men as she walked through the village's streets. She smirked as one of them was hit in the shoulder by his girlfriend as he was caught staring. Tifa felt good about the attention especially as a part of the reason she had been selected to be a part of Yuffie's squad was because of her rather plain looks. That plus she, Yuffie, Aeris and the fourth member of their squad had all resembled each other and so it had allowed the women to infiltrate villages by pretending to be a family. But feeling like she had gone from a five, on most men's scales for not being too pretty nor too ugly, to a full on ten, Tifa couldn't help but want to make the most of it.

Something she had done with her wardrobe as she had used some of the money Kiba had given her, which had been given to him by Kiyomi, to purchase the current outfit that she wore, which consisted of a white halter top and short black skirt that was being held up by suspenders. On her feet she had forgone the typical open toed style sandals for a pair of red outdoor boots, and although she had left them at home a pair of gloves with metal knuckles completed the outfit.

All in all her new outside appearance matched the perfect version she had always pictured she could become if only her genetics had been a little kinder. She didn't know why Kiyomi, had decided to modify her as such, but she was grateful for it. Truthfully, Tifa had always wished she had possessed Yuffie's abundance of confidence since it had appeared that the only thing Kiyomi had needed to do to give Yuffie her preferred form was to make the grey-haired older woman young again. Something, Tifa was attributing to her former team leader's current strange behavior. For example, the fact that she and Yuffie had just spent several hours straining to see how far they could move from the village, while on the surface was a rather smart means of testing the controls Kiyomi had placed on them. The fact that Yuffie was still straining against them and hoping to will herself away seemed much more like a teenager thing to do, rather than the cool-headed leader she had been. Tifa giggled as she guessed that Yuffie was likely finding it difficult to maintain that coolness as a result of some of the hormones that had begun to course through her as a result of her becoming a teenager again.

Tifa though really wasn't sure that she wanted to escape her new predicament. Granted, she wished she was in full control of her own faculties all the time, but she had always felt restrained by living in Taki. Primarily since as a minor shinobi village, she had always pictured it as a backwater kind of town. A fact highlighted by its small stature and that it refused to expand so it could remain hidden behind the waterfall that gave it its name. In fact it was in order to escape being stuck in her village that caused Tifa to join Yuffie's squad in the first place.
