Now,
before I forget to mention this: I do not own FF7. If I owned FF7,
Vincent and Yuffie would officially be a couple, and Reno would
appear shirtless at some point during Advent Children. Kapeesh? (Yes,
I KNOW it's not spelt that way. That's how I spell it, because you
weirdos invented a spelling that DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.) Oh, and I don't
own the characters, storyline, or anything at all. Just my computer
and any other new stuff.
So don't sue me!!
Another sidenote:
I'm sorry if I make a mistake as to places and dates and stuff from
FF7 and DoC or anything. I've never played the games; only watched
the movie. So inaccuracy is kind of unavoidable, but if you spot a
mistake don't be mean about it. Just tell me nicely and I'll fix it.
(if possible)
Thanks, and now you can finally enjoy the read.
Hopefully.
:P
It
was an unusually bright night, and Yuffie couldn't help but notice
the swarms of fireflies glistening under the stars. It was the middle
of summer; the best time to travel.
Tourists walked around
totally oblivious, carrying wallets that were much to heavy. Yuffie
had taken it upon herself to save the poor tourists, especially the
ones carrying materia.
Not only that, but it was warm at night,
and you could sleep pretty much whereever. If you were in the country
there was bound to be some kind of food lying around, and you could
just help youself if you only took a bit.
But the best part was
that everyone was home this summer.
Cid and Shera had let her
stay for about a week in Rocket Town, then she'd gone to Midgar to
stay with Tifa and the kids. Cloud was still in the church mostly,
although he was plannin to move out soon. She'd stayed there for two
nights, too; swimming in Aerith's pool more than she slept and
keeping Cloud up until, frustrated, he went back to the bar to
sleep.
Next, she decided to go to Cosmo Canyon to visit Red. Her
decisions weren't really founded on convenience, but, like many of
her plans, were spur-of-the-moment impulses. She'd stayed at Cosmo
for three weeks, because Reeve and Barrett had been staying there,
too.
Now, she was on her way to see one last person.
She'd
wanted to visit him earlier, but figured she'd get teased. Plus, Godo
was currently really pissed at her (she'd dropped a live fish down
the back of an important visitor in a wheelchair with the initials
R.S.) and if she could wait the last bit out with Vince, that would
be awesome.
Godo usually needed about three months to calm down;
she'd been away for two. So, she was either going to stay with Vinnie
or drop in on Reno and Rude, or maybe Elena. The Turks were
surprisingly fun once you got to know them. At least, Reno was. Elena
and Rude were quieter, but they came in handy when somebody wanted to
beat the crap out of the troublemaking half of the group.
She was
getting closer to the town, which was currently in the process of
being rebuilt. The only complete building was the mansion, and it
looked like something out of a horror movie. Something Yuffie
intended to change.
She made her way over, past half-constructed
houses and dozing workers, skipping up the steps and ringing the
doorbell loudly.
Vincent muttered a few obscenities at the
sound of the doorbell. He was in the middle of cooking his dinner,
for goodness' sake. He didn't need the stupid workers and tourists
ringing his doorbell for trivial nothings when he was weilding a
rather large chopping knife.
Taking the knife with him (out of
absentminded annoyance, not out of a particular desire to kill
whoever was disturbing him), he opened the door.
"AAAAH!
Oh, okay, hi Vinny. Sorry, I saw the knife before I saw you. Heheh."
Yuffie giggled nervously, brown eyes widened slightly. She looked
sheepish, but was still bouncing and moving and twitching like she
usually was.
Just his luck. I
almost would have preffered a tourist...no, not really. I suppose
Yuffie's not that bad. Probably just had a little too much sugar. He
thought.
"Hello...You've been travelling?" Vincent
asked, motioning at the suitcase with gloved hand. He didn't wear
the gauntlet when he was home; it became tedious. Besides, he'd
decided that his fighting attire didn't always
have to
be worn. He wasn't growing lazy, just tired of the stares. Tired of
the fighting.
"Heh, yup! Godo got mad at me 'cause I put a
fish in Rufus' shirt. Speaking of shirts, that's a nice one, Vincey.
Where's the cloak? Did it finally fall into little bits or is it in a
closet somewhere?"
Vincent couldn't help but smile at the
idea of Rufus with a fish down his back. Not to mention the praise;
he did like the shirt. It was a deep red, the closest he could find
to match his eyes. It wasn't perfect, but a normal human (like
Yuffie) wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two
shades.
"Thank you. I'm assuming that you want to stay
here?"
"Yeah, actually. Is that okay? 'Cause if it's not
okay I can totally go stay with like, Reno or-"
"You can
stay."
Vincent didn't really like Reno much, let's just say
that. Yuffie didn't need any more irresponsible idiots in her life,
either.
"YES! SCORE! EPIC WIN- I mean, er, thanks, Vince."
The ninja stopped mid-victory leap and grinned. "So, um, where's
my room?"
"There are countless guest rooms. You can pick
one out yourself, I'm sure." He stepped aside, and Yuffie
barreled through the door.
"Thanks again, Vinnie-Vin! If you
want I'll make supper."
Vincent immediatly became slightly
wary- Yuffie didn't do well with most recipes. Heck, she could burn
salad.
Actually, now that he thought about it, she'd done that
before. 'It
just looked like it needed more flavor! Burnt is a flavor!'
He
smiled at the memory, shaking his head. "I'll do it, Yuffie. I
enjoy cooking. In fact, I already started making supper, so I suggest
you get settled while I finish."
"Alright. But tomorrow,
I'm makin' Wutain, okay?"
"Fine. "
Hopefully her
Wutain cooking was better than that burnt
salad.

Yes,
RFS, wonderful! Write yet another story while you haven't finished at
least eight others!
Le Sigh.
Oh well. I will try to update
this, although I have no freakin' idea where this is going.
