A Bite in the dark.

Chapter 1

Vincent stood on the bridge of the Highwind. He couldn't believe that they actually defeated Sephiroth. They were back on their back to Midgar, to check o the damage meteor had caused. That's when he saw Tifa walk past him, heading to the quarters. He hadn't had a woman in a long time, he thought. But that wasn't why she caught his eye. His hunger had been growing, but no matter how much he ate, it kept growing. He found out why, after he had eaten a bloody stake. It seamed that the blood helped, but not even the steak fully satisfied him. That is when he realized it. He hungered for blood. He could only assume that this was the after effect of Hojo's experiment. He had tried many different kinds and found that nothing cured his hunger like chicken blood. That was until after one of their fights he had gotten a bloody lip. Sucking on it trying to stop the bleeding, he got a feeling he had never gotten before. He couldn't believe it. This was like the stories his mother had told him as a child. He soon found that he could hear the heart beat of those around him. It was driving him insane. Finally, on this day, he couldn't stand it anymore. He went after Tifa.

Entering her room, he found it empty, he was about to turn and leave when he noticed that the shower was running. He almost decided that this was a bad idea and left but before he could leave the shower stopped, and Tifa walked out of the bathroom in a towel.

" Vincent!" She exclaimed. Covering herself despite the towel. "What are you doing here,"

" I was looking for you" Vincent replied, using his smoothest voice. He had realized that he had a knack for getting his way with people, after talking to Yuffie one day. It was probably another side effect of the experiment.

Tifa quickly warmed up to him, but was far from submissive. " You could have knocked."

" But I like the way I found you."

Tifa blushed " that's flattering, but you really should leave."

" Why? Don't you want me here?" Vincent asked, crossing the room over to her. She had never noticed how swiftly he moved.

" No" she answered.

" Are you sure?"

" No"

With a smile, Vincent gave the knot in the towel a tug. It fell to her feat. Before she could cover herself, Vincent embraced her. She gave a soft whimper. His charms were working. He softly brushed his lips against her neck. That was it, she practically melted in his arms. She pressed herself up against him, wanting him, but he had other plans. He swiftly grabbed a handful of her hair and yanked her head to the side.

" Not so rough!" She cried, but Vincent didn't listen. He sank his teeth into her flesh.

She screamed and struggled, beating her hands against his back, but Vincent held on tight. After a moment he released her, letting her fall to the floor. She was breathing heavily, her eyes wide. Vincent turned and left the room. He would see her again tomorrow.
