Kiya's POV
I locked the door of my small cottage house, the flowers above the door were finally blooming and it seemed almost a shame to leave them unnoticed. It is the 13th of July and I couldn't be happier. There is a huge Wutian festival on next week and the AVALANCHE members are coming to stay with me for a while to celebrate.
It has been nearly a year since Sephiroth's Reunion and people are finally starting to get their lives back to normal, even me…. This for me is saying something.
I accidentally dropped my keys as a result of my day dreaming. Bending down I picked them up before glancing in front of me, and to my surprise I saw someone I had not seen in an age.
Vincent's POV
Kiya looked at me, but I was not sure if she had registered who I was. A few of her curly bangs had fallen across her face, making her seem even more ethnic than she had done the first time we where in each others company.
Flashback
Vincent ran into a room in an effort to escape the guards. He was in Zienna (a small area in Wutai) and had been caught trying to interrogate a man who he was told had a lead into destroying Chaos. Turning around after barricading the door he noticed its utter beauty.
It was decorated with black, red and purple satin draped all over the wooden furniture. Champagne coloured pillows with golden tassels were neatly placed in groups of three and four in each seat. The carpet was maroon, as were the walls, a wooden screen designed with embroidered flowers was covering the far left corner. In short the room was completely breath taking; fit for any wealthy person.
Vincent spun around, Cerberus loaded as a noise came from behind the screen. But what had made the noise was no cold blooded guard; instead there was a young Wutian girl with long black hair tied up with golden ribbon and a bronze clip in the shape of a butterfly. Strands of her hair floated down her beautifully designed off the shoulder kimono, each bang curled and sized to perfection.
For a moment she looked startled, but then again who wouldn't have been with a gun barrel facing them. Vincent lowered Cerberus and placed it back into its holster. Another noise was sounded at the door and this time he knew it was the guards. The young girl brought her finger up to her lip, Vincent realised this was her way of saying keep quiet so he stood perfectly still. She then beckoned him to hide behind the screen, he hesitated but knew if he was not to do so, the chances were he would get hurt, or get the girl in trouble.
End of flashback
This time Kiya was wearing a Cerulean blue dress which after she stood up, ended at her ankles. Her hair was once again curly and flowing down her back like an ebony waterfall.
"V-Vincent" she stammered, I now realised that she did know who I was. I answered with a small nod. A wave of relief fell over me; since when have I ever been that relieved when someone remembers me?
Kiya's POV
Vincent! It was actually Vincent, of all the people I thought I would see. Oh it has been so long since out last meeting, almost a year I think. He hasn't changed at all; his hair is still long and held up with a deep red bandana, which ironically matches his cloak.(the thought of Vincent colour coordinating is kinda cute) The end of it is tattered, and jagged, adding to his mysterious demeanour.
Even though Vincent isn't the most social person I have ever met, something about him is intriguing.
"Kiya…It's been a while" He said in his smooth yet rustic voice. My heart almost gave out then, but I controlled myself. Truth be told I've kinda always had a slight crush on Vincent, but I know it's not a good idea to fall for someone again. My heart has already been broken before; I don't think I'd be able to handle it. And besides, Vincent isn't looking for a relationship right now… or ever. He just cant let go of his beloved Lucrecia.
"Are you okay?" Vincent said. Damn! I was daydreaming again.
Vincent's POV
"Yeah sorry Vincent, I was miles away. How have you been?" she said after a small pause.
It was not in my intentions to see Kiya, but destiny has it ways, which in my case normally go against my will.
"I've been well thank you"
"Come in for a while Vincent" Kiya offered, I was tempted but I did not want to intrude her personal space.
"Thank you Kiya but I must be going" I quickly walked by her and made my way down the road without looking back.
After I had got some provisions from the nearest item shop, I made my way to the Black 'n' White inn. My phone started to vibrate as I sat down on the bed in the small room I had rented. Looking at the screen it read
Yuffie Calling
This is my phone, I had asked Cloud to tell her she had not right calling it.
"Valentine" I said with a sigh as I flipped it open. I wasn't in the mood for a worked up teenager babbling on about materia right now.
"Well hello to you to Vinne" I heard a small giggle which I assumed was her and I sighed again.
"What do you want Yuffie, its 1o'clock in the morning and I'm tired "She stopped laughing and continued with her latter rant.
"Okay Mr grumpy boots. Reeve called and said he needed to talk to you. And we, being the kind group of friends we love to be, are going to take you" I didn't want to get into an argument with Yuffie on how I hated social meetings so I just agreed.
"See that wasn't so hard, was it? Okay cya at 12o'clock tomorrow morning. Goodb..." I cut her off short and hung up.
I stripped down until I was in my boxers and got under the covers. Resting the back of head on my hands, I looked up to the ceiling and wondered.
What on earth could Reeve want with me. I could only cause trouble in whatever investigation or problem he has.
