This is in no way related with the song another heart calls by All American Rejects. But the title is. Lol anyway its about the change in Yuffie and Vincent's lives after three years. But it might seem stupid at first because I couldn't find a reason for Yuffie to get mad at Vincent. Or a reason that her dad would die. AND YES! I know lots of people have done the Godo dies and Yuffie HAS to take thrown thing but you will see why. It is told in Yuffie and Vincent's POV.
Please leave reviews and tell me what I can do to improve because I know I'm not that good...
Vincent POV
I stood silently on the cliff. Watching the memory of the last time I spent my day with her replay itself over and over again. Even though I wanted to take my gun and shove it down my throat for being as stupid as I was, I stared. I stared at the girl who wanted me to be happy. But I failed her. Thinking of that made something in my chest hurt. I lost my breath for a minute and it came back.
I swiftly turned around and walked down toward toward Edge. My face blank, replaying all of the times I spent with her. I frowned, it hadn't been that long ago, had it?
My cape moved behind me as I stomped to Tifa's bar. She was having another Christmas holiday party. But I knew I would only go to it to see if she came this year. Why even bother trying? She didn't come for three years she wouldn't come now. I missed her trying to take my materia or her disease where she cant stop talking. I felt my lips tighten into a small smile as I thought of her babbling.
I stopped in front of Tifa's bar. I frowned, this is the last time I saw her. She had gotten a message about her father dying, and she was crying. She ran up to her room... and my feet guided me up the stairs and into her room.
FLASHBACK:
I silently entered the room and sat on the bed with her. The room was dark, but I could see her faint outline sitting with her knees up to her chest. She tried to stop the sobbing but it didn't stop. I quietly scooted over to her and wrapped an arm around her. Her crying immediately stopped when she saw who it was.
" Oh hey Vinnie! Didn't notice you, I was uhh..." she tried to act cheerful and normal but when I shook my head she started pouring more tears. " IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" she sobbed. I didn't know why it was her fault nor did I want to find out but I instead said it wasn't. She shook her head and tried to hide her face in my cloak.
" What happened, Yuffie?" I asked. Now I wish I hadn't asked. She sobbed even harder and I could see the stain on my cloak getting bigger. I tried looking sympathetic but it didn't work. Though she giggled a bit when I twisted my face in the attempt.
" GODO DIED! They said he died because of me! ME VINCENT! ME!" she sobbed even harder. I raised an eyebrow and frowned.
" And how did you kill him, Yuffie?" I asked. She stuck some of her head out of my cloak and sniffed.
" I'm such a clumsy idiot! We were walking outside and I accidentally tripped over a rock and it pushed him over! He fell and scratched his arm! We didn't think it was that bad of a problem! And when I came over here I got a text saying that it had gotten icky and infected! AND THEN! After an amazing day with you...hes gone." she said it all too fast but the last two were slow and quiet. I knew she kind of detested her dad but, I guess she had a soft spot for him.
But as those thoughts crossed in my head a laugh escaped my lips. When I realized what I did I looked down to see her glaring at me.
" AND WHAT IS SO FUNNY ABOUT MY OLD MAN DYING?" she yelled glaring. I heard everyone down stairs start tromping up the stairs. Wow, she could yell. My mouth opened and I closed it. She looked furious I stood up and shook my head.
" Nothing Yuffie, its just I thought you would be glad to see your father gone... or laugh because he died because of a scratch." when I realized that I SAID THAT. It was too late she collided her palm to my face and was pushing my outside the door.
"Get out! Yes I may hold a little grudge over him but hes still my FATHER!" she said shoving me into the hallway. I stumbled on Tifa's foot as she looked at me and pointed at the door. I nodded and she ran inside. The door shut behind her leaving Cloud, the kids, Shelke, Barret, Cid, Shera, Red, Cait Sith, Reeve, Rufus, and even the Turks looking at me. Which I did not like one bit that Rufus and the Turks were even here. But Tifa and Reeve said we should just sit down and settle our differences. Big sitting session that was...
" What did you do?" Cloud asked sympatheticly. I shook my head and went into my room. The door closed behind me and I sat on my bed. I didn't hear in any more screaming or crying but talking. I heard drawers being shut and zippers. I frowned as I heard them. I waited for about two hours when everyone had gone to bed. I slowly sat up and opened my door. Walking a few steps I was staring at Yuffie's door.
I knocked a few times and I heard nothing. Knocking again I just stepped inside. She was sitting on the bed staring at a gift I had gotten her for Christmas. It was the last present of the night she had to open. She glared at my direction and threw the present into the wall and stormed out of the room.
I looked at the shattered box on the ground. I picked up the velvet box that contained a locket. It was an emerald that was shaped into a locket which contained a photo of her sleeping on the couch. And the other side had watch that also told the date.
I closed my eyes and followed after her still gripping the box. She opened the front door and slammed it right next to me. I sighed and opened it again and SOFTLY shut it behind me. I followed her figure down he road as she left edge. She stopped in the middle of the road and set the bag down. She folded her arms and stood there in silence.
" Yuffie I'm-" she cut me off.
" Save it." she hissed. I winced and stood there next to her. She made no attempts to look at me or even work out this mess. I didn't even mean to...
" May we speak about this peacefully?" I asked resting a hand on her shoulder. She looked at me then the hand on her shoulder. She flicked it away and glared at me.
" NO." she said flatly. I sighed and stood in front of her.
" Yuffie, it was a mistake I did not mean to..." her eyes pierced through my very soul. Never in my three and almost four years of seeing her did I see her this angry. I twitched when I met her gaze.
" Go away, I'm NOT TALKING with YOU. And I'm LEAVING, so you better move before the chopper smashes you." she said looking into the sky. I heard a faint noise and saw it coming from Edge. I growled when I saw the Turks and Rufus in a helicopter. Reno smiled from his spot in the copter and ushered Yuffie inside.
" Why hello Princess, thanks for choosing AIR RENO!" he yelled over the noise smiling. She smiled weakly back and looked at me.
" It was my FIRST choice." I glared at her and Reno. Then I decided to do the dumbest thing ever.
I walked away from her.
FLASHBACK IS OBVIOUSLY OVER
I sighed at the memories and walked inside the 7th heaven. I glanced around to see if I could see her smiling face. Wishing that damn memory wasn't real.
But it is.
I growled when I heard my head say that. Tifa smiled from behind the bar and gestured to a seat. I nodded slowly and walked toward her. I sat down next to a drunk customer and rolled my eyes. He was trying and failing to get Tifa into bed.
" Come on, I'm sure spiky over there wont mind if I give you what you need." he said. I heard Cloud snarl and start towards the man. He was too late, I enjoyed tipping his stool and him tumble to the ground. Cloud smiled at me and nodded. Tifa tried to hold her laughter also, I looked down at him.
He was then grabbed by two hands and shoved out the door. Cloud came around the bar and hugged Tifa slightly before glancing at me.
" Glad you could make it Vincent." he said smiling. Tifa nodded and sighed. Which I knew was a sign that she wouldn't be coming.
" Alright everyone, shove out I got decorations to put up and stuff to clean before I open my own damn presents." Tifa said laughing. Everyone paid their Gil and left without any tantrums. I looked at the already put up Christmas tree.
It was beautifully decorated, and had Christmas cards for everyone on it also. What was also down there was everyone's presents.
I winced as I saw the name. Each year, in hopes that she would come back, everyone would put down some Christmas presents for her. Hell, the Turks bought her six packs of beer when it was her 21st birthday and gave her that for Christmas.
But she never came
I heard the door open and saw the Turks and Rufus come in. over the past few years we really did settle our differences. Shinra was now donating to many projects to help everyone out, the Turks were also helping out ( Even RENO).
" Hello, my good fr-enemies." Reno said. He had named us his fr enemies because we are both friends now and enemies before. And that day they were all watching Mean Girls.
Marlene, who had grown a lot since I had last seen her smiled widely and waved. Reno and Rude ran up to the stools and started demanding drinks. I rolled my eyes, that was the first thing they would do on a long list of things that could go wrong tonight.
I heard Barret, Cid, Shelke, Shera, and Reeve come downstairs. They all waved and smiled at everyone in the room. Reno, waved at Shelke and winked. She sighed and giggled at the same time. (he has taken a liking to her now that she was "older"). She found the attention from him funny.
I heard my phone ring and I looked at the number. It was Red. I let it ring a minute and opened it up.
" Sorry to bother you Vincent, but if you are at the party, tell the others I will be there in about an hour and a half." he said.
" OK," was all I said and I hung up. I smirked when I thought of the idea about Red dialing a phone. I frowned, how did he dial it....
1 and a half hours later...
" I'm serious Vinceeee... YOU... ME...and RUDE... should totally hang out sometime. I mean we would totally..." I looked at Reno and saw that he fell out of his chair, taking Rude with him. Tifa had experience with the two and decided each year that she would give them sleep pills that would kill them four about an hour.
Tifa giggled as they fell asleep on the floor. She walked over and closed all the blinds and the blinds on the door. Red had failed to arrive so she decided they would open the door when he got here. Marlene sat on Denzel's lap as they all watched a movie. There was barely any more room in there so Cloud had went upstairs to find more chairs.
half an hour later...
I sat in my chair and watched Denzel and Marlene pick out a movie. They bickered as each movie was shown to each other. Denzel finally gave into Marlene and they put in Pirates of the Caribbean. I think Denzel only gave in because he forgets that Marlene is still a child. And that he was mature and more grown up.
Cloud and I had dragged Reno and Rude into the living room and sat them against the wall. Cid, Shera, and Barret sat on the couch and surprisingly squished Denzel and Marlene on there too. Cloud and Tifa cuddled much to everyone's disgust in a chair. The other Turks and Shinra all sat in plastic chairs Cloud had brought.
before the movie even started, a light knocking was heard in from the door. Tifa went in there and told them that it was time to go. She came back in but before she could sit down an even louder pounding was heard.
" Don't worry guys ill handle it." Tifa said putting on her gloves. Everyone laughed as she went into the bar. She swung the door open. " LOOK ITS FREAKING CHRISTMAS GO TO YOUR HOUSE TO PAR..." her voice ended. She started squealing and everyone ran into the kitchen.
We all sighed and looked at her. She was jumping up and down in the doorway. Red stood by her.
" Uhh, look no offense Red but jesus its not like its been forever since we saw him." Cid said scratching his head. Red laughed and came inside. Everyone smiled and nodded.
Tifa was still jumping like an idiot outside.
" TIFA! It was only Red." Cloud said. She looked at us with a huge smile and stepped aside.
There in the winter cold, stood Yuffie Kisaragi.
