Of Time And Place - A Yuffentine Fan Fiction

AU: This fan fiction is my first and is based off of this garbled piece I wrote for a friend describing how her art work came to be (Link- .com/art/A-Valentine-s-Day-Piggyback-112934866 ) My DeviantArt ID is LilSongstress and the original piece is #2 on that page... XD

Cassy13 has been hamoring me ever since to turn my extremely short blurb of a story into a full blown fan fiction so... Without further ado here it is... In all it's squeaky clean glory. -_-'

Chapter One - Camera..... Check

"This is just the perfect day for a party..." The Single White Rose of Wutai thought deeply in her depressed state, rain pounding away heavily upon the rooftop of the abandoned Shinra manor . It seemed like it had been raining for days, especially to one Yuffie Kisaragi who was visiting the old building with former AVALANCHE members Cloud, Tifa, Vincent, Cid, and Barret. She had recieved her invitation to the "reunion" party over two weeks ago and had been ranting and raving about seeing her old friends and dear companions ever since. Sadly though, as Vincent continuely pointed out to her, "Life is hardly ever what you expect it to be."

She sighed loudly, her frustration evedent. There just wasn't anything to do! The outside party was postponed due to rain, Tifa had a headache so she was lying down and didn't want to be bothered, Cid was working on the Shera, Barret was helping Cid, Vincent was God-only-knows- where, and Cloud was- Yuffie suddenly discovered a wonderfuly delicious idea... She swiftly retrieved her camera from her bedside table and maniacly flew out the door towards the boys bathroom.

Peaking cautiously around the corner, the great ninja verified the coast was indeed clear and stealthily entered the forbiden domain. Smirking melevolently, she congratulated herself for coming up with such a brilliant idea. If head-over-heals-in-love Tifa would pay big bucks for a picture of Cloud in his usual attire, just think how much she would pay to get pic of Mr. Camera-Shy in his birthday suit! Just the thought of all that extra gil made Yuffie practically squeal with glee, in fact she did... Very loudly... Covering her mouth shamefully in shock for such lack of professionalism, she glanced around in paranoia, hoping no one had heard her.

Yuffie smiled, she really should try to relax. Anyone who would catch her was clear on the other side of the manor, the only one even on this side of the creaky old house was the object of her hunt. Swallowing her apprehensions she pushed open the bathroom door, attempting to move silently through the watered down old bathroom. Her attempts however were proven useless, given the fact that the entire floor was covered in huge puddles making it impossible not to slush through them. "Oh well," She thought in defeat. "If he hears, he'll probably just think I'm one of the other guys."

As she followed the sound of running water, Yuffie readied her camera and prepared herself for the fast getaway her actions would require. When she reached the source of the sound, the single running shower in the whole bathroom, the only one with no door, the one occupied by not Cloud Strife but one Vincent Valentine, she couldn't help but stare. Nothing obscene was showing, she could only see his top half, and yet it was still more of the "real" Vincent than she had ever seen or ever dreamed to see.

The male gunner was covered in healing wounds and old scars, many of them appeared to be quite painful, though of course the bearer would never show his pain to anyone. Each deep-red scar stood out harshly against the pale white skin of her old friend and made the female ninja cringe inwardly with sympathy pains. "Poor Vincent" She thought sadly, secretly marveling at his painfully beautiful body. He looked as though he were made of porcelain and yet she knew, perhaps better than any other, of Vincent's amazing strength. Yuffie sighed loudly, preparing to abandon the mission "Capture Cloud Unseen" when she found that Vincent was staring at her.

"Oh shit," She thought frantically. "How long has he been watching me?" Yuffie tried to come up with some liable excuse for being anywhere near this particular shower-stall, but not a single useful thought came. She found it impossible to think clearly when faced with the deep wells of his amazing molten-gold eyes. "Vincent I...." She started, but found that she was suddenly incredibly dizzy. She attempted to steady herself by grabbing the stall wall, but her hand missed and because of the wet floor her already dizzy self slipped, falling backwards towards the stone tile of the bathroom floor...
