A/N: No my Sesshoumaru and Yoko stories are not dead. it's just that I'm not liking how the chapters are turning out so I keep rewriting them and I thought that I might as well post something I like in the mean time.

Enjoy!

PS Yes they should be up soon! (I hope!)

For months Vincent has locked himself in that coffin saying he needs to "repay for his sins"…

Well… He's been in there for years… but ever since I found him about three years ago he "awakens" to see me…

I stand at the window of the house we've shared when he's "amongst the living" and smile as I place my hand on my stomach. Soon… Soon he will come for me and he will see I haven't lost it this time… Soon…

There's a knock at the door… Well a loud banging actually…

"Open up!!" A man yelled.

I stood up and walked to the door slowly, peaking out the tiny eyehole Vincent had made me swear to use when he wasn't here; I also carried one of his older guns.

"Who is it…?" I called.

"We are the Shinra! Open this door or we'll bust it down!!"

I gasped startled and opened the door slowly. "Yes…? How can I help you officers…?"

"We've heard rumors that one of the men from the Avalanche group lives here." One of the men answered as they pushed me aside and barged into my house.

I stumbled slightly and hit my table. "I don't know where you heard that he lives here but he's no longer here. He's been missing for a very long time."

The only girl in the group turned to look at me. "The rumor said he was here a few months ago."

"Shut up Elena. You don't need to explain yourself all the time." The man with long hair said.

"I'm sorry Reno." She answered.

"Well as you can see I'm the only one here. I'm the only one that's been here for a long time."

The bald one nodded to the man named Reno.

"Alright fine… But if we find out you've hidden him somewhere you'll be severely punished…" With that they left.

I closed the door behind them and leaned against it signing.

Oh Vincent…

There was another knock on the door, this time it was soft.

I groaned and stood slowly; I had left the gun by the door.

"Look I don't know where he—" I stopped and a smile spread across my face. "Oh Vincent…"

There before my stood the man I loved. He looked just as he did when he left me almost four months ago…

"Marie…" He murmured.

I nearly leapt into his arms until I saw the man behind him. "Oh I'm sorry… Forgive me… where are my manners… Please… Come in…" I moved away from the door and into the house.

Vincent's eyes never left my body.

I smiled at him. "Can I get you anything…?"

"Marie… You don't need to be so formal with me…" he answered softly.

God I loved his voice I just wanted to melt into his arms.

"What about your guest…?" I turned to look at the man behind him. He wasn't very tall and he was blonde; not my type at all.

Vincent shook himself as if remembering the man behind him. "Cloud this is Marie… Marie this is Cloud…"

I smiled at the short man. "So you're the one that woke my Vincent… I should thank you." I bowed slightly. "Thank you, Cloud."

"It's no problem. I didn't understand why he was sleeping anyway so I kind of forced him awake."

I laughed then. "Yes I suppose I did the same."

He blinked.

"Oh… So Vincent never told you…" I turned to Vincent. "Well… I suppose if he didn't tell you I have no right to tell you."

Vincent turned to Cloud. "I'll catch up to you later… I need to speak to Marie…"

Cloud nodded and left.

What a nice man.

"Marie…"

I turned to look up into Vincent's eyes and smiled. "Hello my darling…"

He smiled as he pulled me to him. "I'm sorry I leave you all alone so much…"

I pressed my face to his chest and breathed in deeply; he always smelled so good to me… "Don't say that… I told you I understood… and I said as long as you came to me once in awhile then I'd be alright alone…"

He lifted my chin so I looked up into his face again; he looked sad.

"I'm here now…" He began. "But… I have to leave again… I have to go with Cloud…"

I smiled slightly. "I know…" I murmured.

"I have to get my revenge…"

I nodded. "I know…"

He leaned down and touched his nose against mine softly. "You were always so supportive…" he murmured as he kissed me softly.

I moved back and gazed up at him. "Take me with you…"

"I can't… You'll be in danger with me…"

"I'm in danger staying here… They know you're my husband… They've already come looking for you…"

He stiffened. "Who…"

"There were three of them… The girl was named Elena and one of the men was Reno… The other one never said his name…"

"Rude…" He looked down at me. "Alright… I'll ask if you can come…"

I nodded as he walked out. "Vincent…"

He turned to look at me.

"We've made it past the last try…" I smiled.

He positively beamed at me; I knew how rare those were. He walked back over and pulled my against him with both arms; which also was rare. "I will make sure you can come with us…"

With that he walked out.

I smiled and picked up the few items I knew I was going to need soon; I was going with him… He wouldn't let Cloud say no.

I looked up as I heard Vincent walk through the door, this time followed by a train of people.

"Marie… This is Cloud's group… they're trying to save the planet…"

I smiled. "I know…" I looked at each person in turn. "I am Marie… Vincent's…" I stopped I didn't know what he would want me to call myself.

"She's my wife…" He answered.

"You're wife?" One of the girls asked.

"Yes, my wife."

I smiled at him.

"Are you sure you want to come with us…? You would be safer staying here." The man with a gun on his arm asked

"No… The Turks already know I live with her… They've already come searching for me…" Vincent answered. "She would be safer with us than by herself."

Cloud looked around. "Do any of you object…?"

They all shook their heads or grunted or said no.

"Then it's settled. Welcome to the team Marie."

I smiled at them all then looked up at Vincent. "Thank you…"
