There's Always Been Something Missing
Part One - The Box
Disclaimer: I don't Final Fantasy VII or any of the characters so stop making write this because it's getting boring!
Author's Note: I have never played Final Fantasy VII before so I have no clue what I am talking about so if this story is crap then I'm sorry.
Vincent looked in the mirror at his eyes. He cringed at the crimson pain that lay within them and nothing would stop him from the feeling of insignificance that he harboured inside him. He was alone. Even surrounded by the gang and the crew of the Highwind, he still felt alone.
Things had changed since the fall of Sephiroth. Vincent should have felt free from the pain. Lucrecia's death had been avenged and he knew that somewhere she was at peace. But he couldn't forget. He could never forget her.
`Vinnie?' asked the small brunette that had tiptoed up beside him without a sound.
`Yuffie? I did not hear you come in. . . .'
`I'm a ninja, silly. We are masters of surprise!' Yuffie giggled but Vincent's face was hidden beneath the vast red of his cape.
`What do you want, Yuffie?' Vincent looked out to the sea that surrounded them and frowned. The Highwind was nowhere near land and all that Vincent could do was wait. Wait to land, wait forever.
`Cloud says. . . .he says that he has something he wants to talk to you about. It's about. . . .Hojo.' Vincent turned to the girl, his cerise eyes showing more pain than Yuffie had ever seen. Vincent brushed past her like a gust of black and red wind past her face. Her eyes welled up with tears. It must be so hard for him, she thought. So hard.
`Vincent, thanks for coming. Sit down,' said Cloud, signalling towards a chair in front of him.
`I'll stand. Now what is this all about?' Cloud swallowed hard, he had no idea how Vincent would take this. He had no idea how Vincent would react to news of such epic proportions.
`Okay, this is hard for me to say but I will try to keep this as simple as possible. You should sit down really, I think-`
`I said I'll stand, now tell me. What about Hojo?'
`We found, shortly after we left Lucrecia Falls for the repairs to the ship that somehow, a stray cargo box got onto the ship somehow.' Cloud pulled from his lap a small brown box. No larger than a human hand, it was scarily familiar to Vincent.
`And? What has this got to do with me?'
`It says your name on it. And it's signed. . . . from Lucrecia. Vincent looked up at Cloud in utter shock. He took the box quickly and ran from the room to the deck.
Vincent sat there for hours staring at the box. He feared what would be inside, another reminder? A reminder of Lucrecia and Vincent's love? He wouldn't last much longer if he was reminded once more of her.
`What's inside Vincent? Have you opened it yet?' Yuffie sat down beside him, her eyes were big and full of hope. Vincent's eyes had lost their hope.
`I. . . .want to be alone.'
`No you don't. Not really. Would you like me to open it? I'll tell ya if it's something nice or not. Would you like that?'
Vincent handed the box to Yuffie and stood up; he wouldn't want to be around when she opened it. He looked over the edge of the Highwind and frowned.
`Before you open it. . . ?'
`Yeah?'
`I never want to be reminded of what I've lost. So, if it's something to do with our love, I want nothing to do with it.'
I understand Vinnie. You want to block it out. I understand.'
Yuffie looked at the box and closed her eyes. She said a quick prayer that it would be something that Vincent liked and lifted the lid.
`Vincent? It's a note. . . . .'
Author's Note: I know, I know. It's terrible! I don't think you would want another chapter anyway so I'll leave it as it is. I'll write one if you R+R - give me some consructive criticism!
