Looking at the sunset, Vincent Valentine sighed. He was thinking about all the trauma from saving the world, and about his nightmares..

He had been having nightmares about Sephiroth coming back and killing everyone. It was horrible.

He was living in Kalm now, not wanting to go back to Nibelhiem because of the memories he had of Sephiroth and such. He had an uncanny feeling that something wasn't right, but he couldn't place it.

He rose from his seat on the beach and hesitantly walked back up to go back to Kalm.

While he was entering the town, he caught a glimpse of a girl..a very mysterious girl. The girl had a blood-red hooded cloak, and underneath it was all black. His thoughts uneasily dwelled on her as he turned to go to his house.

He had fallen to sleep at about midnight, rather reluctantly.

He had another dream. This time it was about that girl he saw, and Sephiroth, ruling the world together. The two laughed evilly as they killed cloud and all his other friends.

Sitting straight up in bed, Vincent looked around quickly and then wiped his sweat-drenched forehead. He got out of bed, being only in boxers, and got some pants on then walked to his window.

He saw the full moon and grinned a bit. Looking down at his claw arm, he flexed it, out of boredom, then frowned, knowing how imperfect he was.

His gaze fell over the town, sleepily, but he noticed the inn door opening..it was the girl. It was one in the morning, what could she possibly be doing at one in the morning? Not having time to get dressed, fully, he grabbed his red cloak and swiftly made his way out to follow the girl.

She went to the beach and sat, unknowingly, exactly where Vincent had been sitting. He crept behind a nearby rock to watch her for anything suspicious.

She took in a breath and lowered her hood, saying behind her shoulder, "if you're going to stalk me, at least let me know who you are."

Vincent couldn't believe she had seen him! Or maybe..she didn't. could she sense his very presence? Either way, he stepped out and sat beside her, his hand casually resting on the handle of his gun.

"im Vincent Valentine. Who are you?"

She looked at him with a smile and responded, "im Kali. I've come from bone village..it's a very small town in the-"

"I know where it is.I've been there. But I've never seen you before."

"ohh.." She didn't know how to answer. "umm, I was usually sick. All the dust and stuff.I was always in the tent and the little house/cave they had."

"I see." He swallowed. Should he bring up the topic of Sephiroth? "um, can I ask you a question, Kali?"

"sure, go ahead."

He searched for words that wouldn't offend her. "do you know a man named Sephiroth?"

"Sephiroth?..cool name...but I don't think I do..do you have a picture of him?"

He nodded. He had gotten it from a file he found once, he didn't actually intend on keeping it, but he never cleaned out his pockets very often.

"here.." He handed her the picture.

It was a rather striking pose, even for Sephiroth. He was standing with his head slightly tilted, he had no shirt on, and was leaning on his sword with a smile. When this was taken was a complete mystery.

"oh.." She said, grinning sexily. "he's.he's nice looking isn't he?...can I keep this?"

He shot her a very awkward and surprised look, then came back to his senses, "go on and keep it. I have no use for it. I don't want to even remember a shred of that evil man."

Not saying anymore about Sephiroth, she brought up a new topic that kept them talking till dawn.
