Hey everyone! Akiko here! So this is a Yuffentine story that just kind of came to me one night and so I wrote it down; it's one of my earlier stories so please tell me what you think!
I don't own Final Fantasy 7 or any of its contents
"Vincent! Vincent! Let me help you!" A girl with short black hair was running towards a guy with long black hair and a red cape.
He didn't reply and continued walking through the forest. The place was especially dark because of the clouds covering the moon.
The girl continued to run after him and finally caught up. She stopped to catch her breath and he kept walking towards the heart of the forest.
"Hey!" She exclaimed and ran after him once more. This time he stopped, but it was because he'd reached his destination- not because of her outburst. He stood behind a tree, his back towards her as he analyzed the situation.
"Vincent!" She whined. "Why won't you talk to me? Tell me what I need to do!"
He swiftly brought his finger to his lips and then turned back around so fast Yuffie thought she might have imagined it.
She shrugged it off and exclaimed his name once more, this time exasperated. "Vincent!"
He moved so fast, the girl hardly took in what happened. One moment he was behind the tree in front of her, the next he was behind her, his non-clawed hand pressed gently, yet firmly at the same time, on her mouth.
She muttered something incomprehensible into it.
"Hold on, Yuffie." Vincent quietly commanded. His deep voice made the ninja's heart skip a beat.
She nodded once into his hand and he took it off. She let him go about his examining without saying anything, but after two minutes she cracked.
"We're going to destroy the building, right?" She whispered. "This'll be so much fun!" The excitement shown clearly in her brown eyes.
"You're not going." Vincent's back was to her as he said this.
"What?" Yuffie asked in disbelief. "Why not?" The ninja stomped her foot. "I'm not going to get in the way, if that's what you're worried about."
The dark avenger didn't say anything.
"Or hurt, either." She added after a moment's pause.
"It's not that." Vincent's mind shut down the sudden image of the girl in an injured state.
"What is it then?" Yuffie's eyes blazed with a growing anger, although she was more confused as to why Vincent wouldn't let her go.
"I have to do this alone." He whispered. And without waiting for her to respond, he swiftly disappeared into the night.
"Vincent!" Yuffie sighed heavily, irritated. Why, he should know by now he can't get rid of me that easily! She smirked and started for the tower.
So that was Chapter 1! I know it was pretty short but let me know what you think! Thanks for reading it and I'll post Chapter 2 shortly!
