"YUFFIE!!!" he turned around and saw that Tifa had unshed tears in her eyes. He looked down to where she was looking and saw the letter. After he read it he let out a roar of anguish as he fell to his knees and cried.

"Vincent come on we have to get out of here and find Yuffie ASAP!" Vincent looked up at Tifa as more tears fell down his cheeks.

"Tifa you're right... we must find her." Vincent and Tifa ran out of the room to meet up with the rest of the group.

"Hold on Yuffie I'm coming."

(With Yuffie in her P.O.V.)

"Well, well, well, it seems that the poor little girl is a weakling after all. I thought that this would've been more fun, but it seems that I'm wrong..." I looked up at Hojo from my place on his blasted operating table. He walked over to a metal cabinet and opened it. Inside were some kind of glass test tube with what looked like blood in them and metal arm that look just like Vincent's only silver. I started to shake.

'Great, first I'm beaten and raped, but now this?' I was sobbing on the inside but my strong front never wavered. Hojo approached my naked body and put his hand on my inner thigh, I tried to move away but I was chained in place unable to move one inch!

"Now I will hide you so that no one will find you, but" he laughed "they wouldn't want you even if they did. Who would want a monster?" that made me think of Vinnie, I broke down crying as he bit into the top of my breast again causing it to bleed anew. His ice blue eyes pierced mine as he pulled out a mako covered dagger, the blood filled test tube in hand, and plunge it into my breast... right though my heart. The last thing I saw was the sadistic smile on his face and a burning pain as he forced the liquid into my dying heart.

(Normal P.O.V.)

Hojo looked down at Yuffie as smiled that same sadistic smile he was wearing through-out the whole ordeal. He then walked over to the same cabinet and pulled out the clawed arm walking back over to the 'dead' girl. As he did an alarm sounded echoing around the small room meeting Hojo's elvin like ear as his smiles became smug. There were intruders in the lab.

"Well it looks like I have less time than I thought princess." Hojo worked quickly on her right arm. After he got that taken care of he pulled a vial that contained a silvery substance in it that shone even then the light flicked off and used one of her pale form. Yuffie's breathing came back but she still slept. He smirked and placed her in a black leather mid-sleeve shirt, black long pants, and thigh high zipper boots over the pants then in a thick black cloak, like Vincent's wrapping it around her like a blanket, just as the doors to the lab broke open to show one enraged Demon gunslinger.

Vincent looked past Hojo and saw Yuffie on the table wrapped in a blanket blood was covering the floor. Yuffie's long black hair looked silkier and longer than it did before. He pulled out Death Penalty and aimed it at Hojo's face. Cloud ran in along with all the others.

"Vincent" Cloud whispered, "Get Yuffie out of here we'll take care of him." Vincent ran over to Yuffie as the fight began. When he picked her up she was slightly lighter than before yet at the same time not. He picked her up and ran out of the room to Cid's ship.

Once he got Yuffie into the room that they shared he pulled off the blanket and what he saw caused him cry out in anger, shock, but most of all sorrow. His little love's body was covered in what looked like bite marks and on her right arm was a silver claw just like Vincent's.

He fell to the floor and cried out in anguish, he couldn't protect her. He looked up at her and held her human hand in his clawed hand and fell asleep by her side.
"Never, never again shall I leave you alone Yuffie, I'm sorry..." were his last thoughts before he fell into a deep and troubled sleep.
