Short of BlissChapter 2:
The Catch
Yuffie and Vincent continued along the Chocobo tracks that coated the Mideel landscape, they walked at a steady pace waiting for a Chocobo to appear in their vision. Vincent did have a Chocobo Lure equipped; chocobos should be attracted to the area they were at but still there was not a sign of a single Chocobo.
Jezz, we have been walking around for over an hour and still no stupid chocobos and all we've been getting is fiends, Ahhhh what the Hell!!! Yuffie cursed in her mind how totally ridiculous this Chocobo hunting was, she was tired, bored, and not to mention freaken hungry. If they did catch a Chocobo she would probably roast and eat the giant chicken even before they could bring it back to the Highwind. Dumb Chocobo would deserve it for making her suffer like this.
"Can we like rest or something because I need to before I lose it?" Yuffie stated slouching over with her hands dangling as she walked.
Vincent sighed, she was right they could use the rest they had been walking and fighting all day, a break would do the two good before they continued with the hunt.
"Very well then." Vincent replied
Vincent looked about searching the scattered trees that grew within the plains. He spotted a fairly large tree or the largest he could find anyhow and motioned Yuffie toward the direction of the large tree. Yuffie taking in what he meant began to walk over to tree once there she plopped down at the foot of the tree resting her back along the bulky trunk, Vincent quietly fallowed.
"Wuahhhhhhhhh, I'm beat I could use a nap." Yuffie announced stretching her arms up over her head and yawning she was really tired.
"You can rest if you like I'll stand guard." Vincent stated glancing at Yuffie with assurance.
"Uhhh?!?" Yuffie face began to turn as red as Vincent's cold eyes. Yuffie looked down at the ground hoping he didn't notice her nervousness, it wasn't that she didn't trust him or did she? She knew she could trust him for watching over her while she slept so fiends wouldn't attack her of course but could she trust him in a different way? He freaked her out no doubt about that; she could feel comfortable around him while fighting or hunting chocobos as long as she was awake then no problem. She didn't know this man she didn't know anything about his past, for all she knew he could be a psychopathic murderer or something he could like do things to her in her sleep.
"Uhhhh, freaky!!!" Yuffie shivered just thinking about it. "Oh Yuffieget a hold of yourself!!!"
" Hey." Vincent voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Ah Whaa?"
"Are you ok with that? If you're tired you should rest."
"Oh, oh I'm ok I'll just sit here, yeah I'll just… sit here…" Yuffie said reassuring herself of her decision.
"Hmm ok." Vincent replied shrugging his shoulders and looking around the area at nothing in particular with an unpleasant look on his face.
"What the hell why does he seem so disappointed? Yuffie thought to herself while trying to get herself more comfortable. "Psychooo."

Minutes went by neither of them spoke to one another, there was nothing but silence. Yuffie as hard as she tried, tried to keep her little eyelids open but they kept fluttering down, she was just too tired to stay awake, "Gawd stay awake, stay awake, stay awwww…" soon she was fast asleep.
Vincent noticing her sudden change of posture realized that she was completely out. It was getting a bit chilly do to the afternoon breeze and she would surly freeze if she didn't have anything to keep her warm. Vincent sighed knowing that the breeze would most likely awake her peaceful slumber; he took off his tampered red cape and gave it to her to keep warm. As Vincent knelt down beside her to cover her up he suddenly stopped, his eyes slowly began to ran up and down Yuffie's small frame starting from her dark brown locks to tips of her toes, she was stunning. Vincent eyes ran up her long legs, over her flat stomach, and round breasts. How long had it been since he had been with a women? Over 30 years that's for sure, was it really that long? Vincent's male nature began to take its toll on his body urging him to look more, to look, smell, taste, and touch. Vincent's breathing began to quicken along with his heart and senses, Vincent's eyes rolled back, his eyelids slowly closed as he breathed in her scent, such a sweet smell too; the smell of jasmine and lavender, the smell of freedom, laughter, and happiness, the smell of innocence. Vincent's eyes suddenly shot open, his breath stopped completely, he scampered away from her small figure a good couple feet, he regained his breathing.
"Wha? What are you doing?" Vincent asked himself, "What do you think you are doing? She is only a child, an infant, an innocent young lady! An innocent, an innocent, innocent… Innocent? Is that that why you like her so much? Because she is innocent? No that's isn't it.
Vincent closed is crimson eyes and cradled his head in his hand and claw. Could he really be attracted to her because she was innocent? Yuffie innocent, unlikely but compared to him she was pure, uncorrupted. Most she has ever sinned is stealing materia from travelers that crossed her path, something every child has done once in their lifetime, a low felony. But he, he has done so much…so much sinning in his life time, killing, cheating, coveting, all in with it is sinning. Maybe he was attracted to her because of her youth; youth does usually equal innocence. He was attracted to her for some reason…it couldn't be because she was a woman, because he hasn't seen or been near one for so long and if that were the case he would be attracted to Tifa also. What was it? He didn't love her; he only loved one woman in his life that would have been Lucrecia. No, not love…lust? It could be lust but then he would be attracted to Tifa if that were the case, no no not lust or could it be? Could he lust for her in a different way? But what way could he? Vincent's head was spinning in a spiral of confusion and understanding, if lust were the case then what could he do to prevent himself from sinning again?
"Well you've sinned enough another wouldn't hurt you!" Vincent'smind suggested, "No I can't sin anymore, if I sin I will pay for it."
"But you already are paying for your sins no point in trying to make up for it now." His inner demons argued, "Besides didn't it feel good?"
"Good? What felt good?" Vincent asked back.
"Huh, you surprise me Valentine remember when you where a Turk? When you did all those things, didn't they make you feel good?" His demons answered back, "They did didn't they? All that work you did as a Turk all the FUN you had, you enjoyed it and don't deny it; you and I both know you didn't become a Turk for the pay or benefits you became a Turk because you loved the life style admit it."
"But I…I've changed! I don't like sinning anymore, I don't like hurting people, I have changed I have!" Vincent argued back, "I have changed haven't I?"
"Ha ha ha you and I both know you really haven'! You say you have but…you haven't you're still the same man you were 30 years ago! Come on don't be such a chump do yourself a favor and do this one little thing, come we both know you want to."
Vincent raised his head and looked out toward the distance, "If I do then, then I will sin I will remember this, she will remember this…it will be stuck with her for the rest of her life and mine for eternity."
"So! You always think about others needs before yourself ever since you were young you could never think about your needs but others, you have never done anything for yourself. Well now is the time for you to do something for yourself think of it as a present to you, a little something to make you happy. You do want to be happy don't you? Like you were when you were a Turk come on, be happy, and be happy like you were, like you used to be." Vincent's inner-demons preached, "This one little thing."
Vincent kept looking out toward the distance, he squinted his eyes and blinked a few times as if thinking about making a tough decision, "…Alright, alright maybe I will do something just for me." A small grin swept across Vincent's face and his crimson eyes glowed.

"Hey, I'm awake…are you ok or something?" Yuffie said just waking up and looking at Vincent as he starred off into space.
"Huh, oh I'm fine just thinking, and you are you feeling better after your nap?" Vincent asked coyly.
"Uhhh, yeah." Yuffie answered hesitantly, "What's his problem, why is he acting so…different."
As the day progressed they continued wandering around the area searching for Chocobos, they eventually caught a Chocobo a "Great" one to be more specific, they caught themselves a Chocobo and for now called it a day.
Vincent called Cloud on the PHS to come and pick them up, "Hello its me Vincent we have a Chocobo and we are ready to board the Highwind…yes it is a "Great" Chocobo…yes…ok…see you in 10 minutes."
"So is he coming?" asked Yuffie.
"In 10 minutes, right now we wait." Vincent answered.
"Oh…hey can I hold the Chocobo Lure materia next time? I want to hold it so Chocobos can be attracted to me they're sooo cute." Yuffie asked rubbing the Chocobos nose as it wakked.
"Why should I? You probably just want it because it is materia and that is all you ever think about." Vincent stated.
"Oh please I wont steal it I'll give it back honest please!"
Vincent's eyes lit up with opportunity, "Then if I give you the materia you have to give me something in return it's only fair."
"…Ok then I'll give you…"
"You don't have to give me anything now you can wait a little." Vincent interrupted.
"Alright!!!" Yuffie screamed, "I get more materia hee-hee!"
As Vincent handed Yuffie the Chocobo Lure materia the Highwind showed up ready to pick them up from the long day of Chocobo hunting, they both boarded the Highwind along with the Chocobo they caught.
