Couple hours later Yuffie's eyes flutter open as she sees a blurry orange moving figure. When her eye sight returned to her she noticed that it was a fire then sees the four pups sleeping around it. She looked around and noticed she was in a cave but then she noticed something red around her. She felt the material but then noticed that it had Vincent's sent on it. It was Vincent's Cloak around her. She looked around but he was no where to be seen then she caughs violently.

Meanwhile Vincent was getting some more firewood till he heard her caughing and walks into the cave. He peeks in and sees her still laying down but shivering violently as she caughs again. He leans aguinced the entrence of the cave. "You've gotta quit running away like this especually in those clothes you ware...One of these days none of us will be able to find you" He said. He walks over to her and puts some more wood into the fire.

Yuffie turns her head away from the fire as tears start to form in her eyes. "Why do you fallow me every time I do run away" She said.

He looks at her then smiles worriedly at her then lifts her up and leans her aguinced his side and wraps his arm around her left sholder to right side. "Be cause I worry that you might get hurt or catch nemonia" He said in a worried but quiet tone.

"Believe me I already have Nemonia but I don't care...I don't care about anything anymore" She said sadly as she looked down.

"You care about the pups don't you" He said as he looked down at her.

"I said anyTHING not anyONE I still care for everyone I'm just mad at them right now" She said.

"As far as I can see you're only mad at Zack for what he said" He said.

"You mean you-you heard what he said" She said as she looked at him.

"And every word you said as well...Zack shouldnt've said that he knew that it would upset you" He said.

She looks at him in surprisement. 'How would he know' She thought. She looked back down in sadness. "You know that what Zack said is true y'know"

He looks at her then smiles. "Actually...it's not true and it never was...Lucrecia was a dear friend of mine but I never liked her like that" He said as he tightend his grip on her.

"But you two belonged together" Yuffie said.

"As I said I never liked her like that" He said as he picked her up again and set her down on his lap. He looked at her and smiled. "It's you that I like Yuffie" He said sweetly.

She blushed madly as her eyes widened then sees a little peice of Chaos's wing beond the entrence of the cave. She looks down at his arm as tears form in her eyes. She hugs his arm tightly hiding her eyes on his lether sleeve. "So now you know...About my true feelings" She said.

Outside the cave Chaos smirked. So his host had the courage to tell the girl how he felt after all. He had just found where they were and had just over heard their conversation and for a strange reason he felt proud. Chaos frowned at the girl who was acting foolish. He did not want his host's mate dieing on him from pneumonia. His host would be heart broken and would go into a depression and Chaos did not approve. He had his prediction for the next year and if all went the way he presumed it to be he surly would enjoy his host's displeasure of it all. He decides to let them keep their moment for a few minutes longer then he walks into the cave. "Touching really my host but we should depart from here the others are surely worrying over you and the girl, and it would be best to leave soon there are rogue animals out here that would most likely attack" He exclaimed. He then looked at Yuffie with a calculating look. "You are very i'll...running off like that was foolish of you" He walks over to yuffie and brings out a small sweater he had hidden and was about to put it around her sholder but Vincent stops him.

"That won't be necissary Chaos" He said as he took off his cloak and wrapped it around her then helps her stand.

Chaos looks at him then at Yuffie. "You are strong...I respect that" He said to her. He looked at Vincent. "We shold be leaving now"

"Alright" He said. He Looks at the pups as they were starting to wake up and wag their tails then picks up Yuffie bridal style. "Alright kids climb on your mother's chest I can't carry her in one arm and all four of you in the other" He said as all four pups climbed on Yuffie's chest and he stands up once when all four were wrapped in Yuffie's arms.

When Vincent reached the 'Seventh Heaven' bar he remembered that Yuffie had escaped through her window and had locked her door so he gently put her and the pups on her bed through her window then starts to walk away.

"Where are you goin" She asked quietly.

"I'm gonna go in though the front I didn't tell them that you snuck out again Now lay down and rest I'll bring you some Medicine and some food in a little bit" He said.

"Alright" Yuffie said as she nodded her head.

"And hey...Don't let whatever Zack says get to you like that alright...I don't want you running away again...I was worried about you when I found out that you ran away" Vincent said as he smiled.

"There will be times where I will run away into my room like last time" She said.

"Just odn't lock your door and sneek out from now on Promise" He asked.

"I promise...Now you've gotta think of what to say to the others about Running off like you did" She explained.

"I think I have something in my mind I'll be back soon" He said as he walked towards and into the door to 'Seventh Heaven'.

Everyone looked at the door as he walked through. "What the hell Vince Where were you" Zack asked as they looked at him.

"I thought I sensed something dangerous out there so I took a looked around the city but it was just my imagination" He lied. Seconds later he hears Yuffie's bedroom door unlock.

Chaos had picked up shay bridle style and walked her up the stairs and put her to bed in one of the empty rooms. He gently covered her with the blankets and kissed her of the forehead. As soon as they had returned he had a couple of things to be taken care of the first had already been completed the second was to give that black spiky haired kid a good convincing to appologise to his hosts mate. Chaos might not look like he did but he secretly considered shay, vincent, and now yuffie as family. Chaos grinned he hoped that his 'convincing' with zack would be a great one. He was now extremely very quiet walking down the hallway looking for Zack he overheard his exhost and he smirked when he realized Zack was talking. he was getting ready to puch Zack up aguinced the wall but he notices Vincent look up and then he too hears Yuffie's door unlock.

"Are you sure cause if you did sense something then You woulda ran right out the door without the pups" Zack said.

"You'd better be careful around Chaos Judging by the way he acted on what you said to Yuffie he isn't too happy And neither am I and I don't have as much control on him as I used to when we used to be one so Watch your back" He said ignoring Zack's comment.

"What I was only kidding around I always Tease her" He said.

"Maybe so but you went too far that time" Vincent said as he glared at him with anger in his crimson eyes.

"How can you-...Wait a minute do you...SERIOUSLY...I never thought you'd actually cared for her THAT much Vince" Zack said.

"That is why Chaos always called her my 'mate'" He said.

"So...Do you seriously like her THAT Much" Tifa asked.

Vincent didn't answer as he heard caughing and he begins to worry. "I should give her some medicine for that caugh of hers" He said.

"Don't avoid my question Vincent Valentine" Tifa said beginning to get angery.

Vincent looked at her then at everyone else then sighed. "I don't like her in the way that you are thinking...But I do love her" He said as he turned around and went into the kitchen .

Yuffie listened to the conversation from beond her door then her eyes widen then smiles at what Vincent had just said.

"Soo you want to settle down and raise a family with her right...But Vincent she is way too young" Tifa said.

"I don't love her like that Tifa...At least...I don't think I do" Vincent said confusingly.

"Have you told her your feelings yet" Zack asked.

Vincent looks down and thinks to himself. 'I guess I haven't told her that I love her even after what I had heard from her lips erlier'

"You should Right now she may be asleep but I have a feeling that you are te ONLY one who can talk to her in the state she's in" Tifa said.

Chaos grins just as he thought he IS enjoying his hosts discomfort of his friends's questions. Chaos lets loose a chuckle as he slowly walks around the corner surprising everyone. He glared as Zack meanly. "You have a right of fearing me for I am not fond of you." He said. he looks towards Yuffie's room listening closely and smirks to himself as he hears her retreating back to her bed but frowns as she starts coughing. " The girl is getting worse i will not have her dieing call someone for medical attention"

"I'll call a doctor" Cloud said as he got up to get a phone.

Chaos nodded his head in aknoledgement then looks at Vincent. "Go to her and give her the medication now I do not want to have my exhost all depressed and a man withering on the streets do what I tell you go to your mate" He said.

"Fine" Vincent said as he grabbed the medicine he needed from the cabnet. He then hears Cloud calling for the doctor. "But let me deal with Zack Later You can take him on when I'm Finished with him"

Zack gulped with fear as he starts to tremble thinkin about what Vicnent might do to him.

"Can I have a Whack at him after Chaos Vincent" Tifa asked.

"No" He said.

"Why not" She asked.

"Because you are not a part of this situation" He said before heading into their room.

"Neither is Chaos" She mumbled as she crossed her arms.

Chaos grins at the mental image of him torturing zack. Him getting the fighter to beg on his knees to stop. Then he turns to Tifa and growls. "Dont be jumping to conclusions, this also has to deal with me my exhost and I are still connected His mate is foolish and with my exhost's and I's bond i feel it is fair that I protect her as well" He said angerly. Chaos was angry his hosts mate was very I'll which was all ready worrying him and now he has to deal with Zack and Tifa.

"Chaos Leave her be We don't want to be worrying Cloud now would we" Vincent said as he looked at Chaos.

"Oh yeah that's right Tifa has special feelings for Cloud doesn't she" Zack said. 'Too bad Cloud's too stupid to realize it' He thought.

"SHUT UP ZACK" Tifa said angerly as she blushed madly.

"What about you and Aeris I've been seeing you eyeing her quite a lot over these past few months" Vincent said.

"Uh I uh Well...T-That's none of your concern you don't need to know about our love lives anyway cause you have your own to deal with" Zack said as he blushed.

"You're an idiot Zack" He said as he sighed then prepares to make the Soup for Yuffie.

"What are you doing" He asks.

"Making Yuffie something to eat She hasn't eaten in a couple of days because of her illness Hopefully she can hold it down" Vincent said.

"That's so sweet of you Vincent As of right now you're probibly the only one she can talk to" Tifa said.

"You and Aeris as well Sometimes she needs some girl time with you two" Vincent said.

Chaos glances at vincent and growls to himself then laughs. "So the boy has a mate now doesn't he as well as the female fighter" He said as he looks at Zack smiling while showing his fangs.

"I'm so sorry If I only knew she needed us I would've made time to hang out with her Now I feel horrible for Neglecting her" Aeris said Sadly.

"As do I" Tifa said as she looked down in sadness.

"I wouldn't nesicarally go that far Chaos More like he has a crush on her but knowing you You probibly can sense it just as much I can since I have the other three demons inside me" Vincent said.

"A-a-a-aeris H-h-h-h-hiiii" Zack struggled to say when he heard Aeris's voice.

"You do realize that both Aeris and Cloud are in the same room with us" Vincent said.

"Since when" Zack said.

"They've always been here" Vincent said.

"OH SHIT Does that mean that they heard what we said DAMMIT" Tifa said as she started blushing but tried to hide it.

"I'm not sure if Cloud heard anything cause he's on the phone with the doctor as for Aeris...Good luck Zack" Vincent said.

"W-why hello there Zack how's it going" Aeris said. She looked down Sheepishly. "Di-did you mean what you said before...about liking me"

Chaos was watching from around the corner laughing to himself and wondering if this embarassing situation between them could get any better.

"well I uh you see I uhh...Y-Yeah...I meant every word of it" He said as he looks down blushing with embarassment.

"One couple down one to go" Vincent said to himself.

"Don't you mean Two down one to go" Zack said.

"...Cloud may be on the phone but I'm not sure if he overheard anything or not" Vincent said.

"Dammit" Tifa said to herself as she blushed madly.

"Don't worry Tiffa If I know him well enaugh he might not show it but I think that he just MIGHT like you at least a little" Vincent said as he took Yuffie's soup and Medicine with him on a tray.

"Don't do anything to her Vince" Zack teased.

"...Okay Chaos I give you permission to teach him a thing or two" He said just before he knocked on Yuffie's Door and opening it when he heard it was alright for him to enter their room. "I braught you something to eat and some medicine Yuffie"

"I'm not hungry" he heard Yuffie said. Just then her stumich started growling.

He smirked. "That's not what your Stumich says Yuff You haven't eaten in a couple of days so you must be starving by now...Will you eat it for me" He said.

"Fiine" She said as she began to eat the soup. She then hears the four pups barking. "I guess their hungry as well"

"Don't worry I braught them something to eat too" he said as he gives the four pups some meat in bowls.

"I'm wondering on what I should do with them I mean I can't just let them loose back into the wild they'll die within a matter of days They can't survive on their own plus they have my sent on them so no other mother wolf would want to take them in and they don't have enaugh experiance to-" She started to say before she was interupted.

"We are going to raise them ourselves who knows maybe they might be good watch wolves when they grow up" Vincent said.

"But Vinny they're my responcabillity" She said.

"You'll need help on raising them you can't handle all four of them on your own and when they get older we'll need to have a vet come here and give them shots and things like that" He said as he shuttered at the word Vet.

"Does that mean I can keep them" She asked anxiously with stars in her eyes.

"It would have to be up to Cloud since he's the leader of AVALANCHE now" He said.

"Can we at least name them" She asked.

"They've already been named Yuffie" He said.

"All four of them" She asked.

"All four of them" He repeated.

"Aw man I wanted to name them" She said.

"The kids named the black and white ones the same names you would've thought of for them as for the grey one Silver is her name and Little Chaos is the Black and red one" Vincent said.

"So what's the name of the black and white ones" Yuffie asked.

"Denzel named the black one after my gun Cerberus while Marlene named the white one Yuki since she blends into the snow so well" Vincent said.

"Your right I definately would have thought of those exact same names for those exact same pups and it's about time Denzel and Marlene started being a part of our conversations" Yuffie said.

"It won't be all the time but in some cases they will be" He said.

Chaos looks at a frightened Zack and Let's loose a menacing growl and started to walk towards him. "Since my host was so nice to give me permission on having my way with you " He said as he starts laughing. "lets just say if you live tonight the life-stream is looking out for you" He gets into a pouncing pose and lets out a rawr and goes after him then pushes Zack agenst the wall and punched him in the head knocking him out. He really had a feeling that this boy was going to be a problem in the future but until then he smirks. He would just have to put Zack back in his place. Chaos felt like he needed to check on his host and his... mate. He leans agenst the wall and over hears Yuffie's comment and smirks to himself. He does have a reputation to keep.

"You should take your medicine and get some rest Yuffie before the Doctor comes" Vincent said again Shuttering at the word Doctor.

" I know I won't like it but I'll take it for you Vinny" She said as she takes the medicine. "YUCK this stuff is NASTY" She said after she swallows it.

"Get some rest The boys will be with me if your ever looking for them...And don't run away this time alright If there's anything bothering you You can always come talk to me about it" He said.

"Even if it's a Girl thing" She asked.

"Yes even if it's a girl thing...if I'm not around then Talk to Aeris or Tifa alright" He said.

"Alright and I promise I will never run away again" She said.

"Good" He said just before he shut the door behind him fallowed by Cerberus and Little Chaos. He looks down at the pups infront of him sitting down with their tails wagging happily and smirks the picks them up. "I can see why Yuffie wants to help you pups.

"It's cause they're cute right" Tifa said.

"Something like that" Vincent said.

"I overheard what Yuffie wanted to name the pups and it seems that her, Denzel and Marlene were thinking the exact same thing" She said.

"I figured she and the kids had the same Idea of what to name them" He said. An hour later they heard a Knock at their door.

"That's gotta be the Doctor" Cloud said as he walked towards the door.

Just then Zack woke up from being knocked out by Chaos. "Yikes what the hell happened to me and Sheeeesh why does my head hurt so damn much" He said just before he looked at Aeris. "Well hello there pretty doll" He said Seductively.

"That's not like Zack to call someone 'Pretty doll'" Tifa said in confusement.

"Hey there baby cakes" he said as he looked at Tifa. Cloud glanced at Zack as he called Tifa baby cakes feeling jelousy rise in his bones.

"Or baby cakes" Tifa said Disqustedly.

"Chaos how hard did you hit him" He said as he looked at his Demon friend. Then he hears Yuffie coming out of her room and running tward the bathroom with her hand over her mouth. He looks at her worriedly as she runs into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her. "Poor Yuffie I hate seeing her in this condition"

Chaos stares at Zack trying so hard not to burst out laughing. Looks like the lifestream did watch over him after all. The idiot was delusional. "Just enough to make him learn to watch his mouth" He said as he smirked. He looks towards Zacks head. "If I truly wished his head wouldn't be on his shoulders I hit him hard true but apparently he now has a concussion" he turns to the bathroom door and his eyes soften. "My host you might want to check on her" He said.

"Alright...Where's Little Chaos" He asked as he looked around only seeing Cerberus becide him.

Little Chaos was behind the bar table looking at his own reflection on a trashcan in a pouncing position then headbutts his reflection As Cloud and Tifa watches him closely. Cerberus looks at his brother in a "Dude what the hell are you doing" way. Chaos Smells some kind of meat in the trash and jumps on the rim knocking the trashcan over with a loud metal thud.

Tifa giggles as she watched the two brother pups. "Found im" She said.

Vincent sighs then walks over to Chaos picking him and the trashcan up putting the trash back in the trashcan. "So this is why she calls you the touble maker" He said. He then hears the bathroom door open and Yuffie comes into the room with a panicked and worried look on her face.
