Sorry its taken me so long to upload this, I've been mega busy. _
Not to mention I had to re-write this since my laptop crashed and destroyed everything -.- ANYWAY, Enjoy.
After picking up his usual items of milk and bread, Vincent walked to the snacks isle and put some cheese and onion crisps, a chicken tikka masala baguette, two chocolate bars and a box of small chocolate chip cookies into the basket and headed to the checkout.
He wasn't exactly sure what Yuffie ate, but seeing as she looked like she hadn't eaten for a while; it didn't seem like a thing she would care too much about.
After placing everything at the checkout, paying for them, putting them into a bag and heading outside, he looked over at where Yuffie had been sat before. She wasn't there, yet her belongings remained in the same place.
He gazed around in confusion then saw a small crowed of people along with a police car. Vincent walked over and headed through the commotion, taking a quick glance at a young girl with a bloody scratch across her cheek, red burning eyes that had been sprayed with pepper spray and her arms held tight by two police officers. The girl was Yuffie.
Recognising one of the officers, he looked at them with a frown and stepped forward.
"What seems to be the problem here?" He asked, folding his across his chest and watching with interest.
"Afternoon Mr. Valentine. This little thief was caught stealing for a store."
"I was not stealing! I was j-" Yuffie began to protest before another officer kneed her in the stomach leaving her to hunch of in agony by the impact.
"Shut up you little tramp." He spat.
"There's absolutely no need for that. You know as well as I that unless she attacks, you don't harm her."
"Sir..?" An officer looked up at him, slowly releasing some grip on Yuffie's limb. Vincent had always been a good person in the town and once helped out in the police force. He was fairly superior to the other officers and knew exactly what he was talking about. The audience watching with interest had been shunned away by fellow officers and began to go about their business again.
Vincent crouched down slightly to get a better look at Yuffie and raised an eyebrow.
"What did you do for this to happen, miss?" He asked pretending to not know who she was. In a way, he would be risking his reputation if others knew he had sat with a homeless person. Though he had always been charitable, sitting with homeless would be another new level of low for him.
"I didn't do anything! I was sat there then some lunatic came over and tried to steal my money so I shouted at him to give it back! He didn't then he grabbed my arm and pulled it towards him so it looked like I was attacking him and started screaming for the police. Then these weirdo's came over and hurt me!" She whined, her eyes clenched shut from the sting of the spray.
Vincent raised an eyebrow and looked to the wary police officer holding one of her arms. The officer frowned slightly and nodded nervously.
"S-She's a danger to the public, sir." He said pulling the girl up a bit.
"And you're an embarrassment to the armed forces… I'll take over."
"But we ca-"
"I WILL take over from here."
".. Yes sir." The officer nodded letting go of the girl, leaving her to drop to her knees with a wince then look up at her savior. The officers slowly trailed back to their car keeping their heads down in shame and drove off.
Once the crowds had dispersed, Vincent leaned down to Yuffie and shook his head.
"What have you gotten yourself into, hm..?" He asked, staring into her eyes with a displeasing expression. Yuffie looked down angrily and got to her feet, rubbing her eyes again. "Go on, go grab your things. I'm not having you cause any more trouble in this town." Vincent began, heading away from the girl.
"Excuse me? What for?" She protested, staying exactly where she was.
"You're coming home with me, I have a spare room. I'm not allowing you to torment these people."
"TORMENT!?" Vincent walked over and grabbed her arm, pulling her to his side then quietly muttered in her ear.
"Just play along." He scowled slightly before pushing her to make him seem very superior to her and that he owned her now. Yuffie rolled her eyes and mumbled a few curses under her breath before gathering her belongings and following him.
