"I can't believe they left us," I huffed.
"...They're going in a different direction," Vinnie pointed out quietly. I scowled at him.
"Well...they could've dropped us off! Cid's always banging on about that bloody airship! But instead we have to walk!" I ranted on. Stupid Cloud and his stupid logic! Who cares if it was more logical to split up and check the reactors?
Vince is staring at me. If you haven't guessed, I wasnot in the best of moods, so I glared at him.
"You've been complaining that you wanted a mission..." Vince pointed out. Wow Vince. Clever. That's gonna help my mood. I don't think he cares actually. My glare switches onto 'if looks could kill'.
"Yes, but not one where I have to walk all the way across the fricking country!" I resorted in shouting at him. He just carried on looking calm though so I muttered curses. At everyone. Reeve for sending us on this pointless mission, Cid for not taking us on his airship, Cloud and Tifa for getting to go on his airship and Vince for been so calm. I strode out of the house. If we were going to have to do this, then I wanted to get it over with. Well I didn't, but...Realisation dawned on me: My Chocobo was in the stables! I ran back to the house as fast as my awesome ninja-ness could take me.
"Vince! My chocobo's in the stable! We can double up and go on her!" I yelled at him-happily as it meant we wouldn't have to walk-as I proceeded to drag him out of the house. I let him go and started towards the stables.
"Yuffie," his low voice made me stop and turn. I looked at him, my eyes raised questioningly.
"...Chocobos don't... like me," my eyebrows rose further (if it were possible) and I inclined my head.
"Why not?" I threw my hands into the air, "You're awesome!" Insert embarrassed blush here. GAWD DAMN IT VINCE! STOP STARING AT ME LIKE THAT!
"...They do not react well to my demons..." he eventually says, after letting me suffer red cheeks and embarrassment. ME! THE GREAT NINJA YUFFIE KISARAGI! EMBARRASSED! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD? VINNIE MUST HAVE SOME KIND OF POWER! THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLAINATION! Unless...unless...NO! I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE: THERE IS NO WAY I LIKE VINCENT VALENTINE! NONONO!
I think I'm just gonna go jump of the nearest cliff right now. There is no way that I can like him! Nuh-Uh! Oh but if I jumped off of a cliff, I would die, and then at my funeral, Vincent would realise his undying love for me, and he'd want to avenge me but it would be his fault because he's so darn sexy, and so he'd just go lock himself in a coffin for gawd knows how many years and-
He's staring at me. AGAIN! Oh no! Its probably at my cheeks which have got even redder! He's probably wondering why the hell why! Speak Yuffie! SPEAK! No! Don't stare stupidly!
"Liberty trusts me. I trust you. Do the math," did I just tell Vinnie to do the math? MENTAL FACEPALM.
Vincent still didn't look happy. But Liberty and I have a strong bond. She'd be fine with him!
So when I went and fetched her, I did not expect her to dig her heels in the ground when I attempted to take her to Vinnie-wait! Do chocobos even have heels? There BIRDS. BIRDS don't have HEELS. HEY! Jeez, it's only a figure of speech. Right? GETTING OFF THE POINT HERE!
Sheesh, I really need to stop talking to myself mentally like that!
ANYWAY, she stopped. So did I.
"Oh, come on," I verbalised pointing towards Vinnie. She rolled her eyes in a scared manner.
"Hey missy! This is not the time to get an attitude with me!" I tried to drag her. And Failed. I huffed at her.
"FINE!" then turned round to Vince.
"Hey! Come over here!" I motioned to him with my hand.
"...Yuffie, I don't think this is a good idea..."
"Sure as hell it is! Now get your ass over here!" he did as I said, but when he got within a couple of meters, Liberty started warking madly, rolling her eyes, and backing up.
"Hey hey HEY!" I yelled at the crazy Chocobo, "What's your problem you stupid bird? Huh?"
"...Yuffie, leave her be. She has every right to act this way..." Vince murmured, backing away. I DISAGREE. THIS IS A BATTLE THAT NEEDS TO BE WON. AND YUFFIE KISARGI ALWAYS WINS. REST ASSURED!
"VINCENT VALENTINE, DON'T YOU DARE START ANGSTING ON ME, BECAUSE I WILL GIVE YOU ANGSTING WHEN YOU'RE ANGSTING OVER YOUR SORE BUTT LATER ON, WHICH, FOR THE RESULT OF YOUR ANGSTING NOW, HAD MY SHRUIKEN SHOVED UP!" I practically screamed this. No, scratch that, I did scream this. It made Liberty pause anyway. I took advantage, and grabbed her more firmly.
"Stupid, dumb, ridiculous, brainless bird! What the hell are you smoking? Why are you being so scared of Vinnie? Ok, when he's flapping around as that crazy ass demon Chaos, which he can't now, then you can be scared, and maybe you should run but he's not so you react like this! Yes, I know he looks like a creepy vampire, and that what I thought when I first met him but he's not so quit acting like Sephiroth is trying to kill you with his ridiculously long sword! Okay?" I thought we had things sorted, but I shifted to the side a little and she threw up her head again, flapping her wings.
"#(&^"£/ BIRD! I SWEAR TO &*£!#%(*) LEVIATHIEN! ^&*!£" YOU!" My cusses were heard in the lifestream. THAT GAWD DAMN BIRD THOUGH! I MEAN SERIOUSLY, HOW CAN A FLUFFY FEATHERED CREATURE BE SCARED OF A MAN WHO WAS CRINGING AT MY LANGUAGE?
" *%£^(!" I sat down. I was going to think of a solution, or I would end up murdering the bloody bird.
"...Yuffie-"
"BE %^!&*(£ QUIET VALENTINE!" I yelled. I stood back up, glaring at Liberty.
"Get your ass over here. NOW," I directed this at Vince.
"But Yuffie-"
"GET YOUR #£!^/& ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW! I'M LOSING THE !$%*#/ WILL TO ^&*)$%#/ LIVE!" STUPID VAMPIRE! HE MUST KNOW BY NOW THAT YOU DO NOT ARGUE WITH YUFFIE KISARAGI, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE IS CUSSING AND MAD!
He came over to me. Liberty went crazy of course but I held her, and after a long time she refrained to just rolling her eyes. We both (me and Vincent, not me and Liberty) knew there was no way she was going to let Vince touch her though.
"Vinnie," I was calmer now, "Put your hand on mine and follow my movements,"
"..?." STUPID VINNIE AND HIS STUPID OH-NO-MY-PRECIOUS-LUCRECIA-IS-DEAD-AND-ITS-MY-FAULT-SO-I-CAN'T-EVEN-ACCIDENTALLY-BRUSH-ARMS-WITH-ANOTHER-FEMALE-NOW!
"JUST DO IT OR FACE THE WRATH OF A SOUVIRLY PISSED OFF NINJA!" I screeched. I would end up murdering him and the bird soon! Gawd damn it, why did he have to disagree, or question or try to argue with me? WHY?
He complied though.
ANYWAY, he put his gloved hand on top of my outstretched one, so both of our palms were facing down. I put my hand on Liberty, and hence, Vincent's to. I started to stroke Liberty, and Vinnie seemed to catch on, as his hand stayed on mine, and 'stroked' her to. She stiffened at first, but after awhile, it payed off, and she started to relax. A few minutes later, I slipped my hand out from underneath Vincent's, so it was just him stroking her. Liberty merely closed her eyes blissfully, and lowered her head. Vince turned, still stroking her, to look at a grinning me.
"Ha-ha! We did it! Told you! I am officially awesome! Well, I was always awesome, and always will be but my awesome plan worked..." I continued to boast and blabber and Vince looked kinda happy to. Well, as far as a 'looking happy' Vince goes but you get the point. We know now that Chocobos are nothing compared to our awesomeness, and that those giant birds are not scared at Vince. Just maybe at first. So Vinnie has no reason to go all angsty!
He boosted me on, and then swung up behind me. Liberty was as good as gold, and started off. I grabbed the reins and Vince put his hands on my waist so he wouldn't fall off. I doubt Vince would fall off , but who can blame him for wanting to hold onto my sexy waist? And you won't hear me complaining. For having to have his hand on mine for the feathery problem or holding onto my waist! Any time Vince! Any time!
AGHH! First of all, that doesn't sound right, and second of all why am I thinking, or feeling those kind of thoughts? We established earlier that I do NOT like Vince! Because there is no possible way that could happen! Not when I first saw him coming out of that coffin all dark and sexy, not all the time we were together during the meteor incident, not when I saved him back in ShinRa manor and was terrified that he was going to die from that huge hole in his chest, not when we were on all those missions Reeve sent us on together because we work well together, not when he saved me from that terrifying darkness, not when I was worrying my ass off about him when he disappeared after Omega and Chaos returned to the planet ...hang on, why did I worry about him so much when he was injured and when his disappeared?
Thoughts be gone damn it! Concentrate of staying on the Chocobo and steering! Not that I need to steer. Liberty knows where she's going just fine! You know what? I felt a little sleepy...riding Chocobo's does make me sleepy...
Vince probably realised this because his arms moved from my waist, to either side of my waist, and took the reins. My head fell back against his chest, and his arms tightened around me.
"Thank you Yuffie," he murmured.
"S'okay Vince. Any time..." I mumbled back, drifting off to sleep.

Come to think of it, I seem to be asleep in Vince's presence quite alot...
there we go! i hope you liked it! i apologise for any typos and stuff. you know, spelling errors and what not!
I know chocobos aren't really scared of Vincent, I should say his demons, but that was the only way I could make this work! Also, I apologise for the chocobo in this for acting like a horse, but I have lots experience with horses but none with chocobos.
Please review!
25/05/2010 Comments: Urgh. I cringed at this chapter as well. My style was really...well it was just bad. Well, it seemed worse in this chapter anyway, but again, i'm making it sound worse than it is as i partially re-wrote/majorly edited this chapter. Luckily the way in which I write improves in the next chapter/chapter after that, when the style I write in now came to me. As I said in my comments on the last chapter, I will probably rewrite this after I finish this story, as I really feel these two first chapters are...well they're just don't seem to flow so well. Well they flow better now i've edited them.
In this chapter, I mention Vincent's demons. The demons I mean though are just Galian beast, Death Gigas and Hell masker, not Chaos because he returned to the planet with Omeaga, and this is set two years after all of that. When I wrote these first few chapters, I wasn't sure where I was going with this story. Now I am sure, I realise I don't really want them there, as this story is about Vincent getting over the his past and all that jazz...i don't want to say much more as i'll ruin the totally guessable storyline. Anyway, I should have mentioned them returning to the planet as well or something, but then the point of this chapter wouldn't work and I can't bring myself to remove this chapter: I like the theme, so I have 3 options. Anyone reading this, go vote on the poll on my profile.
This isn't drastically going to effect the story, but I have an idea for a future fanfic, for after this story (if ever finish it. I need to update the next chapter already for the love of all things good!) which will not be in the near future, and it will play a big part in that, if the demons can 'talk'. Can you guess what this idea is? Anyways, please go vote!
