WOOHOO second chapters up… not that anyone cares (sniffle) as I got all of 0 reviews in my last update. Ah well there's always tomorrow. Hope you like it. Oh and before I forget, I do not own anything other than Kiya and other added characters, storylines etc.
Kiya's POV
The members of AVALANCE are already here, waiting for Cid to arrive. I have been part of their gang for a year now but I feel as though I've known them forever. Each member, with their unique and heartbreaking pasts, with my own I fit right into their dysfunctional family.
"When did Cid say he was getting here" Yuffie wined "I'm sick of waiting and these heels you made me wear are killing me"
"I guess he just wants to be fashionably late" I laughed
I could hear a faint rumble in the air, which suggested that Cid's airship 'Shera' wasn't too far away.
"Okay you guys, get ready and…" I looked around to see not everyone was there "and I'll go find Vincent" The group agreed and walked up to the now landing airship.
I picked up my mobile and dialled Vincent's number.
One ring…..
Two rings…
Three rings…
Four rings…..
"Damn" I inwardly cursed; what was the point in having a mobile if he didn't answer it. Turning the corner I found Vincent leaning against a wall, in his normal position.
"Vincent!" No answer "HEY VINCENT" I called even louder. He raised his head and glared at me. What on earth have I done now? I guess he isn't pleased with the current situation.
"Come on Cid's here" I continued before turning around and walking to the airship; with Vincent not far behind.
"Okay you free riders lets rock 'n 'roll" cid shouted as he started the engines up again. I've got to be honest I'm not sure if Vincent knows there is a party tonight. I mean come on, it's hard enough getting us all in the same room for a get together, and this seamed a perfect excuse to have one.
I excused myself from the others as I went to a room so I could change. After I had done so I looked in the mirror and twirled around a few times. My dress was tighter fitting than the usual but the way it flowed and spun slightly reminded me of how I used to dance on the streets as a gypsy. I know it wasn't the best life but I enjoyed it, and my dancing and singing has always been something that people have enjoyed.
I slipped on my 2 inch high heels, which boosted me to 5 foot 7, rather than my usual 5 foot 5. My hair was loose and curling down my back and shoulders, ending at the small of my back. I'm naturally tanned, of that I am glad and my hair has always been long and black. Hey who says blondes have all the fun!
Vincent's POV
I was in the corner leaning against the nearest wall; music had started to play about 15 minutes or so ago, which made me realise this was going to be more than a short quiet conversation.
"What's up Vinne" Yuffie had crept up in front of me and was waving her arms in my face.
"Why are you brooding?" She was far too perky for my current mood, anymore and I might do something I will later regret.
"I am not brooding…Just thinking" I answered simply "Have you not heard of the phrase 'children should be seen and no heard'?" She just glared at me and mumbled something about her not being a child under her breath, before stomping off. Why did I ever agree to this?
I walked over to the railing, where Cloud was staring thoughtfully into the horizon.
"I assume you knew about this" I put simply; Cloud turned around and scratched the back of his neck, a normal thing for him to do when he is embarrassed or nervous.
"Y-eah… but seriously I think we all need it. I mean none of us have gotten together in a year now." I nodded in agreement. His words were true and though I hate to admit it, part of me missed the members of AVALANCHE.
Things are really starting to get busy now; Cloud and Tifa are dancing alongside Yuffie and even Cait the small robotic cat. Cid has put 'Shera' on auto pilot and was having a drinking game with Reno and Barret. I'm starting to wonder what Kiya is up to in the corner, Tifa and Yuffie have just walked to her and it looks like they are asking her to do something, judging by the strong hand protesting arm movements she is doing.
Kiya's POV
"No!" I said laughing "you are not getting me to sing that" well not in front of Vincent, I don't think I could do it.
"Oh come on! I know you have something to wear that you can dance in" Yuffie mused. She was right but…I…I.. I suppose I could, I guess there would be no harm.
"Okay okay! But I swear if you guys make me do this again…I will find the ultimate pay back. Ya hear me?" the two girls in front of me just laughed and nodded.
I glanced at Vincent before I started; he looked confused yet intrigued by my outfit. The music has started and it was nearly my turn to sing, oh I'm going to kill Yuffie and Tifa for this… although it could work in my favour.
When
I was young
I never needed anyone
and making love was just for
fun
those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the
friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's
home
Vincent's POV
So that's what they where up to. Kiya has begun to sing, and I have to say she is very good. Her tight fitting black dress hugs her body in all the right places, and shows every natural curve that a woman should have. There was no doubt about it, she was very mature in her figure, but with a young and innocent face. Her dark mysterious eyes pierced into me; eyes that have seen things no young lady should.
All by
myself Hard to
be sure All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and
obscure
Remains the cure
Don't wanna
be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna
live
All by myself
Anymore
Kiya is slowly making her way towards the front but unlike any other time, I don't feel uncomfortable.
"Of course you don't feel uncomfortable host, shall we take a crazy guess at why?" I wondered how long it would take for Chaos to interrupt this seemingly peaceful evening.
"It might have something to do with the fact that I feel at ease in her presence; and not whatever sick thing you have on your mind" All I could hear was Chaos's mocking laugh. One day I will be glad to get rid of this hell raising demon.

After a very long powerful ending, Kiya bowed and everyone, including myself cheered and applauded. We were cut short as 'Shera' suddenly lurched forward, sending Kiya flying into me. We both fell back onto the railing and I found myself wrapping my arms around so she couldn't fall any further.
Kiya's POV
Oh my god, I've done it again! Making a fool out of myself is something I don't normally do, but in the past few days things have been different. I'm cradled in Vincent's arms and I don't want to move, I like the way I feel protected… and cared for.
"SHIT!" Cid had run across the deck and grabbed the wheel, trying in his best efforts to ease the rocking 'Shera' but it wasn't any technical difficulty, there was someone or something aboard… I knew it.
