Whew! Last chapter was a doozy to write! Well now things start to get shook up in the FF world. This chapter will probably center around Dante, Vincent, and Yuffie. Thanks a bunch to those who read and review my story XD


Unexpected Acquaintances

"Who do you think he is, Vince?" It was the 5th time she had asked since they had found the man in Da Chao. They were now in her house near the outskirts of town away from the Pagoda and her father. Vincent had laid down the man on to Yuffie's couch and leaned on the doorway to her living room.

"Yuffie," replied Vincent, "For the 5th consecutive time tonight I have never seen this man in my life." Underneath his cloak he gripped Cerberus tightly. There was something about this man that made him uneasy and suspicious.

"Hey help me take off his clothes," Yuffie said sitting down on the couch next the unconscious man and motioning Vincent over. She grabbed onto the man's red coat and shrugged it off his sleeping form adding, "Looks like he's been in through a tough fight. I wanna make sure hes not wounded or anything." She pulled the coat out from underneath him and moved on to his red vest and black silk shirt. Vincent walked over and picked up the coat from the floor with his golden claw. There were cuts and gashes in it obviously made by a sword. He picked up the vest, long sleeve shirt that Yuffie had discarded on the floor. Vincent set them on a table next to the sword, two amulets, and dual pistols they had found on the man. He found nothing peculiar about the two amulets except for the fact that both were entirely identical but he was curious about the sword. There were strange and ancient engravings on the cross guard of the sword, symbols he had never seen anything similar to in the entire world. The two guns the man had were also peculiar. Both were mastercrafted, oversized Colt M1911's with women engraved in both handles.

Yuffie gasped as she set her eyes on the man's well toned and muscular body. His muscles were well defined and highly articulated This is one gorgeous man...she thought as her eyes wondered all over his chest and arms Wait, what the hell am I doing?! I finally snag one Vincent Valentine and now I'm after some stranger! Ugh I'm so screwed up!! She ran her hands over his face down his neck and on to his chest looking for any cuts, bruises, or any wounds. Yuffie was surprised at what she found. Nothing

"Hey Vince..." Yuffie called confused. Vincent turned from staring at the sword and walked over to her. "Yes?" He asked.

"Theres nothing on him," she said moving her hands over his body, "Not even so much as a scratch..." Vincent looked the man over, and true enough, he did not appear to show any wounds or hints to a battle. Who was this mysterious stranger?

"I'll get him a blanket and stay here until he wakes up," Vincent said walking towards a closet, "You should get some rest Yuffie its been a long night."

She was about to object when the man stirred. "Hey could you take your hands off me? It kinda tickles," He said playfully putting on a smirk. Yuffie yelped with surprise jumping off the couch. She stepped back into a warm chest as a gold claw circled her waist protectively. Vincent was at her side in mere seconds with his gun pointed at the now fully awake Dante.

"Woah there!" Dante said as he got up. He mockingly put his hands up in the air, "What did I do? I just woke up to a beautiful young lady sitting next to me. Is that a crime?" Yuffie slipped out of Vincent's grasp and hid behind him grabbing his arm tightly with her hands. She flushed at Dante's comment. No one had ever called her beautiful before except for Vincent. The ninja was glad she was behind him right now or she would have been in some trouble with the gunslinger.

"Who are you?" Vincent questioned still pointing Cerberus at the man. Dante merely shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "To be honest I don't know myself sometimes. But you give your name and I'll give you mine."

"Fair enough," answered Vincent as the two locked eyes, icy blue and crimson red, "My name is Vincent Valentine." He's definitely got something demonic about him... concluded Dante as he stared into Vincents eyes But...there's definitely something human about him as well... "The names Dante, Dante Sparda."

"And who might you be pretty lady?" asked Dante as he turned his attention to Yuffie. "This is Yuf-" "I AM THE GREAT NINJA HUNTER YUFFIE KISARAGI!" interrupted Yuffie as she regained her bearings and jumped out from behind Vincent. That one's definitely human, but...does she know about him?

"You should add loud and a headache somewhere in that title," teased Dante rubbing his ear. Yuffie scowled at him," I AM SO NOT LOUD!"

"Uh huh"

"AM NOT!"

"Are too!"

"AM NOT!!" Yuffie yelled. Ugh! This man is so infuriating! she thought. But part of her liked it. Vincent teased her sure, but never played games like that with her, never challenged who she was. She liked his calm composure but sometimes wanted to just argue over something with the man but could never push him to it.

"Whatever you say Yuffie," finally ending their arguement Dante looked around the place, "Welll, now that we're all acquainted you mind telling me where the hell I am?"

"I would like some of my questioned answered as well," Vincent replied lowering Cerberus, "If you would answer them I shall answer your questions as well."

"You still haven't answered my question Vince," said Dante crossing his arms over his chest.

"Hey! Only I can call Vincent Vince!!!" Yuffie interrupted before Vincent could speak. Dante merely gave her a wink which made her blush and she backed down.

"You are currently in Yuffie's house in Wutai," continued Vincent.

"Wutai? Where the hell is that?"

"Why did we find you you unconscious at Da Chao?"

"I haven't the faintest idea I don't even know where Wutai is!"

"It is located on the north western continent of Gaia. Do you remember where your from?"

"Gaia? What the he- Oh son of a bitch!" cursed Dante as he caught a glimpse of the two identical amulets on the table.Vergil's amulet...and the fight... he thought as he walked over to it. He instantly remembered everything and his mind kept coming to one conclusion.This wasn't his world.

"Vincent I have two questions for you that could solve this entire mystery. First off, does the name Sparda mean anything to you and secondly are you familiar with constellations?"

"Asides from the fact that it is your surname the name Sparda does not ring any bells," Vincent replied and then motioned his claw to Yuffie, "Yuffie on the other hand is an expert on astronomy."

"You bet I am! I know every single star constellation there is! Leviathan, Bahamut, Shiva, Kujata, Ifrit..." Yuffie chimed in happily

"Yuffie," Dante said in a serious tone similar to that of Vincent's, "All I need to know is do you know of a constellation called the Legendary Dark Knight?"

"Dark Knight?" Yuffie replied puzzled, "Nope I don't think I've ever heard of that before."

"Well then," Dante said sadly, "I don't think I'm from your dimension..."

"Thats impossible," Vincent replied blatantly

"Your right. Its as possible as 4 demons demons being contained into one man," Dante said seriously looking straight into Vincent's eyes.

xXx

Meanwhile in the frozen north...

Vergil stood in the very center of the crater looking down a deep hole where a vortex of torrents and energy flowed upwards.

This place is full of power...ancient power...

"Tell me where does this power come from!" he yelled into the distance. Drawing out Yamato he focused on the blade. Absorbing a sample of the energy in the air he gained to names.

Jenova...Sephiroth...

"I see...Jenova huh?"
