Hey guys I'm so sorry for the extremely long delay. I'm going to try to get back on this stuff. No promises but I'm going to try. Quick review reply and onto the story.

Fantasi888 - Will let's hope it's not Cloud. I'm sure a couple of them would enjoy him.

Cloud POV

Sleeping in the same bed as Vincent was a bit counterproductive. I spent more time awake with my mind running on the things that could happen than I did sleeping. All I could think about was what it would be like to curl up in his arms, my face buried in his neck, his head resting on mine. It made my heart race and my face burn as my mind wandered to different things. Dirtier things. When I did sleep my dreams were filled with images of us. Most of the dreams were of us together in different ways. None were of us just being friendly. But there was one that left me awake for hours. My mind took the events of the week past, of the fight between Vincent and his brother, and replayed them. But with a twist. I stood and watched them, watching Vincents body shift into a new creature. I knew it was his demon form, or at least one of them. Feral was changing too, becoming something new. I knew I should run but I couldn't. My whole body was frozen, my eyes locked on the two of them as they lunged at each other. I tried to look away, not wanting to watch them hurt each other. But it was a typical nightmare. I couldn't move and I couldn't look away. The only movement I was allowed was to move aside to avoid being hit by the two violent demons. My sleeping body jerked each time I moved in the dream. Within a short time I was being shook. My eyes opened up to look into beautiful ruby red ones. Vincent was looking down at me with a concerned look. I smiled slightly to help relax him. I quickly promised him that I was fine and that he should go back to sleep. That I just had a bad dream and it was nothing to worry about. He nodded and laid back down, still looking unsure. I smiled to assure him and laid down, trying to fall asleep. It was hours before I finally did.

When I woke the next morning I was alone. Vincent must have gotten up already. He was probably out talking with his family. I hoped he was at least. He needed to fix things with his family. I was worried though that if they fixed things he might stay here. If he stayed id probably never see him again. I wasn't sure that was something I could handle. There was no way I could tell him why i wanted to stay though. If he decided to stay here id have to let him. I sighed and got up, changing and walking out of the room to go find him. The place was huge though and I was quickly lost. I was half tempted to start yelling for someone to come help. Before the words left my mouth there was someone pulling at my shirt. I looked down to see the little girl from the day before. She was smiling up at me. "You're Vinnies friend right? Did you get lost? Its easy to do here."

I nodded, looking the girl over. She looked and acted very young and innocent. It was hard to believe that she had a demon inside her. She seemed to realize what I was doing and giggled, grabbing my hand. "Come play with me. Everyone else is busy talking so I'm all lonely. "

I didn't want to be mean but I had to go find Vincent. "I'd love to but I should go find your brother."

She pouted and shook her head. "Vinnie is busy talking to Mother Father and Feral. They might be awhile. So come play with me." She pulled at my hand, pulling me along. For a little girl she was strong.

I didn't have the heart to try to tell her no again, so she pulled me along to her room. For some reason I seemed to expect a very dark creepy room, yet found a typical little girls room. Bright pink and filled with dolls and stuffed animals. She pulled me over to a little kids table set up for what I was sure was a tea party. I sat down and she started our little game of make believe. I sighed and went along with it, hoping Vincent would come find me soon.

Vincent POV

I sighed, sitting back in the chair, listening to Feral catch our parents up with what had happened since he had found me. They were pissed when they heard we had gotten into a fight using our demons. And with Cloud there as well. They were thankful he was there, but they were upset by the fact I could have killed hm. Just another reason to them for me to return home. I shook my head at them. There was no way I was returning home. Not yet. Returning home would only undo the work I had done in Midgar. And it meant leaving Cloud. That was something I didn't think I could ever do. Feral knew Cloud was a part of my staying away and brought it up. My parents looked at me, neither looking very surprised. Mother smiled but looked worried. I knew why. She was worried for the same reason I was. Cloud was pure human. If I lost control while we were alone he could end up dead. That was the biggest reason as to why I had not pushed for a relationship that was more than friendship. It was to big of a risk. There was also the fact that I was very sure Cloud saw me as no more than a friend. I was lucky for that at this point. He should have run from me when he first found out. Which he did. But he came back. Even after I nearly drained him he remained by my side. I couldn't understand why. Feral had made the joke that he was sure Cloud was in love with me. I very quickly smacked him for it. It was a wonderful thought but I knew I would never be true. So at that point I stood and flat out told them all that the conversation was over. I was not returning home. They tried to talk to me but I ignored them, walking out to check on Cloud.

I was worried Cloud had gotten himself lost. He was gone from my room when I got there. I searched the halls near my room but it seemed that he had wandered farther. Trying to search him out normally would take forever. It was best to leave the searching to my demon senses. I was thankful I had taken the time to learn to channel certain demons without giving the demon full control. It really only worked with a couple of them, and for a short time. But Gallian beast was the easiest to control and he was all I needed. I triggered his sense of smell quickly and followed Clouds scent. I began to panic a bit when I realized the smell of blood was coming from the same direction. Hurrying down the hall, the scent led me to Chrysells room. Both Cloud and the blood were in her room. I pushed the door open quickly and looked in. Cloud and my sister both looked over. I mentally sighed in relief when I saw he was safe. I dismissed my demon quickly and walked over to them. Chrysell ran over to me, grabbing my hand and pulling me to the tiny table. She was smiling brightly as she poured a drink into another of her tiny plastic cups. At least now I knew why I smelled blood. I took the tiny cup and downed it, looking over at Cloud. His cup sat in front of him with same liquid. I sighed. Poor Cloud. Chrysell tugged on my sleeve. "Vinnie your friend isn't playing properly. He hasn't drank any of his tea."

I smiled, realizing that she had no idea Cloud was pure human. "He doesn't drink our tea. He's human Chrysell."

She looked at Cloud then back at me, looking confused. "Pure human? Really? Did you bring him here as a snack for us?"

I shook my head quickly. Cloud looked freaked out. "No Chrysell. He's not food. He's my friend. No one in this house is going to feed on him. You just drink your tea ok?"

She nodded and lost herself in her game again. I stood and pulled Cloud up, leaving the room quickly. He clung to my arm, obviously freaked out. I just rubbed his back gently. "Relax you're ok. She wouldn't have hurt you."

Cloud looked at me. "Its not her I'm worried about. Its her demon."

I stopped and turned to Cloud. "Listen. Our demons aren't crazy attackers. They attack if we get really mad or when we're being attacked. If they're starving they will force their way out. But we make sure she's well fed, especially since she's so young. I'm sure you can guess what that drink was."

He nodded slowly. "I didn't at first. I tasted it and it tasted strange. It didn't taste right. So I didn't drink it. Then when you said that it was something I didn't drink I knew what it was."

I sighed. This trip had been a disaster. I knew it would be. The best thing i could do now was get Cloud out of the house. Take him into town for awhile. Get him around normal humans. He didn't protest when I took him out of the house and to the town. His whole body relaxed and he released his grip on me as soon as we were around people. I knew that he couldn't stay in that house another night. It wasn't safe for him. We'd have to leave tonight. His mother would be suspicious if he returned early though so we'd have to stay at my place. I doubted Cloud would care. Anything to get away from my family. When I brought up the idea of leaving he agreed instantly. He wanted to go get our stuff and leave no but we couldn't. I had to at least stay for the day. For my families sake. I had no idea when id return. So I spent a large part of the day with Cloud in town then returned with him just as night was starting to fall. Dinner was ready when we got there and we went in to eat. The others had sat down already and were waiting. Feral smirked when we entered. "Have a nice date you two?"

I glared, leading Cloud to sit. "Shut it Feral. It wasn't a date. We're not involved like that. Nor will we ever be."

Cloud tensed slightly and I frowned, looking at him. He looked upset. I opened my mouth to ask him what was wrong but Feral beat me to it. "Ouch poor Cloud. Denied before he even had a chance to admit his feelings. How cruel of you."

I looked at Cloud, trying to ignore Feral. Cloud got up, stepping away from the table. He gave the quick excuse that he wasn't hungry and walked away quickly. I hurried after him quickly, wanting to know why he was so upset. He managed to find his way to my room and had curled up on my bed. I walked over and sat beside him. "Cloud? What's wrong? Did Feral upset you?"

He shook his head and my frown deepened. "Please tell me what's wrong then."

He sat up slowly and looked at me. I could see he was thinking hard about something, like he was trying to convince himself of something. I was about to ask when he leaned forward, kissing me gently.
