Well, I really liked Chapter Six! Okay, so have any of you ever read To Love An Ancient: A Sephiroth and Aeris story. And To Love An Ancient 2: A Kadaj and Aeris Story? I love them! You should try and read them along with Destined Souls, Sink to the Bottom With Me, Irony of Fate, and The Plus Side of Insomnia.
Oh and there are some more: I Promise, My Dead Angel, 7 Days In.
Anyway, for any fans Chaos might have made in here and the games, I have a nice piece of his POV in here! Along with a new character! And I guess I could do this just this once…cause I feel like it. Don't expect it again.
For those who are wondering about An Angel's Demon. I tweaked the plot a little bit, but I'm only going to lengthen it by…a billion pages. The only thing I 'tweaked' was that I decided to make Clone Number One the bad guy. Sephy (the original) the good/bad guy and Aeris has to go to the Temple of the Ancients and stuff like that-with Seph, Cloud, and everyone. But Cloud wasn't there at first. So there's you a spoiler for it! Can't wait til I get to that part though! I may make it a smaller fan fic than planned, but I hope it's long-long like this one is going to be!
I mean, I'm on Chapter 7 on this fan fic, and on page 70 on my computer! Yay! Though I think I'm only going to make this one 13 chapters long. (13's my lucky number and NO ONE can steal it! And I'm age 13 right now…) Tell me if you want me to make it longer! What's 13 X 10? I hate math, but I'll just use my computer's calculator and cheat! Yay! I mean oh no! (says sarcastically)
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters of Final Fantasy VII. I do, however, own Gackt (Number 13), Shadow, and this story. I do not, though, own Gackt's name. I just like the name-a lot…
Chapter Seven
(By Three Doors Down)
I woke up today in London,
As the plane was touching down,
And all I can think about is Monday,
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keep same away much longer,
I don't what I would do
You've got to understand it's a hard life,
That I'm going through
And when the night falls in around me,
I don't think I'll make it through,
I'll use you're light to guide a way,
Cause all I think about is you
Yuffie struggled in her captor's arms as she felt herself thrown against a hard brick wall. She grunted in pain as her head collided painfully with the hard brick. She felt her arms being yanked behind her back and tied with a rope the man must have been carrying. As soon as her hands were tied behind her back, her captor yanked her away from the side of the wall. Yuffie's eyes opened. She felt tears threatening to spill from the fear she felt within herself. "Vincent…help me…" she heard herself breathing, barley audible.
That was when Yuffie saw the face of her captor. He looked almost her age, if not a little older, by maybe a year. He had silver hair that went to his shoulders and glowing green eyes that were narrowed. His lips were twisted into a smirk. When he spoke, his voice was threatening, "Shut up, ninja. Vincent isn't going to help you. Now follow me and I will take you to Gackt,"
Yuffie blinked, turning rigid with shock. She seemed to have not heard the teen as she gasped out in utter disbelief, "Kadaj! I thought you were dead!"
---
Chaos glared at Hellmaster. Though he could see nothing of where Yuffie was, he could sense her fright and terrible helplessness. He knew that she was in danger. He was already very angry about that, but to make it worse, Hellmaster was demanding that Chaos give him his chainsaw back. Chaos had stolen it about a year ago and whenever Vincent transformed, he took it with him. The chainsaw helped shred his enemies all to pieces! And now Chaos planned to use it on Gackt and Kadaj. If only Hellmaster would shut up…
'Chaos! Give me my chainsaw!' Hellmaster demanded in a loud, angry and demanding voice.
Chaos's yellow eyes narrowed, 'Not if you plan on taking it with you to the grave, demon,'
'Me? A Demon? Look at yourself!' Hellmaster argued.
"It seems as if the demons have gotten into a little fight. What is you problem?" a smooth and calm, light voice asked. Chaos and Hellmaster turned their heads to see a creature standing in the shadows. The creature had glowing sapphire blue eyes. It looked similar to a wolf, in fact it resembled one. Its claws were unnaturally long and its fangs glistened even in the dark. Authority seemed to come off of the wolfish creature and she stood tall as she approached Chaos and Hellmaster on long, thin legs. It was a beautiful sight, and yet the looming sight itself, the blue eyes reflecting the sadness that she had seen through the years, making her a tragic sight to look upon.
'Who are you?' Chaos demanded, narrowing his yellow eyes. His claws remained on the chainsaw.
"I am who I am, but you may refer to me as Shadow."
'You sound like Vincent…" Hellmaster muttered.
Shadow ignored the demon and turned her cold blue eyes on Chaos. "I see that you hold affection for the young ninja whom is in danger of an enemy. I believe I can help you-if this man allows it."
Chaos nodded, 'I will convince him if you convince me. How do I know I can trust you?'
Shadow dipped her head, but immediately rose higher, taking on her majestic pose once more. Her eyes blazed with cold fire as she spoke once more, "You can trust the one who comes from the one you seek, am I correct?"
Hellmaster looked baffled. 'Huh?' he asked absentmindedly as he scratched his ear.
Chaos, however, understood and nodded, 'I did not know Yuffie had an inhabitance of her own.'
Shadow nodded, "She does, though she does not realize it. I am there when she needs help, when she needs comfort, and when she is pained. I am her sorrow, her love, her hate, her pain. I am her Guardian and stand by to protect her. For now, I shall ask you to aid me in helping her, for I have come to know she is deeply fond of you and Vincent, Chaos."
'What about me?" Hellmaster whined. Shadow ignored him. Chaos looked pleased with himself. He glanced down at the chainsaw and threw it at Hellmaster. It hit the demon in the head. 'Ow!' Hellmaster growled, stumbling backwards. And there was the flower. Hellmaster squeaked with terror and fled from it.
'Well, now that he's gone, let me speak with Vincent, and then you can help us with Yuffie, Shadow.' Chaos explained. Shadow simply nodded her head, and then sat down, curling her tail around her paws.
---
Vincent stared blankly at the wall as Cloud continued to ask questions. Cloud was getting rather irritated because it looked as if Vincent wasn't really paying a bit of attention. Which he really wasn't. He was too busy speaking with Chaos and the new being within his mind-Shadow as she called herself. They had just finished explaining to him that Yuffie was in danger. Vincent's first reaction was to get up and go running to find her, but Shadow had stopped him.
"Vincent, I will guide you to Yuffie, but to do that, I must become a solid being. I have never attempted in doing such a dangerous thing before." Shadow explained, her voice quite grave.
'How do you do that? Why is it so dangerous?' Vincent asked the wolfish female being, his red eyes glinting with curiosity and anxiety.
"I must take something from another. I do not know what I will take from someone. It could be anyone, even you. It could be your emotions, your memory, your intelligence, anything like that. Something dear to you. I could even take the life from your body. Sometimes, very rarely, I will pass on some emotion that another is feeling, and transfer it to another, but this last for only a day or so." Shadow responded, her voice quiet as if the words she spoke were something to be feared.
Vincent nodded, ignoring Cloud. 'I see. What kind of danger is Yuffie in? Is it urgent enough to risk something like this?'
"Maybe. Kadaj, the remnant of Sephiroth, has her. I cannot say where, for I do not know. I only follow her feeling and what she wishes. She wished for you and so I came to get you. Kadaj, I fear, is taking her to Gackt. I know Yuffie's fear for the man. We mustn't let Gackt get to her before we do. I fear for her safety."
'Fine, do it. Shadow, make yourself be seen,' Vincent ordered. He saw the looked of apprehension pass through Shadow's icy blue eyes, but she nodded in obedience.

Rufus ShinRa sat at his desk, drumming his finger on it. He looked rather bored with nothing to do. Beside him, stood Rude, a Turk, or ex-Turk, seeing as ShinRa was no longer in business. Next to Rude, stood Reno, who looked extremely bored and was looking at Elena, his nightstick in hand.
Just as Rufus was about to suggest they all go play baseball and see who could kill Reno first, the former president of ShinRa suddenly snapped. Rufus's brown eyes bulged out of his head and he screamed out in pain for a second before slipping from his chair and falling to the ground. His eyes closed and he lay still on the floor.
The Turks rushed forward, panic suddenly written across their faces. "Rufus!" Elena yelped, bending down to inspect the former president.
"What the hell happened?" Tseng, leader of the Turks demanded as he rushed in the room. And then he noticed Rufus, "What did you guy do to him?" he demanded.
"Nothing!" Elena swore, checking Rufus's wrist for a pulse. Rude, meanwhile, looked for anyone who could have entered the room and shot a silent bullet at the president, but of course, there was no blood. Reno, however, was checking for any signs of sickness.
Elena sighed with relief as she felt the faintest of pulses in Rufus's wrist. "Oh good, he's alive, but he needs help. Reno, go call for help," she suddenly said.
Reno looked over at her and was about to snap back at her, but decided against it and stood up. Just as he did, Elena turned to looked back down at Rufus. His eyes were still closed, but he twitched. Everyone watched as Rufus's eyes fluttered open. His eyes looked into Elena's. Elena blinked. "Are you alright?" she asked him.
Rufus nodded, groaning, "What happened? I feel as if I just came back through hell…oh wait…I did."
"Huh? Everyone asked, staring at Rufus, "What do you mean you did?"
Rufus looked at them, "Who are you people?"
A/N: I love Rufus ShinRa! He's so hot! Like Gackt (Genesis), Vincent, Cloud, and Seph. What else is new? I'm glad I finally put Rufus in here, aren't you? Yep! I am! Back to Seph and Aeris!
---
Aeris glowered at Sephiroth. "Come on! You have to meet my mom! I don't care if she hates your guts! You're my husband!" She yanked and tugged at Sephiroth arm, trying to drag him down to where her mother was staying at. Sephiroth didn't budge. Instead, he glared down at her with narrowed Mako green eyes.
"Aeris," he growled, "Release my arm. I have business to do and plans to make. I don't have time to visit your mother,"
"Yes you do! You married me and now you need to meet the family before we have a family!" Aeris snapped right back.
Sephiroth stared at Aeris after her words had sunk in. "Wh-What?" he finally gasped out.
---
"What you thought, was wrong ninja. I'm not dead-anymore." Kadaj smirked at his comment as he began to drag Yuffie towards his motorcycle that had been parked in the alleyway with him. Yuffie did not struggled, but she was still terrified, yet very curious.
"So how did you come back to life?" she asked trying to forget the fact that she was tied up and being taken to who-knows-where.
"…" was all Kadaj sat as he grabbed her and helped her up on the motorcycle. He climbed on behind her and started it.
"Okay, can I ask where you're taking me?" she asked, staring at Kadaj.
Kadaj narrowed his Mako green eyes and replied, "Didn't know you were so naïve. I'm taking you to Gackt,"
"Who's Gackt?" Yuffie asked, very confused.
"Number 13," Kadaj replied simply. He felt Yuffie stiffen and he could sense her fear now. Kadaj smirked as he quickly drove off to the place Gackt told him to meet him at.
---
Vincent stared in awe as a shadow stretched over the room, dimming everything. Cloud gawked in utter confusion and alarm, but remained seated, tense. Vincent ignored him as the shape of Shadow materialized in the room, slowly, appearing like fog. Her blue eyes narrowed at the sight of him. When she spoke, her voice was swift and urgent, "I have taken the memory of a man, but for now, we shall not worry about that. Let me guide you to Yuffie."
Vincent nodded and got up, following Shadow. He realized Shadow was running towards the outskirts of the Edge, and towards the ruins of Midgar.
---
Gackt paced back and forth. He stood in front of the ruins of Midgar, his green eyes narrowed and his lips twisted into a slight smirk. His plans were all too easy. Kadaj would not fail him, he knew. Kadaj was smarter than Yazoo and quick to act and very quiet, not that Yazoo wasn't quiet, Yazoo was practically silent 24/7! Gackt felt his lips twitch into a small smile at the thought of seeing Yuffie again.
This time his plan would not fail. Kadaj would get Yuffie when she was alone, and Valentine would never know until she was already in his arms. Gackt knew that Sephiroth would be wanting the Masamune back very soon, considering that he had planned to go visit Aeris's mother. 'Probably going to kill Elmyra, or better yet, himself.' Gackt chuckled quietly to himself at the thought.
Raising his green gaze from the ground, he looked over the ruins of Midgar. His smile vanished as he scanned the dense area that was littered with scraps of metal and debris. He would have to wind his way through all this junk just to make sure anyone following him, would not be able to find him. He looked over the area with expert eyes, already calculating at where he needed to go, how much energy it would take, and all that other stuff.
It wasn't long, only when the sun was just starting to sink, telling Gackt that it was somewhere around 3:00, when he heard the faint roar of a motorcycle. Spinning around, he looked up at the Edge that was extremely close to Midgar, if not practically on top of it. Gackt bent down a little so he could see behind the WRO sign.
A/N: Did anyone else notice in Advent Children that the sign had WRO only on it? Heh-heh! And I thought you learned about them in Dirge of Cerberus! Ah well! I won't ruin it for anyone!
He could see Kadaj on his motorcycle along with someone who looked rather defeated. A sly grin flashed across his face. Yuffie was almost there. Within seconds, Kadaj's motorcycle stopped in front of the sign. Gackt raised an eyebrow, a slight curious look glinting in his eyes. Why hadn't Kadaj just went on through the sign? He didn't care if it were thrown and busted all to shit, it was just a sign. Now Kadaj would have to drag Yuffie all the way down the steeping slope that led to Gackt.
He glowered at the silver haired teen in utter dislike, but he waited with arms crossed. Gackt, after a few seconds, slid his gaze over to Yuffie. She was tied up and was staring at him with plain horror. She did not speak though, and kept her eyes from looking at him.
Gackt smirked. It did not take as long as he had expected for Kadaj to reach him. As soon as Yuffie was standing in front of him, Gackt grinned and came toward her. He embraced her in a fierce hug that Yuffie tried to pull away from, but failed miserably. Then his eyes found Kadaj and he spoke, "You may go now, Kadaj."
Kadaj gave him a death glare and then began to climb back up to his motorcycle. Gackt ignored the remnant and looked back down at Yuffie, whom he was still holding. She was glaring at him with hatred. "Don't give me that look, Yuffie. It pains me to see you upset," Gackt sounded as if he were mocking her. Yuffie only stuck her tongue out at him.
Gackt rolled his eyes, "Okay, now that you are here, I shall escort you through Midgar."
Yuffie looked as if she were dying to say something. Gackt didn't stop her, "Can you untie me?" she snarled, practically yelling at him. Gackt grinned and nodded, still not releasing Yuffie. "Also get your duty paws off me!"
Gackt narrowed his eye sat her, as he moved his hands behind Yuffie. He felt her stiffen as he gripped her hands and began to undo the rope. Just as he finished untying the knot, he leaned into Yuffie and brushed his lips against hers. It was a very quick and short kiss. Yuffie looked disgusted as he drew back, and as soon as her arms were free, she shoved herself away from him. Gackt didn't say anything as he grabbed her arm and began to forcefully drag her through the ruins.
A/N: I truly feel sorry for Yuffie…stupid Number 13…
---
Vincent found himself standing at the very edge of the Edge. His red eyes narrowed with utter rage as he sensed the presence of Number 13, turned Gackt, around. He could feel Yuffie's fear and helplessness. That only fueled his anger. He climbed off of his motorcycle and walked silently over to Shadow.
The black wolfish being looked over at him. "You miss her, don't you?" she asked him quietly, her blue eyes softening with understanding as she saw the fear and anger rising within Vincent's eyes. To her surprise, the dark gunman slowly nodded.
(by Three Doors Down)
One more kiss could be the best thing,
Or more lie could be the worst,
And all these thoughts of never resting,
And you're not something I deserve
In my head there's only you now,
This world falls on me,
In this world,
There's real and make believe,
This seems real to me,
Shadow nodded, understanding. "Okay then, she's down there. Go find her. I shall me waiting," Shadow dipped her black head, blinking slowly. Vincent turned to look down at her.
"You mean you're not coming?" he gasped out.
"No…" Shadow responded quietly. And then she gave him a faint wolfish smile full of fangs, "I am sure Rufus ShinRa wants his memory back, and besides…this is meant for you to settle. Not me, not Yuffie, you. You and Chaos. You are the link Vincent. Sustain the link and you may save more than you ever imagined saving. Wait and see in time. We shall meet again soon, Vincent Valentine…"
And then she was gone.
You love me but you don't know who I am,
I'm torn between this life and leading and where I stand,
And you love me but you don't know who I am,
So let me go,
Let me go
Vincent quickly climbed down the embankment, ignoring Chaos's jeers to hurry up. Hellmaster and the others remained silent. That was unusual, but maybe Chaos's anger was keeping them all quiet, because none of them were anywhere near as strong as Chaos. Rushing across the unleveled and littered ground, Vincent quickly leapt around, hurrying through paths that he felt a tug on his heart telling him to go. Yuffie was being taken towards the center of Midgar. The center where Vincent's living hell began: ShinRa.
---
I dream what I had to hope for,
And I turned my back on lovin' you,
How can this love be a good thing?
And I know what I'm goin' through
Gackt yanked Yuffie along, ignoring her protests and threats that she sent him. They were all meaningless jeers and taunts to him that he could easily ignore and forget within seconds of hearing them. All of the threats had something to do with Vincent or her shuriken. Neither which she had with her, or near her; Gackt knew.
Finally, when he came upon the remains of the ShinRa HQ, he stopped and whirled around to face a very angry and frightened young ninja. For a few seconds, he gazed into her stormy eyes, loving the color of them. He felt himself drawn to her, despite the look in her eyes and the words coming from her mouth. His Mako green eyes trailed down to her lips, which were moving swiftly as she threatened him.
"If you don't let me go, I will sic Chaos on you! He's not afraid to rip your guts out and splatter your remains all over the wall, you know? He'll make sure you die a painful slow death that make you regret that you ever-" Yuffie was cut off as Gackt yanked her again.
In my head there's only you now,
This world falls on me,
In this world,
There's real and make believe,
This seems real to me,
You love me but you don't know who I am,
I'm torn between this life and leading and where I stand,
And you love me but you don't know who I am,
So let me go,
Just let me go
She gasped in shock as he pulled her close to him. He wrapped his left arm around her waist and his right around her shoulder, pinning her body against his. Yuffie grunted from her loss of air and looked up, her breathing shallow, the fear in her now wide gray eyes. She stared into his with fright, and nothing more. Her anger had vanished, and slowly, that fright was morphing into terror.
Gackt ignored those emotions as he smiled very slightly, smirking at her as she bit her lip in nervousness and fear. Then he leaned down and placed his lips against hers. He felt Yuffie go rigid in his arms, and he felt the faintest of struggles, but he would not allow her to escape from him. "Forget about everyone else Yuffie…Forget Vincent and stay with me…I won't hurt you," he promised, breathing against her lips as he kissed her again.
Then he pulled away, looking at Yuffie, a smirk on his face once more. She was staring at him with wide eyes still, her breathing labored with lack of air. The anger had returned to her features, but Gackt gave her no time to respond as he released her and grabbed her upper arm again. And then he continued dragging her through Midgar, passing the ShinRa HQ. He stopped and stared at the building.
---
Vincent could feel Chaos's anger radiating through him. He almost asked his inner demon what was wrong, but he ignored the questioning feeling within him as he raced through Midgar. Already, he was very close to the ShinRa HQ.
'Damn that Gackt! I'm going to spill his guts onto the ground and smash them! Then I'm going to bleed him and feed him to the rabid monster outside the Edge! I'LL KILL HIM!'
Vincent flinched at Chaos's blind fury, and the volume of the demon's voice. He could feel every ounce of anger coursing through his veins and he knew that if he asked why Chaos was so angry, he would lose complete control of the furious demon and Chaos would fulfill his wishes. Not that Vincent minded-he just didn't want Yuffie to see him like that.
You love me but you don't,
You love me but you don't,
You love me but you don't,
Know who I am
You love me but you don't,
You love me but you don't,
You love me but you don't,
Know meJust as Vincent felt Chaos try to force his way free, he came upon the ShinRa HQ. It happened faster than he thought possible. His red eyes flashed as he saw Gackt pulling away from a very frightened Yuffie and then yank her forcefully towards the ShinRa HQ building. His heart began to race and his blood boiled. Well now he could spare asking Chaos what had upset him. Vincent now knew.
So how'd you guys like it? Sorry it took so long to update. I've been looking for Aeris/Sephiroth and Vincent/Yuffie pairings fan fics for a while. If you guys have any titles for AXS & VXY, feel free to give me some! Okay, well, guess I gotta go! (XD. Chaos stole Hellmaster's chainsaw.)
Oh yeah, thank you Lord Makura for pointing out that mistake about Chaos. My brother told me wrong! Oh well!
Ja ne!
R&R! (please)
