Chapter 6 - "Confrontation"
Her eyes sag like dark clouds as Yuffie Kisaragi watches her son sleep fitfully. She was up all night with him as he threw up and cried for it to stop and begged for Vinent to come back. Cold tears slid down her warm skin as the small child clutches one of her boyfriend's many bandanas against his chest.
A hand gently grasps at her shoulder and squeezes it reassurigly. "He'll be alright here, Yuffie." the soft voice of her best friend whispers, "Just go do what you need to do." The sullen mother holds her friend's hand tightly, her eyes never leave her ill child, "Thanks, Tifa." she whispers monotoniously, slowly turning away and shuffles her way out of the house sluggishly.
Glancing up at the burning sun seems to knowck the young ninja to her senses a bit. She tightens her grip on the strap of her small backpack, and fixes her now determined gaze on the tall structure of the airport. I'm coming, Vince, and you'd better have a hell of an excuse. she thinks sternly, walking quickly past the large morning crowds at their cafes.
Passing a small white cafe, Yuffie stops suddenly, a form partially hidden in the shadows smirks darkly, "Its been awhile, Yuffie Kisaragi." Her grey gaze darkens as she catches sight of her stalker. Long medium-brown hair tied up in a ponytail with a yellow ribbon, a large lab coat muffling light blue and purple attire and dark hazel eyes stare at her hauntingly. Familiarity flashes across the young woman's story eyes, her grip on the bag tightens and her teeth grind in anger.
She turns to face the still taller woman, and she snarls, spitting out the name like a disease, "Not long enough, Lucrecia Crescent." Vincent's ex-girlfriend, and mother of his son, steps out of the shadows, feigning inoccence. "Its been nine long years, Yuffie. We have so much to discuss. Join me for coffee?"
"No thanks!" the irrate ninja grunts, turning away from her high school bully, "I've got things to do." Lucrecia sighs and narrows her eyes maliciously, "What? Something that includes leaving your fatally ill son at home to run off and find a missing Vincent Valentine?" Yuffie freezes in midstep, snapping, "What do you know? I've never forgotten how much you love to bluff to get your way. I bet that's the only way you caught Vincent." She chuckles and says, "Come with me and you'll find anything you want to know."
The ninja is sitting in a dingy yellow-white room with colorfully stained white tables and torn, rusy chairs. She watches her enemy cautiously over the rim of her tea cup. The hazel-eyed woman sets down her coffee- stained cup, eying the Kisaragi knowledably, "So, where did dear old Vincent go to?" Yuffie pulls the cup away from her lips, "Why should I tell you? You seem so concerned after abandoning him four years ago."
Lucrecia smirks, "I'm just curious as to the whearabouts of my experiment." Yuffie springs out of her chair, slams her fists into the table,a nd bellows in anger, "Experiment? Experiment! He is a person, Lucrecia! How can you say something like that about the man you were with for over four years, and your child's father?" The vile scientist smirks at all the looks they're getting and laughs maniaclly, "The fool, he's so ignorrantly gulible! He's not Sephiroth's father."
Stormy eyes widen, immediatly forseeing Vincent's reaction and pain. Not his ... she thinks, her hand flies to her mouth, ... oh my god ... Vinnie ... "H-how could you!?" she whispers fixing a venomous glare at the heartless witch, "How could yo do that to Vinent? To Sephiroth?" "Hmph!" a frown finally settles on Lucrecia's face, "It was part of my mission. And its the fool's own fault. He got himself involved!"
Yuffie's eyes narrow as she regains her composure, "Part of your mission?" The young scientist shrugs off the question and continues, "I've been assigned to a special mission, a classified mission." Tears swell in her grey eyes as Yuffie shakes with anger, "You're a heartless traitor! But I do know you took something special from Vincent. You took his away his life!" Lucrecia shakes her head, taunting, "No, my dear, you did that all on your own. Well, with a little help from my husband." A hand flies to the ninja's neck in defense as horrific visions of an ice cold blade slicing into her skin. "H-him?" she chokes, "Y-you married h-him?"
She smirks darkly, "I'm so glad you remember him, he'll be pleased as well." "Tell me." she growls, "What are you doing here?? What do you want with Vincent? And where's Sephiroth?" The older woman frowns again, "Why are you so concerend?" "Because I love Vincent, with all that I am, and I'd do anything for him and do anything to protect him. And he loves that child to ruins and back." she retorts, standing tall against her enemy.
"Hmph!" she snorts, "As if I'd tell you anything that might keep us away from our goal. It was fun, really, but I must be leaving." She stands quickly and reaches the door before Yuffie snaps, "If you harm a hair on his head, I'll-" "-You'll what?" she grins maliciously, "Remember, Kisaragi, he can find your son." And with that, she leaves the young woman in a dark hole.
Shadowed claret irises dully skim over faded ink on copper-brown pages, bound by a tattered, musky leather book. Large, mountanious amounts of identical books surround him. Some open, some closed. Ghost-like specks of dust float around his pale face, causing his eyes and nose to itch.
host, its been five long days. Chaos whines wearily, NLets get some rest. Not pausing from his intese reading, he thinks determinedly, Quit whinning, you're a powerful legendary demon, not a child. I can't stop now, I have to find a way to save Koner.
Strange topics catch the dmon's attention. Brain fungus, mako from Eyes,
Animal/ Human Genetic Mutation... That Hojo's one sick bastard, eh, Valentine? Chaos says, slightly distracted. Vincent nods,, That he is, but the man's smart, that's why we're here. What I wanna know is why he let al his books here. They have every record of his sick experiments. he sighs, crossing his scaled arms.
That's a good question, Chaos. the gunslinger nods, I guess he thought since it was abandoned, no one would come looking for anything. But we're bound to find something here. Chaos scratches the back of his head, Well ... he slowly drawls, What if these five days have been wasted ... and the answer's not here?
Vincent drops the book he was reading and narrows his eyes darkly, What? his mind screams angrily. Chaos is quickly saved by the shrill ring of his cell phone. He slowly pulls it out and flips it open, the ID read Tifa. He's been avoiding Yuffie's calls the first couple of days, now he has a reason not to. He presses a neon green button, "Hello?" he anwers hoarsly, due to lack of vocal use the last few days. "Vincent!" Tifa exclaims in relief over the line, "Thank god you answered! We have a maor problem and we need you here ASAP." "What's wrong?" he questions, eyes narrow in worry, she quickly says, "Yuffie and Koner are in the hospital."
