Chapter nine : Kidnapped and Jasmine's origins.
" Vincent! WHAT DO MEAN SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER!! WHAT LAURA
AND LUNA!! AREN'T THEY YOUR DAUGHTERS TOO!!" Yuffie shouted
angrily to her husband.
" She isn't my real daughter Yuffie . I care for her like I care for Laura
and Luna ." Vincent calmly explained.
" WHAT! DO YOU MEAN SHE ISN'T YOUR REAL DAUGHTER!!
VINCENT VALENTINE YOU ARE SOOO SLEEPING IN THE GUEST
ROOM WHEN WE GET HOME!!"
" Yuffie, you need to stop yelling your going to give yourself a headache."
" I DON'T – Owww… My head…"
Vincent sighed.
" I did warn you…"
" Don't get smart with me !! Now explain!"
" I will in a moment. But you better promise me that this issue will only be
kept between us. Understand."
Yuffie nodded as Vincent continued.
" Seventeen years ago… Two years after our marriage , a friend of who was
expecting . Called me to attented the birth.
Then not long after that Jasmine was born and my friend made me promise
her to keep the child safe and to make sure the father doesn't know about
it …"
" So that doesn't explain why you were keeping this from us Vincent."
Yuffie said sternly.
" Well , I did it to protect Jasmine, you, and the girls."
" Wait! YOU MEAN THE GIRLS ARE IN DANGER!!"
He shook his head.
" No their not in trouble yet. But we'll have to keep this a secret from now
on." Vincent turned to Yuffie as he waited for a response.
" I don't get it. What's with all the secrets Vincent?"
" Yuffie it's very important that everyone else that includes Jasmine doesn't
know about her past nor her father."
" Huh? Vincent… Who is her father anyway?"
" Look at her eyes. They tell you everything about her."
Yuffie stared at him with a confused expression as he stood up and left.

Meanwhile upstairs
Jasmine moaned and stirred as she began to wake up.
She shot up and walked straight to her door.
Then she turned the door handle but only to discover that it was locked from
the outside.
" Hey let me out!" She screamed as she began to bang on the door.
" Sorry, but for safety precautions were force to lock in there. Now stop that
banging you'll wake the others."
" Who are you?!" Jasmine asked the person outside her room.
" I'm Laura Valentine."
" Tell me what rights do you have to lock me in here like I'm some kinda
of prisoner?!"
" You nearly killed someone. So we had no choice to lock you up in here
when you fell asleep."
" WHAT?! Dammit not again…"
Jasmine sunk to the floor after she had heard Laura's statement.
Then after a few minutes of silence.
" Don't worry. Zack interfered before things got too serious…" Laura then
added
" Zack…" She whispered
" Skye's brother." Laura answered
" Yeah, I remember…"
Jasmine looked at her hand dreamingly.
Before closing it .
" Tell me is he ok?"
" Hmmm… Yes Skye's fine."
" Good." Jasmine stated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside the room.
Laura continued to talk with Jasmine until…
" Laura why are you still awake?" Vincent asked.
" Sorry dad, I'll be going to sleep now." She replied before walking past him.
" Good night Laura."
" Night."
As soon as Laura left he turned to Jasmine's bedroom door and sighed before
heading off to sleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile outside the house.
" Hey Loz are you sure this where the boy is ?" Yazoo asked.
" Yeah this is the place." Loz replied as he began to walk closer to the
house.
" Wait. Loz do you feel that?"
" Yeah…"
" It's seems that they are hiding our real mother in there."
Loz smirked evilly in response.
" Yazoo let's go."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back with Jasmine
Jasmine twist and turned in her bed as she felt a familiar but weak
sensation in her head.
Uhhhhh… What… Oh no he's here! She thought as she shot out of bed.
Then…
CRASH!!
A silver haired man appeared out of the shadows.
" Mother we finally found you." He said as he held out his hand to her.
" Mother? What are you talking about?! Your old enough to be my father!"
Jasmine shouted.
Then the man quickly came to her and clamp his hand over her mouth.
Soon another man appeared to the room.
" Loz. What are you doing? We got what we came for." The second man
said as she spotted the sleeping Skye in his arms.
Then… CRUNCH!.
Loz yelp in pain as Jasmine bite his hand and then…WHAM!
She managed to give he a good kick in the stomach.
" ALRIGHT WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!! AND WHAT DO WANT WITH
SKYE?!!" Jasmine demanded.
" Uhhh… Big sister Jasmine…" Skye said softly as he began to wake up.
Then Yazoo karate chopped the back of Skye's neck.
" Let. Him. Go. NOW!" She growled under her breath.
Then… WHACK! And soon Jasmine's world went black.
"Can you feel it? Yazoo this girl is mother."
" So what do we do with the boy? Loz."
" Leave 'im here." He shrugged as he place the unconscious Jasmine on his
shoulder as they left.
Soon a moan was heard in the room as the youngest Strife slowly began to
regain consciousness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Downstairs in Vincent's room
Vincent slowly began to wake up with no apparent reason except that…
Something's wrong He thought.
He got up from the wall that he was leaning on, loaded his gun, and made
his way upstairs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jasmine's room.
Vincent could immediately tell by the way her door was force opened that
someone had most likely kidnapped her.
Then…
"Uhhh… Huh. What am I doing up here?" Skye asked himself as he slowly
began to stand up.
Vincent walked over to the boy and picked him up.
" Skye… Can you tell me what happened?"
"Ummm… I don't know Uncle Vincent. I felt someone carried me up here."
" Someone carried you?" He asked as he took Skye back to his bedroom.
" Skye tell me what did this person look like ?"
" Ummm… He had long hair and I think I saw him carry a gun. Oh yeah I
also heard someone call big sister Jasmine 'mother'."
Vincent's eyes widen slightly as he began to place Skye on the bed.
" Skye please try and get some more sleep." Vincent said as he patted the
five years old boy's head.
After that he left the room to wake the others.
Cloud was the first person he needed to wake up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud's room.
CREAKKKKKK…
Cloud shot up and got off the bed as soon as he heard the door.
He grabbed his sword and waited.
Luckily it was only Vincent .
Cloud sighed in relief and put his sword down.
" Vincent. Why are you up so early?" He asked.
" No time to explain. I have more important matters to attend to."
Then Vincent left the room and woke the others.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later in the hallway.
" I'am sorry to wake you all at this hour." He began.
" Vincent (Yawns) This better be good." Yuffie threaten tiredly as he
continued.
" As most of you already know last night Zack and I brought a girl with us."
" Yeah. So… Wha's the big deal?" Cid asked.
" The 'big deal' is that when Zack followed Sephiroth to her last night. He
saw that she had a gun pointed to Skye's head –"
" WHAT! You mean she tried to kill him?!" Yuffie shouted.
Vincent sighed before continuing.
" Anyway I realize that night she had no control over her body…
So before we jump to conclusions we need to remember that what happened
last night wasn't her fault."
Everyone just stared at him confusingly, except for Cloud who looked a bit
worried about the sudden turns of events.
" Hey, Vincent what do mean by it 'wasn't her fault'?" Cloud then finally
asks.
Vincent sighed.
" Fine , but I can guarantee you won't like what you hear."
" The girl is Sephiroth's daughter by blood…"
"WHAT!" Cid exclaimed.
Cloud stared at him with complete shock.
And Yuffie turned away from him.
" I'm afraid she's been kidnapped. So I need your help to find her." He
explained.
" You go, Vincent… I don't want to have anything to do with her." Cloud
said before he walked away.
" Cloud. Wait!" Yuffie shouted as she went after him.
" You owe her!"
Cloud turned to her as she continued.
" You owe her your son's life."
He sighed.
" Fine… I'll help but only because I'm in her debt."
Yuffie turned to Vincent with a smile.
He nodded in understandment then he asked.
" Does anyone else have something to say?"
" I'm going back to bed." Cid announced.
" Oh no you don't Highwind!" Yuffie began as she started pulling back to
hallway by his shirt.
" Your going to help us look for her or else the consequences will be fatal!!"
She shouted slightly as she let go of his shirt.
"OW! What the #! did you do that for?!" Cid asked after he landed on
the hard wooden floor.
" Because Cid your going to help us and like I said earlier everything she
does it isn't her fault." He explained.
" So there! Highwind!" Yuffie then added.
Vincent smiled slightly at his wife's comment before he went to a table and
took a map to see if he can calculate their exact coordinates.
Then.
" What's with all the commotion dad?" Laura asked as she approached him.
He sighed .
" The girl you were talking last night has disappeared or more likely
kidnapped. Laura I know how much you want to help us, but I decided it
would be better if you stay here."
" No. I'm going." Laura replied with a firm tone.
"No. Laura I need you to stay here and look after the younger kids…
Understand."
" Besides I'm sure Zack will force way into coming with us."
" I'm going dad. Besides Luna can look after them."
"Laura… Your the strongest child here. So you need to stay here and look
after them. Just incase they come here and attack." Vincent explained.
Laura looked at him unsurely.
" Believe me Laura by doing this you're already helping us out more than
you know."
" Fine. I'll stay. But be careful out there alright."
Vincent nodded and he patted her head.
Then he reminded her.
" Make sure Skye stays low and out of the way if something happens … ok"
Laura nodded.
Then… " HEY! Papa if Laura's not going , I can come with you?" Luna
asked as she appeared out of nowhere.
He shook his head.
" No Luna you can't…"
" WHU! Why not?!"
" Because it's too dangerous. Especially for someone your age." He explained.
He patted her on the head and then he left the two sisters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside Denzel's house.
" Alright is everyone here?" Vincent asked .
" Yeah, Vincent everyone's here!" Yuffie shouted from behind him.
He nodded and entered the ship that Cid had brought in early that morning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the airship.
Yuffie stared out the window and sighed as the house became smaller and
smaller till it can't seen anymore.
" Be safe girls…" She whispered unfortunately Vincent heard her.
" They'll be fine Yuffie…" He reassured.
" I know Vincent but their still my little girls."
" … I know I'm worried too."
Just then Zack came in.
" Uncle Vincent , uncle Cid wants to know the coordinates."
He nodded and headed to cockpit.
Just then…
" Auuugh…" Yuffie moaned as she slowly clutched her head.
" Aunt Yuffie?" Zack called as she began to tighten the grip on her head.
" Something's … Wrong…" She manage to speak out.
" What? Aunt Yuffie?"
" Jasmine… Jenova… IT'S A TRAP!!" She said suddenly.
" JASMINE WILL TURN INTO JENOVA!!" She screamed.
Then she fell to her knees and fainted.
Luckily Zack was there to catch her in time.
" UNCLE VINCENT!! GET IN HERE QUICK!!" Zack called out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sephiroth's hide out.
Jasmine moaned and stirred.
Owwww my neck…
Then she shot up as soon as she remember about Skye.
" Huh… Where am I ?" She asked.
" Your in a safe location." A man answered.
" Safe location…?" She asked as she glared at the man.
She then realize that this not the house that she was staying.
" Where's Skye? What have you done with him?" She hissed.
" Oh… You mean the boy."
" He's back in your prison." He explained.
Just then, Loz came in to the room.
" Loz why you won't give our guest a tour?" The man suggested.
" Come on…" Loz said as he began to lead her out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere else in the hide out.
" So… Loz right? Who was that guy in there?"
" That was our brother Sephiroth."
"Oh. So why do look different from the other two?"
" I don't know mother made me this way."
" Oh…"
" So who is your mother?"
" I don't who she is, only big brother Sephiroth knows her. But I only know
about my purpose."
Jasmine looked at him with a confused expression.
" Purpose?"
" Yeah, our purpose is to take revenge on the planet and everyone else."
" But why?"
" Because the planet is trying to get rid of people like us."
Oh no I've got to get out of here Jasmine thought.
" Uh excuse me Loz, I know this a strange question but where's the
bathroom?"
" Oh next door to the left."
" Ok thanks."
And with that Jasmine ran to the bathroom hoping that there's a way out
from there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bathroom
Jasmine quickly locked the door and searched high and low for an exit.
Then…
" Great… I found one."
Jasmine looked at the window next to her and climbed.
She opened it and tried to squeeze through.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two hours later…
" Uhhhh… Well so far so good." She said to herself as she manage to get
half of her body through the window.
Until…
" Uh oh… ARRGH!." She soon realized that she was stuck.
Then she heard someone bust the door and she was pulled back in the
bathroom.
" Where on earth you think you were doing?" Sephiroth asked.
" Getting a away…"
" Yazoo get the mask."
Jasmine gasped then she screamed.
" Your not gonna away with this!!"
Loz then held her down as started kicking and screaming.
" Calm yourself girl this won't hurt at all." Sephiroth reassured her as she
brought the mask closer to her face.
" No! NO! NO! GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!"
Soon her world went black as she felt that her body was no longer in her
control.
