This fan fiction is coming to a close! How sad! Three more chapters! No! Oh well, if I ever get any ideas, I'll make a sequel or a part 2. Of course there's still the problem of Sephiroth. Okay, I guess I'll make a second part-if you're lucky. Beg me if ya want it! XD.
Oh yes! Also, in the last chapter, for those who had read it the day I posted in up, I have changed it. I'm sorry for not replacing it sooner, but at least you know what I changed. What is UNDERLINED and in BOLD is what has been changed. I wanted to change the scene with Gackt and Yuffie. It popped into my head just as I got off my dad's computer. Okay, well there you go! And if you're too lazy to go and read it; I'll just post it on this chapter-how's that?
New Replacement for Chapter Nine:
"I…you know I really don't know. I-I want to trust him, but I…just can't. He's not like Vincent…he's evil…he can be harsh…he seems to enjoy harassing me…and well you get the point…" (Yuffie)
"Hmph, I know. Come on, I can take you back to Vincent. Or I can drag his ass up here," (Chaos)
'How can you take me back to Vincent?'
"I can transform using your body, but it would hurt. I don't want to hurt you Yuffie. Maybe I should go get him…"
---
Yuffie nodded, but then, she spoke again, 'No Chaos…I don't want to stay here. Gackt…he's messing with my mind…I…I don't want to face Vincent yet though…help me get out of here…' Yuffie bit her lip, looking at Gackt. What should she do? She felt Chaos's reluctant agreement. He was going to use her to escape.
All at once, as if Gackt had been reading Yuffie's mind, he spun around and narrowed his green eyes. It happened faster than Yuffie could comprehend. Gackt had grabbed her by the shirt and slammed her up against the wall. Her gray eyes widened in horror as she stared at him. And then she struggled to get away, grunting, about to raise her hands to punch him when Gackt hissed in her ear, "This is too easy, ninja! What are you planning?"
Yuffie gulped, cowering at Gackt, looking away so she didn't have to look him in the eye, "Nothing,"
"You are to planning something! Don't you dare lie to me, ninja. Otherwise you would have said that looking me in the eye!" Gackt snapped, his hot breath tickling Yuffie's skin and making her shutter, but it was from fear.
"Fine!" Yuffie growled, struggling in his grip. "If you want to know, I'm leaving! I was stupid to trust you! Get away from me! Get you're damned, filthy hands off of me!" she snarled, attempting to kick him, but Gackt already had her in his arms, crushing her against him as he drug her towards the door.
"You're not leaving! You promised not to and now you can't, I won't let you leave me!" Gackt snarled, his fingers digging into Yuffie's arms, making her yelp in pain, but Gackt did not seem to notice.
'She seems to have realized that she was being manipulated. How…unfortunate.' Gackt mused, trying to keep Yuffie from moving. He would not let her leave him; not unless he was killed.
Chapter Ten
(By Linkin Park)
I don't know who to trust
No surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Happy thoughts slip through dust and the lies
Tryin' not to break but I'm so tired of this to see every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet,
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between,
And trying to prove my trust towards you just takes so much out of me
Yuffie ran her fingers through Vincent's silky hair as she dug her fingers into his shoulders. She pointedly ignored everything that Chaos was saying as she allowed Vincent to deepen the kiss. And then she heard the roar of a motorcycle outside. Yuffie ignored it, taking it for someone who was just passing by. Vincent ignored it too, as if he hadn't even heard it.
'Hey Yuffie, ya know that sounded like Cloud's motor-Oh hello Cloud! Um…how's it going! Uh…Yuffie, Vincent, you two are caught. Heh-heh, tried ta warn ya!' Chaos suddenly shouted.
Yuffie's eyes snapped open and she broke away from Vincent and turned to look at the door. Uh oh…Chaos hadn't been lying. There was Cloud and Tifa, standing there in the door, staring at them. 'Um uh…Chaos…ya know, I think I preferred staying in that dark little place.'
'I bet you do!'
"Um…uh…hello," Yuffie greeted them rather awkwardly as she let go of Vincent and stepped away from him, turning red. She looked down at the floor.
"Why were you-Okay, forget that for now, how the hell did you get here Yuffie?" Cloud demanded.
Yuffie blinked, daring to look up at Cloud and Tifa. Both wore black expressions on their faces. She knew they were not going to like what she had to tell them one bit. "Um…uh…well…there's a funny story behind that," Yuffie stuttered.
"And that is…?" Cloud asked, now glaring at her. No even Vincent was looking at Yuffie expectantly.
Yuffie bit her lip, looking back down at the floor, "I-I umm…I uh…kinda…um…uh…promise you won't be mad?" she finally asked, glancing quickly up at them.
Cloud sighed, rolling his eyes, but it was Tifa who spoke up. "We won't get mad Yuffie, we're just glad you're back.
"Um…uh…okay, good then! Then I guess you won't be mad that I let Chaos use me to get away from Gackt!" Yuffie responded rather quickly, and then yelped, running for the stairs.
"YOU WHAT?" Cloud's loud voice rang through the house. That woke everyone up, including a very angry Cid.
"What the hell is goin' on here?" Cid snarled from upstairs. And then there was a loud slam and they knew Yuffie had slammed her door shut.
Yuffie lean against her door, breathing heavily. She should not have told them that! Big mistake! Big, BIG mistake! "I'm in trouble," she said bluntly to no one in particular. She knew she had woken everyone up in the bar now, but that could wait. Right now she had to hide from Cloud, and possibly Vincent and Tifa.
"Yuffie!" Cloud yelled from the stairs. Yuffie could hear Cloud's footsteps coming towards her room. She quickly switched the light off and froze, hoping Cloud would think she wasn't in her room. Of course, Cloud wasn't that naive. Just as she thought of this plan, there was a loud pounding on her door. Yuffie yelped and scrambled away from the door as Cloud growled, "Yuffie! Open the damn door!"
"No!" Yuffie shouted back. Moving swiftly away from the door.
"Open it, Yuffie," a gruff voice said from the other side of the door. Yuffie blinked. These people were NOT fair! She couldn't not open the door for Vincent cause she still had to say she was sorry!
'Hey Chaos, promise not to ever tell Vincent about what Gackt did to me?' Yuffie asked the demon.
'Maybe, if you're lucky. Oh yeah, there's a cookie in your pocket,' Yuffie couldn't help but laugh quietly at the last thing, but then nodded. 'You'd better not,' and then she went towards the door.
Yuffie opened it just a crack to see Vincent's garnet eyes looking at her without emotion. He had his golden claw stretched out to the side, pushing Cloud back without any effort at all. Quick as lightning, Yuffie grabbed Vincent by his cloak, opening the door, she yanked him inside and slammed it on Cloud and locked it. Then she turned to face Vincent, leaning against the door. "Okay, whatever you have to say, say it now,"
"First off, I wanted to say that I do not approve of Chaos using you like he does me. Yuffie, never let him do that. Chaos will kill anyone he sees and the blood will be on your hands. I will not allow you to become someone like me. Second, I want to know-is Gackt dead? And number three, we have another problem in our relationship. Cloud knows now and I know he disapproves of it greatly." Vincent spoke with a calm, yet stern tone. His red eyes never strayed from Yuffie as he spoke.
Yuffie frowned at Vincent's words, "No, Gackt isn't dead. And Vincent, I-I think that Chaos knew he shouldn't even attempt to hurt Gackt. He-he wanted to, I could feel it, but he wanted to take me back to you as soon as he could. B-but Gackt…he tried to attack Chaos and um…we left him, but we don't know where he is. And also, I think Cloud might want to know something…"
"Not now, Yuffie. Right now, because Gackt is still alive and most likely following you, we must keep low profiles-and as much as I hate to say it-we have to leave the Edge. He already knows you're here." Vincent replied bluntly, his tone dark.
Yuffie blinked, staring at Vincent. She bit her lip and spoke up slowly, "I-I…Vincent I can't just leave here! What about everyone else? Hm? And what about…I have to tell Cloud! It's important and it would be much better if he found out this way! And also…I don't think Gackt is going to come back here for a while…" Yuffie swallowed roughly, looking away from Vincent. She wanted to tell him so bad how much she had missed him; how frightened she had been; and what Gackt had done to her, but no, she could not.
"That will have to wait Yuffie. I will not risk losing you to him." Vincent growled, his red eyes narrowing.
"Vincent! I'm not going to go anywhere and anyway-aaahhhhhggrrraaaa-I'm tired and still have to tell Cloud about what Number One told me," Yuffie had yawned when she was speaking, and now as she finished speaking, she yawned again.
Just as Vincent was about to speak up again, there was a loud banging on the door. "Open. The. Damn. Door." Cloud's dangerous voice came from the other side. Yuffie looked at it with a very strange look and then shook her head and called back, "Uh! No thanks, Cloud! I think I'd rather force feed Vincent a cookie first!"
'Speaking of which…' Chaos grinned as he reminded Yuffie of the cookie she still had.
Yuffie started laughing as she imagined force feeding Vincent a cookie. But she had made a deal and now she had to complete it. "Oh yeah…I almost forgot Vincent," Yuffie said, her eyes glittering with mischief. She took the cookie that was still in its wrapper out of her pocket and unwrapped it, "I made a deal with Chaos. And part of that deal mentioned force feeding you a cookie,"
"WHAT?" Vincent gasped out, backing away from Yuffie, a horrified look on his face. Sure, he liked cookies, but usually he preferred to stay away from them just like Hellmaster tried to keep clear of the black flower.
Yuffie grinned as he grabbed Vincent by his cape. "Yep, you gotta eat the cookie," Vincent turned his face away from here, not opening his mouth as Yuffie held the cookie up in front of his face. "Eat it, Vincent, or I'll make you,"
Vincent shook his head.
"Fine then, you've decided your own fate!" Yuffie put the cookie up to Vincent's lips, trying to push it into his mouth. It didn't work. "Come on Vinnie! Eat the damned cookie! It isn't going to kill you!"
---
Cloud stared at the door, able to hear every word that was said. What the hell? Yuffie was going to try and feed Vincent a cookie? What was the world coming to? "Now where are those keys?" he muttered to himself.
A/N: XD. 'Nother evil idea.
---
"Yuffie! Get off!" Vincent said, careful to keep his head turned. Yuffie continued to glare at him defiantly as she clung to Vincent, trying to feed him the cookie. Vincent back away, but he ended up in dragging Yuffie with him.
"No! You gotta eat the cookie first!" Yuffie growled stubbornly. She leapt up on Vincent, wrapping her legs around his waist so he couldn't push her away. But as she did that, Vincent lost his balance from the added weight and fell backwards. He landed with a loud "Ooff!"
Yuffie grinned and finally shoved the cookie into Vincent's mouth. "Now eat it!" she ordered. Vincent gave her a smug looked as he pulled the cookie out of his mouth and reluctantly took a bite out of it and swallowed. "Do you like it?" Yuffie asked, grinning widely at Vincent as he finally pushed her off of him and sat up, holding the partially eaten cookie.
"It is okay, though I do not take such a great liking to sweets as you do, Yuffie," Vincent muttered, his red eyes pinned on Yuffie, glaring at her.
Inside her mind, Yuffie could hear Chaos shouting with victory of finally feeding Vincent a cookie. Yuffie laughed silently to herself as she smirked at the dark gunman. Just as Vincent picked himself up, there was a loud, "Ah ha!" and then a click and the door swung open.
Cloud stood there, holding a key a looking at Yuffie and Vincent. Yuffie's eyes instantly grew huge as she yelped and then hid behind Vincent, clutching his cape and peeking over his shoulder at Cloud. Their eyes met and she yelped again and hide her face from the chocobo-haired man. "Yuffie…" Cloud sighed, "I just want to know; why and how did you allow Chaos to take over your mind like that?"
Yuffie didn't speak, still hiding behind Vincent. Vincent, however, stepped aside, feeling Yuffie's fingers slip away from his cape as he went and sat down on her bed, looking at both of them without emotion. "I would like to know, Cloud, since when was the demon any of your problem to deal with when you know nothing about it?"
'How dare you disrespect me by calling me an 'it'! I have a gender just like everyone else-except Hellmaster-it doesn't count! I am a male for I do not wish to disgrace myself by calling myself a 'man' because that would mean I am a mortal, and I AM NOT a damned mortal like you!'Chaos jeered.
'Shut up…' Yuffie growled in her mind, but outside, she was still cowering before Cloud. What was she supposed to say to him? Nothing…he had no right to question her! Yeah! Just like Vinnie had told him!
"Ever since Yuffie became involved in all of this!" Cloud snapped back, his Mako blue eyes flashing with anger.
"I have a right to use whatever method possible to get away from that damned rapist don't?" Yuffie all but shouted, and then turned away from Cloud and Vincent, fuming with anger and despair. Now what was she supposed to do? Manipulation from a freak was enough to worry about, and now she had to face a pissed off Cloud…wonderful. And above all, Yuffie was very tired.
'I see you are having a little…problem, ne? It was bound to happen, Yuff, you know it was,'
'Oh great! Now I'm hearing Gackt's voice in my head! Wait…that's a bad thing…'
'I think it's a wonderful thing! You can thank Sephiroth for teaching me this skill, although he uses it on his little puppet failure,'
"Sephiroth!" Yuffie shouted. "Oh yeah! I forgot! Hey, Cloud, Sephiroth and Aeris are married!" Yuffie turned to look at Cloud. He was staring at her as if he didn't believe her.
"Yeah right, stop changing the subject," Cloud growled.
"But I'm not!" Yuffie protested. "Number One told me that…" Yuffie's voice trailed off.
'I know where you sleep Yuff,' Gackt said in her mind, a mischievous note in his voice.
Yuffie jumped, her eyes growing wide with horror. "Rapist!" she shouted. Vincent and Cloud were looking at her with strange expressions on their faces.
'That wasn't nice, but I'd be more than happy to become one if you want me to,'
Now Yuffie yelped out in terror and rushed over to Vincent, wrapping her arms around his neck and clinging to him for dear life. "Vinnie! Help me!" she panicked, burying her face into his chest, "He's coming for me, Vinnie!" she cried.
A/N: Okay…Gackt REALLY scares me now! He scare you readers too? I know he scares you Nightfire45! I can see you now-screaming your heart out-and then laughing. XD. But you'd better not do that in my ear when I call you woman! I'll smack you in the head for it! (we're best friends peeps! Yep! 'Cept she's crazy!)
"Who?" Cloud asked.
"Me,"
A/N: Boy what a busy day! I'd hate to live the life of my fan fictions! Yep! Damned stupid stalker Gackt. XD. Well, back to Aeris and Sephiroth! And then Lucrecia and then Hojo and then some random teenager and then an illegal block party and then…wait…where did this come from? And whoever said anything about HOJO?
---
Aeris glared at Sephiroth as he hoisted Elmyra over his shoulder and began carrying her out the door. "Where do you think you're going, Seph?" Aeris snapped angrily.
"To visit Strife, and seeing as you do not wish to leave your mother in her condition, I'm bringing her with me." Sephiroth responded.
"Yeah but it's 2:00 in the morning!"
"And when did I ever care?"
"Oh…I guess never,"
---
Yuffie's eyes widened and she raised her head to look over at the window. Her stormy eyes found the man standing-or rather sitting-on her windowsill, grinning at her, green glittering. "Thought you could lose me that easily, did you?" Gackt smirked as Yuffie clutched Vincent all the harder. Vincent seemed to blink and tried to pry Yuffie off of him, but his crimson eyes never left Gackt.
"I see my bullet wound had no effect on you, did it?" Vincent growled, his red eyes narrowing as he finally pulled Yuffie off of him and drew his gun.
Gackt merely looked at him, the smirk never vanishing from his face. Then, the clone turned away from Vincent and Yuffie and spoke, "Hey Strife, did Yuffie tell you that Aeris and Sephiroth are getting married? Funny story too! Number One tricked him into getting married to Aeris!" Gackt laughed softly. Cloud seemed unfazed, but he tensed, a nerve twitching in his eye.
"Shut up," Cloud growled.
Yuffie knew both men would be trying to rip Gackt to pieces any minutes now. 'Well if they're going to kill him-they need to hurry up!' Yuffie thought, her eyes resting on Vincent and his gun. 'Shoot him! Shoot him now!' Yuffie screamed mentally. No such luck.
"Yuffie," Gackt began, turning his Mako eyes on her.
"Don't you say a word to Yuffie!" Vincent threatened, the gun aimed directly at Gackt's head.
Gackt merely ignored Vincent and continued, "I want to know: Why the hell did you leave?"
Yuffie glared at Gackt with narrowed eyes. He should have known why she had left. 'HELLO! You were manipulating me! Dumb ass…' "I think you know the answer to that, Gackt. Either that, you're really stupid. Chaos made me realize what I was doing. He broke that spell of that manipulation materia you used on me!"
Now Gackt frowned for an instant, but then his eyes narrowed and he smirked at her, "But Yuffie, that wasn't me. It was…a gift from a friend-Number One in fact."
"Get out," the dark and gruff voice of Vincent broke the silence that had fallen after Gackt's words.
Gackt shrugged, "I was planning to leave anyway, just wanted to ask Yuffie that," And then he was gone-Gackt had jumped out the window.
"I felt ready to kill him!" Cloud growled, glaring at the spot where Gackt had been.
"Feel free to do so anytime you want!" Yuffie yelped, careful to keep from looking at the window. "Oh and um…Cloud…Gackt wasn't lying about Aeris and Sephiroth…they really are married,"
Cloud screamed and burst out into tears.
A/N: XD. Poor Cloud. Sorry it took so long to update. School is unbelievable! I've had so much work to do lately! Well, there you go! Three more chapters and the stories finished! So far I have: 0 reviews for a sequel. 27 reviews that this a really good fan fic. Thanks everyone! I may just make a Part 2 added onto this cause I can! This will soon be my longest fan fiction yet!
