THE MORE REVIEWS COME THE FASTER I SHALL UPDATE!!!

In the Previous Chapter:

"Stop it will your riddles!!"

"The world is undeniably an unsolved mystery, hence chance after chance shall represent itself throughout history, though thy must grasp our few opportunities in life, we only have this time to live without strife."

"Huh? What's that all about? AND I SAID NO MORE RIDDLES!!"

"It's the message inside the letter. Though without the Anonymous part in the bottom."

"H-HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHATS INSIDE?! IT'S NOT EVEN OPEN YET!!"

"Who do you think send it?"

"....... Huh?"

That was my genius response. I was staring up at the love of my life, standing right in front of him, and he had just basically confessed that he was the one that sent me all of those anonymous love letters, all of which had caused me to become addicted to a new book (Twilight) and to join the Girls Basketball team!! And THAT ONE WORD was my response?! Genius. Pure genius. Huh. The new word of the my life.

"W-What are you talking 'bout Vince?" I faked a small laugh, "Stop kidding around."

"I'm not joking."

"About what?"

"About the letter."

"L-Let me get this straight," I said, inhaling a deep gust of breathe, "Y-You knew about the letters?!"

"Yes."

"For how long?" I tried to stay calm, watching him the entire time. Analyzing his reactions.

"Since day 1."

That did it. Those 3 words did it.

"........NANI?!" I screeched.

I looked straight into his eyes, searching, searching for that glimpse of light or awareness that would have told me if he was lying, it should be flashing through his eyes if I ever made eye contact with him.

But I couldn't find it.

But it wasn't there.

So..... he was telling the truth. He had to be.... Otherwise.... It would have been there.... That glimpse of light would have been there.....

"Y-You knew?"

"Yes."

"But you never said anything."

"Yes."

"W-Why didn't you tell me?! Why didn't you tell me that you knew?! WHY?!"

Walking past me with calculated steps, he took one step too many, it was so he would be just out of my line of sight, causing me to turn 15 minute clockwise to face him or to see him at all.

Which I did.

"That's why the word Anonymous exists." He said, with his back still towards me.

"W-Wait.... Vince, I-I don't understand." I helplessly say.

Turning around all the way, I could only come have ever just faced his back, I tried to understand what he was saying to me, I tried to decipher the puzzle behind it all, piece them all back together. I couldn't understand what he was saying to me. My train of thought had just stopped working all together. Everything went in one ear and out the other. The only thing I could think of to explain my action was this.

I was exhausted.

That was the only excuse I could think of to explain why I couldn't think. As well as why I couldn't focus on anything in specific at all, now that I think harder about it.

For today, I had been playing and practicing Basketball for 6 hours with a short 5 minute breaks in-between 10 times, before that I was running a normally 30 minute long walk and I turned that into a 5 minute sprint, not to mention the lack of sleep that I've been containing these past few days for thinking where that stupid letter disappeared off to or about the letter in general and the clues behind it all.

I couldn't think anymore.

I was getting a headache for thinking about all of this.

I was so tired.

Too tired.

For anything.

Looking up once more to get a better view of him, I only just realized something: I couldn't see it clearly.

I couldn't see properly anymore.

My eyes.... My vision... It was going blurry.... But..... Then..... At this rate.... I was going to.....

Slightly falling for, I felt my body start to loose conscience right then and there, I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening. I didn't even try. Closing my eyes slowly, I started to expect that I would hit the wooden floor board beneath me within seconds. It was a logical thought though wasn't it? When you're standing on hard wood floor and falling forward, you expect to land on it as well don't you?

But........

For some reason......

It never came..........

In its place, I felt a pair of strong pair of arms wrap itself around my waist. Catching me from underneath. And bringing me closer to a warm awaiting body. Taking in deep breathes, I could smell a faint trace of cinnamon, it smelled heavenly and delicious. Smiling softly at the thought, I wrapped my arms around my saviour for support so I wouldn't fall any further..... my hero.... Smiling wider at the thought, I needed to get one look at his... or her.... face. So that I could properly thank him/her, for doing this for me.

Opening my eyes while taking in deep breathes of air, I could see a warm torso right in front of me in a faded black T-Shirt, so it was a chest I was leaning against. It has to be a guys chest!! No way it could be a girl's... after all..... it was flat.... and it felt.... very well toned as well.... Damn it... I was starting to loose conscience FAST.... Looking farther up, in hopes to see his face, I saw Vincent's face....

Vincent...

He was looking straight into my eyes, and I could see the worry and concern in them. Smiling softly I whispered, "I'm okay..." With that I tried to get up and to enact my words, so not to give him a reason to think that I was lying. To prove that I really AM alright and not just saying it. My knees were kneeling on the ground, and I tried to use the last shred of strength I had left to get up. They were numb though. I could hardly feel them...

But........

Somehow, I did it.

Somehow, I found it inside me to stand up.

With Vincent's support, I got up on both feet and with my head held high, although... I still felt a bit dizzy.... and I still couldn't see straight... occasionally....

"Don't worry... I'm fine." I tried to say again, to reassure him and to make him stop worrying about me, even smiling weakly at him to try and prove it.

It had the opposite effect.

Squeezing my shoulders tightly, he started to shake me violently and without mercy, he made me look straight into his eyes by lifting my chin up and bringing his face closer to mine. His eyes had a menacing and dark look in them, and for once I couldn't breathe properly.

I was scared.

I was speechless.

I was spell-bound.

"V-Vince? W-What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" he breathed those 2 words, but for some reason, it was the most menacing thing I ever heard in my entire life, "What's WRONG?!" He repeated again, emphasizing the final words with more stress, "What's wrong is that you have to keep lying that you're fine and pushing yourself and trying to make everything okay when it's clearly not!! Stop pushing yourself already Darn it!!"

Speechless once more, I looked up at his face, once more with wide eyes in sheer amazement and fear, this was the most I've heard him say in a long time. He was usually a man of few words, using actions to speak rather than words. And the WAY he said it.... it left an unsettling chill down my spine that I couldn't shake off easily, if at all.

"Gomenasai." I murmured under my breathe, looking down to my feet as if something caught my interest. I felt like a child being scolded by the parent. There was no other response that I could give to him. Or at least there were none that I could think of.

"Do you think that saying 'Sorry' is enough?!" He said through gritted teeth. Shaking my now-weak body once more. I quivered under his touch.

Looking at the ground, I tried to hold back the now threatening tears that were about to spill. Why was I reacting this way towards him? Why was he reacting this way towards ME?! He kept saying that we were friends!! And now... now... I don't understand this, I just don't understand anything anymore. Why is he making things so complicated?!

"I-I don't understand." I muttered. A futile attempt to redeem myself. Well.... not entirely, I was getting a huge headache in no time. The tears which I tried to stop were seeping past now.... and it didn't take him long to notice it.

As sudden as the movement was, I felt blood rush back throughout my arms and I squeezed my eyes at how much that hurt for that brief second. He had stopped squeezing my shoulder, and dropped his hands.

"Sorry."

Silence.

I didn't need to look up to know that Vincent said that. I didn't need to look up to know that he wasn't looking at me anymore. I didn't need to look up to know that he was sorry, let alone hear him say it. I didn't need to know that he felt ashamed for what he did either.... It was obvious. We could never really hide anything from one another.

"It's okay." I whisper in response. Whatever dark cloud was there between us, it seemed to have passed. I didn't want it to linger any longer. Looking up at him, I let out a smile to reassure him that it really was alright.

Taking one step forward, I dropped my head onto his chest and closed my eyes. I was so tired... I could barely stand anymore... And he was so warm... The tears already stopped... There was no point for them anymore...

As soon as my head landed on his chest, I once more could feel those familiar strong arms wrap themselves around me and pull me closer to him. With that my body instinctively wrapped my arms around him as well, pulling myself closer to him, letting his warmth spread through me. Resting my head against his shoulder blade I breathe in the scent of him.

It was so relaxing.

Such a soothing smell.

I didn't need to think of anything else at that moment.

I didn't need anything else at that moment if I were being honest.

At that moment, I was perfectly content.

"You don't need to do anything, Yuffie." He breathed into my ear.

And I believed him.

Like a foolish girl in love for the first time, I believed him.

That was the last thing I could remember though.

After that...

My mind...

Went blank....
