Recap:

Chaos roared at her in anger, how dare she think to order him around! He tightened his grip wonder what he should do to make her suffer when suddenly a surge of power came from within him. Snarling he hissed as he felt his control over his container begin to be ripped away from him starting with dropping the girl he had been about to kill.

He staggered back as his body began to shift and all control over Vincent was lost and he found himself thrown in a mental cage along with the Hell-Masker and Gallian Beast. He roared in rage trying to regain the control he had only had moments ago but the cage he had been thrown in did not waver and Vincent Valentine sunk to the ground panting while the girl now lay on the floor gasping for breath as she held onto her throat massaging it to try and grasp more air into her straining lungs.

Chapter 13: Forgiveness

Sakura coughed desperately as she continued to try and massage her throat her shoulders shaking as her adrenaline high waned and her muscles weakened. Coughing again she pushed up onto her knees lifting her head weakly she stared at him, "Y..you okay?" she gasped out.

Vincent's head snapped up looking at her incredulously.

She smiled, "You could have told me you were a demon container… would've saved me some trouble." she commented standing now removing her hand from her neck to reveal a large hand shaped bruise already forming upon her pale skin.

He cringed, "Why?" he asked now looking at the darkening bruise. "Why aren't you running?"

She raised a brow, "Why? Well two of my friends had demons sealed inside of them when they were babies. I was nearly killed by both, one multiple times. So I kinda got used to it."

Vincent looked at her incredulous, "They had demons sealed in them?"

"Yes… Naruto… my best friend, his demon, Kyuubi the nine tailed fox demon." Sakura said looking thoughtful, she then walked to him an kneeled down, "I don't blame you. Like I never blamed Naruto, or Gaara."

He stared at her his eyes wide in shock, how could she forgive him? When he had just nearly killed her when he lost control. He would have killed her, but she now kneeled before him telling him she would have forgiven him on the spot. She wouldn't have run away screaming or shied away but instead she would patch herself up and brush it off. He couldn't believe it.

Sakura smiled at him putting her hand on his shoulder, Vincent tensed as he stared at her, "Don't look so shocked, I'm the one who's already died once." she said before hauling him up and heading for the doors, "Well let's go?" Still incredulous he followed as Sakura lead him from the old church their shoes crunching on the cracked pavement as they made their way out of the slums.

It wasn't long until the thumping of feet was heard and a blur of brown suddenly rocketed into Sakura sending her stumbling backwards and Vincent to reach for his Cerberus. Eyes wide Sakura yelped as she just barely caught herself from tumbling to the ground. "Wh-what the?"

"YOU HAD ME SO WORRIED!" the blur cried angrily and Sakura blinked as she realised that it was Yuffie who had flew into her, "I thought you were dead!" she stepped back with an angry huff.

Sakura chuckled, "I told you I wouldn't die." she told her, "I'm not that pathetic."

Yuffie grinned, "Well obviously!"

Sakura smiled, then turned back to Vincent, "You should probably go with your friends." she told him.

He looked shocked, as did Yuffie, "What are you talking about?" Yuffie questioned

Sakura shrugged, "When I was found, you and your friends… you were looking for somebody. Obviously I have hindered that obligation. But I have what I need for now, and I think I should let you get back to that, I have after all stalled your progress a good number of days." she explained.

"Yeh've got that right!" a booming voice suddenly said. The three turned and looked toward the voice to see Barret along with the rest of the group coming toward them. "Yeh've set us back a number of days and caused a lot of trouble." he continued.

Sakura raised a brow, "I never asked you to come… You just sent Vincent after me, then proceeded to follow as well." She answered.

He scowled at her, "So yer gunna go off on yer own now? You think you can handle it?"

"I'm sure." Sakura answered flashing a smile at them as she nodded to Vincent then Yuffie, "But I must really be off. Lots of reading to do." she said raising her hands in a katsu seal then too their surprise she was gone with a poof of smoke.

"Where did she go!?" Barret cried.
