Extra Terrestrial

Yuffie was a princess of Wutai and it was her seventeenth birthday today. Why on Gaia would father bring her along to one of the science labs they own for business trip today! She saw her father walking ahead of her, talking to the manager in charge of this particular lab. Seeing this as her chance to escape and maybe find something fun to do, the young princess used the ninja skills she had learned in her homeland to silently escape into the shadows. She wandered aimlessly through the lab, avoiding lab assistants and security guards as she tip-toed around for about thirty minutes. Her feet soon got tired and she needed a place to sit down; she spotted a room emitting a soft glow, maybe it had some chairs for her to sit in. She walked forward and turned to enter the doorway. She didn't see any chairs but her attention was drawn away from the pain in her feet as she looked at the many test tubes that filled three-thirds of the large room when suddenly something in one of the large test tubes; a man with long black hair.

"Father never said anything about testing on humans! What are they doing to him?" Horror spiked in her voice as she raced over to the tube to get a better look. The man in the tube, suspended in pae green liquid and wearing nothing but an oxygen mask and a pair of black swim trunks, looked to be in his late twenties, had almost snow white skin, silky raven-colored hair. It took Yuffie a few moments to stop staring in horror to realize just how beautiful the man, she also suddenly realized that his left arm and hand were covered in a golden gauntlet.

"Who are you? What are you doing here…?" She placed a hand on the glass as she got closer to get a better look at him. Suddenly, as if he had heard her talking to him, the man's eyes shot open, revealing their beautiful crimson coloring. The young princess gasped at the sight, gathering the man's attention, making him turn his gaze towards her. Yuffie felt saddened as she saw the look of bewilderment and disorientation with a hint of fear in his eyes. She gently placed her other hand on the glass and smiled gently up at him.

"It's ok, don't be afraid… I'm not going to hurt you," She felt kind of funny talking to him like this, as if he was a child, she wasn't even sure if her could hear her, "My name's Yuffie, today's my birthday and for some reason my dad brought me to this weird lab." She paused and just stared up at him for a few moments when he finally did a small movement of his own; he slowly moved his clawed hand forward and pressed it to the glass in front of her hand so that if there had been no glass their palms would have met. Yuffie smiled softly again as she looked from his hand to his face, he didn't smile or frown but he did look like he was beginning to calm down.

"I wonder what your name is…? How did you get here….?"

"I can answer that, little lady." Yuffie saw the man's look up towards the new voice, a look of anger and hatred covered his face as his crimson eyes flashed to gold then back again. Seeing the emotion on his face, the little princess quickly spun around to face the new comer. A creepy looking scientist with slicked back black hair was slowly walking toward her, the disturbing man seemed to freeze Yuffie in her spot, she couldn't move to get away as he got closer. The man in the tube shifted and dragged his claws over the glass as the scientist reached out and harshly grabbed the young girl's wrist, making her let out a squeak of pain that seemed to make the crimson-eyed man very aggravated.

"His name is Vincent Valentine and he's helping me with a little experiment." The scientist let out a creepy giggle as he started to pull Yuffie away from the test tubes, "Perhaps you would like to help with one too… I have one that is in need of a young female…" Yuffie's eyes started to water from fear and the pain in her wrist as she tried to pull away, but the creepy scientist's grip was surprisingly strong. The man in test tube welled up with anger at the sight of the man he hated dragging a innocent little girl off to do who knows what with her, the strong emotion seemed to fuel his limbs which had become weak from lack of use in the disgusting green liquid. The man with the crimson eyes balled his gauntleted hand in to a fist and slammed it with as much force as he could into the glass barrier that surrounded him. The scientist and the princess abruptly turned around at the sound of shattering glass to see pieces of broken glass, green water and the raven haired man spill out onto the floor. The princess was in complete shock as was the scientist, but that emotion was quickly over come by anger as they watched the man trying to stand on tired limbs. They gave out on him a few tries, making him fall to the slippery ground but he quickly recovered the balance he had lost many months ago. The scientist started to back away, dragging the girl with him at the other man inched forward on wobbly legs. The scientist knew that the man had every intention of killing him for all the things he had done and could do so quite easily.

"H-hojo, h-how dare y-you drag that g-girl into disgusting s-snare!" Hojo knew that the only reason tat Vincent was stammering was because he was trying to find the voice he hadn't used in a long time and not from being weak spirited. The scientist frantically reached into his pocket, grabbed a scalpel and pressed it to the young girl's throat making Vincent's eyes widen in both anger and fear.

"Don't come any closer, Vincent, or the girl's lovely throat won't be so smooth for much longer..!" If there were two things that Yuffie hated, it was being week and used to hurt someone else, letting forth a growl and shoved her elbow in the doctor's stomach and found herself running to Vincent for some reason. If it were in his nature, Vincent would've smirked at the turn in the situation but his face stayed flat slate as a growl escaped his throat.

"I do not want to soil this young girl's mind eye with your bloody corpse but I will leave a reminder that I will be back for your head!" Vincent's words were hissed out as he suddenly slashed his golden claw through the air, ripping through the flesh of the scientist's face. The now disfigured man ran from the room screaming as Vincent turned to Yuffie. The young girl removed the sash from around her waist and gently took his golden hand.

"What are you doing, Yuffie…?"

"Oh, so you could hear me in there." She began to wipe away the other man's blood from Vincent's sharp claws, "That man was evil and cruel, I could feel it…. But you, not you… You feel different, calm and kind if not a little lost and distant." Vincent was shocked at her kind words. As Yuffie cleaned his claw she felt strange magnetism to the man, as if the two belonged together.

'That's just stupid, girl! You just met this guy and he's got to be a ton older than you! But I don't care, I'm a princess that never asks for much but today for my birthday I want one thing.'

"I must thank you, Yuffie, for awakening and freeing me… Is there anything I do for you?"

"Well…. It is my birthday, how about a gift!"

"A gift…? But I have no money and I do not think I have anything of value…"

"That's ok! I'm a princess; I can buy anything in the world! What I want from you is something that can't be bought."

"And what would that be…?"

"A kiss!"

"A kiss? But you do not even know me!"

"Not true, I know your name and that you broke out of a creepy test tube just to save me."

"Sigh… Fine.." Vincent leaned down to try to kiss her on the cheek but she moved her head so that their lips me. At first, Vincent thought to pull away but the spark that her soft lips brought made him only intensify the kiss. Yuffie giggled as his damp hair tickled her face and bare shoulders, she wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her small body into his arms.

"Yuffie! There you are! What in the name of Leviathan are you doing!" Yuffie rolled her eyes at her father's useless anger. She simply smirked against Vincent's mouth as she lifted a hand up and flipped off her father, giggling as she heard his shocked gasps while she enjoyed Vincent's touch.
