Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII.
Note: I'm getting really pissed at this, I have been trying all day long to post this damn chapter and it just won't work. I've gotten the wrong version up twice, had the document manager decide not to save changes but tell me it did, and had it ignore me when I tried to put up the new chapter four times. sigh Anyway, thanks very much, everyone who's reviewed! I really do appreciate them and I listen to suggestions.

"Why don't you fix this place up?"
Vincent looked up from his place across the table, staring at her for a moment before glancing around the room. The kitchen looked like a hurricane had hit it and no one had ever cleaned up. The paint was faded and stained from years of neglect, parts of the wall were even missing and left gaping holes through to the rotting wood beneath it. Parts of the ceiling had fallen down and lay scattered across the floor, which was also covered in dust and dirt and various other particles that really shouldn't be there.
The appliances had long ago stopped working, and as he watched a rat peeked out from a hole that had been chewed in the refrigerator door. Yuffie wrinkled her nose in disgust and he watched as she tried to ignore it and go back to poking halfheartedly at the previously canned meal. He had warmed it up over a fire and put it on a paper plate for her, since there was no running water to wash dishes with.
"What would be the point?" He asked seriously.
