"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know." Yukimura pointed out.
"The kids I killed. They possessed the animatronics and that Marionette was the one who told them of the boarded up safe room in which I was hiding in. Basically I tried hiding in the golden bunny suit in the room and well I didn't know how to work the damn thing. And crunch, snap, pain shooting through my body as the springlocks collapsed killing me, by basically squishing me and impaling me. I died slowly, painfully, calling out for help in hope. I was left to rot away in that room in an eternal hellish cage. Unable to move on, stuck to suffer for the rest of time." Vincent growled and then sounded saddened.
"Ow. Sorry that happened to ya. I wouldn't wish that kind of fate on anyone." Yukimura said sadly, patting Vincent on the back.
"It's fine I should have guessed my ending would be just as painful as my life had been." Vincent said sounding like he was on the verge of tears.
"It's okay. At least you're free of that. You don't have to feel it anymore. You're free to leave." Yukimura tried to comfort Vincent.
"I can only be truly freed once those kids are and if they forgive me for what i've done. Which I doubt they will. There kids, and i've done them wrong. Why would they forgive me. I wouldn't blame them" Vincent sighed with a slight whimper.
"You've suffered probably double what they did. You've paid for what you did, and it happened years ago. Any evidence that isn't preserved is probably long gone. And there's no point in vengeance now. They get nothing out of it." Yukimura said.
"Who knows maybe they'll forgive me maybe they won't either way the rest of my fate lies with them." Vincent said weakly.
"The worst part I think is that now I understand why I did it. When I did that to them I didn't understand. I was just like a child and seeing them look so happy when all my life I had suffered angered me. Now I understand but I really don't blame people for calling me a murder or killer because it's not like i'm innocent. No I did it. It was me no one else can take that blame. I was the one who messed with the animatronic fox who caused that bite of 87 and almost killed Mike. I was the one who killed those five kids. There blood's on my hands. I just wish I could make it up to them somehow" Vincent said sniffling and wiping away a few tears.
"It's okay. It's all over now. I don't blame you. Those kids, they're just blind. They need help seeing the truth of their ways." Yukimura said gently.
Vincent looked at Yukimura and gave a smile even if tears fell down his face. "Thanks for listening kid. No one ever listened before." Vincent said.
"No problem. It's my job to listen." Yukimura chuckled, patting Vincent on the back. "I'm sorry for the stuff i've been saying these five years. I've been blindly hating you without knowing you. But I see I was wrong for that now. I'm sorry." Yukimura apologized, sounding very sincere in his words.
"It's alright. Words don't really hurt anymore." Vincent shrugged.
"Tell you what. I'll be your friend then." Yukimura said with a smile.
Vincent looked surprised. "Even after everything i've put you through?" Vincent said
"Even after all that. Knowing you now, I can see your reasoning now, and I understand. So I want to be your friend, since you don't have any." Yukimura said with a smile.
Vincent's surprised look faded away to a happy expression. "Thank you" Vincent said with a happy smile.
"Any time." Yukimura said with a big grin. "Now, since Kojuro's gone, it should be safe for the cake." Yukimura said, pulling Vincent up and pulling him to the kitchen, unlocking the bedroom door. Vincent chuckled and followed. "It's been forever. I've forgotten what cake actually tasted like" Vincent said.
Yukimura pulled the cake out of the container with a grin, cutting a piece off and putting it on a plate, handing it to Vincent. Vincent took the plate with a nod and just looked at it.
"Well? I know it looks nice but you're supposed to eat it." Yukimura laughed.
"Right, sorry" Vincent laughed "I just figured there was something to eat it with still"
Yukimura snapped his fingers, pulling out a fork and handing it to Vincent as he cut his own piece. Vincent took the fork and took a bite out of his piece of cake. As he bit down through, his teeth met something metal inside the cake. Vincent had a slightly confused expression took the metal thing out from the cake. there was a small, elegant dragon ring, with gems all across the body and slightly covered in crumbs.
"Huh?- oh. You, uh, found the ring." Yukimura blushed, seeing Vincent with the ring.
"Is that normal?" Vincent asked looking at the ring.
"Ah, no. It was, uh, meant for Masamune. You know, wedding party and all." Yukimura said, his face red in a blush. "Hopefully we won't be making the jump straight from friends to husband." Yukimura chuckled nervously.
"Ah I see. Uh I wish you guys better luck than my own" Vincent smiled awkwardly. "I doubt it" Vincent laughed.
"We'll see. I prefer to think of it as more skill than luck." Yukimura chuckled, taking the ring. "Ah good. I was worried you and Masa might have been a package deal or something." Yukimura chuckled.
Vincent smiled. "Nah I just happen to be baggage you have to deal with" Vincent chuckled.
"Nah. You're just a house guest." Yukimura chuckled, looking at the clock and running to the bedroom, pulling his police belt off the hook and putting it on. "Now if you'll excuse me, we living people have jobs." Yukimura chuckled, putting on his belt.
"Oh already time for you to go? Guess that mean's I have to go back to that damned cage and terrorize the night gaurd" Vincent sighed.
"Well, just think of me while you're in there. And try to think of Masa as a friend of a friend." Yukimura chuckled. "My friends are your friends. And I have a lot of friends..." Yukimura said.
"I will. That doesn't mean I can slack on my job as a haunted animatronic" Vincent chuckled. "I would say that but you and your friends are my only friends."
"Of course not." Yukimura chuckled. "Springtrap slacking on the job? What has the world come to?!" Yukimura chuckled. "Well then you've pretty much got half of Japan as your friends then. Or at least half the city. Plus if you want I can consider you family. I don't have parents, but I have a brother, Nobuyuki." Yukimura offered. "Kojuro's pretty much my uncle. And Ieyasu and Chika are pretty much my extended bros."
Vincent chuckled. "Wow suddenly i'm not so alone. Who knew i'd only have to make a friend somehow. Only if you want to, some family is better than no family to consider." Vincent said.
"You kidding? Me and Nobuyuki need all the family we can get. We're pretty much the last in our line." Yukimura chuckled. "So you'll be... Sanada Vincent! Has a ring to it." Yukimura said happily.
Vincent smiled happily. "An actual family who'll actually care. Has an amazing ring to it" Vincent said
"Sanada family is a great name. It's a big name to uphold though. But that's why you have me and Nobuyuki." Yukimura chuckled. "And one thing a Sanada never does, is leave a clan member or an ally behind." Yukimura said with a big smile.
"I think I can hold it up" Vincent smiled. "But enough dilly dally you don't want to be late." Vincent said.
"Oh! Right!" Yukimura chuckled, embarrassed as he waved and ran out the door, grabbing his coat on the way out. Vincent waved back and looked back at the cake. "if only I could actually remain in this stable state of mind" Vincent sighed taking a bite out of the cake piece. The answering machine started to beep, announcing a new message from Nobuyuki. Vincent jumped at the beep "Phone guy w-what - oh no just an answering machine I got to stop doing that" Vincent sighed.
"Hey Yuki! Hey Masa! So, uh, i'm going to be coming up a bit early. There's something I need to talk to you about, Yuki. It's something about Mom. Uh, anyway, if you two don't mind, i'll be coming up in about... 2 maybe 3 day's time, so i'm going to need some preparations? Thanks! Bye!" A voice said, sounding similar to Yukimura's voice, but the tone was deeper and strangely both deep and immature at the same time.
"Was that Nobuyuki that Yukimura was talking about? Hmm… it'd probably be best if he came in three days time." Vincent said standing up from the table and grabbing his unfinished piece of cake. The phone machine beeped again, announcing another message, yet again from Nobuyuki. Vincent jumped again at the beep and almost dropped the plate and cake the fork falling to the ground. "Graceful me just graceful" Vincent grumbled.
"Hey Yuki! It's me again. So, change of plans. I'll be up in 2 days. Sorry for the short notice, but this is something big. Mom left you something huge, and i'm not allowed to look, so I thought i'd bring it up to you and we look together." Nobuyuki's voice said, sounding gravely serious.
Vincent sighed and opened the fridge and place the plate inside and closed the door picking up the dropped fork and walked over to the answering machine. "I can at least tell him that it would be better if he came in three days." Vincent said picking the phone up and clicking on the redial button and saw the name Sanada Nobuyuki in the list and clicked call. holding the phone to his ear and walking over to the sink and glancing up at the wall clock. "Okay I have five hours before twelve I can do the dishes for them" Vincent said. There was a beep, signaling Nobuyuki had picked up.
