The Vampire and The Ninja Part 3

The Vampire and The Ninja Part 3

By Yuffie Valentine

Last time we left the two. Sephiroth just killed Godo and claimed to be Yuffie's father does he have proof? Let's find out.

"No, no, it's can't be true." Yuffie said.

"But it is. Don't you feel the feeling inside when I am near, that's you JENOVA growing in power. Don't you have the visions, the voices, and the yearning to go north? It's in you, are my daughter." Sephiroth said.

"I am, I guess I can't do anything about that. But why, why did you have to kill my other father?" Yuffie cried. She fell to here knees and wrapped her arms around her old father's neck.

"Cause he lied to you Yuffie, he told you your mother killed herself. He killed her. He saw when you had Shinra eyes, the glow in them a day after you were born. He killed her out of rage. He told everyone you were his daughter and that your mother was insain and killed herself. It is that the kind of man you wanted to call your father Yuffie. "Sephiroth asked.

Yuffie's eyes started to burn the green again. She slowly lifted off the ground and into the air. She hovered above Vincent and Sephiroth. "I don't care about what happen I just want to bring Wutia back to it's old self. Just give me the materia and I'll be happy."

"Yuffie, are you alright. Why don't you just come down from there."Vincent asked. He did not like the turn of events one bit. The woman he once loved, Lucercia's granddaughter was floating in front of him. Vincent wanted this girl to be protected now more then ever.

"Yuffie, don't listen to that man, he's evil." Sephiroth said. "Prove how much you want to be a good daughter and kill him."

"WHAT?" Vincent really didn't like this now.

"No, I can't he's my friend, my only friend." Yuffie said.

"My own daughter, prove who you love more." Sephiroth said. He smiled as Yuffie raised her weapon above her head in her fighting stance.

"No." Vincent whispered. Then he felt a thought of justice, Lucercia's own flesh and blood would free of him of the sin he tossed upon her. He stood in silence and closed his eyes. He listened, he heard the sound of the Razor Ring cut into the air. He held his breath. Waiting. The he heard it, it sounded like a rock hitting the floor. He heard it roll across the floor, then bump into to his boot. He opened his eyes and look down. Sephiroth's eyes looked up at him from his decapitated head.

"Yuffie?" Vincent said. She had came back down from the air. She turned to Vincent. Her eyes full of tears. She ran into his arms.

"I couldn't kill you, you are my only friend." Yuffie said. "My whole life I have been trying to save Wutia. I never could make friends since I was on the road. Even if I did meet someone nice, I ended up stealing from them. But you, you protected me right from the start. Why?"

"I don't know. I guess I say this young woman wanting so much for her age and wanted to help. I once didn't help a woman, and she ended up dieing. That woman was your grandmother." Vincent said.

"Wow, well, isn't this just the best day to learn the history of my family." Yuffie said.

They both got silent when they heard the boots click in the hall behind him. They looked up to see a young blonde man standing there. They both were not armed at the moment, so they didn't dare move. He had a huge sword on his back.

"What's going on here?" Cloud said, he looked around the hall. Blood. Everywhere, on the walls, the floor, even some on the ceiling. Then he looked down at two bodies. One was a man dressed in royal Wutia clothing. The other was Sephiroth. "Oh my god."

Tifa came in behind him and froze at the sight of Sephiroth's head on the floor. They only came here to find the ninja girl, but they found so much more.

"What happen here?" Tifa asked.

"I........I.....didn't mean to kill him, I didn't want to, but he killed my father and was about to kill my friend. I'm so sorry, was Sephiroth a friend of yours." Yuffie said. She knew she was going to get it for stealing the materia, but killing a friend she would really be in for it then.

Aeris walked in. Yuffie matched eyes with her. She started to get the images again in her head again, but it was not clear now. She only could see parts: a pink dress......glowing green materia............sword.........blood...........darkness.........nothing but darkness. Then it came to Yuffie, she looked up at Aeris with disbelieve. She wouldn't do that, would she?

"You don't have to be sorry, this man is evil. He had the black materia and was going to use it to destroy the world." Cloud said. "You did us a favor, now we can rest in peace."

"No we can't. This isn't the real him, this is just a jenova likeness of him made by his mind. He's already made another, and it has the black materia." Yuffie said. "Vincent , tell them nothing."

"What?" Vincent asked.

"You heard me, tell them nothing. Everything you heard stays between the three of us that heard it." Yuffie said. She turned to Aeris,"Aeris isn't it?"

"Yes it is." Aeris was in fear, this girl killed part of Sephiroth. A man who killed the President of Shinra, a swamp monster, a boat full of Shinra soldiers and sailors, a town, and back at the temple Tseng. This girl most be more powerful then they could handel.

"Hello, my name is Yuffie, I think you and me need to talk in private. Don't fear me Aeris, there is nothing you should fear from me." Yuffie said.

Aeris glanced at Cloud. He gave her a nod to say yes. And Aeris followed Yuffie into a room.

"Would you mind helping me with this mess?" Vincent asked. Cloud and Tifa nodded. They didn't know what happened and why, but they knew the girl and this man were nothing they wanted on their enemy list.

Meanwhile in the room with Yuffie and Aeris.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Aeris asked.

Yuffie pulled out the Holy materia. "I know what you are planning to do with this. And I have to say it's stupid. To risk your life is one thing, but to give it up is another. You go to that city tomorrow night like you are planning. And there is a 100% chance that you'll die."

"I know that, but there is only two people in the world who have enough power to use that materia, me and Sephiroth. And since I know he isn't going to use it, I need to." Aeris said. She had a sad look on her face.

"You don't need to cause I have a plan." Yuffie said.

A few hours later Yuffie and Aeris came out of the room. They were both crying. Yuffie gave Aeris a hug and whispered to her, " Thank you and I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too." Aeris said.

"What's going on?" Cloud asked.

"Nothing. This miss Kisengari is a very special girl. She has done us a great faovr." Aeris held up a white colored orb.

"The holy materia." Tifa said. "But why did she give it back?"

"I was fooled, I am sorry I attacked you and I am sorry I stole it. Good luck in stopping Sepiroth. Go North." Yuffie said with a smile.

"We are. And thank you. Hey, my group and I talked, we were wondering if you would like to join our team." Cloud asked.

"Thanks but no thanks, me and Vinny here have to go get some materia." Yuffie said. With a smile and a giggle. She looked around the floor. All the blood and bodies were gone. Her and Vincent walked their company to the front gate.

"Well it was nice meeting you Yuffie." The group said.

" It was nice meeting you all too. Please stop by for a free rest anytime." Yuffie said.

"I hope you find what you are looking for Cloud." Vincent said.

"I will." Cloud said and walked off into the sunset with Aeris, Tifa, Barret, Cait Sith, Cid, and Red XIII.

"Wow, they were nice people." Vincent said. "I feel really bad for what I did to them."

"Yep, hey, there is a bar in down that makes the best drinks, wanna go?" Yuffie said. "I'm allowed to drink there since my family is the ruler here, come on free drinks."

"Well, okay. After a day like this I might need some." Vincent walked through the town with Yuffie. He could see why she fought so hard for this town, it was beautiful. They walked into the bar. He heard a loud party of three in the middle. He took a look up. The TURKS.

"I can't believe he's gone." Elena sobbed. He threw back a shot. "He didn't see it coming."

"We know Elena, it's hard, Tseng was our boss, but we have to move on to find Sephiroth and make him pay." Reno said. He made more logic when he was drunk.

"...............Poor Tseng" Rude said. This was surprising for him. Two words.

"Wow, poor guys, looks like they just lost a friend." Yuffie said. "Hey bar-keep, send that party a round of drinks on the house."

"I sure will Miss Yuffie." The man said. He took a bottle of vodka over to the TURKS table and refilled all their cups.

"We didn't ask for more, we're broke, Sir." Elena said. She looked at the other two empty bottles on the table.

"Oh these are on the house, Miss Yuffie sends them to you." The bar-keep said. He pointed over to Yuffie and Vincent who were now drinking.

"Well, why don't you send Miss Yuffie to me." Reno said with a smile. He gets a slap to the back of the head.

"Have you no respect for the dead." Elena says. "I'll go thank her and we'll leave."

Elena walks over to Yuffie and Vincent. A small device in her pocket begins to beep as she draws closer. She looks. What? Why is the Jenova alert going off. The beeping gets louder as she draws closer to the girl. The girl is up to something. Then she noticed the man she is with. He is well built. His gun, that's an old TURK model of weapon. These two were something the TURKs needed to watch.

"Hello, I wanna thank you for our drinks." Elena said.

"Your welcome." Yuffie said with a smile, she was a little tipsy from her two drinks.

Elena motioned for the others and the left the bar. "I think something is up with those two, let's stay one more night here.

Back in the bar, Vincent watched Yuffie take down another drink.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Sure, hey, wanna go do something fun?" Yuffie asked.

"What do you mean by fun?" Vincent asked. He wasn't sure what to do if she plans were immoral.

"Just come with me!" Yuffie grabs Vincent's arm and yanks him off his barstool. He was really worried right now, she was drunk and wanting fun with him. Not a good thing.

She pulled him through town to a small wooded area, through there to a dirt path. "Cover your eyes." Yuffie said.

"What?" Vincent asked. He was really really starting to feel like he was doing something wrong.

"Just do it." Yuffie said. Rather then get her mad, he closed his eyes and put his free hand over them. He could feel them walking up a curvy path. It seemed like five minutes before she stopped them. "Okay open!"

He opened his eyes to the sight of Wutia, a very small one. He looked down, they were on the hand of the statues that looked over the town.

"Wow, nice view, come up here often." Vincent asked. It reminded him of his days as a TURK, seeing all the wonders of the world.

"Every night before bed. Vinny, do you feel like you owe me something or you are suppose to protect me?" Yuffie asked, she sat down on the giant hand and patted the set next to her. He sat down too.

"Well, kinda, if not for you I would still be sleeping in the coffin if the end of the world came." Vincent said.

"Well, do me a favor, turn your protection on Wutia, I might not always be around to protect it." Yuffie said.

"Why?" Vincent asked.

"No reason. Another question Vinny. You seem to know about Jenova, a person who has Jenova can never die with just a stab wound or old age ,right? So wouldn't my grandmother still be alove." Yuffie asked.

"She might be, but I doubt it, she was gone after she gave birth." Vincent said.

"Hmm, I have a good chance if i go up to fight Sephiroth, no one stab wound would kill me." Yuffie said.

"Maybe, you might not have enough to protect you in that way." Vincent said.

" Well, I guess, let's go home now. We need sleep." Yuffie said.

"Home? I might not get house to using that word." Vincent laughed.

"We'll stay in my place in town, it's a closer." Yuffie said. With smiles on their faces they walked down to her house.

"It's small, but it does the work." Yuffie said. Opening to the door, Vincent looked at a messy one-room apartment. Another thing he noticed was there was only bed.

"Yuffie, there is only one bed." Vincent said. He started to feel funny, almost excited. Or was it fear.

"That's all right, I'm leaving anyway." Yuffie said. She covered her mouth and threw a gas bomb down. The room filled with it and Vincent fell to the floor in a deep sleep. "I'm sorry Vincent, but you would only try to stop me" She dragged him to the bed and gave him a small kiss on the lips. "Goodbye"

She ran to the gate and untied the black Chocobo. She took one last look at her Wutia and rode off into the night.

Aeris made sure the rest were asleep in the Rocket Town Inn and she walked out of the town. She ran off into the night to meet the small ninja at BoneVillage.

The next morning Vincent awoke. The last events of the evening replayed in his head.

"Yuffie, what have you gotten yourself into." He reached up to feel the remaining lipstick on his lips. "Yuffie."

Cloud ran through the town of Rocket Town "AERIS!". No one had seen her all morning, she was gone. Was that dream he had with her true. He ran to get the others to go North.

Afternoon in Bone Village, a man saw a group of odd people coming up. "Oh no, first the creepy guy in the red capes now them. "Hello, can I help you?"

"Yes, we're looking for a girl called Aeris. She was last wearing a pink dress and red Jacket. Big pink bow in her hair." Cloud said.

"Oh yeah, here. Nice girl, she left for the forgotten City last night." The man said.

"Which way is that." Tifa asked.

"North through the silent woods. You going to need the Lunar Harp. Too bad that guy over there got it first." The man pointed to Vincent in front of the entrance to the woods.

"Thank you." Cloud said. He ran up to Vincent. "VINCENT!Why are you here and give us the harp."

"No, I need it to get to the Forgotten City, that's were Yuffie ran off to." Vincent said.

"Well take us with you. Aeris ran up there too." Tifa said. She had better wording then Cloud. Rather then get the harp, they could share it.

"Okay, let's Go." Vincent said and walked into the woods with the rest of them following

him.

"Why did she run off." Red XIII asked.

"I don't know, but she had it planned. She gassed me last night so I couldn't stop her. She must be up to something." Vincent said.

"I just hope we get there before anything bad happens." Cloud said.

The worked all day looking for the city, the monsters were all over the path. Vincent loved the feeling of the fight again. He needed that to charge him out of the sadness Yuffie's sudden absence had left him with. The reached the city by night fall.

"It's too dark, we'll never find Aeris in this dark." Tifa said.

"I guess you're right, we'll wait for morning, we can sleep at those houses over there." Cloud said. He wanted to look for Aeris. But no use at the moment. The group went to the house. There wasn't enough beds in one, so half slept in one. Cloud, Tifa, and Vincent slept in the other.

"Good night you two." Vincent said as he fell into sleep.

"Hey Cloud, what do you think is up between him and that Yuffie girl. They seem to have a rather close bond." Tifa whispered.

"They're teammates, just like we look out for ours, they look out for each other." Cloud said. He did notice what Tifa was talking about, but that was Vincent and Yuffie's business. "Good Night."

"Good Night" Tifa said.

Cloud was about to close his eyes when the feeling came over him. Sephiroth was near. Too near. Cloud got up and ran for the door. Tifa and Vincent awoke and followed him.

Meanwhile, Sephiroth woke up. He was floating in the blue nothingness over the secret city. He looked down at the Alter. There she was. He could see the top of her chestnut head, her pink dress, and the glowing green materia in her hands. Damn. Too late, but she would be dead soon. Killed in front of Cloud. Talking about Cloud, here he comes. Running down the stairs and up the steps to the alter. There was also the lovely Tifa. And him. The one who turned Yuffie on Sephiroth. Vincent Valentine. He would be getting his soon too.

"Raise your sword above her my puppet." Sephiroth said. Watching Cloud do so, he smiled. But then it went down. Oh no, his puppet's strings broke. Oh well, better get it done yourself.

"Aeris?" Cloud called. No response, not even a look up at him.

Sephiroth made his rapid fall. He aimed carefully. Just before the sword went in, Sephiroth got the feeling something wasn't right here. The sword slide into her body. A gasp. And her body went limp. The materia dropped from her hands and off the alter. She fell to the ground has he pulled the sword out.

"AERIS!" Cloud cried. He picked up the body. It's wig feel off. The black hair feel free to the girl's neck. Her small mako colored opened.

"Yuffie?" Vincent said. He ran up to the alter and took her from Cloud's arms. Once seeing him she smiled and closed her eyes. A small tear escaped her eye.

Sephiroth closed his eyes. This could not be happening, he just killed his only child.
