The Vampire and the Ninja Part 4

The Vampire and the Ninja Part 4

By Yuffie Valentine

Sephiroth looked down at Yuffie. He should have known she would try something like this. All he could do now was hope she had enough JENOVA in her to bring her back. He watched as her body started to twitch and shake.

"Yuffie, Yuffie, wake up." Vincent said, he had a few tears crawling down his face." Just open your eyes, come on."

She opened them, but not to a sight he wanted to see, they were that greenish blue color again. She untangled herself from Vincent and stood up. Her face was blank, no emotion.

"So the JENOVA is strong enough." Sephiroth said. He smiled. She was going to sto being such a brat and listen to him now. When her body cells die and Jenova cells replace them, she would be more open to Sephiroth's mind control. Just like Cloud, she too, would be a puppet.

"It hurts." Was all Yuffie said. The wound in the front had already healed, but the one in the back remained open. From this wound to thin bone like sticks came out. They formed into to arches. Beautiful white and green feathers grew in, making to perfect wings.

"Hmm, very nice, an angel of death." Sephiroth said.

"What's happening to me." Yuffie said. She feel to her knees holding her head.

"What are you doing to her Sephiroth." Cloud said. "How did you make her grow wings, what did you do to her!?"

"I did nothing. Like father, like daughter." Sephiroth said.

"She's your what?" Cloud said. He looked at Yuffie. It all came clear. She was the only one able to beat Sephiroth cause she was equal. No wonder she had enough power to use Holy. It all came clear.

"Yes my daughter." Sephiroth said. "She is now under my control." He gave Yuffie a hug. She seem to hug back. This made Vincent sick. First Sephiroth takes Lucercia, now Yuffie.

"I'm not under your control." Yuffie said, she grabbed the blade from Sephiroth's hand. She backed up a few steps and drove it into his heart.

Sephiroth looked down at the sword and laughed. "How many times are you going to kill before you figure out that you can't do it dear child. But fine play your games and have fun killing this useless body." He pulled the blade out and the wound healed itself. He smiled and handed the sword back to Yuffie.

"I hate you. You killed my father and you won't leave me alone." Yuffie yelled.

"You forgot, I am your father." Sephiroth said. Yuffie's eyes filled with tears. She took the blade and turned point to the skin above her heart.

"No Yuffie. Don't do it. " Vincent said. He walked up to her and took the sword away. She hugged Vincent. Tighter then she had ever hugged anyone. She had almost forgot that she would be leaving him behind if she killed herself.

"I'll be leaving now, I'll let Jenova play with you." Sephiroth flied up into the sky, dropping one a part a Jenova behind him. Before it could even hit the floor Yuffie's Razor Ring got it.

"Now what do we do?" Tifa asked.

"I don't know." said Vincent. He looked to Cloud for an answer, but all he could see on Cloud's face was anger. The look like he was going to kill. Cloud's eyes were locked on Yuffie.

"Yuffie, I think we better be going." Vincent said. "You're not safe here."

"Why not? Father's gone now." Yuffie said.

"Father? But anyways, I think it would be best if you got out of here." Vincent said. Taking a glance at Cloud, he could see Cloud had his hand on the handle of his sword. Tifa seemed to notice this too, yet the only thing she did was ready her gloves. She now too was looking at Yuffie.

Yuffie saw the signs of anger on the two and started to back up. They started coming in closer. Vincent stepped in the way.

"What has gotten into you two." Vincent said. He pulled out his gun.

"She's Sephiroth's daughter. Sure she might seem alright now, but one day she is going to crack. She's too dangerous to have living." Cloud said. His sword was now in front of him and he was in fight stance.

"She's not dangerous, she's killed him twice." Vincent said.

"Look at her, she has wings Vincent, she has to be stopped before it's too late." Tifa said.

"Enough talking." Cloud yelled. Him and Tifa charged. Cloud jumped high in the air over Vincent and landed in front of Yuffie.

"Please, I don't want to fight or hurt you." Yuffie said. She put her arms in front of her to protect her. Cloud lifted his sword and brought it back down on Yuffie. She tried to jump out of the way, but it caught her. With two large thuds her wings hit the floor. The wounds on her back turned into two small scars in a matter of second.

"Leave her alone." Vincent yelled. He was too busy fighting of Tifa to help Yuffie, he only prayed she would fight back just a little.

"I don't want to fight." Yuffie cried again. She sat on the floor, holding her back. Looking back at her wings she smiled, she didn't like them anyways.

"I'm sorry, but this has to be done." Cloud lifted again. Yuffie didn't move. He closed his eyes and brought it down. Instead of the sound of metal cutting through flesh, it was the sound of metal clashing with metal. Cloud opened his eyes to see a very pissed off Aeris standing in front of him, her staff had caught his sword.

"How dare you Cloud." Aeris said.

"What?" Cloud asked. Aeris hated Sephiroth as much as the next, why was she protecting his daughter.

"If I wasn't for Yuffie, I would be lying dead on the alter. She didn't even know for sure if she could be saved by the Jenova, yet she went up and placed her life on the line to summon Holy.

"Aeris, I am very thankful, but we can't take the chance." Cloud said.

"We can and we will." Aeris said.

Cloud looked at her. He sighed and put his sword away. Vincent and Tifa stopped fighting. Yuffie looked up at Aeris and smiled.

"Oh Yuffie, I'm so glad you're alive." Aeris hugged the girl, " You were so brave."

"Thank you for giving me the chance." Yuffie said. She walked over to the pound where the Holy materia fell in. She reached in and picked it up. She hugged it to her.

"Yuffie, I want you to keep a close eye on that." Aeris said.

"I will." Yuffie said.

"Now it's late. Why don't we get some sleep? " Aeris said. They went back up to the City. The rest were awake and looking for them.

"AERIS! We found you." Cid said. The others in the group walked up and hugged her.

"And Vincent found Yuffie." Cait Sith said.

"Yep, he did." Tifa said. She glared at Yuffie. This girl was their most hated enemy's flesh and blood. Yet among them, she was treated as a friend.

"Yuffie and Vincent, you two should stay here till morning, just to be safe." Aeris said. Yuffie liked this woman, she was so nice. Almost like a sister. But she knew that wasn't true.

"Okay." Vincent said. He put his arm around Yuffie when he saw Cloud glaring again. She relaxed and placed her head on his shoulder. She felt more safe with Vincent then anyone else. He was made to watch over her. Little did he know, Yuffie also watched over him.

"There is a house up the left path where you two can stay, we'll be in the houses to the right." Aeris said. She looked at Cloud and Tifa who were still looking genuinely pissed at Yuffie.

"Goodnight everyone." Yuffie said. She quickly pulled Vincent up the Left path. The rest walked off to their houses. When they were out of earshot Yuffie started to talk.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you what I was doing that night in Wutai. I just had to make sure that nothing got in the way. I never new you would follow me up here." Yuffie said.

"I guess it's okay, it all worked out and you're okay now. You just gave me one hell of a scare back there. I thought I would never talk to you again." Vincent said.

"I was thinking the same thing, that's why I wanted to talk to you that night before." Yuffie said. She looked up at the house they had arrived at. "Wow! What a dump."

"It's not that bad." Vincent said.

"Well, I guess it'll do for a night. Then tomorrow we are off." Yuffie said.

"Where are we going?" Vincent asked.

"Vincent, I almost died back there, I need a vacation. We could go to Costa de Sol, you could use a tan. And what better place to get one then 'The coast of the Sun', what do you think." Yuffie asked.

"I don't like sun that much." Vincent said. He wasn't a big fan of the heat.

"How about the snow village, it's close. Not too much sun and plenty of fun." Yuffie asked.

"Sure, that sounds fine." Vincent said. They stepped into the house. And once again Vincent got that weird feeling again. There was only one bed. He started to turn colorless.

"What's wrong Vincent?" Yuffie asked, "Ya look like ya say a ghost."

Why isn't she stressing about the bed. Unless, she is planning to run off again. "Yuffie, you aren't planning anything are you?" Vincent asked.

"Nah, I'm to worn out to plan anything." Yuffie said. "Why?"

"Nothing." Vincent said.

"Gawd, you're so uncommunicative. I know how to get something to come out of that mouth." Yuffie said. She took off her battle gloves. An evil smile spread on her face. She came closer to Vincent.

"What are you doing?" Vincent asked. That weird yet exciting feel came over again.

"I'm going to make you make some noise." Yuffie said. She squatted down and pounced on Vincent. They both feel to the floor, Yuffie on top. She started tickling him on the side of his ribs. Something amazing happened. Vincent started to laugh. Not just a little chuckle like he always did, but an uncontrollable laugh. Yuffie started to giggle along with him.

"Okay, Okay, you win, just stop." Vincent begged. Yuffie crawled off him. She was giving a cute smile and still letting out little giggles.

"I knew I won." Yuffie said. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a red materia. She started to study it.

"What do you got there." Vincent asked. He knew it wasn't his, he checked every five minutes when Yuffie was around.

"It's a materia that Cloud guy had on his armor." Yuffie said. "It's Odin I think, very useful."

"You and your materia." Vincent said.

"Hey, if it wasn't for my materia hunting, we would have never joined up. You would be back in that coffin and I would be out being a good girl." Yuffie said.

"I guess that's right. I'm glad for your bad habit." Vincent said.

"Me too." Yuffie said. She leaned over and gave Vincent a small kiss on the lips. For a second he was shocked. But then he relaxed, no use hiding his feelings. As long as she was happy, nothing else mattered.

Meanwhile, on the right side of the city, Cloud had just finished telling the rest of the group about Yuffie, Vincent, and Sephiroth.

"That little cute girl was that mad man's daughter?" Cait Sith asked.

"Yep." Tifa said, "She seems to be stronger then him. Put maybe he is just leaving himself open to her."

"Well if she has killed him, she's on our side." Cid said.

"We don't know that, she might just wan to kill him to get the black materia." Cloud said.

"She isn't like that. She is nice." Aeris said. She was upset about the way Cloud made Yuffie seem, she was just a girl with a bad family. I mean, Aeris's own father helped make Sepiroth the way he is.

"Well let's just get some sleep." Cait Sith said.

They all went to their beds. But only a few went to sleep. Cait Sith walked outside. He made sure he wasn't being listened to and opened his small phone.

"Hello, Reeve? Rufus? It's me. That girl, Yuffie, that Elena saw at the bar is up to something. Get this, she's Sephiroth's daughter." Cait Sith said.

"What?!" Rufus said on the other side of the phone.

"Yep, and she's killed his fake body twice. She might even stronger be then him. I didn't hear much on that Vincent guy. But he seems to be traveling with her and protecting her. She also called upon Holy to save the planet." Cait Sith said.

"Cait Sith, you have a new mission, abort Cloud's party, get the girl alive, and bring her back to Midgar. The president would like to meet her." Reeve said, "Now go and return."

"Yes sir." The small cat hung up. He started to head to the house where Vincent and Yuffie were staying, when he noticed two figures ahead of him on the road. One carried a giant sword and the other was a woman in fighting gloves.

"Where the hell is Tifa and Cloud off to at this time of night." Cait Sith said. Only he was suppose to be the spy.

Tifa and Cloud made there way into the house. It was dark and silent. They walked up the stairs to where the bed was. Looking down, they say Yuffie in Vincent's arms in the bed. Both were sleeping peacefully.

"Cloud, maybe we shouldn't do this." Tifa said. She looked at the two. They were like she wished her and Cloud were. And to kill someone in there sleep, this just didn't sound like one of Cloud's ideas.

"I am a puppet." Cloud raised his sword. Tifa noticed something. Cloud wasn't him, it was the Cloud with the messed up head. The one under Sephiroth's control. And the sword wasn't dangling over Yuffie's head, but Vincent's.

"CLOUD NO!" Tifa yelled.
