The Vampire and The Ninja final chapter 9 (version 2)

By Yuffie Valentine

The team spent the night in the town at the neighborhood inn. It was about one in the morning. Yuffie's sleeping form was resting comfortably in the bed next to Vincent. Her skin brushed against her. She awoke to this and watched him for a moment. His bare body was beautiful. He opened one eye and glanced up at her.

"What are you doing?" Vincent asked. She was just kind of sitting there looking at him. He didn't mind, but he just wanted to make sure everything was all right with her.

"I was just enjoying the moment. After tonight, we may not be together. I have to take pleasure in every minute." Yuffie said. She leaned in and kissed him. Hugging their bodies together. Vincent ran his finger through her now long hair. It was weird being in bed with a girl with angel wings. As they brushed against him, he let out a small laugh. Yuffie started to giggle too.

Elena listened through the door. "Eeeewww, I better get this going before the start something." She looked at her watch. The others would be moving in 10 seconds. She started to count down in her head. The she kicked the door in. At the same moment Rude came through the window of the room and Rufus the other window.

"AH, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Yuffie yelled. She covered her exposed body with the sheet.

"How touching. " Rufus said as he took a look at the position Yuffie and Vincent were in.

"I thought you were dead?" Yuffie asked.

"Elena was just lying to you. She was sent to get into the group so we can come and get you." Rufus said. He took out his gun and pointed it at Vincent's head. "Now if you don't want your sweetheart here to get his head blasted off, you will do what we say."

"What do you want of me?" Yuffie asked. She wrapped arms around Vincent. She didn't want him to die. She would have to do what they said.

"It's simple. You're bait for Sephiroth. He won't come out of the north and it's too dangerous to fight him there. We pretend to have an execution of you to lure him out. Then we can kill him." Rufus said.

"What you want me to pick between my father and my love." Yuffie said, she put her head down, "Fine, I'll do it."

"Wait, what if your little plan doesn't work? What if he just sits there?" Vincent asked.

"Then, for destroying the Shinra building and killing 1,752 employees of Shinra, Yuffie Kisengari will be put to death." Elena said. "Now get dressed." She waited while they got dressed. She walked over and cuffed Vincent and Yuffie afterwards.

"You know how easily I could snap these cuffs and your neck?" Yuffie said to Elena.

"About the same time Rufus can draw his weapon and shoot Vincent." Elena replied with a smile.

"Bitch." Yuffie said, she pulled back her head and spat in Elena's face.

"You are going to pay for that you little whore." Elena said. She pushed Yuffie down the steps and into the copter where Reno waited. He took one sad look at Yuffie and looked away. Rufus soon followed with Vincent.

"We shouldn't have to do. She is just a girl." Reno said.

"Since when have you been so moral? Aren't you the one who was all over her when she had mind-control on?" Elena said. Vincent looked at Reno after that last comment. He didn't like that thought.

"It's not about that. She had every right in the world to blow up that building. We tried to take over her mind and ruin her life once can't we just let it go." Reno said. He had a soft spot for Yuffie. Sure she was a charismatic well-rounded girl, but she sparred his life, she could have killed him, but she didn't.

"Yeah, listen to that guy." Yuffie said. She didn't like Reno, but he was on her side of things.

"So, Reno, would you choose the girl's or your job?" Rufus said.

"My job sir, I love being a TURK." Reno said.

"Really? I don't believe you." Rufus said. He lifted his gun and pointed at Yuffie. He slowly pulled the trigger. The bullet entered the body. Reno fell to the ground. He had fallen for Rufus's trick; he took the shot for Yuffie.

"NOOOO! You bastard, he was your own man. He was on your side, and you killed him." Yuffie said. Reno's body had landed on her.

"Yuffie, don't worry. You spared my life, I had to save yours." Reno said. He coughed up a little blood and smiled, " I hope you and that Vincent guy make it out of this alive. If not I'll be waiting for you." He closed his eyes and took his last breath.

"YOU JACKASS! Why did you kill him? Cause he wasn't heartless and unfeeling likes you?" Yuffie said. She looked down at Reno's body laying over her lap. He was not the nicest guy in the world, but he was giving his life to protect her. He even wished her luck with Vincent.

"Get rid of the body. In fact leave it in the bed of the girl, that will be a nice surprise for Cloud." Rufus said. He waited while Rude dragged the body up to the room. And returned to the copter. A bloodstain ran down his shirt.

"We'll have to clean that later." Rufus said.

"You may shoot me now or never sleep again. For the moment you fall asleep Rufus is your last." Rude said. "Reno was like a brother, and he will not be killed like that."

"Very good Rude, have it your way." Rufus reached for his gun but it was gone. He turned to see Elena pointing it at his head.

"Sorry Sir, but us Turks have a code." Elena said. She took 5 shots at Rufus. Each one landing in his head. His face was no more then a bloody mess. The red fluid ran down the front of his white suit. His body gave out from under him and he fell.

"Nice shooting Elena." Rude said.

"Thanks, now get in the copter. We have an execution to get under way." Elena said.

"What? You are still going to kill us?" Vincent asked.

"Sorry, but we still need to save the world and right the wrong of those Shinra deaths." Rude said. He jumped into the aircraft and it was off.

Yuffie was silent, she just sat there. She did nothing but look at Reno's blood covering her body. She wanted to thank him for saving her, but it was too late. She leaned over and rested her head on Vincent's shoulder. He was in danger now, and she didn't like it.

"Vincent, you have to get yourself out of here no matter what. They don't need or want you, it's me. So first chance you get, go. And don't give me any of that I love you too much to go shit, just do it. I couldn't die knowing you would be gone too. You are going to live a nice life without me okay?" Yuffie said. She looked up at Vincent. He was silent, like always, he never really talked a lot, but he was crying. Yuffie sighed, she knew what it would be like for him, but death was just part of the cycle of life they all most go through.

"I understand Yuffie." Vincent said.

Cloud looked down at Reno's dead body in the bed. He didn't understand it. He walked out on to the front of the Inn to see what appeared to be Rufus Shinra, but the face was to bloody to tell. They were killed with a gun. Was it Vincent's?

"Ahhhhhhhh!" two screams came from up in Vincent and Yuffie's room. Cloud rushed up the stairs. Tifa was hugging Aeris as she cried. Aeris was sobbing very hard.

"It's okay Aeris, it wasn't Yuffie or Vincent, it was just a TURK." Tifa said.

"I know but why is he in the bed?" Aeris asked. Tifa looked down at the floor.

"I don't know, but he wasn't killed there, just placed there." Tifa said, pointing to the blood trial on the floor.

"Rufus is dead out front." Cloud said. "Both gun shot wounds. I think Vincent did it."

Barret came out of the bedroom where Reno was in. "Not Vincent. I know my guns, and those bullets came from Rufus's gun. Both Rufus and Reno shot at close range. Reno in the heart, Rufus five shots to the head. Who ever did it was ruthless. I think Yuffie and Vincent were taken by whoever did this." Barret said.

"This doesn't make sense at all." Cloud said.

"Yes it does." Cid said. He came in with his portable TV. "Take a look at this." Cid pointed to the screen. A female reporter was standing there.

"Good morning, today Shinra announced the capture of the criminal who destroyed the Shinra building. They have already set up a execution for the woman." A female reporter said. "We now go to the site of the burning where Jim Aarons is waiting." The screen flips to a landscape just outside of Midgar. Yuffie is showed tied to a metal pole in the middle of a large woodpile. She is wearing lots of robes it seems to hide her wings. And she seems to be very vocal.

"YOU BASTARDS. WHAT KIND OF DEATH IS THIS? I AM NOT A WITCH, YOU DON'T BURN ME. I DEMAND AN HONORABLE DEATH DAMN IT." Yuffie screamed from her pole. People were throwing objects at her. On the sidelines, Vincent was cuffed and being held back by Rude. Elena was smiling.

"Oh my god. Quick, Cid warm up the Highwind, we have to get there and save Yuffie." Cloud said. "Everyone get ready for battle."

An hour later, Elena had just finished her speech to the public. And she was about to set ablaze Yuffie.

"STOP RIGHT THERE SHINRA!" A voice echoed through the crowd. Everyone looked up to see the Highwind hanging over them.

"Alright, I knew someone would come for me." Yuffie said.

"Oh shit, Rude get the troops out here now." Elena said.

"Elena we have bigger problems. We have energy likely to be Sephiroth traveling at a high speed towards us right now; he should be here in 2 minutes if speed continues. We have another object also flying towards us with a slightly lower energy and speed and should arrive in 12 minutes if speed continues. Whatever it is it's big." Rude said.

"What?!" Elena ran over to the radar screen where Rude was standing. "That fast one is Sephiroth. That other one, judging by size is a weapon."

"SHINRA, UNTIE YUFFIE OR PREPAR TO FIGHT!" The voice boomed. Six parachutes jumped over the side of the aircraft. Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, Cid, Barret, and Red XIII were on the ground and in battle position within a minute.

"Shit, there is another problem." Elena said. She threw her hand up as the sign and the troops set fire to the gasoline soaked wood. The fire jumped up into the air with a roar.

"AHHHHH! SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Yuffie yelled.

"Yuffie, try to break the ropes." Cloud yelled back.

"You think I haven't already tried that. They are made of metal, they won't budge." Yuffie said. The first flame attached itself to her robe. She let out a scream as the flames licked at her.

"CLOUD, do something quick." Vincent yelled. He looked back at the pre-occupied Rude. He gave him a sharp kick to the back of the head. Rude fell down. Vincent searched the passed out Turk for the keys. Finding them he unlocked his cuffs.

"AHHH, somebody get me out of here!" Yuffie yelled again. She was getting burned on her feet and legs.

"Hold on." Vincent yelled. He ran into the flames with his capes wrapped around him. He reached Yuffie and began to unlock her bonding.

"Vincent, we got to get out of here and to Sephiroth. That meteor is getting way too close." Yuffie said. Her last rope fell from her. She grabbed Vincent and flew out of the fire. The crowd gasped.

"She has wings!" One person yelled.

"WHAT THE HELL!" a man bellowed from the crowd.

Then the crowd went silent as another creature hung overhead. Sephiroth floated up to Yuffie and Vincent. "Looks like we have a nice little touching moment here."

"Father, stop the meteor, it's not worth it." Yuffie pleaded.

"Yuffie, being with these mortals as made you softhearted to them. They are scum, and we need to get rid of them. Now stop being foolish, leave the vampire reject here. And come with me to be a god." Sephiroth said.

"Vampire reject?" Vincent said. He pulled away from Yuffie in midair, "CHAOS" He was surrounded by black smoke before his form showed the winged fiend.

"VINCENT STOP THIS! BOTH OF YOU HAVE TO COME TO YOUR SENSES!" Yuffie yelled. She tried to fly into the middle of the now started battle but the energy field surrounded the fighters blasted her into the ground.

"Yuffie!" Aeris ran over to Yuffie. She was about 3 feet deep in the ground. "Are you alright?"

"Fine, just fine." Yuffie said. She flew back up to stop the fight. She had very bad timing in this. Any energy blast from Sephiroth was dodged by Vincent, but hit Yuffie. Once again she was sent crashing to the ground.

"AHHHHHHH!" She hit the ground; Cloud and the others heard a sickening noise. The sounds of bones cracking and a blood chilling shriek. A trickle of blood came out of her mouth.

"Yuffie......" Vincent said looking down at her. She was still, too still. That's when it came.

"RUN WEAPON!" A person in the crowd screamed. The people ran in every direction. The Ultima Weapon landed near Yuffie. It nudged her with its face. Noticing that she wasn't getting up, it glared up at Sephiroth.

"I think that thing isn't too happy." Cid said, "And I think it knows who did that to Yuffie."

The weapon raced into the sky and grabbed Sephiroth in its claws. It didn't stop; it just kept flying higher and higher.

"Let go or regret it beast." Sephiroth said. The Weapon tightened its grip and Sephiroth's right arm snapped like a twig.

"Where the hell is that thing going?" Cid asked.

"To the meteor, it's giving its life to protect the planet." Cloud said.

The Weapon was an about a hundred yards and closing on the meteor. Sephiroth ripped his sword loose and cut off one of the legs holding him. "I am not dieing."

It let a roar out and released shadow flare. A great light filled the sky. A blast of small rocks came raining down. Not too many actually hit humans. But the ones that did left the body dead.

Vincent landed and changed form. He rushed to Yuffie. She was a heartbreaking picture. Her wings were broken in many places where blood leaked out. Her body covered in small cuts and burn marks. Her face was colorless except for a stream of blood leaking from her lips. Wet tears still left in her eyes.

"Is she?" Vincent asked Aeris who was kneeled next to Yuffie. Aeris slowly shook her head 'yes'.

"Aeris, check again." Cloud said. He couldn't take this news.

"I don't have to Cloud, she's dead." Aeris said. She was sobbing now.

"Poor kid. She wasn't that bad, she didn't have to come to this. And that bastard that killed her is dead. If he wasn't, he would have to answer to my Venus Gospel." Cid said. He leaned down and patted Yuffie's head. "Goodbye, kid."

The holy materia started to glow with a light never seen in it before. Yuffie's body was covered in a green light; it faded fast and Yuffie's eyes fluttered open.

"Yuffie!" Vincent fell to his knees and hugged her. She hugged him back.

"Hey what happen?" Yuffie asked.

"We won." Red XIII said.

"Yep, your Weapon came and killed Sephiroth and the meteor. But it also died." Tifa said.

Yuffie's eyes filled with tears and she buried her face in Vincent's clothes.

"It's okay Yuffie, the Weapon was made to give its life for the planet." Red XII said. Yuffie turned to the group.

"It's not so much the Weapon I am crying for as it is Sephiroth. He wasn't supposed to die." Yuffie said.

"Yuffie, the man your true father was died long ago, only an evil being took his form." Cloud said.

"I guess so. If you guys don't mind, I am going to get some sleep now." Yuffie said and went out in Vincent's arms.

"I think we all should get some rest." Vincent said. Every nodded and they went into Midgar. They went to Aeris's house. Everyone was downstairs chatting as Yuffie rested up stairs by herself.

"What should I do now father?" Yuffie asked.

'You should get rid of Cloud, he was just using to kill me.' A voice in her head told her.

"I think I will kill him, he is annoying." Yuffie said. She sat up in bed. Her long silver hair flew around her. Her new wings spread as she stretched her arms.

'Get rid of that Vincent too." Spehiroth said in her head.

"No, you are just going to have to live with that one." Yuffie said. She grabbed the ten foot blade out from under her bed. She smiled as she looked at herself in it. No one had seen her since she had transformed. "Oh Cloud, could you come up here for a second."

Fin

Okay, not so happy ending. But the point is the Vincent and Yuffie are still alive and together. For awhile, this version didn't have her coming back to life, but I decided to bring her back so that Sephiroth could live too. Well, that about does it for this series. I am thinking over the next series for Final Fantasy that I will do. Anyways, review.
