Darkness and Brightness
Chapter Two - "...And She Awakens"
-----------------------------------------
Yuffie woke up in a storm of emotions and pain. Her whole body screamed out in extreme pain, and she had to swallow down the bile. The fevered girl slowly opened the heavy weights that were her eyelids and dazedly looked around at her surroundings. The cool, soft bed she lay in. The night table next to her. The beautiful gilded wardrobe looming a few feet in front of her. The small wooden chair facing the window. The figure in the chair-
Yuffie caught a glimpse of deep, blood-red eyes and screamed. Her whole world went black.

Vincent gazed silently at the limp form in front of him. His face showed little fatigue although he had been sitting on the chair all night, unmoving yet always watching. He had carried Yuffie back to his home and carefully tended to her myriad wounds, his face red as he had had to remove her overgarments and pull a soft cotton robe over her. The honorable fighter had been reluctant to do that, but he had done it, knowing that the girl's soiled and torn combat suit, unmoved, would surely lead to dangerous infections. Finding a spare bedroom for the young ninja, he'd gently placed her onto the bed and tucked her in with a thin sheet, afterwards collecting her other items and storing them in the night table beside the bed. Then Vincent, with nothing left to do, had settled down into a chair and waited for the coming dawn.
Vincent started when Yuffie began to stir. He whipped his head to the side and watched her eyes putter about the room. He was wondering what to do when Yuffie screamed and passed out, leaving a thoroughly bewildered Vincent staring.

End of Chapter Two! According to my trusty(and newly reformatted!!!! :D)computah here, it is now 2:50 PM EDT, Tuesday, July 24th, 2001. Thank you thank you thank you(!!!!)SO MUCH for reading my fan fiction, and I hope you enjoyed it! I know that this chapter was really short, but I did it on purpose so that when Yuffie wakes up next, it will be at the start of the chapter and, I think, more effective than if I had just typed the whole thing at the end of this chapter. So thank you all again, and remember! Chapter 3 will be done TODAY unless I either have to go because of yelling parents or I have to go because I keel over from absolute exhaustion! Oh, yes, and I would like to thank Jack, Tammy, Jason, and Ibis for helping me decide confused/perplexed/baffle/bewildered and Jason for being the most critical damn reviewer I probably ever had or will have!(ha, ha.) So bye-bye now, and I'll see y'all later~! -TBOtaku
