Chaotic Damnation.
By Pegasia Silverfeather
"Secrets"
Yuffie woke up with a yawn. Throwing the heavy fur blanket off she stood up. The cave was slightly cooler then it had been when she had gone to sleep, but nothing like the icy doom outside.
Stretching her neck as she walked around she found Vincent slumped back, snoring slightly, against a wall. A brow raised as he let out a soft yawn and literally fell down the wall and onto the floor, where he tucked his arm under his head and continued sleeping.
'How cute.' She thought. Going back to the pile of bedding, she grabbed a blanket and covered Vincent gently. 'You know, when he's sleeping he looks so peaceful, as if nothing had ever hurt him. Even the claw seems pacif.' She thought with a soft smile.
After reburning the ember she set to making tea. As the water boiled, Yuffie started to think.
'So, Damnation. What do you think?'
'THINK ABOUT WHAT?'
'I dunno. ...Me?'
'WELL... YOU'RE SOMEONE TO TALK TO.'
'Like anyone else could hear you.' Yuffie sighed. 'Well, how about Chaos. Is he your friend or what?'
'LIKE I'D TELL YOU.'
'Who else you gonna tell?'
'GRRRR'
'Is he a positive aspect?'
'YES. IS VINCENT?'
'Hey! I told you that we are friends.'
'BUT ARE YOU MORE?'
'What the? NO!'
'HEHHE'
Yuffie fumed at the being within her. Holding her hands out to warm by the ember she thought.
'The nerve. How could she even dream of such a notion? Vincent and me? Vincent of all people. Sure he's ' she looked over at the sleeping figure. 'Cute but... Oh come on! We are talking about Vincent Valentine!'
Suddenly a searing pain roared threw her fingers and she screamed.
Vincent jumped to his feet and ran to her in a flash.
"What is it?" Vincent asked.
Yuffie looked at her hand. "I burnt myself." She said shaking her hand.
Vincent grabbed her wrist. "Let me see." He said and gently opened her fist. Angry red sores dotted all of her fingers and a spot in her palm. "It's not too bad. Hold still." He said as he picked up a bowl of nuke warm water. Untying his bandanna he dipped it into the water, turning it a darker shade of crimson.
"What the?" Yuffie asked confused.
"This is going to sting a trite but it will feel better afterwards." He said as he gently laid the wet material over her hand.
Yuffie's eyes bulged as the shock of pain spread up her arm. "Owwwie!"
He slowly applied a bit of pressure to the cloth and sighed. "I told you it would hurt."
"Good for you!" Yuffie said sarcastically.
Vincent pulled the cloth up and look at it. The redness and swelling had gone down. Blowing gently on her hand he soothed some of the stinging.
"Vincent, I'm sorry I woke you up." Yuffie said rather deflated.
"It was no problem. I'm not angry." He said looking up at her threw dark locks of hair. It reminded Yuffie of the eyes of danger within a dark jungle.
"I would offer to make breakfast but I'm kinda..." She looked at her hand.
'CRISPY?'
'Oh shut up.' "Well... Ack. crispy." She said with a snort. "Darn heathen."
"Why do I not what to know?" Vincent said as he tied the material around her fingers.
Vincent finished the tea, as well as cooked a small breakfast, which Yuffie ate gratefully.
After the dishes were clean a cold silence filled the room.
"Hey Vincent, wanna play a game?" Yuffie asked, the boredom getting the best of her.
"What do you have in mind?" He asked as he looked up from his book.
"Well a sarcastic demon for starters." She said moodily.
Vincent rolled his eyes. "You know what I mean."
"Secrets. I tell you one of mine you tell me one of yours." She said.
"Ok. I'm sure you don't have too many secrets." He said putting the book down.
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. So let's start. ...Um... My middle name Beatrice. Eww." Yuffie said wrinkling her face.
"Beatrice? Ok. My middle name is Victor."
"Victor? Your parent's had a thing for 'V' names? I used to have a dog named..." She looked at Vincent. "Hair ball." She said closing her eyes.
"My favorite color is pale blue."
"Baby Blue? Ok, As a little kid my mom used to call me Pinkie. Don't ask." She said shaking her head
'PINKY! TIME FOR DINNER PINKY!'
'Shut up demon spawn.' Yuffie said sarcastically.
"My eyes used to be black." Vincent said.
"For my eighteenth birthday, my dad gave me a bag of marbles. He said I could always use a few spares." She said rolling her eyes.
"When I was a TURK, my older superiors broke into my locker and filled it with diapers and a rubber duck." Vincent said looking up.
"So you know how I felt when Cid got ahold of my baby pictures and made wanted flyers looking for the Wutai Kid." She said wincing. "I was soooo mad at him."
"When I was in school I failed PE ...twice" He said flatly.
Yuffie raised a brow. "Never woulda thought. I'm sure you know that I got A's in Trig." She said looking proud of herself.
"My Older sister used to put ribbons in my hair when I was three." He said.
Yuffie was trying very hard not to laugh and getting by with the skin of her teeth. On the other hand Damnation wasn't faring as well. Trying to keep calm while the demon laughed uncontrollably was next to impossible.
" I had an imaginary friend named 'pookey'"
"When I was about 16 I went threw a picture glass window rear first." He said with a sigh.
"Oh my." Yuffie said.
"I said more then that at the hospital." He said, his face cracking with an almost shy smile.
"You know that trap I have at my house? Well when I was installing it my foot got caught in the pulley and up I went. Took Godo four ours to figure out where I was and then another two hours for then to get me out. Needless to say, Your story was a bit more em-bare-assing"
Vincent rolled his head in dismay. "I'm running out of secrets."
"Oh come on. You were a TURK for crying out loud!" Yuffie said.
"Oh ok. Just one more, this one is rather... dreadful. My Sister, who was a very sneaky person, mind you, and her parade of co-conspirators, snuck up on me after I had taken a shower. I had forgotten my clothes and was wrapped in a towel in the hall when out of nowhere 6 teenage girls stampede down the hall, swipe the towel and take off leaving me in a rather uncomfortable position. Then out of nowhere Ginger, My sisters best friend, pops up with a Polaroid camera." He said his face reddening at the very memory.
"Ack! Your sister was EVIL!" Yuffie gasped once again trying to keep a straight face.
"Well that isn't the whole story. About a week later I was walking down the street when several colored blown up copies of the Polaroid caught my eye. I tried to explain why I was angry to my mom but just couldn't tell her." He said shaking his head.
By this time Yuffie was howling with laughter. "That is why...I was always glad to be a n only child."
Vincent gave her a rhy glare and picked up his book. Looking over the top of the book he could Yuffie's cheerful face. It was red from laughter and her white teeth gleamed behind soft pale lips. 'She's rather pretty. ...What am I thinking! She's 41 years younger then me!'
Still a feeling spread in his chest as he watched her smile. It was if a cold and drafty part of him was being lit by sunlight.
'What to do?' He wondered. 'I certainty can't get close to her. That is just wrong. I must keep my distance. The only respectable thing to do.' He thought and turned the page.
'Did you see the look on his face? It was priceless, Not to mention very cute. Whoa! Hold up, Where did THAT come from?'
'DON'T LOOK AT ME.'
'Sarcastic little.... Yeah you know what you are!'
With this Yuffie rolled her eyes and took a deep breath. Pulling out her scroll she began to write. Carefully, with much poise, she placed the scripture in neat rows. The writing curved in a very pretty fashion. Unknown to her Vincent's eyes had been on her.
He watched as she wrote with all of the poise of a geisha woman. Such a suprise from a woman who had just been in a large fit of uncontrollable laughter. Her manner was mesmerizing and he soon forgot about his book entirely. She had such grace and did not even realize it. He watched as a sly grin formed on her soft lips. He had to stop these feelings before they got too far.

So that was chapter three. What did you think? I heard that some of you found the demons rather humorous. Let me know what you think. :)
