Chaotic Damnation: Eternium Reqrium Fatalibus

Chapter 2: Onward March
Yuffie and Vincent rushed in a flurry of motion as they scrambled to pack their baggage. The small demon bearing ninja quickly ran the check threw her mind.
"MAP?"
'Check!'
'SCROLL?'
'Check!'
"PHS…*YOUR* PHS?'
'Ha ha Very funny…check!'
'Weapon?'
'Check.'
'Armor?'
'Check.'
Yuffie sighed and packed away her change of clothes. She reached over and looked at her selection of Materia. With steady fingers that only a thief could possess she picked several of the glowing orbs out of their slots.
This obviously confused Damnation for she asked why she was leaving her materia there.
'Not going to bring all of it. Cure, All, Revive… that should do. I mean, we fought Sephiroth, you'd think we could stand a road trip without the ever present materia. Sides, Vincent's bringing his. I feel like I'm missing something.' She thought and looked into the ice sheet with a curious expression. The ice reflected the white sweater and jeans. It also reflected her small heart shaped face, shrouded with mid-back length semi curled tresses falling graciously around her face and shoulders like a morbid waterfall. Red eyes glew oddly in the reflection.
'CONTACTS.'
'Yes, where're they? I haven't worn them in…'
'6 MONTHS'
'Where're they hiding?' She asked spinning around and viewing the whole cave as she did.
"Vincent, do you know where my contacts are?" She asked, a voice of pleading entered her tone.
"No clue." He said and turned. "Do you still think you need them?"
"Vincent, think about it. The two of us come strolling into Rocket Town, long black hair, and red eyes blazing. 'Oh hi Cid! What? No, you aren't seeing things; I'm really possessed by a demon just like Vincent, who I've been living with the past year or so. Can you say 'Valentine, I need to talk to you.'? I can just see it too. Cid patting that damn stick of his in his hand puffing on a tar-stick. Uh…I don't even want to think about Berret's reaction….' With this she notably flinched. "Go their Wutianesse, come back Swiss cheese."
Vincent stopped and looked at her with a strange expression. Obviously, he felt she was over reacting. Yet, it was an un-denyable fact that both Cid and Barret had adopted the tiny ninja during their travels and to be quite frank about it, Vincent was feeling to optimistic about their reactions either.
He walked over and hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head lovingly. "Suwa na me na ya tor Yuffie. " He said softly. She wrapped her hands around his waist. It'll be ok, I'm sure, Yuffie
"Ai. But I'm glad I'm not you." She said.
"And why is that?" He asked.
"Don't you know? I'm their sweet little Yuffie, the daughter they never had, And you? You're the evil bad man that's going to take their little girl from them. Or in other words…Target practice." She said keeping a straight face.
Vincent, as pale as was, incredably paled further and Yuffie tried hard to keep from laughing at him. Damnation, as predicted, held nothing back. Yuffie walked out of his arms and went over to her bags. Vincent was sent out of his rather terrifying visual images by Yuffie's rummaging. He looked over as Yuffie pulled a box, carved from raw Materia out of a side pocket and opened it. A grin of relief crossed her pale lips and she pulled out a small plastic contact case triumphantly. Vincent shook his head with exasperation as she put the lenses in and blinked as her eyes adjusted.
It wasn't long until they were outside of the cave entrance and Yuffied sealed the ice wall with a spell and buried a fire and ice materia in the snow in front of it.
"Why are you doing that?" Vincent asked.
"Just incase. You never really know. " She said and started her treke down the icy ledges, Vincent always lurking like a shadow a foot behind.
'LIAR.'
'Oh? And was I supposed to say? 'Oh just burying the materia where the voice said to in my dreams.' Oh yeah, that'll blow over real well.'
'WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL HIM ABOUT ALL OF IT? SO MANY SECRETS TO KEEP FROM HIM.'
'Damnation, Vincent's just going to worry and for what? Bad dreams among other things?'
'BUT YUFFIE!'
'No buts!'
Damnation coiled into her host's mind. 'YOU DO KNOW THAT I CAN MAKE YOU TELL HIM RIGHT?'
'You do know that I have enough will power to seriously cause you some damage right?' Yuffie snuffed as she made her way towards the Icicle Inn.
'HE DESERVES TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING! IF NOT TO YOU THEN TO ME!' Damnation bellowed.
'And why is that? Do you think he really cares about you?'
"NO, BUT HE CARES ABOUT YOU. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO US… DON'T YOU THINK IT'LL BE A GOOD IDEA THAT HE KNOWS? WHAT IF IT HAPPENS TO THEM?!' Damnation said panicked.
'Why are you so worried about them? Just as Vincent cares not for you, You care not for Vincent.'
'BUT I DO CARE! I CARE FOR YOU AND YOU CARE FOR HIM! AND AS I SAID BEFORE-'
'What? What did you say that was so terribly important?'
'… VINCENT AND YOU ARE ONE AS CHAOS AND I ARE ONE.'
The thought echoed in Yuffie's mind. She had forgotten about the message from so long ago. Flashes of scenes ran threw her mind… Vincent nestled beside her his right hand intertwined in her left, pale blue saphires matching. 'As long as we wear these rings, we are one.' They were one, a union, body and soul. But what if… Her eyes widened.
'Now there's no way in hell that I'm telling him.' She thought
Damnation on made a disapproving tsking sound.
