Chapter 26-If I Search, Will I Find Him...?

Jade redrew the spear like weapon and smiled. Chaos transformed back into Vincent before her. "It appears your time has come already." Vincent did not respond for it appeared he was unconscious. Jade raised her weapon above Vincent's head and……….

Yuffie opened her eyes. She felt as though she had been run over once then again. Her eyes were heavy weights and her abdomen felt like hell. What happened? Yuffie pieced together as much information as she could at the present moment. Then she remembered Jade, Jet….Vincent! She quickly threw off her covers and jumped out of bed only to fall to the floor. She doubled over, she couldn't stand without the pain, she couldn't sit without the pain. She raised the big shirt to find a scar on her abdomen. The same exact place where Jade had run her though, this would explain why she was alive. She stood up straight and winced at the pain. She walked slowly to the door, baby steps, on step at a time….it's like learning how to walk. Yuffie smiled now, she gaining progress and her abdomen didn't hurt as much. Soon she reached the door, she turned the knob and stepped out.

Only to collide with something hard, She fell back but someone instantly caught her, she looked up hoping for Vincent. Instead it was Reno with Rude and Elena behind him. " What's going on?" Yuffie's voice cracked and was hoarse. Reno gently picked Yuffie up and laid her back down in the bed. Rude followed behind him, his hand intertwined with Elena. " Are you feeling well, Yuffie?" " The fact that I feel like I was run over once then again and again, my eyes are like heavy weights and abdomen hurts like hell…..Yes." Reno shook his head, he grabbed a small bowl that was on a stand nearby. Yuffie hadn't even noticed it. " Is everyone okay?" Rude nodded. " Where's Vincent?" " He went after Jade when you fell, haven't seen him in a few hours." " Is he alive is he alright!?' Yuffie cried out, she would never forgive herself if he died.

Reno's eyes hardened, how could she care about a man when he left her when she fell? " We do not know, eat your soup and go back to sleep." " but Vincent could be hurt." " He is a grown man, he can take care of himself." Reno's voice was emotionless, but if you looked within his eyes you could see the spiral of hate and jealously. If this wasn't stopped then unfortunately it would consume him. Yuffie's eyes flashed with anger, she knocked the bowl from his grasp and stood up wincing as she did. " He could be hurt! I shouldn't be sitting here being babied I should be out looking for him, to make sure he is alive and well!!!" " Why show him kindness if he left you when you fell?!" Reno retorted. " Maybe he decided that Jade who hurt me needed to die and by his hands!! Maybe he cared and was angered!!!!" Reno's was furious, " Think what you want! I know you have feelings for him Yuffie but he won't return them."

With that said Reno turned around and forced past Rude and Elena. Yuffie stood there, she then collapsed to the ground with tears streaming down her face. Rude and Elena decided it was best to leave her. Rude walked over to Yuffie and bent down so they had eye contact. " Follow your heart and get pass those who wish to stop you." Rude then patted her shoulder stood up and left. Yuffie sighed, she would find him no matter what.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jet sat down exasperated at trying to find a way out. H e was also infuriated that Yuffie lived, he heard them shouting and sighing with joy when they found out Yuffie would Live.

If I Can't Have You No One Will

The words rang clearly in his head, he was going to carry it out no matter what. He was also furious at Jade, it was his task to take her not hers. Now he hoped she would die that way he would not have any interferences. If only Yuffie understood, had she went looking for him and found him then they would not be in this predicament. He sighed once more. Suddenly there was a squeak, the sound of a door opening, and he was up in an instant, his eyes narrowed as he saw who it was. Cloud and his buddies except Yuffie. " Why do you want to hurt her." Came the deep low voice of Red. " If I cannot have her th-" " Enough of that crap! Juss cuz someone ain't gonna love you don't mean ya got ta kill dem. You would end da brats life shortly." " Then we could be together wherever our spirits suppose to go. When our Leader becomes God we come back and then she will love me." Barret shook his head.

Tifa watched him, he was determined she could tell….very…determined. " Don't you get it? Her heart is already taken." Jet laughed, " If there is a will then there is a way." " You are blind." Jet laughed, " Where's Reeve?" Rude was the first in the room to actually get down to business, it was Rude's job and the other two Turks to protect him and they failed. Now they had to retrieve him as his bodyguards and friends. Jet shrugged, " Dunno." " You know, Yuffie told me you escorted her down the the cell and you allowed her to take a quick glance at Reeve. Where is he?!" Reno was at this point ready to just strangle him to death. " And if I told you do you think you would be able to get him without an exchange?" " Fine then, You for Reeve." To this Jet laughed, " I will escape either way, it is my dear Yuffie I am talking about." They shook their heads.

Cloud sighed and walked over to the bars, " I think the fact of seeing Yuffie happy with somebody else will make sure you stay." Jet laughed, " You just don't get it do you? She loves me and is blinded by this other man." Cloud shook his head, " Let's go." " Who is to keep watch?" " Who wants to?" " I will." Everyone stared at Barret, he had been particularly worried about her. She was like his second daughter. The group nodded their heads and left to leave Barret to watch over Jet.

Yuffie composed herself and quickly packed a bag. She was to find Vincent no matter what, even if she died trying. At least she would die happy knowing she had gone out to find him. She sighed, might as well. She wondered If I search for him, will I Find him? She grabbed her bag and set it on the bed. Locking the door she changed. Then grabbed the bag and left, leaving a note.
