Chapter 30- Sleep and Let Your Troubled Thoughts Leave You

Cloud was confused, how could he have escaped, he was too weak from what Yuffie told them. He sensed it was a trap, but what if it isn't and you had a chance to get him..? Cloud didn't know what to do…he sighed. " Red XIII.." Red the feline like creature looked up, " Yes, Cloud?" " That was Reeve on the PHS. He says he escaped and needs us to pick him up quick…" Red sat there a moment pondering, " How could he have escaped..?"

" I do not know. Should we go?" " There may be a slight chance it is a trap if so we need to be ready for it." Cloud nodded his head, " That's what I thought." Just then Cait Sith came rushing in. " Cloud…gasp….Yuffie…gasp…Vincent…." " Where?!" " gasp...outside!" Cloud and Red looked at each other for a moment before running off. By then Tifa, Cid and the others were waiting on the deck for her.

Yuffie and Vincent smiled, they were almost there. Yuffie knew they would probably start yelling at her but she had to search for him. Yuffie looked up at Vincent, " Hey Vinnie, I….I wanted to know where you went when I...you know…" Vincent was quite a for a few moments before speaking so low that Yuffie's ears strained to here him, " I went after the woman who injured you, it was a close call….but I am happy you are alright."

Yuffie smiled big and gave him an awkward hug due to the fact they were on a chocobo. Vincent sighed, " Yuffie, what were you going to tell me…..when.." " I'll tell you soon…." Yuffie smiled and they quickly trotted towards the Highwind.

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

Barret wasn't too mad when Yuffie and Vincent showed up on the Highwind. " Hey Brat, you alright?" Yuffie nodded her head and Tifa came rushing over. Checking her to make sure she had no cuts. ' I hope you took good care of her Vincent while she was in her hands." " Don't worry Tifa, he did." Barret then hugged Yuffie and slapped Vincent on the back. " Good news folks.

Reeve escaped and we are going to go pick him up." Cloud stepped forward, " It is good to have you two back, but…" Cloud then pointed at Vincent shoulder there was a white bandage wrapped around and his shoulder was exposed. Yuffie quickly spoke up, ' He got hurt so I bandaged him up and figured it would hold him till we got here." Tifa smiled, " That was nice of you Yuffie." Cloud shook his head, " Alright, Tifa fill them in and make sure they are ready when we land." Tifa nodded her head and asked Yuffie and Vincent to politely follow her.

Cid wouldn't let it get to him…what did he expect..? Especially during a time like this…Should have waited after this…He almost felt like yelling, kicking and screaming but wouldn't.

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

" Cid, I am deeply touched but I will give you my answer after this is over. Or perhaps I am deeply touched but I will give you my answer after this is over. Or perhaps you already know the answer, if not then you'll have to wait. Is that okay with you….?" Shera raised her hand and touched his arm. Cid looked her in the eyes and nodded. Shera smiled and gave him a small kiss on the cheek." Don't worry Cid…" Shera smiled and walked out of the room leaving Cid by himself once more.

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

Cid sighed, he left the room slowly, heading towards the control room to listen to the plans once more.

" Told you Vinnie if we head this way we'd get here…" Vincent jus shrugged, and then winced. His shoulder was throbbing again. It didn't bother him during the days he was with Yuffie, so what was the difference. Chaos it is a trap isn't it? Of course it is, how else would he escape..? I don't know. You'd never know. Shut up Chaos if you are trying to say I am dumb you're wrong. I didn't say you were dumb I say you were mentally challenged. Vincent shook his head " And they usually say that you'd side with me." Vincent sighed, and noticed Yuffie come in the room. " Hey Vinnie, I brought some bandages. They'll be a lot better than what you have now.

Vincent nodded his head and sat patiently as Yuffie unraveled the old bandages and cleaned his wound. She had a cure and it did help a little. He sighed, Yuffie would be done in a few moments. " There you go…" " Thank you Yuffie…" " Hey anything for my buddy Vinnie." Yuffie patted him slightly on the back and got up. " Hey Yuffie.." Yuffie turned around slightly, " Hm…?" " Are you going to tell me what you said you would?" Yuffie smiled, "Relentless are we..? Not now, maybe later.." Vincent nodded his head. He sighed, " What's wrong Vincent you looked troubled….?"

" I am quite certain something will go wrong." " Oh…..who knows maybe he did escape but I think it is a trap because I nearly got caught trying to escape and especially the way I saw him he couldn't have made it far." Vincent nodded his head and noticed Yuffie approach him. " Go to sleep Vincent." Yuffie pulled the blankets back and beckoned Vincent to lie down in the bed and sleep. Vincent sat for a moment before getting from the small couch and went over to the bed. She pulled the blankets over him smiled, " Sleep Vincent and let you troubled thoughts leave you..." Yuffie then walked out of the room.

Kayabusa knew it would come in handy. Manipulation materia, he held the yellow materia looking at it and then twirling it. Reeve was still rock still. He wouldn't be going anywhere, with this strong of a materia how could he? When was Yuffie going to be here. Do they think it is a trap? Probably do.. Kayabusa had already planned it all out and knew they would have a tough time getting through his little plans. They still had Jet in their custody but he did not mind. He didn't like Jet, there was something about him. He sighed, tome to go…
