Hey all reviewers...*sigh* I'm sorry to say, but I'm starting to get a bad
case of writers block for this story. I'll try to re-read all of the
reviews for this story and hopefully get back to writing more. For the
people who read "Yuffie gets braces", I want to do a survey on which story
is better. This one, "I'll always be by your side" or my old one, "Yuffie
gets braces". Please when you review this, post your vote with your review.
Thanks a lot and please R&R.

[Chapter 6: Catching up]
Vincent opened his eyes only to see everyone but Yuffie, looking down at him. He was lying in Cloud and Tifa's bed and his vision was kind of blurry. He sat up quickly and felt pain on his back. Vincent flinched.
"Where is Yuffie?!" he asked panicly. "Relax Vincent, she's here and she's safe." Cloud said. Vincent noticed that he didn't have his shirt on. He only had his pants on which had little rips in them. He knew all to well that his shirt was ripped off and his pants were ripped in some places because of Chaos.
"What happened after I turned into Chaos?" Vincent asked. "Well, me and Cid ran away. You'd better ask Yuffie on that one. The only thing we knew is that you killed Rufus." Vincent nodded. He tried to get up out of bed but fell back on it. "Owww!" he winced.
"I suggest you stay in bed for a while, or at least until we get those wounds healed with Cure 3." Red XIII said.
"No, these wounds cannot be healed by magic. Hojo put something in Chaos that whenever someone or something is hurt by him or the person that unleashed the beast, cannot be healed by magic." Vincent explained.
"So...what you're saying is that nothing will heal you?" Cid asked. "Well, I heal by myself like other people, only I heal faster. While normal people heal slowly, unless they use magic, I heal faster without using magic. I can always use magic on myself unless my wounds are from Chaos."
"I see. It makes sense." Red XIII said. "I hated Hojo for what he did to me too. He put tattoos all over me, took me away from my home and family, held me in captivity, AND tried to breed me and Aeris together."
"Wait, wait, wait. So you're saying that since you killed Rufus as Chaos, that he can never be brought back to life?" Cid asked. "Never." Vincent told Cid.
"What about The Great Phoenix?" Cait Sith asked. "No. Even though The Great Phoenix Fire Bird is one of the most greatest elements of life; Chaos is the most greatest elements of death." Vincent explained. "The master of life is Phoenix, created by God. The master of death is Chaos, created by Satan. Everyone and everything has a purpose in life, it lives until it's time expires."
Vincent sighed. "Some people wonder why and how a Phoenix down got it's name. Well, it's simple. Phoenix stands for life, A Phoenix down restores life, and that's how it got it's name. You see, Phoenix has to donate some of it's powers to make a Phoenix down. Therefore, Phoenix downs are becoming rare and hard to get."
"Wow Vincent, you know a lot about things. When you get older, you could be as smart as my grandfather!" Red XIII complimented. "Thanks for the info about Phoenix, Vincent, I'll always keep in mind that Phoenix downs are rare and treasure them more!" Tifa said. "You guys are welcome and Barret, can you do me a favor?" Vincent asked.
"Sure anythin'." "Go and tell Yuffie that I want to talk to her." Vincent said. Barret nodded and ran out the door.
"Hey guys, what time is it?" Vincent asked. "It's 3:15 p.m." Tifa said. "Thanks."
Barret and Yuffie walked into the bedroom. "Err, how about snacks everyone?" Tifa said quickly. Everyone agreed to go and eat snacks while Yuffie and Vincent caught up on the recent events. She sat on the bed.
"So, uhh, Vincent..." Yuffie couldn't think of much to say. She had just noticed his shirt was off and began to blush lightly. "Yuffie, I have some questions." "Uh sure, go ahead, shoot."
Vincent thought. "When I turned into Chaos, what happened, I don't remember a thing."
Yuffie thought back to last night. "Let's see, first you turned into Chaos then you were looking at Rufus and then that's when Cid ran away but Cloud ran up to me and pulled off the tape on my mouth and you looked at him and were about to attack him but he ran off, leaving me behind, BUT he appologized for that and anyway you were about to go and chase him, but then Rufus fired his shotgun at you and you turned around and grabbed him by the neck and sqeezed all the air outta him!"
"Anymore...?" Vincent asked. "Yeah. You killed Rufus and started heading for me..." Yuffie felt a little scared. "...and I told you who I was and you turned back into your own self." she finished.
"That's it? Did I hurt you at all?" Vincent sounded worried. "No. But Rufus did right after he kidnapped me. He cut my ankles so I couldn't walk anymore. And well as you saw, he slapped me, but thats about it."
"What happened after I de-transformed? I know that I passed out but what happened after that?" Vincent was curious.
"Well, about the time you collapsed, Cid and Cloud came back. Cid had used his Venus Gospel to cut the ropes that I was captured in while Cloud picked you up and put you on his back. Cid saw the cuts on my ankles and didn't want me to walk home so he put me on his back too. Then they brought us home and Cloud had asked what had happened and I told everyone everything. And Cid also healed my cuts.
"I never knew that Rufus cut your ankles, I'm very sorry." Vincent felt guilty. "And when we were on the roof last night, I'm sorry I didn't watch over you very good."
Yuffie looked shocked. "What? Oh, no, no, no...It's not your fault that I was kidnapped by that bastard." "No, I should have kept an eye on you. I'm sorry." Vincent looked down.
"Don't appologize. It's nobodys fault, okay?" Yuffie tried to convince him. She spread her arms out and gave him a hug. "Thanks for saving me again."
Vincent didn't blush at all. He was kinda getting used to this sweet side of Yuffie he'd never seen in her before. He hugged her back. "You're very welcome." Yuffie didn't blush either. She was noticing that Vincent really cares for her and that he's opening up from being that 'Cold, dark, and mysterious man' into someone she can always count on.
Yuffie pulled away slowly from the hug and kissed Vincent on the cheek. Actually, it was more like a peck. She smiled. This time, Vincent blushed.
"That's another way of mine of saying 'Thanks'." Yuffie stood up and looked at him. "Well, do you want some snacks? I can go and get you some."
Vincent was still blushing a bit. "Err, yeah sure." Yuffie smiled and nodded her head and walked out of the bedroom.
Vincent lied back down and thought.
**Awww, little Vin Vin is growing up...** Chaos chuckled.
*And what is that supposed to mean?* Vincent asked coldly.
**She kissed you, duh!**
*Yeah, only on the cheek.*
**What's all this "Only on the cheek" shit? You were blushing like it was your first kiss!**
*No I wasn't! I...uh...this is Yuffie we're talking about here!*
**So? What's your point? Are you saying she's different from other chicks?**
*.......*
**Hehehe**
*Chaos, I want to thank you for not harming Yuffie.*
**Why are you changin' the subject?!**
*No reason, hehe.*
**Well, I'm glad I got to kill someone at least. Killing Rufus was a blast!!**
*The important thing is that you didn't harm anyone else. Especially Yuffie.*
**Yuffie this, Yuffie that, I think you're in love with the girl!**
*...............*
**I KNEW IT!!!!!!**
*I never said a thing!!*
**Ho ha ha ha! I thought you only loved that Lucrecia woman!**
*I used to love her, not anymore. She fell for Hojo, not me and I even tried to protect her, but she kept pushing me away...*
**...And?**
*And she never loved me and she never wanted to come near me.*
**Oh.**
*Listen, I really don't have time to talk about her, okay?*
**What's the rush? You aint goin' nowhere.**
*Yes, but I also want to talk to Yuffie.*
**Then go on ahead!**
*Okay, I will!*
Yuffie walked back in the room with a plate of apples and peanut butter, cheese and crackers, and some small, triangle shaped sandwiches. She sat back down on the bed and set the plate between them.
Vincent sat back up and felt even greater pain than the last time. "Owwww..." he flinched and rubbed his back with his good hand. Yuffie put her hand on his back lightly. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I guess. These damn cuts hurt pretty bad when you move around much." Vincent said. "Let me see your back." Yuffie asked. Vincent scooted around so that his whole back was facing her. Yuffie's eyes widened. "Oh gawd! Vinnie, these are worst than I thought!" Vincent didn't flinch at the nick- name this time. He actually...liked it.
Yuffie put her hand on his back again and moved her finger across the cuts. Vincent's cuts on his back were two long lines about 4 or 5 inches away from each other and each one went up his back; from his lower back to his upper back, they were about a foot and 1 of four quarters long.
Yuffie could see that the cuts were very deep. "These must be where Chaos' wings came out." she said not taking her finger off one of the cuts. Vincent nodded. Yuffie took her hand off his back and Vincent turned back around to face her. He looked down at the plate of food.
"Oh, and I got us some really good snacks!" she said cheerfully. Vincent picked up one of the trianglar shaped sandwiches. It had turkey, lettus, cheese, and tomatos on it. He took a bite out of it and smiled. "This is pretty good!" Yuffie giggled. "I'm glad you like it." Yuffie picked up a sandwich, too, only hers had just turkey and lettus on it. She took a bite.
"I hope you don't mind if I ask you this, but..." she swallowed her food. "What's it like to transform into Chaos?" "Horrible." Vincent said quickly. "It's painful and you can't control him."
"...How painful?" Yuffie asked. "Very. You can feel the wings rip out of your back and the other cuts as well." Vincent replied. "Also, did you know that I cannot be healed when Chaos cuts me?"
"Yeah, Tifa told me that when I was getting snacks. She also told me that Cid doesn't hate me." Yuffie said. "Yes, he told me that he wanted to be friends with you again." Vincent replied. "Do you know the story behind Phoenix and Chaos though?"
"Yeah, remember you told me when we were saving the world?" she asked. "Oh yeah...I remember." Vincent took another bite of his sandwich and Yuffie grabbed a slice from an apple and dipped it into the peanut butter. "Mmm mmm!" She giggled.
Vincent chuckled and grabbed a cracker and put some cheese on it. Yuffie quit eating the apple and Vincent fed her the cracker by hand. Yuffie took small bites and laughed after she swallowed. Vincent started feeding her another one and began to laugh.
As soon as Yuffie got done eating the other cracker she put some cheese on another cracker and put it up to Vincent's mouth. She giggled. "My turn to feed you now!"
Vincent took small bites out of the cracker in her hand. They both laughed and laughed and fed each other crackers and cheese until it was fun no more.
Bad chapter ending, but I had to save some for the next chapter! (If I even write it....) Well I hope you liked this chapter and please R&R.
