[Chapter 16: My Princess]





Later that night, Yuffie and Vincent stayed quiet in the jail cell. Yuffie just HAD to strike up a conversation, or else she would die, or so she thought. She lyed in the jail cell bed with her hands behind her head while she looked up at the ceiling. She could see the midnight star's light shine through the dark cell and around part of the room. She closed her eyes and thought.

Vincent, however, was sitting in a corner of the dark side of the room. He was barely visible to Yuffie and had his cape covering his face. Yuffie looked over to him. All she saw was part of his goldish boot. His raven black hair covered most of his face, along with his cape.

"Hey Vinnie...." Yuffie sighed. She saw the cape slide off his face and his hair fall down to his shoulders. She hoped she hadn't of woke him.

"Yes?" Vincent said in a deep monotoned voice. "Umm...I was just wondering...if your cold sitting over there, you can have the bed." Yuffie pushed the covers off her and sat up. Vincent slowly got to his feet. "I'm fine, I have this warm cape on, so you can sleep in the bed. Hopefully we can call Cid tommorow and get the hell out of here."

Yuffie nodded. "Are you sure you don't want it?" Vincent nodded. "Yeah...and besides, you have a cold outfit on. You should sleep in the bed and stay warm." Vincent sat back down. Yuffie layed back down on the bed. "Alright...." she pulled the covers over herself. There was only one thin layer of cover to stay warm.

Yuffie shivered a bit. She shouldn't of got out of bed at all, but now she had lost most of her body heat from standing up and letting the cool breeze from the window hit her. She rolled over to look the opposite way of Vincent and to look at the wall the bed was against.

Vincent could see Yuffie clearly, for the moon light and stars shone over the bed and over that part of the cell. He saw her shivering within the blankets.

He got up slowly and took of his cape. He walked over to the bed and put the cape over her and the other cover. Her shivering reduced a bit, but not much. He could hear her mumble something.

"....Thanks....." she said still shivering. She rolled over and looked up at Vincent. He looked down at her. He sighed lightly. "Scoot over, Yuffie." Yuffie did. She scooted as far as she could against the wall. Vincent slowly took off his boots and slid in the bed by her.

Right then, Yuffie and Vincent felt a strong bond in their hearts, they didn't know why, but they had a pretty good idea it was of trust. Yuffie trusted Vincent more and Vincent trusted Yuffie more.

"Do you have enough room?" Vincent asked her. Yuffie nodded. He knew she was lying. For he saw her backed up into the wall as far as she could to give him room.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of room, go ahead and get comfortable if you want." Vincent wanted her to go ahead and get comfy so when she woke up, she wouldn't be sore from cramping up against the wall. Yuffie streched her legs out. Vincent pulled the cover and cape up to her neck. She smiled.

"C'mon, I know you're not comfy yet..." Vincent said. "What do ya mean?"

"Don't ball yourself up like that, you'll be sore in the morning." "But--" Vincent cut her off. "But nothing. Well, just do what you want, I'm going to sleep." Vincent faced the other direction. He also had noticed Yuffie had quit shivering. He knew his body heat would warm her up.

Yuffie decided to make the best of the moment with Vincent. After all, this event might not ever take place again. She outstreched her arms and legs. And before she knew it, she was already about an inch away from Vincent.

Of course, Vincent sensed this and felt all kinds of emotions run through his body. He shifted from his side to his back. Yuffie lay her head on his chest and one of her arms around his waist and closed her eyes. She then quickly relized what she was doing and about jumped out of bed.

"I-I-I'm sorry...." Yuffie looked away. Vincent had to build up a lot of courage to say what he was about to say right then. "Yuffie...I don't mind. I mean, we are closer now, aren't we?" Yuffie smiled. She had really wanted to be close to Vincent. Especially like this, yet she wondered how she ended up in jail, in a bed with Vincent. What an awkward situation, she thought. She even giggled softly at the thought.

"What's so funny?" Vincent asked. "Oh nothing...." she giggled some more. He yawned and closed his eyes as soon as Yuffie quit laughing. "Are you cold?" he asked. "No, thanks to you, I'm nice and warm." She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "Thanks..." she said and before she knew it, again, she did the same thing of wrapping her arm around his waist and resting her head on his chest, only this time, she MEANT to do it.

Vincent smiled to himself and gently stroked her chocolate brown hair with his good hand and pulled the covers back up to their necks with his claw. Yuffie smiled. She had never been treated so nicely in her life by anyone, and to think, Vincent Valentine was the one who really cared for her. Sure there were Cloud and Tifa and everyone else, but she was pretty sure Vincent almost LOVED her.

Moments later, A very relaxed Yuffie fell asleep side-by-side Vincent. He pulled her closer without waking her. He smiled and looked at the way she slept. She looked so innocent whenever she was sleeping. So beautiful, he thought, and yet, so vulnerable.

"Yuffie...my Princess..." were his last words before drifting off.
