My Dead Angel

Chapter 3- Yuffie's Gift to Vincent

Yuffie took a deep breath, Vinnie probably doesn't even have a clue...nyuk nyuk nyuk....Yuffie smiled, it was gonna be perfect...or so she hoped. All the times Yuffie had went away when she tried to make Vincent think she was a little upset really she was going to this jewelry store to see if his ring was ready. It would be the best gift for him and it would help get her mind off things. It was black with gold trimming on the sides, on the top of the ring was a large flat surface and inside this flat surface would be the design of a rose, a flat small rose hand painted or something. Engraved in the inside was " I Promise..." It just had to be perfect. Yuffie quickly walked over to the small little jewelry store, she walked inside and greeted Amelia. Amelia had dark brown hair and brown eyes, about 5'6 to be exact. So Yuffie was taller." Is it ready!!??" They had told Yuffie about a few days ago it would be ready in...oh two to three days.

Amelia smiled, " Of course dear. Let me go and get Joe he'll give you the ring in a nice black velvet box. Then you get to write a little note inside. On the top it says Vinnie is that all right?" " Where on the top..?" Amelia chuckled, " The box dearie..." Yuffie nodded her head, " That'll be fine Amelia." Amelia smiled before disappearing in the back room to get Joe. Yuffie sighed, if she was lucky he she might even get a few chuckles from him. They weren't married and she knew that but....how do I explain...? She just felt she needed to get him something. Amelia soon appeared with Joe behind her. He had light brown hair and cerulean blue eyes. He was about 6'1 pretty big guy in Nibelheim if you ask me. " Hello Yuffie." His voice was raspy and he sounded older than he was. " Joe, right?" He nodded his head, then showed her a smooth, black velvet box with Vinnie in gold on the top. He handed it to her, Yuffie picked it up gently and opened it. It was perfect, the exact way she had described it.

Yuffie squealed with delight and gave Amelia a hug. She shook hands with Joe since she didn't feel to comfortable around him. " Thank you guys soo much." Yuffie dropped 25,000 gil on the desk and smiled once more before leaving. " She carries a lot of money with her doesn't she?" " She is a ninja best of them I heard...so she really doesn't have to worry." ' Hmm.." Joe shrugged before returning back to the back room Amelia did the same.

Vincent sighed, Yuffie seemed very cross with him lately. Did I do something wrong? Am I being to serious? Vincent just couldn't understand...he sighed once more before wiping his brow wear sweat had begun to form. He was having a hard time making his garden look nice. Although she was gone much and it made him worry it was quite handy at the moment. The mansion's garden used to beautiful, then when he was locked away in that coffin it was simply forgotten about and weeds and everything began to grow for 30 years or more. He smiled as sweat trickled down his forehead it was funny how he though Aeris or Tifa were going to be the first to break through his strange barrier. But nope neither of them could it was Yuffie. She was the one who destroyed all of his barriers so she could get to know the real him. Vincent smiled wider this time he knew what he was going to give her...it was going to be " VINNIE!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!" Vincent quickly snapped out of his little thoughts and quickly snuck through the back he ran into his room before she could see him placed the tools in his closet and jumped in the shower.

Yuffie didn't understand where could a man like him could be right now. Until she heard the shower running she knew what he was doing. Oh well.... She sighed and walked up the stairs to their bedroom. The others thought they were taking it too fast. But what would they know? Vincent and her knew what they were doing, no need to worry. Yuffie made it to the top of the stairs and walked inside the room. Vincent was on the bed putting his shirt on. " Vinnie!!" Yuffie jumped on him and gave him a big bear hug. Vincent sighed, before he would have thought her an annoying teenager, now she was his lover and angel. " Guess what?" " Hmm...?" Yuffie got off of him and sat next to him. Luckily she still had her small little bag that contained the velvet case, which contained the ring. " Close your eyes!" Vincent looked at her, " Do I-" " Close your eyes, or no present." Vincent sighed and closed his eyes. She quickly pulled the ring out and grabbed his hand. Vincent opened his eyes but luckily Yuffie caught him and covered them with her other hand. " No peeking!" She placed the ring on his finger and watched his face excitedly. " Open them now!"

Vincent opened his eyes, they instantly came into contact with Yuffie stormy gray eyes, she was obviously watching his face for a reaction. Might as well look down. Vincent took a glance at his ring, then looked back. He smiled, " Yuffie, thank you." " It was nothing. You like it?" He nodded his head, " It wonderful." I never received something of such value...value in... " Look inside the ring!" Vincent took the ring off gently and looked inside, there were words engraved and they said, " I Promise...." He smiled. Vincent looked at Yuffie then pulled her close for a hug. Yuffie returned the hug and sighed. Vincent inhaled the scent of Yuffie's shampoo, it smelled like....lavender. " Come on, let's get to bed." Yuffie nodded her head and pulled out of his embrace. She went over to the bathroom and closed the door. She changed into her nightgown, which was a pale blue with clouds on it. Vincent just slept in his boxers.

Yuffie didn't write a small note since she thought they were dumb, besides her arm had been hurting lately. She sighed before stepping out of the bathroom and walked towards the bed. Vincent lifted the covers for her and she gladly crawled in. There they lay cuddled close together. " Good night Vinnie." " Good night my angel..." He kissed her then he sighed once more before wrapping his arms around her small form and slept. There would be no nightmares, they no longer existed since Yuffie came into his life. He sighed peacefully in his sleep. Yuffie wasn't asleep yet, instead she watched him. He was so....so mysterious. " Having fun watching me?" Yuffie smiled, " You know I always do..."
