Chapter 4
(Maa...Oo;;;;; Thanks for all the great reviews! I am reading them ne...Just so everyone knows...^_^ It always makes me happy to see 'em. Anyway, here's the 4th part!)
Later that day, Cid arrived with a big grin on his face. He did not look much different from how Vincent remembered him. The three of them were seated in Yuffie's living room, talking about what had been going on after the defeat of Sephiroth.
"Vinny, you haven't said anything about what you've been doin'." Cid grumbled, lighting a cigarette.
Vincent sighed. "I haven't been doing much." he said, "Just wandering the Planet." He tried to forget about the woman and concentrate on what was happening at that moment...But it was no use. It seemed as though the woman's ghost hung right over him. He had never worried so much about killing before, however, this was different. The woman had commited no crime.
It was just another sin that he would have to atone for.
Cid nodded slowly. "Must be damn great..." he mused, "I'd never be able ta do that...What with me an' Shera an' all." He grinned and gave Vincent a friendly punch on the shoulder. "What about you? Ever got over that broad from whenever it was?"
The gunman rolled his eyes. "You mean Lucrecia." he said and glanced at Yuffie, "I will not ever forget her...She's too dear to me." The entire time he spoke, he stared at Yuffie. Was he falling in love with her? It did not seem likely...But he felt in his heart that it was happening. Maybe he could finally get over Lucrecia.
Yuffie smiled. "Was she nice? You barely ever talk about her!" she exclaimed, her voice high and squeaky.
Vincent looked up thoughtfully. "She was very nice, Yuffie." he replied, "However, I do not wish to talk about her." After that, he was silent. He did not want to remember Lucrecia...It was far too painful for him. The things that had happened because of their affair...The person who was created out of it...He wanted to forget about that most of all.
That person...
The one he had helped defeat...It seemed as though it had only happened seconds ago when he thought about it. The more Vincent thought about it, the more it hurt him. He knew that if he had not helped Cloud and the others though, he would have regretted it. But still...To see his own son be killed by his companion? Was it really worth it?
"Well...If you don't...I won't force ya!" Yuffie said with yet another smile. She seemed so happy...But she did not feel happy at that moment. All this time, she had been watching Vincent...And something in his eyes just seemed sad. She wanted to know what was bothering him, but she was not about to ask him about it in front of Cid...
Why was he always so sad anyway?
Yuffie never understood what bothered him so much...She assumed that it was Lucrecia...But no one knew for sure. There was no one she could ask about it either; all the people from Vincent's past were dead now. Yuffie wished with all her heart that there was something she could do to help him get through whatever it was that upset him...But at that moment, there was nothing she could do.
She did not know what to do...
End part 4! ^___^
