(Wai! I've almost got 20 reviews! XDDDD Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate it! I'm glad people take time out of their day to read my ficcies! Anyway, here's the next chapter! Yoroshiku!)
Slowly, Vincent opened his eyes. Apparently, he had fallen asleep at some point in the night. He sat up and looked around; it was still dark and he was in the same spot he was in when he had fallen down...Chaos had not taken over.
Suddenly, he realized that his hair was blocking his vision more than usual. He ran his human hand through it, but that did not help; it just fell right back to its original position. He needed his bandana. Vincent sighed; he did not feel like fighting with it at that moment. In fact, he did not feel like doing anything...He just wanted to die.
/You know...I could help you./
It was Chaos again.
Vincent leaned back against the tree and sighed once more. "Leave me alone." he moaned. He was tired and annoyed. Why did Chaos have to bother him all the time? Not in thirty-three years had he been totally alone. He wanted to have complete solitude...However that was something Hojo had cursed him with...He could never keep his own thoughts to himself. There were always people listening...Even if it was Chaos. Vincent had never enjoyed the company of the beast, and often wished it would go away...Of course, that only made Chaos mock him more.
/There's still that girl in Wutai...We have to kill her...That's why you came here. And since that pilot is there too, we might as well kill him./
He shook his head slowly. "I did not come to Wutai to harm anyone." he said softly, "I came here to see Yuffie." He knew that Chaos would try this, and so now he was trying to push him away. Vincent did not want to have to battle his demons forever...But most important of all, he did not want to hurt Yuffie or Cid.
/Yes...You love her...Why not take advantage of her?/
The gunman squeezed his eyes shut, as if to shut out Chaos. "I would never do such a horrible thing to her." he said sternly, "Nothing you say will make me change my mind." He could not let himself give in to Chaos...If he did, then he would probably kill her.
/You're right. Everywhere we go, we take lives...First Lucrecia, then your son, that girl, Yuffie's father.../
"Leave me alone!" he screamed, clutching his head with his right hand; his claw was refusing to work...
But was it true? He knew that it was his fault Lucrecia had died and that it was his fault that Sephiroth was even born in the first place. So, it was true...Chaos was right...Why did it seem like he was always right?
Everywhere Vincent went, people were always getting hurt. For so long, nothing in his life had gone right. It seemed that ever since he and Lucrecia had made love to each other, his life had begun to tumble down hill...But when he met Yuffie, he thought that he might have a chance to change his life. He thought he could make things better...But now there was no chance of that happening. He knew that Yuffie would never forgive him for murdering her father like that.
/See? Even you admit that I'm right...We should go back to Wutai...And you should let me kill her./
Vincent's eyes shot open and he stood up. "I will not do as you say!" he said, very angry, "I'm going to get as far away from Wutai as I can." He started running as fast as he could. But before he could get very far, he felt someone grab his wrist. He broke free from their grasp and turned around...
It was Yuffie.
What could Vincent do now?
"W-Why did you come out here?" Vincent asked, startled. He did not understand what drove Yuffie all the way out there...Perhaps she had come to kill him...But how had she found him? Vincent was amazed at the ninja's stamina, however, he was not sure if her coming out there was such a good thing or not. He wanted to love her, he wanted to hold her so much that it made his chest hurt...It was his own fault, though, that now he could not do so.
Yuffie glared up at him, her grey eyes red and puffy from crying. She held the Conformer in her right hand and was breathing hard and fast. "Vincent..." she said, "Why did you do it? Why did you kill my Father?!" Her tone was a very upset and desperate one...But she needed no reason to kill the murderer of her father. She wanted revenge and she wanted it now.
Vincent looked away from her, too ashamed of himself to meet her eyes. "I know this may sound strange..." he began, "However, it was Chaos...He took over without having to transform. It was he who killed your father, and that other woman...I will understand completely if you do not believe me." At that moment, that was all Vincent could say. He did not want to lie to her, so he gave her the flat out truth.
The ninja rolled her eyes. "That's bull!" she snapped, "After all this time I thought you were my friend, now I see the true Vincent! You probably just came here to kill everyone, didn't you? We never should have woken you up when we went to that damn place in Nibleheim!!!" Her body shook with sobs as she yelled at him. After all the battles she had been through, she had never felt so angry before...Yuffie wanted to kill Vincent now...
"And worst of all!" Yuffie went on, "You made me fall in love with you! If I had known you were such a horrible man, I'd have killed you a long time ago!"
Those words seemed to echo in Vincent's mind...Yuffie was in love with him? But why?
If only she would believe him; then they could sort things out. Vincent dared not look at her; he could practically feel her rage in his bones. He hated Chaos, but now he hated himself even more. Suddenly, he decided that if Yuffie did not kill him, he would. "Yuffie...Please, you have to believe me..." he whispered, almost inaudible.
Yuffie scoffed. "Oh yeah?! Says who? You?!" she screamed, "I don't think so! I think I'll just kill you now and get it over with!!" She brought up her Conformer slowly, her hand shaking horribly.
Vincent stood silent; he was ready for death to take him.
