"Today was so tiring. I am going to sleep like a rock tonight." Yuffie said to herself sitting on the ledge of a balcony. There was a 2 day long festival in Costa del Sol and it all started at night with a ball. Everyone who went had to be dressed in formal attire. Yuffie wore a long silver spaghetti strap dress with silver shoes. Tifa picked it out for her, saying she knew what she was doing and would embarrass Yuffie. Everyone was in the ballroom dancing, and Vincent was being forced to dance with all the Costa del Solian girls who thought he looked cute in his black tux. But who could blame them? He did look pretty hot.
"I wish I could see the stars." Yuffie said to herself.
"They look like little silver dots in the sky. Sure they look kinda nice, but nothing compared to you, my dear."
"Who was that? Vinnie...was that you trying to scare me?"
"No...do you not remember me? Now I'm hurt, because you did try to KILL ME! "
"S-S-Sephiroth?"
"How ever did you guess?"
"You are supposed to be dead!"
"I couldn't stand another minute without seeing you, dearest Yuffie. Please, come with me. Be my wife!"
"Do you really expect me to just walk away with you?! Leave me alone! VINNIE! HELP ME! CLOUD! TIFA! ANYONE! HELP ME!" Yuffie started screaming. She tried to get off of the ledge, but was scared she would fall.
"Now now, that is no way a lady should act." Sephiroth walked to Yuffie and put his arms around her stomach and waist.
"Don't touch me! HELP ME! PLEASE!"
"*sigh* I am sorry, but I have no choice. I have to sedate you. I did hope you would cooperate." Sephiroth pulled out a long sharp needle from what appeared to be nowhere. He grabbed her arm and injected the fluid into her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh......" Yuffie stopped screaming and fell against Sephiroth's body.
"This is for your own good." Sephiroth whispered to her.
"YUFFIE! WHERE ARE YOU? YUFFIE!" Vincent was running towards the balcony, and grabbed his Death Penalty when he saw Sephiroth. "YOU! Let her go!"
"If I was to let her go, she would fall. You wouldn't want that, now would you?"
"You know what I mean. Let her go! I'll kill you!"
"You? Kill me? Hahahahahahahahaha! Do you really think you could? And shouldn't you worry about your dear friend, Miss Yuffie? I have just injected a fluid in her. It could be just a normal sedative, but it could also be a number of things. A lethal fluid, Jenova cells, poison, anything to hurt or even kill her."
"You wouldn't do anything to hurt her. You love her! Or...so you think." Cloud said as everyone appeared from behind Vincent.
"I see. Well, you watch her back. I will be returning for her. Don't think this is the end. Until next time!" Sephiroth disappeared and Yuffie fell backwards, off of the balcony.
"NO! YUFFIE!" Vincent was so angry at Sephiroth that Chaos took over him. The beast ran off the balcony and caught Yuffie in mid air. Then he flipped over so he was on the bottom and Yuffie was on top. He fell on the cement ground near the pool as everyone looked from on top of the balcony down to see if Yuffie and the beast form of Vincent were OK.
"YO, MAN! YOU OK?" Barrett asked.
".......ow......." Vincent replied. He turned back into his regular form.
"Why didn't you just fly, you moron?!?!?!?!" Cloud asked.
"*groan* *cough* ...what...happened?" Yuffie asked quietly in a slurry voice.
"Yuffie! Are you OK? We you fell off the balcony." Vincent said.
"And you caught me...just like you promised you would. I think you have some type of..."
"Sixth sense?" Vincent finished before she could.
"Ummm...yeah. I guess you do, huh?" Yuffie was getting giggly now.
"Only a little. You should see the doctor though. I think the tranquilizer Sephiroth gave you is making you hyper and way too giggly for the real Yuffie." Vincent replied smiling.
"Well, the real Yuffie just flew out the window and jumped in a meat grinder!" She said with an even bigger smile. "Hehehehehehe! Let's go join her! Please!"
"..." Vincent just smiled a little smile, but was a little worried that Yuffie wanted to be ground beef. Wait. Does that mean I think she is a cow? Vincent thought to himself.

"Yuffie? The parade is going to start. Hurry up!" Cait Sith said through the closed door. Everyone was doing something else and Cait Sith was the one who had to make sure Yuffie didn't hurt herself trying to get to the parade spot. They told Yuffie it was a "surprise" and Yuffie couldn't wait to see...know what it was.
"I am hurry, but this is kind of difficult! You try dressing blind! Oh, wait. I'm sorry. I forgot that you don't wear any clothes!"
"Hey! I appreciate the breeze and it makes me feel nice and free." Cait Sith said in defense.
"...eeeeewww...I so did not need to know that."
After 5 minutes, Yuffie came out of her room dressed in her usual clothes and her headband in her hand.
"OK. Let's go!" Cait Sith said eagerly.
"WAIT! I can't walk as fast as you!"
"Fine. I'm just gonna have to carry you, huh?" Cait Sith said as he picked her up with one hand.
"Put me DOWN you stupid @$$hole! DAMMIT! I need to learn to walk, you idiot! PUT ME DOWN!"
Yuffie screamed all the way to the spot, where the now deaf Cait Sith set her down.
"It's about time, stupid gambling crazed wanna be cat." Yuffie muttered to herself.
"*sigh* What I do for fortune telling customers." Cait Sith said as he walked away from Yuffie, leaving her by herself.
"So, where are we exactly?" Yuffie asked.
"Cait Sith? Cait Sith? D*MMIT, CAIT SITH DID YOU LEAVE ME HERE ALL BY MYSELF?!?!?!" When she got no reply, she started to go crazy.
"YOU STUPID PEACE OF SH*T MOTHER *&%((@*%$(@^$(@&%$(@$%($^@$&" Yuffie screamed. Everyone was starting at her now, but she didn't know that.
"FINE! SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR @$$ WHEN EVERYONE FINDS OUT I AM MISSING! ESPECIALLY VINNIE!" Yuffie screamed again as she walked where ever she felt like walking.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"OK, is everything ready?" Tifa said as she added another flower to the float. "Make sure the flowers aren't missing any petals. Yuffie is going to sit in the middle, and Vincent is going to stand here, and Cloud is over there and..."Tifa was pointing here and there of where everyone was going to sit.
"Tifa, we know. You only (^$&%^ told us 1000000000000000000000000 *&^%#$( times!" Cid said.
"Well, sooorrrrrrry, Cid! I was just making sure everyone knew where to go! You can just do this yourself, if you think I am so pushy!" Tifa said as she stormed to the bar.
"Cid, you sh*tf*cker! You know she is the only one here who has a sense of what a good float should look like. I'm pretty sure you don't know how to arrange these flowers on the float." Cloud said as he walked after Tifa.
"What is the *^$(*# problem? Why do people always take the side that doesn't include me?" Cid said as he grabbed a cigarette and walked around.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I can't take him! He is such a stupid, self-centered, little bastard! More please, bartender." Tifa said sliding her glass to the guy.
"No, she can't have anymore. And Tifa! Please! For Yuffie? I promise Cid won't do anything anymore. If he does, I'll shop his dick off and liquidize it in a blender." Cloud pleaded on his knees.
"Eeeeew, Cloud! You didn't have to get all graphic with me!" Tifa said clutching her stomach.
"So, you'll come back?"
"Yeah, I guess."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hmmm...now, it smells like...cigarettes...and...food...and...lilies...my mom's favorite flower..." Yuffie said to herself, as she stood unknowingly in front of a restaurant. The sidewalk was lined with lilies obviously. She fell down on her knees and felt around for one of the flowers, and found one. She smelled it and silver tears fell down her cheeks. "I miss you mom...are you happy now that dad is with you? Do you want me to join you? I can, you know. I would be pleased to join you and Go...dad."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"CAIT SITH! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LEFT YUFFIE BY HERSELF?!" Barrett yelled at Cait Sith. Everyone was busily working on the float, when Cait Sith pulled Barrett aside and told him the problem. Vincent, with his superior hearing, heard this and jumped from the top of the float of which he was working on and tackled Cait Sith to the ground.
"I hear that you left Yuffie by herself. Did you even think of what I would do to you if you did? Well, since it is apparent that you didn't, I feel like I want to either tear you apart so you have a slow painful death, or turn into Chaos and kill you that way. But that wouldn't be any fun. I wouldn't remember any of it." Vincent raged at the now almost paralyzed-with-fear Cait Sith.
"You wouldn't do that! You couldn't! That would be just...so horrible! We are supposed to be friends!"
"Oh, we are supposed to be friends, but you led Yuffie to her death! Sephiroth is after her you sissy @$$ bastard! And you still think you don't deserve to die!?!?!?!?" Vincent yelled. Everyone heard this and ran over to Vincent, Cait Sith and Barrett so see what was going on.
"..." Cait Sith was sweating with fear now. He was also starting to feel guilty.
"What is your f*cking problem? Would you like it if you were blind and we left you in the middle of a town when a guy who is supposed to be dead is after you?"
"What is going on?" Nanaki asked.
"This f*ck left Yuffie in the middle of town by herself!" Vincent said angrily. Everyone was amazed at his language.
"Cait Sith! You are so going to die!" Tifa said as she glared at him.
"Yeah, but if anyone gets to kill him, it's me. And as much as I would love to kill him right now, I think we should find Yuffie. Then deal with Cait Sith." Vincent said.
"Fine." Tifa looked at Cait Sith. "But you are going to stay right here and help Cid work on the float and if it looks like crap, I am going to kick you all the way to the next meteor!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yuffie was walking along the beach now. The owner of the restaurant got angry when he saw Yuffie with one of his lilies in her hand. He was ranting about how hard it was to get them to grow with all of the pollution and scarcity of the bulbs, so he kicked Yuffie out. But since the flower was already out of the ground, he let her keep it.
Yuffie removed her shoes and stepped into the cool water. The breeze ruffled her hair gently; Her headband still in her hand. She couldn't put it on by herself, and there was no way she was going to ask Cait Sith when they were still at the hotel. She didn't trust him with her stuff or appearance.
"This is to you, mom. I hope you can receive this flower from up there. I went through hell to get it, so you better like it!" Yuffie said sadly, but with a little humor. She threw the lily into the water and stood there, wishing she could see it float away.
"Yuffie? Is that you, my sweet?" The familiar voice sent fear through Yuffie's body. She was alone. And this time, she didn't have her shuriken to even attempt to protect herself.
"Sephiroth. Leave me alone. Please." Yuffie begged as she backed up, not knowing where he was.
"But I can't. I love you too much." He took her hands and kissed her hard on the lips. Vincent saw this.
"HEY! GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF MY WOMAN!" Vincent yelled.
"Your woman? She's mine. I don't know what you are talking about." Sephiroth said getting a little aggravated that he was disturbed during his one moment of alone-ness with Yuffie.
"Leave me alone Sephiroth! I don't love you! I don't like you! In fact, I hate you! Just go away!" Yuffie screamed.
"But, why? How could you hate me?"
"Well, gee. I wonder. You are only trying to rape me." Yuffie said sarcastically.
"It isn't rape if you hump back, you know." Sephiroth told her seductively.
"EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW! Great Leviathan help me!" Yuffie screamed in disgust.
"I can't be that bad. But whatever. I have an idea, Mr. Valentine. A duel. Winner takes Yuffie." Sephiroth said. "A fight to the death...that is, if you think you can kill me. I am supposedly already dead."
"How do I know you will keep your word?"
"You don't. But if you don't duel me, you give up Yuffie without a fight. If you fight me, you give up Yuffie without knowing it because you will be dead."
"Vinnie, no! He's lying! If he's alive now, what makes you think he will stay dead if you kill him again! And if he is already dead, there isn't really a way to kill him! Just go!"
"I made a promise to you Yuffie. I don't break my promises. I could never leave you alone in this kind of position." Vincent said as he walked toward Sephiroth.
"Excuse me, my dear. I have a little matter to attend." He kissed her on the cheek and threw her into the water.
"*cough* *sputter* OK, drown me then. Oh, and Sephie? If you ever kiss me again, I am going to chop off all your essentials, shove them down your throat, drag you by your hair into a pit of sharp stones and fire and throw you in!" Yuffie said as she tried to find which way to the shore.
She walked slowly away from the beach unfortunately and noticed this when she went from knee deep to waist deep in water.
"Ummm...just so you know after you kick Sephiroth's @$$, I am kind of stuck, Vinnie." Yuffie said.
"Kick my a...what? You believe he will beat me? Now I am hurt!" Sephiroth said with sad eyes.
"Oh don't gimme that! You baby! As if I would root you on after throwing me in the water and making me fall off a balcony anyways! Jerk!" Yuffie yelled back.
Using this little interference for an advantage, Vincent attacked Sephiroth with a level 3 lightning magic. It didn't do much damage though.
"Ummm...just so you know, that didn't hurt. But for trying to kill me, I am going to kill you slowly and painfully!" Sephiroth said as he used a level 3 Earth/Quake magic. This almost killed Vincent, but he cured himself and used barrier.
"Hmmm...should I use fire, or ice? I think I will use fire, so you can have an early taste and feel of what hell is like!" As Sephiroth used a level 3 fire magic. The barrier helped only a little, and Vincent had to heal himself again, but now his limit level was high, and he transformed into Chaos.
"Oooohh. Big scary Chaos. What are ya gonna do, bite me with your big scary teeth? Or scratch me with your long sharp claws?" Vincent then attacked Sephiroth who was so off guard with his taunting, that he didn't have enough time to dodge Chaos's fierce attacks. Sephiroth's health was low enough now, that he had to heal himself, but before he could, he died, not knowing what hit him.
"Huh? Did I do that?" Vincent asked after he was Vincent again. He was bleeding where the wings were and his clothes were torn.
"No, it was me. I can't believe I actually hit him! That is why you should always have a spare materia in your possession at all times. WOOOHOOOO! I BEAT SEPHIROTH! With the help of Vinnie, but I BEAT SEPHIROTH! YAY!" Yuffie said as she fell under water, tripping on some drift wood.
"YUFFIE! EEEEKKK!" Vincent yelled as he ran to his ninja. He pulled her above water and she managed to sputter a "thank you" while still holding tight to her headband, or what she thought was her headband, but was actually was some seaweed.
"Yuffie, why do you have seaweed in your hand" Vincent asked.
"You mean it isn't my headband? NOOO! I LOST IT! HELP ME FIND IT, VINNIE!" Yuffie screamed as she started running her hand on the sand, feeling for her headband.
After about 10 minutes, they stopped looking for it because it was taking forever to find it, and the waves could have washed it out further in the sea.
"Do you want to use my headband for now?" Vincent asked.
"You mean it? You won't mind?"
"Why would I mind? I mean I asked you if you wanted to use it, didn't I?"
"I don't know, I was just asking. I can't put it on though, so can you..." Yuffie started.
"Put it on? Sure." Vincent said. He put it on her like hers was, with the two strands dangling to the middle of her back. When he finished, he turned her to face the ocean, and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You being here with me is enough to make me happy forever. I hope you never leave me. Please don't. And if you do, I will just lock myself in my coffin for the rest of my eternal life." Vincent said softly in her ear.
"Don't worry, Vinnie. I'm pretty sure I told you before, but I will never leave you. You give my life meaning." Yuffie turned her head and kissed Vincent on the cheek.
"I hope you know I am not happy with just a kiss on the cheek." Vincent said as he let go of her waist and turned her around.
"I didn't think you would."
"Well, since you know that much..." He kissed her impatiently and she returned the kiss with the same impatience. When the broke off the kiss, Vincent remembered the parade and the surprise.
"We have to go now, Yuffie. There is still a surprise waiting for you." Vincent put her on his back and carried her to the float.
