~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Vincent? " Yuffie called in a soft tone, taking in the surroundings of his room
It wasn't a very pleasant place, and it was difficult to make out any objects in the room. What she could see was the curtains, that had a bright yellow glow from the streetlights outside. The curtains were black, and by the formidable lack of light in the room, she could tell that that was the exact color of everything else.
The only light that actually came from the room, was a lamp next to the bed. Vincent must have used it to read, or whatever he did in his room. She remembered how often he read on The Highwind, he seemed so comfortable while reading a book. It was like falling into a world where everything always happened good in the end, despite the hard times. She knew Vincent never felt this way about his life, she didn't feel like it either.
" Hi Yuffie... " Vincent said in a soft tone, the light of the lamp putting his face into view. He was sprawled out on his bed, his desheveled mass of hair laying in different directions. His crimson eyes stared as if he really had no emotions whatsoever. He looked tired, and pale. Yuffie could tell by how pale he was that he'd had an immense lack of light. He needed help badly, She was sure Cid would definitely agree with her...for the very first time in his life.
" Hi Vin..." she replied, forcing a smile onto her face. His room made her feel uncomfortable, as if her greatest Nightmare had come to life. She hated dakr places, and this would definitely be considered one. " I have to ask you something ".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cid sighed to himself, kicking his feet up on the footstool in front of him. He flipped through channels on the T.V., finally stopping at a Soap Opera. He sat back in the chair, blowing smoke rings continuesly.
No sound had came out of Vincent's room, and he was a bit glad. It made him feel relaxed for once, knowing that someone was checking on Vin. The dark man needed someone to connect to, he'd been through so much and it seemed to be getting him nowhere in life.
Cid wanted to try to know him, but Vincent was to moody. He even made Cid feel bad. But they were similar in so many ways, Vincent lost Lucrecia...and Cid...Cid...Cid lost...
Shera. How he missed her, it seemed to have only lasted a second and she was gone. They had finally grown a relationship, and were planning a future life together. The world was so cruel. It was a cruel world with cruel people. If there was a God, he must have hated him enough to cause Shera's death. How can that happen? It's not fair, It's just not fair.
He remembered the day she had gone to The Hospital, the day she told him to never stop smiling. She wanted him to continue on with his life, and maybe even fall in love again. He'd been trying his best, trying to get rid of his bad habits and do his best to please her. He believed, in some odd way, that she was still watching him.
Now Vincent really needed to do the same. He needed to stop dwelling on the past. Vin needed to lighten up. Yet, Cid had no idea how to get him to. Yuffie seemed like the only one who would be able to do something like that.
Cid groaned, getting up from his chair. He needed something to get Shera off his mind. Whenever he thought of her it only gave him a deep pain in his chest. He passed by several bottles of alcohol in the fridge. Instead, he though he'd try to wash his thoughts away with a Coke. He had to quit his drinking problem.
He opened the top of his bottle, sprawling out on the couch this time. He emediantly changed the channel, and eventually he came upon a documentary on Rocket Launches (LOL). It seemed to soothe him in a way. That was until his mind reversed back to Shera.
Why couldn't he get her out of his head! Was he cursed, or did all relationships have their toll on you. She was like a bunch of tricker treaters bugging him at Halloween, or Cloud and Zack tickling you to no end. It was madness!
He sat up from the couch, burrying his head in his hands. He had to control himself. He knew she wouldn't haunt him forever, he couldn't end up like Vincent. He had to remain a romodel to him. Yet, It was just to hard to swallow. He just missed her, and he felt like he'd drown in those memories of them living together.
At the moment, he felt like dying. That was until there was a hard knock on the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" So...What're you doin? " Yuffie smiled, her hands behind her back.
Vincent rose an eyebrow, the rest of his expression didn't change at all. His reply was sarcastic, but a bit funny she noticed, " Dusting Coffins...What does it look like? "
She giggled, then noticed how confused he looked. She always knew he couldn't show his expressions. It seemed that whenever someone showed how they felt in anyway, that he'd seem a bit curious and confused about it.
" Oh...That's nice... " she replied, blushing at her stupidity. She slapped herself in the head a couple times, then continued with her question. " I wanted to ask you if you could...um...tell me...your life story. I mean...if you don't want to I can just... "
" Alright "
" I knew it...I'll just...Wait! Oh Thank You! " She slapped herself on the head again, feeling like a total dope.
" Come and sit down... " he said, sitting up and slapping the spot next to him on the bed. She could see him alot better now that he was sitting uder the lamp. His red eyes were glowing in an odd way, as if he was alot happier. He was wearing a nice Indigo sweater, and a paire of black jeans. His long black hair was in his face, since there was nothing holding it up.
She smiled at him once again, she was glad that he still let her get close to him after all of the stupid comments she had made. He must have really felt a strong bond with her, for what reason she didn't know. They had nothing in common, and Yuffie was just an annoying little brat. How could he feel close to someone he barely knew. The only reason she could fugure out was that he admired how childish she was, that she could let go and let the world know that she loved it all. He was totally different.
Yuffie sprawled out next to him, laying on her belly. She smirked at him, and watched him shrug in respect. He was always like that, expressionless. It frightened her, but at the same time intrigued her. He seemed like a living dead man.
Vincent strectched out across the bed, getting comfortable. " Now. Where should I start? "
" Tell me how you met Lucrecia " Yuffie said, kicking her legs anxiously. She layed her head on her folded arms, and had completely forgotten how much that name made him wince. She had forgotten that he was still suffering, and was still drowning in it.
Vincent tried to hold back the tears, showing no sense that he had heard the name at all. " Ok...I met ' HER ' in Nibelheim ".
Yuffie closed her eyes as she continued, seeing all the images in her mind. She could see the small town of Nibelheim, with the few buildings it had. She could see the Mansion, and it's dark ugly grey color. She could also picture Vincent and Lucrecia walking around the Town, exchanging jokes and smiling back to one another. It seemed to her that they must have felt happy together, as if there was no Negative. They seemed to feel as if everything had a wondeful meaning, and there was no right or wrong.
She tried to replace Lucrecia with herself. It seemed impossible, they were just so happy. She could picture them kissing under the moon, and sleeping outside under the stars. It was like Heaven to her, she wished she could be that happy. She longed to be held like that, to feel protected and cared for. That was more than what her father had ever given her. He was so cold hearted.
The images in Yuffie's mind began to change. She could picture Hojo coming into the story, ruining Vincent's life. Hojo falling in love with Lucrecia, and telling Vincent to back off from their life together. The images were heartbreaking, and she could finally see the tormenting tribulations he had to live with.
" Vincent? " She suddenly interupted, kicking her feet again.
His red eyes glared and looked over to her. " Yes? "
" Why do you think that Lucrecia fell in love with Hojo? "
Vincent looked uneasy, but tried to answer without showing how he felt. " He tricked her...he wanted her to give birth to Sephiroth... " His eyes burned with Fury as he remembered what happened. He was powerless to stop Hojo.
" Oh Vin...I'm sorry that I'm making you relive this ".
He shook his head, his crimson eyes relaxed. " It's not your fault Yuffie...I'm just to hard on myslef ".
Yuffie smiled, watching him as he sat up again. She wanted to give him a hug, anything to cheer him up. And that's exactly what she did.
Vincent was surprised as the young Ninja threw her arms around him. He began to pat her back, his face shocked and confused. Why was she doing this? He wasn't worth all this trouble. But, for the first time in 20 Years, he did something he thought he'd never do again. Vincent smiled. It wasn't an amused smile, or a smile you get when someone says something stupid. It wasn't a smile of arrogance, it was a smile of Love. He actually felt loved.
Yuffie squeezed him tight, not wanting to let go. That's when she began to realize, that she was drifting off to sleep. She let herself just lay in his arms, not wanting to let go. Her eyes closed, and she let herself sleep. She wasn;t annoying at all when she slept, she just had that soft continues breathing. It was soothing.
Vincent layed back on his bed, watching as Yuffie slid down and layed her head on his chest. He didn't seem to mind, he actually liked being this close to someone. He layed his clawed arm on her back, hoping he could stay like this forever. But nothing lasts forever.

" What the @/&$ do you want! " Cid sneered angrily as he stood at the door.
Reno stood there, his long hair waving slightly in the wind. " We have a favor to ask of you Cid Highwind ".
Cid snorted, taking another puff of his cigarette. He had heard this before from Rufus, he wasn't going to take it again. " $@!& Right!! I aint that dumb! "
Reno smiled, looking over to the other two who stood next to him. Rude and Elena. Rude smiled back, and Elena just shook her head and sighed.
Reno turned his gaze back to Cid, throwing his Rod over his shoulder. " I knew you'd say something like that ".
Cid wasn't amused, he crossed his arms and watched the three Turks in curiosity. " I thought The Turks were over with... " he said.
Rude smirked, pushing down his sunglasses with his finger enough so you could see his confident eyes. " Were here to make a bargain, Old man. "
Cid rolled his eyes.
" You let us borrow the Highwind...and we bring back your precious Shera ".
Cid's cigarette dropped out of his mouth and fell to the ground.
