Hey I'm really sorry it's been a while. You see my mom disconnected the internet for a long time and I haven't been able to get on and send this. But I'll make up for it by updating the story more and more regularly. Translation: Every week. But if this is my last post I'm really, really, really sorry, that only means that my mom disconnected the internet again. But still here's Chapter Three of Lucrecia After Lifestream!

Chapter Three:

For the rest of the night Vincent and Nakera remained a distance from each other. Barely speaking because Nakera was too angered with Vincent to even look at him. Vincent however, was terribly confused over his actions. Why had he done that?

Vincent sat on the roof of the inn, questioning himself and his past. Mainly trying to figure out why his reactions from earlier were set on Nakera.
"It doesn't make sense...Why did I do that? I hardly know the girl...But a part of me does." Vincent said in thought. He took off his bandana and sniffed it, closing his eyes. "It smells so much like her..." he said aloud. A small rock hit him in the head.
"Who's 'her'?" Nakera called from the ground below. "Me or Lucrecia!?" Vincent threw the rock back at her. But before the rock could land or even hit Nakera it stopped in mid air and she snatched it.
"I thought I told you not to speak of her!" Vincent shouted at her.
"Yeah well," Nakera started tossing the rock in the air. "I'm not talking about her, I'm asking a question? Now who's 'her'? Me or Lucrecia?" Vincent leapt off the roof.
"Why does it concern you? It's not like you are her reincarnation!" Vincent suddenly stopped, and started to examine her. "But it could be possible..." he said softly. Nakera turned her head away from him.
"I head that you know...Damnit why the hell am I talking to you! I'm furious with you and in addition...I HATE YOU!" she shouted in his face. Vincent, was now plastered against the inns outer wall.
".........I don't hate you..." he said reluctantly. Nakera blinked.
"Well then..." she said in slight suspense. "I'm going to back away before you do something crazy...again." She then leapt off the ground on to the inns roof and dropped a small rock on his head. "Ha, ha took your spot!"

Vincent sunk to the ground and sighed, took out a small gun and used his bandana to clean it off, in case of any blood spray that reached it. The inn's door opened and Tifa came out and looked around.
"Vincent! Nakera! Where are you two!?" she called. A hand grabbed around her wrist and a crimson-eyed face looked at her.
"You don't have to shout..." he said releasing her wrist leaving a small mark in her gloves. "I'm right here..." Tifa stared at him.
"Where's Nakera?" she asked. Vincent extended a clawed finger toward the roof and looked up. Tifa looked up with him.
"See for yourself..." he said emotionlessly. Tifa stared at the roof.
"Where is she? I can't find her." she said. Vincent turned away from the inn doorway and sighed, jumping on the roof and floating downward with Nakera, held by the collar.
"She's right here..." Vincent said. Nakera crossed her arms.
"And I'm staying on the roof!" she shouted at Vincent. "Let me back up there you ignoramus! I want to be alone and reflect on all the damned mistakes I've made in this shitty life of mine!" she tore out of Vincent's grip and jumped back on to the roof and called down to them. "Like falling in love with a person who would put you in an insane asylum!"

After hearing those words he signaled for Tifa to go back in and that he was going to watch out for Nakera. For several minutes Vincent leaned against the outer right side of the inn gazing up at the roof awaiting Nakera's witty insult towards him.
About an hour passed before Vincent, believe it or not, was getting worried. He called up to her several time but got no answer. He had figured she was asleep or plotting suicide. He then returned to the roof and walked over to Nakera who was sitting at the edge. Vincent slowly put his arm around her shoulder. She didn't care what he was doing she just leaned against him and sobbed into his cloak. Vincent then lifted up her head and wiped away some of the tears from her face. "There is never a need to cry over pointless reasons...Only cry when you know it is appropriate. Like when the one person you love more than anything, exits this world." he said softly. "What if the reason they left is because you did it...?" she asked recalling everything from before she had been transported into the game. "The only person I ever loved, died by like some alter ego of myself who was truly insane and cannibalistic. I'm the reason he died. It's been almost five years since that incident...and I haven't loved since..." Vincent who had his head turned from her, looked her in the eyes quite abruptly. "You say you haven't loved anyone since that day? I know what it is like to feel that way..." he said pushing Nakera's bangs from her face. "If you do not like what I'm to attempt...please forgive me." He pushed her eyelids down. "Keep the closed." Before Nakera could respond Vincent put his lips to hers and held a partially long kiss. Nakera suddenly opened her eyes. "W-what t-the hell-" Nakera got cut off in her sentence by Vincent speaking in a mysterious but gentle voice. "...........I love you..........." was all he could say.
