Ezri-Candy : Yes, only one more chappie... ::sniffle::
KittyPersona: I'm sorry you're gonna miss this fic, but... Nah, I'll leave that for after the chappie. Read onward!
Neko-Yuff16: Extend it? Hmmm... I'll think about the high school fic thing, so just keep a look out in case I decide to write it.
Hotaru170: I agree... Vinnie SHOULD kick Van Dam's arse... ANYWHO!!!
Superpup1357: You know me, by now. I just LOVE those cliffies. Or is it cliffys? Grah!
TheHomicidalManiac777: Y'know, I've been meaning to mention that your pen name's awesome... And I know, stupid cliffies... er... cliffys... GRAH! Whatever... I'm pure evil and infamous for ending chappies with cliff hangers.
Noriko: ::Sobs:: Final Chappie!!! ::Regains composure:: Oh! AUDI is my version of adios, because all of my friends took Spanish last year and I didn't. So, I made up AUDI to annoy them with yet another MeGG-made word! Like Scgrowl is a word I use all the time too! Try and say aloud, it's kinda funny and hillarious to use when you're irritated with your parnets! "Meagan! Get to your room!" "Oh, ScGrOwL!!" Tee-hee!
Fire Gremron: Yup, Just HAD to leave it there! Hmmm... I still might dedicate it to you! Tee-hee!
DarkFlame666: Like your pen name too!I'M UPDATIN' ALREADY!
Charles Xavier: Yes, she's already married, but she doesn't want to be. Sorry, I thought that it was clear, but no one else can see this fic the way I do, because I write what I think is clear, whereas it might not be to others.
Whew! Lotta people like muh story! Whoo-hoo! 35 reviews! WAHA! I'm HyPeR! And kinda depressed since this is the last chappie of Not Your Average 'Vinnie's a Vampire' Story! ::Sniff:: READ ONWARD!
Last Time: "I told you, Yuffie, that if it hadn't been for me, you would have been only a disgrace to your family. No one could ever love an inconsiderate-"
'One,' Hellmasker growled rather evilly.
"Spoiled-"
'Two,' Death Gigas snarled.
"Bratty ninja!"
'Three,' Chaos added, venom dripping in that single word. How frightened the grey eyes that the demons and Vincent oh-so-loved were, it irritated the demon to no end. 'Kill him,' he growled to his host. 'Rip him apart... Or allow me.'
Vincent's crimson eyes glared at his friend's husband. "Enough is enough, LORD Van Dam."
Chapter Seven: Vampire Vinnie-kun
The Lord-by-marriage looked at his verbal assaultant. "What's it to you, Valentine?" He cocked his head slightly to the left, allowing a silver light to fill the room.
Downcast gray eyes flickered up in time to see an evil gleam in her friend's scarlet eyes. "Oh, shit," she barely had time to mutter before Justin tossed her aside to save himself.
The vampire lunged at the Lord-by-marriage and would have caught him, had the ninja woman not interfered. "NO, Vincent," she said calmly, standing in front of him, her index pointed at him. It would have been a rather comic moment, the bratty ninja scolding the demon-infested vampire like one would do to a small child, if her heart hadn't been beating rapidly in her throat.
"Move, Yuffie," Vincent commanded; his face was so familiar, yet so different at the same time.
Her gray eyes gazed defiantly up into his crimson. "No, Vincent," she repeated, her voice as strong as before, sounding as if it should belong to her mother and not her. A look of pure determination stole over her pretty features, giving her the look of her mother, who had died so long ago. "As much as I dislike, even hate Justin Van Dam, I would not wish death upon even him. If he died, I would be a widow. . . Widows, in Wutai, are not allowed to be seen without a black veil over their faces, nor are they allowed out of Wutai."
Vincent growled softly. "Then on whom shall I feast on?" As he spoke, Yuffie saw the small, pointy fangs.
Not without hesitation, the ninja came upon her decision. "I guess," she began slowly. "That I'm the only candidate left." Her voice sounded small, meak, in the heavy silence.
"M'lady!" Justin called out, his eyes wide and jaw slack.
Yuffie waved him away. "Tell Godo I died," she replied coldly. "I'll be dead soon enough anyway. Leave out the window, of which you entered, and tell him. . . Tell him that my own stupidity caused a kitchen fire and that I am no more than ashes now."
Nodding, the soon-to-be-widower scrambled out of the window and onto the roof. "Hope she doesn't die," he whispered to himself. "She saved my life. I shall avenge her," he vowed.
The vampire looked down at the woman; her courage caused him to yearn for her touch. Her life blood spilling over his lips and in his mouth would not be enough.
'Don't turn her!' a voice warned, but he ignored it. As he stared into her entrancing gray eyes, she shifted to her right leg; the metal brace had started to dig into the milky white flesh of her thigh.
"And your answer," the Vampire Vincent said with a sadistic grin. "Is greatly appreciated."
He took a step toward her; she stood stalk still. Another step, still she did not move. A third and the gap between them was closed.
As the Master of Night bent in preparation to feast, something hit him, not physically, but mentally. 'STOP!' Crimson eyes averted themselves from the ninja to the floor.
Quicker than the human eyes could see, the vampire had left the room. A very confused ninja princess stared at the spot where he had been standing, her neck still warm from his breath.
-----!-----
Glazed donuts sat on the table, beckoning the young woman to indulge in the sugar coated breakfast delights. Her stomach, however, had not fully recovered from the previous night's experiences."Where did he go?" she wondered aloud, not caring that her voice echoed eerily in the silent room. "VINNIE!?" she called out, her voice bouncing off the walls and carrying into each empty room.
After a few minutes, Yuffie decided to look for him. Her nylon pants swished softly as she walked to the stairs. As she ascended the stair case, there was a knock on the front door.
"Or maybe I won't look for him yet," she answered herself dully.
She opened the door only wearing a black sports bra and blue wind breakers. She didn't even have a split second to avoid the attack. A small, Wutain-made dagger plunged straight into her stomach.
Dark brown eyes widened as long, elegant fingers with crimson-painted nails clutched at his navy blue suit. "No. . . YUFFIE!"
Her mouth opened as if to say something, but only blood and spittle spilled from her smooth, pale pink lips. "V-Vinn. . . ie. . . "
Justin Van Dam caught her as she fell forward into his arms and slumped down to the ground. Cradling her in his arms as one would do to an infant, he stared in disbelief.
"HELP! SOMEONE! PLEASE! HELP!"
-----!------
'Valentine,' Gallion Beast growled.The vampire stared at the lid to his coffin.
'GODS DAMN IT, VALENTINE! GET THE HELLS OUTTA THIS DAMN COFFIN!' Hellmasker screeched.
"HELP! SOMEONE! PLEASE! HELP!"
Vincent closed his eyes. 'That sounds like. . . Van Dam. . .'
"PLEASE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE! SOMEONE! HELP!"
'She?' Crimson eyes flickered open and a look of pure terror fell into their red depths as sudden realization struck. "Yuffie!"
-----!------
Voices swam through her head, none that she recognized and none that made any sense. A call for help, then a loud roar. What was going on?Finally, she felt at peace, the stabbing pain in her abdomen gone and her head stopped hurting. A field of wild flowers stretched out in front of her. Yellow, her second favorite color; green was her absolute favorite.
"Aren't they pretty?" The voice was female and ever-so pleasant. It seemed so. . . familiar.
"Aeris?" She spun around and saw the pretty young woman standing there clad in pinks and reds.
"Do I know you?"
Something squeezed her heart tightly. "It's me. . . Yuffie. Y'know, from AVALANCHE? The annoying ninja that called Cloud a spiky-headed jerk!"
The forever 23-year-old smiled. "Yuffie? Is it truly you? Wow! Your hair is so long! How old are you? Wait! Why are you here in the Life Stream?"
The Wutain woman became confused. "I'm. . . in the Life Stream?"
Aeris nodded, then smiled. "Oh, you're not staying! That's good for you, I guess. Too bad for me. I really miss you all."
"What do you mean I'm not staying?"
-----!------
"What did you do!?""I thought she was you! I was going to avenge her!
"The blood is not only on your hands, now."
- Have you ever seen a river ragin' in the spring
Rushin' down the mountain fast as anything
Well if you can picture that wild water
That would be her, only deeper
A human hand swept the dark raven hair out of the young woman's face. Her body was still. 'There's only one way.'
'Do it,' Death Gigas told him. 'That's the only way.'
- Have you ever seen an eagle soaring high above the trees
Circling the world below, epitome of free
Then you could imagine how I feel when I'm beside her
Only higher
"Cure 3!"
"It won't work. It will only keep her alive for ten more seconds."
"She's. . . Dead. . . Isn't she?"
Red eyes glared up. "Get out. . . Now."
- I'm flying, I'm falling, I'm floating
And all I want to do is hold her
Closer and spend every day that passes
Thinkin' up new ways to love her
'If you're going to,' Hellmasker warned, 'Hurry up.'
The vampire bent his head low and fangs pierced the soft skin of the woman's neck.
-----!-----
"You have people that love you. Go back to them."Yuffie shook her head. "No. I love someone, but he doesn't feel the same way. He probably won't even care that I'm dead in his doorway."
Aeris cocked her head to one side. "Who?"
"Wellllll. . ." Yuffie took a deep breath. "Remember Vinnie? Actually, his name's Vincent Valentine, but I've always called him Vinnie." Aeris nodded. "Me and him were hangin' out about six years ago and a vampire bitch bit him."
"Vampire? Who?"
"Lucrecia," the woman spat her name as if it tasted bad. "Anyways. . . Vinnie left me. Then, day before yesterday, I ran into him again. We were hangin' out and he said he'd help me run away from my husband and Godo for awhile."
"Godo forced you to get married?"
"Yeah. . . To Justin Van Dam. Anywho. . . He, meaning Vincent, became Mr. Freaky-Ass-Vampire and nearly eats Justin, who came to. . . er. . . Rescue me. I interfere and so Vampy Vinnie's gonna eat me instead. Next thing I know, he's gone."
Aeris sighed. "I think. . . That you need to tell me why you really were going to let him bite you."
"Okay," Yuffie said reluctantly. "I wanted him to bite me. . . So he wouldn't be alone forever."
-----!------
- If you've never had a visionOf what perfect love would be
Just close your eyes and dream a dream
That just gets sweeter, that would be her
'Now, slit your wrist,' Chaos instructed. 'And drop some of your blood in her mouth.'
Vincent used his metal claw to slit his wrist. Opening her mouth, he dripped his crimson blood onto her tongue.
'I would recommend getting her out of sunlight, now,' Hellmasker said, utterly serious.
- I'm flying, I'm falling, I'm floating
And all I want to do is hold her
Closer and spend every day that passes
Thinkin' up new ways to love her more
-----!-----
"You were willing to become a creature of the night for him?" The Wutain princess stared at the flowers, not wanting to answer. "That's not all, is it? Your feelings for him are strong. . . Perhaps his are too.""No," Yuffie replied in a hoarse whisper. "My feelings. . ." She cleared her throat. "My feelings aren't reflected back. . . No matter who they are directed towards."
The flower girl smiled. "You're leaving. I wish you well!"
"Huh?"
A red haze took over where the flower field had been, then the flower girl, Aeris Gainsborough, disappeared as well. There was a metallic taste in her mouth and a stinging pain in her stomach that lessened by each second.
"Laviathon," she used the water god's name in vain. "Who whacked me over the head with Cid's Venus Gospel?"
"You're. . . okay???"
She looked at him somewhat oddly. "Vinnie? Were you. . . Crying?" She brought up her small hand and wiped away a crystal-like tear from his cold cheek. "What's wrong?"
Red eyes locked with her own gray. "I. . . I saved you. . . But you're. . . Not human any longer."
"What?" She slowly sat up and looked at Vincent with her intense gray eyes. "Do you mean to tell me that. . . I'm a. . . a vampire?"
The ever-quiet vampire nodded, waiting for a shriek of despair, her horrified gasp, anything to show that she would have rather died than become a creature of the night. Instead the woman hugged him tightly. ". . . What are you doing?"
"Hugging you, silly," she replied with a giggle.
"I know that, but why?"
She pulled away and smiled up at him. "For keeping your promise of not letting Justin get me. And for keeping me away from Wutai. And for not letting me die."
Vincent looked into her stormy eyes and heard the demons laughing hysterically in his head. "I was only keeping my promise to not let you go back to Wutai, Yuffs."
She grinned her lop-sided grinned and he looked rather confused. "I like that. . . Yuffs. . ."
I'm a night person by nature
And would love to have you here
Every night when I wake up
So that I can feel you near
And the world can revolve around us
We can walk as fast or as slow as we want
Whenever we feel stopping
We can do whatever we want
As I walk near you
I understand more and more
We walk slow as they all pass by
And we don't have to understand why
And the world can revolve around us
We can walk as fast or as slow as we want
Whenever we feel like stopping
We can do whatever we want
So when they threaten to destroy me
At least I know you can go on
When my life has light again
You can show me the dark
So when light is shed upon me
You can show me my world again
Please just take me away
Far...
Into the dark
And the world can revolve around us
We can walk as fast or as slow as we want
Whenever we feel like stopping
We can do...
Whatever...
We want...
We can do...
Whatever...
We want...
Now that that's outta the way...

Now, the moment that no one's been waiting for! If you WANT me to do a sequel, tell me in a review. I suppose that it will be more of an extended epilogue than a sequel, because I'll just add it onto this fic. Anywho, if you WANT me to, please tell me. I ended up having 35 reviews for chapters one through six and am so eternally grateful that I'm truthfully close to tears right now. this is the first fic that I've actually completed that people like. All of my others have been flops. So, once again, thank you all soooooooooooooo much for reviewing. As Paine Kisaragi would say, "If not for my reviewers, then this authoress would not continue to write." A true quote from my friend and I am eternally grateful to you all. Thank you. Till Next Time! AUDI!!!
