Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy or any of its characters. So please don't sue me, because I am broke. Oh, just incase you guys want to know where Yuffie got her sword in the last chapter. It was the same sword that she used in her fight against her father. She took it with her when she left. I just didn't mention it until now. Now that I got that out of the way, lets get on with the story.
RECAP: She stood like that for a few moments before she opened her eyes and gave Sephiroth a glare, that could make the devil flinch in fear. Her entire body shook in uncontrollable rage. She said between clenched teeth, "What you have done is unforgivable Sephiroth. There will be no place you can go that I will not find you. I know that this is another one of your stupid clones but I also know that you can hear me. So listen up, once I dispose of this nuisance, I will track you down and destroy you. I swear on the death of Aeris that you will pay in spades."
"Character speaking" 'Character thoughts' *Telepathically speaking*
As Yuffie got through speaking, the Sephiroth clone jumped into the air to leave. Yuffie was about to jump up and grab him but was stopped when he dropped a piece of Jenova down to attack the group. The small piece of flesh transformed into a huge disfigured monster. Yuffie looked from the monster to the Sephiroth clone. She looked back to the monster and decided that the others would need her help to defeat it, so she stayed. She thought, 'I will catch up to you later, Sephiroth, that I can promise you.' She was about to put her sword away but stopped. She looked down at it and thought, 'I guess it would be quicker to use the sword. Its more powerful that my shuriken right now.' She took a similar battle stance that she used against her father. (AN: Well, Godo is her adoptive father in my story.)
Vincent and Tifa had made their way down the stairs to help Yuffie and Cloud fight off the Jenova monster. Vincent ran next to Yuffie, who was standing next to Cloud, and pulled his gun. He glanced at Yuffie once more and realized she still had her sword out and was in a battle stance he had never seen before. 'I didn't know she was able to use a sword too.' He returned his attention back to the monster and fired a shot at what appeared to be the creature's head. The bullet did little damage.
Yuffie attacked next. She ran towards the monster but flipped behind the creature and sliced it in the back. It took more damage than Vincent's shot but Yuffie could tell it would take more than that to kill this monster. She returned to her spot between Cloud and Vincent and resumed her battle stance.
Cloud attacked after Yuffie. He ran straight towards the monster. He leapt into the air and sliced the monster across its chest. His attack took out less than Yuffie's attack.
The monster attack next and it lashed out at Cloud. He was unable to block it in time and took hard hit in the chest. He was a little slow in getting up but regained his battle stance. The fight went on for another 10 minutes before the group finally destroyed it. Once the monster was gone, the finality of the situation had sunk in. Aeris was dead and she wasn't coming back.
Each member of the group took Aeris' death in their own way. For Cloud, it was like losing a best friend. For Vincent, it was watching another innocent that deserved to live, die before his eyes. For Tifa, it was losing a competitor but also a dear friend and confidant. For Yuffie, it was the hardest thing of all. Not only did she watch her sister die but it was her brother that killed her. Now she must avenge Aeris' death by killing her brother, who was the executioner.
Cloud had taken Aeris' body to the lake beside the platform. He had released her body in order for it to rest at the bottom of the lake. Yuffie was taking it very hard. She was doing her best not to break down in tears. So far, she had succeeded but she wasn't sure how much longer she could hold it in. Vincent saw the anguish in her eyes and her struggle to stay strong. He stood beside her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Yuffie was grateful for this and she used Vincent as her anchor. She drew strength from his presence and silent compassion.
Cloud turned to the others and said, "We will stay in one of the abandoned houses for the night." Everyone nodded in agreement and set out to find house big enough to fit them comfortably. They found one with four rooms and each took one of their own. Yuffie took the room at the very top with Vincent, Tifa, and Cloud in order below her. Yuffie stood at the window in her room looking out across the city. Silent tears trailed down her face. She didn't bother to wipe them away. Here she could mourn without worrying about being seen.
Vincent sat in his room thinking about the pain that Yuffie must be going through. He hadn't told her that he knew Aeris was her sister. He knew how it felt to lose family. He decided to go and see if she needed to talk or just needed a shoulder to cry on.
Yuffie was still standing at the window when she heard a knock on her door. She wiped her face and made sure you couldn't tell she had been crying before opening the door. There stood Vincent looking at her with his piercing red eyes that she felt could see her very soul. She motioned for him to come in and she closed the door behind them. She returned to her spot looking out the window. Vincent looked at her back and finally said, "I know how much it hurts Yuffie. I know it hurts to lose your family. Especially when you see it with your own eyes." Yuffie was shocked. She turned to him and asked, "How did you know that Aeris was related to me?"
Vincent looked at her and said, "I heard you say it the night that we stayed at your house in Wutai. I saw you get up and leave and I followed you to make sure you were alright." Yuffie turned back towards the window and asked, "Have you told the others of this?" Vincent replied, "No, I did not see that it was any of their concern. If you wanted them to know you would have told them." Yuffie smiled to herself and said, "Thank you. I am glad that you kept my secret. I didn't think the others would believe me if I told them. It would have warranted a lot of questions that I would rather not answer. I don't think they would have let me continue to travel with them if they knew the whole truth." Vincent was perplexed by this and asked, "Is there more? What is so bad that you are afraid we will condemn you for?" Yuffie turned back to Vincent and said, "Aeris was my sister, but she wasn't my only sibling. I have a brother too." Shock was written on Vincent's face. 'It all makes sense now. The power and strength she has, even some of her sword techniques. She fights similar to her brother's style but with her own design. Now I understand why she didn't want to tell the others. They would have judged her. The only question I have is why is she telling me now? Does she really trust me that much?'
Yuffie watched realization pass across Vincent's face. 'Now he knows. I wonder what he will say. Is he going to hate me now?' Vincent looked up at Yuffie and saw the silent pleading in her eyes. 'She wants me to accept her, now that I know the truth. She should not worry. I wouldn't pass judgment on her because Sephiroth is her brother. She hasn't done anything to warrant such drastic actions.' Vincent said, "You should not worry Yuffie. I would not judge you because Sephiroth is your brother. Nobody can choose who his or her family is. You are a good person Yuffie. I know it is going to be hard on you. I can't promise that everything will turn out all right. However, I can promise that no matter what happens, I will always be there to help you. No matter what the cost may be." Yuffie looked a little shocked but smiled at him. She was so happy he accepted her that she ran and threw her arms around his neck. Then she did something neither of them expected. She laid a passionate kiss on his mouth. It took a few moments for Vincent to realize what happened. Once he did, he responded with a fiery passion of his own. Eventually, they had to break their kiss to regain their breath. Yuffie pulled back, blushing terribly. 'I can't believe I just did that. He is going to be so upset with me.' Vincent saw the embarrassment on her face and chuckled out loud. Yuffie heard this and blushed even more. Vincent touched her face with his human hand. 'She is so soft and beautiful. How can such a creature want someone like me.' He lifted her chin up and looked in her eyes. Yuffie felt like she was drowning is the deer red depths. He smiled and said, "There is no reason to be embarrassed Yuffie. I quite enjoyed that kiss. If you don't mind I would like another." Yuffie smiled and said, "You can have as many as you like, Vinnie." The newly found lovers met for another passionate kiss that left them both in a state of bliss.
Meanwhile.
Barret, Cid, Red, and Cait Sith had just made it to the outskirts of the city. They decided since it was dark and they wouldn't be able to see very well, to camp outside until morning. They sat around a fire, hoping that the others had found Aeris and that everything was ok. Little did they know their hopes were crushed before they had even arrived.
