Name and Appearance

"You know Vincent! I still like Jim!" said a soft giddy voice. "No." said Vincent. "You're becoming a nuisance." Yuffie walked forward, peering through thick tree trunks and broken branches. In the thick blanket of ash you could here the soft patting of footsteps, packing the ash like snow. Vincent led the group of wanderers through the forest, but also found it hard to navigate through the brush and ash. "I do not understand. Why a dispute over what to call me. Does my name make me different?" Asked the clone. He walked behind Yuffie almost in her very footsteps, as if he were guarding her. His long white hair draped in his face, the resemblance of Sephiroth often spooking Yuffie as he peered low into the trees. "Well. Yes your name does matter. I think Jim suits you much better than Gelriff." Said Yuffie sarcastically. She walked over to the clone and put her hand on his shoulder. "It's Gelrin!" snapped Vincent. Yuffie looked at him in surprise. "Call him what you want but to me he is Jim!" shouted back Yuffie. Yuffie pulled her fingers through the clone's long hair. "You know. This haircut is freakin me out!" Yuffie pulled from her small black bag a tiny pair of scissors. She snapped them around making a faint snip. "I'll cut it!"
Vincent turned quickly around and leapt at the scissors. "No!" Leave him be" he shouted. Yuffie jumped out of Vincent's reach and whacked him on the head. He quickly fell to the ground and growled. "Heh! Take that you big baboon!" Yuffie yelled. She grabbed the clone's head and pulled it down towards her. "I'll have you fixed up in a jiffy. No girl will ever be able to turn you down!" said Yuffie.
"Dear Lord have mercy." Mumbled Vincent as he brought himself back to his feet.
Yuffie stuck her tongue out the side of her lips and looked as though she was studying the clone's hair. "Uh huh..Yep... All right! I've got it!" Yuffie began to snip away cutting large locks of white hair from the clone's head. She continued for a few minutes while Vincent paced around the clone and Yuffie in a circle, with his hands clamped tightly together behind his back.
"There! Tada! I present to you, JIM!" Yuffie grinned, showing all of her teeth and put one hand on his Shoulder again.
Vincent stopped his pacing and ran towards him, flailing his arms around him. He looked in awe at the clone, surprisingly looking quite different from Sephiroth now. His new hair cut left only about six inches on his left side, which stood slanted outward, and the right side parted down. Vincent's stomach flinched and he shed a single tear.

What is this feeling? It's been so long. I feel like, a father again.

Vincent's eyes grew deeper and more intense. More tears began to streak down his cheek. "You okay Vince?" asked Yuffie. "Don't you like his new hair cut?" Vincent regained his seriousness and fumbled trying to say his answer. Finally he threw out all he felt comfortable saying. "It's Fine. Let's continue. It's not much further." He turned from Yuffie and Gelrin and nearly smiled before he caught himself and again returned to his seriousness. "Come on you two!" he yelled. Yuffie and ran and Gelrin followed close behind, again following directly in her tracks. She stopped for a moment, scratching the tip of her head. "Wait! This place looks familiar." She yelled at Vincent. Vincent turned to her and stared in surprise. "Where are we going?" asked Yuffie. Vincent sighed and put his head down. "The City of the Ancients." He mumbled. Gelrin's face squinted and his eyes fell into anger. "No! No they are there." Yuffie and Vincent both looked at him in surprise. Gelrin began to pant heavily and stutter for words. "Whoa Jim! Calm down buddy! No one is there anymore. We kicked that little creep Hojo's butt a long time ago!" "No. They can't be killed." Said Gelrin. He took a step back and shook his head. "We must not go there!" He yelled in concern. Yuffie started to jump compulsively closely in front of Gelrin's face, her eyes growing larger, nearly bulging out of their sockets. "Who are they?" she yelled over and over, still jumping through the air. "Masa, and Mune." Replied Gelrin. Yuffie stopped jumping and slouched over scratching her head. She turned over to Vincent and then glanced into the air. "Say! Isn't that the name of that sword Sephy had?" she shouted. Vincent looked down and shook his head. "Yes. It is. Lets go!" "No! We can't go there. They are too powerful!" yelled Gelrin. "You know. I'm with Jim!" shouted Yuffie. She put her hands on her hips and leaned over towards Vincent. "So wait who are Masa and Moooona then?" she asked. "That's Mune!" "Who ever!" she shouted back, sticking her tongue out as far as it would reach. Gelrin looked over to Yuffie. "They are two brothers, Cetra who were banished for their evil minds. When they were cast out of the promise land, they met Sephiroth and became friendly with his evil will. With Sephiroth they forged the sword Masamune." Vincent looked at Yuffie and Gelrin, trying to convince them with is eyes that he needed to go. "I'm going." He said. "No! I can't let you go!" yelled Gelrin. "I'm with Jim!" yelled Yuffie. She walked over and stood behind Gelrin. "Fine." Said Vincent. He turned and began walking, without them. Gelrin's stomach twisted and he got a sick feeling deep down that led him to a guilty feeling. "Wait!" he yelled. "I will come." He said, nearly in regret. "But I will not go near them. I fear them!" he said. "Understood." Replied Vincent. He nodded and then began again to walk, this time with Gelrin close behind. Gelrin looked back and gazed into Yuffie's sorrowed eyes. He shook his head and ran back to Yuffie and stood closely in front of her, looking gazing into her tear covered eyes. He reached down and took her hand, holding it firmly in his. His eyes twitched and grew deep in confusion. What is this? It's... ........ .. different. Hojo did not teach me of this feeling. I hate you Hojo! He thought to himself. Yuffie smiled and looked into Gelrin's eyes. "Thanks. ... What's wrong?" she asked, shaking her head. "Oh.. Nothing. Let's go." Gelrin let go of Yuffie's hand and waited for her to walk towards Vincent. Yuffie hesitated but then smiled and followed Vincent, Gelrin again following directly in Yuffie's foot steps.
