            She was there, looking at him so hurt, her white ritual kimono torn to pieces and covered in Kenji's dried blood. Dried blood was splattered on her cheek, with a small gash above her eye. She couldn't control her body with its shaking in pain. Her face was a palette of many emotions: anguish, anger, hatred, love, pity, and sympathy. He seemed almost like Chaos in a way in his eyes. Her eyes, dead set in a glare from the pits of hell itself, turning crimson at the wake of her many emotions.

            Her body just seemed to disappear into the body of another being, one similar to Chaos. She screamed, she yelled, and soon her voice was heard no more as a new female figure took her place. She looked almost humanoid, yet had certain aspects to her that weren't. She started to head toward him, wanting his heart to be broken like her's.

            Vincent bolted up from his coffin immediately, realizing it was just a dream. Vincent let out a breath and glanced around at the other dusty coffins. It wasn't the first time he had this dream, it started when he left Yuffie in Wutai, which was three months in the past. In all honesty, he has expected her to show up by now, it seemed natural of Yuffie to. What had mainly startled Vincent was when Tifa stopped by to visit him to see if Yuffie was there. He remembered it vividly in his mind, Tifa coming, asking where she was, explaining that she had picked up and left on the ball. No one knew where she was.

            One thing he did know was that she had been clever, and left some one in charge by means of a long note and a decree, one of her long time advisors, would rule until she felt she was ready. A conflict hit his thoughts, he swore he wouldn't try and think about being involved with her and yet her he was, trying to figure out where she had gone.

            This dream he had however began to make him think about her more. He couldn't help but let his thoughts drift and it honestly made him wonder if he had done the right thing. Would she really strike him down with vengeance like she had in his dreams? Those dreams…why? It started to cause him worry; it was more frightening then his worst nightmares. It was just that way that her eyes turned into pure hate that bothered him the most.

            ++Do you think it's my sixth sense…?++ Vincent asked to his other half.

            **Why would it be? The types of dreams you're having indicates she's a type of being that Hojo made us to be. He's dead now, his lab destroyed, we made sure of it. How could she be something similar to me?** Chaos stated the obvious.

            Vincent pondered and sat down in his coffin. Why couldn't he just be the Vincent that Yuffie had salvaged from his dark persona? When had fallen off that cliff, he was sure it was a major turning point in his life with Yuffie. The river had helped his fall, but he was shot so the currents were pain to the wound. He was thankful for a small town being near Midgar, it was primitive because it was built right after meteor.

            There a woman had helped him recover and was his confident. He must admit, he felt weak in the knees around her. Her long brown locks and hazel eyes, it reminded him so much of his almost buried Lucreia. He longed for her tough, her scent, anything of hers. He felt this with Yuffie but he knew Lucreia would want him to be happy.

            The instant he met this Lucreia look alike; he reverted back to how he was. He couldn't exactly explain it to anyone. He found himself unable to act and feel how he had done around Yuffie, perhaps these two women brought out different sides…

            All Vincent wanted to do was stop thinking so he closed his eyes, it was times like this he wish he wasn't alone because then he wasn't stuck with his thoughts. In a matter of minutes, Vincent's breathing went into a light regulated pattern as he tried to sleep peacefully.

            No one knew where Yuffie had disappeared to after her ordeal and in all honesty, she was glad. She needed to find herself again and she needed to do many things. One of her stops had been Aerith's grave, in which she felt she needed to see it. However her time there was cut short when she noticed Tifa and Cloud were coming to visit it.

            She had to avoid a lot of different places, mainly big towns. So she was living pretty poorly: she had little money, few Materia, very little medicine, which was the reason, she was sick. She had wanted to go to Neo Midgar but Tifa and Cloud were there. Gold Saucer was out of the question because Cait Sith was there. Mt. Condor wasn't available because now Barrett lived there with Marlene and his fiancé. Rocket Town was were Cid was and Cosmos Canyon was where Nanaki probably would be. Lastly, Vincent, who was in Nibleheim, which was last she wanted to go at this point.

            She sighed and finally decided to go to Junon, where she could pay up the last of her money for an inn and a doctor's appointment or at least some medicine. She didn't know why she was sick but it felt rather odd. Fever often struck her now weak body, coughing was now a natural habit, and sleepless nights plagued her.

            She almost there to Junon, however something had stopped her. Something didn't feel right and right when she was about to move again, she heard a snarl. She quickly turned around but was too late. The wolf like monster jumped on her and started to rip at the flesh on her shoulder. All she could do was emit screams as it bit further into her.

She struggled under the big wolf creature. She just wanted if off and she mentally slapped herself for not being able to defend for herself. With her sickness, her being weak just made it worse.

            She finally was able to free her arms and attempted to push the monster off of her with no avail. She quickly pushed against again.

            "Just die!" she screamed and attempted to push it off.

            This time she freaked out as it slowly fell onto her, and soon was lifeless after several whimpers. She slowly pulled the carrion off of her small frame. What had she done? Her eyes were still dilated from the incident. She had no clue what she had done.

She slowly started to walk into Junon and looked at her pouch of money and swore. She had two less gil then inn costs here.

            "On the street again." Yuffie mumbled.

            She quickly claimed a corner on a street alley where she found a recently discarded mattress. She sighed and laid down on it, her hand on her injured shoulder. She winced as the pain echoed through her veins. She was still confused about what had happened. She had screamed for a monster to die and it had…she didn't know how that was possible.

            It was all luck; yeah luck…Yuffie thought to herself. She swore loudly as her wound let some more blood leak from its opening. You stupid fucking cut, why can't you just go away like you were never there…Stupid monster. Yuffie thought once more. After a few seconds of her thoughts, Yuffie quickly turned to look at her cut on her shoulder. It was slowly stopping to bleed and new skin was being grown over the opening.

            "What the…" Yuffie gasped in disbelief.

            When the healing was done, all that was left was a scar from where the monster punctured the skin. She sighed and quickly shut her eyes, it was all a dream, yes, and it was all a dream. That was all she wanted to believe at that moment and she soon she was asleep, not minding the rain falling heavily onto her form.

Ok. 2nd chapter. Hope you guys like it and thank you guys for reviewing. I was worried I had lost my fans ;_; I promised my writing would be some what different but from looks of it I'm walking down that same "odd story-telling" path. Hmm. Lol. Oh well.

Anyway, I recently had started to read this Yuffitine, entitle Always Smiling (I could have the title a little off, don't kill me) and it was written very well. I had read it and I was inspired to write my story again! Kupo! And then, lol, I was trying to figure out why one of the people who reviewed looked so familiar. It's the person who wrote the story! Lol. I believe her Author ID is Ezri-Candy (eep, might have this off as well. My brain isn't functioning)

Anyway, till next time!! ::hands out Vincent as a Turk plushie::

Ai,

~~Sakura Yosei
