//////////////

            "Vincent! You've returned" Yuffie cried with happiness.

            The tall figure quickly picked her up in his arms and held her tight. Everything felt so perfect and nothing in the world could touch them. To the bed they went, to let out their love words could not show. As he started to claim her she cried in pain as she felt wounds opening on her body. She screamed and for some reason Vincent was oblivious to the pain she felt. He continued as she slowly bled to death. She laid their lifeless under his moving body and slowly, she vanished into dust.

            "Vincent!!!" Yuffie screamed and bolted up.

            She heaved up and down and she glanced about slowly. She was no longer on that less then comfortable mattress in the alley of Junon. She kneeled and looked about in horror, she was in some plains, with the big quick sand near her. Her hands, for some reason was covered in blood, along with her shorts, legs, and mouth area. Some drips here and there on her shirt. Why? She thought. The answer to her question soon became clear.

            Three or four various monsters were on the ground nearby, their bodies torn apart with blood staining the grass all around her and the animals. Flies were constantly swarming around her and more so the carrion. She slowly looked away to spare her stomach a bit and then slowly stupid, she felt dizzy and sick all at once. She was able to slowly walk, walk past the dead animals and headed toward the closest town: Nibleheim

It's all a dream…I'm dreaming….

~~~~~~~~

            Vincent slowly awoke once more in his coffin and stared at the dark ceiling. Something never felt right these days, he didn't why and that bothered him.

            **You're troubled…** Chaos spoke

            ++Yes…this dream with Yuffie…it gets worse as time progresses…++ Vincent pondered.

            **Yes…for once I must say they do seem unnatural dreams for even you to have**

            ++I just don't understand…is Yuffie in trouble then? Is it because I, Vincent Valentine, the man she loved left? Another damn Sin++ Vincent became unusually angry and punched the inside of his coffin with his human hand ++damn it!++ Vincent shouted

            **Mind keeping it down a bit?**

            ++Sorry…wait a minute…Do you smell what I smell?++

            **The faint scent of…blood?**

            Vincent slowly climbed out of his coffin with grace, letting his cape swish behind him lightly. He sniffed the air and then headed up toward the stairs. The house being so quiet, his boots hit the stairs harshly as to be heard through out the whole stair area. When he did reach the top he realized the smell was now stronger.

            He soon however, didn't have to follow the scent of blood anymore for he now heard a faint sound that sounded like crying to him. Vincent walked a little faster the usual and soon saw some one very familiar.

            There was Yuffie in front of the long dead fireplace with cobwebs and dust everywhere. She was shivering, from the cold air or from crying he didn't know. He noticed however that she was covered in blood from the waist down, the blood smelling quite fresh still. Worry seemed to plague him underneath the mask, was she injured?

            "Yuffie?" he spoke out quietly but loud enough for her to hear.

            What surprised him the most was that she didn't jump or budge an inch until she slowly turned to face him. Something struck him defiantly as wrong. She was covered in blood and her eyes were dilated she seemed to look right through him.

            "I…I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have come here. But I suddenly ended up here and I'm scared and I don't know what's happening to me…" Yuffie started to get into hysterics.

            "Yuffie…calm down. I won't be able to help you if you don't calm down." Vincent spoke seriously and placed his cape over her shivering form.

            Vincent slowly sat down on the dust-covered floor next to the still shivering Yuffie. She slowly calmed down and then Vincent nodded at her to start speaking.

            "I…I have no control over my body…I was in Junon and the next thing I know I'm near here, with tons of dead things around me, claw marks in them, and me covered in their blood. I was able to cure my wound just by touching it and I think me telling the monster the other day to die was of my ability too." She explained.

            "Impossible…" Vincent spoke more to himself then her.

            "I can prove it…" Yuffie spoke.

            She noticed he had a small cut on his human hand and took it into her hands. When she removed them, the cut was now a small scar. Vincent just sighed, he didn't believe one thing. He had caused Yuffie to go crazy! Seeing the unconvinced look in his eye she slowly took his claw into her hands.

            "Please, don't move…I need to concentrate."

            She slowly closed her eyes and thought long and hard on what she wanted his body to do. Vincent gasped as he felt his arm doing things on its own and when he thought it was over, veins started to form around his claw, and then some blood, and then soon, as a finishing touch, skin slowly started to grow from where it already was to cover every curve of his monstrous claw.

            "Yu…Yuffie…" Vincent tried to speak.

            "Its ok…" Yuffie spoke gently and fell against him a bit.

            "Are you okay?" he asked propping her up with now both of his human hands.

            "Just tired…" she spoke and closed her eyes slowly.

            A few minutes later her eyes came by open, looking refreshed.

            "I thought you were tired…" he spoke now confused.

            "Recharged my body…that's all." Yuffie spoke and sat up slightly.

            Vincent felt like he knew nothing anymore he knew nothing at all. He never liked not having answers so he felt the need to ask.

            "Why? Why is all this happening?"

            "I don't know! I've been roaming around the earth; just trying to think after you left me and then the next thing I know I'm like this! You just had to leave me there…if you hadn't left me I might not be like this?! Why did you have to walk off like that?!" Yuffie screamed trying to control the anger.

            "Please…calm down, go over what you did in detail" Vincent replied coolly.

            "No, stop trying to change the subject. Why did you leave?! Why must you kill the man I love and haunt me so!!" She screamed, standing now.

            Vincent glanced up at Yuffie's towering frame and swore inwardly, her eyes looked almost chaotic and crimson. Did this mean his dream was coming true?

            ++What's going on?++ Vincent asked quickly.

            **She's…that can't be…I sense something similar to myself. Yet not as powerful like me, powerful in other ways. I think it might be in the developmental stage still**

            "Yuffie! Calm down!" he yelled and stood up.

            "No! I won't! I can't!" Yuffie screamed and some things broke around her.

            **She's a modification…of me. Contaminated Mako with a being in it.  But who could possibly perform such a procedure without Hojo or his documents.**

            Vincent nodded to Chaos' explanation and hurriedly explained to Yuffie, "Yuffie, I did not wish to haunt you and you know it. I couldn't help that I lived or died, falling off that cliff. Please, control your anger. You must lose control and hurt yourself."

            **Blame the Lucreia looking woman…**

            Yuffie's ears seemed to pick up slightly, "Lucreia?" her voice became angrier.

            ++Can she?++

            ** I do not think so…**

            //My host may not but I can and I believe she is not happy to know that this Lucreia haunts your mind// a female voice chimed in viciously.

            Vincent gasped as he saw Yuffie drop to her knees like a fly and clamp her hands over her ears. She whimpered in pain as her eyes turned from crimson to her normal stormy color and vice versa. Her body seemed to shake violently as Vincent tried to get near.

            "STAY AWAY" the same female voice yelled.

            "Vincent…help…" Yuffie cried.

            She was slowly loosing control of her body and she knew that she could possibly hurt or kill Vincent. Vincent just breathed deeply, in hopes Yuffie could fight this monster in her and prayed he wouldn't have to hurt her. He didn't want to fight a female version of himself.
