Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII, its characters, or the places in the game. I just borrow them for fanfiction use…
Note: As usual, I apologize for any OOC-ness. I try, but sometimes we just slip. Also this chapter slides between two people's POV's, but I marked them so you wouldn't get confused. If you skip those lines, though, don't worry, they're two VERY different people!
Second Note: I thought your suggestions were pretty good so thanks for giving me the advice! You know who you are!
Chapter 6: One Day Before Freedom (Yuffie's POV)
I always thought Vincent was kinda weird, but today he was acting even MORE weird.
He kept checking the clock, acting all anxious-like as if somethin' was gonna happen some time. It's so cute, the way his hair falls over his face somewhat when he turns his head quickly…sigh…
Anyways!
I first noticed he was actin' kinda weird when I came into the bar room. Shockingly I was the third person up—Tifa and Vincent were there. I like Tifa enough. She's nice. But, I like her even more when she isn't talkin' to Vincent…
Mr. Red-Eyed Man was sitting at the counter in all of his glory and hottness—err, I mean quietness—staring at his food as usual. The dude never ate. Weird. You'd think he'd be all anorexic-like or something but he's not. Any normal person would be, but Vincent's not. He's not a normal person, though.
How could a normal person be so damn hott?
Uh. Anyway. He kept glancing at the clock, and, as surprising as it was, he fidgeted. He never does that! How do you know I know what he does? My business! Get out of it!
My first instinct was to ask him what was wrong but I was still kinda embarrassed about my drunken-ness the other night, and either way he doesn't really talk back that much when you speak to him. But, me being me, I decided to give it a try…
"Hiya!" I said cheerfully as I sat down on a stool next to him.
He nodded but didn't say anything, then glanced at the clock again.
"Uh, something wrong?" I asked.
"…Is it tomorrow yet?" he muttered vaguely.
"No, it's today, why?" I asked, trying to sound innocent.
"Well—" His eyes narrowed and he looked like he had a bad headache. "Nothing," he muttered.
"Oh…kay then," I shrugged. "Something going on tomorrow?"
"…You could say that," Vincent muttered, and did something else shocking: he took a bite of food.
I nearly fainted from the shock of it all…well, not really.
"Well what is it!" I asked eagerly.
"…I can't say."
"Come onnnnnnn, yes you can!" I said.
Vinnie-sama sighed. "No. I can't. Please stop asking." He looked at Tifa, then me, and exited the room.
"What's his problem?" I asked, leaning my head on my hand.
"Who knows?" Tifa shrugged. "Can I get you anything, Yuffie?"
"Erm…pancakes!"
"Okay, just a sec," the brunette karate person said. She sounded like she owned a restaurant or something when she spoke.
Oh…wait…I guess she does.
Vincent's POV
That Yuffie. She never leaves anyone alone. She's always asking questions, always trying to get closer to you…
"Why did you make me leave the room, Chaos?" I demanded, washing my hand and claws in the cold water of the bathroom sink.
"Because you wanted to stay! Don't worry, though, TOMORROW you get your freedom, starting at midnight tonight, mortal," Chaos said, chuckling and evil chuckle.
"Can't you make today go any faster?" I growled.
"Nope, it's going at normal speed! But be careful what you ask, Vincent, for after tomorrow comes my twenty-four hour dictatorship over you," the demon warned.
"You're already a dictator, Chaos," I argued.
My punishment for my contradiction was an extremely painful headache.
"Maybe so, mortal, but that day I shall reign supreme over your body and mind!" he snarled.
"Where will I be?" I asked.
"You, my 'friend', will be sitting in the corner of your mind, completely unable to control yourself," Chaos said, cackling.
I sighed. "I just want to smile again," I muttered.
"Oh, Vincent," Chaos sighed. "You're pathetic…"
Yumesuta: Ack! Short chapter! Grr. I wanted it to be longer. Oh well, I'll make the next two chapters longer, hopefully. Um, so, anyway, REVIEW PLEASE!
