CHAPTER 12

HOJO

Vincent tried to sleep but his shoulder hurt and his mind was on other things. They took that book, he thought. If I ever get out of here I have to get it back! He put a hand on his shoulder and ground his teeth in pain. Why was I so stupid

He looked over at the sleeping Yuffie. I shouldn't have let her come. At least she wasn't hurt...

Yuffie moved around in her sleep. She turned on her side and smiled. Her mouht moved but he couldn't make out what she was saying. I didn't know Yuffie talked in her sleep. He looked away from her. There are a lot of things I don't know about her. Like why did she want to come with me even though she knew it was dangerous? He closed his eyes. Oh yeah. Materia. She doesn't care about danger as long as she can get her hands on Materia...

He tried to relax. That has to be the reason... right?

A rude jerk woke Vincent a few hours later. He opened his eyes, startled, and reached for his gun. It wasn't there. That's when he remembered where he was and he felt strangly calm. That is until he found himself staring down the barrel of a gun.

Gasping he pushed himself up. He saw who held it now. The security guard who had shot him. "What?" Vincent asked looking up at the guy annoyed.

"Someone wants to speak with you," the guard said. "He asked me to get you."

"He?" the gunman asked suspiciously.

The guard grabbed him and pulled him roughly to his feet. The man then went behind him and cuffed his hands behind his back. (I mean Vincent's.)

"Let's go," the man said pushing Vincent forward.

As they started out of the cell Vincent noticed something that upset him. "Where is Yuffie?" he demanded.

"Who?"

"The woman that was with me."

"Oh her. She'll be fine. When he's done with her she'll be brought back."

"What? What do you mean 'done with her'?"

The guard didn't answer. He just gave Vincent another push to keep him going.

They took an elevator to the next floor. When they got off the guard said. "Here he is, sir."

"Excellent," a strangely familer voice said. "You may go now."

The guard left.

Vincent looked around. He was in what looked like a lab. Right in front of him stood a scientist, their hair pulled back in a ponytail, who had his back to him.

"So, Vincent Valentine," that voice said again. "I heard you were trying to steal one of my research books. Hmm, I wonder; was there something in it that offended you?"

"Huh?" the gunman asked confused. "Your book?"

The scientist turned around. "Yes, my book."

Vincent's scarlet eyes grew wide. He couldn't believe who he was seeing. There standing in front of him was none other than the crazed mad scientist himself, Hojo.

"This can't be!" Vincent exclaimed. "You're dead! I killed you!"

Hojo laughed maniacally. "You fool, do I look dead?" he demanded. "Jenova won't let me die so easily."

"But we killed you... Cloud and Yuffie..."

"Did you actually see me die?" the scientist asked walking closer to Vincent.

"No, you disappeared. I thought you..."

Hojo smirked. "I was spirited away so to speak," he replied. "I never died."

Vincent backed away from him. Jenova did that?

Hojo noticed something not so pleasant. "Hmmm, I see you forgot some of your clothing, Mr. Valentine," he taunted pointing at the gunman's bear chest. "Were you having a little fun? Perhaps you were thumping around with that little slut."

"Do you mean Yuffie?" Vincent demanded.

"So that's her name," Hojo mused.

"Where is she?"

Hojo put up his hand and grinned slyly. "Oh she's fine. For now anyway..."

"What are you going to do with her?" Vincent asked angrily.

Hojo put his hands behind his back and paced around Vincent. "Oh, nothing she won't enjoy," the lunatic said chuckling. He stopped in front of Vincent and stared at his face. "But there's not need to worry. I'll be gentle."

"You'd better not touch her!" Vincent yelled. "She's only sixteen! She's a minor! Just stay away from her!"

Hojo shrugged. "I doubt she hasn't already done it."

Vincent ground his teeth. "Son of a-"

Hojo walked behind him and draped an arm around his shoulders. "What's wrong, Vinnie?" he asked. "Are you feeling convicted about something?"

Vincent said nothing.

"Feeling responcible for Lucrecia again?"

"Don't even mention her!'

Hojo smiled. "You shouldn't be so angry about that. Lucrecia wanted it so I gave it to her."

Vincent wanted with every fiber of his being to punch Hojo's learing face. "You pervert!" he yelled.

Hojo put on a hurt face. "Why do you say that?" he asked. "You know. I admire you. I wonder why we never became friends."

"Do you think I'd want to be friends with someone like you!"

Hojo removed his hands and walked away from Vincent. "Oh yeah. Even then you thought I was a pervert!"

"That's because you are!"

Hojo punched him in the stomach.

Vincnet crumbled to the floor winded. The scientist knelt down in front of him and put a hand on his shoulder. "So quick to judge aren't you?" he asked grinning. "Why don't you let Yuffie decided that on her own."

"I already know she wouldn't let you," the gunman replied. "She told me."

Hojo laughed. "I have ways of making woman change their minds."

Vincent looked away. "You are sick!"

"That's your oppinion." Hojo got up and turned away from him. "I think I've talked with you long enough." He pressed a call button.

Vincent slowly stood up. "I'm not leaving until you tell me what you did you Yuffie!"

A guard came in.

"I didn't do anything to Yuffie. Yet."

Vincent lunged at Hojo intent on transforming into Chaos and ripping the scientist to shreds. The guard stopped the limitbreak. He grabbed Vincent's arm and held him back. "You'd better not touch her!" Vincent yelled. "If I find out you did anything to her...!"

Hojo gave him an annoyed look. "You don't have to worry about Yuffie," he told the man. "I'll take good care of her. I'll see that she's brought back to you safe and sound..."

"SICK BASTARD!" Vincent screamed as he was drug away.

Hojo sighed and walked across the room to the glassed in cell. He grinned at the person inside.

Yuffie Kisaragi glared at the mad scientsits. "You'd better let me out of here," she yelled at him.

Hojo tapped on the glass with his finger. "You're a spunky specamin aren't you?"

"I'm no specramin!" she shouted. "But I know what you are!"

"What?"

"A disgusting pig!'

The scientist laughed. "You say that now..."

"I say that later too," she cut in kicking the glass. "You'd better let me out of here!"

"I'll let you out when I'm done with you."

Yuffie's gave twisted in disgust. "Don't you dare touch me!" she shouted. "I'm no prostatute"
He grinned at her. "I'll be gentle."

"Screw it!" she yelled. "You'd better not think I'm going to let you come near me! If you try anything I'll kick you in a very sensative place!" (Meaning between the legs)

Hojo lauhged again. Yuffie glared at him.

He looked at her. "I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

The ninja folded her arms and scowled. A dark look crossed her face. "I doubt it."

"We'll see won't we?"

"We won't be 'seeing' anything!"
He laughed again and walked toward the entrance. "Shall we be going?"

"No."

He opened the door and walked in. Yuffie clenched her fists. "C'mon I dare you to touch me!"

"Feisty aren't we?" he said walking toward her.

Yuffie pulled out a small surikan and went after him with it.

Hojo grabbed her right arm when she swung at him. He lifted her off the floor. She gritted her teeth at the pain and glared at him hatefully.

"You're frisky aren't you," he said tickling her chin. "I like them frisky."

"Frisky this!" Yuffie screamed kicking him between the legs.

Hojo let her got and fell to the floor.

Yuffie back way from him smiling in triumph. "Serves you right!"

Now Hojo was angry. With a growl he lunged at her. He knocked her to the floor and landed flat on top of her. "You're going to reget that!" he yelled.

Yuffie brought her legs up to her chin and used her feet to push him off of her. "Get off me!" she screamed.

Hojo tried to hit her. He missed. Yuffie did the same and made contact with his nose.

When he felt blood trickling down his face he went crazy. A fight broke out.

At that instant Scarlet came in. She saw what was happening and gaped.

Yuffie noticed the woman and screamed at the top of her lungs. "RAPE! RAPE!"

That got Scarlet going. "Security!" she shouted.

Two security grauds ran into the room. "Get him off of her," she ordered.

The guards ran into the glassed in cell. One pulled Hojo off Yuffie. The other pulled Yuffie away from Hojo.

Scarlet ran into the cell. "What's going on?" she demanded.

"That bastard was trying to screw me," Yuffie exclaimed.

"No, I wasn't," Hojo argued.

"Than why did she shout rape?" Scarlet asked.

Hojo muttered something unintelligable.

Scarlet turned to the guard holding Yuffie. "Take her back to her cell. I need to have a word with the professor here." she glared at Hojo.

The guard nodded. Yuffie was led out of the room grinning triumphantly.

A/N

In case you might be wondering It's like what Lucreica said 'the Jenova in me wouldn't let me die." Well it worked for Hojo too. Incase you might be wondering, this is the unpleasnt surprise I was talking about. Please don't get mad. Just to let you know he will not hurt Yuffie nor will he try to screw her again. I guess that's it. I hope you people aren't made at me. I'm trying my best! Vincent will protect her!
