Cave of strange excretions

In love?

Sotss: Once more, most of the comedy was done by Lote, and we are currently debating over what to put next lol!

Lote: Once more I will say it sounds weird. I might add that Vincent is a little OOC, so beware. But then again, we can always put it down to the poo, right?

Sotss; True, we can, but anyway, please R and R!

Lote: yes, I must also add that we do not own final fantasy 7.

Sotss; but one or both of us would like it for our birthdays!

Lote: psshaw, as if someone would give it. ANYWAY…

Sotss; we can hope, and dream can't we?

Lote: yes, but I was going to say: "let's begin the story!"

Sotss: yea! On with the story!

Lote: Finally!

In a corner of the Inn, were two women. One was a sexy brunette; the other was a petite girl with black hair.

They were giggling, Yuffie was whispering in Tifa's ear and both burst out laughing.

"So, you're telling me that Cloud was dressed as an angel?" Tifa laughed loudly. She caught Yuffie staring at her and blushed. This was not a good day.

"Yes," Yuffie said suspiciously. "You like Spike don't you?" "No," Tifa replied indignantly. "Oh, yes you do," Yuffie giggled childishly.

"I do not!" Tifa said, her cheeks a slightly red colour as she avoided Yuffie's gaze.

"Uh-huh, sure Teef" Yuffie said, still slightly freaked out from her dream.

She giggled one last time before she stepped out of the shadow the corner offered. "Shit," she swore, and then turned around to face Tifa again. "I think Vinnie heard," she said, pointing behind her.

Vincent's red cloak flew around Yuffie like a picture frame. A loose corner fluttered against her cheek and she reddened slightly.

"Y'know Yuff, I think you're right" Tifa said as Yuffie, hid her eyes behind her hands.

"Oops, well... uh...um... please don't tell anyone Vince," Yuffie pleaded, still keeping her head in her hands.

"I will if you don't look me in the eye," he said. This was so unlike the Vincent Yuffie knew that she screamed and ran.

"Now that, is something you don't see everyday," Cloud commented with a touch of awe.

"What the f& did you do to her? Not that I mind but f(&, you musta done something very "ebil, ebil vampire" like to scare her off." Cid's eyes widened after he said this, as if an idea was dawning on him. "Vincent, you didn't..."

"He didn't what?" Barrett asked. "What the f& did the vamp do?" he repeated when he received no answer. "Well?" Vincent, had one of his eyebrows raised as he sent Cid and Barret, one of his 'Death glares' that made them both turn around and mutter to each other.

Now Yuffie, could be found, hidden behind one of the many rock formations, her face a bright red as she cautiously looked out and whimpered slightly, when Vincent faced towards her, but didn't see her.

"What the f&$? He ADVANCED on her?" Barrett's voice was filled with incredulity. "Wow..." he said. "Wow..."

Cloud, who had also been listening in spoke up, "so you're saying that our dark and morbid gunslinger tried to... hit on Yuffie?" He doubled over in fits of laughter. Red XIII just stared at Vincent, as if making some sort of analysis.

"Whoa, you have got to be joking!" Barrett had apparently overcome his shock and had gained the courage to speak. "He's prob'ly still in love with that Lucrecia chick. As if he'd go for the brat," apparently saying these words had convinced the man with the gun arm that there was no chemistry between the vampire and the brat. 'Nah, too mismatched.' he thought.

"No FU$&$ way! The Vamp, in love with the brat?" Cid spluttered, in shock as he looked at his gun-armed companion. "Holy," he started to say, but was silenced by Tifa's fist connecting with his head. "Damnit Tifa! What the hell was that for?" he yelped. Tifa merely grinned.

"Barett, we know that he made a move on her but in love with her?" Cloud really didn't want to think further. "She wouldn't return his affections though, would she?" he whispered so Yuffie and Vincent wouldn't hear.

But Vincent's knowing ears easily picked up his voice. 'What if Cloud's words are true?' he thought sadly. Vincent's face was downcast as he thought harder. 'Did Lucrecia really love me?' Yuffie caught the abrupt change in his facial features with surprise. 'Surely he doesn't love me?' her mind was invaded with thoughts of Vincent. 'He truly is acting...strange. I must be going crazy' Yuffie decided, casting another glance at Vincent, whose head was still turned down 'Poor Vinnie' she added as she stood and walked over to him, her eyes darting around, and casting a glare at Cid, Barrett and Cloud.

Cautiously, she laid a hand on his back. Vincent glanced at her briefly then gently put both of his arms around her, holding her close, in a bear like hug. "Thanks Yuffie," he whispered, then relinquished his hold on her and turned to walk away.

'That didn't just happen did it?' her mind was in turmoil. 'I wonder what Tifa would say?' so, with that thought in mind she skipped over to where Tifa was staring down at Cid's limp body.

"Nice shot there, Teef" Yuffie commented with a broad grin. "What did he do?" she asked. Tifa grinned once more "Well, he and Cloud and Barrett were talking about…" she stopped as both Cloud and Barrett glared at her.

"Well... let's just say that it's best not mentioned," she said with a nod.

"Aww, come on Teef. You can tell me..." she faltered when she too was on the receiving end of a glare.

"What?" Yuffie asked, with a slight frown, but her frown soon melted away as she spotted Vincent, looking in her direction. "We'll talk later" Tifa whispered and Yuffie nodded, as Tifa looked down at Cid and laughed softly, Yuffie soon joining in.
