Ahaha, here I am once again with chapter…*checks* umm…CHAPTER 4 (Wow..I've gone this long without getting completely uninspired by this fic…must be a new record or something).  I just saw S.W.A.T. and the movie was pretty good…but VERY unrealistic. Either rent it or watch it if there's nothing else to see. *shakes out head* Now…I shall write chapter 4…but first…Mr. Disclaimer has come to town…

Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII…Chikama…or anything else that OBVIOUSLY doesn't belong to me.  So pooey on you!

            Vincent could clearly see Yuffie in the crowd of colors. Her black clothes and attitude stuck out like a sore thumb. She happened to be looking at some fresh mangos; which some greasy man was trying to sell to her with all his 'salesperson charm'.

"Yes, yes, good. You buy fruits. They is very good. Good fruits for cheap. Yes, very good." He kept goading her on until she finally had to walk away, giving him a signal with her middle finger that she wasn't interested. Vincent took that moment to walk up to her. Passing by the shocked man, he stepped in front of her and gave her a slight smile.

"Hey, are you ready to go?" He asked, putting out an elbow for her. She hooked her arm around his in a response.

"Read as I'll ever be."

THE END!

…..Just kidding

3:17 P.M. Union Square – Chikama

===

"Vincent, you should have told me that this was such a high-class place. I would have went home and put on some decent clothes."  Yuffie exclaimed as she was escorted to a seat in the lavish restaurant. Vincent blushed a light pink color.

"I think you look great just the way you are." He averted his eyes and stared at the couple walking in. Yuffie smirked.

"Are you coming on to me Mr. Valentine?" Vincent blushed a heavy crimson and began to pay more attention to his napkin holder than the woman in front of him. Yuffie just laughed.

"Don't worry, you won't have to answer that….yet." Her melodious laughter was swept through the restaurant as she saw Vincent's expression. Vincent suddenly looked up and smiled at Yuffie as he seemed to regain his former confidence.

"That's Dr. Valentine, if you will." He stated, and watched as her face contorted from laughter to shock.

"You're a DOCTOR?" She exclaimed, loud enough to make her surprise evident but quiet enough so that she wouldn't disrupt the restaurant. Vincent smiled proudly.

"The result of years of Medical School." He stated, and Yuffie broke out into a very Yuffie-esque grin once again.

"Say…this could work in my favor. Do you think that you can walk around in bloody white doctor uniforms while I'm writing my horror stories?" Yuffie asked with complete innocence. Vincent sat there shocked that Tifa was the one who had suggested that same exact thing. Suddenly, a thought came to Vincent.

"I just need to know, do you do your own art, because the rose on the cover of 'Bleeding Roses' is absolutely beautiful." Vincent inquired. Yuffie smiled a bit to herself as if she were remembering something.

"I can't draw for shit. My friend Nanaki did it for me. He's really tribal and shit, knowing about eighteen dead languages, living with his grandfather, descendent of some great Indian Warrior named Seto, wears moccasins, the whole nine yards. But I guess all the years of making tribal paintings have paid off because he's an AMAZING artist and he doesn't stuff like this for me for free, so I find that really awesome. If you are ever walking around 56th and Lexington, you'll probably see him walking around. He doesn't live anywhere near there but he loves walked there for some reason. Not to mention I think maybe he got a job there or something. You can't miss him, he always wears this feather band around his head that belonged to his father, and we rocks moccasins like nobody else can. He's really cool, I should introduce you sometime…but I'm babbling now, aren't I?" Yuffie finally paused to take a break and took a sip of water. Vincent shook his head in a negative motion.

"I don't think your babbling at all. I like to know things about people," he said seriously. Yuffie looked at him.

"I guess I'm just not used to talking so much about things like this…I'm more used to being big sister and helping everyone else out." She sighed. Vincent looked at her seriously.

"Well, now it's time for me to be the big brother*. I want to hear more about you. You're a very interesting person." Yuffie blushed a deep crimson as Vincent said this in all seriousness.

"Well…I-" Vincent cut her off.

"Well you, nothing. It's ok to let loose once and a while and let someone else take charge.**" If possible, Yuffie blushed even harder, yet was still able to meet Vincent's eyes.


"Thank you," she barely whispered out. "You have no idea what this means to me." Vincent looked surprised, if nothing else.

"What…I mean..how..but….how?" He managed to stutter out. No one had ever made him feel like he had made such an impact on their life. Looking at the woman across from him, he noticed the mix of anger and sadness in her eyes.

"I'm just the lonely Goth that always has problems. They'll send me to a therapist who will sit there and tell me everything that's wrong with me, and then they tell me it's just a phase and that I'll get over it. Well, now I'm older and it's not just a phase, but I'm still just that tortured little Goth that has so many problems that no one even cares anymore." Yuffie looked down at her glass of water, lost in it's icy depths. Vincent, took all this information and felt nothing but sympathy for the young girl. Yet, he had to ask.

"Who is 'they'?" He questioned, and saw her visibly stiffen.

"Can we just…not talk about this right now." Vincent took the hint, and dropped the subject immediately.

"So then-" Yuffie started.


"Yeah…" Vincent finished.

Well this was sure going to be eventful.

~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~

Ok…well the first real cliffy that I left you all with. I would have updated this yesterday, I really would have, but I was stuck in the blackout. I know I would have updated because I had bits and pieces of this fic swimming around my head. I am sooo tired so I'm going to cut the chapter short and finish the rest of it another day. Hope you all don't kill me for that ^.~

*: Someone (a boy, obviously) said this to me in a conversation once and I was all like "SQUEE!" hehehe, I'm so stupid.

**: People ALWAYS tell this to me. I'm the maternal kind of person that takes care of everyone. That's why I'm writing this chapter at 2:20 in the morning for you people. You like it, so I'll sacrifice sleep to get it done ^^. I'm so good @-@

Anyway, I'm going to make another shameless plug for the song "So Ha" by Splashdown. Hehehe, excellent song.

I'm also going to make some shameless plugs for random Yuffentines I've read, because some of the stories are just *gasp* wow!

Sink To The Bottom With You   by, Catalina

My review: This story is *gulp* AMAZING! Catalina has thought up an awesome plot, properly balanced out with humor and romance. A very good read, but it's very long so make sure your dedicated and have time on your hands.

Sunshine In Winter     by, Guardian1

My review: This story made me CRY! LIKE A FOOL! AT TWO IN THE MORNING! This is one of the best stories that has EVER graced Fanfiction.Net. It's just so….wonderful and amazing. Again, a long read so make sure that your dedicated, but other than that, READ IT!

Ok, that's all for now, time to thank the nice reviewers. I'm just going to do all of them that I got because I can't remember if I did any yet….Yeah…I'm so good.

DarkKittie3: Thank you so much, that was just the inspiration I needed to keep me going for the next three chapters ^^

StarVixen: DIE AVIRL, DIE! WE MUST BAND TOGETHER TO DESTROY HER MORTAL SOUL! Oh yeah, LINKIN PARK RULES! W00T! Ok..now that I've gotten that out of my system (mm…Chester)…Thank you kindly for the compliment. Means a lot to me.  ^^

Nastu-Aoki: It popped up…from HEELLL!! Actually, it just came from the mind of a bored thirteen year old that has nothing better to do than clean the house. Thank you for the kick ass comment. I appreciate it SO SO SO much. *grins*

Brian, Dark Emotionless Shadow: Well, I can agree that there wasn't that much emotion in the review, but I loved it nonetheless. It makes me happy to know that people read this and actually think it's interesting. Shibbity Shway ^^

Alx 91: Er…don't worry, I am.

Kapen Youth (for both your reviews since they're right next to each other): Why yes…I am a Goth aren't I…hehe. The Darwin Awards are hilarious. I have both the books, it's worth the read. Thanks for reviewing on both chapters. Yeah, and I did get 'goodnight, good fight' from Celebrity Deathmatch. Is that show still airing? I haven't watched TV in almost a year.

Angel280: YYYEEESSS!! I GOTS ME A VINCENT DOOLL!!! W00T! I don't know how I got this unhealthy love for Yuffie/Vincent…but oh well. I'm glad you like this, I'm not to proud on how my chapters are coming out, but hey, your worst critic is yourself. Most of my writing has a gothic feel to it, but that's just my nature. Hehe, I feel all  happy now *huggles Vincent doll*.

Jinx: I'm glad you like this. I feel really special now that you said you usually don't like AU. I guess I was just trying to keep this story a bit more…realistic. Because I know that if Vincent didn't go through the whole 'Lucrecia' schmuck, he would have been a lot happier, and if Yuffie had to live with the constant torture that she did of being called a brat etc…she would have fallen into the Gothic Subculture. Almost the same reason why I did. I'm glad you think this is well written because I feel like I've been pulling these chapters 'out of my ass' ^^.

KitsuneDewAddict: FFVII is an awesome game….That one part that Yuffie wrote was nagging at me for days. My friend said it to me and I just knew that I had to find a place to put it. I thought that one part was from Robin Hood: Men In Tights, because that was what my friend was watching when she told it to me. It's reviews like this that keep me writing.

Oh yes, and an announcment to all those who want to volunteer to beta/already asked to beta. Before I make my decision, I just want to tell you what I'd be expecting, because I make a lot of minor mistakes that I often overlook.

I would need you to be able to fix grammatical and spelling errors that I missed I would need you to tell me ANYTHING that seems unclear, rushed, or unrealistic (I'm trying to get this as real as possible) I would need some kind of message or something telling me what I should fix along the way in my writing.

If someone can do all this for me….I'll be their best friend forever. And as for KitsuneDewAddict and Jinx, who already asked, you can e-mail me or leave your answer in a review. To all else…go ahead. People…I love you all, but I must sleep as it is almost three in the morning.

Ta ta for now…
