Sorry for the long update I had to turn in a bunch of essays I was supposed to do months ago all at one time so I couldn't really do a whole lot else lol.

Please review! I'd love you forever.

Ideas again if you have any. And suggestions.

-Wish I Could Prove I Love You-

November 26,

Only a few days have passed since the dramatic incident, and the slave girl has been walking a straight line. The wounds have healed as all vampires so (since our fast healing) but she hasn't spoken a word. I tried to make a conversation with her, but failed.

Namine gives me nervous glances every now and then, and Riku's mind has been working overtime. He, too, is quiet, but he's just in deep thought. Thinking about the girl if I'm correct. What to do with her.

Speaking of which, Riku has delayed our snowboarding. He says another time when the castle has calmed down so and he actually trusts the girl.

So the trip may never happen. Maybe I'll have to take Sora or Zexion. Hell, maybe I'll go with Kadaj or Yazoo. They seem eager to leave this damned castle!

But I must admit… I do find the Yuffie girl attracting. I think I might like her. But hell, what do I know?

Damn it.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Riku eyed Yuffie as she walked into his bedroom. She had gotten much paler, her blue veins showing through her skin more then it should. Her face was shaded where her cheek bones were because her face was sunken. It was proof that she hadn't drank the blood Riku had given her in days.

"Why aren't you eating, slave girl?" Riku asked. He crossed his legs as he watched her pick up various items from the floor and putting them in their right place.

"Not hungry, Riku-San," was her quiet reply. Her eyes did not meet his, and she continued working on his room. Riku looked at her wrist, which had a wristband and a small tube that lead up to her hand. It disconnected all powers, or the ones that she had shown to faze through solids. Mainly to decrease her chance of running away again.

"You'll grow weak. Then you'll go blood hungry. Then you'll quickly grow mad, just being a wild animal with rabies. You'll run through the forests, making you the worst enemy of mankind," Riku muttered bitterly. Yuffie ignored him, and finished the room off.

"Am I dismissed, master?"

"No, you are not. I will not be satisfied until you drink a glass of type AB blood in front of my very own eyes."

"Master, really, I'm not-"

"AXEL!" Riku yelled. Only a matter of seconds passed before the speed demon was standing before the both of them. "Go get Namine for me and tell her to get type AB blood from the fridge. Poor it in two wine glasses, and report back here."

Axel nodded, and glanced at Yuffie who looked miserable. He sped off in a blink of an eye to find the memory vampire.

Nothing was said between the two for awhile. Riku sat on his bed, glancing at Yuffie often. Yuffie swayed slightly, staring at the floor in a trance.

"Why is it the real reason you refuse to drink?" Riku asked finally, breaking the silence. Yuffie glanced at him, then looked back down, and began to sway once again.

"Why does it truly matter, Master? Will you hit me again?" Yuffie snapped. Only a second later she regretted it, her stomach turning in her stomach. Riku became angry, but after a moment he grew calm again.

"No. I will not hit you," Riku promised.

"I miss my family and friends, master. I despise this place, and always shall. Now that I am doomed to be your eternal slave, I suppose there is no going back now. No saying good-bye to my father, to my brother, to everyone I have ever known. What can I say though? I suppose I can try to sleep off the disappointment, slink in the shadows and maybe one day I will die of starvation."

Riku grew silent, and there was a knock on the door. Riku muttered, "Come in."

Namine walked in with the two wine glasses on a tray. She gave them both a forceful smile, then set the tray on a small table near Riku's bed. She turned to leave, but then Riku called out to her, "You're not dismissed yet."

She stopped in her tracks, and turned around. Namine looked at Riku, waiting for him to get to the point.

"Namine-Chan, I know you hate doing it, but I'm ordering you to erase Yuffie's memories and put in new ones."

Namine gasped and looked at Yuffie. Her eyes widened. "Riku-san, I'm not wiping out all her memories without her free will!"

Yuffie looked up to Namine, and then whispered, "No… I want you to."

Namine's jaw dropped in disbelief. "But why-?"

"No questions asked!" Riku barked. "Let's do it now so she can get some god dammed rest, shall we? Namine, Yuffie, come over here. Both of you sit on the bed." Riku ordered. Both of them obeyed, they both sat in front of each other. "Now, Yuffie, relax and let your conscience drift off. Don't think of anything in particular. Your head will only hurt for a little while, then you should fall asleep. You will remember nothing in the morning." Riku paused.

"Namine, give her memories to make her want to stay, make her forget all her family somehow and replace them with us."

"I'll try," Namine said reassuringly. She gave Yuffie a small smile before laying her head on the pillow gently. She moved her hands over her ears and the tips of her fingers at Yuffie's temples. Riku looked over Namine's shoulder.

Namine closed her eyes and concentrated. She muttered a mix language between Latin and Pig-Latin before both of the girls' faces darkened.

Yuffie's real memories

Namine changing them

---

When Yuffie opened her eyes again, she was surrounded by a purple sky. Namine was beside her, looking around their surrounds. They stood on a small circular piece of land that floated in the middle of the… sky.

"Where are we?" Yuffie asked, and turned to face Namine. Namine looked to Yuffie, her eyes full of wisdom.

"Your mind, of course. Our bodies lay on Riku's bed, but our spirits in the very prison of your mind."

Yuffie took another look around her mind "prison" as Namine called it.

"Humans don't have these. Only us Vampires. To those who get exposed to the sun, their bodies crimple away to ash while their spirits stay in their minds. We don't go to Hell, we don't go to Heaven. Just stay here," Namine said quietly. "We live such a lonely life, don't you agree? All our lives we yearn for something- someone to for fill that empty space. So we create more of our kind, hoping our child will do it for us," Namine shook her head.

Yuffie cocked her head to the side. "Why are we so damned? I mean, really, a vampire's life is so dramatic. I sometimes wonder what life would be like as a human."

Namine giggled. "Yeah, I suppose so," Then her voice turned serious. "We'd better start."

Namine walked close to Yuffie, then slowly walked inside of her. Yuffie's vision went fuzzy, and her head couldn't think. She fell almost lifelessly to the solid ground, and things became unclear.

---

Namine opened her eyes and saw Yuffie laying on a man's chest under sheets. They both appeared exhausted and sweaty. The room was dark, yet the man and Yuffie's skin appeared to suck all the little bit of light and reflect it.

"Why are you crying, baby?" The man asked. Namine noticed the small wailing that could barely be heard.

"My first time… I just imagined that it would be something different!" Yuffie cried out. The older man shushed her quickly, and ran his hand through her hair.

"I love you baby…" Was all he could say. Namine paused the moment, the people froze in place.

And Yuffie could only remember being a virgin. The man hadn't ever even excised for all she knew.

Namine scanned to the end of Yuffie's memories to her very first. She began to work form there.

Namine's father had taken Yuffie in because her vampire clan had left her on the streets at the young age of two. Namine had kept her secret, and Riku and Axel had just found out recently. Namine continuously brought her blood, secretly and Yuffie had never gone outside the castle after that.

All Yuffie's old memories were pushed far from her mind. Namine made a mental barrier as strong as she could possibly make it. Then she left the small realm in Yuffie's mind.

---

When Namine opened her eyes again, she was laying beside Yuffie. Riku was pacing back and fourth, impatiently waiting for her.

"What happened?" Riku demanded.

"I changed her memories, nothing happened," Namine said. She rolled off the bed and landed on her feet. She straightened out her dress and met Riku's gaze.

"She won't find out her old memories, will she?"

"Most likely not, Riku-San."

Riku nodded and took one of the wine glasses form the table. He brought it to his lips and drank it nervously. Namine bowed and left the room.
