A/N: I had to redo the entire chapter for this. An hour into making it I decided it sucked and restarted. I got a really nice idea for this one too! So, have fun… oh read the rest of my a/n though. Thankies for reviews! And a special thanks to the reviewer that's been emailing me! I'm not online right this moment so I cant exactly look up your name, sorry D: . But thank you soooo much! your letters and reviews inspire me so much to write!

OH! So get this guys! I raise fish right? Ok, so I already have a fish named sehiroth. He's a beta, you know, the pretty, fluffy, chinese fighting fish? Anyway, he looks like one of sephiroths wings from kingdom hearts. Well, I went out yesterday and bought a female Beta and named her Yuffie! And She wants to play with Sephiroth, but his size in comparison to her is so large, I'm afraid that he'll kill her. (all he really wants to do is mate OO;;;) But last night, Yuffie must have busted her face up or something on her lastic plant! NO! I hope she's better soon! (or I hope it's just part of her fins.) Wish me good luck with me fish! Maybe if they have babies I'll name them after the entire FF7 cast! The first one is Kadaj (cause kadaj looks like what you would think their offspring would be! heh heh!) READ DAMNIT! (does anyone else support VincentxTifa.. I know it's weird but….)

Disclaimer: I don't own final fantasy! Right Cid? (I got board.)

Cid: …yeah what ever

Prisoner 3

Break down

There was on was he would actually do this. He wouldn't would he? He was kind at heart! Wasn't he! Sure enough she couldn't fight him off. Something about him was kinder though. This time wasn't like in the forest. He was being gentle.

"You alright?" He asked as he pecked down her collarbone. She only shook her head 'no'. It couldn't be like this. She had just been standing outside and now…now he was all over her.

"I promised you, remember?" he stated while smiling up at her, "It's not going to be all that bad. Just… think of something else."

She thrashed around under his weight, "NO! GET OFF ME!" His weight only got heavier, then heavier, then suddenly, she felt out winded, like she had no energy left. Why couldn't she breathe? She had practically nothing left in her as the mans silver hair pooled around her shoulder, "why…why wont you leave me alone?" Tears by this time, were flooding down her cheeks.

He softly brushed them away with the back of his hand and kissed her cheeks. "You should know well enough how I feel."

"What!" Suddenly her energy was back, she shoved him off of her and looked around, "Wait, where are we?"

The man smiled up and her and hugged her, "Back in the hotel, just like earlier. Remember?"

"Now you're getting a little too fruity to be Sephiroth." She looked him over and shrugged, "Although you do have his body." She turned away with a smirk letting her mind wander slightly till the man grabbed her shoulder and shook her softly.

"We have to get up."

"NO!" She covered her eyes, "Damn it! DON'T WAKE ME UP!"

Yuffie looked over at the still sleeping Sephiroth. She sat up rubbing her forehead, "…great." Her blankets stuck to her. "Ew….it must be stick outside." She paused hearing a noise on the top of the tent. It sounded like a pellet gun had hit it. Then the sound came again, then again. Yuffie pealed the covers off of herself and crawled to the opening of the tent and pushed it to the side. "It's pouring." They were out in a field. Bone village could be seen not too far from their camp site. "Why didn't we just walk their and get a hotel…" Yuffie looked back when she heard slight rustling. The last thing she want to do was wake Sephiroth.

They had been walking to Bone Village for about a week now in order to leave Cloud in their tracks. Sephiroth had been awake more the half the time she was sleeping. He was either standing guard, looking for information on Cloud's whereabouts, or just carrying Yuffie so they could get there faster. He deserved to sleep, despite the fact that he was her practical kidnapper, he was also her protector and master at this point, and she was grateful enough for his well treatment of her.

Yuffie crawled over beside him where he was sleeping and laid her head back down on her pillow thinking. "What an awkward dream, don't you think?" She asked the sleeping man. "Bet it would make you want to leave me behind." Yuffie smiled, "That's ok though. It's not like I would really want that to happen." There was another noise outside the tent and she went to listen to it again, only to find a little bird snapping twigs and pulling up worms in the rain. Yuffie sighed and sat down next to him again.

Her eyes suddenly stopped on his face. His pretty pale face that seemed so decorated for a man who would plan to take over the world and then destroy it in order to use the world as a mere 'ship' to sail the stars. Her eyebrow twitched slightly as she realized where her thoughts were going, "Oh no. He'll wake up if I do." Yuffie bit her lip and shifted her gaze as soon as her eyes were drawn to his mouth, "I mean, it's not like I would want to anyway….but he did say that he would reward me if I got him out… so…I guess it would be alright." Yuffie looked back at him with a smile and brushed some of the hair away from his face. "Ok, just this once. And then I never try it again." Yuffie leaned down toward his face, feeling her heart pound in her ears. Just as she was about to close the kiss, as hand shoved her back softly and made her sit up.

"What are you doing?"

Yuffie's face reddened, "I….I…. you said that-"

"I said nothing of the sort. Now, if you would, I'd rather not be woken that way." Sephiroth brushed the rest of his hair out of his eyes and sat up, "We should get going."

Yuffie's hands were rested shamefully on her knees. "It's raining." She dusted her shoulders off in hopes of distracting her self from the recent event.

"…and?"

"We can't go out in the rain can we?" Yuffie asked, learning that in no way, had he been affected by what just happened.

He threw her his old trench coat. "You can wear this. Your hair is the only thing that will get wet."

She nodded and pulled the white T-shirt of his that she had been sleeping in off. She found her blue tank top and brown vest and put them on. She had already been wearing her shorts and so she just slipped on her high tie boots and Sephiroth's coat.

"…why are you wearing your normal clothes?"

"…it's not like Cloud's here to see me."

"….but if we get caught…"

"Then Cloud forgives me and you go back into the basement."

Sephiroth threw his covers off and slipped his clothing on quickly. His stretched in his white robe and stood up with the plan of packing. For luggage, they now had, Yuffie's materia and money bag. A food and emergency medical supply bag, a clothing bag, and a travel bag that held their things like the tent and their sheets and pillows. Most of the time Yuffie would convince Sephiroth to use his staff to carry everything, but then at other times, Yuffie would be forced to use her Katana to carry her things too.

"Let's get going." He had placed everything into the bags and threw them in a pile. "We can leave the tent here. I'll buy another in town."

"What about breakfast?"

Sephiroth opened the food bag and sighed, "You want bread? That's all we've got for now."

Yuffie growled to herself, "What happened to all the money?"

Sephiroth shook his head, "Medical supplies, food, clothing, cost of rent, tolls renting Chocobo's to get to fort condor faster. That little stunt you pulled that got us that fine-"

"Sorry…"

"It happens. The price of paying that guy off to hide us from cloud at the Chocobo farm. Staying in Midgar that entire week. Paying off Reno to keep quite about me. Need I go on?"

Yuffie shook her head and tightened the belts on the coat, "So this will keep me warm?"

Sephiroth nodded carrying the bags out of the tent, "Come, let's go."

The two headed off toward bone village, following the gray pavement into the now populated city.

She looked around at the all too unfamiliar setting. "Why are we here?" They had passed through bone village only an hour ago, and were now in to most dreadful place imaginable. "Ajit." She thought aloud. "Sephiroth, why are we here?" She looked at the seashell pavement of the Ancient City.

"We have to meet some people. They know what I'm looking for."

"…you're looking for something?" She asked thinking about what he could possibly be looking for.

"…yes." He continued to glance back at the girl as she remained deep in thought. She was still wearing his coat as the rain poured down on them. Something about it was intriguing. He smiled and looked foreword when she shot him a glare. "I'm looking for a few things in fact."

"Repentance? Cause there's a church in Midgar that-"

"Don't be foolish. What I'm looking for is far from that. I want two things." He spoke as if his mind was trailing off. "Would you follow me to the ends of the earth?"

"…I sort of am."

"I mean to death."

Yuffie shrugged, "I guess I'm damned either way. …I suppose, facing you, is just easier then facing the people that I really love."

Sephiroth felt something strike him. Something about the 'people that I really love' comment got to him. "So you care nothing for me?"

"I do." She smiled, "Just in a cynically caring for a bad guy way."

"I'm not a 'bad guy'. I'm a general."

"Ex-Soldier." She corrected. He only nodded and allowed himself to slip back into thought. She cared for him… but not like her friends. He wasn't a friend. Wait, should that bug him? No! He was the almighty Sephiroth, weilder of meator, destroyer of planets, heart of Chaos. He should care nothing of the mere thoughts of a child. Nothing! Although, there was something about her that made him wish that he would have had her pep and chear at his side before to change his one track thought process. The only thing that he ever really cared about was getting revenge for the false life that he had lived on the surface and soon the revenge that he wanted for his mother. Now, he wanted to keep her safe. His origional idea had been that he was going to escape, stay with her for a while, and then kill her once he felt the time was right. The situation had never come before him and now he was dealing with some undying affection for a mere child.

"This is where…" Yuffie pointed to the all to familiar place that Aeris had died.

"We're here."

"Why are we here! Who's here that we could need ot speak to? Vincent?" She asked.

Sephiroth stride to the door and knocked, hearing some crashes and shouts from inside. Yuffie stepped close to him as soon as something flew out the upstairs window.

"YOU POMPOUS FOOL! SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND FIND IT!" shouted a male voice.

The victim of the commotion only commented back with, "Stop being mean, I didn't lose it. You did!"

"You think I would 'play' with something that precious!"

"YES! I do! And it's not just yours it's all of ours!" The deep voice fought back.

The door finally opened to reveal a very pretty teenager. His jaw dropped upon seeing Sephiroth, "Big brother…" The boy with the side swept bangs spoke.

"Yazoo." Sephiroth nodded, "Where is-"

"How are you back!" he asked with wonderment in his eyes.

"The same way you are back. Life Stream rejection. Again." Sephiroth spoke plainly. "where is Kadaj?"

Yazoo pointed upward to where the shouts had been coming from. "They lost mothers materia."

Sephiroth seemed to be slightly tweaked by the idea, but nodded. "I see." He stepped in the house, Yuffie clinging to him for protection. "You can let go child. No one here will hurt you."

Yazoo looked at Yuffie and nodded, "Isn't she one of-"

"Strife's team? Yes." He stated. "This is Yuffie. She's the one who released me from Cloud's trap."

Yazoo nodded at her again, "So Yuffie, you might want to stay down here." Yuffie mearly nodded back and hid herself in her slumped shoulders.

"k." She stated softly.

"Kadaj." Sephiroth spoke in a low tone that made the two stop pulling at each others hair and throwing punches.

"He started it." Loz stated. "…why do you have a white coat on?" (A/N: AHH! Loz is so cute! X3 I wanna keep him as a pet!)

Kadaj shoved Loz away and walked over to Sephiroth placing his hands lightly on his shoulders, "B-brother. How are you…"

"The life stream rejected me. As it did you. …Yazoo says that you lost mother." Sephiroth's tone was cold and bitter.

Kadaj pointed to Loz, who was now sitting on the floor rubbing his blackened eye, "Loz lost her."

"I did not. You were out in the forest with her and lost her." Loz scratched his nose. "You wouldn't let me play with her when you got home. So that must mean that you lost it."

"Kadaj, I need mothers tool in order to finish the job." Sephiroth turned around and paused, "I'm staying here. …if you don't have mother's materia by morning… I'll kill you myself." Sephiroth walked out of the room leaving Kadaj with his head slightly hung and his eyes aggravated. Loz followed Sephiroth out of the room.

"You're not prettier then me… why is he traveling with you?" Yazoo stated.

"What?" Yuffie looked up at Yazoo as he looked her over.

"Why, what would drive him to travel with you? There's nothing special about you." He was blunt.

"…I…. Why should my looks matter. I saved him, that's why. Cloud was going to experiment on him and torture him but never let him die. I just let him out of a cage and ran away with him…. …I figured that he would have killed me by now…" Yuffie lowered her head into Sephiroth's coat, absorbing the leather scent that stuck to it. "I'm beginning to think that maybe he's just bringing me along for his own fun. That maybe he's suspending my life to make it all more worth while when he does kill me."

Yazoo looked satisfied. There was a smirk on his face that seemed to show his gratefulness to her comment. He wanted her dead sure enough, possibly as much as Sephiroth did.

"Mother… she's started to remind me of her." Sephiroth spoke as he came down the stairs with Loz following him.

"Who's she!" Loz asked happily. He ran past Sephiroth and sat near Yuffie, "Don't you belong with other brother?"

She nodded and kept silent.

"Sephiroth," Loz asked, "Let me play with her."

Sephiroth rolled his eyes, "Yuffie… do you want to train with Loz? You could learn some sword fighting skills if you really wanted to."

Yuffie shook her head, "He beat Tifa to a pulp."

Loz frowned, "I let her live."

"You almost killed her though!" Yuffie shouted.

Loz looked away and grumbled something.

The three other brothers all shot glances at him and shouted, "Stop crying."

Loz put his hand on his forehead, "I'm not crying."

Yuffie giggled and the four all looked at her.

Loz, Yazoo, and Kadaj all looked upon her with disbelief whilst Sephiroth just smiled at their expressions.

"What… have you all never...heard… somebody laugh..?" She asked.

Sephiroth nodded, "They have, but not like you did. You laughed out of happiness, and not spit or anger."

"…oh… there are other kinds of laughing?"

Sephiroth walked to her and pulled her up off the couch, "I'll show you our room." The three watched Sephiroth lead her up the second staircase.

Loz smiled when they were out of sight, "She is like mother. No wonder he loves her."

The two looked at Loz questioningly, "what?"

"He loves her. He just doesn't know."

"wow…it's really pretty here!" Yuffie smiled. She was looking over the landscape of Ajit. The sun beamed down onto the back yard of the seashell home and made beautiful rainbows along the river that flowed into the lake in front of the house. The tree's crystalline quality made the forest floor seem to glitter in the daytime. She smiled and looked back at him as he laid their things at the foot of the bed. "It's so pretty, I wouldn't think that you four would like these kinds of things."

"…I suppose… I've nothing that I really cherish in this world though. Except for mother…"

Yuffie thought of his 'she started to remind me of mother' comment. "And me too right?"

Sephiroth looked at her for a moment and turned his back, "I suppose."

Yuffie marched over to him and shook his shoulder, "You've got to wake up Sephiroth, how can you just 'suppose' you care about something?"

He looked back at her with a glint in his eye that set her insides off, "I'm not sure. I suppose you could explain to me why I'm supposed to care."

She let go of his shoulder and shook her head, 'don't show fear Yuffie. He can smell it.' "You wouldn't care anyway."

"You really think I wouldn't?"

"…would you? I mean, did you really mean what you meant down there?" She asked, feeling her nerves tangle in her stomach. Something about his relationship with his mother disturbed her. The thought of a man bent on revenge for someone who really wasn't even alive anymore was a little odd. "were you infatuated with your mother?"

He stopped and turned around, "…no."

"But most all men have some form of obsession with their mother, is it just that you loved her to the point that your love was strong enough to think you really… loved her?"

Sephiroth's face was stern, yet he showed no signs of anger, "I loved her as a mother, like an orphan would love his mother if she suddenly take him back."

"…oh… I'm sorry… I've just always wondered…"

"It's alright. I'm surprised that you didn't shoot me the common soldier 'are you gay' question."

Yuffie smiled, "nope, I've more expected an odd incest wish then a group room honey bee thing."

"…what?"

"The group room at the honey bee. In Midgar… it's this room where…." Yuffie's face slightly contorted, "…never mind." (A/N: for those of you who don't know, the group room is a room you can go into at the honey bee, if you can manage to get in. If you do get in the honey bee, and you chose this room, Cloud basically gets raped by a bunch of guys. Seriously. It's kind of weird….)

"…alright then…" Sephiroth glanced out the window for a moment then back to Yuffie who was now observing the room. She seemed to be pleased with the darkened setup. It was something that Yazoo had done to the ancient city house. Decorated the walls with things from Sephiroth's soldier days and such.

"Your room is really pretty…" Yuffie sighed sitting on the bed. "Back in Wutai… I ended up getting my own house…because I don't get along with my dad, and my mother died."

Sephiroth walked over and sat next to her, "your mother was someone that I killed correct?"

Yuffie's eyes flashed with pain, "…I don't think so."

Sephiroth nodded, "During the Wutianese war. The queen retaliated when I had a 'jenova moment' she saved the lives of maybe fifty children, and sacrificed her own."

Yuffie balled her hands into fists on her knees and shook her head, "You don't have to speak so bluntly about it."

"I do though. It was your mother. And you loved her. I have to be honest about it. As I would have you respect my mother."" Sephiroth nodded while speaking, "She was possibly the most honorable ninja in Wutai. And you are her second coming. I admire you for your dedication."

Yuffie looked over at him, this was his way of stating his affection for her, wasn't it? Telling her that he respected her and her mother. That he thought more of her then most people.

"You've done your best to restore Wutai and yet you still are trying to restore something that most would consider beyond compare." Sephiroth touched his finger to his forehead, "Something about the way that you think. It makes me admire you, you're always so optimistic. Though I would prefer not to be that way."

Yuffie leaned over and hugged him tightly, not realizing why she did it, but suddenly feeling a greater pull and reason for it. "Thank you." No one had ever said that they respected her, or even spoke of their general liking her.

He looked down at his little pet. Something about her clinging to him, it unnerved him and made his stomach turn.

"I'm sorry…that I've caused you so much trouble." She stated hugging him tighter.

"i…..it's alright…" he nervously hugged her back. Realizing that he had never actually hugged anyone all his life. It was something that he felt he had to lower himself to, like it was a chore. "I… I'm sorry for all that I've done… You can forgive me correct?" He looked down and his face, for possibly the first time in his life, reddened. The little ninja was fast asleep on him. "…I must have wore you out." He spoke, moving her to lay down on his bed. "Here's that bed that you wanted to sleep on….." he frowned at himself. He was weak now. This little girl had bested his emotions, and there seemed to be nothing that he could do about it.
