-Chapter 3-

There she was, once again training outside in the garden of the most beautiful mansion that anyone could find in Nibelheim. Her moves were smooth, but accurate. The way she spun round, with her shuriken in hand, and kick the air, amazed the man who was watching her from his bedroom window.

"Amazing at how smoothly she can move, with no mistakes whatsoever." The man thought.

'Very true, fellow mortal. It's quite a pity that you don't do something like that. As in, practicing you're shooting,' his most "prized" demon replied to the man's statement.

"What are you trying to imply? That I should put glass bottles in a row on a wall, and shoot them? Don't make me laugh demon. I could have done that without missing when I was still a teenager." The man mentally told his demon, disgusted by its proposal.

'I didn't mean that. I was trying to tell you in nicer terms, that I need to kill someone… Something. Anything. As long as I kill.' The demon, also known as Chaos, growled.

"Anything? Well, then why don't you try and kill yourself, if you really need to kill… Anything..?" Vincent said, mentally smirking at his demon.

'Very funny Valentine… Very funny. That girl… She's influencing you to become… A funny person?' the demon concluded, and burst into fits of laughter, and faded into the depths of the man's mind.

The girl was still practicing her moves, but this time, using her shuriken. She threw her shuriken at a tree with amazing strength, and that was when a gunshot was heard. Her shuriken fell straight to the ground, with a hole in one of the points.

"Aww great! Vinnie, did you have to do that!" she shouted, hoping that her "friend" who was hiding in the bushes, would come out and apologize for ruining one of the ever first shurikens she had found whilst on her adventure with AVALANCHE.

"Yuffie!" Vincent called out from the window. The shinobi looked up. "I'm afraid you're addressing the wrong person. I did not shoot your shuriken."

"But if you didn't, then who…?" she asked no one in particular, and another shot was heard.

This time, the person shooting had aimed at a tree and broke one of its loose branches off. This fell right next to Yuffie's left ear. She just stood there, looking into space, too scared to move.

The man ran out of the Mansion to join his ex-comrade from AVALANCHE.

'Who do you think came to visit our sweet, little ninja?' the demon snickered.

"We shall finds out soon, demon," the man replied, running down the stairs, and bashing the door open, and stopping right outside.

"Damn it Vincent! Where are you when I need your help?" Yuffie pleaded, whilst dodging another shot which came from a nearby tree.

Another gun shot was heard, but this came from right on top of her head. She looked up to see exactly what she wanted to see.

"VINNIE!" she screamed, turned, and gave him one of her famous 'Yuffie's Squishy Hugs .'.

Before she could put her arms around his waist, he moved away.

"Not now, Yuffie," he told her, and walked over to the dead corpse lying on the ground, where it had fallen from the tree.

"Where did he come from?" the young Shinobi thought aloud, and followed Vincent.

"He's the man who was shooting you," the cloaked man stated, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. He came to a stop in front of the corpse.

"How do you know that it's a man?" she asked him. She still hadn't reached the limb body on the ground yet.

"Is this girl blind, or what?" the man asked himself.

'You never know,' Chaos stated, and chuckled.

The man mentally glared at his demon. He went up to Yuffie, grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the corpse. Yuffie was shocked at the sight of this person. Well, what was left of… People actually. It just looked like pieces of skin sewn together to remake one man.

"This is how I know that it's a man…" Vincent told the girl, and without letting go of her wrist, he put her small hand right in between the man's legs. The young girl gasped, shut her eyes tight, and started blushing.

"Is that his…?" she asked afraid of what his answer would was. She couldn't finish her sentence, so she just blushed a darker shade of red instead.

"Yes," the man stated simply, letting go of her petite hand.

"Did you by any chance…?" she asked him just out of her own curiosity.

He just stared at her. "No…" he then answered her question, and went off inside the Mansion.

She waited till Vincent went back inside, and then quickly ran over to the limp body still lying there under the tree.

"Damn you… Dad…" she said, closing her eyes, as a tear rolled down her pink cheeks.

-Flashback-

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter." An elderly man, who was now probably in his late fifties, told the person behind the door.

"I'm here father. Did you call for me?" a young teenager asked her father. The man she loved most, but the one she hated most at the same time.

"Yes, I did. Now, we must make sure that you are ready to be the future Ruler of Wutai. You shall go through certain tests, and from there, you shall prove to us whether or not you are strong enough, physically and mentally to become Ruler of Wutai." The old man told his beloved daughter, whilst placing a pile of papers on one corner of his desk, putting his brush down, and placing his glasses on the table. He then looked at his daughter, as if waiting for her to reply. When she did, he did not expect her to say what she said.

"Dad… I don't want to be the next Ruler of Wutai…" the young Shinobi told her father, not being able to look him in the eye.

"What?" The old man stood up, and placed his hands on the table, to support his weight when leaning forward. "What do you mean you don't want to be Ruler of Wutai! It's not what you WANT Yuffie! It's what you HAVE to be! You can't choose whether to be Ruler of Wutai or not!" He shouted at his daughter.

"I don't care dad! I'm not going to be Ruler of Wutai! You just don't understand! You never did! I just wish you were the one who died instead of mum!" Yuffie shouted back at her father, and stormed out of the room, tears brimming her eyes.

-End Flashback-

He waited there for her to enter. And when she did, she just sped up the stairs to her room, and banged the door shut.

"Something is bothering her… What it is, I want to find out," the man said… to no one in particular, but his demon was obviously listening.

'Anyone would have noticed, you silly mortal! So, since you want to find out… Maybe you should go up to her room, and ask her what's going on…' Chaos suggested.

This time, the man actually took his demon's advice, and went upstairs, to see what was going on. He was shocked, when he heard things being trashed onto the ground, and the young girl screaming in anger, shouting something like 'I'll fucking kill you! I swear I will!'
