Yuffie looked at Vincent with shock, did he say what she thought he said? She looked upon the sleeping child in her arms, he had blood running from his stomache, he had a few scratches, and a bunch of cuts. A few bruses (bad spelling sorry), accept his face, he must've fallen backwards. She held him closer and pulled out the "Full Cure", materia, she held it to Vincent and set it to work.
"Don't worry Vincent, I'll get you back to normal. And if it is truely Sephiroth who did this to you, I'll make him pay!" she murmured to the sleeping child. His words still haunted her mind, "I'll stay alive from Lucrecia, and espeacially..... You." , she hugged him a little tighter as he moved and whimpered out a little more.
Cloud and the others were relieved and yet troubled by the news Red had found Vincent. They were glad he was alive and with Yuffie once again, they were worried about the news Red smelt Sephiroth's scent mixed with Vincent's blood, and really worried about Vincent being attacked at such a vonerable age he was stuck in now, who would've done this, several of the members thought as they arrived to the Highwind. Tifa and Cloud wnt in first to see, a young sleeping boy, his skin was pale, his raven black hair made him look so, his outfit was some what tattered and torn, blood stained, a slight cut was across his stomache, but a great deal better because yuffie used all her "MP", to heal it up.
"Yuffie, has he regained consiousness yet?" asked Tifa walking over to the two.
"So he's gonna be ok right?" asked Cloud.
"I'm sure, I mean he's pulled through worse then this right?" asked Yuffie. "Besides he said he'll pull through it."
"Yeah, if he beat Sephiroth.... He'll damn well pull through this as a cake walk!" said Cid.
"Thanks Cid..." murmured Vincent, he opened his eyes slightly, enough to show a little emotion, some what a cocky look on his face, yet it looked tired in away.
"Vincent?!" asked Yuffie, it surprised her, was he fakeing sleep that whole time? Or was he really asleep and awoke because of a nightmare? She smiled at him, her eyes kindly looked down upon, with a releaved look. "I was worried! Where were you?!" scolded Yuffie.
Vincent looked up at her, she wasn't putting on a good act, she tried to make herself look mad, but she instead looked relieved and happy almost. He sighed and craddled into her arms, he looked up at her, to some what embarrassed to look at the others yet.
"Well glad your awake, Vincent." said Cloud sarcastically.
"Hmph! I'm fine..." replied Vincent to that, usually when he was hurt, he would reply to Cloud the same way, with a 'Hn', or silence and then 'I'm fine'. Cloud just smiled at that and accepted that as if Vincent had said, 'I'm fine, little hurt, but just as well.'
"Come on Yuffie, Vincent's so dirty." said Tifa.
"Right we'll be towards the back." said Yuffie. Cloud and Cid sniggered at Vincent was carried off, after they left that room all the boys in that room laughed their asses off, Cloud just stiffled a laugh, they all knew that when Tifa thought you needed a bath she'd make you take one or threat to give you one herself.
"I don't wanna take a bath!" whined Vincent.
"Now Vincent, your covered in blood, and dust, and mud, and other things, your flithy, we're going to give you a bath." said Tifa.
"No!!" complained Vincent this time like a little kid.
"Come on now, calm down, the water is just right." said Yuffie as she pulled off his shirt, he whined and she undressed him and put him in the bath tub.
"I can bathe myself!" said Vincent. But instead of being taked seriously, Tifa lathered up the shampoo, and cleaned his hair. He covered his eyes so he couldn't get soap in his eyes, he felt Yuffie use a wash cloth to rub the blood and dirt off him. 'WHAT ON EARTH DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS?!' thought Vincent to himself, he knew he needed to repent, but he wasn't expecting THIS type of punishment.
"Almost done, just need to clean your face." said Yuffie, then Vincent felt Yuffie scrub his face lightly, he pulled away at points, he was apparently acting like his younger, childish self now. "All done!" said Yuffie. Vincent didn't know it but Yuffie bought him a back up outfit incase this happened. It was a pair of blue jeans, with an adorable little boy's shirt, it was light blue and had white writeing on it that said "Slugger", on it.
"Oh! Your so cute!!" said Tifa, then she did the thing Vincent truely didn't want her to do, she pinched his cheeks he looked so young and innocent she couldn't help it.
"Ah! Stop it! Please let go!" said Vincent his button nose and his cheeks that Tifa were pinching turned crimson red. Tifa let go, they blow dried his hair and combed it. He took his old head band and tied it around his head, he blushed looking at himself in a mirror. He looked so cute and innocent, he hated that, he wanted to look like he usually did, dark, cold, and emotionless. Not cute, adorable, baby person like.
"Well let's go let everyone see how adorable you look Vincent!" said Tifa. Personally Vincent did not like the iea of that, but he was lead off.
