Yuffie weirly staggered towards NeoMidgar, Vincent slumbered in her arms. Her eye sight was getting blurry and she could hardly keep her wits, Vincent was no help to that either. Vincent shuddered and held tight to Yuffie, then blood leaked onto his mouth, this awakend the small child in her arms.
"Yuffie... Use swome materiwa..." said Vincent sleepily as he pulle dout cure3 materia.
"But, Vinnie..." said Yuffie as it was put up against her abdoman.
"Cure... Thwee..." said Vincent as the glowing light covered her body and started to heal her. She looked down at the sleepy yet smileing child.
"Thank you... Vinnie." said Yuffie.
Vincent closed his eyes letting the image of her stay in his subconsious mind. He saw her cheery smile, and her brown eyes gleaming with life. He smiled in his sleep, to Yuffie... He looked like a perfect angel. His raven hair glemmered in the moon light and his pale skin shone.
"That woman..."
"You take great intrest in this woman?"
"... Shut up..."
"Are you tired of me?"
"Shut up! I've had enough of you toying with me!"
"What a stunt, I turned back into an infant myself... You must be really determined to piss me off."
"Shut up Sephiroth!" said Vincent screaming into the darkness. Then Yuffie appeared before him, she was wearing a white dress and she looked so happy.
"Vincent I found you!' said Yuffie, she ran up to him and held him.
"No... Not another one of your illusions..." said Vincent.
"What do you mean Vincent? It's me Yuffie." said the woman.
"Sephiroth... Stop it..." said Vincent.
"My for a child your sharp tounged." said Sephiroth, "I wish I didn't have to kill you."
"Why?" asked Vincent.
"You would make an excellent puppet."
Vincent glared at the yuffie with Sephiroth's voice emmiting from her. Sephiroth just smiled and the puppet faded away to show Sephiroth.
"Leave me alone... I don't care if you remain an adult and I remain a child! I just... I just want you to leave me and my friends alone!" said the child lashing out a Sephiroth.
"Wake up!" said sephiroth as he faded..
"Vinnie..." said Yuffie as she stroked his hair beads of sweat trickled down Vincent's face. He awoke with a start, then layed back down in the bed. His weary red eye fixed themselves on Yuffie.
"Morning... Are you still haveing nightmares?" asked Yuffie, as she picked him up and cradled him in her arms.
"Iw'm gwuessing you gwot hwome ok?" asked Vincent realizeing he was asleep the whole time except for once.
"Yep, Cloud got worried and found me right on the outskirts and brought me back in." said Yuffie as a smile went across her face. Vincent setteled in to her cradle and rested his head on her arms. 'After, Vinnie transformed last night... He's been really tuckered out, almost like he's been through hell and back.'
"Yuffie?" asked Vincent wearily.
"Yes Vinnie?" asked Yuffie, she held him closer so he woudn't use so much energy.
"Thwank you fwor twakeing care wof mwe... Pwease bwe cwareful..." said Vincent.
"Vinnie... siigh." said Yuffie as Vincent had already fallen back to sleep, "Rest easy, we'll be out of this city soon."
Later on...
"Alright we have Vincent's blood work!" said Cait Sith jumping in.
"Well how is it?' asked Cloud anxiously.
"Well there seems to be nothing in his blood or anything that is keeping him as a child or that transformed him into an infant... Infact, we think this was done by something far greater than mako and we just cannot tell what it is.. It's undetectable." said Cait Sith.
"Well shit! You mean he's gonna stay like that fo evea?" asked Barret.
"Well... Not for ever... He could be killed before then, and he might just grow up." said Cait Sith.
"Oh... Real comforting.." said Cid sarcastically.
"We'll just have to keep our eyes on him a lot." said Tifa.
Vincent started to stirr it was like he woke up from an over douse of sleep medication, he sat up and fell right back down, his eyes fluttered, then he looked at the door to him room. he sat up and kept his balance and dragged himself to the door. Just then Yuffie came through the door and tripped over Vincent's leg, she then fell on the bed.
"Yuffie! Awre you awright!" asked Vincent as he scrambbled up to her.
"I'm fine." she said, "just a little shocked."
"Iw'm sworry!" said Vincent as he blushed, "I... I dwidn't mwean two... Hm?" said Vincent as yuffie picked him up.
"Well we got your results from the analyzation." said Yuffie.
"What?" asked Vincent.
"Your perfectly normal. What ever sephiroth did to you, hasn't done anything truely harmful to you." said Yuffie.
"How cwan Iw bwe pwerfecwy normwal! Wook at mwe Iw'm 2!" said Vincent.
"I know I know, I thought the same thing almost, but alas it is the truth."
"Iw gwess we'll nweed two fwind Sephiwoth." said vincent.
"Yeah... I gwess we will." mocked Yuffie goofily.
"Hey! Thwat wasn't fwunny!" said Vincent.
"Let's go." said Yuffie giggleing.
"Hmph... I guess I can still get revenge some how..." muttered Vincent, "..? Hey wait fwor mwe!"
