"Heartless..." Cid whispered in shock.

Vincent looked down wrapping the jacket around his pale form. "I'm...sorry...so...sorry..." Black flames rushed around him when they faded he was gone.

Cid dropped to his knees looking down, before screaming. Sora fell back shocked and slightly worried. Yuffie made no move staring blankly at the ground. Then something happened that even shocked Yuffie.

Cid was crying.

"Cid..."

"Dammit! He was right there! I was holding him!" he cried. "This isnt fair! We should of never came here, this should of never happened..."

Yuffie knelled next to him. "We know hes alive Cid...and he isn't hurt...we'll get him back..." she said softly in a unyuffie like voice.

"Hes...on there side" Sora smiled remembering Vincent and his conversation three days ago.

"No hes not!" Sora said kneeling next to Cid also. "Three days ago after we fought I ran into him...he was crying and singing...it was...i don't know."

"Breath taking...you felt as though you could feel what he was feeling..." Cid mumbled "Vin always had the ability..."

"Yeah! He said he join the heartless for someone he loved...because it meant saving them..." Cid looked at him face wet with tears.

"You better not be messing with me kid..."

"I wouldn't lie...its true! We'll get him back I promise!" he stood along with Yuffie holding his hand out. "Now come on"

Cid smiled grabbing his hand "Right...and Yuffie" she looked up at him when he stood.

"Tell anyone bout me crying and ill mess your ass up" He gave her a glare that said he truly ment that. She nodded understanding.

"Lets go tell the others!" Yuffie and Sora cheered.

OoOoOoO

After the information was released to the others, Cid had become more like he had the time before they lost Vincent. But since that one day turned into a week...then a month. He slowly retreated back.

"There are still Heartless here Cid...theres still hope" Leon said softly.

"Why...why after all this time...show just to leave again?" Sora also had left off to another world.

"He needed to Cid...if he was caught with us...he wouldn't survive..."

Cid sighed looking out the window to the dark castle in the distance. "I know...i...just want him back."

"Cid..." The door opened cutting off Leon Cloud appeared Aerith at his side.

"...Anything?" Cid asked after a moment. Cloud shook his head heading upstairs to his room. Cid sighed looking back out the window.

"Cid come on...why dont we...look around town shop a little?" Cid sighed once more standing.

"Sure..." She smiled at Leon as they both left. Walking down the path she hummed quietly.

"You...really think we'll see him again?" She smiled

"Anythings possible here!" she cheered. He sighed.

"like the creepy redhead Sora keeps fight that strangely reminds us all of Reno thus making Cloud angst in his little freaky spikey headed mind?" She blinked then started laughing.

"I guess.." She continued to laugh.

OoOoO

It was almost dinner time when they began to head back to the house. Cid was carrying a bag of stuff he and Aerith bought in the last 9 hours.

"So like...The heartless are being stopped right?" Aerith asked. Cid nodded trying not to think of Vincent. He slammed into someone dropping the load of stuff.

"I'm sorry..." Cid mumbled. The voice laughed. His head snapped up shocked.

"Reno?!" Said redhead laughed. His hair was a lot longer, square goggles held down the spikey bangs. His shirt was wider open revealing the pale scared chest, the turk jacket replaced but a large black jacket rimmed in red silver crosses on each side of the collar the cuffs were open even more with large zippers. His pants were long and baggy zippers going from the front of the pants below the pockets down to the shoes were they were open to give more room for the shoes. The pants were also rimmed in red large belts around his thighs tightened and keeping the baggy pants up right. A weapon similar to the EMR was in his hand the Shinra logo hanging from the end by a chain in his right hand.

"What no love?" Aerith took that as an invite squealing and hugging Reno tightly. Back at the house Cloud sat up whispering about something horrible just happening.

"Need. To...breath...Aerith!" he struggled out she pulled away muttering a sorry.

"So how the helled you get here?" Cid asked.

"I was portal raped..." Cid and Aerith gave him a look. "Joking...kinda...i was walking Rufus to his car and this black mist kinda appeared and sucked me out of the world. Fucking weird man...i felt sick but I landed infont of this strange castle with a wizard named Merline. He gave me a new outfit...well his creepy fairys did...i asked about the zippers to...they mentioned something about easy access. And then kicked me out..." He shrugged. "Hows Cloud...felt angry seme senses when Aerith hugged me..."

"Angry seme...never mind I don't wanna know...hes fine been a pain in the ass angsting.."

"And Yuffie? Vincent?" Cid looked away.

"Yuffies...a brat like always" he joked sadly.

"Vincent" Aerith looked down also. "What? What are you not telling me?"

"Hes on the enemy side...against his will."

"This whole time?" She nodded.

"Lets go before it gets dark its not safe to be out at night, I take it Merline filled you in on everything?"

"Heartless, Sora, that weird organization...what you guys are doing everything"

"Axel?" Cid asked

"Who?"

"Nevermind!" Aerith yelled before Cid could answer. "Lets go!"

They hurried up back to the house. Reno smiled before they enter "go in first tell me if Clouds in there if not...get him" They nodded smiling. Aerith walked in Cid behind her. Cloud was sitting at the table eating some food, which still could not be identified.

"Hey Cloud!" Aerith cheered. He looked up then back down. "Whats wrong?"

"I felt something today...a little before you came here..."

"Angry Seme senses?" Cid asked

"What?" Aerith glared at Cid

"Nothing..."

"Hey Cloud we got you something while we were out!" She cheered. He sighed hoping it wasnt another singing teddy bear.

Cid opened the door and he heard foot steps confused he looked up, all the breath in his lungs rushed out. "Reno..." he said after he remembered to breath.

"Yo" the red head smiled. And in a flash of black Cloud was hugging him.

"Your outfit..."

"Fairy's..."

"Oh...fucking fairy's..." Reno laughed berrying his face in Clouds chest. Aerith and Cid smiled watching the two. Leon walked in confused.

"Whose the new guy?"

"Clouds man...dont look straight at him...Clouds horribly possessive.." Aerith whispered to him.

"I heard that" Cloud growled voice muffled by the fact his face was buried in Renos hair, which even after there months apart still smelled like strawberries. He pulled slightly away holding Reno's face up to gaze into his lovers eyes which had turned a sparkling blue now that the world was ride of the Jenova infestation.

"Reno..." He mumbled, gently caressing the twin tattoos on the side's of his lovers face. "I missed you."

"I missed you to yo.." Looking up at blond, Reno smiled and reached up to take a handful of his hair, tugging him down. "A lot."

Smirking slightly, Cloud decided to give the redhead what he wanted and leaned down to press their lips together, sighing happily at the sweet taste of the others lips after so long. Leon coughed ruing the moment Aerith hit him in the shoulder.

"Reno..." Reno looked up just noticing Cloud was now taller then him. "We need to talk" Reno meeped when he was dragged upstairs but made no struggle.

"...right...talk" Cid mumbled laughing

OoOoO

Cloud was back with his lover...All was suppose to be well now...But...Vincent was still missing.

Cid sighed sadly looking out the window. Aerith was standing by him. "Cid..."

"Just...some time alone please?" She nodded softly leaving to go to her room.

He sighed looking out the window.

"Vincent..."

OOOOOO
