Chapter Two: If Looks Could Kill

Yuffie waved as the Highwind sped off into the distance. When the large airship disappeared, Yuffie lowered her arm. Presently, she shivered. "Gawd, did we have to come at night, Coffin-Boy…or…" she poked Vincent on the shoulder, which she had to stand on her tip-toes to do so, "…you got me out here at night so you can turn me into a vampire too?" She started to smile, then stopped when her eyes met Vincent's gaze. Two slightly narrowed red eyes peered out from his black bangs. "My name is Vincent, not Coffin-Boy. We came at night because you slept until this afternoon, without your things packed." He made a slight gesture with his head to her backpack.

Yuffie chuckled. "Well Soo-rry! Gosh Vince didn't realize you were so sensitive…and that must've been the longest sentence I've ever heard you say! I feel so accomplished." She wanted to make some wise crack about that deep crimson cape he always totes around…then decided that she had already caused enough damage for the moment.

A few minutes went by and the silence was broken by none other than…Yuffie, of course! Gawd, this guy is way too stiff. Maybe I should've brought a board for better company. Hmm…Yuffie put a slight skip in her step followed by a hop.

"Hey Vinnie…are we there yet?"

"…"

Yuffie looked up into the solemn man's face. Skip, hop.

"Are we there YET?"

Silence.

"Hey Vinnniiiieee…." Yuffie sang.

"No, Yuffie. We are not there yet."

Yuffie danced about in a circle as she spoke. Skip, hop.

"Oh YEAH, score one for the Yuffster! I made Vincent speak!"

"Yuffie, it would be beneficial for you to be quiet."

"Two points! But, Vinnie, could you repeat that in English for me?"

Silence held between the two for approximately two minutes.

"It meant 'Yuffie, shut up before someone hears your loud mouth.'

Vincent shot her a death glare.

Gawd, Yuffie thought, if looks could kill…
