A/N: I decided to write a male/female story, since I've been writing a lot of yaoi lately. I hope you enjoy this story, and I also hope you review and tell me what you think. Anyway, here it is…
This update will be short due to writer's block. I'm really starting to think about quitting this story for awhile until I'm finished with my other ones. If you think I shouldn't, please inform me.
Current author's note: I still feel the same…

Chapter Four: My Savior:
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
What happened…?
She woke up with a groan. Her vision was fuzzy as usual but she could make out the shapes of the white trees of the Forgotten City. She was on her back on the moist ground. She rolled over on her side to observe her surrounds. She didn't see anyone around but she did see a small pond a few feet away from her.
Who was it that saved me…?
She remembered the image she saw right before she passed out. Who did she know that wore black and red? She crawled into a sitting position weakly. The pain in her torso was still there and she clutched it.
As soon as she did, she felt the soft fabric of a wrap across her whole torso area. She undid her shirt and saw the white cloth there. It was stained heavily by her blood. She put her shirt back on and scanned her surroundings thoroughly.
Did her savior put this on me…?
She gathered her thoughts. Who did she know that wore black and red? She could've sworn she saw a guy who both colors in Cloud's gang but she could be wrong? As she continued to ponder on past thoughts, an image of Tseng came to her mind. Oh, how worried she was about him. She heard the growling of her stomach but didn't pay attention to it any more as she tried to fight back the tears that brimmed on her eyes.
"Oh, Tseng…", she whispered as she brought her knees to her chest.
The only thing that could be heard now was the crickets of the night and many creatures making their individual noises along with her growling stomach that was getting louder by the second.
"Getting hungry?".
She looked over her shoulders and gasped at who it was right behind her. How come she didn't hear him? He wore golden metal boots with black leather pants and a red cape. It took her a while to realize that this was the same person she saw before she passed her. In her realization, she gasped and pointed at him. Her jaw practically hit the floor.
"It's you! You're the one who saved me!", she cried.
"Don't be so presumptuous…", he whispered as he folded his arms before his chest.
She noticed a golden claw on his left arm. His overall appearance was stunning to anyone and she was no different as she stared at him for what felt like the longest time. His voice rang in her ears but she couldn't respond.
Was it because of the pain…?
"Was it you that put these bandages on me?", she asked in a soft tone.
"Yes, I used a potion to soothe the pain so that's most likely why you don't feel much of it. I don't know how long you'll be safe though", he answered.
"What is your name anyway, mister? I think I've seen you with Cloud and the others…", she said as she looked down at the ground to think some more.
"I joined AVALANCHE to stop Sephiroth. My name is Vincent", he answered.
"Mr. Valentine? Mr. Vincent Valentine from the Turks of long ago?", she blurted out.
He frowned underneath the red clothing that covered his mouth and chin. She noticed the sad glow in his eyes and slapped a hand over her mouth. She immediately regretted what she said to him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I was just trying…", she trailed off.
What was I was trying to do…? Create a conversation…with someone I don't even know…?
As she pondered on her thoughts, she heard him clear his throat. Her head immediately snapped up to look back into those alluring crimson eyes of him. She couldn't help but get lost in them.
"You didn't answer my question. Are you hungry or not?", he asked.
"Sort of…", she lied and as soon as he heard those words he turned his back to her.
She saw a hole in his back that ripped through his red cape and his leather clothing, revealing a small wound in his back. It was the size of a bullet hole and was a putrid black color but it didn't bleed. The mere sight of it made her gasp.
"You're hurt!", she cried.
"I'm fine…", he muttered as he started to walk again.
"Wait! Can you tell me where Tseng is?", she shouted.
"I was looking for him but I had to check on you", he said as he looked over his shoulder. "I can go now?".
She nodded and he pulled a small pistol from his pocket. He carried it delicately over to her and placed it in her hands. She stared at the silver gun then back up at him confusedly.
"I'll be back as soon as possible…", he whispered as he stood up straight and left her there with a loaded and cocked gun.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Kadaj used the nearby pool to wash his stained blades off. His silver eyebrows were knitted together in frustration. He let a growl slip from his lips every other second as he roughly wiped his metal blades off with a towel.
"Kadaj…".
"Hm…", the silver-haired youth said as he looked over his shoulder.
In his aqua green eyes, he saw no one else but his long-haired brother, Yazoo. He had a frown on his face and there was a small cut on his cheek that looked like it stopped bleeding hours ago.
"I'm sorry. She got away from me…", the gunman said as he stared at him.
"Hm…Loz made Tseng lose consciousness. I always have to do things myself, do I?", the swordsman muttered as he dried his blades off. "We need to find out where that damned Reno-guy is!".
"We still have time. The stigma hasn't fully victimized the people yet…", the gunman stated as he paced back and forth.
"I don't care! The Reunion is coming regardless of how many people are 'victimized' by the stigma", the swordsman snorted as he sheathed his dual-sword.
"Where is Loz anyway?", the long-haired male asked.
"He went to look for you", the younger male answered.
"And Tseng?", the older silver-haired one questioned.
"Still hanging from the tree…we bandaged him up to at least attempt to stop the bleeding", the swordsman replied.

Elena started to doze off from time to time. She was getting very sleepy and she was still hungry. It was only around a half hour that Vincent had been gone and she cradled her knees to her chest that entire time.
She was happy nothing had disturbed her. She sighed from time to time and stared at the rippling water from the pond when something disturbed it. She was both glad and frustrated that she was in such a quiet and peaceful place.
She looked to her right and saw a tree that looked like she would be able to climb. Maybe she could sleep in a tree tonight. She didn't know if she could wait for Vincent because her eyelids were getting heavier by the second.
She bit her lips as she crawled to her feet. She limped over to the tree and grabbed it in a death grip that turned her knuckles white. She weakly pulled her leg up and placed it on the tree. As soon as she pulled up on the tree, she lost her footing and fell painfully on her ass. She hissed, feeling the pain shot up her spine.
"Damnit…that hurt…", she whined, "but I gotta try it again…".
With firm determination, she got up again and successfully climbed up the great with much difficulty. She practically felt like crying the whole way up. Once she got to the nearest branch, she hoisted herself over it and let out a relieved sigh. She didn't move anymore even though she was lying on her arms. She was too tired to move and allowed her heavy eyelids to close, sending her off into another deep slumber.

Loz grumbled as he stomped through the forest of white trees, complaining under his breath frequently. His bottom lip was poked out and his aqua green eyes were glued to the muddy brown earth beneath his feet.
"Why did I always get stuck with the stupid jobs?", he whined.
He sighed unhappily as his aqua green eyes stared at the muddy brown earth underneath his feet. He stopped abruptly when he felt something pressed against him on the back of his head. He heard the sound of a gun cocking and froze.
"Tell me where Tseng is and I won't have to pull the trigger", a masculine voice said in a growl behind him.
He chuckled and put his hands behind his head, "Whoa…officer, what did I do?".
"I don't have time for games…", the voice growled again.
"That's a shame then…", he smirked as he turned around quickly, earning himself a gun to his forehead.
He saw a black-haired man glaring at him angrily. It only made his smirk broaden. He stretched his arms out in a demonstrative manner as he took a few steps away from the angry gunman.
"Because I love games…", he finished.
He lunged forward, unleashing the spikes on his weapons were that attached to his hands. It didn't take long for the red-eyed gunman to start shooting. His aim was on point but the fast silver-haired male was shifting from side to side rapidly to avoid the bullets zooming towards him.
The aqua green-eyed male got within arm's reach as thrust his fist forward to connect with the raven-haired man's face but the older man shifted to the side and with great speed and strength punched the younger male in the face with his golden claws, ripping off a few pieces of skin in the process.
"Ah!", Loz yelled as he was thrown back a few feet.
He caught his balance again quickly and stroked his wounded face that was bleeding slowly. He frowned and glared at the gunman who was loading his gun again for a second assault.
"You cut my face!", he cried as his eyes brimmed with tears.
"I can see that…", the red-eyed man hissed as he aimed his gun at him again.
"You're lucky I'm on a mission to look for Yazoo instead of fray with you", the silver-haired male growled. "I'll finish you off later".
"No, you won't…", the gunman snarled as he put his finger over the trigger.
Before he could shoot, the silver-haired male was gone. He saw him disappearing in the trees and decided to follow him. Maybe the dimwitted man who lead him straight to where he could find Tseng.

A/N: Well, here it is…another short chapter. I'm really trying to get in the mood of writing chapter for this story again but it's not working. I wish this was longer. You guys should give me credit for trying. I'll try to update soon.
