(Yay Chapter two! I would like to thank you for the reviews.

And I do hope to get more! So anyways...I'll continue..And I promise I'll try not to get any writers block ;;;; Sorry Jai-chan... ;

I ran inside the Clinic where Vincent was taken. Apperantly he had collapsed in the freezing cold. He didn't take anything warm with him. When the man found him. He looked dead. Because he was cold and pale. Vincent was always pale..which made him look dead.

I stopped and smiled. I never really saw him get sick. I stopped and gently touched his cheek. He looked so peaceful when unconcious. I carefuly removed some hair from his face. Revealing his facial features. His face looked so frail, so delicate. So soft. I smiled. I wondered how could someone look so peaceful, when they have gone through so much. Lucrecia. He still loved her. Despite everything she had done to him.

I can imagine the pain he went through. When it comes to that...we are so alike, but in other things...we're so diffrent. I sat down next to him, waiting to see what the doctor would say. I closed my eyes and dozed off.

Vincent slowly opened his eyes.He looked up at the sleeping beauty next to his bed. He slowly lifted himself up, and held his head. "Aerith ..." He slowly whispered. Was she looknig after me this whole time?. He suddenly saw her wake up. Those green orbs looking at him. Vincent sat up and nodded. "Thank you..." He looked away. Trying to hide away that small blush that slipped on those pale cheeks of his.

I smiled and giggled at his blush."Why are you thanking me?" I arched a brow. Still smiling at him in my cheery manner. Of course he wouldn't dare to look at me. He was so concealed. Just like Cloud, He never let anyone know what he was thinking ...just like Cloud. I felt depressed. But Immidietly hid that pain away and covered it up with a cheerful smile.

"So Vincent...what brings you here?"

"I was investigating something..."

"Investigating what?" I asked With Curiosity. He was away for so long. Well he was a former turk

He looked at me, like he didn't want to tell me.

"Its ok ...you dont have to tell me. I understand." I played around with my hair for the mere moment. Vincent glanced at me. And at last he decided to tell me.

"Well..I'm looking for someone...who weilds the power of Holy . I have been searching for Professer Gaast's research..." I stood up and walked towards him. Leaning forward, to look at him straight in the face. . " Shily shally Dilly dally" I smiled playfuly. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Vincent you could at least ask for some help. From some of your friends. " I poked him in the forehead playfuly. Still he was giving me that look. He was so serious. I thought it was cute.

"Professer Gaast...I know where he lived. " He nodded. Still hiding every emotion that he felt. I knew that deep down inside he was releived. I sighed ."Professer Gaast was my father. " He looked at me. His eyes widening. More like it was to hard to belive that he was actually my father.

"So...where is his home?" He cut down to buisness."Down the street." I added. He stood up and walked out t he door. "Are you coming? Or not?" I smiled. "Oh alright, alright..I'm coming." I walked out after him. And down the street we went to my father's old house. Vincent glanced around, at the messed up place.

There were cobwebs, dust every where, and millions of paper on the ground. I sighed . "Wow looks like this place needs some cleaning up. Right?" I looked towards Vincent. He just walked off to find whatever he needed to find. I shrugged. "Vincent..what exactly are you looking for ?"

"Holy."

"Holy? But Vincent...Holy materia...my mother..." Vincent stopped and looked at me.

"Your mother...what about her and holy?"

"Renember..only the Ancients can find holy. Vincent...My mother gave me that materia. Im the one who weilds it." I sighed. "What do you want with Holy?" Vincent looked at me.

"It doesn't concern you."

I clenched my fist ."Yes it does concern me. Vincent, is it about Hojo?" I asked with concern. I was worried about him. I wanted him to open up to me. I guess it was a little to much since Vincent is Vincent. And he never opens up to anyone. I sighed and looked away. Vincent lifted his head a bit.

"How do you know?" A serious look spreading across his face.

"Well...lets say..I came here against my own will." Vincent raised an eyebrow. "You were kidnapped?"

"Well lets not say Kidnapped. They threatened me to come with them. Well they actually told me they were going to hide me here. Someone is trying to revive Hojo...Thats what I was told."

I leaned against the wall sighing. "I want..to go back to Midgar...I ...miss them..." I looked up at the dusty ceiling. Twirling my braid around. I miss him. Even though Cloud has Tifa. He also has me. Because..we are connected. I can hear his every thought. I dont know how. But I can feel what he feels. And I know Cloud feels lost right now. I want to be there to guide him back.

I was so lost in thought. I didn't know Vincent had placed his hand on my shoulder. Staring straight at me. I blinked my eyes twice and looked up at Vincent. "Is something wrong?" He asked. I shook my head and smiled cheerfuly "No, Im just fine !" Vincent grabbed my arm, with his metal claws digging right into my skin. I winced a bit in pain, and looked up at him. "Vincent...stop your hurting me..." I tried getting out of his grasp. But it wouldn't work. He looked down at me. "Your hurting yourself even more."

"No I'm not-" He interupted.

"You still love him. You still love Cloud dont you?"

"I dont love Cloud. He belongs to Tifa." I looked down, tear eyed. I couldn't take it anymore. I ran up to Vincent and hugged him.

"I can't take it anymore. Cloud ..I can feel it. Cloud is lost again. He needs guidence..but its not in my place..."

I burried my face in his chest. Crying letting the tears flow. Vincent covered me with his cloak.

"Look. I dont know how to comfort others but. Try to set him behind you. As I did with Lucrecia..." He trailed off. I wiped the tears away from my face and smiled again. "Thanks. I'm sorry for breaking down on you Vincent...its..not like me..I guess..I needed to let out all my feelings. Once again I'm sorry." Vincent nodded plainly. "Try to forget him..." And with those words said to me. He somehow made me feel better. I dont know why but it just did.

"So Vincent..did you figure out who was trying to revive Hojo?" Vincent shook his head. "I think it might have something to do with ShinRa Im not sure." I nodded and sat down, The door flung open, and in came Reno. "Hey we're go'n back to Midgar. " I nodded and followed after him. But before I left, I looked up at Vincent. "Are you sure you'll be fine? You don't need anything, right?

Vincent nodded" Enough worrying about me. Just go. " I sighed and left with Reno. I was worried about Vincent. At the same time, kinda embaressed that I broke down in tears infront of him. Oh god. I was just acting weird lately. I never did.I didn't know what was going on with me. I sighed. And looked out the window. Everything looked so small.

We atlast arrived at Midgar. I ran off. I knew the Turks would somehow find me. But I ran off to the church. To my surprise I saw a sleeping Cloud. I smiled at him. Sitting on my knees. I stroked his cheek gently. "Cloud..." I whispered. "I'm here...I know you feel lost...but its not in my place...to help you find your way..." A tear strolled down my cheek, and fell upon Cloud's fore head. He slowly opened his eyes. "Aerith?" I blinked and smiled.

"Cloud why are you here? Most importantly why are sleeping here in the flower bed?"

"Nothing..I needed to think..."

"Think about what?"

"You..."

"Me?"

"Yes you. Aerith...I need you..back..."

I stopped to look at him. Was he crazy? I touched his forehead to see if he was ok. "But Cloud you love Tifa. Don't do this to her."I sighed. And stood up. "Cloud...the only reason I came here...was because I know your lost. I know you need guidence. But you love Tifa, and Tifa loves you. I can't take you away from her." I slowly backed away from him. I loved Cloud. But I couldn't see Tifa in pain.

Cloud hugged me. He knew I was right. He loved Tifa, but he also loved me as well. "Aerith...You may be right. But your always my light. I know you are. Your always there when I need you..." He held her close.

"Cloud..." I pulled away from him. "Dont hurt yourself...I want you to be happy..." I smiled and walked away. He stood there watching me leave. He knew there wasn't anything else to be done. He smiled. "I want you to be happy to Aerith. But I still love you.."

I walked away. It pained me. I didn't go back to him. His place was with Tifa not mine. Another tear strolled down my cheek. I wiped it away.

A monster apeared before me. I used magic to try to get it away. But it jumped on me. I tried getting loose. But I couldn't. I thought I was gone for sure. But the monster fell dead right next to me. I had my eyes closed. And heard a gunshot. And when I finally opened my eyes..it was Vincent. He had saved me. I smiled at Vincent. "Thank you.."

Vincent looked away.He wasn't used to such kindness. Especially from someone as beautiful as Aerith. He simply nodded.

"Just be careful next time. " He walked off. He seemed to be in a hurry. I sighed. And walked back home. My mother jumped on me. Hugging me. Not letting me go. I smiled at her. "Its ok I'm just fine."

I heard more gunshots outside. I quickly ran outside. To see but another monster with chains. It was Vincent in his Galient beast limit break. I walked even closer. He looked at me and growled. "Vincent?" I asked walking even closer. He stepped back slowly.

He looked like he was going to atack me. He expected for me to run off scared. "Vincent is that you?" I asked once more. He ran off. I chased after him, but more monsters appeared before me. I tried using my magic once more. I used the Bolt magic to try atacking more of them apeared.

And the Galient beast came back and swiped them away. He stood there. And I walked even closer. I somehow felt that it was Vincent. My Curiosity grew even bigger. He was about to run. "Wait! Please stay." I walked around him now.

Examining him. I looked up into his eyes. No he didn't scare me. It was still the same old Vincent."Vincent...it is you..." I smiled at him sweetly.

He expected her to run, But she didn't. Why was she so sweet to him? He didn't understand. Tifa took one look at him and she would be scared. But Aerith wasn't scared of him. He turned back into his human form. And glanced down at Aerith.

"Why dont you run away?"

"Because...I'm not scared."

"But you should be."

"Why?"

"Im not human." He answered. Just as simple as that. "Dilly dally Shily shally" I turned my head.

He looked at me. Raising his eyebrow at me. "Vincent...why don't you forgive yourself? " I asked kicking a rock down .

"I let the woman I care about the most...suffer..." I rolled my eyes. "So?" Vincent shot a glare at me. But I didn't care.

"Vincent..it wasn't your fault. Stop blaming yourself..." I smiled. He looked away from me. His black hair covering his pale delicate face. Only his firey amber eyes staring down to the ground.

"You are alike...you know..." I whispered softly. Smiling. A sweet gentle expression crossing my face.

"You're just like him..."

Vincent looked up at me. In question. "Oh nothing! Its a secret" I smiled and winked at him.Vincent felt himself blush. He never did. Unless he was around Lucrecia. But why was she making him feel this way? He didn't know.

I giggled at Vincent. Seeing his red blush. It was visible on his delicate pale cheeks. I dont know. Something about Vincent...atracted me to him. I wondered why. Mabey it was because he resembled Cloud so much. It hurt me. I tried hiding the pain away from my face. I knew I did the right thing by letting him go. I knew he belonged with Tifa not me.

"You can't let him go can you?"

"No I can't...but...I want to try and heal my wounds." I kicked another rock.

"Hey Vincent. Lets make a promise. How bout we let go of our pasts. And think about the future. Lets try and heal our wounds..."

Vincent nodded. "Mine aren't wounds. They're sins."

"Well then..try and forgive your sins. I know you can." I replied. "Because...I would forgive you too." I trailed off.

"Just like Cloud forgave himself ..you should try too..."
