Author's note

Alright guys, I've got a small update for you. And I have to apologize to you all! I can't believe it's been over a year since I've last posted. Life's been extremely busy, and I could've at least put up an author's note :(

Hopefully I'll be able to make some time, even to fix this chappie up a little... I'll update more frequently! PROMISE!! (hopefully)

Thanks for sticking with me though!

Chapter 6

Vincent sighed as he walked through the streets of Rocket Town. He had a lot on his mind, and needed a little time to himself. I probably should have let the others know where I went… I need to get back to Yuffie… He stopped as he heard two people walking down the street talking.

"What do you think about that Kisaragi girl?"

"Dunno, she sounds like a whore. I heard she was dangerous"

"Ya, and she's probably hiding with AVALANCHE…wait…doesn't one of the members reside in Rocket Town?"

"Oh my God! Let's get outta here!"

The couple ran off laughing as Vincent came to a sudden realization.

If we're all together, then someone will eventually find out that Yuffie is with us…

As soon as he thought that, Vincent ran back towards Cid and Shera's place. He practically fell through the door as he opened it to collect Yuffie. Vincent scanned the room and saw Shera and Tifa cleaning the table off. Cid, Cloud, Nanaki, and Barret were sitting around talking, but Yuffie was missing from the picture.

"WHERE IS SHE!?" Vincent shouted as he slammed the door behind himself.

Instead of a reply, he was greeted by six angry glares. He ignored them and continued, "Well? I need to see Yuffie right now."

Cloud merely pointed towards the stairs as Tifa slapped Vincent on the arm. "Where have you been? Yuffie's upstairs cry…" She was cut off by Vincent.

"Yuffie's in danger. I'm taking her with me to Midgar."

The room was filled with silence. Cid was the first to speak.

"Like hell you are, we need to fucking sit down and talk about this!"

Nanaki joined in, "Yes, you mustn't worry about her on your own. Give us some time to come up with a rational plan."

Vincent spat "YOU can rationalize, I'll take her with me. And I want one of you to try and stop me…you will regret it…"

With that, he went up the stairs to get Yuffie. The group stared towards the stairs as Cid said, "Well that's the most fucking angry I've ever seen him." The rest of the gang nodded in agreement.

Yuffie sat crying on her bed, hugging a pillow. Why me? She thought as she sobbed. Why does he hate me? I'm so fucking confused… Yuffie giggled at that last thought. I need to stop hanging around Cid. "But seriously," She continued to talk to herself, not noticing the door open, "I can't believe I've fallen head over heels for a total BASTARD! UMPH!!" She screamed into the pillow.

"Yuffie, I surely hope…" Vincent was cut off by a pillow to the face.

"How DARE YOU!" Yuffie screamed at him. "You get all lovey dovey with me one second, and you stand me up the next… I… can't…AARGH!" Yuffie screamed again as she threw another pillow at Vincent.

"I'm sorry Yuffie, I needed some time to think about things…" Vincent trailed off in thought as he looked towards the window in her room.

"Vinnie?" Yuffie's voice brought him back to her attention.

"I'm sorry, it's just… we need to leave…" He sat down next to her. "…now."

"Yuffie stayed uncharacteristically calm, "Where will we go?"

"……" Vincent replied, "…Nebelheim."

"That's not very secret, Vinnie. As a matter of fact, if it was me, I'd look there first." The ninja answered.

"…..pack." Vincent sighed, and left the room.

"Arrgh! He didn't even tell me how he felt... JERK!" Yuffie screamed as she through a pillow towards the door.
