Chapter 5: Where the hell am I?

Reeve didn't like the building that he had been placed in. It was dark and he struggled to see his own hand out in front of him. He could hear the dripping noise coming from somewhere in the dark, it was driving him insane. What could possibly be making that irritating noise? He could hear the squeaking of some mice, well he hoped it was mice rather than rats. Reeve stretched as much as the chains that tied him allowed, he suddenly noticed he was not the only one that moved. There was another set of chains moving, somewhere to the right of him. Reeve wasn't quite sure if he wanted to know just who else was in there with him; he hoped it was just one of his two captors just playing tricks on his mind. What ever was making that noise suddenly grunted, as though trying to use a voice which they hadn't used for over many years. Reeve tried to move himself as far away from this creature, he hoped that they would take the hint and let him be. Suddenly the door to the left opened allowing Reeve to see just what was to the right of him. His jaw dropped, it was impossible to be who was next to him. Reeve was sure he'd let out some sort of cry, but he couldn't really be sure. He passed only minutes later.

Yuffie stood surrounded by her old friends, the ones that she'd tried to forget for the last few years, and had failed horribly. Yuffie sighed and closed her eyes taking in the morning air, and wishing her problems could be easily solved. It had all begun with the meeting with of Vincent again, it had brought back all the memories and pain that she had been through. But in a way it had also brought back all the memories of the good times and of Aeris. Although Yuffie and Aeris had never been what a person could call close friends, Yuffie had looked up to the woman that had tried to save them all by sacrificing herself.

Yuffie was grateful, although she hated to admit it to herself, that Vincent had found her. Otherwise Cloud would have always been taking the blame for her leaving, she would have never stayed away if she had of known that. Cloud was attempting to tell the group what the doctors had told him. None of them knew what had happened exactly, nor where the explosion had come from. Yuffie was zoning in and out yet she got the idea of what Cloud had been saying. Cloud was guessing that who ever had taken Reeve had seen their gathering as an opportunity to do away with all of them. What none of them seemed to understand was that Vincent was the only person that was attacked. The attack even its self was off centred, apparently the weapon (unknown as to what it caused) didn't hit Vincent correctly and didn't kill him like it was meant too. Yuffie was worried about that. After everything they had all been through, all the battles, surviving away being so close to death. Yuffie couldn't imagine Vincent dying in a hospital bed, when he had been fine that day. Yuffie wouldn't know just what to do, it would be like a Aeris thing all over again. Except there was no lunatic with a huge sword, nor was Vincent praying, or innocent looking. He also wasn't stabbed, so although they were almost completely different they were sort of the same. Yuffie sighed. She was confusing herself; something that Cid had always said was too easy.

"Yuffie" Cloud asked as he looked over at her, with a hint of concern towards her. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah…" Yuffie said trying to hide just how worried she was "I'm fine. I'm sure Vincent will wake up soon. He's completely different compared to the rest of us, he'll be fine" Yuffie smiled trying to remind the others that his humanity was comprised. Yuffie tried to ignore the voice in her head saying: Yes but they didn't aim for anyone else but Vincent did they? "I'm going to go see how Vincent is" Yuffie told them all walking off towards Red XIII grandfather's house were Vincent was.

Somewhere in Midgar sewers…(Galian Beast)

A man was laying in the middle of the sewers in what seemed to be a peaceful sleep, which was odd when you thought about the stench around him. He opened his bright purple eyes, and stretched out much like a lazy dog. He sat up suddenly wondering how the hell he had managed to get himself here. Then he noticed that he was alone, finally after over 30 years he was actually alone with any others. He smirked this would so much more fun than being able to control his own body. The first thing he had to do was get out of this sewer, and then it would probably be a good idea if he had a shower. Cause he did sort of sink at the moment, and well he could be smelling foul for the ladies could he now? He smirked oh how he had missed the female population, now he would be back on the streets. He stopped smiling at the memory of Vincent's last comment about his attractions to the female population; 'You sound like a female rapist the way you talk. You must have all the ladies all over you.' He grunted what would that vampiric man know anyway he spent how many years in a coffin? Yet he manages to lecture me.

Yuffie looked down at the man who had his black hair standing out from the white hospital colours. He looked strange, he was the man that never had to sleep, but now he would not wake up. Yuffie thought back to all those times when he had taken her shifts because she had managed to fall asleep on them. She'd been so angry when she'd found out what he had done, he never really understood how it was a problem. And truthfully neither did Yuffie. She sat down in the chair next to Vincent, this shot should have missed him. It was meant to, it was going to hit her, but he had stopped it. This is was all her fault. She should have just gone back home.

Somewhere in the North Corel… (Death Gigas)

At first there was no feeling, nothing but then slowly the cold began to freeze his body. When was the last time this body had been able to feel cold. Sitting up long black hair fell in front of the demon's eyes, surprising. The demon looked down at the form, shocked to be back in it. It had been over a thousand or so years. The demon could smell humans nearby and could fill their body over coming with blood lust. The demon sighed realising that they were not over their own urges given by Hojo. The demon smirked this was going to be some amazing fun, and there was no Vincent to hold them back.

Yuffie looked at Vincent, he had saved her life even when she had said over and over again that she had hated this man. What sort of person would do something like that? When they were the ones that had hurt that person to so much extent in the first place… Could it be that Vincent actually regretted saying that…? No that couldn't be it he just regretted hurting her feelings. Vincent was like that, he always thought of other people instead of himself. She picked up his hand and held it as though hoping that physical contact might just help wake him up.

"Vincent" Yuffie started. "…Vinnie please wake up, I don't want you to die. You need to wake up so I can tell you I'm sorry and that I don't really hate you" Vincent stirred slightly

Somewhere in Wutai… (Hellmasker)

A tall young man sat on the hand of the massive statues that looked down upon the village of Wutai. He had always liked Wutai even as a child, but it had changed since he had last saw it. He sighed such a pity, who was responsible for this mess, he remembered Yuffie talking vaguely about restoring Wutai. He didn't remember it ever being this bad, perhaps something had happened in the last few years. He shrugged and looked across at the burning buildings, fire had always interested him. Maybe he should help them put the fire out, or make it worse. So many choices, so much time. He looked at the humans running around, they thought there was no time. Well for him there was always time. Perhaps I may help, but which side…

Yuffie noticed him moving slightly and smiled, Cid owned her 30 gil Vincent was not brain dead. Tifa still couldn't believe that they had made that bet. Tifa was still the mother of the group and Yuffie was still the brat of the group, just now an older one.

"Vincent… That was so not funny don't ever do that ever again, your meant to be in immortal one of us, that's not going to help our moral if the first time we he hold a meeting the immortal one dies, is it?" Yuffie said automatically trying to hide the fact that she had been worried even if it was only slightly. She dropped Vincent's hand, Vincent's red eyes suddenly snapped open and he sat up in his bed. Yuffie tried to ignore the fact that Vincent was know showing his bare chest

"No…that's impossible" Vincent cried

Kale looked across at Mya, she was a fool. She was meant to know better than to hit him when he was loading up a weapon in a mission.

"Kale…it was an accident…I didn't mean to, I just got emotional. I know I'm not meant to but I just did" Mya tried to explain. Kale was furious and was pacing just outside the area that Reeve was being held captive. Kale's normally pale skin was tinted with the red on the sides of his cheeks; his eyes were narrowed dangerously in Mya's direction. Mya stood there fidgeting with her wrist a nervous habit that she had picked up.

"Because of you the whole entire mission could be in jeopardy, we are not sure that the weapon even worked now" Kale said turning to face the already timid Mya. Kale was ignoring the fact that it was very out of her personality to allow him to yell at her, or even look at her the way he was.

"Well if somebody would actually talk to me! Look at me! And treat me like a human being! I wouldn't have had a reason to kick you, and this never would have happened!" Mya yelled refusing to allow Kale to stay off this topic anymore.

"I don't want to talk about this! How many times do I have to tell you this, its over and I don't care about you anymore" Kale yelled at her. Mya looked at Kale for a second in shock, then that shock turned to anger

"Well guess what? I do want to talk about it! I'm not stupid either your just lying to yourself, and to me" Mya yelled

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!" Mya cried and pulled on his collar down to her lips. Kale froze unable to move at first, and yet slowly relaxing and slowly returning her actions. He suddenly pushed Mya away; they couldn't go through this all over again. He wouldn't let her, they both looked at each other. Kale straightened up and walked away.

"I'm checking on the captive" he told her, refusing now to even look at her.

"I was right though, not even bother denying it now"

"I may have stretched the truth" Kale told her and left leaving Mya happier than she had in days, and with a smirk clearly imprinted on her face.

Somewhere in the Temple of the Ancients… (Chaos)

The creature tilted its head in confusion at this interesting development and lowed the purple wings on its back. This is indeed different, all this time they had never been separated in this manor of speaking. The creature although knew that this was not the end, they were not separated for no reason. They were all in danger, and knowing the others they would not be quite. They had all waited years for this chance they would not let go of such a thing, nor would they ever submit to Vincent's order's ever again. The creature sighed knowing their luck they would be placed all over the world making its job harder. 'Better start looking' the creature thought spreading its wings and flying off. Hoping against hope that they were not still partly connected, because if they were then if was hurt so were the other four. That would make the enemies' job really easy as well.

"Well that's little ignorant isn't it? Saying that it's impossible that you'll die" Yuffie huffed at Vincent not understanding just how worried they had been.

"No not that it's the demons, inside my mind" Vincent said trying to concentrate in his own mind. Yuffie wondered if perhaps she had lost that bet with Cid after all. "Their…"

"What about them?" Yuffie asked.

"Their gone" Vincent said
