Yay I'm back after a couple months or so. I lost my laptop for a while there. If you don't like any of the themes below (see Warnings), then click the magical button in the corner called a back arrow! I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT FOR THE STORY AND MY BRAIN! EVERYTHING ELSE GOES TO THEIR RESPECTED OWNERS! This pulls elements from the original Final Fantasy 7 game and the movie Advent Children.

Warnings: Self-harm, Yaoi, Demons, MPreg.

"Cid will continue to hurt you. Cloud and Tifa have already abandoned you. They could care less if you stayed or left. Leave them. Go back and sleep. You don't need them. You have me."

"I don't want you!" He stood as he heard the door to the manor open. Though he doubted whoever was there heard his shout, he raced down the stone stairs to the basement. Back to his stone coffin, back to his safe haven from the outside world.

"I bet you wish you could end this torment." Chaos laughed. "I bet you wish you could die."

"You know I can't die. Hojo made sure of it." Vincent opened the door to his crypt and closed it as quietly as possible. He looked around at the bare stone tomb he'd left behind years ago. He never saw himself returning when he left, now he was glad to be home.

"Cid is just like Lucrecia. He is only using you."

When Chaos said that, the raven let out a horrendous scream, which lead Cloud's group to finding the basement once again. "Cid is nothing like Lucrecia!" He took his gauntlet hand and scratched his arm, leaving four bleeding lines in the gold wake. "He loves me, his soul proves that! Her soul proved she never cared about me. You were the one who showed me how to see a person's soul, you knew she was only using me!" His head jerked up as the door began to open, he ran to the far side of the tomb and drew his gun.

Cid entered the tomb, face to face with the firing end of Death Penalty, Vincent's favorite gun. "V-Vincent, put the gun down. I'm not going to hurt you."

"Stay back." His voice was ice and his eyes void of all emotions. No matter how hard he tried, however, Vincent could not stop the tears that threatened to fall as he spoke. "Am I really just a whore to you? Someone to stay with when it suits your needs?"

"NO!" Cid was quick to his own defense, even if just buying time until the gunman shot him. "Look, I made horrible mistakes, I shouldn't have hurt you like I did but now you're really hurt. Let Tifa heal you and please...Realize I want what is best for you. I want to try and make things work between us."

By now Tifa and Yuffie stood in the doorway behind the blonde lancer. Vincent didn't see them as he spoke, "Perhaps I'll bleed out and die finally."

Yuffie was the one who shoved Cid aside to glare at the raven. "Don't say such horrible things! Cid loves you! We all care about you, Vin."

Vincent could not hold in the laughter that bubbled from her words. "He loves me but beds anything that moves while wearing my ring. I see how much he truly cares about me."

"He made mistakes, Vin. We all do. We're human." Tifa interjected. "He really cares, he's willing to die for you to love him." She looked back out of the tomb at the small group of people waiting for news. She looked at Yuffie, who wanted to cry, and then back at Vincent. "If you won't do it for Cid, do it for Yuffie and the others. We need you, we're your friends..."

The raven, though before content to die, soon agree to allow Tifa to heal him. The other two in the room were pushed out and the door closed before Tifa made any move to heal him. "Let's start with your arm." she said the incantation for Cure and her hands glowed a soft blue green, the color of the lifestream.

"The spell will not pulse, Tifa, I have no heart beat." His voice was much softer than when he was speaking to Cid.

She nodded understanding and soon pulled away. "Now your stomach. There's some cuts and bruising there from what I can see." As Vincent unbuttoned his shirt and laid back, tears pricked her eyes. There were horrible bruises he kept hidden after the fight with Sephiroth and years of scars from Hojo's experiments. She slowly healed the wounds on his chest and made her way down to his abdomen. Her eyes grew wide as the materia glow began to pulse faintly but quickly. "V-Vincent...? Y-you have a pulse!"

The raven frowned as he sat up and watched the materia glow himself. "That's impossible. I'm dead, there is no possible way it could be doing that."

That's when it suddenly dawned on Tifa and she smiled brightly. "It's not your pulse! by the looks of the pulse, you are two or three months Pregnant!"

He paled considerably and pulled his knees to his chest as the glow faded from her hands. "I can't be. I can't do this alone, Tifa. Cid's been cheating, he is still married to Shera. How can i raise a child by myself?"

She smiled sadly and hugged him tightly. "Cid said we'd go to Rocket Town after getting you back and he'd leave Shera." She pulled away and looked him in the eye, knowing he could see that she was honest. "He really loves you. He would kill himself if that was what it took for you to love him and forgive him. He was married to Shera for years, he couldn't just walk out on her. He is sorry for everything he's done to hurt you, but you know how hard it is for him to admit when he is wrong." She laughed softly. "I'll help you tell him."

So another chapter done. Hope you guys enjoy! Review please and let me know how its going. I know it's slow right now, but it'll pick up soon. Hopefully I will get some more chapters posted tonight due to fact I'm getting my laptop taken again for a little bit.
