Me: You know… BTW! Major fluff in this chapter!

Vincent: Great…

Me: DO it Yuffie!

Yuffie: Yeah… he owns purple mountains, but not FFVII, characters, etc…

Chapter 7: Christmas Day

Yuffie was awoken by a high-pitched squeal from the next room at around six in the morning.

"MARLENE!" Barrett rumbled, "We're still trying to sleep!"

"Daddy! It's Christmas!"

By now the entire house was awake, so going back to sleep was pointless. Yuffie looked outside and found that it was still somewhat dark, so she went downstairs and lit the fireplace.

"Come on everyone!" She called upstairs, "We've got presents to open!"

Cait was the first one down the stairs, jumping and landing on top of Yuffie's head. Then came Cid, who already had a cigarette in his mouth, after him was Shera wrapped in a pink fluffy bathrobe. Red came slowly down the steps, his eyes half open. After that Cloud came down, fully dressed with Tifa right behind him, lastly, Barret came with Marlene sitting on his shoulders, a wide smile on her face.

"All right!" She said, spinning around and pumping her fist in the air, "Lets get to it!"

Everyone smiled and started handing out presents, Barrett grabbed the one from him to Marlene and gave it to her, and watched her rapidly rip the paper off.

"Here's one for you Yuffie, from me," Shera said, handing Yuffie a small box. Yuffie opened it, to find a case with four different kinds of materia, she smiled and nodded her thanks to Shera, who was opening another present from Cid.

Eventually, time wore on and the pile of presents got smaller and smaller, until there was only one left for Yuffie, it was in a small red bag, and it had a card taped to it.

Everyone watched as she grabbed the gift they all knew was from Vincent, and opened the card. Inside it read:

Yuffie,

I'm sorry I left, but I could not bear to know that the sight of me was causing you pain. You mean far too much for me to allow myself to do that to you.

Yuffie, I love you, if you don't accept that then there's nothing I can do. I just wanted to let you know that, even if you don't feel the same way.

I wont be returning, I've caused you all too much pain.

Vincent Valentine

Yuffie sat there, stunned. She reached over and looked into the bag, and found a small teddy bear, holding a heart that said 'I love you' but on top of the heart, there was a ring. It had a blue sapphire, the same color of Yuffie's eyes, on the inside of the ring there were the words 'I love you,'.

"Yuffie?" Tifa said quietly, Yuffie looked up at her, her eyes looking lost.

Yuffie got up silently, and walked upstairs, the only sound in the room was the sound of Marlene playing with her new toys, and the crackling of the fire. After a half an hour, Shera started to get worried.

"Should we send someone up there?"

Cid looked down, "I'll go, poor kid." He got up, and walked up the stairs. When he got to Yuffie's room, he knocked loudly. "Kid, you in there?" There was no answer. Cid opened the door, what he found was the window open, and a small pile of snow at the window. On her bed was a note.

Hey guys,

I left to go find Vincent, don't wait for me on anything. See you guys later!

Yuffie

P.S. Cid, I borrowed the escape jet outta the Lady Falcon, sorry.

"GODDAMN THAT STUPID KID!" Cid roared.

Everyone came running upstairs, "What is it sweetie?" Shera asked.

Cid glared at her and everyone else, "Get on the &$#& ship, we're going to Nibelheim."

Meanwhile, on the Lady Falcon escape jet…

"I shouldn't have done this…" Yuffie muttered as she fought down another wave of sickness. "How can he like flying so much?"

Eventually, Yuffie got over the mountains and could see Nibelheim. As she got closer she managed a very haphazard landing outside, not even bothering for the small jet to finish rolling on the grass, she jumped out of the cockpit and ran towards Nibelheim. Upon entering the town, she headed straight for the mansion, where she noticed Vincent's car was still parked there. Kicking the door open, she began running around the house looking for Vincent.

"Vinnie?" she called out, then smacked her forehead.

Of course he's downstairs!

Yuffie ran to where the secret door was, only to find it open.

"Vinnie?" She called down the stairs, but no reply came back.

Walking down the steps, she felt a shiver go up her spine. She didn't know if it was the cold or just nerves, but she almost felt excited.

I finally get to tell him… she thought, but then she shook her head, she had to find him first.

She looked in the lab, but there was no sign of him there, eventually she leaned against a door that was set into the wall about halfway down the hall between the stairs and the lab.

"Where are you Vinnie?"

---

"Where are you Vinnie?" That sound pierced Vincent's mind.

Vinnie… he thought vaguely.

She's here Why?

She wants you

Why? Because she loves you, and you love her

"Vinnie?" Yuffie's voice was suddenly a lot closer, only muffled by the lid of the coffin. Eventually even that creaked open and Vincent cracked an eye open to see one of Yuffie's sapphire blue staring back.

"Vinnie…" Yuffie breathed, a smile almost forming on her face.

Vincent pushed the lid all the way off, and sat up.

"Why are you here?" He asked, staring at her.

"I came to see you," she said, a smile now on her face.

"I told you not to… I didn't want you to." He said quietly.

"Vinnie… I wanted to tell you… I love you too," Yuffie said, trying to sit closer to him.

These words shocked Vincent, so much that his breath caught in his throat.

"Yuffie… I can't let you, I can't let you do that."

Yuffie's smile disappeared, and her brow furrowed, "What?"

"I can't let you waste your life on me,"

This time Yuffie's breath caught in her throat, "No Vincent!"

"Yuffie, leave, you have nothing here to spend your Christmas on."

SLAP!

Yuffie's hand stung from the impact onto Vincent's cheek, but the red hand mark against his pale skin and the wide-eyed look on his face showed that he was hurting a lot more.

"I love you dammit!" Yuffie said, tears springing to her eyes, "I love you more than you know! I have everything here that I'd ever need! You're just too stubborn to realize when you have something good! Dammit Vincent!"

Vincent could only sit there in shock, blinking rapidly as Yuffie's words hit home. When Vincent said nothing Yuffie sobbed and got up, running out of the house as fast as she could, then ran out of Nibelheim and back onto the jet. On her way back, she could have sworn she saw the real Lady Falcon in the distance, but she was too angry to really care.

In fact she did see the real Lady Falcon, but they never noticed her. When they touched down outside of Nibelheim, Tifa jumped out, followed by Cid, Shera, Cloud, Barrett, then Red with Cait sitting on top of him. Together they rushed through Nibelheim, and back into the mansion. Running down the stairs, Tifa started yelling for Yuffie and Vincent.

"Yuffie! Vincent!" These words again pierced Vincent's mind.

Who is it now? Vincent demanded mentally.

BANG! "&$# door! Still doesn't open properly!"

Vincent lifted the lid of his coffin, and sat up. In front of him stood his friends, all looking at him.

"Yes?" He asked, irritated that he had been disturbed again for the second time in one day.

"Where's Yuffie?" Tifa asked, "Did she come here?"

Vincent nodded.

"Where'd she go?"

"She left, I told her to leave."

"Why?"

"Because I have sins to repent for." With that, Vincent closed the lid on the coffin.

After that, everyone filed out, boarded the airship, and headed back home. When they arrived back at the bar, Tifa went upstairs to find Yuffie asleep on her bed, dampness on the pillow showed that she had cried herself to sleep.

Everyone else went back downstairs, the fire had died so Cloud started it again, then Tifa made some hot chocolate, and they all sat around, trying to be happy for Marlene.

Eventually, time passed and the sun went down, Cloud went outside with Cid to put the escape jet back into the airship, and load up Cloud's bike so the weather wouldn't tear it to pieces. When they came back in they were covered with snow, and shivering. Tifa looked outside, then hurriedly started locking doors.

Shera stood up, "What's wrong?"

"There's a blizzard outside, we're probably going to get snowed in tonight."

Everyone nodded, then started trying to heat the bar so that it wouldn't be too cold in the morning. Eventually, they all went to bed, leaving only Cloud and Tifa downstairs.

"What a Christmas," Tifa said with a sigh, as they swept.

"Yeah," Cloud said, "Too bad it's still not over."

Tifa smiled, and gave a small laugh, "Lets call it a night," she said, the smile still on her face.

"Let's," Cloud replied, picking her up, Cloud carried her up the stairs and to their bedroom.

A few hours later…

Yuffie woke up shivering, her window hadn't been closed all the way and it was freezing in her room. Getting up quickly, she closed it, and grabbed a blanket and went downstairs to lie in front of the fire. Unfortunately there were only a few embers so Yuffie threw some logs on and started it with a fire materia. Once the flames were dancing merrily, Yuffie sighed and lay down.

"Oh Vinnie, why did you do that?" She whispered to herself, watching the flames burn in the fireplace.

Suddenly, a loud thumping came at the door.

"Who's up at this hour?" She voiced aloud, getting up, she walked over to the door and opened it a crack, "Who is it?"

"Vincent." Came a hoarse reply, Yuffie gasped, and opened the door. Vincent stood there in knee-deep snow, soaked to the bone.

"Vincent! What happened!?"

"I came to see you," Vincent said, his voice still hoarse, "I didn't want to end your Christmas this way. You didn't deserve that."

"How did you get here? The ferry's closed, and you don't have a plane. You didn't swim did you?"

Vincent chuckled and shook his head no, "I managed to get a boat from the docks, I made it about three quarters of the way here, before it capsized, then I had to swim."

"God Vincent! You must be freezing!" Yuffie pulled him inside and sat him in front of the fire.

"Let's get these wet clothes off of you."

"No I don't want you to se-" Vincent started to say, but Yuffie cut him off.

"I'm not going to let you die, I'm not going to lose you Vinnie." After Vincent got his red cape off, along with his shirt, Yuffie wanted him to change out of his pants, but he refused. Yuffie wrapped him in a blanket and ran upstairs to see if she could find some clothes for him. Unfortunately she came back downstairs empty handed.

"Sorry Vinnie… I couldn't exactly sneak into Cloud's room, and the only thing I had was a silk nightie, and I'm sure you didn't want to wear that."

Vincent shook his head no, "I'm fine," he said, then fell into a coughing fit.

"Liar," Yuffie grabbed another blanket and wrapped him in it, then hugged him tightly. "Why'd you come back Vinnie?"

Vincent coughed, "I love you Yuffie, and you were right, I was just being stubborn, stuck in my own self pity, I didn't realize how lucky I was to have you. I just hope it's not too late for that."

Yuffie smiled, and she pulled Vincent's blankets apart and crawled into his lap, then wrapped the blankets around them both. Vincent wrapped his arm around her bare stomach, as she was only in her ninja clothes. "Vinnie, it never would have been too late."

Vincent smiled, and it seemed almost strange to Yuffie. Seeing Vincent without the red collar hiding half his face, allowing her to see his sharp jaw line, and add his smile to that, made Yuffie blush.

"What's wrong?" Vincent asked, noticing her cheeks turning red.

"Nothing," she said, smiling, "I'm just so happy I'm finally with you."

Vincent gave a small smile, then quickly let it disappear, obviously he wasn't used to it.

Yuffie slowly leaned in, and whispered, "I love you Vincent Valentine,"

"I love you too Yuffie," he whispered back, he then placed his claw around her waist as well. She didn't even seem to notice. Pulling her closer, Vincent started leaning his head towards her. Yuffie wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in as well. Yuffie started slightly when their lips met, as it was only a hesitant touch on either part. Eventually they got past getting used to each other, and they pressed harder. Yuffie could feel waves of heat running down her body, and herself falling forward against Vincent.

Vincent fell backwards, so that Yuffie was lying on top of him. She pulled back and broke the kiss, staring at him softly. Vincent leaned up and kissed her again, softly running his hand up and down her back, Yuffie shuddered slightly, and Vincent broke the kiss, looking at her worriedly.

"I'm fine," she whispered, then leaned down and kissed him, pressing hard against his lips, making the kiss deeper and more passionate. Vincent opened his mouth and ran his tongue along her lips, Yuffie smiled inwardly, and opened her mouth. Vincent's tongue slid in, and began wrestling with hers, Yuffie almost lost herself, until she felt something pressing against her leg, and she yelped.

She looked down at Vincent, whose face was beet red, and his eyes were wide as quarters. Yuffie giggled. Vincent only turned redder. Yuffie smiled at him, and kissed him softly on the lips, before she reached down and ran her fingers along it.

This time it was Vincent's turn to jump, as the unexpected touch surprised him. Vincent smiled and removed her hand, and rolled over, so she was laying next to him. Reaching up, he slowly removed the headband she always wore, and let her hair fall out. Yuffie smiled and kissed him, then slid his hand to her back, where her top zipped up. Almost instinctively, Vincent pulled the zipper down, and pulled her top over her head. Yuffie blushed a deep red, and covered her breasts with her arm. Vincent smiled and pulled her close. After kissing her softly, he moved her arm away, and massaged her breasts with his hand. Yuffie almost immediately reacted, by closing her eyes and breathing harder. When Vincent leaned down, and licked one of her soft puffy nipples Yuffie gasped. As Vincent continued to lick and suck on her breasts, Yuffie's moans started to become louder and more frequent, and she clutched at the blankets as she felt herself getting wet.

Vincent seemed to be able to feel this as well, for he stopped sucking on her breasts, and unzipped her shorts. Yuffie lay there gasping with a smile on her face. Vincent slowly slid them down, to find a small black lace thong.

Never took her for the type

Chaos, please, I'd rather not have you watch this.

Chaos never said another word, Vincent didn't know if he actually did leave, or if he was just silent.

Yuffie smiled at Vincent as she pulled her thong off. She reached down, and undid Vincent's pants, and pulled them off, she was going to go for his boxers, but he pushed her back, and reached his hand down in-between her legs. Yuffie moaned as Vincent's fingers brushed against her clit, and then slid inside her. Yuffie arched her back as Vincent slowly rubbed his fingers inside of her.

"Oh… Vinnie…" Yuffie whispered, as waves of pleasure racked her body, Vincent stopped rubbing inside her and began to slowly slide his fingers inside her and out, rubbing her clit with his thumb as he did so. Yuffie tossed her head side to side, and she rubbed her breast as she did so, clutching at the blankets they were laying on, and under. It wasn't until Yuffie moaned rather loudly did Vincent stop. He slid his moisture covered fingers out, and traced a trail of moisture back up to her mouth, where she smiled and licked it off his fingers.

Vincent smiled back as Yuffie reached down and slid his boxers off. She rolled onto her back, and gave him an inviting look. Vincent climbed on top of her, and she spread her legs. With a nod from her, Vincent slid inside her, with brought about a high-pitched gasp from Yuffie, who reached up and clung to Vincent's back. Vincent pulled out slowly, and then pushed back in, meriting another gasp and a moan from Yuffie.

"Oh god Vinnie…" Yuffie breathed as Vincent softly thrust inside her and out. Vincent smiled as she began pushing herself against him, making his thrusts harder and more frequent. The more this went on, the louder Yuffie's moans became, and the more violent her pushing against him became.

Vincent himself was sweating, not even thinking about it anymore, just feeling the inside of Yuffie and her body before him. Vincent felt himself building up, and it felt like Yuffie was too.

Yuffie spread her legs a little wider as she felt her orgasm starting to build up, and she lifted her knees as Vincent began thrusting even harder inside her.

"Vinnie!" She gasped as her orgasm started to hit, her back arched and one hand reflexively rubbing her breast while the other worried her aching clit. Vincent didn't stop however, until he had his own orgasm, and Yuffie felt his juices inside of her.

Eventually, the two's breathing slowed down, and Vincent looked at Yuffie, who smiled back.

"Merry Christmas love," Yuffie said.

"Merry Christmas," Vincent replied. Lying down, he pulled the blanket over himself and Yuffie, and waited morning.
