Yuffie had skipped lunch, because she didn't want to talk to Vincent, and was looking for a ride home. Tifa had basketball and so did Cloud, Cid, Barret and Zack. Aeris had cheer leading, Reeve and Red had to work, Shalua was sick, and there was no way she was going to ask Shelke for a ride, so Reno was her only option. She text him, 'Reno I need a ride home Can you take me?'

Surprisingly, he text her right back, 'No babe. Rude, Tseng, Elena and I have plans'

Shit, she thought. I'll just think of something after school…

After school

"Shit. Why did I wait until now to look for a ride!? Maybe I'll walk home? No that's twenty miles. Why do I have to live so far away? Oh yeah, because we had to live in a fucking mansion Dammit! My dad isn't even home most of the time... well Fuck."

She was talking to herself now and people were staring. Well maybe I'll go say bye to Reno, I got nothing better to do, she thought.

When she headed out to Reno's car, she couldn't believe her eyes. He was making out with another girl!

"Reno, who is this you're making out with!?" she cried, the tears beginning to fall down her cheeks.

"Baby, it's not what it looks like," he tried, acting like it was nothing new. After all, this wasn't the first time he'd been caught.

"Don't even give me that shit, Reno! How many girls have you been with!? Five, ten, fifteen!? You know what!? I don't even care anymore. Vincent was right about you!"

She started to walk away, with one backwards glance, she said, "Oh and by the way, we're through!"

Yuffie sat on the stairs in front of school crying, when she called Vincent to apologize.

"Your message has been-" she hung up before it could finish. She didn't want to leave him a message she wanted to talk to HIM, so she waited for him to call back.

"Do you need a ride home?" Yuffie turned around to see the guy that sat next to her in her history class. His name was Sephiroth, she never talked to him but hey, if he was giving a ride home she was gonna take it.

"Yes, would you mind?"

"No not at all. You're Yuffie right?"

"Yeah. Your Sephiroth right."

"Yes, just tell me where you live and I'll take you there."

The car ride to Yuffie's house was uncomfortably silent until Sephiroth spoke up.

"So, are your parent's home?"

"Well my mom is dead and my dad is almost always at work. He's only home once every two weeks and he left just three days ago. Why do you want to know?"

"Well they'll probably ask who I am," he said in a curious tone.

"Actually, Vincent usually brings me home, but we got in a fight so I had to find someone else to take me."

"Oh, was he your boyfriend?" he asked kindly.

"No he's my best friend, well probably ex-best friend now. He probably won't forgive me. I was a jerk today," she put her head down thinking about the fight, hinting she didn't want to talk about it, so it was silent the rest of the ride home.

"Here it is. Thanks for the ride home." she said, stepping out of the car. Sephiroth also got out of the car and started to walk to the house.

"Um... what are you doing?" she felt really uncomfortable now.

"I'm making sure you get in."

"Oh."

Once she arrived in the house and noticed he wasn't going back to his car, she began to get scared.

"Um... I'm in and I'm fine, so you can go now. Thanks for taking me home."

"I have no intention of leaving," he said with an evil grin on his lips.

"Um, what do you mean by that?" she asked with wide eyes, her heart beating a lot faster than usual.

Now, he was starting to back her into the wall.

"I saw your fight with Vincent and the one with Reno. You're troubled. Let me fix that…"

Once he said that, she really wished she would have listened to Vincent on the whole Reno Scenario.

"Um, I-I'm good, I'm sure Vincent will forgive me, I mean come on, he's my best friend so he can't stay mad at me forever, and the whole Reno thing, I'm sure I'll get over that real soon."

She was rambling, which she only did when she was scared, and right now she was about to pee her pants.

"Don't be scared, I love you," he then pinned her to the wall and started kissing her. She tried to push him off but he was far too strong. Instead, she decided to sink her teeth into his lip.

"FUCK!" he yelled, pushing away and covering his mouth. She took this chance to run.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" he shouted, chasing after her.

She ran to the third floor when she tripped on a loose board. Why do I have to live in a creepy old mansion with a shit load of loose boards!? She thought desperately as she tied to get up hastily, but as soon as she staggered to her feet, he pinned her to the ground.

"Don't even think of trying that again!" he said in a demonic voice.

She knew there was no way she was getting out of this one. She was going to get raped right in her hallway. She began to cry. This was the worst day of her life, she lost her best friend, her boyfriend and now she was going to lose her virginity, what kind of day was this!?

"Please, stop!" she pleaded, wishing Vincent was here to help her. He snarled and ripped her shirt off.

"Get off her now!" his voice made her cry even harder.

She didn't know what he was doing here and she didn't really care. All she cared about right now was that he was there and she wasn't going to get raped.

"What the fuck are you doing here!?" Sephiroth was angry that Vincent was here.

"I'm here to protect Yuffie. Now leave!" Vincent said coldly.

Sephiroth charged to attack Vincent, but he pulled out a gun.

"I said leave NOW!" he yelled, pointing it between Sephiroth's eyes. He glared at the barrel, then back to Vincent. Slowly, he left without another word.

As soon as he was gone, Vincent went to comfort Yuffie who was still crying.

"It's alright, he wont bother you again," He soothed, holding her.

"Vincent, how did you know I was in trouble?" she asked between sobs.

"Well, I saw that you called and when you didn't answer, I came here to make sure everything was alright. That's when I heard a scream and you know what happened from there…"

"Wait, my phone didn't ring," she reached in her pocket to find nothing. "I lost my phone."

"Where were you? You may have dropped it."

She thought for a second, "Shit! I think I left it on the steps at school."

"Well, how about we call Cloud and ask him to pick it up after basketball?" he said, not wanting to leave her because he really didn't want to let her go.

"Yea maybe he'll get it." she said still crying.

Vincent text Cloud and asked him to bring it and Cloud said practice was gonna be over in a half hour so he said he'd bring it then. Vincent held her until she cried herself to sleep.

Yuffie looked so peaceful when she was asleep. He decided to put her in her room, which was on the second floor, so he picked her up bridle style. At first she stirred but just snuggled against his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck. Now Vincent really didn't want to let her go so he compromised; he took her to her room but refused to stop holding her in his arms.
