Constructive criticism only, please. ^^ Other warnings to come, I'm sure! By the way, the characters are gonna be OOC. Ah, just so you all know, this is going to be done completely in Vincent's head. So, if things seem to jump around, that's because I'm doing this in…Oh hell, what was that term? At any rate, I'm doing this like how thoughts are in our heads. They jump around. A lot. Especially in my case. ^^;; TIFA BASHING!

I awoke to being cradled on someone's lap, a rocking motion moving my entire body. I felt extremely comfortable; enjoying the fingers running through my hair and the warmth from the arm around my waist.

Until the flash of light, that is.

I heard Sephiroth swear as he jumped, making it obvious that he was napping. I opened my eyes, having to blink slightly to remove the afterimage from the flash, to see Aerith running from where we were, giggling and holding a camera.

Not hard to figure out who took our picture.

I sat up, running a hand through my hair, surprised to find that it was not nearly as messy as I suspected. Someone must've taken a brush to it while I slept. I can see Sephiroth doing that, since he takes so much time taking care of his own hair. He must have a hair fetish, or something.

And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. After all, it's a good thing that he wants to take care of his hair. However, spending hours just brushing is a little strange, if one were to ask me. Which I notice that no one is.

"So you've woken up." Sephiroth leaned close, breathing his comment into my ear. "I'm glad to see that."

I leaned back into his chest, deciding to chase Aerith down later and destroy her Camera of Doom. As if she didn't have enough pictures from when she was writing her article about me. Though, she may've forgotten those pictures and decided to take more to show Ilfana and Father. Oh damn, I'd better get that camera before we get to the village. If Cain were to get a hold of those pictures…I'd hate to think of the humiliation he could cause for me.

"Yes, I have...And I was quite comfortable just laying on your lap, even if I was awake." I responded, tilting my head up to grin at him. He smirked back at me and wrapped his arm around my waist again, pulling me closer. I snuggle into his chest, all thoughts of retrieving the camera from Aerith pushed out of my mind.

"I'm glad to hear that." He said, running his fingers along my cheek. "How are you feeling, by the way?"

"I am feeling just fine." I answered before I thought about what he was asking. Normally, a person would be sore after the activities that took place in my room last night, and if I were a normal person, I would be. However, Chaos makes my body difficult to injure and quick to heal. "I heal rather quickly..." I murmured, hoping he wouldn't ask further. I have to figure out what to tell him about Chaos, and soon. I hate having to hide such a big part of myself from Sephiroth, but I don't want him to leave if he finds out. I'll have to talk to Aerith and Father about this over the course of the trip.

"That's good. I wouldn't want your return home to be marred by embarrassment from a telling limp." I scowled and Sephiroth laughed. "I'm joking, love. I'd carry you if you were limping." I rolled my eyes, not quite sure what to make of his teasing.

"Valentine." I sat up as I heard Professor Fran call me. "If you would, we are close to the Village and need a specific location to land."

"Of course, Professor. I'll be right there." I stand, smiling at Sephiroth as I followed the professor to the Captain's Room. Within stood Professor Cid, an old friend of Father's, and therefore someone I have a hard time calling 'Professor'.

"Hey, Vincent. Just tell me where I can set this thing down at, and you can be on your way." I nodded and walked over to peruse the on-screen map. Normally, Cid would just set down in our courtyard, however, this airship was larger than his own.

"Here. It's as close to the Village as you'll be able to get in this." I said, pointing at a spot on the map about a mile from Bone Village.

"Got it. We'll be landing shortly, so I'd suggest grabbing your stuff, kid." Cid said, waving me off.

A/N: I am very, very sorry for the wait, and for how damn short this is, but it's been giving me a ton of hell to write. I shall do my best to fix that problem, though.
