Note: I do not own any character described here!

I've been thinking about this story for two months now (since I finished playing Dirge of Cerberus!) \o/ and finely decided to writhe it. Well…yeah...I know it got too long my story…but wanted to write it anyway. Like I said it was all in my mind for two months…so I just wanted to pull it out of my system. :p

About the story…it is a continued story of ffVII first game...the advent children movie and Dirge of Cerberus…so yeah it contains some spoils.

And one more thing…I haven't played yet the of ffVII first game…I only watched the movie and played Dirge of Cerberus…so If I said any absurd thing about the story...please tell me…but remember…my story is not supposed to be a exactly replica of square's stories…so Yeah, I know I did changed a few information…

In this story, I mixed everything…drama, romance, horror, action and a bit of comedy…

There will probably be some grammar mistakes, so don't hate me for it, please, instead be helpful and tell me what is wrong, besides, like I said on my profile, English is not my original language, I just like it and want to practice it! ;)

---Chapter 7 – The Insults ---

…

It was another Friday when things around here got really serious. We had only 2 weeks to finish the papers to give them to doc Hojo so he can submit to the magazine, but…I really didn't think we could make in time. There were a lot of things we needed to improve before. And to each 2 papers, tests or exams we did, doc Hojo made us redo one of them again... he was really not helping!

I was really impressed on how Lucrecia was dealing with all that stress without exploding…she is so elegant…sometimes I felt like telling her not to try so hard... and she didn't even sleep properly anymore; eating was almost useless for her… consequently, she was fainting more often, and when it happened I used to take her to the nursery floor…yeah, they had to make a nursery floor, because apparently, they had a lot of doctors collapsing in each sector of the complex.

I was on my break, which I was taking only 10 minutes of them now, since I didn't wanted her to collapse on the office with no one around to help her. I used to bring her food and tea (I have totally forbidden her from drinking that coffee poisoning) for her break time, but she barely touched them, always working like crazy.

So I was coming back to the office, when I turned inside the hallway after passing by Irene… I saw the door opened, and as I was getting closer I could hear doctor's Hojo voice clearly saying:

-This is unacceptable!!! Not only is my name going down with this, as Shinra's name is… as your name as well, doctor Crescent! –I always hated the way he says her name! -… I don't think you know how much important to the world this is…it won't be only my head that will roll around here…because I'm taking yours too…- he made a pause and continued saying -… I used to be proud of you, because you were always punctual… -because of that??? He really doesn't deserve her! She was always giving her best, trying everything she could do to please him, and he only talks about her punctuality? –…no matter what I asked for you to do, you always did on time…you know what I think this is about??? Do you know?? –I couldn't hear her answer – I think it is because of that kid…you have been spending too much time with him, letting him distract you... I know he is young... he is cute, and you are lonely and needy for sex…those young trivialities things that he reminds you… and you feel seduced by him, don't you? Stop acting like a whore!!! You need to see your priorities here, this is not a playground!! You will have enough time to fuck with him when this was done, I want you to focus on this harder and finish this on time as you always did... you have been failing on me Crescent! Stop acting like a resistless little brat on him, stop depending on him! -wow… unbelievable! He just went so far... I was about to interfere, but then she started to talk.

–Do not talk about him like that, you know nothing about him… you should be kissing his ass, because without him THIS wouldn't happen.

-Hunf….I knew it was a mistake to choose Valentine's soon to be your assistant… I just thought he could have the same intelligence as his father had… -what the hell?? he knew my father?? Did my father used to work here for Shinra?? What is going on? Did Lucrecia knew about it? -… Watch you tone with me Crescent! And THIS would have happened sooner or later...eventually…don't get too enchanted with this boy… he is not all that. And soon as these papers are done I'm kicking him out of here. Now get back to work!

Suddenly he left the room and saw me standing out side the door. I have put my darkest expression on my face to see him. I was so angry that I was cracking my teeth, and had my wrists closed so tight that I was hurting myself. I was really holding my arm to not go punch that pathetic ugly face of his. Because that is what I wanted the most...broke that nose and teeth. He only gave me a glare with superiority and passed by without saying anything. Soon as I recompose myself, I entered the room.

She was devastated. She was sitting on the floor trying with no results to stock her tears. I put myself on my knees and took out of my pocket a tissue and offered her. She accepted it without looking at me.

-He is a jerk. –that was all I could whisper...I really wanted to take her in my arms and take her far away from here.

-You...heard it all didn't you? –I could barely hear her.

-...yes.

-I'm so sorry.

-Don't worry about me...I don't care about him...I'm just...worried about you. –I helped her stand, and once she was on her feet, she went straight to her computer. Seeing that scene was really horrifying for my eyes. She really intended to continue working today.

I shut her computer screen and grabbed her arms and made her stand.

-What are you doing Vincent? I have to finish this!

-No you don't! –I replied putting her bag on her shoulders. She wanted to fight against me but she suddenly blacked out. "Well, that is easier." So I took her in my arms carefully passing by Irene and said to her:

-I'm taking her to the nursery.

-U-hum. –everyone around was already used to see her collapsing, even the elevator guy, so it was pretty easy.

When we got at the nursery floor, instead of getting inside, I took the advantage that there was no one looking, and leave through the stairs.

There were 20 more floors of stairs until I could get to the garage, which I had to go down. Good thing she was lighter then she looks, because I wasn't that strong either.

At the garage, when I reached my car, I opened the back door and laid her there. Then I got inside and ran as fast as I could. There was no way I would let her stay in that torture complex any longer…so instead, I had an idea.
