"Vincent," Yuffie warned weakly, "If you don't get your face out of my face, I'm going to bite you!"
"Yuffie," Vincent whispered, his lips barely parting to say her name. He leaned in closer and closer, not entirely sure what he was doing or what he planned to do. Yuffie melted in his hold, her eyes unable to look away from his parted lips. She never felt so humiliated. She turned to jello in his arms, in his crimson gaze, at the sound of her name on his smooth, deep voice.
"I'm serious, Vincent!"
Despite Yuffie's threats, Vincent did not falter. He simply continued his descent upon the young woman. However, at an inch gap, Yuffie ducked her head and bit his neck. The feel of her lips pressed as smooth as petals against his neck, the soft bite of her teeth grazing his skin, caused him to shiver and an unbounded growl, concocted some where deep below, from a place within him he'd long forgotten, rolled through his lips.
"Hihnshen?" Yuffie inquired curiously, her tongue brushing against the skin of his neck briefly. She refused to let him go since he insisted on holding her captive, but she was surprised at how fast Vincent dropped her and stormed out of her room. And how he managed to quietly shut the door ever so politely amidst his fierce exit.
Yuffie sat on the floor, staring wide eyed at her door. Had she bit him too hard? Was he angry at her? Yuffie could only feel lucky he hadn't gone Chaos on her.

In the morning, Vincent found it curious his stolen materia was lined up along the foot of his door. His actions last night, he felt, spelled defeat and yet he found success in the morning. 'Odd,' He thought, rolling one of the orbs between his fingers.

"Did you sleep well?"
Yuffie nearly dropped her small plate of toast and glass of juice. She stumbled on a few of her steps before she caught herself and whipped around to gape at her friend, "Yes! Why?" Quickly, she marched over to the last seat on one end of the bar and settled her food there. She couldn't eat peacefully though with all the worried thoughts of Tifa knowing what happened. If she did, Yuffie had just given her a months worth of material to embarrass her.
Tifa shot the ninja a confused look at Yuffie's odd behavior, "Nothing, I just heard a lot of action in your room last night."
"Yuffie!" Tifa yelped, jumping back from the spray of water shot out of Yuffie's mouth across the bar. "What's wrong with you?"
Despite having just expelled a considerable amount of water, Yuffie's mouth grew dry at the thought of 'a lot of action'. And the barrage of flashbacks from last night's event flustered her even more.
"What exactly happened last night?" Tifa interrogated, coming closer, though careful not to touch the water. She'd clean it up later knowing the culprit wouldn't do so herself. Telling from Yuffie's mortified red expression, she'd missed out on something good. But it was difficult getting information out of the girl when she was reliving something from the past. Probably from last night.
The sound of heavy footsteps landing at the base of the stairs snapped both females out of their current focus.
"Ah, Vincent!" Tifa greeted him with a warm smile, "Would you like something to eat?"
"No. Water is fine."
"Ok, here you go," Tifa placed the requested drink in front of Vincent and stayed there. She looked over at Yuffie seated all the way on the other end, expecting the short haired girl to move closer. But she didn't move, if anything, she scooted further away onto the very edge of the seat.
Now Tifa had become suspicious of the two of them. Silent-Vincent was nothing out of the ordinary, but Silent-Yuffie was rare. Silent-Yuffie meant something was up.
"Yuffie~!" Tifa called to her, "Why don't you come over here and sit next to Vincent!"
"No way!" Was the ninja's immediate response. She huddled her food closer to her as if Vincent would snatch it away any minute and shot him pouted glares.
Vincent calmly sipped on his water.
"I'm leaving!" Yuffie yelled, suddenly stuffing the remaining piece of her toast into her mouth. Before she could get away, Tifa stopped her.
"Wait! Reeve has a mission for you!"
"Fine! I'll drop by!"
"Go with Vincent, Reeve wants to see him too!"
Yuffie nearly ran into the door. She had a really bad feeling about this.
