Yuffie felt warm, her entire body felt warm. She liked it; it felt nice to just be this way, just warm, plain and simple. She wished she could just stay like this forever. That was until she remembered what had happened.

Yuffie immediately pulled herself up, only to be brought back down; a tearing pain shot through her torso, the pain brought her back down on her back. Yuffie clutched her sides breathing rather heavily. Yuffie looked up to a rather lifeless ceiling. Yuffie closed her eyes for a second to let them a just to the light in the room, when she opened them again the she found that she was now looking into a pair of red glowing eyes that could only belong to one person, "Vincent" she said with a rather painful groin. "Don't move too much" he said "you broke a few ribs when you fell from that tree. You need to rest."

Yuffie slowly sat herself up enduring the pain. Yuffie looked around the room before her. She could tell that this was obviously a hotel, there was only one bed which she happed to be in, a small desk, a table and a few chairs, it was a very simple room. "Where are we?" she asked the man standing beside her. "Were in Junon" he quietly answered "It was the closest place I could bring you." Yuffie looked down and lifted her shirt to examine the damage, she found her body tightly wrapped with bandages, Yuffie's face started to burn red "Uh…did you?" Vincent didn't move or even shift slightly from her side "I had one of the maids bandage you up, you broke three ribs, they are only minor fractures,  I had to carry you all the way here, you're lucky it could've been worse." Yuffie plopped back down her head roughly colliding with her pillow. Vincent looked down at the young ninja princess, "Stay here, I'll go get you something to eat." He gracefully turned, his cape fluttering in his sharp movement, and left through the door.

Yuffie groaned at the silence, "What the hell was I thinking, getting myself into this mess?" That's just it she thought I wasn't thinking, Yuffie didn't even know what she planned to do or say once she found him, she just left her home and went chasseing after him, and now look where she was, in a bed with few broken ribs and having to be Vincent's burden. Yuffie cursed her own carelessness. "Well here I am" she told the empty room before her, "here I am with the very man I set out to find and I can't even think of something to say to him."

Yuffie closed her eyes, she felt almost silly, talking to an empty room. Yuffie smiled to herself, "well that's ok" she told the quiet room, feeling the bandages that caressed her body "It's not like I'm going anywhere soon".

Vincent was waiting in line, he was in some kind of fast food establishment, he didn't bother to even catch its name, and it was morning and the line was rather long with people eager to get there first meal, but that didn't bother him. The place was loud and impossible to hear yourself think, although the line was rather long it was moving fairly fast, the employees rushing themselves to fill every order, some rather hurried people were managing to cut in line to hurry and get on their way, that didn't bother him either. Nothing was bothering the great Vincent Valentine.

Vincent looked at the menu, he didn't know what half these things were, let alone what Yuffie would even like.  Vincent continued to stare at the menu, She also need something to help her regain her strength, he thought, however he didn't even know how much this cheap menu would help but it was all he could afford. Vincent barely had enough Gil to support lodging, let alone feeding two people.

"May I help you sir" said the voice of the young cashier. Vincent stepped up to the counter, breaking his stare with the menu. The cashier was young blond with short hair with a very odd curl of hair protruding from her head. Vincent looked back up at the menu, "yes I'd like to order the number 7 meal" he said, the woman looked up at him, "would you like orange juice with that?" she said in a rather low voice tone voice, Vincent looked down at the woman and nodded.  "That's 300 Gil sir, take your receipt and wait at the counter".

Yuffie was trying to go back to sleep, with no success. She never was the one to lie down once she got up. Yuffie sat herself up slowly, she couldn't go back to sleep. Yuffie lifted up the covers, trying not to put herself through more pain with unnecessary movement. Yuffie turned her legs off the bed, her feet making contact with the cold floor, Yuffie lifted herself off the bed one hand keeping herself stable, the other one clutching her left side. Yuffie could tell that her left leg was swollen. Yuffie felt grateful that she landed on her left side, if she landed on her legs they would probably both be severely fractured.
Yuffie limped away from her bed, she wasn't as badly hurt as she thought she was, she was lucky she could even walk.  

Yuffie limped towards the bathroom, "Might as well take a shower" she told the empty room, which was starting to become a habit of hers.  Yuffie lifted her shirt and inspected the bandages, she needed to replace them herself if she planned to take a shower. Yuffie scanned the room around her; she spotted a half empty box of bandages on the desk. Yuffie limped over to the desk and grabbed the box and turned back over towards the shower.

Yuffie closed the bathroom door; she turned on the shower letting the cold water warm up. Yuffie removed her shirt and began to remove the bandages, Yuffie gaped at her heavily bruised left side, her entire left side seemed black with bruises, she was told that it was a minor factor but it didn't look that way to her, the rest her body was covered on bruises that looked pale comparison to the massive black mass on her left side.

Yuffie stepped into the shower, reveling in the hot water caressing her body. Yuffie sat down in the shower; all she could think about was the refreshing hot water easing her muscles. Yuffie sat in the middle of the tub, letting the holy hot liquid run over her, letting it simply overwhelm her. If there is one thing Yuffie loved about hotels, it was that they never ran out of hot water.

Yuffie dried her hair with a towel, she collected some clothes from her backpack, Vincent must have collected it when she fell. Yuffie felt bad, all she did was giving him a burden to take care of. "He probably hates me" she told the room.

Yuffie hadn't expected her wild goose chase to end her up like this, wounded and with the very man she was looking for. Yuffie had always been careless, but not like this, this time was different. Yuffie was used to getting hurt or into trouble; she was used to paying the consequences. But she hated it when other people had to pay for her carelessness, especially when they were she loved.






Yuffie returned to her bed, wrapping herself in the warm sheets, trying to combat the cool air against her moist skin. Love, she thought, Yuffie couldn't deny it, she loved Vincent, she didn't know how these feelings developed, she never denied that she liked Vincent, he was a good battle companion, he never panicked or lost his cool, he may have been a bit on the dark side, but that was one of the things Yuffie liked about him, he wasn't like any other people in AVALANCHE, she felt like there was so much to learn beneath that dark exterior. Yuffie always felt calm in his atmosphere, like nothing really mattered anymore.

Yuffie was ignorant of her own feelings, she always thought that he would just be there. Yuffie never thought about these feelings or took them seriously; she took her own feelings for granite. It wasn't until Vincent's final battle with Omega that she took these feelings into thought, she remembered how she searched the ruined streets of Midgar just calling his name in the dead silence of the night, that's when everything changed, she never wanted to feel that way again, empty and alone, as she searched the cold empty streets alone and in the dark, searching for him, just hoping that he would answer her calls, just hoping that he would be alive, she just wanted to find him alive, she  wanted him to be with her, to comfort her, wipe away her tears and hold her.

She felt heavy since that night; she would stop in Tifa's bar and ask if Cloud had found anything him or any leads, only to be more and more disappointed. Yuffie wanted to join Cloud in his search, she wanted to be there the very minute they found him, she wanted to see that he was alive herself. However her father requested that she return to Wutai, there were still Deepground squads in the area and he needed her. Yuffie still kept in contact with Tifa, asking for any news everyday from her.

Words could not describe how relived she felt she heard that they finally found him, Yuffie wept with pure joy, she felt lighter, as if nothing could ever hold her back from what she was going to do, she wasn't going to take her feeling for granite anymore, she never wanted to feel like she did on that cold lonely night.

Yuffie however never got that chance, Vincent abruptly left before she even got a chance to see him, she never got to see him or tell him anything, she never got to tell him how she searched the empty ruins of Midgar, how she called out his name in the lonely night, or how she wished to accompany Cloud in his search for him, she never got to see him or tell him or anything, he just left, but she wasn't going to let Vincent just leave like that, she wasn't going to ever forget how much pain she went through in those empty streets, how could she ever forget that feeling of loneliness in her heart.

Yuffie just flat out ran after him, she left as soon as word of his absence reached her ears, she never said anything to Tifa, she just hung up on her when she told her the news, she didn't tell her farther or leave him a note, she just left chasing whatever dim trail there was of Vincent Valentine.

"So here I am!" she proclaimed to the empty room, "here I am with the person I set out to find and I can't think of a damn word to say to say to him, because…" Yuffie paused herself, she didn't want to say what she knew was true, she didn't want to say it, even to the quiet room, but Yuffie felt like she was keeping a secret from the room. Yuffie couldn't lie to herself, she reluctantly let it out "be…because I'm afraid of him rejecting me" Yuffie confessed to the room.
