Yuffie stood there in a daze, unsure of what had just happend. She remembered talking with Vincent, and then suddenly being caught in fear at the sight of Sephiroth returning to the village. She had ben sure she was standing out of the way: She was barely in the middle of the street when the taller man had passed. A harsh shove, a gentle hand, and then The young ninja standing there dazed as the angelic being continued onward toward the shrine.
I must be going crazy. Sephiroth shouldn't be here...he wasn't supposed to come back...
Her expression hardening, Yuffie removed her parcel of bamboo and handed it to Vincent. "Wait here, i'll be back in a minute." Her fists clenched, her mind whirled in curiosity as she headed after Sephiroth toward the shrine. her heart felt icy cold with fear, but she couldn't help but deny any idea that such a horrible, evil man could come back to haunt her beautiful village.

(OOC: Tehehehee..I am getting lazy with my posting....*sob* MUST POST MORE!!!! *types frantically* )
Wth his superb hearing, Vincent easily heard the name the girl Yuffie had uttered. What reason did he have for being in the village of Wutai? Vincent knew nothing of the previous towns and cities that Sephiroth had single-handedly destroyed, having been Hojo's personal pet project at the time. For one who knew nothing of the pathway Sephiroth had cut through the many citizens of various towns, he easily recognized the cold, homicidal glare of a seasoned murderer.
In one fluid motion he pulled Yuffie protectively behind him, keeping her out of Sephiroth's direct line of fire. Vincent's face retained its usual calm mask, and yet, somehow, something was different. Despite his calm exterior, his crimson's eyes gleamed savagely, like a wolf waiting in the dark for its prey.
Just like Yuffie, one word was enough. That one word, spoken in almost every tone, the one word that could make women and men alike cower in fear. "Sephiroth..." Vincent said it, monotonously, as if the man before him was the devil incarnate in an angel's body.

Confused, Yuffie pried Vincent's fingers off of her green shirtsleeve. She hardly noticed the tone in his voice when he uttered the strange man's name. What she did notice was the sudden fire in his eyes. The fire showed pain, and it burned brightly. Yuffie longed to dull that pain somehow.
"Vincent...are you alright?" She asked, reaching up and placing a small hand on his muscular shoulder. She had completely forgotten about Sephiroth: All that mattered now was helping her new friend. "Come on...we'd better go talk to Neerija. It's probably the best thing to do for now."

Sephiroth looked around the velvet red Temple, short stubby bald monks in grey robes shuffled around in the temple totally ignoring the tall silver haired warrior that stood in their midst. peace....such a rare feeling...... the tall muscular armored man thought as he walked amoung the monks till he found what he was so desperately searching for.....a koi pond. Sephiroth leaned over the ledge of the upper balcony of the Temple The gardens....at last... he thought softly to himself as he gracefully jumped down from the ledge and landed with almost feline grace on the cobblestone path of the gardens of the Temple. Sephiroth smiled a little Its so...calm...peaceful....removed...from the real world... he thought as he sat down on his favorite meditation rock that overlooked the water fall and the lake. He closed his eyes opening himself to the current of the lifestream, he could feel the monks inner peace resounding and echoing through the temple. He felt the stunning presence of the...the...light. He couldnt explain how he felt , he felt at ease, calm, welcome. As he meditated, the surroundings assumed their rainbows of color inside his head everything glowed and wavered as if in a rushing body of water...a stream...the life stream. Everything had its color, its vibrancy, its emotion....except him. Nothing has changed....it is as I thought.....I am.... the picture in his mind zoomed out as he stood apart from everything, where there was color in everything else....there was only void in him...blackness...eternal void...I am a monster..... his eyes narrowed I am not the monster here......THEY ARE It all suddenly became clear to him, it was all an abomination, the color, the life, the hate, the love.....All is skewed here.....it has gone horribly wrong....and must be made right. He clenched his fist and rose from the rock slowly lifting himself in the air with the sheer force of will. I will be the one to right these deformations....these...freaks...I will annihilate them all....and a new perfect race will rise from the ashes.....a new race of Anceints...a new Cetra... Sephiroth's eyes finally opened to see himself hundreds of feet in the air above Wutai and Gods we will be...rulers of the sea...sand and land.... finally a crooked grin spread across his face, a piece of his mind seemed to snap into place and he let out a deep bellowing laugh. "I HAVE MY PURPOSE NOW!!! I WILL CARRY OUT YOUR PLAN MOTHER!!! YOUR WILL BE DONE!!!" With that the mighty one winged angel flew off at the speed of sound finally using a fraction of his Legendary power. None shall be spared....and they will pay for their crimes.....for mutating...from the perfect Cetra...to these base life forms....and I will rule this new earth...this...perfection.....as their King....but where to rule them from.....why not serve irony and rule out of the hollow shell of my fallen bretheren.....but first....to Midgar....to bring that giant lumbering beast to its knees....once it falls....yes...I shall have all the influence I need....and I must seek out my bretheren....my fellow experiments....those with Mother in them...I must go to Midgar.....to fulfill my purpose.

Yuffie tried to focus on getting Vincent to visit the elderly woman across the way, but it was more difficult than she thought it would be. Her mind kept on going back to Sephiroth. I can't believe he came back after all these years... like the other people of Wutai, she was certainly suprised that the warrior had returned to their peaceful village. He was respected for sparing their village, that much was true. But he was still hated for destroying fellow villages, women and children, and even some of the elders were taken when he had first come. But that was a long time ago, and until now the fear for him had almost vanished. But now, as Yuffie watched the angelic man scream something about his mother high above the shrine, it suddenly became clear to her.
"I don't think my home is safe anymore..." She murmured.

Vincent couldn't help but notice Yuffie's stiff motions as she led him through the village. He himself could not complain, following after her but never letting the sight of Sephiroth's aloft form leave his peripheral vision. That animalistic scream echoed within his head, long after it left the one-winged angel's lips. 'We are both monsters...' He couldn't help thinking as he descreetly watched Sephiroth. 'We do not belong here...abominations of nature...' His thoughts were headed in their usual morbid and depressing direction. Even Yuffie's attempts at maintaining a cheerful face failed. Vincent heard her soft, muttered words and silently agreed, wholeheartedly with her prediction. "...I do not think it ever was...."

Suddenly becoming fearful, the young ninja looked over to Vincent, desperately trying to hide her fear from him. " We...we'd better get you to Neerija...there might not be much time left to do so now..." She took him by the hand (not noticing that her hands had grown ice cold from the fear of the situation) and continued leading him toward the hut. As they approached the large tabby cat sitting atop the house opened one eye, yawned widely, stretched it's huge body, and hopped down from the house with grace. With a swish of it's long tail it walked on in front of the two inside of the home.

The one winged angel rocketed through the air at supersonic speeds the wind creating frost on his silvery hair and trench coat. As he neared Wutai he sensed Vincent and sent a psychic burst of energy that would have knocked out any mortal but knew that it would simply alert Vincent to his arrival. It is fitting that the servants should know when the master arrives... he thought to himself. He stopped suddenly, the change in speed producing a sonic boom, he looked around the area as he looked down to find that girl and Vincent. Yes....the Wutai do know how to fight....she could be an asset.....if only for temporarily..... he found his mind slipping into the gutter Get your mind out of there Sephiroth.....Am I really that desperate? he asked himself still hovering in air Has it been so long since I looked upon someone with care? Has it been so long since I have felt anything? he pushed those thoughts aside plus for me to even consider taking a mate, she would have to be at least 1/2 Cetra.... he thought as he descended slowly, majestically, and deadily infront of Yuffie and Vincent. He felt the girl run into his toned chest and bounce off. Sephiroth achieved an almost impossible feat by rolling his eyes, catching the girl and standing her back up in the same motion. "Watch where you are going girl....someone less forgiving might make you pay for it..." he said softly as his bright green eyes stared into her eyes casting their spell. He moved a sliverly lock from his face gracefully then broke eye contact and moved to talk to Vincent "Vincent......I have need of you.....before your primary mission.....you must meet me at the edges of Midgar....we shall destroy it......I expect you to be strong enough to do what needs to be done....." he looked at Vincent expectantly waiting to hear his responce.

Yuffie stood there in a daze, confused as to what had just happend. d**n...he showed up again and I ran right into him...I'm getting too clumsy all of a sudden. She overheard Sephiroth's comments about Midgar and looked up, staring at him in anger. She had been to the city many times before, and although she knew it was destroying the planet with it's lifestream use a large quantity of the people were good hearted: They didn't deserve to die. "If you destroy that city then thousands of people will die! You can't do that!" She shouted. She didn't care how cold or dark Sephiroth was: She'd do anything to keep decent people from getting hurt. No one deserved to die just because one major corporation rooted in a city was destroying everything.

Her new burst of determination to save the humans put Yuffie into a new light for Vincent. Silly girl, bravery, yes, but Sephiroth is not one who will casually argue with you. He would rather slice you in two... On the topic of Midgar, however, he truly did not care either way; if the people died, he would get a little practice and if they did not, then the world continued to slowly die, inevitably decreasing their life spans. Either way, the humans die. Vincent lightly gripped Yuffie's shoulder(which, being not entirely human, made his group quite strong) and pulled her back, away from Sephiroth and next to himself. Yuffie, now relatively safer from any impulse Sephiroth could act on, Vincent took a few steps closer to the silver-haired, fallen angel. The metal of boots was hushed by the ground beneath his feat, making his movements seem even more eerie than usual. "I have been getting a bit rusty, I am in need of the practice."

Sephiroth's lips peeled back into a smile "Excellent my friend, will your...." he motioned with his head towards Yuffie "girl be coming? if so I expect her to know her place and to not get in the way....." he said honestly while thinking Though would be a shame to spill blood so young....especially when she could have her future uses..he chuckled to himself I really am becoming too much like mother he thought. He put a gloved hand on Vincents shoulder and smiled "your more of a warrior than I remember, I value your help Vincent.....if you need any equipment...I am sure my old stash would be of use to you and your girlfriend over there" he said laughing a little. Then he moved past Vincent to look Yuffie in the eyes as his expression softened a little "Do not fret girl, your village is safe....the Wutai have always had a code of honor that I have always treasured...." he held up his gloved hand and took off his left glove revealing a Wutai tatoo that meant Caged Dragon thought Sephiroth didnt know that. "A Wutai warrior gave this to me when I spared this village....so do not think me so cold as to slaughter those with honor...." he put a gloved hand on her head and ruffled her hair lightly "as long as you stay on my good side you wont have to meet my soul mate....Masamune..." The deadly sword always hung at his belt, long, graceful and deadly just like it's master. (OOC:wink). He turned to Yuffie and Vincent after stepping back a couple of steps. "So then, are you ready?"

Yuffie stared wide-eyed at Vincent, her mouth agape in shock. He's siding with that horrible man!? How could he do such a terrible thing!? She gritted her teeth and watched Vincent angrily. She thought he was a nice man, but judging by what's going on now she determined that it was all one big lie. Vincent was just an evil man just like Sephiroth, and they were going to cause nothing but destruction. She thought of taking out her shuriken...but then her eyes darted to the Masamune. The huge weapon had killed hundreds of people in the past: She had even vaguely seen it in use before. She realized that she could do nothing anymore. She was just a pawn, and it would be impossible for her to stop whatever the two were planning: She was only one person, and she was much to weak to be a formidable enemy to the two men. All she could do was clench her fists and grit her teeth as she watched the two speak.

((OOC: This is short...I know....))
Vincent did not fail to hear the tone in wich Sephiroth said 'girlfriend', nor did he fail to see the look of disgust on Yuffie's face. The girl is finally seeing me for the monster I am, eh? She will be safer that way. Hearing Sephiroth speak of weapons and secret stash, Vincent proceeded to pull out his own, the one thing in his life he truly new and understood, his Death Penalty. "I have my own means." He said curtly, trying to avoid any questions about ammo or his transformations. "Sephiroth, Cloud is in Midgar. With AVALANCHE."

Cloud... the name seemed to stick out in Yuffie's head for some reason. She remembered hearing a name like that before: Something about a rogue member of SOLDIER leaving Midgar to do something else or something along those lines. She wasn't the kind of person who read many things (after all she was too busy "hunting" materia) so she wasn't exactly sure wether or not the image in her mind was true. Either way, he seemed important.
Yuffie heard a squeak come out of her mouth. "Are you going to kill him?" She heard the question before she realized it was her who was speaking it. She stepped back a little bit, unsure of wether or not the two men would try to kill her. Without realizing it being friendly with Vincent had gotten her into deeper hot water than she could imagine, and she wasn't about to take any chances now that she realized it was happening.

"I have no intention of killing him. He is like me." Vincent regretted having to intentionally dinstance himself from Yuffie; she seemed like a nice girl, but just speaking with Sephiroth and himself could get her into more trouble than she could ever conceive. Hearing Yuffie's comment about Cloud being an ex-SOLDIER, his hope for answers grew. Cloud was once involved with Shinra and he himself had been experimented on, meaning he would at least be privy to more information than he was. "He is a monster like I am." He muttered under his breath. Now all he cared about was finding Cloud and getting the information he knew before Sephiroth could instruct him otherwise, so Vincent would be forced to be a pawn for Sephiroth, that is, if he wanted the answers he so vehemently sought.
