Vincent walked wearily into the inn. He entered the room that he, Krad, and Sephiroth were staying in. Mild surprise played in his eyes when he saw Krad under the covers of the middle bed. He sat on the edge, watching the subtle rise and fall of the blond's chest.

 

`Seph? What are you doing wearing Vincent's cape?' Krad yawned. `Take it off and come to bed.' Closing his blurry eyes, Krad fell to the land of dreams again.

 

Vincent's eyes widened a fraction. What the…? Shaking his head, Vincent did as Krad asked. Only instead of joining Krad, he went to the bed at the further end of the room.

 

Staring at the black ceiling of the room, ignoring the whimpers of Krad, Vincent slipped into his own thoughts. He was not pleased when they were drawn back to Krad and Sephiroth. But he knew he wouldn't be able to shake the feeling of his blood running cold when he heard Krad's scream.

 

~Flashback~

 

Having changed his mind at the last minute, before boarding the airship to the Gold Saucer, Vincent took the long journey back to Nibelhiem. Getting back just before the middle of the night (it was the middle of the day when he changed his mind), Vincent let himself into the mansion.

 

Going to the kitchen to get something to eat before going to bed, Vincent ignored the thuds and bangs coming from the second floor. He labeled it as “Sephiroth doing kinky stuff to Krad”. At least, that's what it was labeled, until he went upstairs, and heard the pleas.

 

`Please, Sephiroth, don't! Please!'

 

Vincent's brow furrowed slightly, as he stood outside their bedroom door. What is he doing in there? Is this their new way of having sex?

 

`Sephiroth, please! Anything but that!'

 

Vincent could hear the sobs now. He could hear the strain and wavering of Krad's voice, and he shook his head. Surely Sephiroth would not rape him. Not even he is that low.

 

`If you had just shut your fucking mouth when I told you to, this wouldn't be happening!'

 

Vincent's eyes widened to the side of saucers when Krad's scream pierced the silent darkness of the mansion. His blood stopped flowing, and his face drained. `Krad…'

 

Vincent cringed when he heard Sephiroth's moans, and Krad's soft sobs. He wasn't sure how long he was standing there, but knew it was over when Sephiroth gave a loud grunt of satisfaction. Blending into the shadows when footsteps approached the door, Vincent watched Sephiroth leave.

 

When the silver haired assassin left the mansion, Vincent stood in the doorway of the room. From the pale moonlight, he could make out Krad's shaking form, curled up under the covers of the bed, weeping quietly. Vincent stepped into the room, alarming Krad.

 

`Vincent?' Krad solicited, staring over his shoulder. `Are you guys back already?'

 

`No.'

 

Krad's eyes widened, and Vincent knew what he was thinking. `H-how long have you been back?'

 

`Long enough.' Vincent stood at the edge of the bed, not wanting to cause anymore stress.

 

`D-did you he-hear anything?' Krad chewed his lower lip nervously, making Vincent's eyes soften slightly.

 

`All of it.'

 

`A-all of what?'

 

Vincent's eyes hardened again. `All of Sephiroth raping you.'

 

Krad looked away, going back to staring at the window. `H-he didn't me-mean t-to.'

 

Vincent left the room when Krad began suppurate again. He closed the door softly behind himself, and went back to his own room. How can he be so dense?

 

~End flashback~

 

Why am I even thinking of that? It's not my problem. Krad's just got to learn to say “no”. But that's why it is classed as rape. He doesn't deserve it. Not after the hell he went through with Eryk, Arsenic Passion, and the beatings before that. Vincent growled at himself silently. His eyes turned lazily to the door, as it was opened with a force.

 

Sephiroth stumbled into the room, landing roughly on Krad, who jolted awake, and scooted away. Sephiroth looked at the blond, who was watching him from the other side of the bed. `C'mere, Krad. Gimme some love!'

 

Krad shook his head, moving away from the bed. `N-not tonight.'

 

`What? I said gimme some fuckin' love!' Sephiroth glared at the blond. Through the alcohol, he could see the fear in the blond's eyes. Sephiroth stood, the alcohol losing its affect on his body. `I'm sorry, Krad.' With that, Sephiroth left the room.

 

Krad fell onto the bed behind him, jumping up immediately when a hiss was heard. `Vincent?! When did you get in?'

 

Vincent shrugged. `About forty-five minutes ago. You thought I was Sephiroth, told me to take my cape off, and join you.'

 

`Oh…It was you? Well, I, ah, I didn't mean it.' Krad went back to the middle bed, getting under the covers, and trying to sleep.

 

Vincent turned his head to the side, watching as Krad tried to get comfortable. Shaking his head, Vincent went back to staring at the ceiling. It was going to be a long night.

Vincent didn't even realize he had fallen asleep, until whimpering, and something loud woke him. Sitting up with a silent groan, Vincent looked out the window beside his bed. Closing his eyes tightly for a moment before opening them again. Since when did a thunder storm come to Costa Del Sol? His garnet eyes seeked out the whimpering noise. He was pretty sure it was coming from Krad's bed.

 

`Krad?'

 

`Y-yes, Vincent?'

 

From the brisk flashes of lightning, Vincent could see Krad looking towards the window. `Why are you whimpering? You sound like a beaten dog.'

 

Krad gasped. `Oh, sorry. I didn't know I was. I didn't mean to disturb you.'

 

`And me.'

 

`Cloud are you in here, too?' Krad looked to his right.

 

`So am I.' Nanaki.

 

Krad got out of the bed, and, after tripping over Nanaki, turned the lights on in the room. He began looking under each bed. He got to Vincent's.

 

`What are you doing?' Vincent, Cloud, and Nanaki watched the long haired blond.

 

`Well, everyone else decided to show up unexpectedly, I figured the others were under the beds.' Krad stood, turning around quickly. His long braid once again slapping Vincent in the face. `What are you two doing in here?'

 

If Vincent didn't enjoy the silken touch of the hair across his face, he would have cut it off by now. `Sephiroth changed places with Cloud. Nanaki…I'm not sure what his story is.'

 

`Barret and Cid always seem to have a snoring contest. I would much rather sleep in here with only Krad's whimpering and crying to wake me.' Nanaki saw Krad's blush, and the way he turned away. `Forgive me.'

 

`It's alright. I woke everyone, didn't I? Nanaki, sleep on the bed with me?' Krad looked at the beast with pleading eyes.

 

Vincent sat up, rubbing his eyes wearily with his good hand, before standing from the bed. `Don't look so surprised, Nanaki. You've always known that Krad has a fear of thunder storms.' Vincent stood, cracking his back. Oh, how he hated thunder storms. He couldn't go anywhere, due to his claw attracting the unwanted attention of the lightning.

 

`Yes. But I find it odd for someone to ask me to sleep with them.' Nanaki looked at the gold eyed blond.

 

`Just do it, Nanaki. We would like to get back to sleep,' Cloud grumbled, pulling the covers over his head.

 

`Please?' Krad gave Nanaki a pout.

 

Nanaki shook his head, leaping onto the bed. `You know me too well.'

 

Krad gave a delighted squeal and got under the covers of the bed, cuddling up to Nanaki, like a child would with a toy. Vincent watched them for a few moments, before leaving the room, turning the lights off, and closing the door.

Sephiroth walked along the shore, just past the water's reach. It wouldn't have made any difference now, since water was dripping from him. He had no idea on how long he had been out there for. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep, not with Barret and Cid's snoring.

 

Sephiroth wasn't surprised when he sensed another presence. One that was closing in on him quickly. Standing absolutely still, Sephiroth watched as Vincent landed before him. Their eyes bored into the other's.

 

`You had better not have come out here to preach me again, Vincent.' Sephiroth continued walking. He was going to go through Vincent if the raven haired man didn't move.

 

Vincent didn't twitch a muscle as Sephiroth walked towards him. `Why do you put him through the torture?'

 

Sephiroth sighed, stopping half a foot from Vincent. `If this is about the time I - '

 

`No. This is about daily activity. You ignore him most of the day. You terrify him at night. You force him to - '

 

`Since when did you grow a soul?' Sephiroth snapped uncharacteristically, glaring into Vincent's byronic ruby eyes.

 

`Since when did you lose your common sense? The ability to think straight? Did all this happen suddenly after that mission?' Vincent stood his ground, knowing full well that Sephiroth wasn't about to hurt him.

 

Sephiroth's eyes softened a fraction. `You knew better than to send me on that mission. You knew the consequences, yet you wouldn't take no for an answer.'

 

Vincent looked out over the angry waves of the ocean. `I see you are still mourning over Zack's disappearance. Is that why you harm him in such ways?'

 

Sephiroth looked up as a large streak of lightning lit the ominous clouds, and the rain came down harder. `Zack has nothing to do with this,' he defended over the thunder.

 

Vincent walked past Sephiroth. `Zack has everything to do with this, Sephiroth. Perhaps you have not only lost your common sense, but also your sight.'

 

Sephiroth frowned. `My sight is fine. I can see you perfectly.'

 

`You have become emotionally and psychologically blind.' Vincent disappeared into the darkness, not even appearing when lightning flashed.

 

Sephiroth was about to shout a few choice profanities after Vincent, when a familiar, yet distinct laughter came was heard over the thunder. Sephiroth's enhanced eyes searched the beach, settling on a form sitting on the wall. His eyes narrowed slightly, as he tried to make the person out.

 

`Don't tell me you've forgotten me already?' The person feigned sorrow, before leaping off the wall and walking casually over to Sephiroth.

 

Sephiroth's eyes widened. `When did you get here?'

 

A friendly smile came over his lips. `Is that the kind of greeting you give out now?'

 

Sephiroth growled. `I wouldn't push your luck.'

 

`Come, now, Sephy! Don't hurt me like…There's someone else, isn't there?'

 

`You should have known there was going to be someone else after you, Zack.'

 

Zack's eyes lowered. `So…You did forget me.'

 

Sephiroth's body tensed. `Up until recently, yes.'

 

Zack raised his eyes, the look in them distant. `I didn't think Eryk had me for that long. He vanished for a while, but returned a month ago.'

 

Sephiroth shook his head. `He had you for three years.' With a sigh, Sephiroth placed a hand on Zack's shoulder. `Come back with me to the inn. We'll talk more in the morning.'

 

+_+

 

Ok, I know that Sephiroth's part was very short, and for those of you who give a damn, I promise it will be long in the next chapter. Speaking of which, here is the preview:

 

“Eryk? Does he have long blond hair and blue eyes?” Krad stared intently into Zack's glowing orbs.

“Yep. He's quite the looker too…Until he began hacking away at my skin like it was going out of fashion.” Zack shrugged, pulling his shirt up to reveal his scared torso.

Cloud frowned. “Krad, I thought you…You know to him?”

“Perhaps, someone helped him escape? I don't know. But now that he is loose, you know exactly where's heading.” Krad left the room.

Sephiroth's eyes followed after him, but went back to Zack who was smirking. “That your new one, eh? He's defiantly cute.”

Sephiroth glanced around at everyone, who left the room. “Why have you decided to show up now?”

Zack's eyes lowered. “Seph, we were engaged.”

 

And that chapter will be up soon! Please review, or rate, or both! ^^ Ciao.
