Chapter 5: Nighttime Stroll

Vincent stayed for the next six days getting to know what his son was like without Jenova. They were so much alike that the fact that they were related was obvious. The friendship between Yuffie and Sephiroth had also evolved to an unspoken love between the two. All three talked and enjoyed each other's company but like all good things, this too came to an end. The trio stood outside of the small Chocobo stable behind the house.

"Aww, Vinnie! Do you have to go?" she walked forward and hugged him.

He smiled and ran his gloved hand through her hair. "I must return to Wutai. It has been a pleasure to spend time with both of you."

"Vincent…I can't thank you enough for telling me about yourself and my mother. I too, will miss your company."

Vincent nodded at Sephiroth before reaching forward and pulling his son into a quick embrace. "I will see you both again soon." He nodded towards the little ninja. "Take care of her."

"I will."

"Goodbye." Vincent hopped on Squall and headed for the coast.

Yuffie looked up at the silver-haired General. "Well, I guess I should go start something for dinner." She said with a hint of sadness.

'I shall tell her tonight.' Sephiroth wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her to him as she let out a surprised yelp. "Go take a break, I'll make dinner."

Yuffie looked at him with skepticism clearly written on her face. "You can cook?"

"A little."

She shook her head and smiled. "Should I be afraid?"

He pulled her closer to his chest and gave her an evil smirk. "Very."

An hour later, Yuffie was sitting next to Sephiroth at the large dining room table holding her wine glass and eyeing her plate suspiciously. The room was filled with the red-orange light of the sunset and two candles stood flickering from the air being pushed through the air conditioner. He had made spaghetti and though it looked and smelled wonderful, sometimes even that can be deceitful.

He stared at her with the same smirk he had earlier, waiting for her to take the first bite. She picked up her fork and twirled it in the noodles. She brought it up to her nose and sniffed.

The handsome General laughed at her. "You know, you smell a lot of things. First it was the wound cream, then the antibiotics, now this."

The pixie-like young woman sent him a mock glare that only made him laugh harder as he continued to wait. She lifted the fork and slowly put it in her mouth then looked up at Sephiroth, who was now eating from his plate. "Seph, this is really good!" She took another bite.

"I'm glad you like it. Its one of the few meals that I actually know how to prepare well." He said before taking a sip of his wine.

Both thoroughly enjoyed dinner. They had talked about many subjects, even talking about how much they hated Soap Operas. Soon, the dishes were cleared from the table and already in the dishwasher.

Sephiroth looked out the window and saw the moon was shining brightly and the stars hanging in the cloudless skies. "Would you like to go for a walk Yuffie?"

"Yeah. Let me just grab a sweater."

He went to his room and grab an extra blanket and snatched his Masamune from under the bed and strapped it to his back. "Yuffie," he called to her. "You might want to bring your Conformer just in case."

Her voice floated to him from the other room. "I'm one step ahead of ya."

Sephiroth came out of the room and found her waiting for him. "You ready?" She nodded and he offered his arm to her.

Yuffie smiled and wrapped her small arm around his. "Lets go!"

The trees began to thin as the neared the beach. Surprisingly, they hadn't been attacked on their trek. They past the last tree and the soil turned to sand. Yuffie stood, frozen in place admiring the beauty of it all. Sephiroth gently coaxed her to move and brought them closer to the waters edge. He sat on the sand and thankfully, it still held some of the warmth from the suns rays. Seph looked up to the ninja and patted the sand next to him. When she sat, he threw the blanket over both of their shoulders.

She leaned closer to his warm body and he wrapped his arm around her. They sat in silence enjoying their closeness for what seemed like hours.

Yuffie gave a content sigh. "Gods, its just so beautiful out here." She said quietly as she looked around. The rays from the moon were shimmering on the clear waters, the stars hung lazily in the sky and the crickets were singing their night song. She wanted desperately to tell him how she felt, but her courage was lacking at the moment.

Sephiroth reached down and took her hand in his. "Yes it is, but none of this can compare to you."

Yuffie smiled up at him. "You are such a flirt." She said jokingly.

He returned the smile. "Would you like me to stop?"

"I didn't say that, now did I?"

"No…I guess you didn't."

'Yuffie, stop being such a chicken…Tell him!' Her mind screamed.

'Tell her.' His mind said simply.

"Yuffie I-"

"Seph I-"

They both gave a nervous laugh before Yuffie spoke. "Go ahead…"

Sephiroth turned his body so he was sitting in front of her with his legs crossed. He clasped both of her hands in his. "Yuffie, the last two weeks have been wonderful. I have never experienced anything like what I have with you. I never thought that it was possible for me but Yuffie I…I love you and I want to be with you."

Yuffie looked to the ground trying to hide the tears that came to her eyes. She didn't remember ever being so happy in her life.

Sephiroth took her silence and her refusal to meet his eyes as rejection. His chest felt heavy as his heart clenched painfully. "Yuffie, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I understand that you could never love me and I-" His eyes widened as her lips met his firmly. He was dizzy and his body felt flushed as he opened his lips to her tongue as it traced his bottom lip. He brought her to her knees and deepened the kiss, crushing her body against his.

They broke apart gasping for air. Yuffie looked deep into his aquamarine eyes and brought her hand up to his cheek. "Seph, I love you too."

He brought his lips to her and kissed her in gentle but no less thorough exploration of her mouth. His lips left hers as he brought his lips lower kissing a trail down her neck. He felt himself harden against her flat abdomen as her hands explored his broad back and tangle in his silver mane. Her touch sent fire flowing through his veins.

Yuffie was in heaven and she never wanted to leave. 'More!' Her mind screamed.

The young woman shivered as she felt his lips caress the sensitive skin of her neck. She gasped as she felt his firm member press against her. She felt dizzy as the heat in her body centralized in her pelvis.

Sephiroth pulled away and looked at her through heavily lidded eyes. "Gods, I love you."

She ran her hand through his hair and smiled at him. "I love you too." A cool breeze caressed their skin and she shivered.

"I think we should continue this in a warmer environment." He said as he stood and wrapped the blanket around her.

"Lets hurry back then." Yuffie purred grabbing his hand and dragging him back to the forest towards the small house.
