InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cocktail Mix ❯ Mix VII ( Chapter 7 )
Another Mix = AU story with a young Kaede and Vincent Valentine (FF7)
Extreme pairing or what? I don't know - I was bored one day and this is what my twisted mind came up with.
Cocktail Mix VII
Vincent Valentine, the dreaded Goth like vampire looked up to the old shrine. He could barely see the woman that sat on top of the stairs, looking down on the city. He was very curious about her but every time he went up there she was no where to be found. And he thought he was a shy creature but this woman was elusive, just like a feather in the wind. One second you could see her, the next she was gone. He felt a pat on his shoulder and he turned around and saw his friend Cloud behind him.
- Give it up Vincent; you will never see her up close. Many have tried but none have ever seen this shrine maiden. She doesn't want anybody to see her, leave it at that my friend, said Cloud and smiled gently.
- But why?? Nobody in the world could be that shy?? said Vincent and shrugged lightly and looked up towards the shrine again and saw the woman was no longer there.
- I don't think she is shy Vincent, she just don't want to be close to people. Just like you.
- Hmpf, don't be stupid Cloud, I am not that shy nor do I avoid people with such frenzy, snorted the black haired young man and began walking away from the stairs.
But all Vincent wanted was to run all the way up there, catch her off guard, only to see her once, only once. But that would have to wait, he could not do anything while Cloud was around, his friend was very cautious about what Vincent did, afraid that he would give in to the blood lust that sometimes raged his vampiric body.
- Want to come over to my house for some beer Vincent? asked Cloud and scurried off in front of Vincent.
The vampire thought about it for a few seconds before he answered that.
- Only if I can have some red wine instead?
- Deal, come on now!! shouted Cloud and began running towards his house.
Vincent smiled and followed his friend's suit.
A few hours later Cloud was getting really wasted due to all the beer he had managed to gulp down, but Vincent still was clear in his mind. He was drunk yes, but his mind was focused on the woman upon the shrine hill. He wanted to meet her, talk to her. Somehow he had gotten into his thoughts that she was the only one for him no matter how she looked like. He saw Cloud doze off in his bed and he walked out of his apartment, and he headed towards the mystical shrine maiden's place.
As he walked up the stairs he hid his mechanical arm underneath his red cloak, he did not want to scare her with it. He knew it look quite hideous and it scared a lot of people, even if he would never of dream of using it to harm another person with it. Ok, perhaps the bastard professor that made him into a monster with red eyes, fangs and a craving for blood.
Vincent found a bench in the garden that was connected to the shrine and he sat down, taking in the serenity of the place. He heard a rustle in the trees but when he looked he couldn't see anything. But he knew that she watched him intensely, he could feel it.
- Don't be afraid fair maiden, I am not here to harm you, he said with his soft melodic voice. - I know that you don't want to be seen and I respect, I am sure you have noticed me look at you from a far, and I want to be a friend if you will let me.
He was met with silence and he smiled. Perhaps she didn't want to talk to him, but he certainly wanted to talk to her so he continued.
- My name is Vincent Valentine, and I will come here everyday and talk to you if its ok? You don't have to answer me, I just feel that you are the kind type of person whom I really can talk to.
The air was still silent, but he could hear her move around in the tree. He didn't look towards her, but in the corner of his eyes he could see something white and red.
- I am curious to why you are so shy, but then again - it is not any of my business. A friend of mine told me that you more shy person than I am. I don't like people, not much. They all seem to taunt me when ever they can because I look different. HA! If only they knew how different I was they would be running as fast as they could away from me.
Silence…
- You see this, said Vincent and held up his metallic arm and flexed their claw like appendages in front of his eyes. - This is what scaring most people, it looks like something out of a horror movie I know, and I hate it. I am not a horrible person… am I? But I don't think the arm would be the reason to fright if they knew what I was.
Silence…
- I was born, that much made me human, but after an accident that cost me my real arm I was placed with a freaky mad scientist. He made all sorts of experiments on me, giving me the blood of creature you never knew existed, said Vincent with a dark sigh and put his hand away and looked up into the darkening sky. - I have a craving every now and then, a craving for blood.
A small gasp could be heard and he wanted to snort. But he didn't, she was of course surprised.
- I have never hurt a single person in my entire life, I have a friend that give me some blood when ever I need it. She works at a hospital and I get medical blood from her. I think I might out grow the need, because it seems like the craving moments grows further and further apart. That is a good thing don't you think so as well?
He looked at his watch and he knew it was time for him to head back home again. He rose to his feet and pulled his normal hand through his thick black hair.
- I am sorry, but I have to go now. I will come back tomorrow and talk again, he said and walked out of the garden but when he placed his foot on the top stair he heard an angelic voice.
- I am Kaede…
Her voice was like the faintest whisper but Vincent heard it as clear as day. He turned around but she was still hidden somewhere in the shadows.
- I am happy to meet you Kaede… and I will see you tomorrow again, he said and walked away from the shrine.
His soul was trembling with happiness. Yes, it was something about her that made his dark side feel good.
~~~ * ~~~
Kaede came down from the tree she had been hiding in when she saw the red clothed man come up the stairs. He had found a place to sit down and he began talking to her, something inside her wanted to give up and come down to him, but the fear of rejection and taunting made her hold back. Her right hand moved up and brushed over the pad that covered her left eye. She had seen him stay at the bottom of her shrine many times before but as soon as he was about to move towards her she was gone in a flash. A shrug of her shoulders reminded her of her tragic childhood and she didn't want to go through that once again. Never, she rather spent the rest of her life in absolute solitude than to be the object of teasing and taunting again.
But this man, Vincent, he was different, she could feel it. And when he held up his mechanical hand she felt sorry for him. He had suffered as well; she could hear the sadness in his dark and rich voice. When he told her that he would come back her soul rejoiced, she would love to hear him and when he walked away she took a leap of faith and said her name. She could see that warm smile graze his lips and she sighed in content. She liked Vincent Valentine and she wanted to get to know him better. Perhaps they could be friends…? Kaede wanted that very much.
~~~ * ~~~
Vincent came the next day just like had promised and he sat down on the same bench.
- Are you there Kaede? he asked when he didn't hear her in the tree.
- I am Vincent, a voice said behind him and he turned around to see a young woman stand there with her back against him.
- Ohh, how are you today Kaede? he asked and turned back again. She didn't want him to see her face and even if he wanted to get up and look at her, he didn't.
- I a bit afraid, it has been a very long time since I last spoke to another being, said the woman with her angelic voice.
- Why?
- Most people look at me in disgust or with petty in their eyes and I hate it.
Vincent snickered a bit, knowing that feeling all too well.
- I am glad that you gave me the opportunity to talk to you Kaede. I have been so lonely for so long, but when I saw you sit on top of the stairs I felt something inside my chest. It was like a warm hand gripped my soul and pulled it closer, but when you ran away I was sure you were disgusted by my form, said Vincent truthfully.
Kaede moved to sit next to Vincent on the bench, making sure that he would not see her eye patch. Her hand brushed against his and she felt a blue sparkle ignite a fire in her heart.
- I was not disgusted with you Vincent, I was only afraid, said Kaede.
- Will you allow me to look at you? he asked softly without turning his head.
- I am ugly… she said with out answering his question.
- I doubt that Kaede…
She closed her eye and turned her face, almost waiting for the gasp or choke or something but it never came. Her eye fluttered open when she felt his hand caress her left cheek. She drowned inside his dark ruby eyes, but she couldn't detect any disgust in them.
- You look absolutely beautiful Kaede…, whispered Vincent as he caressed her face with his hand. The eye patch over her left eye was nothing that could take away her radiant glory.
Vincent almost pulled her inside his arms when he saw her shy smile.
- R-really? she mumbled and looked down.
- I am not a man that believes in lies Kaede. When I speak I speak the truth, he said and cupped her face and tilted it up to look into her smoky grey eye.
She didn't say anything; instead she took his metallic hand and placed it inside her palm, showing him that she didn't felt disgusted or afraid of him as well.
- I must soon go back, but I will come again if you let, said Vincent.
- I like you to come, she said shyly and her long black hair fell forward.
- I am glad, see you later this evening then?
Kaede nodded and he released her face from his hand and stood up. He smiled and bowed before he walked away. Kaede's heart was racing inside her chest and she made a quivering sound. Gods, he wanted to see her again? And he didn't think she was ugly and revolting? She knew that he was a very special man; nobody had acted like he did towards her.
Unknown to Kaede, Vincent was having similar thoughts about her. She had taken his metallic hand; she had given him a chance to prove himself to her. He closed his eyes and saw her face and he wanted to touch it again. He wanted to drag his fingers through her long silky tresses, Gods, her hair was beautiful. He wondered how brave she must be, to come out of her shell and talk to a stranger. But he didn't feel like they were strangers, something about her aura made him feel very comfortable and safe, like they had know each other for ages. He came to the library where he was working and his co workers looked strangely at him, perhaps it was that smile that still lingered on his lips. He got his schedule and began placing returned books on their proper places. He wished the day would go fast so he could visit Kaede again.
~~~ * ~~~
Vincent barely had the chance to sign out from work when he was on his way to Kaede. But on the way he was stopped by a gang of very rough bikers. They looked at him and then they taunted him, not that he cared. He had a friend; a woman that liked being with him, so none of their harsh words could get to him. Or so he thought. He just stood there, waiting for them to finish their rantings and let him go when they suddenly was whacked over the heads by a heavy broom.
- Don't you dare call him names!! A low female voice growled from the mists. - What in all the Gods names makes you think that you are so perfect and beautiful??
- What the hell??!! snarled the leader and turned around only to get a mouthful of the broom stick.
- Get out of here before you get the chance to experience what it's like to mess with a witch's husband!
And since they only could see a swirling mass of grey mist and a very threatening broom they fled the street and was soon gone. Vincent could barely breathe when he saw Kaede come out of the mists with a small smile on her lips. She was dressed in white dress today, something that made her look unearthly when a small breeze made it flow around her body. Her long black hair was swirling around her face and he could see gleam inside her grey eye.
- Are you alright Vincent? she asked her voice back to its normal soothing tone.
- Y-yeah… how did you do that??!!
- Ohh, something my grandmother taught me when I was young. I am a miko you see, a priestess, a person that works with white magic, said Kaede and giggled a bit and looked at her broom. - Although a lot of people today seem to think that I am a witch.
Vincent smiled and then he got a teasing look in his dark red eyes.
- So I am your husband now?
Kaede turned instant red and she made a rough sound in the back of her throat and walked back to the shrine. Vincent was soon up and walking next to her. He took her left hand with his right metallic one and then they walked together back to her home. He saw her smile shyly and his heart was filled with warmth as she squeezed his hand a bit, letting him know that she was not angry with him.
This evening Vincent was invited into the small building next to the shrine that served as her living quarters. It was very sparesome with furniture, a small table with four cushions, and a small shrine table at the end of the room. The only luxuries of the room seem to be all the flowers that were placed here and there in small vases. He looked into the room next to the living room and saw a futon and a few closets, but that was it. Kaede came back with a tray and put it on the table. She served them tea. Silence was the only thing that could be heard as they drank their tea and looked at each other. But when he helped her put away the dishes he could feel a very strong feeling coming from her and it made him curious.
- What is it Kaede? he asked and moved to look straight at her face. She was blushing and tried not to look him in the eyes.
- It's odd Vincent, but I am getting this feeling that I have known you forever, she said softly.
Vincent shook his head. So it was not only he that felt that connection. But why?
- I have felt it as well Kaede. Every time I have thought about you and these few times that I have talked to you and seen you it feels like I am home, said Vincent and cupped her cheek and caressed her with his thumb.
- Perhaps we knew each other in another life?
- Perhaps we did, perhaps we even were husband and wife, smiled Vincent moved closer to her. - Do you know how you made me feel today when you called me your husband?
Kaede blushed even deeper red and shook her head. She was a bit embarrassed that she had called him that, but it just slipped out before she could stop it.
- It made me feel very warm, loved and protected. I liked it and it felt familiar, like I was used to be called husband by you.
- Oh…
- But why did you call me your husband?
- I… I am not really sure Vincent, it just slipped out before I could stop it, said Kaede and leaned into his hand. She wanted to be close to him. She put her hands on his upper arms and looked into his ruby red eyes. - I can not explain it, but when I am alone all I can think about is you, I always want to be close to you.
Vincent was speechless; she was experiencing the exact things that he did. How could it be possible? He put his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace. He could feel her hands move around his midriff to rest on his lower back as she placed her head against his shoulder. They stood hugging like that for a long time before he brought her up and carried her bridal style into the living room. He sat down against the wall and placed her in his lap. He shivered lightly when Kaede sniffed his neck and sighed in content.
- What shall we do about this? asked Vincent and moved to look at her face.
- I don't know… she whispered.
- What would you like to do about it?
A red colour flushed her face and she buried her nose into his neck again. Vincent was a bit confused, what was that all about? But he didn't push her to answer his question, instead he thought about he wanted to do. His mind painted up images of him and Kaede in a warm loving embrace… in bed. His eyes snapped open and he could feel his heart pound hard inside his body. What the hell was that all about? He had just met the girl and he was already seeing her naked and panting underneath him. "Man I am such pervert…" he thought and kissed her forehead, trying to block out the erotic scenery.
- Vincent?
- Mmm, what is it Kaede? asked Vincent.
- I want to be with you, always.
- As my wife? Asked Vincent with a small smile, knowing it would tease her.
- Yes, as your wife.
Vincent almost choked on his breathe when he heard her answer. He had not expected that answer. She moved away from his neck and looked into his eyes and he knew that she was sincere.
- I know I look hideous with just one eye, but I can not deny my heart's feelings, said Kaede.
If she was wanted to be his wife he had to ask her properly and he moved to stand up and then he kneeled in front of her. He saw her blushing face and she looked beautiful.
- Kaede, will you do me the honour of being the wife to a cursed creature? I humbly ask for your hand in marriage Kaede..
- Yes, yes, she whispered thickly and lowered her body and snuggled into his strong arms.
Vincent caressed her back with his hand and claw and murmured sweet nothings but he stiffened a bit when her lips kissed his neck. Her soft lips invoked dark feelings to surface inside his soul and he tilted his head giving her more access. He almost lost him mind when he felt her teeth nip his skin. Her hands moved inside his cape and two seconds later she had ripped his black shirt open, making buttons fly all over the place. The heat from her body made his blood boil with need and when she kissed his chest he could no longer hold back. He used his clawed metallic gold hand and thrashed her white dress in order to feel her skin against his.
Kaede was afraid of her own actions, but she couldn't stop it. She just had to touch him; she had to feel all of him. Her soul burned with desire to have him as close as humanly possible. Her cheeks flared red when she wanted to feel him inside her. Two lonely souls in the mists of passion, hands trembling to undress needing bodies. His lips devoured hers, his tongue pushed inside her mouth and when he moaned she felt an electric chill coarse through her body. His hand pushed her pelvis closer to him and she could feel his hard flesh brush over her naked stomach. She broke their kiss and moved away so she could look at him in full view. His long black wavy curls flowed down his shoulders. His naked appearance made her body flame with need. Just to see his readiness made her grow moist between her legs. And somehow his metallic hand only added to his charisma. She looked with heat at him and she could see him lick his lips.
Vincent took in her naked body with lust flaring around him. She was small, but her breasts were full and their nipples stood erect due to their heated kisses. Her body was small, yes, but she was all women, and she was his. His mouth watered and his hands, both human and mechanical itched to grab hold of her soft curves and melt into her embrace. He saw the small black triangle of hair that hid her most guarded treasure and he licked his lips.
- You are truly the most beautiful woman I ever have seen Kaede, whispered Vincent.
- And you my husband to be, are the most gorgeous man I ever have seen, said Kaede with a shy smile.
"A seductive angel… yes, that must be what she is. She is pure and innocent and yet she knows how to seduce me…"And somehow he knew that she would only act like this together with him. The Gods of Fate had set them up and he thanked them for it. He held out his left hand, his human hand and she took it and he guided her to the futon. She moved to sit down on her knees on the soft bedding and he followed her suit.
Kaede moved her hands over his chest and played with a few locks of his hair before she looked up into his face and smiled.
- Vincent, make me yours, she whispered softly.
- I will. Lie down and I will make you mine Kaede, said Vincent and kissed her forehead.
She lied down and he found his place between her legs. He held up his body with his arms and he looked into her eye with love. He kissed her neck, gently nipping his way down to her full breast. A small whimpering sound came from her when he suckled the nipple and then used his fangs to tease her a bit more. His artificial limp found her other mound and caressed it carefully not to hurt her with his claws. Her hips pushed up instinctively and he could feel her heated core brush over his length. He moved back and pulled her legs over his thighs.
- Open your treasure for me Kaede, he whispered huskily and he saw her move her right hand down to her womanhood and she parted her nether lips.
Vincent inserted the tip of his shaft into her wet canal and he groaned when he felt her tightness. He pushed into her and broke her wall of innocence. A small cry escaped her lips and he lowered his head to kiss her as he held still a few moments. As soon as he felt her move back against him he pulled back a bit before he sunk into her warmth again. Her wetness made his shaft slick and he moaned into her mouth.
The two lovers moved in perfect harmony of love. Nothing could ever tare them apart again. Vincent could feel every ripple, every little twitch inside her womanhood as he moved in and out of her body. As he was ready to spill he looked down into her eye, and he was lost in that smoky ocean.
- I love you Kaede, I truly love you with all my heart.
- My husband, I love you as well, said Kaede and flexed her inner muscles, bringing them both over the edge.
Vincent released inside her and her soft mewl told him that she too had gotten her pleasure. He sunk as deep inside her as he could before he flipped them over, making her lie on top of him. He had his length still inside her wet warmth and he had no intention of removing it any time soon.
Husband and Wife… two lonely souls that had found each other again after centuries apart. Gods of Fate did something good that day.
THE END!!
Hey - hope you liked it...
And now on to something completely different....
