Chapter
2

"His blood who sings to me…"

Vincent froze on the spot. Those words sent a chill down his spine
as the cold wind caress his face. There was an arm around his waist and a mouth
licking his ear. Silver hair sliding down his chest and a seductive voice

Blood began to stir in his groin and the next thing he knew, he
was hating himself for this. Am
I so perverted to the point of Sadist and masochism? He scolded himself. In his mind he
prayed his attacker would just be a dream and not some real life horror movie. How can this get any worse? First
Genesis now I'm being dotdotdot by another man. But he has other things to be
worried about like how the intruder had somehow turned him around and chuckle softly
before assaulting his neck. Vincent tried VERY hard not to moan but he did
anyway.

"What did I ever do to you to deserve this?" Vincent
struggled.

The intruder stopped sucking on his neck like a vampire but
instead kissed up his neck to his ears. "Because you are the one."
His voice was low and sinister laced with aphrodisiac and evil with roses and
blood all in one go.

-Genesis's
house-

Genesis reached home and rubbed his face with a loud sigh. How
could he have slipped? He made sure he played his best friend role perfectly.
This wasn't a war, that was over a long time ago. Ever since he came here, it's
been more peaceful and he could enjoy his teen hood even though he knows
perfectly well he is not 19. The wings were still there, a heavy burden on his
shoulders but that was the only reminder he wasn't from this world. Genesis
walked over to the kitchen and pulled out the wooden oak chair and buried his
head in his hands. This wasn't
suppose to happen, Vincent is my enemy in that world.. He wasn't suppose to be
this idiotic dumb caring friend... That idiot is suppose to be carrying a gun,
shooting Behemoth and saving the world with Avalanche.. I cannot taint him, not
in this world. He's worth more than the heartbreak Lucrecia had given him.

Genesis blinked the tears away, and pushed back a heart clench. He
wasn't suppose to develop feelings. Why of all people to fall in love, him?
Genesis was handsome and smart enough to score a date with any lady professors
at a high institute or a lady rich enough to own a few private mountain of
jewels. So why is he opting for his idiotic clumsy best friend who only knows
how to cook?

After Zack had defeated him, Genesis did not die, the life stream
had sent him into this Dimension. So now he is stuck with a weird relationship
with his best friend, a stupid professor is stuck on his idea to make him
suffer. Hey, at least it is not as bad as going to a war and have people coming
at you with stakes and guns. Genesis laid back and sighed in content. He know
his current situation with Vincent is screwed but.. what the heck. The red
haired warrior grinned cheekily and got up.

"If my life is screwed, there's no harm in getting it screwed
more." He muttered to himself. Tomorrow, he is going to make Vincent his.

Vincent stopped struggling and stood like a stone. That had just
sent shivers down his spine. But he has the same feeling that he had with
Genesis as he had with this..stranger.. So
he did what his instinct told him. A big palm smack right into the intruder's
forehead to send the fellow's head back then a nice big shove on the shoulders
to disarm and 180 degree turn, pressure on heels then sprint! He ran as fast as
he could and the next thing he knew, he was kissing Genesis's floor porch. He
slipped and landed face first and the loud thud alerted Genesis. His best
friend was kissing his floor porch.

"One kiss isn't enough for you, isn't it?" Genesis
leaned on the door frame. Then suddenly he snapped up and started to pick up on
his sense. It cannot be time,
he's not ready yet! Genesis
grunted alarmingly. He dragged Vincent off his porch and into his house,
shutting the door firmly tight and locking every single lock there is on the
door. Vincent groaned and rubbed his mouth.

Then he realise why he was here in the first place.

" Genesis! We must call the cops! There's this mad idiot
who's been stalking me in my room and today he tried to.. to.." saying
that he was almost raped would only create tension between them so he decided
to give a little push off the topic. "anyway, we need to call the
cops." Vincent reach out to grab Genesis's house phone but the red haired
teen stopped him. "No."

Vincent frowned in confusion. "No? Are you insane? He's
dangerous!" Genesis wrenched Vincent's hand away from the phone and pinned
him to the wall with his body. "I'll explain to you later, we are running
out of time." Despite the memory of a few hours ago running through his
head, Genesis could not afford to lose his best friend even though he is an
idiot. 'He will be here soon."

"Who's he?" Vincent asked, dazed. For some reason he
felt weak and tired, he wished this was all a bad dream and tomorrow he would
be facing his real nightmare who starts with a 'H' and ends with a 'O'. Vincent
stood up wobbly, Genesis gave him a help in hand to the kitchen chair since it
was the nearest place for Vincent to get a break. Genesis poured a glass of
water and hand it over to Vincent.

'Thanks Gen, this really means a lot to me..." Then his
vision blurred. "You.. spiked.. the.." and then he fell face first on
the table. Genesis caught Vincent's incoming head in time. "I'm sorry
Vincent, but this place isn't safe. Genesis snaked one arm under Vincent and
lifted him up bridal style and brought him up the highest floor. He slipped
Vincent out of the window then himself. He picked Vincent up again and released
his wings and took off. If someone were to look up on that night of the full
moon, they would notice a bird, high up in the sky flying gracefully.

Genesis brought Vincent to a cove located on the outskirts of
town. The cove was the exact same one as the cove near Midgar where the
lifestream flow at its purest. But here it's just clear water running from a
river into the town. Genesis lay Vincent on the dry surface of the rocks and
brushed some hair aside. He could hear his heart thud in his chest, loud and
forceful. It rang in his ears like drums beckoning his to do his heart's
desire. He could take his best friend here without him ever finding out but
that would be outrageous. But damn it was tempting. Genesis stroked Vincent's
cheeks and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, a kiss barely there.

Vincent was too precious for him to lose. The first time he saw
the raven haired gunner was during his ventures in the Shinra Mansion. He had
gone there to read more about Genova before he started his killing spree.
Genesis had found Vincent sleeping in the coffin but he didn't wake the man. He
seemed fragile, and full of sorrow. Now that he met Vincent again as another
person, he wanted to protect his smile, his laugh and his heart.

Suddenly the river flowing through the cove started to glow
emerald green. Genesis frowned in confusion. There was a bright light and he
grabbed onto Vincent protectively.

Genesis Rhapodos, you and Vincent Valentine shall correct what you
have done in another dimension. Failure to do so will result in both your
termination.

Genesis could recognise that voice anywhere. It was her, Minerva.. The next thing Genesis knew he was
unconscious and Vincent was nowhere near him.

To spare
the sands, the seas, the skies,

I offer
thee this silent sacrifice

"VINCENT!" Genesis jolted awake with a shout.

His breat, loud to his ear, his heart beats loudly, andrenalin
fuels his anxiety. His only friend was gone. His vision finally cleared. He was
staring at a sky, clear and bright. He looks around, eating the data's as he
scans. He was in a church, abandoned but well taken care of. The yellow lilies
bloom with pride, he could faintly hear children laughing outside. The red head
groaned and got up, steadying himself. Everything was too sudden, so.. surreal.
He knew Minerva had given him another chance. So now.. the problem was.. what
was he suppose to do?

"Don't run so fast!"

"hahahah you can't catch meeee!" Marlene screamed.

Genesis observed from afar, then Marlene started to get closer and
closer and closer and WHAM! Right into Genesis. The little girl fell and let
shout a small cry. "Ouch!"

Denzel paused to observe the stranger in the church. He had a
mysterious and dangerous aura but he wasn't the type to kill anyone. He did not
sense danger from this stranger but he was aware nonetheless. Marlene stood up
and brushed herself before staring at Genesis.

"Mister, you have pretty eyes!" She chirped.

Genesis was partly shocked but charmed at the same time. He
kneeled in front of Marlene and smile at her. "Why hello there, I am
Genesis, Genesis Rhapsodos."

Marlene grinned and did a small curtsy, "I am Marlene! And
over there is Denzel!" She pointed at the younger youth.

"Marlene! Denzel! Where are you?" a voice rang in the
air.

"Tifa Tifa!" Marlene bubbled. "Come meet
Genesis!" but when she turned around Genesis was gone but a black feather,
slowly floated down from the sky.

"Marlene! How many times have I told you not to come in here,
it's dangerous! Now come here you little rascal!" Tifa chuckled and chased
after Marlene.

Cloud came in the church and he met the sight of all those he
cherished in his life. He smiled to himself and walked towards Denzel to give
him a pat on the head before launching himself at Marlene and swining her up in
his arms. "Now you can't run Marlene."

"CLOUD! CLOUD'S BACK!" Marlene chirped. Cloud chuckled
and put her down.

'I'm back." Cloud said while gazing at Tifa. The raven haired
beauty smiled with affection.

"Welcome home."

Marlene ran towards the pile of Lilies and fell suddenly. Tifa ran
towards Marlene and checked if she was okay.

"Marlene? Are you alright?"

"Yes I am, but I tripped on something.." Cloud came
closer and cleared the part where Marlene tripped and he found an arm. Cloud
was puzzled and shocked at first but after pulling the arm he realise that it
was connected to a body so he heaved the body up and Tifa gasped.

"VINCENT!"

In the tavern of Seventh Heaven, Cloud, Cid, Barret, Sith and
Yuffie sat on the bar,

"He has been missing for a few years and now he is back all
of a sudden. What the shit is this idiot doing." Cid gritted through his
cigarette.

"It isn't like him to disappear without a trace. He promised
he would not go back into the coffin.." Tifa reasoned.

"I ain't care no shit, that friggin' idiot got all out
panties up our asses!" Cid cussed.

Barret covered Marlene's ears just in time "Please Cid, keep
the cussing to yourself.. But Cloud's right, it isn't like him to disappear
without a trace.."

"Maybe Vinny went to Chocobo island and stayed there for a
loooong time and decided he wants to open a Chocobo farm back in Midgar! Look
Cloud! You're going to get some new friends soon!" Yuffie said excitably.

Cloud grimaced. He did not need to be reminded of the Chocobo
incident.. "We'll know when Vincent is awake. For now let him rest.. He's
been out ever since yesterday. We should get some answers from him soon."

At that moment, Vincent walked down the stairs and stopped at the
foot. What in the world is
this? I did not sign up for freak shows.. The
raven haired male slowly approach the group. Cid was the first one to act. He
got up, and dragged Vincent to the table.

"Hey! Don't be rough! I can walk on my own thank you very
much!" Vincent grunted.

Suddenly everyone froze. They had a voice intoxication. Never
before had they heard Vincent said a full sentence without mumbling. Even Cid
was throw off guard.

"I don't know who you guys are but thank you for getting me
out of whatever mess I have gotten myself into and now I need to get back to my
academy before Hojo ask me to do a ten thousand word essay on meningitis."

Yuffie got up and rushed towards Vincent. 'Vinny! Vinny! What
happened to you? Do you have a fever?" The kleptomaniac started pushing
herself onto Vincent which made him very very irritated.

"Excuse me but please get off me. I am not sick and my name
is Vincent, I am from Midgar and now I would like to go back to Midgar."

'Well Vincent, you are in Midgar." Caith Sith said.

Vincent paused and look outside the window. Flying air craft, high
tech motorbikes, a weird statue, weird clothed people... This cannot be real. "Someone tell me this isn't
real.."

"Sorry to burst you bubble old pal but this is real."
Cid patted Vincent's back.

Vincent glared at Cid and everyone else in the room. "I am
Vincent Valentine, son of Grimoire Valentine, 19 this year I study in a
prestigious science college, I like to cook and I don't hang around crazy
people."

Cloud and everyone else in the room blinked in confusion. Maybe...
this isn't really the Vincent they know..
