She stop mid run in front of him. Her anger burned inside of her , threating to consume the last thread of dignity and composer she had. She stared deeply into the pair of crisom eyes above her. She couldnt see his full face, but she knew excatly what it looked like. Blank, dark, deviod of emotions completely .He open his mouth to speak , before he could she slapped him coldly across the face.She started to cry a little but did not let him see her tears. In the corner of her eye she saw him recoil slowly, keeping his head cocked upward acting a if nothing happened.He started to talked again , as soon he tried Elxia slapped him or at leashed tried to. He Caught her hand pulling her forward  in his arms . He looked down at her with sad crismon red eyes.

" Thats enough. " he said all most completely deviod of any feelings.She tried again but still missed." Are you done ?" She growled a little bit trying not to get lost in his eyes. She look down to the ground refusing to say anything for a while.

Vicent waited for her to respond.He felt his hearts ache, just looking at her made him wanted to tell her what he ha d longed to the moment he saw her. He wanted to tell her that he ......

No, he thought to himself you do not desreve her.your sins-

"Why do you have to do everything alone?!" She yelled He heard the tears on face splash into the puddle of water beside them. Her outbrust seemed very childish and unessary but,the question rang in his head. He stayed silent , having no answer .

" heh ," she said bitterly " I thought so ." she pulled her hand away from him trying to do as bitter and cold as possible. But instead, her heart it just.. hurt. She looked up at the White glowing trees.She could feel hot tears roll from her face.

Vincent took in a deep breath, he didn't know how to cofromt her, but he need to. If not for her but himself. He didn't know what to do, so he stood there waiting as always.She sighed, flicking her long sliver hair out of her face.

" He wasn't alway a monster," He looked up but he stayed slient just listening to her  words."He wasn't always ... just Sephiroth .not to me any way." She down beside the water staring at it with burning eyes " He wasn't there toy either . the sephiroth i knew .. died the moment he found out ." She fell slient .She felted something touch her face , she turned to see Vincent behind her cupping her face softly with his  gloved hand.He stared in her eyes with care kissing her softly before pulling away.

"sorry, "
