No More Lies
Chapter One: His Return
Two months have past since the children of fate defeated the evil Ultimecia. Things were beginning to shape up at Balamb Garden. Squall Leonhart, who led the defeat, was now the Headmaster of the garden. His beloved girlfriend, Rinoa Heartilly, stayed by his fateful side constantly. They were a sight for sore eyes. As for the other orphan children, Selphie, Irvine, Zell, Quistis, and Seifer, well that was another story.
Selphie and Irvine have finally declared their undeniable love for each other. Apparently, they were secretly in love ever since they were children. Quistis became an instructor again after Squall had given her license back. She is still a SeeD and is currently on a mission. Zell was also given an instructor's license. He teaches martial arts.
Then, there was Seifer. Seifer had never came back to the garden after the Second Sorceress War. He was with his posse, Rajin and Fuujin, in the small city of Balamb.
That is where the story begins...

"TALK!" Fuujin glared at her blonde headed friend.
"Fuujin, you want to know what's wrong with me? Well, I want to go back to Balamb Garden. That's what's wrong!" Seifer admitted. Although he was ashamed to say it, he felt it was the right thing to do.
"I think we should go back, ya know?" Raijin added.
Fuujin slammed her fist on the table, "NO! BALAMB GONE! NO RETURN!"
"Fuu, if you want the garden out of your life and move on, go ahead. I want to go back. I want to try to become a SeeD like I've wanted too." Seifer said.
"THEN GO! I STAY!" Fuujin said.
Seifer acknowledged her wish, "I'm sorry it has to be this way, Fuu. I wanted us to stay together, you, Rajin, and me." He looked at Raijin, "Are you staying too?"
Raijin pouted, "I can't let Fuu live alone. To be honest, I had fun living here in this city."
"I understand. Come visit me soon then." Seifer waved goodbye and grabbed his suitcase full of his belonging. With another glance towards his friends, his posse, his family, he turned the door knob and left. He left to return to his old home, the garden.

Rinoa quietly walked towards Squall's office. He had stayed up all night finishing some papers on Quistis' current mission. It was her report as of now. Rinoa held a cup filled with hot coffee that Squall loved to drink. As he would say, it was his daily boost of energy next to Rinoa.
When she entered his office, he had his head down on the table. She walked over to him and shook him gently. "Squall, wake up. This is no time to be sleeping." He was fast asleep. "Poor Squall," Rinoa thought, "he must have been worn out from last night.
"Rinoa?" Squall said while rubbing his eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep."
Squall had changed in those last two months. Now, he was more opened and could easily express his emotions. Although, he was still an anti-socialist, he became better with his people skills. Over time, he would most likely be as opened as Rinoa.
"It's ok, Darling. Here, I brought you some nice, warm coffee." She handed him the cup. He accepted it gratefully.
"What brings you here?" He asked.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing, that's all." Rinoa sat down on top of his desk and turned towards him. She bent down and kissed him on his cheek. "You need a break. Why don't you let me handle the paperwork for awhile?"
"No, it's my responsibilty to complete my assignments. You just go hangout with Selphie like you always do." Squall exclaimed.
Rinoa shook her head, "No, no, I insist on helping you some. Please please please!" She begged.
Squall couldn't refuse that cute face of hers. "Fine, what you can do is deliver these papers to Xu. She'll most likely be in Dr. Kadowaki's office right now. She needs these papers from Quistis, alright."
Rinoa was eager to take the papers from him. She snatched them from his hands and jumped up. "Thank you, Sweetheart. I'll take these to Xu right now." Rinoa blew a kiss to her boyfriend and ran out the door.
Squall rolled his eyes. "Why does she have to be so persistant?"
*****
Rinoa walked at a faster pace now through the halls. She knew that she had to deliver these papers. It wasn't something that important and could be sent at anytime, it was the fact that Squall had finally let her help with something. He never ever lets her help with anything. He's not afraid of her messing up, he just thinks it's his job and not hers.
She wanted to show Squall that she can help. It would take a load off of his shoulders. He had too much stuff to do anyway. Why should he have to do everything when there are people willing to help?
Rinoa walked down the stairs on the first floor with the papers held close to her. She walked past the directory and noticed a familar figure approaching. He had blonde hair that was so slick, you could see it shine even without the sun. He was wearing a long, gray trenchcoat. On his side, he had a gunblade sheathed.
Rinoa gasped and dropped the papers. She knew who that was. "Seifer!" She screamed. His attention was directed towards her. All he could do was smile big. Why was he back at the garden? What will Squall think?
Suddenly, Seifer remember all the times he spent with Rinoa. All those memories were so vivid now. He watched as she picked up the papers without taking her eyes off of him. Was this heaven? Apparently, Seifer thought so. Were his feelings coming back for this sorceress who defeated him several times. Was he falling in love all other again with this angel who belongs to his rival?
Or were his feelings lying to him?
He walked up closer to Rinoa, "I'm back."

How did you like my ficcy so far? This is my first fanfic I've written, so if I need corrections, please tell me. If you are wondering, this is a Squall and Rinoa story. Maybe even a triangle with Seifer. I will put the other characters in the next chapters. I want some reviews from people so I know how I'm doing so far. My older sister, which by the way is an English teacher, proofread my story. She knows so much about English than me. Isn't she nice?
