A/N This is a fic of mine that popped out of completely no where.
Basically, it's about Quis n Rinoa finding a lost Squall and what a new
'terrorist' group has evilly plotted. I was inspired by FF8 as well as
Kingdom Hearts but mostly I was inspired by an
RPG I am apart of.
Disclaimer: I don't own jack shit so don't bother me...
*~~* Nearly three years had passed since Time Compression. Five years... since they were all inseparable. Time passed normally, like it had never been altered. SeeD went on as usual, only minor disturbances having been reported.
Selphie had moved to Galbadia to be with Irvine.
Zell went home to his mother, a supposedly changed man.
Seifer barely stuck around a day before disappearing.
Squall had remained SeeD commander and had become a great leader of SeeD. And draped on his arm was the perfect Lady Heartily. The lovely and graceful sorceress and the handsome commander... a perfect couple.
Quistis had returned to Balamb and continued to teach. On too few occasions had she met up with her old students and childhood comrades. Life moved on and they did as well.
"Instructor?' came a shy and soft voice. Quistis lifted her blue eyes to the students whose melodic voice interrupted her reverie. Quistis smiled fondly at her.
Aira Mizunai smiled as Quistis took the Final Exam from her. the blonde was proud this particular student. Her long silver hair was pulled up in a pony tail. The girl's intuition and intelligence was unmatched in the senior class. Aira had amber eyes as soft as the after noon sun and silvery white hair as gentle as the moon. Her face was as pale as snow and her lips as rose as the cherry blossom petal.
Her ethereal appeal dubbed her as Dea by her classmates. she was rather solitary, Quistis noted, as a student she once had... SeeD had a special interest in the prodigal youth.
The student returned to her seat as Quistis assured her with a smile. Quistis returned to her reverie.
Rumor had traveled through SeeD that the Commander and the Lady were engaged. It was none of regal woman's concern but she couldn't help but be bothered by it.
She had felt like she had lost a race she hadn't begun when Rinoa came into the picture. It hit her hard when her emotions for Squall became more then professional but she thought it would be best not to press him...
And so he turned to the brunette beauty. And now they were betrothed. Quistis closed her eyes. Fickle. She was truly a fickle person. She wanted what she couldn't have. that just had to be it.
But it hurt anyway. She truly did want to be with Squall. She used to have fantasies, many during class, of the two embracing and loving each other...
But now they were nightmares of him and Rinoa while Quistis was left behind and ignored...
She jumped as her class was interrupted. Hyne knew she was shocked as Headmaster Cid Kramer entered. Quistis cleared her throat and bowed her head. "Headmaster."
More shock spread through her as the very Lady Heartily-Leonhart entered after him. Hyne only knew that she wasn't entirely pleased with the woman before her. However she wore a kind smile. "Sorceress." She said with another bow.
She offered her hand for the Lady. Odd for her to be here. And accompanied by Cid as well? "It's been some time, Professor.' Rinoa said regally as she took Quistis's hand.
"Too long." Quistis replied. 'Maybe not long enough.' thought the devil's advocate inside. she turned to Cid and greeted him as well. She returned to Rinoa. Her aching heart groaned at the sight of her.
Beautiful and nothing less. She wore a flowing sapphire robe over a black dress. A dazzling head ornamented graced her forehead. "May I have a private word with you?" inquired the Lady.
Quistis nodded and turned to her class. "I trust you will behave properly. If not you'll have so much work that you won't see the light of day until graduation. And that's *if* I grant permission for it." Quistis had warned in her test-me-and-see-what-you-get tone. "And even consider cheating and see how quickly you'll be packed and out of here." The class, indulged in their exam, nodded obediently.
Headmaster cleared his throat. "I'll be here with them, do not worry Miss Treppe."
She finally followed Rinoa out. Rinoa seemed to have been unnerved by the severity f Quistis's words. The taller blonde became congenial and elegant, as she was known for. Rinoa seemed relieved. "What has brought you to Balamb, Blue?" Quistis said sweetly. 'how' the Commander?" she inquired quietly.
Rinoa's regal mask shattered and now a broken woman watched Quistis. the instructor felt disturbed and afraid at the sight. "He's... in danger." Rinoa spoke hoarsely with a tight throat. She seemed but a hair away from breaking into sobs. "I don't know what to do, Quist.. I- I was told I was not to tell anyone, to pretend to be fine. I am to lie of his disappearance but I need help. I need to know where he is that... that he's ok!"
Quistis stared at Rinoa.
Squall? In danger? Her mind swirled with emotions she couldn't comprehend. She closed her eyes to hide them from the sorceress. She came to her? Of all people-... well, Rinoa didn't actually have a best friend now did she? Her soul mate and only friend must have been Squall and now she was lost without him. Quistis felt pity mix bitterly with jealousy.
"Don't worry Rinoa, just tell me everything. I promise to do all in my power to help."
Partly for Rinoa.
Partly for herself.
Mostly, however, for him.

End Chapter One.
Waddya think? This will develop more as the story progresses. I won't give away the coupling yet. ^-~ Read to find out.
