* Ok, this is a hidden chapter of Seifer's life. It is connected to the
story, "Final Fantasy 8 Continues." There may be one scene in here that is
a lemon close to the end, so please mature audiences only! ^-^ *
A Hidden Secret
Seifer Almasy sat at a dock fishing away the minutes that flew by. Squall won.his gang defeated Sorceress Ultimecia. Seifer knew that he chose the wrong path and yet Headmaster Cid wanted him to return to Garden. Seifer knew it was Edea's doing. She wanted all her children around her. She was like a mother to him. He snapped out of his trance and looked at Raijin who was kicked into the water again by Fujin.
"Now what did you do that for, Fuj?" Raijin growled out angrily. "Did you ever think that there might be some sharks in here, ya know?"
Seifer smiled and noticed Fujin watching him. She was beautiful but not for him. His posse had followed him everywhere, even when he betrayed Balamb Garden for his sorceress.
"GARDEN." Fujin said. They waited for Raijin to get his ass out of the water and left for Garden.
When they arrived at Garden, many people still hated him and only a few had forgiven him. He then remembered that his twentieth birthday was approaching. He sighed and went into his dormitory room.
He woke up in the early morning hours and got dressed. He wondered if any woman would ever love him after all he had done. Life was hard and unfair, that was the price for dreaming. He walked down the dormitory corridor, accompanied only by his thoughts.
* * *
Quistis awoke to her annoying alarm clock. Her blonde hair was loose and out of place. As usual she was groggy and mad for waking up this early. Whoever made these damn rules is gonna pay! She slipped out of her soft warm bed and slowly walked over to her bathroom. The tiled floor was cold and she jumped as the icy felling swept through her body. After a quick shower, she walked over to her miniature kitchen. As an instructor she had a large dorm. She sleepily sat by the counter waiting for her cup of coffee to boil. She looked up at her calendar and noticed a red circle around July 14.
"July 14.Seifer Almasy's birthday." She read out quietly. His b-day? Lucky 20 and yet should I get him a gift? He was my former enemy and I did grow up with him at the orphanage. At least I can be kind and get him something.
Quistis looked at the clock and saw that she had only and hour before her class started. That would be enough time to go shopping for a birthday gift.
When Quistis arrived in Balamb town, she went straight for the Weapon's shop. She saw Zell speaking with the owner.
".Zell, I want you to take over the shop. It's yours." The old man said.
"Are you sure Mr. Femora?" Zell asked. His excitement began to light up his blue eyes. Quistis giggled and went to look around. She then noticed Fuijin and Raijin enter the shop. Great! I hope they aren't here to start trouble. Quistis thought to herself. To her surprise they were observing a few items. Quistis noticed a special sheath cover for gun blades. It was leather black with a weird silver etching on it. Yet when she walked over, Raijin snatched it.
"This will be a great birthday present for Seifer, ya know?"
"AFFIRMATIVE." Fuijin replied. Quistis sighed and looked around some more, yet she found nothing interesting. After saying bye to Zell and the former shop owner she left. When she passed the Item shop, a shiny light caught her eye. She walked over and saw a silver ring with words carved on the outside. They seemed to spell Wolf. Quistis rung the bell and waited impatiently for the clerk. A young girl came down the stairs. She was dressed sloppily and she looked so familiar.
"May I help you.Quistis Trepe! What are you doing here instructor?!" she asked in shock. Quistis now knew who she was, a young girl from one of her classes.
"I was gonna ask the same thing about you. Mauve, why are you here and not at Garden?" Quistis asked. The instructor crossed her arms and waited for the girl to answer.
"Well, I came to see my parents." Mauve started.
"Hey Mauve? Have you seen my pants anywhere?" a male voice asked. Quistis looked at the now blushing girl and Mauve held her finger up. "One moment please." She said and ran upstairs.
While Quisy waited, she noticed that the ring cost ten thousand gil! Well I'm going to have a little bargain with her. Then Mauve came down again with a boy trailing behind her. He was tall and had broad shoulders. His light brown eyes matched his light tan. His hair was a dark brown and it was still unkempt.
"May I help you?" he asked, "I own this store here and is there anything that you would like to see?" he asked.
"Yes, that silver ring over there." Quistis said.
"But Miss, that costs a lot of gil. Maybe something else?" he asked.
"No, that ring is all I want to buy from you. Now the price may be high and though you did have one of my students here and not at Garden, maybe we can negotiate." Quistis said. The young man looked at Mauve and sighed, "Very well, but you do know that it's blackmail. Five thousand, no more no less."
"Done." Quistis replied. The clerk took the tag off the ring and handed it over to the instructor.
"Oh and Miss, this is an item shop and we hold strange things here, so if something happens, please don't sue us." He pleaded. Quistis nodded and left for Garden. On the way, she tried the ring on and saw how beautiful it looked on her wedding finger.
"How pretty." she murmured. Quistis was going to take it off, but it wouldn't budge. "What the fuck? Why won't this damn thing come off?" Quistis struggled a bit and then finally she pried the ring off her finger. She held the ring in her right hand and examined it in the sunlight. Her hand began to throb and she looked down to see another silver band with the word Wolf carved into it. "But I bought only one! How is this possible?" She asked herself. She tried to take it off but every time she pulled, her skin shot out with pain. It was like it was forged into her flesh. This is just too strange. At garden she forgot about the weird band that clung to her finger and went onto class.
* * *
Seifer was sitting in the cafeteria when Squall came over with his girlfriend, Rinoa.
"Hey Seifer, so we heard tomorrow is your birthday." Rinoa started.
"Yeah, so Happy Birthday." Squall added. Seifer looked at them and smiled, "I can't believe you are even talking to me. After all I have done." Seifer said.
"Seifer, it wasn't your fault you were possessed."
"Yeah it is Squall, well thanks anyway." Seifer muttered.
"Is Seifer being nice today?" Rinoa asked in surprise as she and Squall walked off.
"There's a first for everything." Squall answered.
During the day Fuijin and Raijin greeted Seifer. They gave him the present and he thanked them.
"That was the best present we ever got ya, ya know?" said Raijin.
"Yeah thanks you guys." Seifer answered.
"YOU WELCOME." Fuijin replied.
Seifer told them that he would go to his dorm and put it on his blade, so it wouldn't get lost. He was a bit surprised that his friend's remembered his birthday, and Squall.he didn't forget. But we are still rivals! Are we? Who the hell knows. Seifer then noticed that Quistis Trepe was walking toward him. Great, what did I do now?
"Good afternoon Seifer." The instructor said.
"What did I do now, instructor?" He asked annoyingly.
"Nothing, anyway, happy birthday Seifer." Quistis said. She threw him a box and he caught it. Quistis? A box? You got me a gift? How odd.
"Well don't stare at the box, look inside stupid." Quistis urged. Seifer opened it and saw a silver ring in it. It had some words carved into but, a ring?
"You know, Instructor, I'm not a girl." Seifer began.
"You idiot, this is a men's ring." Quistis snapped. She smiled at the dumb stricken man and laughed.
"Thanks." Seifer said and noticed that she was laughing at him. He stomped off toward his dorm room and shut the door.
* * *
Late at night Seifer had a strange dream. Where am I?
Seifer looked around and found himself in Deiling city. Why am I here? Is this a dream? Yet it all looks so real. Then an image appeared in front of him. It was Quistis and his heart was caught off balance. Her hair wasn't pinned up, it was flowing gently around her shoulders and waist. She was naked and he blushed for she stood with him in a crowd of passing people. Why are you here? He asked yet his mouth couldn't utter those words. She smiled at him again and suddenly images began to blur and Quistis began to disappear. Quistis! But she was gone and he was plunged into a world of horror and darkness. Faces started to form and their claws began to reach for him. He screamed and screamed yet no one heard him.
He awoke in his room, covered in cold sweat. He scrambled out of bed and went to take a shower. He put on hot water and stood there as the hot drops of water hit his skin, washing away the sweat. He then noticed that on his left hand, the ring that Quistis gave him was there. He didn't remember putting it on at all. He went to take it off his finger but it was stuck. He put soap and water on it and still no avail.
"What the hell? Why won't this thing come off?" He peered at it closely only to see the carved letters swirl in different colored lights. He shook his head and looked at it again. The swirling colors were gone. He chuckled nervously to himself and walked out of his bathroom. Seifer looked at his clock, it was three in the morning. He fell back onto his bed, but sleep would not come to him. After a half hour he threw on some clothes and snuck out of his room.
* * *
Quistis woke up from a terrible dream and she shuddered. She fell back to sleep only to wake up again a few minutes later. The stars outside shone clearly and the large white moon greeted her with pale light. She smiled and she wanted to go outside. Without thinking she put on her silk robe and walked out of her dorm and out of Garden. The plains grasses were as tall as to her knees and she sat down among them. The insects chirped and it was a bit too warm for her. A flash caught her eye and she looked down at her hand. The throbbing began and Quistis shrieked when she saw her hand covered in fur. The hair was the color of white and gold. She screamed again and she felt the bones in her body begin to twist.
:Do not fight me, you and I are one forever.:
Several minutes later Quistis looked up to see a mutated wolf stand in front of her. His fur was silver with strands of violet and its eyes were icy blue. It growled softly and Quistis looked upon herself. Her body wasn't there! She was a wolf herself!
* * *
Seifer walked around until he was outside in a clearing. When he looked upon the moon his head began to spin and hurt. His hand also began to throb with uncontrollable pain. He looked down upon it and saw his hand transforming and the ring began to glow. He clawed at it but his other hand was transformed as well.
:Don't fight me.you will only loose. I am you and you are me.we are one.:
Seifer heard the words clearly and he opened his eyes. He felt short and he wasn't standing on two legs but four. This is all a lie! Werewolves are only a legend, a myth. This can't be happening! Seifer's tender wolf ears picked up a sound of a scream, a woman's scream. His powerful legs gave him unimaginable speed and he came closer to the howls of pain. Seifer skidded to a halt when he saw another like him on all fours. She was remarkable! A werewolf like himself! Her fur a white with gold and her eyes were blue like his.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I am.no wait a minute, who are you?" Seifer asked.
"I don't know." she answered. They both looked at the moon and suddenly the clouds covered it's light. When they looked at each other there stood two humans, Seifer and Quistis.
"Quistis? What the fuck did you give me! This ring is a curse!" Seifer snapped. He then noticed that they were both nude.
"I didn't know! I have one too you stupid asshole!" Quistis shouted back angrily.
* * *
The next day at Garden Quistis and Seifer stayed away from each other. Quistis told herself that morning that it was only a dream nothing more. At the cafeteria, she met up with Rinoa and Selphie. "Hey guys, what's new?" Quistis asked.
"Nothing much, Selphie over here was talking about the new party she will be putting up." Rinoa said.
"What are you featuring?" asked Quistis.
"Oh, it's in honor for headmaster Cid and Edea Cramer." Selphie said and went on explaining to her how things were going to be arranged. From across the room Quistis noticed Seifer watching her drinking a cup of coffee. Her instincts went wild and she couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Are you listening to me Quisy?" Selphie asked. Rinoa waved her hand in front of their friends face and finally Quistis looked at them.
"I'm sorry guys, I was distracted for a moment." She said.
"You don't look so good." Selphie said.
"You look different too." Rinoa added.
"I'm fine. I am just stressed out the exam is coming up and I am up to my ears with my students." Quistis lied.
"Oh. Hey look here come the guys." Rinoa said. The three girls looked up to see Squall, Zell, and Irvine coming over.
"Hello dumplings!" Irvine said.
"Put a sock in it Irvine" Selphie said. Irvine put on a hurtful face, but Selphie ignored it.
"Hey, did you here what happened last night?" Zell yelled out.
"What?" The three girls asked in unison.
"Well, I overheard headmaster Cid and Mistress Edea talking and they said they saw two ancient wolves near Garden." Quistis looked up at Zell and almost ran off but she kept her cool.
"What are ancient wolves doing here?" Rinoa asked.
"Several centuries ago there was said to be wolves that were larger then bears and that they hunted in packs. Then they became extinct when we came along." Irvine said.
"Any way, now they say that the two ancients have returned." Squall said.
"Yeah, but what do they want?" asked Rinoa.
"Edea said that they are GF's of some kind." Zell answered.
"That's impossible!" Quistis shouted.
"Hey cool it baby." Irvine said.
"Yeah, what's wrong Quistis?" Zell asked.
"Nothing, but they are just creatures." Quistis said.
"No, they are not my children." A woman said. It was Edea and she came over to them. "They are GF's because their elders formed them into one ring."
"Huh, a ring?" Irvine muttered.
"Yes, I read a book we had in the library. It's a copy of the original but it said that one day a ring would pick out a human and separate and then find another. It's a long tale though." Edea said. Quistis quickly excused herself and left for her room.
Later that night Quistis couldn't sleep. She got dressed and walked outside of her dorm and walked straight to the after curfew meeting. There was no moon and so Quistis relaxed. This was all strange and it couldn't be possible! She put her whole entire weight onto the gray banister and sighed. Seifer? Why him? Why couldn't it have been another? Why did I even buy him that ring!? Look at my consequences.
Quistis then heard someone across the balcony. She looked to find Seifer hidden in the shadows.
"Why are you here Instructor?" Seifer asked angrily.
"I always come here, do you have a problem?" Quistis snapped back.
"Why did you give me that ring?" he asked.
"I meant it as a b-day gift not a curse you moron." She answered.
"Well thanks a lot." Seifer muttered. He then noticed that Quistis was right next to him. Instead of walking away he grabbed her by the waist. He didn't know what he was doing it was like he was possessed.
"Seifer." Quistis said but her protest vanished when he kissed her passionately. She never felt this much power from him and she accepted. They kissed for several minutes and then she felt Seifer coax her to the soft and mossy ground. He slid her robe off and she in turn unbuckled his pants. He kissed her all over and teased her tremendously. She pulled him by the shirt and kissed him hard, her tongue exploring his. They hugged together and she felt him enter her softly. It was painful at first but he was gentle. He picked up his pace and the pain became pleasure beyond words. This was what she wanted and she followed along with him. She nibbled at his ear and kissed his neck, while he massaged her waist and breasts. Then it was her turn and she moaned with every push. Then they fell down together breathing hard. They were both covered in sweat and they slept with his arms around her. Their silver rings glowed and then died off.
* * *
Rinoa pounded at Quistis door , but no answer. Rinoa was worried about Quistis, she hadn't come out of her room in the last week. She took out a pin and managed to unlock the dorm room. It was empty. Rinoa checked the bathroom and saw a few boxes on the ground. She picked one up and read, Pregnancy Kit. Rinoa dropped the box when she looked on the bathroom counter. One of the testers lay there and she saw a plus on it. Quistis? She's pregnant? How? Who?
"Quistis? Where are you?" but no answer came. She searched around the room and her friend's bed was messed up and torn in several places. Her window was opened and cracked in the corner. Quistis was gone yet how did she manage to get out by window? Searches were told to patrol the whole entire continent of Balamb. Yet there were no traces found of their beloved instructor who appeared to be missing. Seifer on the other hand didn't seem to care about Quistis, but in his heart he knew why she fled and he knew that they were meant to be.
* * *
Epilogue
Quistis ran off and lived her life with her baby girl in Esther. Dr. Odine secretly taught her how to control the wild ring. She knew that she should have stayed and told Seifer but didn't have the heart to. A year later she wrote to headmaster Cid, that she would one day come back, but right now she had to take care of her daughter, Gwena. Seifer married Fuijin and she gave him the idea of buying the Balamb hotel and adding a pub to it. Fuijin became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
Seifer stood outside in the waiting room. Fuijin was in there for already more than five hours. After pacing the tile floor he heard a baby crying in the other room. Without thinking, he came in to see a nurse holding his newborn baby. He looked at his wife to see her eye closed, she was resting. He walked over and held his son. His son!
"Drakan Almasy. Fuijin! Look at our son." Seifer said with joy. He had never felt so much love for such a small and priceless thing. He used to hate children, but now the feeling was gone. He came over and sat on the bed, he looked at Fuijin and noticed that she was a bit too pale.
"Fuijin? FUIJIN!" Seifer cried out, but she didn't stir. A couple doctors came in a hurry, pushing the fear-stricken Seifer away. The baby began to cry and he watched as they tried to save his wife.
Seifer cried for the first time, Fuijin was gone. The doctors told him that it was due to heart complications and that her heart couldn't endure the birthing. And so our story goes onto Final fantasy 8 Continues.
* Very heartbreaking, though I think I went a bit overboard with the rings. Me and my imagination! ^-^ I hope you know understand the relationship between Seifer, Quistis, Gwena, and Dark Blade. This is their hidden chapter. By the way, what do you think of this story? Please write a review and please don't flame me! *
A Hidden Secret
Seifer Almasy sat at a dock fishing away the minutes that flew by. Squall won.his gang defeated Sorceress Ultimecia. Seifer knew that he chose the wrong path and yet Headmaster Cid wanted him to return to Garden. Seifer knew it was Edea's doing. She wanted all her children around her. She was like a mother to him. He snapped out of his trance and looked at Raijin who was kicked into the water again by Fujin.
"Now what did you do that for, Fuj?" Raijin growled out angrily. "Did you ever think that there might be some sharks in here, ya know?"
Seifer smiled and noticed Fujin watching him. She was beautiful but not for him. His posse had followed him everywhere, even when he betrayed Balamb Garden for his sorceress.
"GARDEN." Fujin said. They waited for Raijin to get his ass out of the water and left for Garden.
When they arrived at Garden, many people still hated him and only a few had forgiven him. He then remembered that his twentieth birthday was approaching. He sighed and went into his dormitory room.
He woke up in the early morning hours and got dressed. He wondered if any woman would ever love him after all he had done. Life was hard and unfair, that was the price for dreaming. He walked down the dormitory corridor, accompanied only by his thoughts.

Quistis looked at the clock and saw that she had only and hour before her class started. That would be enough time to go shopping for a birthday gift.
When Quistis arrived in Balamb town, she went straight for the Weapon's shop. She saw Zell speaking with the owner.
".Zell, I want you to take over the shop. It's yours." The old man said.
"Are you sure Mr. Femora?" Zell asked. His excitement began to light up his blue eyes. Quistis giggled and went to look around. She then noticed Fuijin and Raijin enter the shop. Great! I hope they aren't here to start trouble. Quistis thought to herself. To her surprise they were observing a few items. Quistis noticed a special sheath cover for gun blades. It was leather black with a weird silver etching on it. Yet when she walked over, Raijin snatched it.
"This will be a great birthday present for Seifer, ya know?"
"AFFIRMATIVE." Fuijin replied. Quistis sighed and looked around some more, yet she found nothing interesting. After saying bye to Zell and the former shop owner she left. When she passed the Item shop, a shiny light caught her eye. She walked over and saw a silver ring with words carved on the outside. They seemed to spell Wolf. Quistis rung the bell and waited impatiently for the clerk. A young girl came down the stairs. She was dressed sloppily and she looked so familiar.
"May I help you.Quistis Trepe! What are you doing here instructor?!" she asked in shock. Quistis now knew who she was, a young girl from one of her classes.
"I was gonna ask the same thing about you. Mauve, why are you here and not at Garden?" Quistis asked. The instructor crossed her arms and waited for the girl to answer.
"Well, I came to see my parents." Mauve started.
"Hey Mauve? Have you seen my pants anywhere?" a male voice asked. Quistis looked at the now blushing girl and Mauve held her finger up. "One moment please." She said and ran upstairs.
While Quisy waited, she noticed that the ring cost ten thousand gil! Well I'm going to have a little bargain with her. Then Mauve came down again with a boy trailing behind her. He was tall and had broad shoulders. His light brown eyes matched his light tan. His hair was a dark brown and it was still unkempt.
"May I help you?" he asked, "I own this store here and is there anything that you would like to see?" he asked.
"Yes, that silver ring over there." Quistis said.
"But Miss, that costs a lot of gil. Maybe something else?" he asked.
"No, that ring is all I want to buy from you. Now the price may be high and though you did have one of my students here and not at Garden, maybe we can negotiate." Quistis said. The young man looked at Mauve and sighed, "Very well, but you do know that it's blackmail. Five thousand, no more no less."
"Done." Quistis replied. The clerk took the tag off the ring and handed it over to the instructor.
"Oh and Miss, this is an item shop and we hold strange things here, so if something happens, please don't sue us." He pleaded. Quistis nodded and left for Garden. On the way, she tried the ring on and saw how beautiful it looked on her wedding finger.
"How pretty." she murmured. Quistis was going to take it off, but it wouldn't budge. "What the fuck? Why won't this damn thing come off?" Quistis struggled a bit and then finally she pried the ring off her finger. She held the ring in her right hand and examined it in the sunlight. Her hand began to throb and she looked down to see another silver band with the word Wolf carved into it. "But I bought only one! How is this possible?" She asked herself. She tried to take it off but every time she pulled, her skin shot out with pain. It was like it was forged into her flesh. This is just too strange. At garden she forgot about the weird band that clung to her finger and went onto class.

Seifer was sitting in the cafeteria when Squall came over with his girlfriend, Rinoa.
"Hey Seifer, so we heard tomorrow is your birthday." Rinoa started.
"Yeah, so Happy Birthday." Squall added. Seifer looked at them and smiled, "I can't believe you are even talking to me. After all I have done." Seifer said.
"Seifer, it wasn't your fault you were possessed."
"Yeah it is Squall, well thanks anyway." Seifer muttered.
"Is Seifer being nice today?" Rinoa asked in surprise as she and Squall walked off.
"There's a first for everything." Squall answered.
During the day Fuijin and Raijin greeted Seifer. They gave him the present and he thanked them.
"That was the best present we ever got ya, ya know?" said Raijin.
"Yeah thanks you guys." Seifer answered.
"YOU WELCOME." Fuijin replied.
Seifer told them that he would go to his dorm and put it on his blade, so it wouldn't get lost. He was a bit surprised that his friend's remembered his birthday, and Squall.he didn't forget. But we are still rivals! Are we? Who the hell knows. Seifer then noticed that Quistis Trepe was walking toward him. Great, what did I do now?
"Good afternoon Seifer." The instructor said.
"What did I do now, instructor?" He asked annoyingly.
"Nothing, anyway, happy birthday Seifer." Quistis said. She threw him a box and he caught it. Quistis? A box? You got me a gift? How odd.
"Well don't stare at the box, look inside stupid." Quistis urged. Seifer opened it and saw a silver ring in it. It had some words carved into but, a ring?
"You know, Instructor, I'm not a girl." Seifer began.
"You idiot, this is a men's ring." Quistis snapped. She smiled at the dumb stricken man and laughed.
"Thanks." Seifer said and noticed that she was laughing at him. He stomped off toward his dorm room and shut the door.
* * *
Late at night Seifer had a strange dream. Where am I?
Seifer looked around and found himself in Deiling city. Why am I here? Is this a dream? Yet it all looks so real. Then an image appeared in front of him.

He fell back onto his bed, but sleep would not come to him. After a half hour he threw on some clothes and snuck out of his room.
* * *
Quistis woke up from a terrible dream and she shuddered. She fell back to sleep only to wake up again a few minutes later. The stars outside shone clearly and the large white moon greeted her with pale light. She smiled and she wanted to go outside. Without thinking she put on her silk robe and walked out of her dorm and out of Garden. The plains grasses were as tall as to her knees and she sat down among them. The insects chirped and it was a bit too warm for her. A flash caught her eye and she looked down at her hand. The throbbing began and Quistis shrieked when she saw her hand covered in fur. The hair was the color of white and gold. She screamed again and she felt the bones in her body begin to twist.
:Do not fight me, you and I are one forever.:
Several minutes later Quistis looked up to see a mutated wolf stand in front of her. His fur was silver with strands of violet and its eyes were icy blue. It growled softly and Quistis looked upon herself. Her body wasn't there! She was a wolf herself!
* * *
Seifer walked around until he was outside in a clearing. When he looked upon the moon his head began to spin and hurt. His hand also began to throb with uncontrollable pain. He looked down upon it and saw his hand transforming and the ring began to glow. He clawed at it but his other hand was transformed as well.
:Don't fight me.you will only loose. I am you and you are me.we are one.:
Seifer heard the words clearly and he opened his eyes. He felt short and he wasn't standing on two legs but four. This is all a lie! Werewolves are only a legend, a myth. This can't be happening! Seifer's tender wolf ears picked up a sound of a scream, a woman's scream. His powerful legs gave him unimaginable speed and he came closer to the howls of pain. Seifer skidded to a halt when he saw another like him on all fours. She was remarkable! A werewolf like himself! Her fur a white with gold and her eyes were blue like his.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I am.no wait a minute, who are you?" Seifer asked.
"I don't know." she answered. They both looked at the moon and suddenly the clouds covered it's light. When they looked at each other there stood two humans, Seifer and Quistis.
"Quistis? What the fuck did you give me! This ring is a curse!" Seifer snapped. He then noticed that they were both nude.
"I didn't know! I have one too you stupid asshole!" Quistis shouted back angrily.
* * *
The next day at Garden Quistis and Seifer stayed away from each other. Quistis told herself that morning that it was only a dream nothing more. At the cafeteria, she met up with Rinoa and Selphie. "Hey guys, what's new?" Quistis asked.
"Nothing much, Selphie over here was talking about the new party she will be putting up." Rinoa said.
"What are you featuring?" asked Quistis.
"Oh, it's in honor for headmaster Cid and Edea Cramer." Selphie said and went on explaining to her how things were going to be arranged. From across the room Quistis noticed Seifer watching her drinking a cup of coffee. Her instincts went wild and she couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Are you listening to me Quisy?" Selphie asked. Rinoa waved her hand in front of their friends face and finally Quistis looked at them.
"I'm sorry guys, I was distracted for a moment." She said.
"You don't look so good." Selphie said.
"You look different too." Rinoa added.
"I'm fine. I am just stressed out the exam is coming up and I am up to my ears with my students." Quistis lied.
"Oh. Hey look here come the guys." Rinoa said. The three girls looked up to see Squall, Zell, and Irvine coming over.
"Hello dumplings!" Irvine said.
"Put a sock in it Irvine" Selphie said. Irvine put on a hurtful face, but Selphie ignored it.
"Hey, did you here what happened last night?" Zell yelled out.
"What?" The three girls asked in unison.
"Well, I overheard headmaster Cid and Mistress Edea talking and they said they saw two ancient wolves near Garden." Quistis looked up at Zell and almost ran off but she kept her cool.
"What are ancient wolves doing here?" Rinoa asked.
"Several centuries ago there was said to be wolves that were larger then bears and that they hunted in packs. Then they became extinct when we came along." Irvine said.
"Any way, now they say that the two ancients have returned." Squall said.
"Yeah, but what do they want?" asked Rinoa.
"Edea said that they are GF's of some kind." Zell answered.
"That's impossible!" Quistis shouted.
"Hey cool it baby." Irvine said.
"Yeah, what's wrong Quistis?" Zell asked.
"Nothing, but they are just creatures." Quistis said.
"No, they are not my children." A woman said. It was Edea and she came over to them. "They are GF's because their elders formed them into one ring."
"Huh, a ring?" Irvine muttered.
"Yes, I read a book we had in the library. It's a copy of the original but it said that one day a ring would pick out a human and separate and then find another. It's a long tale though." Edea said. Quistis quickly excused herself and left for her room.
Later that night Quistis couldn't sleep. She got dressed and walked outside of her dorm and walked straight to the after curfew meeting. There was no moon and so Quistis relaxed. This was all strange and it couldn't be possible! She put her whole entire weight onto the gray banister and sighed. Seifer? Why him? Why couldn't it have been another? Why did I even buy him that ring!? Look at my consequences.
Quistis then heard someone across the balcony. She looked to find Seifer hidden in the shadows.
"Why are you here Instructor?" Seifer asked angrily.
"I always come here, do you have a problem?" Quistis snapped back.
"Why did you give me that ring?" he asked.
"I meant it as a b-day gift not a curse you moron." She answered.
"Well thanks a lot." Seifer muttered. He then noticed that Quistis was right next to him. Instead of walking away he grabbed her by the waist. He didn't know what he was doing it was like he was possessed.
"Seifer." Quistis said but her protest vanished when he kissed her passionately. She never felt this much power from him and she accepted. They kissed for several minutes and then she felt Seifer coax her to the soft and mossy ground. He slid her robe off and she in turn unbuckled his pants. He kissed her all over and teased her tremendously. She pulled him by the shirt and kissed him hard, her tongue exploring his. They hugged together and she felt him enter her softly. It was painful at first but he was gentle. He picked up his pace and the pain became pleasure beyond words. This was what she wanted and she followed along with him. She nibbled at his ear and kissed his neck, while he massaged her waist and breasts. Then it was her turn and she moaned with every push. Then they fell down together breathing hard. They were both covered in sweat and they slept with his arms around her. Their silver rings glowed and then died off.

Rinoa pounded at Quistis door , but no answer. Rinoa was worried about Quistis, she hadn't come out of her room in the last week. She took out a pin and managed to unlock the dorm room. It was empty. Rinoa checked the bathroom and saw a few boxes on the ground. She picked one up and read, Pregnancy Kit. Rinoa dropped the box when she looked on the bathroom counter. One of the testers lay there and she saw a plus on it. Quistis? She's pregnant? How? Who?
"Quistis? Where are you?" but no answer came. She searched around the room and her friend's bed was messed up and torn in several places. Her window was opened and cracked in the corner. Quistis was gone yet how did she manage to get out by window? Searches were told to patrol the whole entire continent of Balamb. Yet there were no traces found of their beloved instructor who appeared to be missing. Seifer on the other hand didn't seem to care about Quistis, but in his heart he knew why she fled and he knew that they were meant to be.

Epilogue
Quistis ran off and lived her life with her baby girl in Esther. Dr. Odine secretly taught her how to control the wild ring. She knew that she should have stayed and told Seifer but didn't have the heart to. A year later she wrote to headmaster Cid, that she would one day come back, but right now she had to take care of her daughter, Gwena. Seifer married Fuijin and she gave him the idea of buying the Balamb hotel and adding a pub to it. Fuijin became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
Seifer stood outside in the waiting room. Fuijin was in there for already more than five hours. After pacing the tile floor he heard a baby crying in the other room. Without thinking, he came in to see a nurse holding his newborn baby. He looked at his wife to see her eye closed, she was resting. He walked over and held his son. His son!
"Drakan Almasy. Fuijin! Look at our son." Seifer said with joy. He had never felt so much love for such a small and priceless thing. He used to hate children, but now the feeling was gone. He came over and sat on the bed, he looked at Fuijin and noticed that she was a bit too pale.
"Fuijin? FUIJIN!" Seifer cried out, but she didn't stir. A couple doctors came in a hurry, pushing the fear-stricken Seifer away. The baby began to cry and he watched as they tried to save his wife.
Seifer cried for the first time, Fuijin was gone. The doctors told him that it was due to heart complications and that her heart couldn't endure the birthing. And so our story goes onto Final fantasy 8 Continues.
* Very heartbreaking, though I think I went a bit overboard with the rings. Me and my imagination! ^-^ I hope you know understand the relationship between Seifer, Quistis, Gwena, and Dark Blade. This is their hidden chapter. By the way, what do you think of this story? Please write a review and please don't flame me! *
