Fujin's Song:

Disclaimer: I don't own Seifer, Fujin or Rajin. And the song in this fic was actually written by Michelle Branch, its called "Leap of Faith". Enjoy!

************************************************************************

"Cold water! Agggh! Dammit! Every time!"

A small, pale, 16-year-old girl stepped out of the dormitory showers, wrapping a towel around her small figure.

"Now I'm gonna be freezing all fucking day!"

Fujin Sanada, the second in command of the Balamb Garden Disciplinary Committee (the DC for short), toweled off her platinum hair, and threw on her pajamas before anyone walked in. The very shy, self conscious girl always woke up early to avoid group showers. Not only did she find the absurd nakedness of other girls walking around the barn-sized bathroom to be revolting, but she hated to hear them talk about her boss, and best friend, Seifer Almasy. "Seifer's so cute!" or "Seifer's so strong" and the even more frequent "OHMIGOD, I can't believe you slept with Seifer!". He was only 17, and he was practically a male whore. After a while Fujin got sick of hearing about his private life, and started setting her alarm clock for 5:00 AM on the dot.

She gathered her soaps into her shower bag, threw on her flip flops, and walked to her dorm. She pressed in the password on her keypad lock: DC POSSE. Seifer and Rajin had the same passwords. Seifer said it was so they could have instant access to each other in case of an emergency, but both Fujin and Rajin knew about Seifer's bad dreams, and how he crawled into Fujins bed like a big baby when he was scared.

"ACCESS GRANTED" Fujins door slid open, allowing her to pass through. She tossed her bag onto her twin sized bed, and sat on the small couch that she'd purchased recently, so she could sleep on it if Seifer decided to show up in the middle of the night.

She stretched her arms out above her head and yawned.

"I need to get a better room" She said aloud, picking up a small blue notepad that was sitting on the night stand next to her. She began to jot a few words down on it, not noticing the door slide open again.

"Finishing up a song just now?" Fujin jumped, and looked over to her friend, who was smiling smugly. "You know, most people would finish their song's before they plan to perform them."

"God Seifer why the hell do you have to sneak around like that, you scared me!" Fujin sat back down, and set the note pad beside her.

"So I take it your not ready for tonight?" Seifer questioned, flopping himself down on her bed.

"No, I'm ready, I was just finishing up a surprise song...." She smiled at him and picked the note pad back up, and continued writing.

Fujin was getting ready for her first real performance. Yes, Fujin was a singer, and song writer and guitarist. She had the voice of an angel, and tonight she was singing in a club, for a major record company, the same one that the late Julia Heartilly had a contract with. Rajin had set it up as a surprise for her. He thought that she'd be happy, but he found out that she was less than thrilled when he got the infamous kick in the shins. She had only performed in a couple of bars, and now she was performing for a record company! She scrambled to create some new material, and just in time, tonight at eight was her big debut.

Seifer smiled back at her, and playfully threw a pillow her way, striking her in the head.

"Surprise song huh? What for?" He laughed at her wet hair, which was sticking up all over the place.

"Well..." She threw the pillow back at him "Actually.... I'm writing it for you." She blushed slightly, and diverted her eyes from him.

"For me?" He smiled slyly and walked towards her. "Can I read it?" He tried to peek over her shoulder, but she quickly hid it against her chest.

"Oh like thats really going to stop me." He tried to grab the notepad, but Fujin jumped up and ran to the other side of the room.

"No! You can't read it! It's not finished yet!" She said nervously, sitting down on the bed.

"Well then why don't you practice singing it for me, you know, so you don't mess up....or whatever..." He walked over and sat next to her, placing his arm around her shoulders.

"Please?" He said sadly, wrapping his other arm around the front of her, and placing his head against hers, and softly kissing her temple.

They sat in silence for a few seconds, and Fujin finally spoke.

"Yeah, that's definitely not going to work." She laughed, and shrugged his arm off of her shoulders.

"Well you can't blame a guy for trying. So when will I get to hear this famous 'ode to Seifer'?"

He flicked her nose with one of his ashen fingers. And laughed at her as she scowled at him.

"The name is 'Leap of Faith', thank you very much. And if you wanna hear it, you'll have to come tonight." She said, smiling at him, and walking to her dresser to get her clothes.

"Fuu, I've got a date with a really hot chick tonight, I don't know as if I'm going to go to your little show." He said, lying back down on her bed.

"My 'little show'? This could be the most important day of my life. I even wrote a song for you, and you're not going to go?" She looked at him, and then shook her head, stomping off to her mini bathroom, and slamming the door.

"Well, that's just great!" She yelled at him, "Don't come see if I care! I'll just cut the best song from my act, no fucking problem!"

"You don't have to cut the song just because I'm not going!" He yelled back at her, rolling his eyes.

She opened the door swiftly, and glared at him.

"You obviously don't understand!" She said, stomping back out to get her black combat boots, and shoving them on her petite feet. She then stood, and turned her back to him.

"Well your right! I guess I don't get it! Would you mind explaining it to me instead of biting my head off!"

Seifer waited for an answer, but all he heard was a few quiet sniffles. Fujin brought a pale hand to her cheek and wiped away a tear, and tried to banish the others from leaving a wet trail down her face. But to no avail, she let them fall.

"Oh Fuu...Jesus..." He stood up hesitantly, preying that she wouldn't bruise his shins again, and walked towards her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "I'm sorry for yelling at you, but why do you want me to go so bad? Huh?" He nudged her head with his a little. "Don't cry sweetie, I hate seeing you cry" He turned her around and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I-I just, wanted you to hear it. It's a song for you Seifer, and if you're not going, than I'm not going to sing it. If you can't hear it than no one else will."

Seifer sighed, and stroked her platinum hair. He loved her so much, but he knew that she didn't have any feelings for him, at least he didn't think she did, so he had recently decided to try and forget about her, but when he saw her crying, he just couldn't resist. He tilted her head so that he was staring into her eyes.

"You look so cute when you cry" He chuckled and smiled as he wiped one of her tears away. She groaned and frowned at him.

"Tell you what, I'll go on my date. But I'll make sure that I get home at 7:30. Even though I won't see the whole show, you can save my song for last, and I'll be there in time to listen to a couple songs before it, okay?" He said, still looking at her, and tucking a strand of platinum hair behind her ear.

"You promise? You'll be there for the whole song?" Fujin's face brightened up.

Seifer took a step backwards and crossed his heat with his index finger. "I promise."

He smiled and stepped back toward her, kissing her forehead.

"Well, I've gotta go, but I'll see you later, okay?"

Fujin nodded her head and smiled at him "Okay!"

"Bye!" Seifer yelled, as he walked out the door. Fujin got her notepad and took out her guitar. 'Seifer's going on a date....' She sighed and sat on the edge of her bed. 'Oh well, at least he'll be home early. I can't believe I'm doing this, I'm actually going to tell him how I feel. Sing him the song then reveal my feelings. God I'm nervous, but I don't think I can live another day without telling him I love him.'

She opened her guitar case, and tuned it so it was just right, then she began to play, and sing.



"And it's a leap of faith

When you believe

There's someone out there

It's a leap of faith

When you believe that

Someone cares, oh

And when I call out to you

Will you be right there

Right there...."
