A Mysterious Woman...
Hey people!!!! Guess who's back!? And I have not come empty-handed: I rought a new fanfic with me. It took me almost a week to finish this one, so I hope you'll like it. By the way: I don't own FF8 blah blah blah...
Chapter 1
An 18 year old girl was making her way towards Balamb Garden. She was tall, brown-eyed and brown-haired and was wearing a green dress. Her rucksack kept falling off her shoulders as she was hurrying to get to the Garden.
A few minutes later she walks up to the SeeDs guarding the door:
Maya: "I came as fast as I could! *takes a deep breath* I'm sorry I took so long, now can you please let me pass?"
SeeD #1: "I'm sorry, but unauthorized personnel is not allowed to enter the Garden - there's a quarantine"
Maya: "I know about the quarantine - that's what I'm here for *shows them her ID and license* I'm doctor Maya Starr and I was sent here to deal with the situation"
SeeD #2: "We weren't notified to expect anyone"
Unknown Voice: "What seems to be the problem?"
SeeD #1: "Almasy!? What the hell you doin' here!?"
SeeD #2: "Yeah, Seifer, you don't look so good..."
Maya: "Hold everything! What ever your name is, come with me to the infirmary right now!"
SeeD #1: "Sorry miss, but we can't let you inn - "
Maya: *interrupting* "Are you just going to stand there and watch him die!?" Seifer: "DIE!? For God's sake, I only have a cold!"
Maya: "Yeah, you and the rest of the Garden! You weren't quarantined for measles and besides, I know these symptoms... you have a Mako and Tyberium poisoning..." (don't ask me how Mako and Tyberium got there)
Seifer: "What the- !? What are these... things you're telling me about!?"
Maya: "They're chemical substances... lethal in a certain combination..."
Seifer: "OK... guys, let her in! *starts walking towards the infirmary* Follow me, doctor!"
SeeD #1: "OK, Seifer, we're letting her in, but she's in you hands... so if anything happens -"
Seifer: "Whatever!"
After the short interruption, Maya is walking down the hall in Balamb Garden, following Seifer to the infirmary. As they get there, she salutes doctor Kadowaki and connects her laptop to the experiment board and to the Garden data bank computer.
Maya: *looking at Seifer* "OK, now lift up your sleeve"
Seifer: "What!?"
Maya: "I have to get a blood sample *smiles* what did you think???"
Seifer: *smiles back* "I didn't think anything... I just didn't see that one coming"
Maya: "Oh... *takes the seringe a notices that Seifer was suddenly getting uncomfortable* *motherly look in her eyes* If you're nice I'll give you a lollipop when I'm done"
Seifer: *turns red and lots of sweatdrops appear on his forehead* "WHAT!?!?!?" Maya: *big smile* "Sorry, I get carried away sometimes... it was just so obvious that you're afraid of the needle"
Seifer: "No I'm not!!!"
Maya: *thinking: YA RIGHT!!!* "Oh... my mistake"
After taking a blood sample from Seifer, dr. Starr (Maya - in case you haven't been paying attention) pours it into a test tube connected to her computer (don't ask).
Maya: *mumbles something for a few minutes, while reading the data analyzed by her computer* "Uh -huh... OK... the concentration isn't lethal but it could become if it's not treated in time *fills a second seringe with a vaccine *looking towards Seifer again* now pull up your sleeve again"
Seifer: *thinking: SHIT!!! Not again!* *trying to look calm* "OK"
Maya: *guessing Seifer's thoughts (actually it was quite easy to see what he was thinking)* "This really doesn't hurt..."
Seifer: *sweatdrop* "I already told you I don't care if it hurts"
Maya: *trying to hide a smile from Seifer* *innocent voice* "Just thought you were wondering" *thinking: who does this guy think he's fooling anyway!?*
While she's giving him the shot she desperately tries not to laugh because of the faces Seifer was making (and it REALLY didn't hurt).
Maya: "OK, you're ready to go now... oh, could you please tell everyone, that isn't to sick to move, to line up at the infirmary for the vaccine?"
Seifer: "Yeah, sure thing doc" *is obviously happy that the 'torturing' is over*
Maya: "Stop calling me that; for God's sake, I'm not 50 years old! Call me Maya, k?"
Seifer: *smiles* "Sure; the name's Seifer Almasy"
Maya: "Nice to meet you... now off you go!" *thinking: he's cute....* *eyes bulge into heart-shapes*
As Seifer ran down the hall, Maya and dr. Kadowaki (sorry, I don't know her first name) prepared the vaccines for all the others. The children began making a long line from the infirmary. As Maya was giving them the shots, dr. Kadowaki noted that in everyone's medical records.
Dr. Kadowaki: *calling the student's names out loud* "Squall Leonheart... Zell Dintch... Rinoa... Irvine... Quistis... Selphe - excuse me *thinking: DAMN! what idiotic names!!!* Selphie .... Raijin.... Fujin... (and so on)"
Maya: "There must be hundreds of kids... I hope I have enough vaccines..."
Dr. Kadowaki: *doesn't realize she's talking out loud* "don't worry - we'll feed the rest to the monsters in the Training Center"
Maya: *starts laughing* "I know they give you a hard time, but..."
Dr. Kadowaki: "Heh.. got a little bit carried away..."
After a few hours Maya finishes giving the Garden students their shots and (whatddyaknow) she still has some vaccines left (yes, miracles do happen). *all this time Seifer stayed in the infirmary talking to Raijin and Fujin*
Maya: "OK... the Garden Faculties aren't exactly human so I can understand why none of them came for a vaccine... but what about the Headmaster?"
Dr. Kadowaki: "He's quarantined himself in his room"
Fujin: "COWARD"
Raijin: "Dat's stupid! Whatta moron!"
Seifer: "I'll go call him now" *looks at Maya to see if she approves - which is very unlike him*
Maya: "Yes, please do...."
(I'm sorry I forgot to mention this folks, but the action takes place right after the parade, where Sorceress Edea WAS assassinated by Irvine Kinneas, and now everything is back to normal in Balamb Garden... the only exception is that now Irvine, Rinoa and Seifer are there too, and have taken the SeeD exam, so Squall, Zell, Quistis, Selphie, Rinoa, Irvine, Seifer, Raijin and Fujin are now SeeDs)
While Seifer was running down the hall to get to the Headmaster, Maya, Dr. Kadowaki, Raijin and Fujin moved the sick students in the infirmary and started the treatment.
Maya: *to Dr. Kadowaki* "There... now they're stabilized... I think you can do without me"
Seifer: *came running down the hall and pulling Cid Kramer by the arm inside the infirmary* "Here he is"
Cid: *is convinced that now he got the disease too* "What are you doing, you moron!? I'll lower your SeeD level to nothing!!!!" *is positively furious*
Dr. Kadowaki: *to Cid* "Calm down... We'll give you a vaccine and you won't get sick no matter what" *to Seifer* "Thank you; now you're dismissed"
Seifer: "OK" *gives Maya a quick look in the eyes and takes off along with Raijin and Fujin*
After that Dr. Kadowaki gave Cid the shot and cleaned everything up with Maya. The Headmaster wanted to know how did everyone get infected. He scheduled a meeting later that day to talk about it; until then Maya was to remain in the Garden and was shown to a room in the Dormitory.
Maya: *looking out the window* ".... it's really nice here... I wonder if I could stay longer... Why don't I want to go away? I should be honest with myself..... Seifer?.... Yeah.... I guess that's why I don't wanna leave here... I wish it was possible..."
It was almost time for the meeting and Maya could hear Squall and his team as they walked past her room towards the Headmaster's office. "Seifer must already be there" she thought. She waited until she heard the door close behind Squall's group and then she started walking down the hall towards her destination. As she walked into the room she saw everyone sitting around a round table... Squall's team, Seifer, Cid... even Dr. Kadowaki was there already. "Sorry I kept you waiting" she mumbled as she sat down in the last available chair - between Dr. Kadowaki and Zell.
Maya: *like she suddenly woke up from a dream* "I think we should start this meeting with my report about the disease. *she stops a minute to hear everyone's approval to her suggestion (Seifer was the only one not to say a word, and that threw Maya out of her balance for a few seconds)* *after she recovered her balance, she started* OK, now since you all probably have guessed, this is not an ordinary disease, so someone made sure a student will get it and will infect the whole Garden. (But you probably figured this out on your own ) I can also tell you that whoever did this is not a chemist, because it's obvious the quantities of Mako and Tyberium in the mixture were not calculated. The best way to find out who it is would be to find out who has been to both places where you can find Mako and Tyberium within the last few days."
Cid: "And which are these places?"
Maya: "The Island Closest To Heaven has always been rich in Mako, and on the Island Closest To Hell there have been found traces of Tyberium."
Cid: "Then this is where we start. Who will take part in the mission?"
*everyone raises their hands except Dr. Kadowaki and the Headmaster (duh!)*
Dr. Kadowaki : "If I may make a suggestion..."
Cid: *impatient* "Go ahead"
Dr. Kadowaki: "There has already been a attempt to destroy the Garden. Once 'they' se it failed they could launch another one"
Cid: "Very well... Irvine and Quistis, you stay here to defend the Garden if necessary. Squall, you split the team into two parties and be on your way"
Squall: *to Cid* "All right" *to his team* "Zell, you go with Seifer and Maya; Rinoa, you and Selphie will be in my party. One party will take a boat to Fisherman's Horizon, from there they will take the train to Trabia Garden, and from that Garden, a boat to the Island Closest To Heaven; the second party will take a boat to Dollet, from there, a train to Deling City and then another boat to the Island Closest To Hell"
Selphie: "But which party will go where???"
Maya: "May I suggest that the party I'll be in should go to the Island Closest To Hell, because Tyberium is harder to identify than Mako, and we may need to analyze the clues found around the Tyberium 'Fountain', since there aren't many people on the island to tell us who came by in the past few days."
Squall: "All right... Zell, you'll be the leader of your party"
Seifer: "What!? I'm not taking orders from the chickenwhuss!"
Zell: "Well you've heard what he said... you'll HAVE to listen to me! Oh yeah!" *overreacts like he usually does*
Dr. Kadowaki: "If I may make a suggestion...."
Cid: *on the edge of his patience* "Just say what's on your mind, woman!" *realizes that everyone's looking at him like he's lost his mind* "Sorry" *big smile*
Dr. Kadowaki: "I think Maya should lead the party (at least this will keep those two from fighting all the time)"
Seifer and Zell in one voice: "WHAT!?!?!?!"
Cid: "Yeah, but is she experienced enough for this?"
Maya: "With all do respect, I've made it here without a scratch all the way from Timber... as for my intellectual capacity... I think I've proved enough in today's meeting."
Cid: *thinking* "Yeah.... you have a point... Very well : you'll lead the party"
Zell: "Hey, that's not fair!"
Seifer: "Well, it's better than taking orders from the chickenwhuss..."
Cid: "I'm glad you boys are seeing things my way. I think that's all for today's meeting. You'll leave first thing in the morning. Dismissed."
Right after the meeting, Maya went to the infirmary to check on the students and to give Dr. Kadowaki some last pointers about the disease. It was pretty late, and after she had dinner with the team in the Cafeteria she went to her room and thought about how things would be tomorrow. She was looking out the window again as she heard the door in the room right next to hers open. A few seconds later a young man's face appeared in the window. The short blonde hair shined like gold in the moonlight and his icy- blue eyes were brighter than any star on the night sky. A terrible scar raced down from his forehead to the right side of his nose. When she recognized him to be Seifer Almasy, she turned red... she couldn't dare talk to him... not just yet...
Heh... Seifer's description is my favorite part!! Please review and tell me what you think about it. The next chapter's coming soon!!!
Hey people!!!! Guess who's back!? And I have not come empty-handed: I rought a new fanfic with me. It took me almost a week to finish this one, so I hope you'll like it. By the way: I don't own FF8 blah blah blah...
