Sorceress and Knight

By Dark Angel Girl 0110

Hiya, people! I finally decided to start a FF8 fanfic and I really hope you like it :) . By the way, I don't own any of the characters... Oh, wait! Yes I do! Well, at least two of them. They are MY creations! MWUHAHAHAHHAHA!!!! ANYWAY, back to our little fanfic :) .

Chapter 1- New guy on the block

Since Sorceress Ultimecia was defeated, peace has settled on the lands once again. Galbadia Garden is back where it belongs, Trabia Garden was rebuilt and Balamb Garden continued it's routine like nothing ever happened. Squall is now in charge with organizing the SeeD exams and with the students' training, and the rest of the team are in the Garden as well, helping Squall with his duties. Seifer, Raijin and Fujin are back at the Garden too, and are now studying hard for the SeeD written test.

Rinoa "Squall, here is the list with the students who will transfer here for next SeeD exam."

Squall "... So many? (I guess SeeDs became pretty popular after the Second Sorceress War)"

Rinoa "Seems like everybody wants to become a SeeD these days. smiles You know, Seifer is gonna take the SeeD exam, too..."

Squall "Yeah, if he passes the written test..."

Rinoa "You really don't want him around, huh? Well, you know what? Seifer will pass the written part! And I really hope he scores high on the field, too!"

Squall "(why is she doing this?) Rinoa, you know I don't trust him... And you shouldn't either, after everything he's done to you."

Rinoa "Even so! I still think he should get a second chance!"

Squall "... Whatever... But I'd feel better if I knew he wouldn't cause any trouble..."

Rinoa "You're terrible!"

Zell just came into the room "Hey, guys! Wanna grab a bite at the Cafeteria? Irvine, Selphie and Quistis are already there."

Rinoa "Sure! I could really use a break, and I'm sure Squall feels the same way."

Squall "......"

The three take the elevator down to the 1st floor and go towards the Cafeteria. At the Front Gate there was a long line of students waiting to receive permission to enter the Garden. They were all the transferred students from Trabia and Galbadia Gardens. Many of them had already arrived, so the Cafeteria and Dorms were swarming with people. In the Cafeteria there were no more empty tables. Squall, Rinoa and Zell sat down at the table where their friends were, but couldn't help notice the man at the table in the corner. He was sitting alone in the shadow and his black clothes were making him even less visible. Before Squall could finish his thoughts, Seifer, Raijin and Fujin made their way into the Cafeteria. Since all the tables were taken, they headed straight for the table in the corner.

Seifer "Are these seats taken?"

Man "Yes."

Fujin "SURPRISING"

Raijin "Fujin's right, ya know!? If they're taken, who's sittin' here?"

Man "I am."

Seifer "Hey, I tried to be nice!" pulls out his gunblade "But now you're pissin' me off!"

Man jumps up from his seat and takes out his dagger "Don't mess with me, pretty-boy!"

Now Squall and the gang (who were all watching the unexpected scene) can finally get a good look at this strange new character. He was tall, had a long blonde hair, green eyes and was around 17 years of age. He wasn't wearing the Garden uniform, so they assumed he had just transferred here.

Seifer laughs "You wanna fight me with that toothpick!?"

Man "Why don't you come a little closer, so I can show you just WHAT I can do with this toothpick!"

Fujin "STOP!"

Raijin "Yeah, Seifer, leave him alone... You're gonna get in trouble, ya know!?"

Seifer "..." turns around and attempts to leave

Man "Haha! Didn't think you'd get scared so easily..."

Seifer "That's it!" pulls out his gunblade once again, but before he can strike, Squall stops him

Squall "That's enough, you two! You better behave yourselves from now on, unless you wanna get thrown out of the Garden!"

Man "... Fine..." sits down on the same chair and in the same position

Seifer "Why don't you mind your own buisness, Squall!? I've got something to settle with this guy here..."

Squall "It IS my buisness if you start fights everywhere in the Garden!"

Seifer "... Let's go, guys..."

Fujin "AFFIRMATIVE"

Raijin "Yeah, we got nottin' to do here, ya know!?" they all leave

Squall "Quistis, Seifer will be penalized for breaking Garden Regulations. You take care of that."

Quistis "... Ok."

Squall turns to the guy in the corner "As for you... I'm gonna let you go this time, since you just came to this Garden and you're not yet familiarized with the rules around here. But remember : You're not allowed to bring weapons in the Cafeteria, and the place destined for fighting around here is the Training Center. Next time you won't get away with just another warning!"

Man "Right, thanx for the tip..."

Squall "(what's his problem!?)" goes back to the others

As soon as Squall sits down on his chair, the man stands up and leaves the Cafeteria.

All "???"

Squall "(He's gonna be a problem...)"

Yaaaay! Just finished my first chapter! So, how'd you like it??? Reviews, please!!!
