It was the week after the final and things were beginning to change in the
Garden. The SeeD initiates who had passed the final were finally given a
room of their own. Most of the newest members of Seed were already boxing
their things up for the move, although they would not be permitted to move
until after the celebratory ball. Also, the newest group of SeeD trainees
would be arriving in a few weeks, and preparations had to be made for them.
Things were indeed busy about the Garden, Fujin, however, chose to take her
time. Earlier she had decided, with the blessings of Headmaster Cid and
Edea, to continue and finish her training as a Seed, so she was among the
newest graduating class. To her, moving to a private room did not seem to
matter much because she had no roommate. Now that she thought back on it,
Fujin vaguely remembered another person living with her at one point in
time. However, the combination of her rough mannerisms, difference in age,
reputation, and the fact that she insisted, violently at times, that the
curtains were always drawn to block the sun, had taken care of the roommate
problem. In addition to that, she wasn't moving into a private room, she
was moving into a suite with Quistis. This caused her some discomfort, for
though she and Quistis had indeed become very close, Fujin still wasn't
sure if she was ready to live with the other woman.
Fujin sighed to herself and sat on her clothing covered bed to begin the tedious task of sorting through what she wanted to keep. She did love Quistis, she loved her very deeply, but the relationship seemed to be moving too quickly for the solitary warrior. Once the two women had revealed their feelings for each other, Quistis seemed to sweep her off her feet. The beautiful instructor was always there, always asking how she was, how she felt, what she was thinking. She had the annoying ability to make Fujin extremely uncomfortable, 'certain' comments, dressing in 'certain' ways, constantly flirting with her. True, Fujin thought as she tossed a worn shirt in the 'no' pile, I did enjoy the attention. I still do, because if she ever stopped I'd panic, and I think she knows that. Otherwise, she wouldn't do it so much. Fujin smiled to herself. That little vixen, I suppose that's what I love about her. She looked over at the one picture she kept out on her dresser. Quistis smiled out at the world as she held Fujin close to her, Fujin of course was not smiling, but she clung to her love as she glared at the camera, as if daring someone to take Quistis from her. She knows how to make me be.well me. A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts.
"COME." She said balling up another shirt and throwing it into the 'yes' pile. Quistis poked her head into the dimly lit room.
"Hey sweetie, good morning!" she smiled and stepped into the room. "Getting ready to move?"
"WHAT TIPPED OFF?" Fujin asked sarcastically and looked up from the pile she was working on.
"Oh you!" Quistis walked over to the window and pulled at the thick curtains "Dark enough in here?"
"LIKE IT DARK."
Quistis smiled and sat down on the bed.
"I know, want some help?"
Fujin nodded and shoved a pile of clothes over.
"DOING WELL?" she asked.
"Yes, things are getting a little hectic around here though, what with all the preparations for the Graduation Ball, assignments for new SeeD members, and arrangements for new students. Then again, things are always busy this time of year."
"TOO BUSY?"
"No, I get through it every year, thanks for asking. Oh yeah, about the students, has Headmaster Cid spoken to you yet?"
"SPOKEN?"
"Oh, I guess he hasn't."
"ABOUT?" "Oh nothing, he'll speak to you eventually. You know you really shouldn't ball up your shirts like this." Quistis carefully began to fold a few of Fujin's shirts. Fujin gave her a suspicious look. She hated being kept in the dark about things. Especially when they pertained to her.
"Don't worry its' good news."
Fujin rolled her eyes exasperatedly "WHAT ABOUT?"
"It's a surprise, and I'm not going to ruin it."
"OH YEAH?" Fujin asked, suddenly looking quite evil.
"Yeah." Quistis replied evenly. Quistis suddenly found herself lying flat on the floor, Fujin grinning as she pinned her down.
"TELL, OR TICKLE." She threatened.
"My lips are sealed."
"TELL!" Fujin frantically began to tickle the captive instructor.
"No never!" Quistis laughed trying to fend off the attack.
The two struggled briefly as they tried to pin each other. Fujin almost had Quistis pinned when the agile woman slipped out of her grasp and pushed her over.
"Gotcha!" Quistis shouted triumphantly and straddled her love successfully pinning her to the floor.
"ONLY YOU." Fujin replied squirming a bit.
"Hehe, better be only me." Quistis said leaning over and dropping a kiss on her lover's lips. Fujin chuckled and took both of Quistis' hands.
"Of course only you." she replied deep in her throat.
"Don't do that, you know what."
Just then, a bell sounded throughout the Garden and Squall's voice came over the intercom.
"Will Fujin Kazeno please report to Headmaster Cid's office, I repeat, will Fujin Kazeno please report to Headmaster Cid's office."
Fujin sat up with a puzzled look on her face.
"SQUALL?"
"Yeah, he's getting training from Headmaster Cid. Once he's ready, Squall will take over as Headmaster." Quistis made herself comfortable in Fujin's lap.
"SQUALL, HEADMASTER?"
"Yep, I think he'll do a good job."
Fujin shrugged and got up, spilling Quistis from her lap at the same time.
"Hey!" she protested Fujin just grinned and patted Quistis' head.
"OFFICE." She ran a hand through her hair and offered Quistis a hand. "WALK?"
"Sure," Quistis took the offered hand "I need to see Xu anyway, she's got the schedules up for teachers now."
The two exited Fujin's room hand in hand.
