Disclaimer: Hey guys! I don't own or claim to own Final Fantasy or anything to do with it. Those lucky bastards at Squaresoft own it all except for D.W.

A/N: Welp, I finally got around to getting started on this. This is the beginning to the sequel of my fic, For the Love of the Enemy. If you haven't read it you kinda need to read it to understand this one.


Anywayz, on with the fic.

Oh and one more thing. This takes place the day after the epilogue of For the Love of the Enemy.

Anything with ' ' around it is thoughts.


D.W. turned to see Selphie sleeping soundly beside him. He thought about the night before and smiled. Selphie had been successful in catching Rinoa and gave Angelo his new chew toy AKA Rinoa's dreaded camera.
D.W. shifted a little causing Selphie to wake.
"Good morning, Mr. SeeD,"she said giving him a soft kiss on the lips.
"Good morning ummmm....damnit....I never was good at making up nicknames,"D.W. replied as he contemplated more on a nickname for Selphie.
Selphie just laughed,"Don't strain yourself, dear."
"Hey, don't make me throw you out of this bed."
"Well that wouldn't really matter because we need to get up anyway."
"Awwwwww.....do we have to?"D.W. whined.
"Yeah we do if you wanna catch breakfast."
"Fine."
D.W. and Selphie proceeded to get out of bed and get dressed. They made their way to the cafeteria where the whole crew had already started eating. The couple got their food and sat down with everybody.
"Good morning!"Selphie cheerfully greeted everyone. Everyone greeted her back and started to eat.

Meanwhile across the cafeteria...

Irvine eyed the group. He was especially watching D.W. and Selphie. It made him sick to see the way they giggled and flirted with each other. After all Selphie was his prize. He was determined to find some way to split those two up. Even if he didn't get Selphie he didn't want to see her with D.W.
As he pondered over this he noticed an unfamiliar face walk into the cafeteria. She was a blonde girl about his age wearing a SeeD uniform.
'Must be new,'he thought. Then he noticed her gaze fall on D.W.

Iris looked around the cafeteria. She had been at the garden for five minutes and she already hated it. It hadn't exactly been her life long dream to become a SeeD. Actually it was a last resort because she just couldn't pay the bills anymore. She used to own a night club, but was involved in a lot of shady dealings so when the authorities started getting suspicious she was forced to close her club and use her fighting skills as a backup career option. So she became a SeeD.
As she looked around she spotted someone familiar.
'Oh my God!'she thought,'D.W. Drake! What the hell is he doing here. He is looking good! There might be a perk to this hell hole after all.'
Then she noticed him put his arm around a girl and the girl proceeded to kiss him.
'Oh no!'she thought. Then she grinned,'This could be fun. It'll be so easy to get D.W. to ditch the perky little bitch then it'll be like old times.'
She again grinned evilly and then noticed a guy dressed like a cowboy staring furiously at the couple.
She had already started working out the plan in her head. She loved to do things like this. It kept her entertained.

Back on the other side of the cafeteria...

D.W. was playing and flirting with Selphie when he glanced around the cafeteria. His eye caught a tall blonde across the cafeteria.
'Oh shit!'he thought,'What the hell is Iris doing here!? And why is she talking to Irvine!? This could be bad.'
D.W. remembered her very clearly. She was the reason he decided to lay off romance and relationships and just concentrate on work. Basically his first love. He was going to ask her to marry him, but found out that she was going to rat him out to someone with a contract on his head.
He turned and looked at Selphie and got immediately cheered up. He didn't need her anymore. At least that's what he kept telling himself...

Somewhere in a huge facility on a remote island...

An evil looking man with dark slicked back hair was hunched over his desk typing furiously on his computer when a big weight-lifter looking guy who was obviously a lackey walked in.
"Sir the messenger is ready to deliver the contract,"the lackey said.
"Good,"the man said pulling something out of his desk,"Here it is. Make sure the messenger tells him that there will be no exceptions. If he's not dead he doesn't get any of the bounty."
"Yes sir,"the lackey said taking the contract and leaving.
"Perfect,"the man said to himself smiling.

Later in a bar in Deling City...

A rough looking guy with messy blonde hair was kicking back tequila shots when a man approached him.
"Are you Ace Kennison?" the man asked.
"Who wants to know?"the blonde man asked.
"A very rich man who wants someone dead."
"In that case, yes,"Ace replied,"You got a contract?"
"Here."
Ace started to read it over. "So let me get this straight,"he started,"this Zerrik guy wants a SeeD named D.W. Drake dead and he'll give me 1,000,000 gil to do it?"
"Yes."
"Apparently this guy's a big shot, why does he want some little SeeD dead?"
"That's none of your concern. Are you going to take the contract or not?"
"Yeah, I'll take it."
"Good,"the man said walking off.
Ace went back to his tequila shots as he thought of a strategy.

To be continued...

Well there's the first part to my little sequel. Sorry it took so long but I've had some MAJOR writer's block. Anyway tell me what ya think.
