A/N: I have use of the Wordpad program now, so I can now make this fic more presentable. So, I am going through each chapter and editing it for errors, ect. Some things have been added, and I will continue with the later chapters as planned. I will warn against any sexual content in the appropriate chapter, and where to stop reading at if you are offended by that sort of thing.

Disclaimer: This will be the only chapter that states this, since it is the beginning of the story. All characters, unless stated otherwise, are owned by Square Soft (Square Enix). This story is about the "librarian with the pigtail" that zell likes. I simply took that character, added a name and her own history.

Chapter 1: Beginnings

I sat facing a table, sitting at that table was a young, blonde male. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old and he wore black pants, a dark blue vest and a long grey trench coat which had these blood red crosses on the arm-sleeves. I could only see the right side of his body with the way he sat at the table. I decided to draw him.

I knew who he was...he was the hot hunk named Seifer Almasy. Every girl in Balamb Garden was either after Seifer, or a hot brunette named Squall Leonheart. I have been at this Garden for a while now and I still haven't found the courage to talk with either of my dream dates.

I took my grey charcoal pencils and my sketchpad out of my backpack. Most students at the Garden didn't carry bookbags or anything like that, but I did because it saved time. I didn't feel like making the trek all the way across the Garden just to get a couple of books and what-not out of my dorm.

I was drawing ever since I was on the white SeeD ship when I was younger. I had drawn so many things...people, monsters, landscapes, buildings...you name it. I had always gotten complements even from the white SeeDs, although they usually didn't talk to the orphaned children who were on the ship. I brought my thoughts back to my current task. I stared at Seifer's godly face for a few minutes so I could remember the details. He must've caught me staring and I didn't realize it...

"What are you staring at?" Seifer asked me with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

I didn't know what to say except for, "Um..." I shook my head and continued my drawing while I still had the side of Seifer's face memorized. He must've brushed my staring at him off because he didn't say anything else to me. Every few minutes I would glance up at Seifer and quickly back to my drawing before he could catch me again. I didn't understand why Seifer was just sitting there by himself, the fact that he was just staring at the wall or something was even more unusual.

About five minutes later I was finally finished with the drawing of Seifer and I thought it was perfection. I turned my gaze back up to Seifer and stared once again at his amazing looks. I was smiling with the thought of him being my boyfriend and how unlikely that was. He quickly jerked his head back to facing me and saw me staring once again. I could feel myself blush out of embarrassment.

"What in the hell is your problem?!" Seifer yelled at me. I was taken aback with the fierceness of his voice as he asked me that question. I swallowed and stood up. I made my way over to him slowly, holding his potrait facing away from him so he couldn't see it. I stopped right beside him and looked down at my drawing. I took a deep breath and handed Seifer the drawing of him. He looked at it for a bit and then back up to me. I ran my hand through my white bangs out of nervousness, which i forgot was put up in a ponytail, along with the rest of my black hair.

"Did you draw this?" he asked. I nodded and then he asked, "why?"

I shrugged my shoulders and replied, "I don't know. It just seemed like the perfect moment to capture you..." I could feel my face burning hot again. Seifer laughed and I looked back at him.

He wasn't looking at me but at the drawing. "This is amazing!" I smiled at him and he handed the drawing back to me. "Keep that safe because it may become famous one day." He gave me a smirk and I nodded. I closed the sketchpad and put it back into the backpack that I had slung over my shoulder. I also threw my pencils back into the bottom pocket.

I made eye contact with Seifer and told him shyly, "I guess I will head to my next class."

I turned to leave before Seifer asked, "What's your name?"

I looked over my shoulder, "Eternity."

"Would you maybe wanna go out somewhere sometime?" Seifer asked. My throat caught my breath while I tried not to gasp audibly. Here was one of my dream guys asking me out! "I guess that's a no then." Seifer said.

I shook my head and said, "No...I mean yes!...I mean...I'd like that Seifer."

Seifer smiled at me and asked, "You know who I am?"

I gave a small chuckle and answered, "Of course I do, who doesn't? Of course there is one thing I'd like you to do for me saying yes to your question..."

He cocked his eyebrow at me, "And that is?"

I nodded to his gunblade propped against the table. "If you teach me how to handle a gunblade."

Seifer's face showed his surprise, "Don't you already have a weapon? It is a recommendation for you to have a weapon before you become a SeeD after all, not to mention being a student here."

I shrugged, "I want to be a well-rounded fighter. I mean, I want to learn how to use every weapon, that way, if I am ever in trouble, at least I can defend myself better with multiple skills. Besides, magic is my strength."

"What do you use as your primary weapon at the moment?" he seemed interested in me handling multiple weapons, then again he loved to fight and everybody in the Garden knew that.

"I use the longbow for my training. It is good to have a distance between you and your enemies, especially if they are enemies who use hand to hand combat."

"That's true," Seifer thought this over. "In that case let's hang out later in the training room, not as a date, but as training. It will also help us get to know each other a little better." He flashed his perfect white teeth at me in a smile.

"Okay!" I gleamed and did a little skip as I walked out of the cafeteria.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After classes that day, Seifer and I made our way to the Training Center. He loaned me one of his old gunblades for the training session, and I noticed as I walked with Seifer, all of the girls we passed had disappointment written on their faces at the sight of 'their' Seifer with a girl other than themselves. I had to admit I was beaming with pride.

After we had gone into the Training Center, we stood outside the safe area and Seifer taught me some basic gunblade moves. It took me about ten minutes to master the moves with the air slashing, how I would do against monsters, I had no idea because the strain of my wrist from the blows will be something I haven't dealt with before.

Finally Seifer and I went into the actual training area to test out my new skills. We encountered a Grat. It looked like a large plant with tentacles for arms and it had the ability to spit out poison, sleep and darkness. We both held out gunblades, Seifer with only one hand and I with both hands. I had the dull edge against my left shoulder for support. I ran at the grat and brought the gunblade down in a diagonal motion. The blade cut through the plant-like monster and green ooze began to come out of the slash I made.

"Very nice Eternity," Seifer praised me. I smiled as I made my way back to my original position beside Seifer. Seifer then ran over to the grat and he also made a diagonal slash, however he only used one hand to do his. I imagined he had done this so many times that he had developed the strength to use only one hand.

Seifer rejoined me and I smiled at him. He smiled back at me. We continued like this for about thirty minutes before he asked me, "So, how old are you Eternity?"

"Fourteen," I answered. "How about you?"

"Sweet sixteen," Seifer replied.

"Cool," I told him. "I cannot wait until I'm sixteen. Then I can drive."

"Being sixteen isn't all that special. It's just a number," he said.

I shrugged my shoulders, "Perhaps. I guess I will just have to wait until I'm that age to find out."

"That's right," Seifer smirked at me as he ran to attack another Grat. After he sliced the monster in half, he ran back over to me and a Grat decided to pound on Seifer. He got the worse part of the thorny tentacles which left him bloodied. "Damn that hurt!" he exclaimed.

I decided to take a chance and use my magic. You see, I am a Sorceress, the most feared humans on the planet. They are feared because it is said Sorceresses get their power from the goddess Hyne herself. Sorceresses are also feared because throughout history, many have used their powers for their own evil desires. The most recent were the Sorceress Wars, which were a war among Sorceresses to see who the strongest was and whomever was the strongest sought to rule the world.

Since then, Sorceresses, good or bad have been hunted down and killed. The ironic thing is, SeeD, the special force that is trained to fight Sorceresses, are trained in this very Garden as well as two other Gardens throughout the world. Stranger still is that I am training to become a SeeD. I have kept my identity hidden for many years now from everybody, including the Headmaster.

I used a Cure spell on Seifer and his wounds completely healed. Seifer looked at me in shock and asked, "How in the hell did you get a minor Cure spell to do the same thing as a Curaga???"

I giggled and simply told him, "My strength is magic."

"Still, nobody but a Sorceress can cast a minor spell like that and make it that strong!" My breath caught in my throat in a gasp. Seifer noticed and asked, "You are, aren't you? You are a Sorceress??" I held my head in shame and nodded.

A few minutes passed in silence. Finally, Seifer replied, "Your secret is safe with me Eternity...it isn't my place to tell people what you are, I believe that's your duty, when you are ready..." he trailed off and I looked up at him.

I smiled and told him, "Thank you Seifer..." Seifer nodded.

We continued training and Seifer asked at one point, "So...do you have a Knight yet?"

I glanced at him and asked, "A Knight? What do you mean?"

Seifer chuckled at my question and answered, "Every Sorceress has a Knight. A person to protect them from anybody or anything that would want to harm them."

"I don't need protection," I reprimanded.

"I didn't think you did, but it would be nice to be safe wouldn't it? I mean, what if your powers stopped working for some reason and then you would need somebody to back you up?"

I looked cautiously around us to make sure nobody was listening into our conversation. Seifer must've noticed because he told me, "Don't worry, we may be the only ones in the Training Center right now. Everybody else is probably in Balamb socializing or something."

Finally I asked, "Would you like to be my Knight Seifer?"

I looked at Seifer and seen the big grin on his face, "You bet! My dream is to become a Sorceress' Knight because, well...I think it's romantic." Seifer stood with his gunblade in the ground, and both hands were resting on the hilt. "You know...after a while, the bond between us will strengthen and we should be able to have a telepathic link. That way, you will know when I am in trouble and vice versa."

"Really?" I asked, truly interested in the prospect now.

"That's what I heard, or rather read, in a book in the library. They have lots of books about Sorceresses and magic. There is one in particular called 'A Complete Book of Sorceresses and Magic.' It's awesome because it even talks about Guardian Forces and some theories on how they came about."

"That book sounds interesting...but what will people think if I checked it out?" I asked him.

Seifer laughed at that. "It's a library in Garden. We are supposed to study on Sorceresses if we want to become SeeD! It's pretty much a requirement." I laughed along with him because of the reasoning Seifer pointed out, which was something I forgot about.

Seifer wiped his brow, "Whew! That was quite a workout today. I usually don't train for this long." He looked at me and continued, "So Eternity...same time tomorrow?" I nodded in agreement. He cleared his throat out of nervousness and said, "You know...we don't have to only train...I mean...Maybe we can do something besides training every once in awhile...I mean..."

"Like a date?" I asked. I could see his cheeks blush slightly.

"Y-yeah...like a date...that is if you want to..." Seifer quickly said.

"You know Seifer, you don't have to be embarrassed to ask me out on a date. Most of the girls in this Garden are after you to become their boyfriend."

"Well, I am not asking most of the girls in the Garden, I am asking you...wait a minute, I didn't say anything about being your boyfriend!" Seifer exclaimed.

I laughed and replied, "I know, I am the one who said it. And I said most of the girls want you to be their boyfriend."

"Yeah but you are the one who mentioned the boyfriend part," Seifer pointed out.

"Well..." I began.

"Do you want me to be your boyfriend?" Seifer interupted. "We only officially met today."

"Well," I shrugged. "I've had my eye on you for awhile now..." I admited. "Besides, isn't that what a Knight is? A boyfriend who protects their girlfriend?"

Seifer's big grin returned and he leaned on the hilt of his gunblade Hyperion. "I guess you can say that. So in other words, you agreeing to me being your Knight is like agreeing to dating me?"

"I guess so," I smiled at him.

"Sweet!"
