Vincent slowly opened his to find a bright figure standing over him.
"Hehe, good morning sleepy-head, or shall I say good afternoon"
Vincent wearily looked at the clock and saw it was 1:12 in the afternoon.
He shot out of bed at that instant and ran to get dressed.
"Rinoa! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?!?!?!"
"I'm sorry! I just thought that you would want to sleep for longer! I
mean, you are always at work until so late, and I just thought that you
might want to relax on a Saturday."
Vincent stopped right where he was and looked over at her, "Its a
Saturday?"
Rinoa nodded cheerfully then embraced him in a tight hug.
"I'm so happy you are here with me," she said quietly.
Vincent wrapped his arms around her waist, before picking her up.
"You know, since you didn't wake me up, you are going to have to be
punished," he said chuckling a little and grinning evilly.
Rinoa smacked him on the arm playfully as he lay over her on the bed and
bent down to kiss her lightly.
She ran her fingers through his dark hair and returned the kiss. He tipped
her chin up lightly with his hand and gently pressed his lips to hers.
"I love you..." she whispered almost silently.
Just then a bullet flew through the window shattering the glass.
The bullet slammed into Vincent's left shoulder as he cried out in pain.
Rinoa shot up and glanced out the window just as another shot rang
through.
She ducked just in time to avoid the speeding shot, but her hand landed on
a sharp shard of glass piercing her skin.
Vincent swallowed the pain and stumbled to his feet, reaching for his gun.
He rapidly grabbed the gun and ran down the stairs, loading his gun as he
went.
Just as he opened the door, the car that the gunman were in sped off.
"Goddamn SeeD's!!" He yelled furiously, dropping his gun and clasping his
shoulder.
Rinoa stumbled down the stairs grasping her hand and on a mad search for
medical tape. She ran into the bathroom and snatched it up, quickly
running to the kitchen for a wet rag.
She looked over at Vincent and saw him trying to hold back his pain.
She ran over to him and wrapped the wet cloth around his wound.
"Who the hell was it?!" She asked.
"Who do you think? It was the SeeD again! Goddamn them!
He turned and looked out the door.
"YA! DO YOU HEAR THAT?!! DAMN YOU SEED!!!
Rinoa sighed and pulled him gently back inside.
He looked down at her and pushes a stray hair that was dangling in front
of her face. He bent down and kissed her softly. She kissed back in the
same fashion before they heard a car pull up outside.
Vincent walked over and peered out the window.
"They're back." He said calmly.
"They never give up!" She said as she wrapped a wet cloth around her own
wound.
"I know, but there's nothing we can do..."
Rinoa walked over to the other window and also looked out. Standing in
front of the car was a younger man holding a gunblade with some sort of
carving on the side of it, and beside him another man with shiny blondish
hair also grasping a gunblade.
She scanned the first man with her eyes. White tee-shirt with a black
leather jacket over it. The man looked somewhat familiar to her. Rinoa
grasped the rings hanging around her neck and held them tightly.
I know him from somewhere!! she thought to herself .
Ever since that day after the accident, she couldn't remember a thing
about her past.
~Past~
"Rinoa, get up!" Squall said standing over her, trying to get her up out
of his bed before anyone decided to come say good morning to him and find
himself and Rinoa in this predicament.
"Rinoa! Please! I can't get caught with you in here!" Squall whispered in
a harsh tone.
Rinoa rolled over onto her back and looked up at Squall tiredly.
"Its about time..." Squall said as he sat down beside her on the bed and
smiled down at her.
He bent down and kissed her lips softly, as she quickly kissed back.
She smiled up at him.
"I think that's the perfect way to be woken up," she said giggling softly.
Squall took her in his arms and kissed her again, before Zell barged into
the dorm room.
"Woah! My bad!" Zell said, quickly walking out....
~Present~
Rinoa snapped out of her memory just as a bullet flew towards the window .
She ducked down right before the glass shattered above her.
Squall calmly walked to the door, and turned the knob, slowly opening it.
Vincent grabbed Rinoa and tried to scramble up the stairs.
Rinoa stopped and looked back at the young SeeD standing there, who was
followed by the other man with the gunblade.
Squall looked straight at her, "Rinoa?" he spoke softly.
"I...I thought you were dead..." he said almost in a whisper.
He calmly walked up to her just as Vincent realized that Rinoa hadn't come
all the way up the stairs.
oh no... she doesn't remember him...does she? Please say she
doesn't...please...please... Vincent thought nervously.
Rinoa walked down the stairs and met him. She looked up into his familiar
eyes.
"I...feel like this is de'ja vu," Rinoa said quietly, gazing into his
eyes.
"Rinoa...don't you remember me?" Squall said, pushing a stray hair out of
her face.
Vincent walked down the stairs and stood next to Rinoa at the bottom.
"Would you mind calling of your men before they screw my house with bullet
holes even more?" Vincent said, suttely scolding Squall.
"Oh, yeah, sorry..." Squall said, stepping out the door and giving the cue
to hold fire.
"Squall, may I talk to you personally?"
Squall...I know that name.... Rinoa thought to herself.
"oh, sure," Squall replied.
Vincent lead Squall into the kitchen and motioned him to have a seat.
"It's about Rinoa..."
Rinoa stood at the bottom of the stairs wondering what Vincent and
"Squall" were talking about in there.
She looked over at the other man who was still in the doorway.
He looked back at her, but quickly turned the other way.
"Hello," She said softly.
He nodded, "Hi…" he said almost in a whisper.
"What is your name sir?" She addressed him.
"It doesn't matter…"
"Hey, tell me please, come on, I wanna know!"
"Seifer…"
Her eyes widened as she stared at him. I know him!! I know I do!! But
from where I don't know…
Rinoa…Rinnie…so you are alive…after all this time… He thought to
himself.
Just then Cloud and Tifa ran up the driveway past the waiting SeeD car.
The pushed Seifer aside as they entered the house.
Seifer shot them both a cold glare, but quickly turned his thoughts back
to Rinoa.
"Rinoa! What's going on?? Is everything okay??? We heard gunshots again,"
Tifa stated, looking over at Seifer.
"Yea, everything's fine at the moment…" Rinoa said, still having her eyes
fixed on Seifer, but then turning to look at the hall to the kitchen.
Vincent started to explain to Squall what was going on.
"It was after you all fought Ultimecia…" he started…
~ Flashback ~
Squall bent down and kissed Rinoa. The whole ballroom watched as the
sleeping lion was awoken.
Just then the garden shook with great force, knocking the majority of the
crowd over.
Squall held Rinoa close to him and looked over the side of the garden to
see what was going on.
There was monsters climbing up the side of the garden, digging their
claws into the Gardens sides. They were climbing up from all sides, as if
sent to destroy it.
Squall, Irvine, Zell, Rinoa, Quistis, and Selphie all prepared to battle
with them.
Seifer looked around but quickly decided not to get involved. He walked
away quickly and ran into the halls, only to find a few of the uninvited
guests wondering around the halls. He pulled out his gunblade and started
to slice them away.
Squall, Rinoa, Irvine, Selphie, Zell, and Quistis all pulled out their
weapons just as the monsters jumped over the side of the balcony, and
started to fight.
Just them one of the monsters came up behind Rinoa and shoved her into the
balcony hard, knocking her over the side and sending her plummeting to the
ground. She smashed into the ground with a great impact and was quickly
knocked unconscious.
~Present~
"Vincent who the hell was behind all that?" Squall demanded to know.
"Would you believe me if I said… the Turks?"
"Wha…?"
"Ya, it was them…they didn't know what to do with Rinoa when she had
fallen next to them, so they brought her here for me to take care of. When
she had regained conciseness, she didn't remember anything except her
name…"
"Rinoa…" Squall started, "We looked everywhere for her afterward, even
Seifer came down to look for her. He looked almost as concerned as I was."
"So now why were you attacking us?" Vincent questioned, rubbing his wound
on his shoulder gently.
"I thought I already said why…hmm…oh well…Cid said that there was another
sorceress that had been revealed, and that was located here. So… it was
our orders to destroy her." Squall answered calmly.
"So…Seifer, want a tour of his house?" Rinoa asked him as Cloud and Tifa
pressed their ears against the door to the kitchen, trying to catch the
conversation between Vincent and Squall.
"Sure…" He said quietly, his memories of Rinoa and him together came
rushing back to him.
"Okay," She said and grabbed his wrist leading him around the small house,
pointing out everything. For the final thing, she pulled him outside to
show him the spectacular view from the house.
She pointed out over the left side of the land, naming the names of the
houses in the town of Nimbelham. Then she pointed to the right, noting the
wonderful sunset that was going on.
Seifer studied her face, not really paying attention to what she was
saying.
He leaned his mouth down to her ear, about to tell her how he still had
feelings for her when Vincent and Squall came out of the house.
"Rinoa…" Squall started
"Who do you want to stay with?" Vincent asked her bluntly.
"huh?" she said, confused at the moment.
"Do you want to stay here with me? Or go back with the SeeD? Squall wants
you to go back with him and the others. Its totally up to you."
She looked around her, glancing at Vincent, then Squall, then Seifer, then
to Tifa and Cloud in the background.
"Erm…I er…I don't remember anything of my past, and Vincent, Cloud, Tifa,
and all their friends seems like all I have, so everything I have is here.
So…I must stay here." She stated with a clearly weak voice.
Squall and Seifer glanced at each other, then they both looked at Rinoa,
which Vincent was embracing.
"Oh…okay," Squall said, his voice rough.
Seifer and Squall turned and walked back through the house and out the
door.
