A/N: Hey, just a random idea I thought of. Ok, my friend SasukeUchiha10 helped. Let me know what you think. Ok? The name Sara is pronounced Saara. Like Gaara in Naruto?

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VIII. If I did, there'd be a sequel to it. And this would be the sequel. Just a lot more fighting.

Eyes on You

Chapter 1

Love. A simple four letter word. Described by some as a deep,tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense or underlying oneness. Rinoa Heartilly knew what love was and knew what she was feeling.

Did he feel the same way? She always wondered that. Or was he just acting? Pretending to show emotion to lead her on. He didn't speak his feelings much, so she wouldn't know until he said so. Which wouldn't be for awhile she knew. Love. She'd always wanted it, and now that she had it, she was doubting it.

"Mommy?"

A little girl with black hair bound in pigtails and deep chocolate eyes looked up at her mother, who was playing the piano.

"Yes, sweetie?" The mother responded.

"Do you love Daddy?"

The mother looked startled at the question. She'd never expected a four year old to say something like that. And then her own daughter had asked her.

"Well," the mother began, "let me tell you a story."

The little girl climbed up into her mother's lap, happy to hear a story. She snuggled up close to her mother and the mother wrapped her arms protectively around the girl.

"A long time ago, before Mommy and Daddy knew each other, before you were born, Mommy was a piano player at a hotel. There Mommy had always wanted to sing, but never knew a song. There was this man, who always came to hear Mommy sing. Mommy liked this man. A lot."

"Daddy?" the little girl looked up at her mother questioning what she had said.

"No. This man's name was Laguna. Daddy's name is Fury. This guy became Mommy's friend. Mommy loved him. But then he left."

"Why?" the little girl said. "Why Mommy?"

"He had to go do his job. So he left Mommy, and never came back. Then Mommy met Daddy. Daddy helped Mommy through her sadness. So they got married and along came my little Rinoa. I do love your daddy, but not in that way. I loved Laguna. I always wanted to see him again, constantly thinking of him. It was love."

"I hope that happens to me one day Mommy!"

End Flash

It had been two years since the defeat of Ultimecia. She was studying to become a SeeD, the exam days away. Squall had kissed her and it had never gone much further than that. But he never said the three little words that she had said so many times. It seemed pointless to even say it and sometimes she found herself wishing he would come out of his shell. Something was bothering him lately, and she wanted to find out what it was.

She found herself shivering, which was highly unusual in the warm Balamb air. She blanked out and found herself on the ground, breathing heavily.

Her sorceress attacks. They were becoming more and more frequent. She hadn't done any magic yet, which was good, but she didn't want to become uncontrollable and hurt any of her friends.

She picked herself up off the ground and sat staring at the starts. A shooting star flashed by and she found herself remembering the night of her first kiss with Squall. It was wonderful, for once he had shown his feelings, but Selphie wouldn't quit talking about it for days and days on end, and he grew farther away.

She knew that he cared for her. He knew that he really liked her. But love? She wanted to hear him say those 3 words. "I love you." She found herself saying the three words aloud and a small sigh escaped her lips.

"I love you, too," she heard a voice say. She turned around and saw Squall standing there, a small smile on his lips.

Rinoa smiled, ran up, and wrapped her arms around him. He wrapped his arms around her, accepting the embrace.

"You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that," she said, breaking the embrace and looking up at him.

"You don't know how long I've waited to say that," he grinned at her, and pulled her into a kiss.

She finally knew his true feelings. He did love her. All her doubts and thoughts seemed to dissolve as he kissed her.

They broke apart and he pulled her close.

"Squall?" she said, looking up at him.

"Hmmm?"

"I had another attack today..."

"What?" He pushed her away and looked at her. She could see anger and fear in his eyes. "Why didn't you tell me right away? Rinoa, we need to solve this."

"I'm sorry, but..."

"But nothing Rinoa. You could hurt someone this way, I don't want to risk it."

She looked down. She knew that this was a problem. She knew she could hurt somebody. And she knew she couldn't control it. Rinoa knew that this was dangerous and there had to be some way to stop it They would figure it out. Eventually.

"Squall?" She said, getting his attention. He thought way too much. Sometimes she wished he would share some of his thoughts. "We can figure this out. Together! I know we can! We just have to try."

-

He didn't like these thoughts. These thoughts that said bad stuff about Rinoa. Thoughts that were slowly starting to kill their relationship. All these times he'd wanted to say, "I love you" this little voice stopped him. This little voice that he didn't recognize. It wasn't his own. It was someone else's, though who's he couldn't pinpoint.

He turned over and looked at the sleeping figure of Rinoa. They had gone farther than he had ever imagined and he loved every second of it. Hyne she was beautiful. Her naked form was covered up with a sheet, showing her pale skin. Her her nose scrunched up as if she was going to sneeze, her hair was shining in the moonlight, making her look even more angelic.

"You loved tonight, didn't you," He looked up from the sleeping Rinoa to see a guy in a black cloak.

"Who are you?" Squall said, slipping on boxers and a pair of pants and getting up, being careful as not to disturb Rinoa.

"Don't worry as not to disturb her. It doesn't matter. I've sealed time anyway, so nobody can walk in on us. Nobody will ever know I was here unless you tell them, Squall Leonhart."

"You didn't answer me. Who are you?"

The guy laughed and walked toward Squall. "I'm someone very close to you. There's no need to show you now, but just to tell you, things are going to get rough from now on. I'm that little voice, you know, the one you hate, the one messing up your relationship with that girl."

So he was the voice. But what did he want. To separate him and Rinoa? To mess up their lives? Was he after Rinoa's powers?

Squall jerked forward and pulled down the guy's hood. What he saw was himself. A mirror version of his head. He gasped and fell to the ground in shock.

"Surprised?" the guy laughed again, picking up Squall and forcing him to stand. "I'm what is called, an Other. She has one too. Along with all your little friends. I think their names are Selphie Tilmitt, Zell Dincht, Seifer Almasy, Irivne Kinneas, Quistis Trepe, and Sara Pasha."

Sara Pasha? The name didn't register in his mind. He decided to figure out later.

"Others are created for people that have the power to change the world, people who can do extraordinary things. And it all starts with you."

Squall's "other" walked through the black portal that appeared. He heard the sound of heavy breathing coming from Rinoa's direction. He turned around and looked at the clock. 12:37. 12:38. So time was moving again.

He laid back down and thought about what he had just witnessed.

-

Studying for the SeeD test was hell. She hated it, hated every second of it. She was up late, again.

She yawned and pulled her long black hair out of the ponytail that was holding it up. Hair fell down to her pants line.

Sara Pasha had always wanted to become a SeeD. It had been her wish ever since she had been little, a junior classmen at Trabia Garden. When Trabia had been targeted with Galbadian Missiles, she transferred to Balamb Garden. Cid had welcomed her aboard, knowing that her fighting skills were top notch. Now, at 17 she was taking the SeeD test.

She yawned again, and started brushing her hair. After that she got back on her computer and started to study some more. The Written SeeD test was the next day and she was not prepared. She never studied for tests, but decided to try this one time. It was a last minute thing. At 10, she'd decided, I'm going to study.

There was a knock on her door and Sara got up to answer it. A short girl in a yellow dress and with brown hair walked in.

"Hey Selphie," Sara said.

"Hey Sara! You studying for the test? Well, I won't keep you. I just wanted to say hi to you!"

"Thanks," she replied.

"Gonna go! Irvy wants me back, just had to say hi to my newest friend!"

And with that, Selphie walked out the door.

Selphie was a character all right. They'd met the other day in the cafeteria. Selphie was talking to some guy, Zell and Sara was in a hurry. Hastily bumping into Selphie, she got up and apologized. Selphie and her got to talking and they hit it off. They had met a few times in passing at Trabia, but had never really talked.

She went back to studying.

-

"Sara Pasha- Student ID number 45505- transferred from Trabia Garden 2 years ago after the Galbadian missile attack."

Squall just had to look up this unknown girl that was going to have some connection to him soon. She was listed on the Garden database and Squall was looking at her, trying to decide how he'd talk to her, get her involved in their group. She would have to be with them soon enough, so he had to get a head start.

Seifer was involved too. He didn't want the bastard to lay even a finger on Rinoa, after what he had done last time. He would sacrifice her, the only one that had believed in him, for his own selfish gains.

She rolled over in her sleep, and she wrapped her arm around Squall's. He smiled at the gesture, even if it was just in her sleep. But she had a pained look on her face.

-

She was running. But running from what? She was in a long tunnel, and empty tunnel that seemed to go on forever. What was she running from? What was she doing?

Rinoa stopped to catch her breath. She sat against the side wall, sweat beading her forehead. Where was everyone? She felt alone.

She heard a baby's cry. The baby sounded like it was in pain! She had to go help it! Rinoa jumped up and ran toward the baby's cry.

She reached a circular room. In the very middle sat a crib. Rinoa ran over to it and saw a baby boy, crying. She reached in and picked the baby up, soothing it's cries.

It looked up and her and Rinoa studied it's features. She had to get out of here and find the parents. She thought maybe she could recognize who the baby belonged too if she looked close enough.

The baby had a mop of black hair on it's head. She pushed the stray hairs off of his face. His eyes were a stormy blue, with flecks of brown speckled all over the eyes. The baby giggled at her touch and then it hit her.

This was her and Squall's son! It had to be! It had Squall's eyes, with the brown flecks being hers. The black hair was hers, but the way it grew reminded her of Squall. The smile was Squall's. Looking closer at the baby, she knew this was theirs. He had Squall's mouth, her nose, his skin shade.

She had to get him out! It was up to her. For her son.

She held the baby close and ran. A shadow could be seen farther on. She ran until she reached Selphie. Something wasn't right about her. She wasn't cheerful. She acted like something was wrong.

"Selphie? Selphie?" the darker haired girl questioned. There was no reply. Selphie stretched out and arm and pointed farther down the hall, where another shadow could be seen. She started to run toward it when Selphie fell to the ground. She turned around and looked back at Selphie.

"Selph?" she questioned. The baby started to cry. "It's ok, it's ok." The baby stopped crying at Rinoa's voice. She kissed his forehead and looked at Selphie. Selphie wasn't breathing! Rinoa ran.

The next shadow was Zell. He did the same thing and collapsed. She ran and the same thing happened with Seifer, Irvine, Quistis, and a girl she didn't recognize. Then she reached Squall.

"Squall!"

"Yeah, Rin?"

"You're talking!"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I? Give him here."

Rinoa handed over the baby who smiled at his father.

"That was a mistake Rinoa."

She turned toward the voice and saw someone in a black hood. Squall and the baby weren't moving.

"I'm going to kill them both with you watching!" The guy laughed manically and then their was a pool of crimson blood on the ground next to Squall and the baby. She screamed.

-

Rinoa shot up. So it was just a dream. "Rinoa? You ok?" she heard Squall's voice.

"Squall!" she cried and wrapped her arms around him. He wrapped his arms around her, as to comfort her.

"It was just a dream..." she muttered. "Just a dream."
