Thanks for all the wonderful reviews!!!! On with the story!
Seifer blinked as a bright light hit his unaccustomed eyes. He moaned as pain blared into his mind sending him almost unconscious again. He closed his eyes and placed his hand onto his aching head.
"Welcome back Seifer."
A calm, cool voice said. He opened one eye and looked up at the kind face of Dr. Kadowaki. He moaned again and covered his eyes with his hand.Dr. Kadowaki smiled at him and turned to her next patient. The pretty blond, Quistis lay deathly still on the bed next to Seifer's her hand hanging over the bed limply. Her face was colored with an ugly bruise and a gash was on her left cheek. He glanced at her and winced.
"Will she be ok?"
He asked his voice full of concern. Dr. Kadowaki raised an eyebrow as she stopped dabbing the dried blood from Quistis. She turned and looked at the handsome boy and smiled.
"She'll be fine, Seifer."
Seifer nodded and tried to stand up but the pain came back flashing red in his mind. He moaned and fell back onto the bed. Dr. Kadowaki smirked at him and took a needle off of a table that sat in the middle of him and Quistis. The shot contained blue liquid in it, she quickly placed it into Quistis' arm. Seifer watched as the blue liquid was flowed into her arm... color slowly begin to reappear in Quistis' cheel and the ugly bruises slowly began to fade.
"What's that?"
He asked as the doctor then placed the used shot on her table and grabbed the one next to it also filled with blue liquid and turned to Seifer.
"Curaga."
Quistis moaned and slowly opened her eyes. Then shot up ignoring the pain in her arm.
'Where am I? What happened?'
She heard a soft voice say 'curaga' she turned to see Dr. Kadowaki advancing on Seifer holding a needle. Seifer's eyes widened in fear as she kept taking steps near him. Seifer scrambled off the bed shaking his head.
Quistis quickly covered her mouth to keep from laughing as Seifer fell off the bed as he tried to get away from the approaching doctor.
"Hey! Get that away from me!"
He yelled and scrambled on the floor until he hit the wall his eyes widening even more, all the previous pain forgotten.
Dr. Kadowaki shook her head and laughed.
"I never figured you as one to be scared of a harmless needle Seifer! Come here and get it over with it'll only take a second!"
Seifer shook his head and quickly stood up avoiding her and reaching for his trench coat that had a horrible rip in it and blood stains. Quistis cleared her throat and stood up as Seifer limped out the door, flinching from the pain.
"Dr. Kadowaki, may I please go now?'
Dr. Kadowaki turned to her and nodded, smiling. Quistis slowly stood up and walked to the door opening it and glanced out to see Seifer talking to Rajjin and Fujjin.
"Quistis, before you go, remember to take a curaga tonight. Oh and here, see if you can get Seifer to take this."
Dr. Kadowaki said walking to the door and handing the shot to her. Quistis nodded a wicked smile forming on her full lips. She took the shot from the doctor and put her hand that held the shot behind her back and made her way to Seifer.
"Seifer..."
She said in a husky voice as she neared him. Seifer turned to her and growled. Fujjin and Rajjin stared at her in shock.
"What do you want Trepe."
Quistis acted hurt and frowned.
"I only stopped by to tell you thank you and if there's anything... Anything I can do for you just let me know."
She said moving closer to him,swaying her hips, till her face was a few inches from his. Seifer looked at her shocked, raising an eyebrow. Rajjin cleared his throat and glanced nervously at Fujjin who was glaring at Quistis sending daggers out of her eyes.
"What do you have up your sleeve?"
He sneered at her. Quistis only smiled and ran her hand that wasn't holding the shot up his chest, as the one that was holding the needle touched his arm softly sending shivers down Seifer's arm.
"Only your well being..."
She said in a deep voice. Seifer looked at her, his eyebrows knitting together. Something just wasn't right here...
Seifer's eyes widened as he felt a sharp, small sting. He glanced down at his arm whre Quistis had been rubbing and growled as he saw the needle sticking in it.
"Fuck! Oh shit!"
He yelled pulling away from Quistis as she pushed the top down letting all the fluid out and into his arm. She pulled it out and smiled at him and winked turning to run. Rajjin burst out laughing only to receive a blow from Fujjin in the stomach.
"NOT FUNNY!!!"
She yelled at him. Seifer growled holding his arm like a baby.
"Your gonna pay for that you bitch!"
He yelled at Quistis as she ran back to the Infirmary. She turned back at him and smiled when he called her a bitch and flipped him off, and dashed into the room with Dr. Kadowaki, laughing as she told the doctor about her victory.
Seifer growled and turned heading into the front foyer and walked out the front doors mumbling and cursing Quistis. Fujjin and Rajjin stood there looking at each other for a minute... Rajjin recovering from the blow that Fujjin gave him...
"It was funny you know..."
Rinoa and Squall sat outside beside each other, her head resting on his shoulder a small smile playing on her lips as Squall laced his hand with hers.
"I wonder where everyone is."
She said softly. Squall barely shrugged still conscious of Rinoa's head on his shoulder.
"I dunno."
He answered. Rinoa lifted her head off his shoulder and smiled at him. Squall returned her beautiful smile with one of his own, feeling his hearts swell with the love he felt for her... If only he could tell her.
Rinoa watched Squall as his emotions flooded into his eyes. She loved that about him... the way his emotions showed in his eyes... how he was so mysterious... and how he really, really needed her. She had never been needed before in her life, until she met him.
She brought her hand up and caressed his cheek gently. His eyes flicked back to hers and he smiled, warming her heart. He placed his forehead gently against hers, squeezing her hand gently.
"Awe! Yall are so cute!"
Rinoa and Squall quickly looked up to see Selphie clasping her hands together and a smile lighting up her face. Squall blushed and looked down. Rinoa laughed and smiled at the bubbly girl in front of her.
"Where's Zell?"
She asked her. Selphie smiled brighter and laughed.
"He's getting us hot dogs!"
Rinoa burst out laughing just as Seifer walked out of the school holding his now torn trench coat in one hand and rubbing his arm with the other mumbling.
"Hey Seify!"
Selphie called to him using his hated nickname. Seifer growled at her as he passed them.
"What do you want sunshine?"
Rinoa stared at him.
"What's your problem angel?"
He asked giving her a smile. Squall growled at him while Rinoa answered in a shocked voice.
"What... what happened to you?"
"Yeah cause you look like shit!"
Squall added with a smirk. Seifer narrowed his eyes at him.
"No one pulled your string Pubes!"
Squall stood up raising his fist but Rinoa pulled him back down. Seifer laughed and turned walking away calling over his shoulder,
"You better keep a chain on your boyfriend, Rinny, or he might wind up 6 feet under!"
Squall growled and clenched his fist as Zell walked up wrapping his arms around Selphie who giggled continentally. Zell raised an eyebrow at Squall, and then glanced to see Seifer push a guy down who had walked up to ask him something.
"What's his problem?"
Zell asked nodding his head towards Seifer. Rinoa shrugged and gently placed her hand over Squall's clenched one.
"Look there's Quisty!"
Selphie said jumping for joy in Zell's arms.
Quistis watched as Seifer left the school and growled. ' Stupid inconsiderate moron jerk..' she thought to herself.
"Quisty!"
Quistis flinched at the despised nickname and turned to see Selphie waving vigorously. Next to her was Zell, who was a little close to comfort for her, and Rinoa and... Squall. She gulped hard and made her way to the two couples.
"Hi everyone!"
She said smiling. Rinoa smiled at her and Squall continued to look down. Selphie giggled as Zell began kissing her softly.
They stood there for awhile discussing their first day back in school... Until...
"Hey Quisty?"
Quistis turned her attention to the bubbly red head next to her.
"Hmm?"
Selphie smiled slyly.
"What happened to you? You're a mess and so was Seifer... Did anything happen?"
Quistis sighed as everyone turned their attention to her. She fidgeted nervously as she told them of the incident that happened in the training center. Rinoa and Selphie sending each other knowing glances as she told them of Seifer rescuing her. She finished telling them of her victory with Seifer and the shot and Selphie giggled.
"You go girl!"
Rinoa chuckled softly and shook her head.
"Imagine! Seifer afraid of shots!"
Zell burst out laughing, cracking his knuckles.
"And he calls me chicken wuss! Oh he's never gonna hear the end of this!"
Squall just sat there quietly contemplating all that Quistis had told them.
"Seifer saved you?"
He asked amazed. Quistis nodded biting on her bottom lip. Squall shook his head amazed.
"That's just so...uncharacteristic of him..."
Rinoa smiled.
"Maybe there's more to it then meets the eye."
She said softly and Selphie nodded in agreement. Zell and Quistis looked at them confused and Squall went back to thinking...
Could Seifer have a soft spot for the one girl he's always hated?
