oh yeas...um to answer a question: When Squall was younger, he was told that his mother died during childbirth. He grew up believing that until he met Ellone who showed him his past and th truth. That's why Raine "died during childbirth,"( Squall was just misinformed ^^)

**Chapter 9**
Rinoa slammed the door and slid down against the door, panting and heart
beating furiously. She held her hand to her forehead.
"W-what just happened?" whispered Rinoa, still shocked at what just
happened.
'Ask me a question I can answer. Ask me if I love you.'
Right after he had said those words, Rinoa became scared and ran from the
hospital. Did he really meant what he said? Why did he had to say those words? She
was in a vulnerable state. She wasn't ready for this...
Rinoa hugged her knees and cried.
~*~*~*~
Selphie was worried. After Rinoa went, Squall went and followed her.
Naturally, Selphie and Irvine went to investigate.
"I thought I told you two to wait!" scolded Squall. Selphie smiled sweetly.
"Aaww, Squall! You know I can never wait!" said Selphie. Squall just sighed.
He looked around the crowded street for any sign of Rinoa. She was gone.
"Hey, I know where Rinoa's apartment is. Maybe we can find out where she
went," suggested Irvine.
"Great idea! Let's hurry, then!" said Selphie.
When they arrived at Rinoa's apartment, the first thing Squall noticed was the
papers spread over her coffee table. He picked them up and read its contents. His
eyes widened when he realized it was information on him. There were also instructions to assassinate him.
Rinoa is an assassin? he thought. If she was supposed to
assassinate me, why am I not dead? She could've killed me any time we were
alone...
"What are you reading, Squall?" asked Irvine. Irvine read the name "Adel" out
loud.
"Adel...Shit, Rinoa's gonna try to assassinate Adel!" exclaimed Squall.
"What!? Why would Rinoa kill anyone?" asked Selphie.
"God, no! That woman's dangerous! We have to find Rinoa quickly! And I
know where!" said Irvine.
As soon as they arrived at the building, Squall stopped them from entering.
"I'll go stop Rinoa. You two better call the police," said Squall before he ran
inside.
"Squall!" cried Selphie. Irvine stopped her from going in.
"C'mon, we better call an ambulance before anything drastic is done,"
explained Irvine. Selphie looked at the building.
Rinoa, Squall...Please be careful....
~*~*~*~
A doctor came out. Selphie quickly got up from her seat and went up to the
"Um...There are two patients, Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly. Are they
alright?" asked Selphie.
"Mr. Leonhart is doing fine. He was quite lucky, actually. A few more
centimeters towards his heart and he could've died. In fact, you can go visit him now
in room 321. As for Ms. Heartilly. Well...she ran out of the hospital...," answered the
doctor. Selphie grabbed hold of the startled doctor's coat.
"WHAT!? How could you let a patient get away!?" cried a hysterical Selphie.
Irvine put a hand on her shoulder.
"Calm down, Sefie. Let go of the doc. I'm sure Rinoa's alright," calmed Irvine.
Selphie let go of the doctor and smiled sheepishly.
"Um...Sorry. Heh, heh. Um, yea..." apologized Selphie. Irvine and Selphie
slowly stepped into Squall's room.
"Squallie!! Are you alright!? What happened!?" cried Selphie as she flung
herself next to Squall.
"Sefie, he's asleep!" whispered Irvine as he went over to Selphie and helped
her up. Selphie giggled nervously.
"Oh, yea..." she muttered. Squall's hand began to twitch.
"Squallie! You're alive!!!" exclaimed Selphie, hugging Squall.
"Ooooowww!" whined Squall. Selphie retreated, blushing.
"Sorry, Squallie. I'm just so happy you're ok!!!" explained Selphie. Squall
frowned.
"Whatever...And don't EVER call me 'Squallie' again!" warned Squall. Selphie
just grinned.
"Man, that must have been one helluva fight, Squall. Mind telling us what
happened?" asked Irvine.
"First, get me some drugs! God, I feel like I'm in hell!" moaned Squall.
"I'll go get Quistis!" said Irvine, leaving the room.
"Quistis?" asked Selphie. "Oooh, Quistis! OMG! Does she live here!? Wait up,
Irvy, I wanna see Quisty too!" Selphie followed Irvine.
Squall leaned back in to his bed as the memories started flooding back.
"Are you Squall Leonhart?" Squall turned his head towards the voice.
"...Yes..." said Squall, cautiously eyeing the stranger.
"Ms. Trepe has told me much of you," explained the stranger as he closed the
door and limped to a nearby chair. "My name is Seifer Almasy."
"Who the hell are you?" asked Squall, frowning.
"I am...was Rinoa's boyfriend," sighed Seifer. Squall looked at him
questioningly.
"How come I never heard of you?" asked Squall.
"She never told you?"
"No." Seifer sighed.
"Well, I a--was. I think you should know that Rinoa's an assassin," informed
Seifer. Squall remembered finding the papers in Rinoa's apartment.
"She's not just an assassin either. I think you should know about the Black
Rose..." said Seifer.
"The mercenary who leaves a black rose with her victims..." mumbled Squall.
"Rinoa is Black Rose."
