Bet you didn't see this one coming did you? But anyway I just a reminder I
don't own Final Fantasy and all that legal mumbo jumbo. Sorry the last
chapter was so short and kinda lame but I had to set it up for what's
coming. Hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 2
It had been twenty minutes since either of them had said anything. Fujin went back to her book as best she could but every now and then she would look up and see Zell looking at her. Zell started to think to himself, not about anything important just about how the week went and he suddenly wanted to know more about the silver headed girl in front of him. "So how did you lose you eye?" He said with abruptly.
She looked up at him, no one aside from a few people had ever asked her that. Not like she would tell most people that asked but she made it a point to not let anyone get too close to her or give them anything that they could use to spread rumors about her. But part of it was that most people didn't care enough about her to ask. "Idiot." She replied back.
Zell smiled as he looked down at the floor, "Yeah I figured you'd say something like that, it's not like we're close friend or anything like that. But that's ok it's not like we can't start now."
Fujin had kind raised an eyebrow to Zell's proposition. "How about this.you can ask me anything you want and I'll answer truthfully, and if you'll let me I'll as you something that you have to answer to honestly as well. Kinda like that truth or dare game but with out the stupid dares. What do you say?"
She nodded her head in agreement but still had an unsure look on her face. I wonder where he's going with this. She wondered. Who knows this might be interesting. Zell stared at her for another second to make sure she was really up to this.
"C'mon, this'll be fun. You can go first. I don't have anywhere else to be." He said with a large smile on his face.
"Library.girl?" She asked with a slight grin.
Zell let out a small groan. "You mean Amber? Why does every one always ask about her? Ok so I hung out with her at the party we had to celebrate our victory against Ultimacia and yeah she does hang out around me a lot. She's nice and really sweet, but I just see her as a friend. I know she feels a little stronger towards me but I just don't feel the same way she does. Good enough answer for you?" Fujin shook her head. "Second." Zell rolled his eyes at her. "Fine you can have two questions, but that will have to go for me too then." She then nodded her head in agreement.
"Nosey?" She said with an a rather accusing tone.
Zell put his arms behind his head and leaned back to look up at the ceiling. "Hm.why am I so nosey? Well let's just say I'm just curious about you. Now it's my turn, how close are you and Seifer?"
She was tired of having to speak out so much with him being a few seats away from her, so she got up and moved to the seat right in front of him. "Seifer.and I.just friends." She said with an almost sad tone. Zell could tell that there was something else there and tried to probe in a little deeper.
"You mean you've never felt anything for him?" He asked in a more sympathizing voice.
She looked away from him and at the desk in front of him. "Once.long time. Over him. Too much.about.himself."
Zell tried to cheer her up a little. "Yeah I bet that guy likes himself so much I wouldn't be surprised if he actually kissed himself in the mirror."
And for the first time in a long time, Zell had been able to do something that no one else around Fujin had. He made her laugh. It didn't last long and it wasn't the best laugh in to world but to both of them it was something beautiful. However once it was over Zell didn't want to stop getting to know her. So again he started with his third question knowing it was really her turn to go.
He wanted to sound sincere and to let her know that she could trust him so he asked her in a very soft tone. "So how did you lose your eye and voice?"
She hesitated a little but once she looked into his face she just couldn't help but to tell him. "Raining.was young.training.myself. T-rexaur.alone. Beat me. Screamed.too hard. T-rexaur.picked up.bit down.took out.eye.. throat.screamed. Parents.found me.hospital."
Zell put his hand up; he could tell saying so much was hard on her. He tried to piece her story together as best he could. "So it was raining. You were young and training alone, you thought you could take on a T-rexaur by yourself and once it beat you it picked you up in it's mouth and when it bit down it took out your eye and punctured your throat. When it was over you tried to scream again ending up hurting yourself more. Your folks found you took you to a hospital and I'm guessing with all the damage your body couldn't fully repair your voice. Am I right?"
She looked away again. "Affirmative." She replied.
He had a unique ability to just know what she was thinking, always trying to say. He didn't realize how good he was at it. But she did. He noticed a tear run down her cheek. I can't imagine how she must feel to always want to say more but can't bear the pain. To want to be just like everyone else but can't. He lifted her chin with his hand was they were facing each other. As they looked at each other they're faces started coming closer. When suddenly Seifer burst into the room shocking the two. Zell looked at the clock. It was 3:30 pm. His detention had been over for over an hour.
