Always Together, Eternally Apart
Chapter 6
Preparations
Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, I don't own FF8 or any of it's characters, but I own Alexander Hanson.
"Alright, is everything done?" Squall asked as he cleaned Lionheart. It shone a bright fluorescent cerulean as he ran the cloth up and down the blade, power flickering through it. "Yes. We called Alexander and he's ready for a fight." Quistis replied sullenly. "Good. Quistis, do me a favor and go get Seifer will please." Squall asked. "Okay, I'll be right back." 'Her face brightened a little. I wonder what that's all about.' Squall thought. But that didn't matter right now.
"Yeah Squall? What is it?" Seifer questioned as he walked into the room. "I need to talk to you. Sit." He ordered, gesturing to the couch above him. He sat, and Squall began. "I need you to bring your gunblade along." He said plainly. "Why? Isn't this your battle?" he snapped back. There he went again, being the ass that he used to be. 'Why do I slip into that habit every once in a while?' Seifer pondered. "Don't even start with me Seifer. I am not in the mood," Squall cautioned. Seifer mumbled an apology, and let Squall continue.
"I wanted you to bring Hyperion along so that if something should happen to me, you can finish him off." Seifer then realized just how serious this was. It was like being slapped in the face with a ruler. The truth hurt. Hanson could kill Squall just as easily as Squall could kill Hanson. It had been decided. Seifer would guard Squall with his life. "Thank you. But remember Rinoa too. I'd rather you protect her than me." "You have my word on it Squall. Rinoa shall not perish." 'Well, that's the corniest line I've ever heard myself say.' Seifer thought and laughed a little on the inside. Squall nodded, now reassured. "Remember about Rinoa. Keep in mind also what I told you to tell her for me." Seifer nodded, and Squall put the dove beside his friend before leaving for the flower field.
"Alright everybody, he's gone. Let's get ready."
Authors Note: Alright, I know it's really short, but I couldn't fit it into chapter 7. I hope this stimulates people for a while, because chapter 7 won't be up for a while. I have to make some changes to it before I even type it. So bear with me ok? Don't give out on me my faithful readers! J Seriously though, you guys are what keep me going. Thank you. As always, please R+R!!!
