Always Together, Eternally Apart
Chapter 7
Eclipse
Disclaimer: FF8 isn't mine but Alexander Hanson is. God I hate doing that.
"Seifer, hurry!" Quistis yelled across the hall. "Alright, alright I'm coming! Just a sec!" He shouted back as he grabbed Rinoa's ring that Squall proposed to her with. The dove cooed gently in his ear. "You recognize this, don't you?" he asked her. She cooed again, and he jogged out the door.
"Well, if it isn't Leonheart himself." Alexander said as Squall walked into the field. "Shut up Hanson. We came here to fight right? Then shut your trap." Squall snapped back. "Alright Leonheart, let's go." Alex pulled out is sword, which was similar to Shear Trigger. Except for the gun part. It had been cleaned to a shine, and it sparkled in the last of the setting sun. Squall unsheathed Lionheart just before the sun went down…
Rinoa struggled to get her clothes on when she was fully transformed. Seifer was getting kind of tired of having to look away every time he was with Squall or Rinoa. But oh well, it would be over soon. She looked up at him, and told him it was okay. Suddenly he remembered something. "Rinoa," he started, not sure if he could do this. "Squall wanted me to tell you something for him. He wanted me to tell you that no matter what happens when we try this, no matter if you or him should get hurt or killed, that he always loved you, and you excepting his proposal was the best thing that ever happened to him." He finished, almost out of breath. A tear started to well up in Rinoa's eye, but she quickly wiped it away. "Thanks for telling me Seifer. Okay, let's go. We've got work to do."
As they ran up the hill to the meadow, Rinoa could see the silhouette of Squall. He stood stock still, facing the man who had ruined her life. She sped up, almost leaving Seifer behind. As they reached the clearing, Rinoa screamed his name…
He turned sharply to find out where the cry had come from. Then he saw her. Even in the dark he could see her sparkling almond eyes, her soft alabaster skin, and her petite rounded face. He turned back to Alex. Grabbing hold of his shirt, he whispered furiously, "Look at her," He tried to look away, but Squall forced him to look up. "Look at me," he said, slightly louder this time. "Now," he was shouting at the moment, which then turned into a yell. He backed up until he was about 10 feet away from Rinoa. "Look at us. Look at us!" he yelled. Alex shook with fear, and finally was forced to look down at the ground.
Seifer watched this happening, and since he was the only one who knew about the cure, he whispered to Quistis, "It's over, the curse has been broken."
Squall looked back at the woman he had loved forever. She looked startled at the scene. Was it really him? Or would they get to the point of almost touching, and she would fly away? Nevertheless, she reached out to touch his gorgeous face. She smiled when he walked to her, flowers swishing underneath his feet. As they met, she fell into his arms like she had over 4 years ago at the Sorceress Memorial. He stroked her silky, jet-black hair, and she breathed a sigh of relief into his shoulder. It was finally over.
Seifer smiled when he saw the two lovers embrace. He looked over, and the smile quickly turned to a frown. Alex was getting ready to stab Squall from behind! Rinoa apparently saw this as well, and she screamed Squall's name, fearing for his life.
Alexander's eyes grew dark with an evil not known to any mortal. If he could not have Rinoa Heartilly, no one would. As he lifted the blade in the air, a man stepped in the way of it. He couldn't put the scalpel down in time. The blade sliced into this guy's side. And suddenly he realized who it was. It was Seifer. The one he had shared a dorm room with at the beginning of the year. Hyne, he hated this man. But he still felt pity for him as Seifer's features twisted with agony. He fell backward, into a cluster of daisies, blood flowing freely from the new wound. "NO!" Squall cried, and picked up Lionheart. "This will be the last time you hurt me Alexander Hanson." He said through gritted teeth before thrusting the gunblade into his heart, causing blood to spurt onto Squall. He fell back, and breathed one last time as blood trickled down the side of his mouth.
Squall ran back to Rinoa, gently took hold of her hand, and they bolted over to where Seifer was laying.
Quistis had his head in her lap, and she was stroking his hair, trying to calm him. Squall kneeled down on one knee, only to set it in a puddle of warm, scarlet liquid. Seifer looked over, smiling weakly. "I… told you… I'd… guard you both… with my life." He rasped. "But you're not going to die. We're going to get you to the Infirmary and you're going to be fine." Squall reassured. He laughed slightly. "It won't matter if I live or die now. Even if I die, I'll die knowing that you two are together and… happy." His face etched another one of pain, and Squall knew he was fading fast. "Quistis, I want you to carry Seifer's top half, I'll take the bottom. Hurry. Rinoa, you keep him awake." Squall ordered, and things were done immediately. Squall only prayed that his friend would make it through.
As they walked through the field, Seifer called for Rinoa. She asked him what was wrong, and he stuck the ring out to her. She gasped, and took it in her hand. She slipped it easily on her dainty finger, and looked to Squall.
He was beaming like never before, and she couldn't help but giggle when he realized she was looking at him, and the grim quickly turned to the usual scowl. "I saw that Squall Leonheart. You can't hide anything from me!" she teased. He retorted playfully, "What? I didn't do anything, I don't know what you're talking about." She chuckled again. If only she had a camera when he did that. He'd only smiled twice in his life, and the only picture she had of it was in her head. But that was better than nothing at all. Seifer laughed as well, but went into a rasping cough from the strain. Rinoa turned back to him, looked deep in his eyes, and whispered, "thank you."
"And do you, Squall Leonheart take Rinoa Heartilly to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" Kiros, the "priest" asked him. "I do." He responded. And before they even had permission, they kissed passionately.

Author's Note: Well, how did you like it? Does it sound a lot like LadyHawke, people who have seen it? I hope it doesn't sound exactly like it. I tried to make mine different. I just got done watching it, and I didn't think it sounded too much the same. By the way, there is going to be a Prologue, taking place at Rinoa's Baby Shower. It should be pretty humorous, because I have Irvine in it asking Squall obscene questions. J LOL. Anywho, tell me how you liked it be R+Ring, or by e-mail. Any comments or questions about the story will be gladly replied to. RinoaBabe12@hotmail.com
Catch ya for the prologue!
