A second chance
By Kerry_Saotome
Chapter two
Zidane looked out over Alexandria, it was still in the process of being reconstructed. The sun was just beginning to rise and Zidane never managed to get a wink of sleep. "Zidane?" came a soft voice behind him, he turned round to find Dagger sitting up in bed rubbing the sleep from her eyes. He sat down on the bed beside her and embraced her tightly. "Sorry my love" he whispered in her ear. He kissed the top of her head and lay down with her. Dagger ran her hand down his smooth bare chest, "Couldn't sleep again huh?" she asked him. Zidane nodded his head slowly. "I can't get him out of my mind. He was my brother, how could i let him die like that?". Dagger kissed Zidane deeply and brushed his hair out of his face. "It couldn't be helped Zidane. Stop beating yourself up about it", Zidane nodded slowly and wiped the tear from his eye. "Even if he was still alive we would have to execute him". Zidane jumped off the bed and gave Dagger a cold stare "We would have to what?" he asked, his eyes threatening to spill over with tears. Dagger sat back up and glared at Zidane, "After everything that he has done? you would keep that mad man alive? what if he tried to destroy Gaia again?". Zidane turned away from her, tears streaming down his face. Dagger walked over to him and took him in her arms, she brushed her away and sat down at the window, gazing at the sunrise. Dagger knew she had hurt him and decided to leave him alone for a while. "I'm sorry" she whispered, she then crawled back into her bed and promptly fell back asleep.
Jesrick looked at her scar in the mirror. "Yeah, i got it while trying to save you believe it or not", Kuja looked up at her in surprise. "how did it happen?". Jesrick turned to him with a big grin plastered to her face "You got attacked by a silver dragon". Kuja choked and spat tea all over Jesrick, "A WHAT?" He then noticed the wet stain on Jesrick's shirt and quickly grabbed a cloth, "I'm sorry" he said. Kuja began to wipe at the stain. Jesrick gazed up into Kuja's eyes. *he's got beautiful eyes* she thought to herself. She then realized that she had leaned forward an her lips were firmly against his. She shot back and turned bright red. Kuja looked up at her in disbelieve, his heart thumping hard in his chest. "I-I-I'm sorry" Jesrick stuttered, shaking like a leaf. She then ran up the stairs so she didn't have to face him. Kuja winced as he heard a door slam shut, Kuja sat back down and sipped at the remains of his tea *she must be pretty strong to be able to fight off a silver dragon* he thought. his thought suddenly turned to the kiss, *why did she kiss me? does she think i'm attractive?* he then got up and gazed at himself in the mirror. *Am i really worth the bother?*. He then headed towards the stairway.
Jesrick threw herself on the bed, crying of embarrassment "God! what the hell was i thinking? like he is going to be interested in a little peasant like me?". She hugged her pillow tightly and sobbed into it. A few minutes passed and she heard a knock at the door, she knew it was Kuja and decided to ignore it. The door then opened and Kuja stood in the door way, Jesrick didn't turn to look at him, she snapped he eyes shut hoping that he would leave. Kuja slowly slipped over to the bed and sat down beside her. He placed his hand on her shoulder and lean forward slightly. He placed a small kiss on her cheek and stroked her hair. "Thank you" he whispered before silently slipping back out of the room.
Steiner and Beatrix ran upstairs as fast as they could and pounded on the door to the royal chambers. "Your highness, we bring urgent news. We must speak with you and master Zidane at once" Steiner bellowed. Zidane appeared at the door in nothing but his boxers. "What's the matter" he said, obviously annoyed. "Sir, there have been sightings of Kuja in a small cottage nearby".
Kuja stared out of the window in the small bedroom for a long time. *Something's not right* he thought. His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at his door. Jesrick walked in and smiled at him. She noticed the sad look in his eyes and frowned. "Is something the matter Kuja?" she asked. Kuja looked round and brushed some of his hair our of his face. "Something bad is going to happen, i can sense it" he sighed, "I hate to admit this but i'm actually a bit scared". Jesrick walked over to him slowly and embraced him tightly, Kuja wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. He then tilted her head upwards and placed a small kiss on her lips. Kuja smiled down at her, "That's for earlier" he said. Jesrick wrapped her arms around Kuja's neck and pulled him down into a longer and more passionate kiss, Kuja was shocked but her didn't pull away, he found himself returning the kiss. Jesrick slid her tongue along Kuja's lips, he responded by opening his mouth a little and sliding his own tongue along hers. Jesrick broke off the kiss and took Kuja's hand walking backwards to sit on the bed. She then leaned back pulling Kuja down with her locking him in another passionate kiss. Jesrick began to rub her hands up and down Kuja's back in a suggestive way, she then began to unbutton his shirt. Kuja quickly broke the kiss, "Uhhh, Jesrick, we barely know each other, are you sure you want to do this, i mean i don't mind but i don't want you to feel like i'm........" Jesrick placed a finger to his lips to silence him, she got up and leaned him back against the pillows. Kuja swallowed hard as Jesrick began to unbutton his shirt again, she ran her hand up and down the taut muscles of his stomach. *well, if this is what she wants* he thought as he pulled her down and kissed her again.
