Legacy of the Lion
Chapter 4
Baedan



"Instructor Thoran!? Are you here!?" Rose called as she entered the ship. "Rose? What are you doing back here? Do you realize that this could effect your…" His lecture stopped abruptly when he saw the injured man upon her back.

"How did this happen? Are you a member of SeeD young man?" He asked. "No sir, I was just on this island, and the soldiers shot me." He explained. Rose knew he was lying. She had seen him wriggling away from that soldier. But she wasn't about to say anything.

"Rose," she snapped to attention. "Sir?" "Get back to your post. It's up to Squall whether or not he marks you down for this." He ordered. "Yes sir." She sighed, and walked out. "Hey Rose!" Baedan called after her. She looked back. "Thank you." She nodded, and pushed the door open.





"Where the hell have you been?" Lance asked as she ran up to the two. "I'm sorry. I… had to help someone." She panted. "Forget about it. Let's go." He replied. After more of fighting the Aganes off the island, the trio finally walked back to the vessel.


"How ya doing?" Rose asked Baedan as she walked in, sweat pouring off her forehead. "Fine thanks to you and Instructor Thoran. Hey, am I going back to Garden with you?" he asked. "I guess so. Instructor Thoran hasn't said anything about it." She responded, getting a glass of water for herself. "Okay. You don't think the Headmaster will mind?" he asked shakily. "Well, as long as you don't take up permanent residence there, you should be fine." She laughed, but stopped curtly when she saw the look on his face. 'Does he want to stay with us?' She pondered silently. 'I… guess it would probably be fine. It just seems kind of sudden.' "Well, I guess it'd be okay. You'd have to ask my Dad first." She told him, taking a drink from her water. "Okay. You have an Infirmary there right?" He questioned. "No, Baedan. We're going to slap a Band-Aid on your leg and tell you you're fine." She replied sarcastically. "Of course we have an Infirmary!" He laughed, and she noticed that it sounded a lot like hers. She pondered this as they started off for Garden.




Author's Note: I know, this is really short, but I promise to have chapter 5 up really soon! This was just one of those oddball chapters that I couldn't fit anywhere else. Well, keep reviewing, and I'll keep writing!
