Once a chicken wuss

Author's note: Hahahahaha, 2 reviews. Tnks guys for supporting my fic. I'll try to improve a bit. At least, I spend more time on this chapter.

It had been a long day. After the face-to-face-chat with Bahamut, the martial artist put a lot of thinking on the relationship between the librarian and him. Sure he had a crush on her, otherwise he won't go to the library few times a day plus the punching-air-action outside her outside area. And he believed it applied for her as well. They went good in the past year. When they walked pass each other, they guarantee a short chat or asked for lunch together. This gave an idea that they come much closer after the Ultimacia battle. However, the ponytail librarian never told him her name. That is somewhat bothering Zell, in which should their relationship grow a bit deeper? A nineteen years old martial artist soon realized finding a girlfriend was his crucial.

After a bath, Zell was laying his body on the sofa-from-hell, gesturing the word from Bahamut. Even a GF called him a chickenwuss, was he that clumsy? He knew he always over- react on certain circumstance, nevertheless, he was still a high ranked seed.

As Zell wanted to ease his head out, he decided to have a Budweiser. Just as he opened the bottle, there was a quick knock on the metal door. Who will that be? At this time of day?

A quick glance at the clock, it's already two in the morning. Zell left the beer on the kitchen table and walked his way to the door.

Ding. After the door opened, a familiar figure appeared behind the door. It's the Librarian!!

Oh my god. It's her. It's her!!! What the hell is going on? What shall I do?

"Claim down ….chickenwuss.." Said Bahamut in an annoying deep voice.

Looking at his special librarian girl, Zell blinked. Oh my god, she looks great!! She is amazing !! She's hot!!!!

"Yeah, she is such a cutie, especially wearing a tub-top. Look at her figure, wooo!! No wonder you have a crush on her!" Commented Ifrit.

"Hehe, I will report THAT to Shiva." Cerberus."

"Nononoono..please don't…….she will definitely chop my head off with some sort of ice sword." Pleaded Ifrit.

Shhhh………… what shall I say…..what shall I say -Zell.

"Say Hi…….of course." Bahamut.

"Hi…" Said Zell, scratching his neck.

"Amm, Hi…" The Librarian blushed.

………..Science……

" You are stunning!! The dress suits you perfectly." Zell said.

"Thanks, I just hanged out to my friend's party…….you …you are amazing!!" The librarian blushed.

Am I..?? Looking down on his body. Arrrrrrr, I am only wearing a tower over my waist…and my hair…..Oh my god, it is Not-in-Shape.

"Please wait.. Just a sec…." Zell quickly rushed back into his room and get dressed up in 9.9sec plus styling his hair.

"I'm sorry… I don't mean to scare you off."Zell was straightening his shirt.

"Nononono….I'm the one who should apologize for a late visit." The Librarian pushed out a I'm-sorry face.

" Don't worry, it's fine. You are welcome at any time. Is there anything I can help?" Zell asked.

" Oh my god!! I nearly forgot what I come for. I am not here for seeing you half nicked….." The librarian quickly grabbed Zell's left hand and pulled him into the corridor. "Come, please. Quick!! It is an emergency."

"What?!" Zell, who was confusing by her action, but he liked the moment when she touched him.

"You will see. Just come, quick please." The librarian didn't let go of Zell's hand and just run-like-hell.

"Ok ok."

"It is in Block G."

Balamb Garden Dormitory divided into 11 blocks. Seeds were in block A-D, where Zell's room was. It took about five minutes running from block B to G. They finally stopped in front of Irvine's room with a big crowd of student surrounding the entrance.

"What the hell?" Zell frowned.

Seeing Quistis shouting to the students to back off. Everything is in chaos.

"What's going on inside? I need to get in." Zell started to pushed in. "Just keep close to me, okey?"

The librarian nodded.

As they put the effort to move near the metal door, Quisits suddenly appeared in their way.

"I am sorry, Zell. You are not allowed to be in. It is a Seed stuff."

"What? Am I not a top-ranked Seed?" Zell asked as he never believed these words were come from Quistis, his friend.

Followed Quistis's stare, looking on his librarian behind him.

"Amm, may be I shall wait you here……." Without finished her words, Zell cut her off, "No, you are not staying in such chaos."

"But……"Quistis just started to say something, they heard Selphie shouted.

"You, Jerks, Get the hell out of here. Leave us alone." Selphie screamed.

Zell with the Librarian's hand in his palm, pushed through the metal door. Looking at the mess double room. They approached to the right door. Just stepped in, the screen was so shocked. Squall with his gunblade down on his right hand. Xu, who was standing claim next to Squall, with a black file in one hand and a short gun on the other. And facing to them were Selphie who was wearing Irvine's over-sized white shirt only, and Irvine with his grey boxers. Irvine placed his hands on the waist, looking confident and calm. Selphie grabbed his left hand, lying close to her boyfriend.

"Would you guys mind?"

"I am sorry, but as I said, we need Irvine to cooperate and come down with us." Squall said.

"Hey, what happened? I don't get a thing?" Zell asked. Looking his friends in such weird position in a late night.

"And what are you doing here? Zell, this is a top Seed confidential case." Xu gave Zell a leave-immediately look.

"What? You mean I am not a Seed or am I not allowed to concern my friend's safety? Look, Squall is fully armed and so are u, Xu. But look at Irvine and Selphie, what did they do? They were not even dressing properly. Shouldn't you guys feel guilty to disturb this couple in such a way." Zell reacted angry. The librarian squeezed Zell's hand, implied that he should keep his temper.

"You don't understand." Squall said.

"Of course I don't. How can I? You don't even bother telling me a damn thing." Zell said loudly.

Xu gave a glance to Squall. Then, Squall nodded.

"About five hours ago, two highly ranked seed were killed in the Training center. They were shot from their back sharply. We believe that this had done by a professional sniper. We are suspecting Irvine as the murderer." Xu said as she looked at the reported again.

"It wasn't me. I already said that I was with Selphie. The whole night" Irvine stated.

"You weren't. You said Selphie arrived you room at around 11. Which you still had an hour before hand." Squall stated.

Irvine narrowed his eyes. "I was in my room at that time."

"Yes. We already know as you said earlier. As your roommate wasn't in the room, you don't have any witness." Squall said. "So, please come with us. We only want to clear things out. If you didn't do it, you will be free in 24 hours."

Irvine signed. "But there were hundreds of sharpshooters in Balamb Garden. It's not just me who can shoot."

"But, I am quite sure you are the only one who can handle Exeter."
Irvine inhaled deeply. "I see. That's why you are accusing me." Irvine closed his eyes. "Ok, I will come with you."

With that said, Selphie grabbed Irvine's arm even more tightly, implying a No.

"I will be fine, sweetheart. Wait for me here, ok?" Irvine gave her a smile.

After Irvine put on a pair of black leather trousers and a denim top. He walked off silently towards Squall. Xu blocked Selphie's way, not letting her to follow them. Just before Irvine left his room, he said, "Take care of Selphie for me, ok?" As they walked passed Zell and the librarian without another word.

Author's note: Will Irvine be fine? So, who's the killer? I have already the Librarian's name, however, you are still welcome for any suggestion. Thanks for reading. Papagallo
