Chapter 4: A Challenge
You think you are a challenge,
To someone like me?
You think you can handle,
Someone like me?
Try your luck, kid.
And today you will see,
You will never be a challenge to me.

Fujin and Raijin walked into the house to hear yelling. They peered behind the wall,
hearing catches of an argument between Seifer and Rinoa in the living quarters. Luckily,
they were in real clothes, or Fujin would have busted a lung with pent up laughter. Rinoa
in black shorts and a pink tanktop, Seifer in a red tanktop and blue jeans.
"-not here, not in my house!"
"-not the Ultimate Boss of her."
"-not with my boyfriend! Tell her to find another person to follow like a puppet on a string!"
"Give her a chance!"
"-given her chances! I don't like her! I want her out of my house, NOW!"
Fujin gave her wreath to Raijin, who was behind her, and leaned on the frame of the wall,
revealing herself to the feuding couple. Rinoa put her hands to her mouth and Seifer
stared. Not glared, just stared.
"So, you don't like me, Rinoa?" Fujin raised an eyebrow, earning her look of a
Commander of the Galbadia army. "I put the bad in Galbadia, you don't wanna mess with
a soldier of my rank. It's a scary thing, Rinoa, a scary thing."
"No, Fujin Kazeno, I've never liked you." Her words reeked of poison. "In fact, I was
telling Seifer all about how much I've hated you. I want you out of my house at this
instant."
"How about... no." Fujin stated.
"I will call the police." Rinoa stepped, stride for stride, to the phone.
"I have an alternative. Besides, I don't think the police would be happy if you tried to
arrest the Galbadia Commander, even with your father's Lieutenant rank." Rinoa gasped
and dropped the phone down on it's receiver.
"What's your proporsition?" Rinoa asked, heartily. (hee hee)
"Confident one, ain't ya." Fujin said, coming closer to Rinoa. "I propose a match, winner
takes all. If you win, I'll leave." Rinoa studied this for a minute, nodding.
"And if you win?" she asked, tentatively. Fujin smiled, a slight curl at her lips, almost a sneer.
"If I win, you have to break up with Seifer." Seifer raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" Fujin rolled her eyes.
"I'm never coming back to this hellhole! As long as you two are apart, I don't have to."
She turned to Rinoa. "What's the rules?"
"No Auras, no help from friends, and no mercy. Stop when the other is down for the
count."
"No dogs! And Auras allowed." Raijin yelled. Rinoa rolled her eyes.
"Why, Raijin?" Seifer asked.
"'Cause Rinoa and Fuj are good in it, ya know!" He said, knowing full well Rinoa wasn't.
But she beamed at the compliment.
"'sides, she don't have her dog. And dogs are cute!"
"No dogs, Auras allowed." she stuck out her hand. "Do we got a deal?"
Fujin's sneer widened. (I thought she would give up. Oh well, she doesn't know what she's
getting into!)
"No mercy, Heartily. Deal!"
"Meet me outside in twenty minutes." and with that, she walked to her living quarters.
Fujin rolled her eyes.
(Like she's a challenge.)
