Chapter 6: An Eye for an Eye
You didn't trust me.
You didn't like me.
Now you partially can't see.
But you see, now.
You can see why,
We never saw,
An Eye for an Eye.

Fujin still smiled, to that day, about Rinoa walking by Garden with her father, waddling
like a duck on crack...
Crack? Did I say crack? I mean, crutches.
It was two years later, Fujin was seventeen, Seifer and Raijin were eighteen. Raijin wasn't
skinney anymore, pumping up the last two summers and now looked like a walking slab of
meat and muscle than the skinney man she knew before. Rinoa still wasn't in Garden. She
was probably coming this year.
The thought could have killed Fujin.
But, this was the first day of school. She better make the best of it, you know, not actually
trying to kill herself today.
"Now today, boys and girls, is a training day." Quistis said. Moans were heard in the
backround, but Fujin was estatic. She didn't show it though, it wasn't her style.
"We will line up, single file, and go to the Training Center. From there, we will pass
though the doors to the training center. I hope that we all Junctioned and Equipped." She
saw various things like people trying to pull down their gray boxes so they could Junction.
She shrugged, saw Squall and smiled, sliding over to him. He rolled his eyes.
"Let's go." She lead the line, followed by Rinoa and Zell. The D.C.C. took the caboose.
"Fujin? Why are we doing this again?" Seifer whispered.
Fujin shrugged. (That's a good question)
"So, why exactly are we walking single file?" Seifer leaned in and asked again.
Fujin shrugged. "ZELL. CHICKEN, WADDLING."
"I heard that, Fujin. Go to the back of the line." Quistis turned and said as if it were the
worst thing in the world. Fujin made a 'I'm-already-there' motion and Quistis rolled her
eyes and turned back around.
They finally got to the Center and walked into the hallway.
"Alright, I want parties of two, got that!" She and Squall went together, followed by,
Squall with Zell, Raijin with some Quistis wanna-be and some other kids, ending with
Fujin and Seifer. (Yeah, like I would have it any other way ^_____^;) They walked into
the Center and fought a few simple creatures.
"You know, Fujin, I'm trying out for SeeD tommorrow." Seifer said, after dancing and
waving around his Hyperion in the victory music. Fujin rolled her eyes. This was his fifth
one, and he still didn't pass. Squall hadn't even been on one, yet, and he was going on the
one tommorrow.
"Squall's just a wussy, not trying out for any of them. Me, I like to try everything, fail
or not." (You go, boy! Of course, Fujin just thought he was getting addicted to failing.)
Fujin rolled her eyes, she had heard this speech four times before this, making this her,
fifth pep speech. In other words, Seifer talks, she just pretends to listen. Actually, he
knows she's not listening. He just really likes the sound of his voice.
Then Fujin saw something in the clearing coming toward them. She tapped Seifer.
"And so, Puberty Boy and Chicken Wuss..." he rattled.
"Seifer." she called.
"And the best looking, out of all of them..."
"Seifer....!"
"In conclusion..."
"SEIFER!!!!"
"Huh? What?" She pointed. A huge T-Rexaur, about four or five stories, towerd over
them.
"RUN!" The turned and tried to run, but that damn invisble barrier held them back, with a
can't escape screen over their heads. They turned around to see the T-Rexaur cocking it's
head from one side to the other. Seifer struck with Hyperion and Fujin with shirouken, but
it barely did any damage. Seifer went into his magic stock to only find cure.
"CURE! I FRIGGIN' ONLY HAVE CURE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" (That's how I feel when I
only have cure.) "Fujin what do you have?"
"???????. NONE, USEABLE."
"Stock?"
"NO TIME."
"You got Pandemona?" Fujin shook her head, her eyes never leaving the T-Rexaur. The
T-Rexaur struck at Seifer's side with one massive claw. The only reason he couldn't strike
back was because it WASN'T HIS FRIGGIN' TURN!!!!! His HP was low, but not low
enough to use his Limit Break. But the problem was, he was banned to use his Limit
Break in Garden. Last time he did, he almost blew-up Garden. (This was the real first
time.)
Fujin reached into her GF cabinet.
None. Nothing, Zero, no I O Us, no thank yous, nothing. Pandemona was not there. She
must have forgotten to Eqquip it. Either that or she left it in her computar.
She shook her head. Seifer looked in major pain as the T-Rexaur slashed into his chest and
he fell. 0 hp. Blood was flooding out of him, and fast. But she had no time to ponder on
that.
The T-Rexaur turned on her. She threw a potion to Seifer, letting him regain
consiousness. But he was still weak.
The T-Rexaur used Fire on her.
And no matter how much Wind you have, you can never beat Fire. You would feed it.
Fujin writhed in pain, even though it only lasted for a second. She was weak, a little too
weak to do a limit break. But the T-Rexaur didn't give her the desicion on doing that. It
grabbed her waist and brought her into the air.
"Fujin!" Seifer tried to reach out to her, but was too late. Besides, he was going to faint
too.
"SEIFER..." She looked into the beast's eyes, a mirror of her own red ones, realizing what it
wanted.
(So, we'll never see eye to eye, huh?)
And a second later, the left mighty claw slashed her left eye. The impact sent her
sprawling towards the ground. Seifer jumped up, full of rage, and managed to catch her.
He set her down, gently, hoping that no other animal would try to harm her for now.
Then he looked into the beast's eyes, his own full of anger.
And no one angered the Great Fire Prince and lived.
You didn't trust me.
You didn't like me.
Now you partially can't see.
But you see, now.
You can see why,
We never saw,
An Eye for an Eye.
