Whenever I close my eyes.........

After the long battle with Ultimecia, everybody is back at the Garden. Everyone is happy about the results except for Rinoa is still unconscious. It seems like she had been so exhausted from the battle. Everyone is getting worried.
"Rinoa...."Squall said softly as he caressed Rinoa's black, highlighted hair." Please open your eyes...I really wanted to hear your voice.... your soft voice...call my name." he's been sad for 2 weeks already. He visit Rinoa on the infirmary everyday hoping that she'll open her eyes but it seems like it is hopeless.
"Squall."Dr. Kowadaki put his hand on Squall's shoulder "Don't loose hope...she'll be alright...she's still alive. Maybe she just needs a little rest.
Squall nodded "But I'll stay by her side"
"That might help" the doctor smiled and walk out of the room.
All of a sudden someone knock on the door.
"Huh?"
"May I come in?" It was Quistis. She's also had been worried about both Rinoa and Squall. She knows that Squall is very sad that Rinoa isn't waking up yet.
"..." Squall just looks back at Rinoa. He can't take it if something happen to her. He stayed there all night looking after her.
"I guess I'll come in."Quistis came inside the room and quietly closed the door behind her." How is she doing?" she sit on the small chair on the opposite side of the bed where Squall is.
"She's still unconscious..."Squall said in a low voice.
"You don't mind me staying in here for a little bit do you?"Quistis asked curiously.
Squall shakes his head.
Quietness filled the room as they both watched the sleeping angel. When all of a sudden there's another knock on the door.
"Come in."Quistis said quietly.
It was Sophie and Zell. They're carrying a beautiful bouquet and some fresh fruit.
"How is she doing?"Zell ask in a serious tone.
Quistis shake her head and said," She hasn't wake up yet...."
"The doctor said that she's still alive.... maybe she just need a little more rest..."Squall said in a low voice.
"I...I'm sorry Squall" Selphie said in a sad voice while she put her hand on Squall's shoulder.
"Y'know guys maybe the doctor is right. Maybe she just needs a little rest that's all."Zell is trying to cheer up everyone specially Squall. He hasn't slept for a long while. He's just watching over Rinoa and waiting for her to open her eyes and say his name with her cheerful, angelic voice.
"Yeah...."That's the only word that Squall said for now. He just wants to watch over his angel.
Another knock on the door.
"Come in"
its Irvine with red roses." So how's the princess doing?"
Selphie shake her head.
"She'll be fine!"Zell exclaimed.
Irvine put the red roses on the vase above the small table beside her bed." Isn't there anyway to make her wake up? I mean can't we use our spells on her?" Irvine asked curiously.
"We've already tried that but it still doesn't work..."Selphie said disappointedly.
"Oh I see..."Irvine looked down on the ground.
"hm....."
"Ri..Rinoa?!"Squallexclaimed happily as he heard Rinoa.
"Yay!At last our sleeping beauty is awake!"Selphie said cheerfully.
"Hooray! Didn't I told you guys that she'd be fine?!Wohoo!"Zell exclaimed while he and Selphie did a high five.
Quistis just let out a happy sigh and smiled. Irvine just winked at her with a grin.
Squall hugged his love tightly in his arms. He feels like he doesn't wanna let go of her forever.
Rinoa slowly opened her beautiful eyes she saw Selphie, Zell, Quistis and Irvine (she hasn't seen Squall's face yet coz he's hugging her)
"Hey Rinoa! It's nice to have you back!" Selphie exclaimed cheerfully as she wink at her.
"Huh?"
"Yeah Rinoa we've been all worried about you." Irvine said grinning at her.
"Wha?"
"Yeah, specially Squall," Quistis said smiling.
"Why don't you give her a smootch Squall" Zell teased.
Squall let go of Rinoa and glare at Zell.
"Okay okay I'm just kidding" Zell said while laughing with a sweat drop.
Squall turn back to Rinoa,"A...are you feeling okay now?" He asked tenderly to his love that had been sleeping for a long time. He can't wait to here her voice. He can't wait to here her call his name and also the way they argue because she wanted him to learn how to care for others. He suddenly realized that he changed a lot since he and Rinoa first met.
"I...I'm feelings okay..."Rinoa said with her fragile voice. She turn to the others and said," But who are you guys?"
"What the..?!"Zell said shock.
"Oh come on Rinoa! Stop joking around!" Selphie said while laughing.
"But I'm not...." Rinoa said with her soft voice.
"Could it be?" Irvine said while turning to Quistis.
"She might have an amnesia" Quistis looked back at Irvine
Squall quickly hold Rinoa's hand,"Rinoa do you remember me?"
Rinoa gaze deeply in to his eyes".........you look...familiar..."
Selphie points to herself"Hey!How about me!me!me!"she exclaimed.
Rinoa just slowly shake her head.
"Hey don't forget me! Do you remember! The hotdog king?" Zell asked Rinoa curiously.
But Rinoa just shake her head again.
"It seems like she doesn't remember anyone except for Squall."Quistis said while adjusting her glasses.
"It seems like it." Irvine just turn to Rinoa "Do you know his name?" he pointed at Squall.
Rinoa shake her head," No but he looks familiar.
Squall felt his heart break when he realized that Rinoa doesn't remember anything.... not a single thing.:: so she doesn't remember anything we've been through::
All of a sudden Dr. Kawadaki entered the room.
"Hey doc do you know what the hell happened to Rinoa?She doesn't remember any of us!"Zell exclaimed.
"Calm down Zell. Some of the case of people having an amnesia, they eventually gain back their memory." The Doctor explained.
Quistis raised an eyebrow," Some?"
"Yes. Some of them....let's just hope that Rinoa will gain her memory as soon as possible. We'll do everything we could to help her gain back her memory."

That Night***

Rinoa is standing on the balcony while looking at the beautiful sunset. The cold breeze of the wind blew gently her soft black, highlighted hair. She gently closed her eyes and put her hand on her head. Today, they put her on a device that caused her head to ache but she felt a little better now, at least she's out of that device. She heard someone walk up behind her. She turned around gracefully "Oh it's you.."The figure of a man with a huge sharp gunblade in front of her walks closer and closer to her. It was Squall.
"Are you feeling okay?" he asked with a cold voice.
"Yeah...."she smiled a bit and turn back to the beautiful sunset." But it really hurt when they put me in that device....it feels like my head is going to break I don't know what to do....I see this people that I don't even know. or maybe I know them but I just forget who they are....I was so scared. I don't know what to think anymore.....I feel so tired...and confused..."Slowly tears fall down on her pale, soft cheeks.
Squall walk right beside her and slowly put his arms around her. Then, he pulled her tightly against him."It'd be alright...."he said softly.
Rinoa blushed slightly and closed her eyes. She also put her arms around Squall. She looked up to him and said," You know...I don't know why but you..."she gazed deeply in Squall's eyes." I feel so happy being around you.....I feel so comfortable whenever you're around ...But I don't know why...."
Squall wipes her tears away and leaned closer and closer to her face causing their lips to meet.
Rinoa blushed and closed her eyes. She stands with her toes to reach Squall's lips. Then finally they kissed. But it's not like any ordinary kiss, it was a long sweet kiss. Deep down inside Rinoa felt so happy but she can't understand why. But she didn't worry about it, instead she just enjoyed the happy feeling inside her.
Squall, with his eyes half close, blushed slightly while pulling her tighter against him. Then, he caressed her hair.
