^Please, Seifer, you'll be better off if you just leave me alone... You don't need to know this...^

-Weak-

~Fujin.

There goes all of my money. All of the money I had tucked away for me... I spent on him... Why? Why did I care? Why did it matter? Sighing, I picked up the "Balamb Garden Dormitory Phone Book" off of the floor, and set it on the table. I waited around in the kitchen for an hour, then let myself into Seifer's room. It was so cold in there... I looked at the floor, where his shirt was thrown. Picking it up, I glanced at him, sleeping, with a look of distress on his face. Seifer... what's wrong? I put the shirt in a basket, and kneeling by his bedside, I stared at him, watching him sleep. I put my hand on his chest, and felt his steady breathing. I had just come in here to see him; check on him, whatever you wanted to call it, but, instead I fell asleep, unintentionally.

I woke up in his bed, sleeping next to him, and wondered how I got there. He must have woken up and put me next to him. Sighing, I stood up and walked into the bathroom.

After my shower, Seifer went in and took one. He didn't say two words to me, which irked me.

"Um, do you want some coffee?" I asked when he came out.

"N-no, I really should be getting to work..."

"Okay... bye..." He left, and I sighed, still trying to think of what he had said to me that night; the night of Raijin's wedding. The night our posse broke up. The night... we were alone. I could remember it as being important, but I did not know what it was... I didn't want to ask him either.

"Seifer..." I muttered blankly, picking up my bag, and leaving, for work.

When I came home, Seifer wasn't home. Sighing, I glance at my watch. Its 1:30 AM. Seifer... you were supposed to be home a half hour ago... Maybe Rinoa wanted to see you after work... I don't know... An hour later, I'm sitting in the kitchen, waiting for him, when he walks in. He heads directly into the kitchen, and I can see that he still looks like something is bothering him.

"Hey, Fujin." He says, setting his gunblade aside, and tossing his trechcoat on the chair

"You see Rinoa?"

"Yep... My plan is working out perfectly. She doesn't want to break Squall's heart, so she's gonna see me *seperately.*"

"Mm, what'd you tell her about us...?"

"That I'd see you *seperately.*" I wasn't upset. I knew it was fake... Okay, maybe I was a little uneasy about the situation, but it'd work out okay... Right? He sighed, and leaned against the wall. He grabbed the coffee pot and drank the remaining coffee... right out of the pot...

"I'll be right back..." He says, walking into his bedroom. He walks back out barefoot, and shirtless, with baggy black pants on.

"Seifer, what's the matter?" Tell me, I know something's bothering you...

"...Nothing. I'm just tired."

"No... You were like that this morning..." I stand up, and walk over to him. Then the phone rings. I can see him become angry. He doesn't like giving out our phone number, because the phone is his enemy.

"Who the fuck knows our number?"

"I don't know... Maybe its the wrong number." I walk over and pick it up, praying its not him.

"WHO?" I mutter into the phone.

"Hey..." Says a husky voice. It's him.

"Told. Not call here." I say in a whisper, glancing up at Seifer, who looks at me oddly.

"I have a question..."

"Yes. What is?"

"This guy... is he... strong?"

"Yes. Could say that."

"Alright..."

"GOODBYE." I hung up the phone, and look at Seifer, hoping he wouldn't ask who it was, but knowing he would.

"Who was that?"

"Bill collector..."

"Oh really?"

"Mhm..." I try to walk by him, but he stands in the doorway. I swallow. Seifer no...

"Don't make me hit the call-back button..." Oh god, Seifer, no! I look at him.

"Go... ahead." I say, glaring at him.

"I will." He walked toward the phone, and hit a button. I wish I had left.

"The number is fucking scrambled, Fujin." He says slamming down the phone and looking at me. His muscles bulge with anger as he walks toward me.

"Tell me if I'm wasting my time with you, Fujin...!" No, Seifer, I'm not seeing anyone else... I just... I just... Oh god...

"No..." I whisper in a meek voice.

"Well then WHO THE FUCK WAS ON THE PHONE?!! And, who the fuck was at the door, last night?! You gave him eight-thousand gil! ..." He seen that? Oh... shit...

"Seifer... please."

"Tell me, Fujin! That's what's been frigging bothering me all day! So fucking TELL ME!" ...I back away.

"Seifer... please, it doesn't concern you."

"Oh, but it does! Everything that has anything to do with you matters to me...!"

"I..." Almost telling him, I shut my mouth.

"Come on, finish telling me... I know your weakness... I can make you tell me..." Seifer!

"...Please, Seifer, just leave it alone. It's better off that way..."

"Where'd you get the money...?!"

"...I had been saving it away... should I need it."

"What'd you spend it on?!"

"...Nothing."

"Tell me!"

"Seifer... please... Just leave it alone!" Please, Seifer, you'll be better off if you just leave me alone... You don't need to know this...

"I'm not going to let you get away without telling me." He cornered me into a wall.

"Seifer...!" No, I can hold it back. I don't need to tell him! He grabbed me, and started kissing me... My weakness? You're my weakness?

"Tell me..." He said, continuing to kiss me.

"Stop it..." I said, but kissed him back. I guess you are my weakness...

"Tell me, Fuu."

"Please..." I said, kissing him deeper.

"Now, Fuu..."

"I... hired an assassin." I blurted out, then he kissed me still.

"For who?"

"...Squall." I said, finally managing to break away from his kiss.

"Why?"

"...That's not important."

"But, I've got a plan." He says, his arms still having me trapped.

"It was just a backup plan..."

"An eight-thousand dollar backup plan? You're more sensible than that. The real reason now." He kissed me.

"I-I was afraid... that..."

"Hmm?"

"You might want to go off with Rinoa... So, I knew Squall would be after you more, if you did that... so, I wanted to make sure he died..."

"Fujin... I could never leave you, not now..." He kissed me passionately.

"Seifer... I need to go think... alone... if you don't mind..."
