Zell stood in front of Tari, facing Squall, his arms crossed.
"Well, we don't know when that thing will come back. Why should we give up this
precious bottle now?" Zell pointed out to Squall.
"Where else can we keep her without having anyone to watch her night and day? She has
to sleep sometime." Squall argued. Zell had been very stubborn about using the potion
without knowing when Rhapha was coming back.
Tari looked ashamed and suddenly angry.
"Why should this whole place go through these troubles because of me? Give me the
bottle and I'll leave! Just tell me how to use this stuff to get rid of that thing!!" Tari burst
out, her cheeks red and her eyes seeming to flash fire in their colored depths.
Zell looked calmly at her, not knowing how she would take the news of a suicide.
"You have to kill the host of the GF with the GF in the host using the GF's attack."
"Fine."
Zell was taken aback at her quick answer.
"You really thought that I wouldn't do it if it came to that? After all the trouble I've
caused, I would've thought you'd be happy to get rid of me!!" Tari reached for the bottle,
but Squall held it out of her reach.
"Wait…how do we know when it comes back?" Squall asked, looking as if an idea had
just hit him upside the head.
Zell smacked his forehead with his palm in an exaggerated gesture. "What have I been
trying to tell you for the last ten minutes?"
Tari looked half confused and half mad. "Okay…what's the big idea?"
"Zell, do you remember the isolation chambers that were put in here soon after Ultimecia
was defeated? The ones we use now for protection and isolation?" Squall said, his arm
still up in the air with the bottle in his hand.
"Yeah…so?" Zell looked at him with a strange expression on his face, as if an idea was
forming, but not quite caught onto.
"What are you talking about?" Tari demanded, now completely perplexed.
"We could set up a room in there. It's impervious to magic of any sort. Even GFs or
spirits can enter it. Scheperas had done a good job on them, using his magic as a sorcerer
to build it before he died." Squall mentioned a man who had helped build a part of the
Garden soon after Ultimecia.
"Damn, man…that's an AWESOME idea!" Zell said, his face lighting up with a grin.
Tari just looked bewildered. Squall grinned as well.
"Come on!" Zell grabbed Tari by the wrist and began dragging herself to Headmaster
Cid's office.
"What? Why me? Why now? Why this?" She protested, wondering where the argument
of before had gone.
"Why not?" Squall took her other wrist and with little difficulty, the two boys hauled her
into the elevator.
.oO~*-*~Oo.
Quistis opened her eyes. What she saw was the ceiling of a hotel room. What she felt was
a major hangover. Where she was, she had no clue.
That's when she heard a slight moan at her side.
Turning her head, she could see Seifer's brownish blonde hair. She stifled a moan. This
was not good.
This and a hangover.
What had she gotten herself into?
Sitting up, she realized she was undressed…and in bed.
"Oh my GOD! SEIFER!" Quistis pulled the pillow out from underneath Seifer's head
and began hitting him with it.
Seifer woke up with a groan and then realized Quistis was beating him over the head
with…a pillow?
"Dammit, Quisty, stoppit!!" He grumbled, sitting up. When he realized Quistis wasn't
wearing anything, he just stared.
"You PERVERTED ASSHOLE!" Quistis began crying.
"Quisty, I didn't do it on purpose! We were both so drunk, we must've done this without
knowing!!" Seifer moved over next to her and took her in his arms, pulling the sheet
around her.
Quistis felt his touch but didn't shirk away from it. For some reason, she didn't feel like
she was mad at him for sleeping with her, she was mad because…she had missed the
whole thing? She moved her left hand across her face, wiping away tears as she leaned
against him. She felt something hard touch her face.
"Seifer…what's this?" Quistis leaned back and looked at her hand. On her ringfinger was
a golden ring.
"A…ring?" Seifer was just as puzzled as she, and had about as bad a headache too.
"We…didn't…did we?" Quistis looked at him.
"I don't think so…"
"We must have…or else…"
"Oh my god…that means…"
"Holy shit…"
"You're my wife…"
"Let's get some aspirin and talk about this…" Quistis pulled the sheet around her
securely and stood up and got a glass of water from the sink while Seifer watched.
"Seifer…this…is…" Quistis picked a piece of paper off of the sink as she brought the
glass and the white tablets to the bed. Seifer too the paper in his hand and looked at it.
A marriage licsence.
Signed by him and Quistis.
Seifer and Quistis Almasy.
Seifer looked up at Quistis.
Quistis gave him a tiny smile. "Well, now what?"
"I don't know."
"You know…Seifer…I really don't mind…"
"Are you still DRUNK OR WHAT?! What will everyone else say?!"
"Shh. Irvine and Selphie are going to get married. Why not us?"
"I didn't think you cared for me."
"Now you're getting emotional. That's not the Seifer I know."
"Do you care for me? Do you love me enough to marry me, Quisty?"
"Seifer…do you love ME enough to stay with me?"
"I asked you the question first."
"All right. Seifer Almasy, I am your wife, I love you, I care for you and I want you to say
you love me." Quistis' eyes shone with tears. It was something she had so wanted to say.
"I…care…for you…Quisty. I love you. Stay with me…please?" Seifer looked very
unsure of himself. He looked at her, his feelings actually showing in his eyes for once.
"Always!" Quistis pounced on him, her headache forgotten and the glass of water spilling
to the floor.
.oO~*-*~Oo.
Irvine sat down on one of the chairs he had carried into the new room, a re-furnished
isolation chamber. It would work all right…as long as a protector would stay with her,
Cid said. 'Looks like it'll work.' He thought looking around at the room furnished with a
partition and two beds to make two bedrooms.
Zell sighed as he leaned against the door. "Why do I have to do this?"
"Cause. You know her better. And I'm living with Elphie soon, so I can't stay with Tari.
Squall has Rinoa and I don't think any of the other students here are to be trusted as you
are." Irvine retorted.
"But…this seems…like I'm violating her space." Zell protested again.
"You need to stay with her 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I'm counting on you to
protect my sister. If you let me down…I don't know if I can forgive myself. I'll relieve
you for most of the day, and watch her myself, I suppose, if it makes you that
uncomfortable to be with her." Irvine offered. Zell's face took on a look of relief.
"Guys? We've got the last of her stuff. All she needs to do is move in and Zell, you had
better go get packing." Rinoa said as she came in, carrying two boxes. Squall and Tari
each had two as well.
"Well…now what? Do you want me to unpack while you help him?" Tari suggested,
looking a little more than flustered. She looked downright embarrassed.
"Yeah. We'll lock you in here for right now as we all leave. Later, sis." Irvine hugged his
sister and kissed her on her forehead. She hugged him back and turned to her boxes as
they all left.
Zell hung behind. "Later."
"Zell?" Tari asked in a small voice.
"What?"
"I…want to thank you for all you've done for me. I know I've been a lot of trouble for
you all, but you've really made me feel safe around here. Thank you." Tari's face turned
red as she said this and then turned back to her boxes a second time so Zell couldn't see
the red of her face.
"You're welcome…Tari." Zell said these words quietly as he shut the door and put the
key card in the slot, activating the lock and the shield. "Tari…"
"Zell-chama…Thank you…" Tari felt a tear roll down her face as the door clicked shut
and the hum of the shield was heard. She was alone again.
Alone. The way she hated to be.
Tari ran to one of the beds in the small room and flung herself down on it and cried
herself to sleep.
