Author's note: Sorry for the long wait. This chapter deals with both Quistis' and Seifer's feelings while away from each other and about the fight they had before. Oh, Rinoa plays an important role here, since she helps the two.
Chapter 14 - 'I'll wait for him to com back...'
Seifer felt blood trickle down the corner of his mouth. With one tired hand, he lifted a gloved finger towards his mouth and stared at the warm, red liquid. Is he going to die? He heard someone call his name. Quistis? If only he said good bye to her as he left, but he just had to be stubborn and leave her behind without giving her one last kiss. Why did he have to be such a jerk? She was right after all. Did he take care of her, because he felt guilty about what happened between them?
*I'm going to die.
-No, you're not going to die, Seifer.
*That voice! Rinoa?
-Seifer, you still have much to do. You can't give up now. You have a place to return to.
*I don't have any place to run home to. I don't belong anywhere. I deserve to die after what I have done to Garden!
-Quistis has forgiven you and you know that! Why do you let yourself down? You have a home to run to and not just Quistis. You have your friends.
Seifer smirked.
*Friends? I have friends already and why do I need more?
-Because friendship is what brings all of us together, Seifer! Love is also another important thing. don't give up now, Seifer. You still have so much love in you! Quistis needs you now. She doesn't want you to go.
*Go away, Rinoa! Why are you helping me?
-Because you deserve love, Seifer. I know I couldn't give you any, but Quistis can give you a whole lot. You deserve to be loved. She's worried about you.
*Why is she worried about me, if she doesn't believe that I love her? Why does she doubt that?
-She wasn't sure about whether you truly loved her. She wanted you to prove it, but not like this. Not when you're dying! Get up now, Seifer! Call for your friends and they will help you!
*Friends? What friends?
"Seifer!" He heard a familiar voice calling him. Seifer's eyes fluttered back open, noticing sharp white teeth opening its mouth. He could smell the foul breath against his nostrils and Seifer almost felt like throwing up. He looked to his left. There, his Hyperion laid. With one swift move, the monster came at him, getting ready to bite his head off, but Seifer wasn't about to give up now. Rinoa had awaken him from unconsiousness. She was right after all. He can't give up now. Giving up would be cowardly. Seifer reached for something hard beside him and looked up. It was a large rock, big enough in the palm of his hands. Quickly, Seifer lunged the rock towards the base of the monster's foot and dug it through until the sharp end reached the sole of the foot. He suddenly pulled it off and did a double take on the other foot that was holding him down. He heard the monster scream and Seifer felt both heavy feet remove themselves away from him. Seifer pushed with all his might to make sure the feet weren't still blocking him and lunged for his sword.
"DIE!!!" he screamed. His felt the power. The power to do whatever it takes to prove his love for Quistis. He also felt the power of Hyperion in the palm of his hands. The power of the limit break. "Hyperion Cross!" he yelled, pointing the shapr end towards the monster. Fujiin and Raijin were surprised that he had gotten up and used his limit break towards the monster. They immediately aimed their weapons at the other four heads and killed them off easily with their mastered spells. With one final blow, Seifer aimed his Hyperion Cross towards the base of the stomach to finally put an end of the monster's carnage. His sword pirced through the whale-like body and to make sure it was dead and gone, he ran his Hyperion from the botton and up to the top. Blood gushed out of the monster's body. The monster wailed, its five heads crying out in agony. Seifer removed his sword and waited. The beast's five pairs of eyes quickly closed and its giant weight crushed the ground with an enormous impact that Seifer and the others had to hang on to each other for balance. Luckily, it ended without a cave in. Seifer wiped the blood off of the sword against the ground and ordered his friends to move on and find the stone, thanking Rinoa for her help.
****************
Quistis took a deep breath. Her stomach was churning everytime she thought of Seifer. Why had he gone to that place? And why did she doubt his love for her? Was she right to do so? She felt a warm, small hand on her shoulder. Quistis glanced towards the owner of the hand and gazed at a raven-haired girl smiling at her.
"Don't worry about him, Quistis. Seifer is safe and sound. He promises to come back to you alive."
Quistis looked at the girl strangely. "How do you know that?"
"I am a Sorceress after all, Quisty," Rinoa replied, with almost an annoyance in her voice. "Seifer has a job to do. If he really wants this stone so much to get your daughter back, then he really must love you."
Quistis sighed. "Was I wrong to ever doubt his love for me?" She turned to face her.
Rinoa shook her head. "No, never. Your doubt for his love for you is normal. Everyone has doubts about their love for each other. It's what truly makes you a real person, because you wanted to make sure about everything. But...." Rinoa placed two hands on the older woman's shoulders. "You have to learn to trust your heart about who he is now and not who he was then. He has changed a lot and he would never hurt you."
Quistis nodded. A smile crept on her lips, which almost surprised her. "I love him." She turned away from the girl to face the ocean. "For a long time he has loved me, even before we learned that we would have a baby together and even before he turned against all of us, but I was too blind to see it. I was too blinded by someone else."
"Squall?"
Quistis glanced towards her. "Yes. I thought I loved him, but now I realized it was just a love for a sister to her brother." She faced back towards the ocean. She sighed. "I'll wait for Seifer here. I'll wait for him to come back, then I'll know he loves me."
