Seifer jumped in front of the angry T-Rexuar as he swiped as Angelica and received an awfully nasty gash on his arm. It had ripped through his coat but that really didn't matter to him because he was doing his job. Angelica jumped out of the way long enough to re-equip her weapon and join in the fight. Quistis quickly summoned Shiva because it was a well-known fact that T-Rexuars had a very weak defense system when it cam to elemental ice attacks. Angelica looked over to Seifer an noticed the severe amount of blood loss he had been experiencing ever since the swipe even though she and Quistis had each caste Curaga on him. The more he used his right arm to swipe at the large monster the more blood came out. It didn't take long for them to defeat the monster but after it was all over Seifer doubled over in pain as he dropped Hyperion and squeezed on his right arm with his left hand.
"Why aren't those damn spells or potions working?" He moaned as he fell to the ground in pain.
"I think this is an anti-spell environment, Quistis I need something to stop the bleeding or else he'll bleed to death." Angelica said, kneeling down and trying to think of something to use to wrap up his arm. "Quistis, take off your bra." Angelica ordered as she heard Seifers' laughter that was halted by a sudden surge of pain in his arm. Quistis walked away from Seifer and returned a few minutes later with her bra. Angelica lifted up Seifer's wounded arm, avoiding his protests of pain as she pulled his coat back and wrapped it around his Arm. The sun began to grow hotter as Seifer sat there on the ground watching Angelica nurse his wound. She looked back up to him as he gave her a weak smile and she just stared back at him coldly before she stood up and grabbed her Gunblade.
"Let's go," She ordered as she began to head north. Seifer stood up wondering why she had so many mood swings. Quistis walked behind them holding her hands over her chest for support.
************
They had settled down for the night and Quistis had fallen asleep as Angelica sat staring at the moon and contemplating the current situation. Seifer had wandered off somewhere and said that he was going for a walk but that had been over and hour ago and Angie couldn't help herself as she began to wonder if he was okay. She didn't want to go after him because it would make her seem like she actually cared about his health and well being. He looked rather hurt after she had insulted him earlier but she couldn't help it. It was a sudden reaction the type of thing that her father had always expected her to do when guys got too close for comfort. Her father, Braxton Klaer a Senator from Deling and her Uncle was the President. Her mother, when she was alive always had high expectations of 'Little Gia' as everyone called her. It was obvious that she was adopted due to the fact that she was the darkest one in her family and they obviously were not the same race but she was always loved, and treated equally. To Klaers' love and Equality was all that really mattered. She never did have any boyfriends because her father scared them all away, or so she thought. Maybe she scared them away herself because she was too conceited or uptight. Her father told her 'Your beauty is the thing that scares men away Angelica.' She still considered that one of the most stupid ideas in the world because if it did why did all of these guys approach her? Her main goal in life was to live it for herself or until she got tired of that and decided to settle down. She saw how her mother's dreams were altered because of her demanding husband and her constant desire to see her children succeed. Her mother was more like a Secretary/Publicity agent to her father than she was his wife. It was her job to keep her and her brothers in sync with their father's job and reflect their father's warped view of perfection. Eventually their mother succumbed to cancer and died. That really broke the family apart, Her oldest brother Patrick began to mess with the wrong sort of crowds and get into a lot of trouble. Patrick's Twin brother Preston was killed in one of his Anti-something protests. As far back as Angelica could remember Preston had been against almost everything that their father was for. They never did mix well and Angelica was not very surprised when he didn't have Preston buried in the family plot. Probably because Preston changed his last name to Scott. 'It would be a waste of space'; her father recited as he signed Presto's burial papers and sent him off to be buried in their mother's hometown of Winhill. He didn't want Angelica to finish her last semester of schooling at Balamb Garden but she did. He didn't even want her to become SeeD. He wanted her to get married to this boy she had known ever since she was in diapers. Life was funny to her, shattered and broken dreams that people live with everyday. Like Seifer.... She didn't get him or his ambition. She was sure that he didn't get her either. And she was glad that he didn't like her because her father wouldn't be to fond of her bringing home one of the people responsible for the possible destruction of the world for dinner. She even heard her father talk about Seifer a few times. 'That Almasy must be locked up for the damage he has caused to this city.' Her thoughts were interrupted as she looked over to see Seifer sit down beside her. She could smell his blood that was on his coat and the semi-soaked bra that was wrapped around his arm.
"So captain.... Do you have a plan?" He asked looking to her and waiting for an answer.
"...No.... waiting here and dying..." She answered sighing and smacking he teeth.
"Well... I found a way out. . And I was tempted to actually leave but.... I remembered what happened the last time I abandoned my Squad members." He thought as he looked to her and let out a yawn. "I just realized you now owe me three favors because I saved your life."
"No you only did twice."
"I did you a favor in the library by letting you go."
"Oh yeah... maybe you do have three then." She laughed as he looked over to her and admired her smile, she did have a wonderful laugh.
"So we head out tomorrow and maybe Quistis can fix her damn battle meter so we can go back to the garden and graduate."
"Yeah... the ball...." Angelica remembered staring up at the moon. "Are you going?"
"Nah, dressing up just to hobnob with society is not my thing. Besides, I was thinking about having my own celebrations with a dear friend of mine I call Jack Daniel's."
"Well just think, you won't be there alone because I'll be there too." She looked to him and practically begged him to come.
"That will make four favors you owe me Captain." He laughed she frowned and shook her head. He leaned closer to her, getting lost in those oculars of hers. She leaned in too caught up in the moment and partially him. She kissed him as she felt his lips against hers she almost exploded on the inside. Seifer moved his tongue inside of her mouth and began to tongue her. She tasted sweet and pure and he had never felt such energy between someone, She broke the kiss as she reached for his hand and smiled softly as she rested her head on his shoulder, some things were best left unspoken.
