~Chapter Three. Told by Seifer.
I was sitting next to her, smoking one of her *strong* cigarettes, waiting for the apology to come out of me. Finally it did.
"Fujin."
"YES?"
"I'm sorry..." Here it comes.
"FOR WHAT?" You don't remember? It didn't bother as much as it was meant to... or?
"Last night, what I said to you..."
"OH. THAT. FORGIVEN." That was easy... Heheh.
"Thanks..."
"DID MEAN?" She asks, taking the cigarette out of her mouth, putting it out with her fingertips, and throwing it over the railing. Do you care, if I meant it or not? If you do, why?
"No." I say finally.
"OH..."
"Come inside." I say standing up.
"NEGATIVE."
"Why?" She pulled out another cigarette and held it to her mouth.
"Don't smoke so many of those, dammit! Fujin, there is no way that you are gonna die, and leave me alone with big and stupid in there!" I complained, grabbing her wrist and bringing her to her feet. Her cigarette was still in her mouth, so I grabbed it out and threw it over the railing.
"Hey! Pigs up there!" A voice called from down on the street. I guess it hit someone. Fujin started laughing, and it was the first time I seen her smile in a long time. It caused me to smile also.
"Come on. Inside." We walked inside, and Raijin looked at us, smiling nervously.
"What's wrong with you?" I ask, looking at him.
"N-nothin', ya know?!"
"NERVOUS. WHY?"
"I heard you guys talking, ya know?!"
"So...?" I say.
"But you were doing adultish things with poor, innocent Fujin." What?! Heheheh. Where the hell would he get an idea like that?
"AM NOT. INNOCENT."
"In that sense you are, ya know?!"
"AM NOT!"
"You aren't?" I say, looking at her, a bit surprised.
"NO. AM NOT."
"Who did you...?" She kicked me in the shin and walked into the bedroom.
"Raijin, are you sure it's not that time...?"
"Positive, ya know?!"
"Either way, I didn't do 'adultish' things with Fujin. ...Even if so, we ARE adults now."
"Oh, yeah, ya know?! But I heard ya's talkin'..."
"We were talking about cigarettes..."
"Oho! ... You smoke?" ...I give up. I friggin' give up.

Sighing, I sat on the sofa, and turned on the news. There was some interesting stuff going on in Balamb... (not really), and then they got to Galbadia's news. A new sorceress... That's not Rinoa. Oh, maybe I'll go off and be her Knight. It's not like I've got anything better to do.
"DON'T THINK. ABOUT IT. SAID NO MORE. KNIGHT." I looked up to see Fujin, who glared down at the television from behind the chair I sat in.
"I wasn't. Honest."
"...SURE." Hmm, so, Fujin, you aren't virgin? I always thought you had morals. Damn... Hehe, I wonder who the lucky fucker was... And I don't use the term "fucker" loosely. Smiling contently to myself I looked up at Fujin, who was standing there still.
"Did you want something?" I ask.
"NEGATIVE." Okay, don't question the presence.
"You gonna find another job?" I ask, finally.
"FOUND. ALREADY." ...Whoa.
"Where?"
"BAR. NEAR CARAWAY."
"Serious? That's a real high-class bar."
"Mhm..."
"What hours do ya work?"
"SAME YOU. LONGER. ONE HOUR."
"Oh..." Hmm... well, to be honest with you, I don't work until four. I work until 2:30pm. I go and get drunk for the rest of the time. I'm pitiful. I know. A pitiful bastard. I'll just start working until five now too. ...I wanted to apologize, but the truth was I just think of myself as a failure, but I don't want my posse to know that... I can't let them know that I *am* a failure... Can't even live out my dream...
"SOMETHING WRONG?"
"N-no..."
"I SLEEP. SEE YOU."
"Good night." She left, and an hour later, I walked into the bedroom. Raijin decided to sleep on the chair tonight. That's okay, he does that alot. The chair has a foot rest that folds out, and its cushioned. Maybe more comfortable than the bed... er, well cot, Fujin and I share. Originally, it was going to be me and Raijin that got the cot, but Raijin said a female shouldn't sleep on the floor, so Fujin sleeps with me. Nothing ever happens, so don't even fucking think it. I layed next to her. She says I'm a pain in the ass because I change positions so many times during the night. I say I don't, she's just dreaming... Oh well. I fall asleep. Sleep is good.
"SEIFER. AWAKE!"
"Wha..?" I mutter only half conscience.
"CRUSHING ME. ARE ."
"Wha are ya talkin' about?" I ask, sleep taking over me again.
"ON ME! CRUSH! PAIN!" Then I realize I'm laying on top of her. Maybe I do sleep oddly. Oh well... I sit up.
"Sorry."
"IS FINE."
"We gotta get ready for work."
"Mm..." We got ready for work, and left. I'm tired... But, that's my problem, and I'm not in the complaining mood anyway...
So, we headed our seperate ways. A failure... and a women with full potential of a future, had the failure not ruined it.
