~Chapter 16, told by Fujin.
We got to her, and hurt her badly, but she vanished.
"Fuck..." Seifer panted. She was tough, and Seifer had been right. She did alot of earthquake attacks, which took alot out of me, but we were okay.
"...That was hard, ya know?!"
"AFFIRMATIVE. WILL FINISH NEXT TIME."
"That's right... Lets head home, everyone..."
"How are we gonna get home from here?" Raijin asked.
"GOOD QUESTION."
"Ya hear that, Seifer, a good question, ya know?!" It turned out the Shumi were happy that we rid them of the sorceress, and funded our ride home. Raijin started cooking immediatly, and I just went to bed. I was resting- not sleeping- when Seifer entered the room.
"You gonna eat...? Raijin and I already did..."
"NEGATIVE."
"Okay, well I'm beat. Goin' to bed. Unless you want me to sleep on the sofa- or floor..."
"STOP THAT. IN. HERE. FINE..." I found it odd- that he hadn't mentioned the kiss we shared... I mean, he acted as if it had never happened... As if it was just a dream... Maybe it was. I thought so... He grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom to get changed, when he came back in, he wore dark blue pants. He climbed into bed and layed so that he had his arm over me. Usually, he'll face the other way. We'll never face eachother- its like a rule of chasity in bed with a man- or something. I eventually fell asleep, woke up again at four- then went to work. Seifer was acting funny though. Quiet...
"Hey, Fujin!" Gina, said, greeting me.
"YES?"
"Where've ya been? I hurd that you and and Seifa were seen at a hotel in... Winhill. Is it twue!?"
"IS. NOT *THAT* WAY."
"Aww, when are you guys gonna do somethin'?!"
"ARE NOT. ROMANTIC. WITH ONE ANOTHER."
"Ooh, come on. You are a male, and female. You live together."
"ARE POSSE."
"..." She frowned, and took a customer's order... God, I hate her.
~~~
"Fujin what happened to your wrist?! Its bandaged, ya know?!" Raijin asked as we sat at the dinner table. I glanced up at Seifer, who looked at me.
"She did-"
"WAS-" We both started. I looked at Raijin, who eyed us both suspiciously.
"Erm..." Seifer muttered, giving me a "Well, tell him!" look. Tell him? Tell him, my ass.
"WAS INJURED. FIGHTING SORCERESS." I say, looking at Seifer, who rolls his eyes.
"Oh, I see, ya know?! Are you gonna finish that?"
"NEGATIVE. TAKE." I handed it to him, and sighed. Seifer went back to eating. I don't understand... I just don't. Standing up, I went outside, where it was still too cold and cloudy for a sunset. I frowned also, because I knew Seifer would ask me what conversation upset me. That's just the way things work. He would've forgotten, had Raijin not brought up my wrist.
"...Fucking bastard." I muttered, dropping my ciggarette onto the street below. I lit another, finished it, put it out- then dropped it. I did this until one time, when I went to put it out, I *really* hurt my finger tips. They bled.
"...Dammit." I muttered, pressed my two fingers against the sleeve of my shirt.
"Hey..." ...What the hell do you want, Seifer?
"GREETINGS." I said, lighting up again.
"...Fujin?"
"YES?"
"Will you do me a favor?"
"WHAT?" I asked, knowing I'd end up saying yes.
"...Stop."
"STOP WHAT?" He took the cigarette out of my mouth and tossed it to the ground. He kissed me. It was clear he wasn't half asleep either.
"Raijin... cannot let see..." I muttered, still close to him.
"I sent Raijin to find out more on the sorceress..." He kissed me again. Seifer... At least... explain yourself.
"Seifer... Explain."
"Explain what?"
"Why you are doing this to me..."
"Because... I care for you alot Fujin, I want you to know that too..."
"Seifer..."
"Shh." He continued to kiss me and, I kissed him back. We continued this just until Raijin got back.
"Hey, you guys!" We broke away immediatly, and looked at Raijin. He didn't see anything.
"The sorceress is in town tonight! She's meeting with the General, ya know?!"
"...Good... We can go in and get her."
"AFFIRMATIVE." I managed. We went to bed, and I couldn't figure out where these emotions from Seifer where coming from... I glanced over at him sleeping next to me. Seifer... Tell me where the feelings are coming from... what they are... He rolled over on top of me.
"SEIFER. WAKE. PAIN CAUSE." He just rolled back over. I curled up on the matress, trying to stay warm. I only had until midnight to sleep, since then we had to go in to get the sorceress- again. I tried to sleep, I really did, but finally, at eleven, I realized I couldn't, so I got up and got dressed, then went into the kitchen and made myself coffee. Sighing, I went onto the balcony and drank it, staring out at the cold night air.
"Hey, Fujin!" I turned and seen Raijin.
"GREETINGS."
"I have to ask ya something, ya know?!"
"...YES?" Hm...
"Has Seifa been acting weird lately, or is it just me?" Yeah, I noticed that too.
"A LITTLE." I answer.
"Aw, good, I thought I was goin' crazy, ya know?"
"Mmhm..."
"I wonda what it is...ya know?"
"...SAME."
"Do ya think its got to do with the sorceress...?"
"MAYBE."
"What about us? His posse?"
"MAYBE." I don't know, Raijin... He kissed me... Not like a friend- like a lover. Why? I don't *understand.*
"Hey, you guys, you ready?" Seifer said, walking out to us.
"AFFIRMATIVE."
"I guess, ya know?!"
"You guess, Raijin? I don't want anyone fucking this up..."
"Okay, okay, I'm ready- really, I am!"
"Alright then. We should leave for the masion as soon as possible." Seifer said, eyeing both of us. Inter-posse romance... Hmm, this could get interesting... They were talking back there, but I wasn't listening... Seifer... care for me, enough to kiss me? I don't understand. He has so make everything so confusing for me... I closed my eyes, thinking about this... I guess I drifted off...
"FUJIN!" Seifer snapped. I looked up.
"YES?" I looked around. Raijin. He's gone.
"We're leaving now, Fujin... Wake up, will ya!?"
"APOLOGY."
"Mhm... Let's just go..."
We got to her, and hurt her badly, but she vanished.
"Fuck..." Seifer panted. She was tough, and Seifer had been right. She did alot of earthquake attacks, which took alot out of me, but we were okay.
