"SORROW."
"I hope so, ya know? It's not like I can keep this kinda thing from Seifer for long. It took lot's of threats before I managed to shut that Squall guy up, ya know?"
"REGRET"
"Yep. I hope it stays that way, ya know?" The huge man with the staff waved it around his head and slammed it into the ground.
"NEVER AGAIN."
The huge man shuddered. Tough as he was, the mere thought of having been found out by their leader that they had lost to Squall was horrifying. And in a casual challenge, no less!
"Never again, ya kn.. eep! (Ya know?)"
A blond in a white trench-coat suddenly strolled round the corner. He was whistling happily to itself, twirling an obscenely large gun-blade on his pinky. His eyes lit up, and he threw his blade into the air, catching it neatly in his pocket.
"Rai! Fu! Why're you wandering around the dormitary?"
"Um, like, we were hoping to catch Ze.. I mean, the chicken-wuss, on his T board, ya know? So we could like, book him, ya know? Ya know?" Rai jin stammered while Fu jin hastily hid her hand behind her back.
"Good! Good! Well, I was just talking to the headmaster about some of these cards that I found." He flourished a deck of gaudy cards.
"TRIPLE TRIAD?"
"Yeah, well, the headmaster don't like Triads much, and he thinks these cards a triple the problem. So he asked me to fine all those found carrying... Fu, what is wrong with your hand?"
"NOTHING."
"Are you sure? Let me see..." Fu jin blanched.
"INCONSEQUENTIAL!"
"No, really, let me... " Seifer tugged Fu jin's arm out from behind her and was momentarily stunned by a shower of colourful cards.
Seifer's lip turned up, showing a canine.
He sliced every single card neatly in half. Then he burned them.
*****************************************************************************
"Let me get this straight."
The other two member's of the disciplinary committee stared at their boots glumly. Fu jin was silent. Rai jin's lips were moving more or less continuously. He seemed to be asking his boots whether they knew something, although it was unclear what it was they were supposed to know.
"You, Fu jin, challenged Squall."
"YE..."
"Do NOT, interupt me when I'm speaking."
"BU..."
"WHAT did I just say?" Seifer pantomimed a man listening intently for something. Fu jin shutup. Rai jin went right on with his "ya know"-ing, only much more rapidly and much more quietly.
"Thank you."
He skewered Fu jin with a glare.
"You LOST."
Fu jin blushed. At least, her face became a little less pale. It was hard to tell.
"And now, I have to avenge you, as is the role of leaders everywhere."
"NO..."
"SILENCE! If I say you will be avenged, you WILL be avenged whether you like it or not. It is over my dead body that I see the disciplinary committee lose to some one like Squall."
Seifer spat. It was quite impressive. He left a large splotch on the floor.
"Ya know, this is my room, Seifer, sir, ya know, so could you please be a little less... (yaknowyaknowyaknow)"
Rai jin stared into Seifer's eyes.
"I'll spit where I want."
"yaknowyaknowyaknowyaknowyaknowyaknowyaknowyaknowyaknowyaknow........ ............"
*****************************************************************************
Seifer growled.
"Just how much more of this crap do I have to go through?"
"SOON."
"Just a little more Seifer! The damn dino's gonna fall soon! Like, ya know!"
All of a sudden, Fu jin managed to concentrate enough will power into her GF, Pandemona, and the T-rexsaur gave a muffled shriek as it was compressed into a thin piece of card.
*****************************************************************************
"AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Watch, how, under my command, the accursed saurian has been turned into a piece of cardboard! Wonderful!" Seifer was practically screeching into the rafters of the training centre. Other students were giving him odd looks, and the guy who sold supplies in the training centre had long ago packed up his wares in disgust and irritation.
"Wow. Look at him go. You'd think he never got a card before, ya know?"
"NEVER."
"Like, really?"
"YES." Fu jin sighed. Rai jin was shocked. He'd never known Fu jin to make any noise beyond her loud pronouncements. Oh, and her snoring. And the sounds she caused whenever she dismembered her opponents. But that didn't really count.
"Now, let's go kick that Neonheart's ass form here to Trabia!"
Fu jin shook her head.
"NEED FIVE CARDS."
There was a muffled scream. Cid wondered whether he had accidentally ordered any new monsters recently to stock the training centre but, no. There should only be the grats and the T-rexsaurs. He was perplexed. That didn't sound like a student in pain. It barely sounded human, actually.
He tugged his waistcoat and stared into the air.
