Hello, first off I'd like to thank all you who have reviewed, without you, I'd probably think this was crap and stop writing it. Please as before, the more Reviews I receive, the faster I will add chapters. So R/R thanks.
Unexpected dilemma
**********
Squall walked out of Caraways mansion without looking back. Fool, I told him I would kill him; I don't know why that idiot ever followed Siefer. Squall walked to a taxi, and hopped in, telling the driver to take him to the train station. I have to get to Esther now, I guess the best way to do that is to go to FH with the train systems, then walk the rest of the way. God, what is he doing to you Rinoa, what is he planning; what in the hell did he mean by sacrificed?
Squall jerked awake when the cab driver turned in his seat and asked for his fee. Squall jerked a few bucks out of his pocket, handed it to the man and stepped out. He walked over to the train station and got a one-way ticket to FH. He boarded the train, in silence, just giving slight nodes to those who would even say high to such a dark, and mysterious man, as he appeared to be.
Squall walked into his private See-D room, and laid down on the bed. What am I going to do? What can I do? Squall stood up and began to pace about the room. All I know is that her life's in danger, and I jumped in to save her without a second's hesitation; I knew I still had feelings for her, but by doing that, I guess it must mean I still love her. And I know I will do anything humanly, no, possible by me, to find her, and there will be hell to pay if she's harmed. Squall balled his hand into a fist and tensed it with all his might. I swear it.
Squall looked around the room, I really should eat something, It's been a while since of eating anything, and it's been weeks since I've actually eaten as much as my body needs. Squall walked over to a service phone, and ordered some cold food for himself. He walked back over to the bed, feeling suddenly bad, just sitting down, enjoying eating, while god knows what, is happening to Rinoa. Squall reached over to the end of the bed, and brought out the Lion heart. He stared at it affectionately, like a friend almost, a friend that would never let him down, never leave him, would be there for him, for as long as he lived. And this 'friend' was now going to help him save the women of his life.
Well I'm not going to sit here and not do a damn thing. Squall thought as he brought out a sharpening stone, and began to put a finer edge on the blade, which was extremely hard, considering it was made out of pulse metal.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. When Squall went to see who it was he was surprised to see a young lady outside his door. She was about 5' 6" and had a very nice body, red hair, and she had a fear written all over in her deep blue eyes. "Yes?" Squall simply stood there, waiting for a reply from this young woman.
She coughed, her nervousness obviously showing, and also something else, something Squall thought looked like hope, but he wasn't sure, and really didn't care.
"Please mister, I know you're a See-D, and I'm in trouble, can you please help me?" She looked very desperate. "I'm sorry miss, I have more pressing matters to attend to." Squall started to close the door, when she burst into tears. My god, she reminds me of Rinoa throwing one of her fits…she would do it over nothing, but when she did it I would do anything to make her happy, even if it was just a trick to keep me there. Squall inwardly smiled, but didn't let his outward expression change, except to become more soft. "Alright, come in and tell what's the matter." Squall stuck his thumb over his shoulder, indicating for her to go by him.
But instead she jumped into his arms. "Thank you! Thank you so much, I knew you'd help me!" She continued to hold onto him, without any signs of quieting soon.
"Hey! Come on, get off of me!" Squall pried her off, and then drug her over to the bed. "Sit." Squall said, as he went to get a chair to sit in.
She complied by sitting daintily on the edge of the bed. Squall grabbed a chair and brought it over to the bed side, and sat down. "Ok so what is your problem?"
She looked down for a few seconds, "well, you see, my boyfriend…ex-boyfriend and I were in the back of the train, admiring the sites as we went by, we, we started to kiss, but he kept wanting to go farther, and when I asked him to stop, he, he…he smacked me." She burst into tears, "I started flailing around, trying to get out of his grasp, when I saw a pipe, I grabbed it and hit him on the head, but I don't think he'll be out that long, please can you do something? I don't want to go back with him, please help me, don't let him get me!" She started to beg Squall to help her.
Squall was a little disgusted at her weakness, but he wasn't one to not help a lady, especially one that was in danger of being raped. "Calm down…what was your name?" She wiped her face on the back of her hand, "N-Nancy" she finally got out.
"Well, Nancy, you don't have to worry about that guy, I'll protect you until we get to FH, he won't be able to…" A loud banging on the door interrupted Squall. "Let me in damn it, you have my girl in there!"
Nancy burst into tears again. Squall looked quizzically at her. "I take it that's him?" She nodded her head yes. "Well then I can take care of this right now." Squall stood up, and started to make his way over to the door. By the time he got there, the man outside was ramming against it trying to break it down, while he screamed for him to let her out.
Squall stood off to the side, beside the door, and waited for the right second to open it. Bastard, trying to rape his girlfriend, I'll have to teach him a lesson about respect for women. Squall heard a loud bang, he waited for half a second then pressed the open button on the side, right after it opened the man came barreling through with his shoulder and head down, obviously ready to ram the door again. But what he did was trip on Squalls outstretched foot, and fly through the air about five feet, finally coming to a land on the coffee table, which broke In half, and shattered under his wait.
Squall heard Nancy screech, but he ignored her. And walked over to the man, as he started to get up. Squall reached down, and grabbed him by the throat, and easily hoisted him up, and slammed him into the wall, holding him 3 inches above the ground with his one arm. Squall examined him, he was as tall as he was, had big bulging muscles under his shirt, and jet black hair, looked like he was some kind of an athlete. Squall frowned as he saw just a small trickle of blood go down from a cut lip. Now that just isn't going to do. Squall thought, then hammered his fist into the guys stomach, his eyes bulged, and his body contracted, trying to bring himself into a protective ball, but squall just slammed his head back against the wall.
"W-Who are you, what do you…want?" The man managed to get out.
"My name is Squall Leon heart, I am commander of the expertly trained See-D mercenary force, and what I want is to be left alone, but when this girl came in here, I lost that. And do you know why she cam in here?" Then man started to shake his head, but Squall just hammered him in the stomach again, and slammed his head back against the wall. "Don't ever lie to me. She came in here because a piece of trash tried to rape her, and guess who that piece of trash is." Squall let go of the mans neck, letting him fall to the ground. He instantly got up, and tried to punch Squall in the face. But Squall simply, ducked under the offending strike, and uppercuted him in the chin, sending him flying backwards into the wall, where he slumped down. "Yeah, she said he was trying to get her to have sex with him." Squall reached down and drug the guy into the middle of the floor. "Said when she tried to tell him to stop, he just kept going." Squall kicked him in the side hard, lifting the man off the ground a foot. "Also said when she tried to get him off of her, that he slapped her." Squall kicked the mans head, causing him to fly backwards onto his side. "Yeah, she said he was you." Squall stood over the man, who was curled up in a whimpering ball, mumbling something about not hurting him anymore. Squall let him lay there for a minute, then reached down, grabbed him by the hair, and drug him over to the side of the bed. Making him practically lay down in front of Nancy, who had her knees up to her chest hugging them, slightly rocking back and forth. Squall prodded the man in the side, "I think you owe this girl an apology."
Then man mumbled something incoherent.
Squall reached down, grabbed his hair, and bashed his head off the floor, "a little louder perhaps?"
After regaining his senses, he gave the apology that Squall wanted to hear.
"Good, perhaps your learning respect now. But now It's time to go." Squall grabbed his collar, and drug him out into the hallway, and down the corridor, until he found a bathroom, where he left the man, mumbling in the bathtub, Squall started to shut the door, when he thought of something. "Oh, and buddy, ever even think about doing that to another girl again, and I'll hunt you down and kill you…have a good trip." And on that note, Squall shut the door and walked back to his room. When he arrived he found Nancy stuffing the now arrived food he had ordered down her throat.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" She ran up and jumped in his arms.
The hell is she doing damn it, bad enough I had to waste my time helping her but now she has to act like a pest? Squall effortlessly threw her onto the bed, sat down, and started to eat. "So when do you plan on getting out of my room?" Squall asked between bites.
She had a puzzled look on her face. "B-but, don't you want me? After all it's the least I can do for saving me from him." Squall slammed his cup onto the table, frightening Nancy to hell. "Listen Girl you came into my room, and disturbed my important work with your witless crying, I have to beat the shit out of the man who hurt you, when all you had to do was go upfront where there are armed guards, and after all that, you throw yourself at my feet like a whore, when this all started because you wouldn't have sex!"
Squall looked at her, she had tucked her legs up to her chest again, and was crying. Squall sighed. "Listen to me girl, Nancy, go back to your room, grab all your clothes, and belongings, take all of that guys money, and go to the front of the train, when we get to FH, go to the mayors house, he is a pacifist, and so is his wife, if anybody can give you the emotional chit-chat, that you need it's them, now leave." Squall went back to his food without looking at her again.
After a few minutes if finally hit her that he was not going to jump all over her, and in fact meant what he said, she inched off the bed, and walked slowly over to the door. She glanced back to see if he would follow her, or would at least say good bye, but all she saw was a man, deep in his thoughts, sitting at a table eating, not even acknowledging her existence. "Thank you." She said meekly, before going out the door.
Squall sighed, "good she's finally gone." He ate the rest of his meal and lay down on the bed. And all he could think about was Rinoa. Gods Rinoa, please be safe, please stay alive, and please know that I'm coming, and will take you away from whatever their doing to you, I can promise you that.
Squall drifted off to sleep, dreaming about a quiet time after Ultimicia's defeat, when he and Rinoa had each other in mindless bliss, and love, it was the times he would always remember, always dream about; until he rescued her, and together they would be in bliss again, they would make new dreams, they would make the joy they had before seem like nothing, for they would have each other. And what else can you really ask for in life? Than to be with the one you love.
"All passengers, we have arrived at our destination, FH, if you would please grab your luggage, and proceed in an orderly fashion to the exit, thank you, and have a good day."
Squall jerked awake. Aw, damn it; I was just finally starting to get some rest. All well, it's time I get to Esther; I've already wasted enough time. Squall got off the bed, and grabbed all his things, and prepared to depart. But when he cleared his door, he saw Nancy running at him waving. Ah hell! What can she want?
