He cleared his head by shaking it roughly. That was his accident, and
how it all started. How he lost his arm and how he began the chase. He
never regretted this turn of events though. If this never happened they
would have used him and he would have been completely oblivious to his
surrounding. He just hoped that he would be able to continue living the
life that he was leading, without the interference of them.

Squall was walking down the corridor to his office, even though he has now become commander, he still had tons of work to do. It just wasn't the work he enjoyed doing, he had paperwork.
I can't wait 'till this weekend, only two days away! Then I get to go on my vacation with Rinoa. Hyne! It has been such a long time since I was able to go on vacation.
Suddenly Squall was up against the wall. He was being pushed into the wall from behind. Squall with a small smile spreading across his face pushed off of the wall with his foot and forced his attacker into the wall on the opposite side. He heard the assailant grunt and fall away from him. Squall turned around with blinding speed, while extracting his Gunblade from the harness he wares by his hip. The tip of the blade mere millimeters from the attackers throat.
"Rinoa?" Squall said with surprise.Hyne, she has gotten strong. I wonder if that is the effects of me training her, or her new understanding and control of the sorceress powers in her.
"Coming all the way out here to ask you to lunch and look what I get."
Helping Rinoa up, Squall said," Now Rinoa, you know better than to sneak up on me and do something like that. I thought you were Seifer, you more than anyone knows what he can be like."
"Squall! I told you to forget about that. What is done is done."
"I was talking more about the time you two had together before we met..." Squall said with a devious sparkle in his eye.
Squall opened the door to his office and they both entered.
Rinoa now looking hurt said, "You should know that doesn't matter. I love you Squall, and you love me."
"Who said?" Squall now smiling broadly
"You did last night." Rinoa now the one with the devious twinkle, "Right after we finished our "activities".
"Hmmm, that was a good time wasn't it."
"Yes it was, but due to the comment I want you to say it again."
"Say what?"
Squall was now taking a seat at his mahogany desk, and looking through his papers, only looking up for a second to see the expression on Rinoa's face. She had an expression that could only be described as priceless.
"Fine, be that way, no more for you..."
"You can drive a hard bargain..."
"And if you want to ever drive anything hard again...you better say what I want to hear."
"I love you..." Squall said, a small blush coming to his face
Rinoa, who was now sitting on Squall's desk leaned down so her face was level with his and said, "I know.." She smiled and kissed him passionately.
She was now fully exploring his mouth with her toung. She still couldn't believe how much he has opened up to her in the last year since Ultimecia was destroyed. She broke her kiss and looked at Squall, who was obviously feeling the effects of their passionate kiss.
"Hmmm...,"Smiling to herself," What about lunch?"
"Screw it..."
"I hope so."

It was almost 12:30 and he realized that he had a meeting with the Commander. From what he has heard of the Commander he understood that he was a dangerous man to get on the wrong side of. He also understood that he was the one who saved the world, even though only certain people knew this. A few being The President of Esthar, President of Balam Garden, and those who actually did the job. He knew everything about that mission.
It was time for him to go. He left his room and walked down to the elevator and pressed the button marked Commander Office, which was really just the basement, nothing special. From the reports he read about the Commander's missions, he understood that this was once the office of Norg. But since he disappeared from the public eye soon after the Garden students learned of him, they had no need to keep the office the way it was.
It was now 12:45, he was late. He decided to run the rest of the way.
His door is closed. It is best I knocked, instead of just barging in.
He knocked on the door. There was no response, so he knocked again. This time however he heard a voice from inside say, "Hold on a minute! I am busy right now so could you please wait there for a moment?"
"Yes sir.."
He heard some rustling from inside. To hear better he placed his ear closer to the door, and that is when the door opened. He was surprised at what he saw. He saw a young, but very attractive, woman come out of the Commander's office. She had on what looked like a standard female SeeD uniform, there was just one problem. Her cloths were a mess. It was obvious to him that she had hurriedly put them on. That and her hair was a mess, which to him spelled out one thing. Sex. He smiled at her and bowed his head.
"Miss"
Looking at her as he bowed she looked very imbarased to be caught in the act. He really didn't mind that much, in fact he was happy for her. She found someone that made her happy. He knew with his past that would never be a posibility for him. That fact wiped the smile from his face and he realized he would always be alone. No one would ever be there for him. He would always have to run from everyone.
He now watched her hurry toword the elevator, fixing her cloths as she ran.
"Sorry sir, for interupting."
"Well it was unfortunate timing for me to have an appointment at this time. But even more unfortunate in that if you were on time, I wouldn't have been able to have gotten started."
"Well, for that I am sorry."
"Its okay. So, may I have your transcripts?" The Commander asked.
"Yes sir, Commander." He handed the folder with all his papers in it to the Commander, he was slightly nervous due to the fact that more than half of the papers were fake.
"My name is Squall, I hate being called Commander."
"Yes sir, Squall."
"Just Squall, from now on we are on an informal speaking arangment. No command titles will be used and there will be no mention of the word "sir". Do you understan?"
"Crystal..."
"Okay, now let me look at those transcripts..." Squall said, eyeing the papers carefully, "So your name is Strider, your weapon of choice is the Katana blade, and you are requesting to be transfered here from the newly established Cetra Garden? May I ask why? There seems to be more than adequate resources for you to finish your SeeD training there."
"Well Squall, I am requesting a transfer for personal reasons. If I was to tell you what they were I would possibly have to kill you."
"Heh, I like you, you're funny"
You thought that was supposed to be a joke?
"I suppose we could get you into a class, as long as you meet the prerequisits."
"And what would those be?" Strider said, now and intrest in the conversation.
"First we must inspect your weapon of choice. Then we must judge you on your skills that you already have to determine what level of training we will put you in."
"And who will be the judge of these prerequisits?"
"Me. I notice you didn't bring your sword, so if sometime later througout the day..."
"Who said I didn't bring my weapon? I have it right here."
With that being said Strider brought his right arm forward. For the first time since meeting him he saw the the robotic attachment. Strider just looked at him and flexed the muscles in his arm, making several blades emerge from it, all spiraling around his arm to an epicenter of one blade large enough to be considered a long dagger.
"What happened to your arm?"
"I wouldn't like to discuse that."
"Alright, I could understand that. So If you would come with me outside we will continue on to the second prerequisit. By the way, would you tell me what level of training you are hoping to be put in?"
"I was hoping to be put in the same class that I was in at Cetra. The advanced classes."
"Advanced! I am just going to tell you now that to get there you have to do especially well in the next test to get to that class. You will need to fight me and get this sensor on my wrist to read a maximum of 1,200 out of a possible 9,999. This sensor calculates a person's hit points by the amount of power and defense a person has. It takes the power of the creature or person attacking him and subtracts that from the defenders defense, that is how and attacks damage is calculated."
"I know all this. When do we start?"
"Even though you know you will be fighting one of the most skilled fighters on the planet, you are still willing to fight me? You got guts. Meet me outside in half and hour. That should give us both just enough time to get ready."
"See you then."
