Chapter 2.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I think she is waking up." Rinoa heard as she opened her eyes slowly to find several faces looking down at her. Rinoa screamed and bolted out of the bed.

"Where am I!?" Rinoa asked in a hurry backing away as much as possible on the bed, "who are you people!?!?" she asked quickly once more.

"Were the Leonhart family, and we found you unconscious in the snow." Laguna said extending his hand for her to shake it. She took his hand and shook it lightly, "Where do you live young lady?" Laguna asked again. Rinoa didn't want to go back, she knew what was instore for her, death on the streets.

"I don't know." she lied. Squall gave Laguna an uneasy look, "I'm sorry, I'll leave." Rinoa told them as she got up but was pushed back down to the bed by a strong hand.

"You are staying here until you find where you belong." Laguna said firmly. Rinoa's face lit up.

"Thank you!" Rinoa yelled with excitement as she hugged Laguna tightly. Laguna pushed back from her.

"It's all right dear." Laguna told her, "what is your name?" he asked, everyone around her leaned forward except for Squall.

"My name is Rinoa." she told everyone. They all nodded, except for once again, Squall. Squall had obviously had enough of this, he rolled his eyes and left. Rinoa looked sad at his disapearence.

"Don't worry about him." Laguna told her, "he always does that." he said looking at the door Squall had just exited.

"What is his name?" Rinoa asked.

"His name is Squall." Laguna told her, "his name is Kyle, and his is Steven." Laguna told her as he pointed to each one. "and my name is Laguna." he told her.

"Well, we will leave you for right now, just feel free to raid the kitchen look around the house." Laguna told her as he made his way to the door, "remember you are family now." Laguna reminded her. Rinoa smiled at that comment.

"Finally, a family I can relate to." Rinoa said with a wide grin on her face. "I think I'll take his advice and explore the house." Rinoa said getting up. She opened the door to find a little bridge that connects to another room across the way, she was upstairs. She crossed the small bridge that was carpeted. She knocked on the door.

"Who is it!?" a gruff voice called back.

"It's Rinoa," she said, "Laguna said I could look around." Rinoa called back.

"Whatever." Squall replied. Rinoa slowly opened the door and looked around, the room was full of posters from different bands. It contained one Queen sized bed with un livable, to Rinoa's standards at least, floor, books and magazines scattered everywhere. Rinoa began to giggle. "What's so funny?" he asked gruffly.

"Your floor is multicolored." she pointed out as she looked down at the floor.

"Yeah whatever." he said he walked over to her and began to push her away but she just latched onto his arm.

"Can you give me a tour of your house?" she asked with pleading eyes. Once again Squall rolled his eyes.

"Fine" he said sadly. Rinoa giggled once more. They went down stairs, and made a right turn and she found them selves in the dining room, they made another right and found themselves in the kitchen, they made a left and she found the laundry room. They headed back to the staircase and made a right leading them to the family room where Kyle and Steven were fighting over the remote. They made a left and found themselves in front of a door.

"What's in here?" Rinoa asked examining the door.

"My father's room." Squall told her, "I've only seen it twice." squall said, "I don't know what he hides." Squall said quickly as he shook Rinoa off his arm and ran back upstairs.

"Thanks." she called back.
