*Disclaimer* I don't own Final Fantasy 8, and instead of poking fun at it, I'm trying to make a serious story here. So, don't sue, I own nothing. Seriously...
" Regret is the hardest emotion to deal with, it plays no part in what will be, or what has been"
Rinoa and the gang all sat in the waiting room of the Balamb hospital. They had been waiting for 8 hours, and every time a doctor came pass, they would all flock at him, now they had stop coming down their pathway. Rinoa was leaning against the wall with a blank stare of a solider that just saw her brother die. Zell was standing next to Selphie, they both were watching her closely. Her eyes were red, from crying, and she was just staring, staring at nothing. Irivine bent down putting a hand on her back.
"Rinoa?" Irivine asked quietly hoping to get some verbal return. But there was none, she just turned and stared at Irivine. He slowly stood up, he couldn't look at those eyes, and too much emotion laid in them. Irivine walked back down the hall, looking for some doctor till he saw Seifer.
Seifer was walking toward Irivine, quickly and powerfully. Irivine moved in Seifer's path. I knew something like this was going to happen Seifer thought bitterly.
"Get lost Seifer, you don't belong here..." Irivine lowered his head slightly glaring at him. Seifer sudden moved forward at the cowboy, grabbing his jacket collar and shoving him hard into the wall behind him.
"You listen cowboy, I belong where I say I belong do you understand?!" Seifer yelled in Irivine's face, Irivine was so caught off guard from Seifer's sudden rush he just gave a hopeless nod. Seifer let go of the collar sending Irivine falling to the ground. Seifer turned walking down the hallway toward Rinoa, Quistis, Zell, and Selphie. Zell was the first one, of course to charge at Seifer. Poor foolish Zell, always charging at me, foolish pride, Seifer thought sadly. Zell rammed into Seifer, pushing his entire body weight into Seifer's lower body. Seifer caught off by Zell's new strength rammed hard into the wall letting out a pained groan. Seifer then shook his head and flung Zell to the ground. Seifer then bent down and grabbed Zell's collar, dragging him upward and shoving his hard into the wall.
"Listen here chicken wuss.."Seifer started but was interrupted.
"You don't belong here.." Zell snapped glaring at Seifer. Seifer pushed him harder into the wall, Zell let out a hopeless groan of pain.
"Stop it!" Selphie yelled. Seifer glanced at Selphie then back at Zell, squeezed harder than before, choking Zell. Zell gripped onto Seifer's hand wincing.
"Seifer let him GO!" Quistis now stepped forward placing a hand on Seifer's arm. Seifer turned to her, and at the same time let go of Zell. Zell fell to the ground gasping for breath holding his throat.
"I just came.." Seifer started.
"Leave Seifer.." Quistis whispered.
"What?!" Seifer snapped pulling away from her.
"Please just leave.." Quistis pleaded looking at him. Selphie stepped in front of Quistis.
"You heard her, leave you're not wanted her.." Selphie spat in Seifer's face.
"Is this true Quistis?" Seifer asked looking at Quistis. Quistis just turned and walked away from Seifer. Seifer watched her walk away his heart breaking into two.
"It's not like I did it on purpose!" Seifer cried out.
"It's not like you helped.." Rinoa said quietly looking still straight ahead. Seifer turned to Rinoa, as if realizing that she was there.
"I tried! YOU pushed me away.." Seifer said taking a step back.
" I don't care, leave Seifer, that be the only good thing you did today.." Rinoa said with emotionless voice. Seifer glaring at Rinoa, turned and left the hallway, heading toward the elevator.
"Doctor, will he be ok?" A random yet caring voice asked. Squall was lying on a hard bed, that he could figure everything else was happening in slow motion. Pain, how much I remember you. Wasn't there something that I used to make you go away, oh yes I remember, drinking.
"I'm not sure, he has lost a lot of blood..." Another stern voice answered the first one. Who are these people, why are the hurrying about me? Why do I feel so weak, so lost. All I want to do is sleep, and these bastard people are keeping me awake. Why?
"Don't let him close his eyes, we might lose him.." The second voice again. Let me sleep damn you, I saved my princess, now I deserve to sleep. My eyes are so heavy, I wonder why. I'm just going to take a little nap...
"Doctor...his fading ..." The first voice almost screamed.
"Quickly try to get him..." The voices were gone, Squall had fallen into a coma.
Finally the doctor walked out of the room where they had taken Squall from Rinoa. Rinoa jumped up and bolted toward the doctor, following by Irivine, who whipped out his gun pointing it at the Doctor's throat.
"Tell us, or I swear I'll blow your fucking brain out!" Irivine yelled, he had been there to long, the strain of worry was visibly in his eyes. Guards rammed Irivine into the wall, and quickly punched him across the face, the defeated and tired cowboy fell to his knees.
"That's enough gentlemen.." The doctor said sternly. The two men nodded, and walked away .
"How is he!" Rinoa grabbed the doctor's arm shaking it rapidly.
"Tell me or I swear to god I'll.." Rinoa started.
"You're friend...well we can't tell how he is. His in a coma at the moment, and he lost a lot of blood. His injuries range from his head, to his side." the doctor nodded. Rinoa rolled up her shirtsleeve and trusted her arm at the doctor.
"Here, take as much as you need, please GOD don't let him die.." Rinoa whined looking at the doctor, her eyes filling with tears. The doctor sighed.
"What type of blood do you have?" He asked quietly
"Um.. A sir.." Rinoa weakly answered.
"That won't do...Squall is an O, a rare blood type... Do any of you have that type of blood type?" The doctor asked the worrying face. Everyone shook their heads. The doctor bit the bottom of his lip.
"This isn't good do you know anyone?" The doctor asked looking at the tearful Rinoa, who seemed to realize something important.
"I know someone..." Rinoa said.
I embraced my enemy only to strangle him
Seifer pushed the buttons waiting for the elevator to come up. He sighed putting his hands in his pockets, he hated it here, he wanted to get out of here as fast as possible.
"Seifer..." A voice said behind him, Seifer whirled around. He was surprised to see it was Rinoa, who was looking like she needed to say something that would be dangerous.
"Listen, Squall lost a lot of blood, and he needs a transfer.. but his is O and they're rare, but I know you have O blood type.." Rinoa stated rather quickly. Seifer glared at her.
"Why should I ?" Seifer asked narrowing his eyes. Rinoa bit the bottom of her lip then seemed to explode with tears, she fell to her knees and put her head in her hands.
"His going to DIE , Seifer, please don't you have any kindness in you? ANY...please Seifer, for the love of god, if you ever cared for me, do it for me. Please don't let my future die.." Rinoa sniffled looking up at him. Seifer was stuck between two cross roads, defeat his enemy finally hurting someone he once care for, or save the person he hated the most. What to do, what could he do?
