Truth
Raven watched him as Seifer slept, his blond lashes against his cheekbones. He looked vaguely feminine, like a porcelain doll. He was so beautiful lying there that she was afraid to wake him up. She moved slowly so as not to wake him and he opened one eye.
"Where ya going?" He said, sitting up.
"To take a shower before class. Why?" She smiled impishly, "Wanna join me?"
He laughed, "I would, really, but I'm tired. I am older than you are, after all."
She looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes, "only by two years."
"So?"
She made a sound as if to say 'whatever' "Fine i guess ill have to take a shower by myself."
She looked at him with fake tears in her eyes and he rolled his, "Fine," He said sighing and then smiling, "I'm coming.
She smiled and walked toward the bathroom and its deep stone tub. He smiled to himself and stalked after her.

An hour and at least a hundred towels later they were again in the practice chamber with its sand floor. This time it was with staffs instead of swords and another couple was beside them. Squall and Genesis were another couple from the Garden.
And then there was Ares. He was the teacher of the fighting class and he was the headmaster. But he was also Raven's uncle. He definitely didn't give her special treatment, but if anything, he pushed her harder than anyone else. She was becoming like her old self. Powerful and slippery as an eel. She moved like an animal.
"Today," He said to the four, "We are going to work on your reflexes." He looked up at the ceiling and smiled, "Sand bags on ropes. If they hit you they will hurt." He laughed as everybody looked at everybody else.
Then he had them blindfold their partner and had one go to the sandbags tied to the rafters. Seifer and Genesis were up first. Seifer was blindfolded and Gen went up top.
"Now," Ares said smiling, "Go."
Gen smiled and swung the first sandbag, which Seifer barely missed. Then she swung the second one and it hit him square in the middle of the back. Raven laughed and so did everybody else. He stood up and ripped off the blindfold, and anger flooding his eyes.
Then he heard some kind of telepathic voice tell him, 'That will teach you to mess with my sister and hurt her like you did.'
He looked around and saw that Ares had stopped laughing and was looking straight at him. He shivered. That gaze held hate and much, much more...Obsession.
