Part 10
Mei walked down towards the group. She walked past an open mouthed Zell and stood in front of Squall. 'I apologise for my fathers rudeness. He doen't like it when I go into the caves'
'Are you sure you want to do this?' Squall asked
'Yes,' Mei replied, 'I will help any way I can, I've travelled to those caves several time. I know my way blindfolded'
'That language you were speaking earlier..' Quistis asked
'Oh, yeah sorry about that. It's Trianian. It's practically a dead language but my father insists we keep using it' She smiled sweetly before continuing. 'Anyway thats enough talking, you must be tired from your journey. We'll meet in the morning to discuss everything.' Mei clapped her hands twice and 3 maids entered the room. 'Show our guests to there rooms please.' The three women nodded and ushered the group out of the hall. Squall and the others where lead down wide hallways and up a single flight of stairs to a corridor. Along the corridor were eight doors, four on the left and four on the right. The maids lead them to their separate room. One of the maids opened at Rinoas room. Rinoa nodded her thanks and entered. The room was huge. Well bigger than her room at the garden. As the maid turned to leave a small white hankerchief slipped from her pocket.Rinoa quickly picked it up and handed it to the young girl.
'Oh. Mechia Miss.'
Rinoa looked at her 'What was that?' she asked.
'Mechia miss' said the maid, 'It means thankyou.'
'Mechia Mei' Rinoa muttered.
'Pardon Miss?'
'Oh, nothing'
The maid nodded, leaving Rinoa in the room, smiling to herself
As the others were shown away, Zell had stood back and waiting for them to leave before approaching the girl by the window.
'When my father said he wanted me to ask the Garden for help, I didn't think they would send you' she said, her back still facing Zell.
'Are you dissapointed?' He asked
'No, just surprised' Mei turned to face him leaning against the windowsill. Behind her the sun was setting, turning the sky a firey red.
'Who are you?' Zell asked, 'And this time I want the truth'
Mei looked down at the floor and then at Zell. 'My name is Mei Sano, Princess of Triana'
Zell moved over to the window and looked out. 'Why did you lie?'
'I couldn't risk anyone finding out who I really was, my father dispises me fighting. If he had found out where I'd been.... I was about to leave when I heard someone mention you were in the Infirmary. When I got there you were asleep. So I left something on the Doctors desk to give to you'
'Then the gloves, they were from you?'
Mei nodded. 'I wanted to say thankyou'
'I thought you had. when you,.. you know'
'Kissed you?'
Zell blushed and nodded.
'To be honest I only did it because I didn't think I would see you again. After all it's not every day a handsome man rescues you'
Zell blushed a deeper red. 'Rescued you? I thought you could take care of yourself' he said with a smile. Mei smiled, 'Not all the time.' She took a step closer to Zell. 'Mechia Zell. Thankyou for helping me, and for not saying anything.'
Zell stared at her. Her dark eyes reflected the angry sun sinking low in the sky. Red streaks stained the pale nights sky. She blushed and laughed shyly as he continued to stare. Zell blinked when he heard her laugh, 'Man, She's beautiful..' Just as he plucked up the courage to say so, they heard a soft cough. Startled they both turned quickly to see Rinoa smiling sweeting and looking slightly embrassed. 'Great timing Rinoa' Zell groaned, just loud enough for Mei to hear. Mei giggled softly and gave an embrassed smile.
'So sorry to interupt' She grinned, 'but I thought you might like to know that your fathers looking for you Mei, and he didn't seem very happy'
Mei sighed loudly and look up at Zell, 'I'd better go.' Zell gave a weak smile nodded . Mei smiled back and dashed off to find her father. Zell released a small sigh and turned to glare at the young sorceress.
'What?' she smiled back at him, shrugging her shoulders
Rinoa made her way back along the corridor, but instead of going into her own room she went to the room opposite. To Squalls room. Carefully she pushed open the door and peered into the darkness. 'Squall?' she whispered, 'You in here?
'Rinoa? is that you?' came her boyfriends response. Rinoa crept closer and sat down on the side of his bed. 'Whats the matter Rinoa?' Squall asked in a worried voice. Rinoa smiled and led down next to him, burying her head under his chin She sighed contently as Squall pulled her in closer and kissed her brow.
'Squall'
'Mmm?'
'I love you'
Squall smiled. ' I love you too'
Part 11.
Sunlight shone through the windows of Squall's room. Rinoa stirred softly and opened her eyes. Pearing bleakly into the brightly light room, she saw a shape, remsembling her boyfriend, standing in the corner.
'Morning sleepy-head'
Rinoa smiled and streched, 'What time is it?'
'Nearly 0800'
'Can't you just say 8am like anyone else?' she teased
Squall smiled and walked over to the bed. He knelt beside her so his face was only a few centimetres away from hers. 'Sorry. I'll try to do better next time.' Rinoa grinned widely and pulled her hero in for a long kiss. Her hero. Yeah, that about sums him up. Squall had risked everything for her, and she loved him more than he would ever know. Rinoa moaned when he pulled away, not wanting end the kiss.
'Come on, get up. Theres plently of time for that later' Squall winked and playfully patted her behind. Rinoa, a little taken back my his upfrontness, looked at him opened mouthed. Squall grinned and headed out the door, leaving his girlfriend in a fit of giggles.
Squall padded softly down the hall and knocked on the door next to his. After a few seconds Irvine appeared wearing only a pair of sweat pants, his hat and a huge grin, 'Moring Squall!' Squall sighed and rolled his eyes. He peared past Irvine and noticed what looked like thin yellow material on the bedroom floor. Irvine followed his gaze and gulped. 'Towel' he said, very unconvicingly. Squall arched an eyebrow, 'Whatever... Just make sure your dressed in 30 mins' Irvine nodded and started to close the door. 'Oh and one more thing...' Squall said turning round, 'Tell Selphie to pick up her dress and get ready ' Irvine blushed and nodded. Closing the door, he heard a quiet voice from behind him, 'What did Squall want?' a small head appeared around the enterance to the bathroom. 'Nothing much princess' Irvine grinned, 'He wants us to get ready. I guess the meetings gonna start soon.' Selphie watched her love walk around behind her. She felt his arms circle around her tiny waist and his face nuzzle her neck, 'But we still have 30 minutes...' Selphie giggled as Irvine picked her up and carried her over to the bed.
A loud knock on the door woke Zell from a particually interesting dream involving Seifer being 2 inchs tall and him having a large hammer. Groaning loudly Zell turned over and buried his head under the pillow. Two more knocks rang out, followed by the muffled sound of Irvines voice.
'Hey! Zell! Rise and shine!'
Zell grunted a response which only lead the man to shout harder, 'If you aren't up in 5 seconds I'll send Selphie in!' he threatened. From his place in the hall, Irvine could hear the heavy padding of feet. Afew seconds later the door opened slightly and a bleary eyed blond poked his head round the door. 'Morning!' Irvine chirped, 'Squall told me to come wake ya. The meetings gonna start in ....' His sentence was cut short as Zell yawned loudly, shutting the door in his face. Irvine blinked and glared at the door, 'Come on man..' he pleaded, 'The princess wants to go through the plans...'
Irvine suddenly heard a flurry of movement coming from Zells room, and a call of, 'Be there in 10!'
Shaking his head, Irvine turned away from the door. Maybe he'd go call on Selphie again....
Racing around the room, Zell desparately tried to shower and get dressed in afew minutes. After hearing Mei's name, his heart lept about, giving him a huge burst of engery. Zell managed to pull on his gloves just as he heard others leaving. He burst out of the door and collided with something solid, causing him to fall to the floor. He looked up to see the chiseled face of General Kitase leering down at him. 'Sorry man, I didn't see you' Zell appologised. 'Obviously' the man sneared. Zell watched as the man walked straight by him. He was a alittle taken aback by the guys coldness, it kinda reminded him of what Squall was like before Rinoa. Always cold, never seeming to care and never smiling. Now it was like he had had a totally personality tranplant.Now Squall smiled, and laughed and on the odd occasion even made a joke. 'I guess love has a strange effect on you' he said to himself.
'Does it make you sit on the floor?'
Zells head shot up. Above him Mei's pale face peered down at him. Zell immediately clambered to his feet, his cheeks flushing slightly. Mei smiled at him, 'Were you having fun down there?'
'Tonnes' Zell grinned back, 'You really need to clean your floors better'
'Maybe you can do it later if your that worried about it. Come on,' She said taking his arm, 'Your friends are waiting for us.'
Part 12
Mei lead him down the corridor and round a left corner to a pair of dark wooden doors. Inside Zell could hear the voices of his compaions. He pushed the door open and stepped aside to let Mei through first. She smiled at him as she passed. Inside the room General Kitase glared at the latecomers, although Zell felt that his look was directed mainly at him.
'Sorry to keep you all waiting' The young girl said. She and Zell walked across the room towards a large table placed in the middle. Around the table were 11 wooden chairs. Squall and his group were already sat at the table. Zell quickly took an empty seat next to Squall. King Calnir was sat at the head of the table. Beside him sat Cerena and Mei. General Kitase stood and pressed a couple of buttons to his right and a large screen behind him lit up, showing a map of the western continent. To the left side of the river a blue circle appeared. Squall guessed it represented Triana. The General shuffled some papers in front of him befroe turning to address the group. 'We recieved a report last night that another town was attacked by the dragons Thankfully no one was hurt but at this rate we cannot go on defending ourselves for much longer. Its only a matter of time before our sheild give way'
Zell kept quiet.Was it just him or was that Kitase guy staring at him..
'I noticed your town was quiet.The people of Triana, where are they?' Squall asked. The general pressed another button and two more red dots appeared on the screen. This time to the right of the river. 'Across the river are two makeshift towns named Astana and Nadia. Most of our people have moved there. We found that the Dragons will rarely cross the river due to their dislike of water.'
'Why did you wait untill now?' asked Selphie, 'Why didn't you contact us sooner?'
Mei looked over at her, she was right. 'Why hadn't they asked sooner?.. maybe this could have all been avoided'. Her eyes darted over to Kitase, 'Some people decided that we could handle it alone,' She spoke out for the first time. 'It appears they were wrong.' She held her stare for a few seconds.
'Do you have any ideas to what they might want?' asked Quistis
The King shook his head, 'We have no idea as to why they are attacking the towns'
Nope. He wasn't imagining it. He was staring at him! 'whats his problem??'
Squall stood up, 'You said you could guide us to the caves?' Rinoa smiled to herself, he was always one to get straight to the point. Ever the warrior. Mei nodded. 'There is a back enterence to the caves. Behind a waterfall. It takes abit longer to get there but it's not guarded'
'And how do you know that?' Calnir asked, giving his daughter a knowing look. Mei answered with a weak smile. The king sighed and shook his head. Mei continued, 'We can take the cars across the river to the edge of Piet forest. Although we shall have to stop at Astana to pick up supplies.From the forest we'll have to continue by foot. Following the river, we should arrive at the waterfall in a couple of days. It will take about half an hour to check the cars over. If we leave soon after that we can be there before nightfall.' Squall was impressed, it seemed she had it all planed. The old king smiled, 'I put the safety of my daughter and the future of Triana in your hands' he said to Squall, 'Let us hope you will succeed where we could not.' Squall bowed, 'We shall not fail you my lord' Mei smiled at her new companions, 'Right then. If we meet down stairs in an hour?' She said looking around for approval. Squall and the others nodded back in agreement.
With that final word the company stood, as Calnir bowed his head to his guests. 'Goodluck everyone.' General Kitase stood by the door watching everyone leave. Just as Squall was leaving he was held back by the strong grip of the general. Facing him eye to eye Squall felt the hand tighten around is arm, 'I'm not even going to pretend that I agree with this plan but if anything happens to the princess...' The general began.
'Nothing will happen to her,' said Squall, 'You have my word'
'Coming from a SeeD that doesn't count for much'
Squall's eyes narrowed, 'The King doesn't seem to have a problem..'
'Calnir doesn't understand what he's dealing with...'
'And I suppose you do?'
'Just worry about the dragons. I'll watch the princess, shes very important to development of Triana.'
Kitase released his grip and walked away, leaving Squall slightly taken back by his attitude.
'Hey man, you coming?'
Zell had appeared through the door, 'Squall?'
'Huh? Oh yeah'
'What s'up?
'Zell, what do you think of Kitase?'
'What General Doom?' he shrugged, 'Dunno. But his attitude makes even Seifer seem friendly'
Squall smiled at his friend, 'Yeah. Better make sure you've got all your stuff packed, we leave in an hour remember'
'Yes Sir!' Zell called back while bounding through the door. Squall sighed and shook his head. He had a werid feeling about all this...
enjoy!
