Disclaimer: Well, these characters are so over used that they were on the discount rack at the grocery story and I picked 'em up cheap......I wish......no, they make to much money for squaresoft to even think of selling them to me...........*wipes tears* I'll live. I think. So Squaresoft still owns them.

~Flashback~
Squall stood in Dr. Kadowaki's office, trying to get the hang of curative magic before he actually needed to know it for being a SeeD. The phone on her desk rang and she told Squall to pause for a moment.
"Hello?" The kind doctor asked. "Oh, really. Oh, my. I'll head right out there. Of course. I have a student with me. Leonheart, S. Thank you very much, sir." She hung up the phone and then turned to Squall. "Well, I guess you are going to have a hands on look at an injury on the field."
"Why, what happened?"
"A girl was spotted out side Garden in the Alcauld plains. She could be hurt and we don't know if there are any injuries or not. Can you grab a couple hi-potions and a phoenix down, dear?" she asked as she mentally checked her curaga supply. "Always have things in stock and never under estimate damage even from the smallest creature." She mentioned before running out the door as fast as she could, Squall close on her heels.
They left Garden and searched the surrounding area. Finally they came upon a girl, probably around Squall's age, if not a little younger. To both of the doctors and students knowledge, the girl was not a Garden student. She wore a blue jacket, which made her sliver hair look as if it sparkled in the sun. She was on her knees, her hands placed over her face. Squall went to run up to her but Dr. Kadowaki held him back.
"Squall, never run up to an injured person, it will make them panic." she said softly to Squall, then continued slowly towards the girl. Just as they approached her, Squall could swear he felt a breeze. But when he looked over at the trees, they didn't move.
"Are you alright?" Dr Kadowaki asked, placing a hand on the girls shoulder. As she nodded her response, Squall noticed that her hands were covered in blood. And a lot of it too.
"Let me see." the doctor said and watched as the girl lowered her hands carefully, only to see a bloody mess where her left eye was suppose to be. "Oh, my." she whispered as she cast as curaga on the girl.
"Eye. Replace. Not possible." The girl said speaking for the first time, due to the effect that the curaga had on her. Squall could barely hear her, and if he hadn't actually been looking at her, doubted that he would have known she was speaking.
"You're right. I don't think we will be able to replace it." The doctor then cast another cure spell, and most of the blood disappeared from the girl face. "Could you tell me your name, miss?"
"Fujin." The girl replied.
'Wind spirit?' Squall asked in his mind.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
"Pandamona. Exchange. Junction."
Squall gasped. Pandamona. A GF. They had learned about the elemental GFs in class last year and what happened if you tried to harness a wild one. Pandamona was a violent wind GF, and often asked the person wanting to junction him to give up something they thought they didn't need. If the GF thought it was acceptable, he took the thing they didn't need, then junctioned to them, often making the person a wind elemental.
"Um, Doctor Kadowaki, you should ask her if she is an elemental. If she exchanged something with Pandamona, she may be a wind elemental without knowing it." Squall said, still feeling a slight breeze around.
The doctor looked at Squall in surprise, then looked at the girl and asked, "Dear, would you mind trying to cast an aero spell on that bite bug over there?"
Fujin nodded and then cast the spell quickly with no effort.
"Have you had any magic junctioned before?" The doctor asked, then Fujin shook her head no.
"Elemental." Fujin replied.
"Well, let's get you back in to Garden. Would you be interested in becoming a student at Balamb Garden?"
Fujin shrugged as Squall let her use him as a leaning post.
"It would teach you to use your powers to their fullest potential and you'll be able to use them for good."
Squall shook his head and then helped the new girl back to Garden. Only moments after they had returned to the infirmary, Seifer and Raijin came in. Squall was watching over her while Dr. Kadowaki made a report to Headmaster Cid.
"Hey, Leonheartl. I heard we had a new student." Seifer said as he looked her over.
"She was found in the plains outside."
"What was wrong, ya know?" Raijin asked looking at her.
"She became an elemental." Before anyone could say another word, Dr. Kadowaki returned.
"Ah, Seifer, Raijin. You are just the boys I wanted to see. This is Fujin. She just became a wind elemental. Because where you are a thunder elemental, Raijin, I was hoping the two of you could show her around and be her friends." The Doctor said, sitting down at her desk. When she said this, Seifer looked over at Squall with a look as if to say ' I Win, Leonheart.'

This was more of a filler chapter, a transactional piece as one may say. It also served as a way for me to give some background info on the story. I'm talking shit and I know it. Anyway, if it's too short for some peoples liking, sorry. I'm not a typing machine and this is not a good week for me. Anyway,
