Chapter 3: Terror at Balamb Garden
(Squall's POV)
"Seifer! What are you doing here?" I screamed at him. "Whoa, calm down Squall," he replied waving his hands in the air in an "I give up fashion", "like I said in my letter, I am only here to speak to the headmaster about something and I thought I could drop in and say hi."
"Well, you said it so leave!" I shouted at him. "Hey, I told you that I am only here to see the headmaster" he responded to my threat. I began to reach toward my Lionheart and he took a step back and left my office.

"Oh, thank god he left" I whispered to Squall after Seifer had left the office. "Don't worry I wont let him hurt you as long as I live." Squall whispered back trying to comfort me.
I rested my head on his shoulder for a while, before I decided to take a walk around garden. After a while of convincing Squall that I could defend myself, even if I had left my weapon in my room and forgot to mention it and besides, I would be in broad daylight.

(A good walk is all I need, Seifer wouldn't dare try anything and if he did I could protect myself. It sounded convincing enough when I said it to Squall, but it wasn't helping now. Even if Seifer has never actually succeeded to kill me, it was always Squall that had stopped him from succeeding.)
"Hello Rinoa" came Seifer's voice, "out on a little walk?" "What are you doing? You know that if Squall catches you near me he will kill you, right?" I asked him trying my best not to look like I was nervous. Adrenaline was coursing through my body, preparing me to run as fast as I could, but Seifer was faster than me and he knew it.
"Well then he can't kill me if he never finds out that I talked to you" Seifer told me as he began to pull out his Hyperion. "You are starting to draw a crowd Seifer," I pointed out to him to try to prevent him from doing anything drastic. "You really think that these people will stand up to me," he said as he started laughing.
"They might not, but I will," came a voice and the sound of a sword being pulled from a sheath. I turned around to see Squall standing there with his gunblade drawn and pointing right at Seifer. "We were only talking" Seifer told Squall.

"Yeah and you were only introducing her to Sorceress Adel in Lunatic Pandora," I replied. "Ouch, that's harsh," He responded. "Put your gunblade away and leave." I shouted at him.
Rinoa ran into my arms and whispered, "Thank you." I held her close and reassured her that I would protect her as long as I lived.
