The Crimes of Love

Disclaimer: I don't own this game. I promise It's getting better.

The door slammed behind Kira as she walked in. "Have a seat." Said Cid as he gestured to the chair in front of his desk while taking one himself. Kira, politely puzzled sat down.

"Squall came in yesterday." He looked up into Kiras eyes "He suspects something."

"Well, duh! You prolly sweated and pulled your ear while you lied to him!" she said

"He was very suspicious when he came in."

"I think I'm pregnant." She burst out.

Cid blinked, then sighed, "I told Quall you where on a secret mission. You haven't been on one for a while, what with Seifer and all. mabe it's time for you to go on one."

"What?" Kira blinked

"I'm sending you away." He said

"WHAT?! You can't do that! I'm a general! The best damn general you have! You can't just send me away-" she didn't get to finish. At that time a soldier burst into the office screaming, "THE GARDEN IS UNDER ATTACK!!! THE GARDENS UNDER ATTACK!! RUN!!" And with that he ran out of the office again. Kira walked out the door.

"Milady Sorceress, Seifer has been seeing the General." Janice bowed to the dim Sorceress

"Rise." She said, "And Seifer, what have you to say?"

"Milady, I wished to help you. For a while I've been trying to gather information."

"And what do you have?"

"Nothing, Milady. She's been very cautious."

"But without some sort of disguise?"

"Only my eye color. She thinks my name is Zach."

"Very well, be gone and try harder to gather more information. My soldiers are there right now."

Cid stood before the Main entrance of the Garden, watching the chaos, looking for someone, for a very small light completed and weak someone who was very special to him. He burst into the nursery where Lynda was hugging tightly to her 2 other kids

"WHERE IS SHE?!" he scream

Lynda was crying hysterically "They took her! They took her I could do nothing!" with that she bust out in irritating sobs.

Cid cursed her to Hell and ran out. He now stood before a quiet Garden, people lying everywhere, either drenched in blood, or crouched over a person drenched in blood. Soon Kira came in sight, Cid was glad to see her, but he took a good look at her. She was dragging a bloodied up leg, scorched marks everywhere where she had been burned, and worst of all, there was blood flowing from her side, where no doubted, they cut her.

Seifer cursed. He didn't want to. If fact, he wished he hadn't. The fact that he did gave a pang to him, made him wither with guilt and hurt. He was ready to die. He wanted to kill himself at the moment. But no one could ever know. he curled up on his bed, and soon cried himself to sleep.

"Kira" the deep melancholy voice said.

Kira turned, anger clouding her face, but then she saw who it was, her first reaction was happy, her face lit up "Seifer!" then curiosity clouded her face "What are you doing-" then fear as he raised his blade up high, the worst part was the hurt in her eyes when he did it. The hurt, the betrayal, the anger right before he slit open her side, and she fell to the ground. He bent down, took a ring from his finger, and placed it on hers, then whispered in her ear "The love you gave me, was sweet, non the less, but our own affair was a bitter mess. You gave me your love, which I gladly returned, and I gave you my dignity, far better earned. Now give me peace, as I will give you." With that, he raised the sword high above her long swan-like neck, and was ready to bring it down when

"Seifer!"

He looked up; sword paused right above her neck making a small gash.

"Let's go! We got what we wanted!"

He looked down, whispered yet again in her ear "Till we meet again, love." And ran off.

Kira woke up, very much aware of the pang in her side, yet very much aware how the pang paled to significance with a deeper much much more deeper pang in her heart. She felt a ring on her finger, and hated the feeling, yet loved it. She didn't know what to do. she was so confused, yet to infuriated.

Kira lay in the hospital bed, tossing and turning, the same visions going over and over in her head.

"Kira"

::turns:: "Oh, Seifer!.. Wait. what are you doing. why do you have your. NO!"

Next was the soft blowing in her ear: "The love you gave me, was sweet, non the less, but our own affair was a bitter mess. You gave me your love, which I gladly returned, and I gave you my dignity, far better earned. Now give me peace, as I will give you."

Then the pang, she cursed, she was angry, She should've known, she curled up in the Hospital bed, crying in her sleep.

Then in the hospital.

"She was lucky, Cid."

"It depends what you mean by lucky."

"She was lucky that she lived, she was lucky he cut her on the side and it went no where near the baby. It's a merical. The child she's carrying was supposed to be brought into the World, I'll be damned."

"You call that lucky?"

"Why, yes.." He droned on.

"Kira, Kira, wake up!" it was a far away voice at first, but she felt someone shaking a panged shoulder

"Wha?"

"Kira, you've slept enough! It's time for your next mission."

Kira bolted up "I do your bidding, Sir Cid."

"They took Faith! It's your job to get her back! PLEASE, Kira!"
