Authors note: To tell you the truth, I don't really like Rinoa that much. I just happened to be in a free period in school and had a burst of inspiration. I can't edit it so please excuse its, uhh, weirdness.
Defending Herself by WitchHazel
I know what people think. They see me as the annoying little witch that broke down the defenses of the lone wolf. They see a prissy little princess who fights to get everything she wants, even though she had everything to begin with. They don't see that my perfect little existence, is not all that perfect. They believed me foolish when I was part of the Timber Resistance. They believed me stupid when I came after the sorceress. I must admit, that was actually pretty dumb of me, but people like to be blind to a person's inner layer. They prefer to see me as the rebellious daughter who can't support herself without a powerful man looking after her. I can see the look in their eyes when they gaze at me with mingled fear and resentment. The famous sorceress Rinoa. Though some people may not believe it, I really do love Squall.
When I saw him at the SeeD ball, I must admit I was intrigued. Who was that antisocial chunk of ice in the side of the room? I knew that this guy, whoever he was, had lost someone he loved early in life. I guess I am good at reading people. I tried being friendly with him, and only received a curt reply.
He was so different from Seifer. Seifer who loved the attention. Seifer of great dreams. Seifer was at a time where he needed someone to spill all his ambition on, and that person was me. I loved his little castles-in-the-air and his confidence. I think I hoped that some of it would rub off on me. I guess in the back of my mind I knew we wouldn't stay together, that it was just a little fling. But I hoped it would continue. We broke apart, but somehow continued our friendship. In the course of our relationship, Seifer never really hurt me. We were different, yes? But we enjoyed each other's company. He respected me. He alone understood my potential and power.
When he got SeeD to help me.
Whatever, that was all in the past. Squall was totally rude to me in the beginning, however, I hoped he was the one. I felt it. But with the way he treated me, I wasn't too sure. I persisted with the flirting and the wishing, often losing my temper with him, only to be met with a cold look.
I would have stopped, beaten, and then Squall had to do something chivalrous. I felt complete delight when he saved me, even though time was running out, even though I showed weakness. I knew I loved him then, I was determined to make him see that we had to be together.
So I melted his ice. I filled up the hole Ellone left in his life. Please ignore the cliché, but with him, I felt like a piece of the puzzle was completed.
I also know that people are predicting when we're going to break up. I sense that they expect Squall to get mad at my effervescent personality and blow up at me one day.
It's not going to happen, folks. I really do love him.
Author's note: Yikes. Does it conflict with Seifer's P.O.V.? Please review! Tell me which person (FF 8 character) you wanna hear from. How about. Selphie?
