aznchika: I'm at it once again! More to my ficcy! Yay!! Anyway, enough
of my blabber, let's go on with the story!
- - - - -
I had left. I didn't even bother telling Cid or Edea. The only ones who knew I left were Selphie and Irvine. And I was sure they would tell Cid... eventually. But I didn't really care at the moment. I only had one goal. And that one goal was Seifer. I had to find him. And soon. Selphie had told me to go to Fisherman's Horizon to look for him there. Maybe he was there, maybe he wasn't. But in order to find out, I had to go there myself. So I did. In fact, I had just arrived at Fisherman's Horizon. It was a long and uncomfortable trip, so, before I would search for Seifer, I went into a little café and order a small meal. As I was munching on my meal slowly, I gazed out the window and faced the sea. It was beautiful. But something else caught my eye. Someone by the pier. He was quite large and tanned. He had dark hair and looked awfully familiar. But I just couldn't grasp who.
After I finished my meal and paid for it, I quickly went outside and walked near the pier to see who this man was, as I was nearing, I heard voices. Familiar voices. I hid myself behind some large crates lying around and peered into a small hole formed by a few crates. And then I saw her. I hadn't seen her since the Sorceress Wars, and now I see her. In Fisherman's Horizon. She was talking to the man sitting on the pier fishing. Then it hit me. Fujin and Raijin.
"Where's Seif? He's been gone for a while, ya know?" I heard Raijin ask. He didn't once leave his sight off the fishing pole.
"FOOD." Fujin responded in her usual tone of voice.
"It's weird, ya know. Ever since Seifer left Balamb again, he never told us what happened. It's like a conspiracy, ya know!"
"IDIOT." Fujin kicked him on the side really hard. He dropped the fishing pole and backed away from Fujin. A mischevious grin appeared on her face as she slowly walked closer to him. He kept on backing away, and then suddenly... he fell into the water. Fujin began to laugh and soon a third voice joined in. Seifer.
"Still letting poor, little, innocent Fuj torment you?" Seifer laughed. Raijin climbed out of the water with Seifer's help and glared at Fujin.
"What took you so long? I was beginning to starve to death, ya know!" He grabbed the bags Seifer brought and began gulfing down various snacks.
"Raijin! Slow down, you're gonna choke or something!" Seifer laughed. I couldn't help but laugh at those three. It was a bad move to laugh out loud, but I did anyway, and the three heard me.
"Who's there?" Seifer walked towards the crates with his Hyperion drawn out. The other two just watched him. I took a deep breath and stood up.
The three of them were obviously surprised to see me. Raijin stopped eating entirely, Fujin opened her mouth in awe, and Seifer dropped Hyperion. We stood like that for a moment, no one daring to move, until Seifer bent down and picked up his gunblade and began walking away from me. I ran out from behind the crates and called his name, but he didn't stop, or even turn around. He just continued walking away from me. He was still angry with me. I knew that.
"I get it now..." Raijin began. "Seifer left the garden because of YOU." He looked at me accusingly and continued. "I never knew Seifer went soft on a girl, ya know."
"SHUT UP." Fujin kicked him in the shin and ran after Seifer. Raijin followed, and ran after them, of course, half limping.
I just stood there, a little disappointed. I wanted to see him again. And yes I did. But I also wanted to talk to him, unfortunately, he hadn't forgiven me. I felt my eyes water, so I sat down at the pier and cried all the tears I could cry out.
* * *
I was now walking aimlessly through the dark streets of Fisherman's Horizon. I did go looking for Seifer, but I couldn't find him. It was as if he was avoiding me, but I guess, I couldn't blame him after what I did to him. As I turned the corner to a dark, deserted street, I began to panic a little. What if there were robbers? Or what if someone would come out from the darkness and try to rape me?! I could feel my heart beating faster, so I placed my hand to my side to grab my whip. To my horror, it wasn't there. I swore I made sure I brought my whip! So I turned around, only to become more terrified as I saw a tall blonde man holding my whip. Suddenly, I felt someone grab my arms from behind. The blonde man in front of me walked closer and smiled wickedly at me. He was quite built, somewhat like Seifer (only Seifer is better... ~.^) and wore a tight black shirt. Only I knew it wasn't Seifer because he didn't wear a trench coat, and his face WAS NOT like Seifer. He looked... ugly.
"Well, well. What do we have here?" He said to me, his face just inches away from mine. I struggled and managed to kick him... in THAT area...
"Fukk you bitch!" He swore, protecting... it. "Drug her!"
Suddenly I felt a cloth covering my nose and mouth. I struggled some more and tried not to breathe, but it didn't work, because as I struggled, I accidentally took a deep breath. Soon I felt light-headed, and then the next thing I knew, I was unconscious.
* * *
I slowly opened my eyes, still feeling woozy and weak. I was in a room. And I began to panic. I panicked even more when I noticed I was on a bed. I slowly and quietly lifted the blanket and saw that I wasn't in my clothes. I was in someone's shirt. A black shirt. And it was way too big to fit into a woman, which gave me the assumption that the shirt belonged to a male. I looked to my left and nearly screamed when I saw the back of a man. Blonde hair, black shirt, pretty well-built. My heart was beating even more. My breathing became uneven. Then I realized that he didn't notice I had woken up yet. So I weakly reached over to grab the candlestick sitting on the bedstand. Next I slowly and carefully walked towards him, then, WHAM, I hit him in the back of the head. Of course, he wasn't expecting that, for he fell off the chair and clutched the back of his head.
"Hyne Quistis! This is what I get for saving your life?!" He shouted angrily. Just then I realized who it was. Seifer.
"Seifer!" I screamed as I helped him up. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you! I thought, I thought... it was... him. I'm so sorry!"
"That was the thanks I get? Remind me, Quistis, next time, make sure I don't save you." He was still rubbing the back of his head.
"I'm sorry Seifer! It was just, the man I saw, had blonde hair and a black shirt. And all I saw was the back of you, and I thought you were him. And I saw that I wasn't wearing my clothes, but a black shirt, so I thought..." I broke down and cried. How did I let this happen?
"Quistis, Quistis. Settle down. When I got there, they were trying to... ya... and they had slashed your clothes, so when I brought you back here, I had to put you into one of my shirts. Fujin's gone out trying to find a store still open for clothes for you." He explained.
I began crying even more. Had they already... me? I felt like killing myself then. I just didn't want to know that they did such a thing to me. I felt Seifer's hand on my shoulder.
"Quistis. Don't worry, they did nothing to you. Just slashed your clothes. I got them back for you. Don't worry." He reassured me. I wiped my tears and smiled at him.
"Thanks Seifer." I gave him a hug, but he pushed me away gently.
"You need your rest Quistis." He said was he was about to leave the room.
"Seifer." I said. He turned around. "I'm sorry."
"What's past is past. I don't want to be reminded of it again." He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. So I guess, he didn't forgive me.
* * *
The next day, Fujin came bolting into my room all out of breath, but with a few bags in her hand. She smiled at me and told me to change into the clothes she had got me. I did so. She had got me a pink tank top with matching pants and sandals. She even got me a pink hair clip, a pink toothbrush, a pink brush, a pink washcloth, and even a few various pink makeup utilities. She was thoughtful.
"Thanks for the stuff Fujin. How much was it? I'll pay you back." I said at the breakfast table as I ate with her and Raijin. Seifer was no where in sight.
"GIFT." She said in her usual tone.
"Aww! You shouldn't have!" I smiled happily at her. And then added, "Where's Seifer?"
"Oh Seifer. He left this morning before you were awake. He said he'll be back around 8 tonight. After today, he's gonna go back, ya know." Raijin replied.
"Go back? Where?"
"DELING." It was Fujin who replied this time.
"Seifer told us not to tell her!" He hissed at his albino friend.
"RIGHT THING." She said, not bothering to look up, but continued to eat her scrambled eggs and toast.
"Oh." He replied, he too continued eating.
(So Seifer still lives in Deling then. Maybe I should just let him go. Afterall, he's been avoiding me lately. I guess, he probably moved on. 'What's past is past' He said that to me last night. I'm guessing he doesn't want to be reminded of the horrible things I did to him) I looked at my food unhappily. I no longer felt like eating.
"GO." Fujin suddenly shouted.
"Excuse me?" I asked the girl.
"AFTER HIM."
Had she read my thoughts? Did she hear what I was thinking? Or was I that obvious that I wanted him? How did she know about us? Did Seifer tell her what happened to us? Or was I just getting paranoid? Fujin got up and began clearing the plates. As she walked by me to grab my plate, she whispered into my ear, no longer shouting.
"Go after him. I know you love him, and I'm sure he still loves you."
I looked at her strangely, but all she did was smile at me, so I excused myself and quickly left. I had to find Seifer.
* * *
It didn't take long for me to find him. He was sitting at the pier throwing rocks into the sea. I walked right behind him.
"I'm fine Fujin. Don't worry about me." He said.
"But I do worry about you." I sat down beside and her jerked his head to face me. Obviously he was surprised to see me, but he didn't move away.
"There's nothing to worry about me Quistis." He replied coldly.
Just Quistis. No Instructor. No Trepe. Just Quistis.
"Seifer... I..." He cut me off.
"So how's everyone doing at the garden?"
No puberty boy. No chicken-wuss. No messenger girl. No cowboy. Nothing. He had changed. And he had changed a lot.
"They're fine. Squall and Rinoa moved to Winhill. Irvine and Selphie are getting married in a few months. Zell and Elena are getting married in two months." I replied, also throwing a rock into the sea.
"Heh, so Selphie and Irvine are finally getting married." He laughed and throw a rock to the sea as hard as he could.
"Ya." I replied.
He got up, brushed himself and began walking away, then turned around and said, "Oh, Selphie's looking for you. She says it's really important that you go see Cid. Before noon. Very important." He stressed the last two words.
I was about to go follow him, but Selphie ran towards me, out of breath.
"Quistis! There you are! I was looking EVERYWHERE for you!" She said between breaths.
"What's wrong?"
"Cid says he wants to see you ASAP. It's VERY important!" She said as she dragged me out of FH. Outside, Ragnorak was waiting for us. We quickly boarded and with Selphie's fantastic piloting abilities, we arrived at Balamb in no time. She then grabbed my wrist and dragged me to Cid's office.
"Miss Trepe. I demand an explanation as to why you left Balamb Garden without notifying me or Edea." Cid demanded. He was in a grouchy mood.
"Personal business." I replied to him, emotionless.
"Personal business or not. You know the rules to this garden Miss Trepe. You are not to leave the garden without notifying Edea or myself. If we are not present, then the one who is in charge. Miss Trepe, do you understand? We are responsible for all your actions taken in and out of the garden. If you were to blow up a whole city, Balamb Garden is to blamed, not just you, but the whole garden! Miss Trepe. Do you read me loud and clear?" He was beginning to shout. All he ever seemed to care about was his 'precious' garden. It got on my nerves sometimes.
"Yes sir." I mumbled.
"I can't hear you."
"Yes sir." I shouted to him and stormed out of his office without him saying 'dismissed'.
"That girl! She used to be such a wonderful child when she was younger! Look at her now! So disobedient!" I heard Cid yell.
"Hush dear. You don't understand what she's going through. She's not to be blamed." Matron defended for me.
I didn't want to hear either of them anymore, so I stormed off to my room, without even explaining or saying anything to Selphie. As I entered my dorm room, my sanctuary from everyone, I noticed an envelope on the door. Someone must of slid it through the bottom of my door. I picked it up and walked to my desk and turned on the light. I read the front of envelope. Addressed to Miss Quistis Trepe, Balamb Garden. (Who would write a letter to me?) I looked up to the top left hand corner and read the return address.
Seifer Almasy, 647 Deling Str. , Deling City.
I gasped.

Amiboshi: "Of course!"

Hoto & Ami: "Yay!!!" *Starts throwing confetti everywhere*
