¸.·´¯`·»Concerted Kidnapping «·´¯`·.¸
The thugs were easy to deal with. Two quick slashes with his Hyperion and they were down for the count. Soon Seifer found himself helping the golden haired woman to her feet.
To his great dismay it was not Quistis.
"I could have taken them" she spat wrenching her arm away from him. Her deep brown eyes were smoldering with anger.
"And you seemed to be doing oh so well from your spot on the ground" he sneered back rolling his eyes. She eyed him up and down dusting off her black pants.
"What are you? Some kind of circus freak?" she said with a snort.
"I happen to be a SeeD" Seifer said applying his usual trademark smirk. She rolled her eyes skyward planting a hand on her hip.
"Please, like that's supposed to scare me" she said turning to walk out of the ally way.
"Your welcome" Seifer called heading after her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"My pleasure" she called over her shoulder not realizing how well he was keeping time with her.
"I shoulda left you back there in the ally!" he exclaimed as she stopped short in front of a huge building.
"What are you stalking me now?" she asked spinning around to look at him.
"No, just wondering where to look if I ever need to rescue an ungrateful bitch" Seifer said grinning at her. She scowled fists balling at her sides. She turned and stormed into the building slamming the door behind her. Seifer smirked looking up at the sign over to door. The smile slid off his face when he read the words.
"The corporate offices of The Time Revolution Front" Seifer read them out loud shaking his head at his amazing luck. Now he knew exactly where to search for Quistis tomorrow. He turned whistling a slight tune as he headed back to the hotel.
The building in the day looked much like it did at night. Seifer stood out in front of it for a few moments a bouquet of freshly cut roses in his hand, a smirk on his face. He strode into the office announcing his presence by the door banging open. He was greeted with a small lobby, empty except for the woman from last night sitting behind a circular desk.
"What do you want?" the blond asked rolling her eyes. Seifer put on his most charming smile and sauntered over to the desk. He leaned on it a bit looking down at the papers she was writing. She hurriedly covered them before looking back up into his eyes.
"Tell Ms. Trepe that a Mr. Leonheart is here to see her" Seifer said the smirk never leaving him. She growled into the phone announcing a Mr. Leonheart.
"Ms. Trepe will see you. Right this way" the woman said standing up and leading him through a short hallway to an ornately carved door.
"Thank you dear" Seifer said winking at her before stepping into Quistis' office. He was greeted with the sight of Quistis sitting behind a large mahogany desk, her hands folded in front of her. She was wearing a black business suit, blond hair up in a tight bun. Her blue eyes narrowed when she saw him, lips forming a frown.
"Well, I knew you'd never let me in, So I thought I'd pretend to be Squall for a minute" Seifer said crossing the room sauntering like he owned the place.
"What brings you here, Seifer" Quistis asked watching in horror as he plopped down in one of her chairs and then promptly put both of his booted feet on her nicely polished desk.
"Well I wanted to bring you something" he said grinning at her. She raised an eyebrow as he handed her the bouquet of flowers. She took a whiff smiling pleasantly but still suspiciously looking at him. He grinned and pulled a shining red apple out of his pocket setting on the desk before her.
"I'm not your teacher anymore" Quistis said coldly. He nodded solemnly.
"Nida was. I passed the SeeD exam, Instructor" he said.
"Oh really? Well congrats" Quistis said.
"Does it just eat you up that I could do it with Nida, and not with you?" Seifer asked.
"You always said I was mediocre" she responded blandly. He sighed a bit shaking his head, it used to be much easier to get to her.
"Your still my favorite teach" he said grinning a bit.
"And you're still my favorite student, Seifer" she said her voice carrying a tint of sadness.
"What are you doing here in Timber?" Seifer asked looking around at the furnishings in her office.
"Accomplishing the one thing that the little princess never could" Quistis said coolly.
"So this is a Rinoa revenge thing?" Seifer asked.
"Yes, this is a Rinoa revenge thing" she said dryly with a roll of her eyes.
"Come back to Garden" he said his voice a bit commanding.
"Garden?" she asked quirking her eyebrow again.
"Yes"
"What do I have there to go back to?" she asked.
"My first mission is to bring you back. We are either going to do this the hard way or the easy way" Seifer said standing up slowly, placing both hands on the desk leaning over closer to her. She shook her head, the golden fish tail of her hair bobbing slightly.
"Squall kicked me out" she said.
"No, you left before Squall even said anything. Technically your still SeeD" he said smirking at her.
"What do they want me back for?" Quistis asked staring into his emerald eyes.
"Who knows, I just follow order. So you commin' or not?" he asked.
"You follow orders? Hardly" she said her voice still carrying that dry tone.
He was done playing her games.
He grinned and suddenly reached across the table grabbing her around the waist. He pulled her easily over the desk, slinging her over his shoulder.
"Put me down!" she shouted kicking her feet a bit. She punched his back, struggling to get free.
"Nope, it's time to go home" Seifer said striding out of the office easily carrying her weight.
"I hate you Seifer Almasy!" she shouted as the walked along the hallway to the lobby.
"Gee, I never knew you felt so strongly Instructor" he said arrogantly rolling his eyes. They entered the lobby, the blond girl hopping up from behind her desk.
"Elsbeth, call the town guard!" Quistis shouted at her still pounding her small fists into his back.
"What's going on?" Elsbeth asked as Seifer headed for the door.
"When the police arrive tell them that I have taken Ms. Trepe into SeeD custody" Seifer called over his empty shoulder.
"How dare you Seifer! You ungrateful arrogant pig! This is kidnapping" she screamed as he moved out onto the street.
"Politics have made you fat Quis, You sure seemed to have gained a lot of weight," he said shifting a bit. She began to curse hitting more wildly at him. The whole thing must have been a funny sight to look at. Seifer in all his tallness, gray trench coat swirling around him. The famous Quistis Trepe leader of the Timber Revolution front slung over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. None of the towns people bothered to look their way after spotting Seifer's free hand curled around the hilt of his Hyperion, and the menacing look in his eyes. Seifer could be a very scary man.
Getting her onto the train proved to be no problem. He strode in and went directly into the SeeD cabin. The conductor asked no questions preferring to leave SeeD matters alone.
"I'm not going to stand for this!" Quistis exclaimed. Seifer rolled his eyes waiting a few moments for the train to start before he dumped her unceremoniously on the seat.
"You're going to the Garden, Trepe. Deal with it" he hissed at her, his hand caressing his gunblade.
"No. I'm not" she said defiantly standing up. Seifer chuckled and shook his head a bit.
"You're so out of shape, you'll never be able to beat me" He said drawing back and falling into a fighting stance. She grinned at his pulling her whip from her side, the sharp crack ringing through the cabin. She led the battle with an attack, the tip of the whip flicking dust of the shoulder of his jacket.
"Not as rusty as I thought" Seifer said smirk. She gave him a half smile back waiting on the balls of her feet for his attack. She knew all his moves, hell she was the one that taught them to him. He grinned a bit, grip tightening. He moved quickly throwing all his weight into her sending them toppling onto the seat. Hyperion and Save the Queen fell to the ground, intertwined around each other. Black metal, Golden whip. She was warm underneath him squirming under his weight. His trench was twined around her legs as she struggled.
"Get offa me you oaf!" she exclaimed pushing at him.
"I kind of like it right here, me on top" he said cockily. She scowled suddenly her forehead connected with his nose.
"Fuck, Trepe" Seifer said hopping up putting a gloved hand to his bloody nose. She stood up smoothing her black suit looking at him haughtily.
"You got what you deserved" she said as she patted her golden hair into place.
Then all there was, was noise.
Shattering, the window broken behind her. Her framed in the sunshine, before a great creature that was screaming blotted it out. It's talons clenched around her, and she screamed. Seifer fell forward darkness falling like a cloak over his eyes. He couldn't see, all he heard was her screams mingling with the monsters. Blood ran down his face, into his mouth as he tried to call out to her. More screaming, a crunching noise and finally a great rush of wind as the cabin fell silent.
