"What do we do?"

The T-Rexaur flung it's tail at them. They jumped out of the way just it time, but slammed into the ground afterward, making them lose more Hp. Selphie went out of commission, so Rinoa and Seifer were the only ones left. They had no life spells, therefore, they couldn't revive her.

"What do we do now?" Rinoa asked as the adult T-Rexaur ran in front of them. They had no way of escape. Footsteps were heard in the background. Rinoa didn't dare look back, she was too afraid that more were coming.

Suddenly someone in black flung his sword into the T-Rexaur's chest, right in the heart. It fell to the ground as he stabbed the beast and it perished. Blood dropped to the floor as he began to walk away. Rinoa ran to him, trying to make him stop. He was too strong, so she ran in front of him.

"Thanks for saving us. Now, who do you think you are, walking away like that?" She stood right in front of him, but still couldn't see his eyes. He didn't reply, he kept on going. Then Seifer grabbed the collar of his neck.

"Answer Rinoa's question, Leonhart! What level are you anyway? How could you kill a T-Rexaur? Why did you try to show off."

"I'm not showing off. I saved your butts even when I didn't want to. I could always kill a T-Rexaur, and my level is none of your business. You yourselves should be more prepared." He left them then.

"That...meanie! He was such a..wait! Does this mean that he's stronger than you? No lying!" Rinoa stared at him evilly. "I want answers, who is he?"

"Well, well, well. His name is Squall and he's alone all the time. All he does is train, so it's no wonder that he's the strongest. Heh, he'll have to train you!" Rinoa stepped up to him giving him a face like: Are you serious? "Yep, sure am. You'd better leave him alone before he kills you! Trust me, I train with him."

Rinoa walked up to her friend picked her up. "We'll have to get her a doctor." Seifer helped her carry Selphie back to the infirmary. Then Rinoa thought of all these things. Who was her roommate. How strong was Squall? She didn't know. She only stared at her friend to see that she was getting up.

*
"Squall, you want to go on one on one? We'll see who's the strongest." Squall nodded and took out his Gunblade. Seifer drew his, and they began the battle.

Him and Squall both attacked each other. Their Gunblades met, causing sparks to fly up. Seifer wanted to win so then he could prove that he was stronger, and to train Rinoa. Squall on the other hand just wanted to beat Seifer to prove that he was stronger. With each of them trying their hardest, it was going to be a long battle.

*

Rinoa walked into her room after a long day. She was very tired, since it was about ten o'clock. She decided to read her books though, instead of going to sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about Squall. How cold he was. How could someone live like that? She didn't even know her roommate. She could be gone a lot though. Who knows? She began to read her book, unaware that a battle was being taken placed.

*

Seifer fell down as Squall pushed him with his Gunblade. He allowed Seifer to get up, only thinking that he could have ended their training session. Seifer didn't get up, though. He began to use fire cross. He cast fire on him and then ran up to him. Squall knew that it was against rules to use your limit break during a fight, but he couldn't stop Seifer. Seifer, instead of attacking Squall's side, attacked Squall's head. Blood poured out as Squall fell to the ground, anger rushing inside of him. He used his limit break, forgetting that it was against rules. He used Rough Divide on Seifer's head just as he had done. Then he saw a bloody line across Seifer's head. The pain on his began to get worse. He saw Seifer fall to the ground. "I won," he whispered as he fell down and fainted.

*

Rinoa was almost finished chapter one in her book when she heard a loud noise. "Ahh!" It was like a scream. She looked out her window and spotted Seifer and Squall on the ground. She quickly ran outside and saw them lying on the ground. For some strange reason, she directly went to Squall. She stared at him and smiled. 'He's so cute when he's asleep.' Then she noticed a huge cut across his forehead. Seeing that he had his Gunblade, he probably was fighting. 'He's one of the two people who carry a Gunblade!' She never noticed until now. Then she looked at Seifer and saw that he also carried a Gunblade. 'So bizarre.' He had the same cut on his forehead as well. Noticing this she decided to get help. 'Selphie.'

Rinoa ran across the halls as she went to Selphie's dorm. She knew it was late at night, and she probably would be asleep. This was more important then sleep, though. It was matter of life and death, not tired and awake.

"Selphie, wake up!" Rinoa almost found herself screaming. She continued knocking and pounding on her door until she had finally got out lazily. She barely had her eyes opened and could see that she wasn't too happy about being woken up.

"What it is? You know I just got out of the infirmary." She asked and then found herself yawning. She could barely even stand up. 'This better be important.' She thought, 'Or I'm going back to sleep.'

"Selphie! Squall and Seifer are both dying outside! They both are losing blood fast! I need your help to get them to the infirmary." Selphie immediately got out of her dorm and went back with Rinoa. They went to Zell's dorm first, thinking that they'd need help.

"Zell, WAKE UP!" Selphie knew he was a hard sleeper, and was almost positive that he wouldn't help and or would only do it for a hot-dog. Zell, apparently wasn't even asleep, and was just secretly eating in his dorm.

"What da ya want?" He asked. Then he looked at their faces to see that they had a serious look in them, as if something bad happened. "Something happened?" Rinoa and Selphie quickly explained what had happened and then they were all went outside.

*

"Ah, did they kill themselves?" Zell asked carrying Seifer while Rinoa and Selphie carried Squall. "I think I'm breaking my back," Zell whined as he stopped for a little rest. Then he saw Rinoa stare at him evilly and he slowly got up and began to walk, mumbling to himself.

Rinoa thought of this as a different way. She thought that Squall was pretty cute, and kept mentally slapping herself for holding onto Squall's legs. Finally, they got there though. She was so relieved.

"Why are you here?" The doctor asked until she saw them set to men with blood gushing out of their foreheads. "Well, what happened?"

"Well, they were fighting. I guess a little too rough. Seifer probably said it was training and tricked Squall or something, since what I saw from his was... not that great." The doctor first began working on Seifer, knowing that his wound was worse.

"I'm not sure if I can help them, but I'll try my best. I should have a curaga..." The woman stood there for a moment. "I only have one left," she almost whispered. "It'll be Seifer, since Squall has more chance of living." For some reason, this sent chills up Rinoa's spine. She didn't really like the guy, but he didn't deserve this. No one did. Rinoa shed a tear, and turned around to leave.

*

Squall found himself in darkness. Nothing surrounded him. He felt empty. He remembered that he was always alone, nobody there to hold his hand. Now for some reason he missed it. Then he remembered the battle with Seifer. He knew he had won, but he received a nasty scar around the bridge of his nose. It didn't matter to him, though. There was only one down side to being stronger, Rinoa. Now he probably was the strongest. Still he didn't know who his roommate is, but assumed it was Rinoa, since she was new. He knew that woman weren't allowed in men's dorms, and that this could be a problem...

"...Squall," he heard, but as hard as he tried to find it, he couldn't. He then felt a great pain against his forehead. It was the same pain as the one from the fight. Probably he was in Dr. Kadowaki's office right now, and no one cared except the doctor.

"He's going cold!" He heard someone scream. Yes, he was at her office. Someone else was there, too. He heard many voices. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. His vision at first was cloudy, but then everything came out perfectly.

"..What the?" He asked, seeing many faces staring at him. He right now, wasn't in the mood to be stared at.

"You were...dying?" Rinoa almost screamed, keeping eye contact as far as possible. "You were dying. Heck, we thought you were dead." Squall could tell that she was frightened. Why, though? Why would someone care if he died?

"So, what's that to you?" He asked. It sounded so rude, not as rude as it did when he had said it in his head. She must've been the person who brought him in.

"Don't give me that. I worked really hard to get you here. You know how heavy you are?" She tried to be as polite as possible. Anger threatened to scream.

"Why didn't you just leave me there?" Squall eyed Selphie, Zell, and Rinoa. Rinoa's anger pushed through. She set her eyes on his, then realizing how beautiful they were.

"So, your the average guy that would leave someone dying on the ground?" She spat at him. "I'm not putting up with this." She left the room followed by Selphie and then Zell. Squall began to get up to go to his dorm when something pushed him back.

"Oh no you don't, you need to recover. We don't have any healing magic that would have any affect on that so you'll have to stay the night." Squall sighed as he went back down, deciding that he should let the doctor have her way.

*

"He's so mean!" Rinoa almost screamed, struggling to whisper. "Someone saves your life and then that's how they thank you." Rinoa sighed. "I can't wait until I see Seifer," she said sarcastically. Then she pulled out her books that she got from the Library. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to sleep, she began to read it.

After reading the first chapter she fell in love with the book. It was about second chances, the choices you make, what you get in return. Then Rinoa realized something. Squall might not have been so nice about it, but maybe truly inside he was thankful about it.

*** End of Chapter

I know, that wasn't as long as the last chapter, but I didn't know what else to write about. I wouldn't want to start a whole new day. In this fic it might take a while for Squall and Rinoa to fall in love, just to warn you. I see too many fics where they fall in love at first sight, when in the game it took the whole game to make them kiss. So, that's why it'll take a while for them to fall in love.

Important messages: First, I may not be able to update as frequently as I wish to. The second is that I found out that anonymous reviewers weren't allowed to review. I quickly fixed this problem so now the anonymous reviewers that tried to review me last chapter may.
