and I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday...
Quistis awoke to the buzzing sound of the annoying fan above her. She looked around, and soon figured out she was in the infirmary. Selphie and Zell stood above her.
"Quisty! You're awake!" Selphie said softly, but not missing an ounce of the usual cheerfulness she had.
"Are you feeling alright Quistis?" Zell asked.
Quistis blinked a few times.
"Where is Seifer?!" she said in a panicked kind of voice, but not too loud.
"Oh, don't worry. Me and Zell wouldn't let Squall send Seifer off to prison with you so upset about it. We demanded that this all be figured out before any of his sentence is carried out.
Quistis shook her head. "There will be no sentence." she said in a determined way. Selphie's eyebrows raised a little and Zell couldn't help but snort.
"Well, Seifer's in the next room over sleeping like a baby. We had to put him to sleep to calm him down, especially after he saw you being carried off motionless." Zell said. Quistis sighed. He was only a room over.
In the next room over, Irvine and Squall stood beside Seifer's infirmary bed. Squall was there to make sure Seifer didn't pull any stupid stunts, and Irvine was there simply for his aim with a gun in case something did happen.
"I can't believe she did this...I can't believe she would go behind my back and bring him right here, into Garden!!" Squall said. Irvine shook his head.
"I can't believe it either, but you have to admit, Quistis is intelligent. She's not doing it for a stupid reason, that I know for sure." Irvine said. Squall smirked, Irvine was right, he was always the voice of reason in bad times. Squall thought about Rinoa, how was she doing? She was up in his office, in charge of the chaotic Garden while he was down here stuck in the infirmary with Seifer.
Seifer suddenly started moving a little, then his eyes slowly opened. For a moment he looked around him, trying to recognize his surroundings. Then he saw Squall.
"Why you damn--" he started to saw.
"Shutup Seifer!" Squall cut him off.
"Where's Quistis?!" Seifer immediatly demanded.
"Hey, hey, calm down you two, we don't need any more fighting." Irvine said firmly. Seifer pushed himself into a sitting position on the bed. Seifer slowly took in a breathe, relizing he was at a disadvantage with his weakness right now, and asked again, more calmy.
"Where is Quistis?" he said to Squall. Squall's eyes narrowed.
"Why would you want to know?" he said. Seifer lunged at Squall, but almost fell off the infirmary bed instead.
"Don't even try to fight me, you can't even stand up." Squall said coolly.
"Well as soon as I can, I can damn-well asure you'll get an ass- whipping Leonhart." Seifer said.
"Who's in control here Seifer?!" Squall yelled. Seifer stumbled off the bed and amazingly stood up, having a hard time with balance at first, but soon was upright, towering a few inches over Squall.
"Where is Quistis." he asked again. Squall grimaced.
"She's in the room next door, and don't think you're going in there, you're not. She needs rest." Squall said. Seifer, however, was already walking to the door.
"Seifer don't make me use this.." Irvine said, stepping in front of the door holding Exeter.
"Alright! Fine! I'm unarmed, I'm weak, what do you want from me?!" Seifer yelled, sitting on the ground, infuriated. Squall smirked.
"Well, we're going to find out why you were in Quistis's bedroom, then send you off to be executed." he said. Seifer's face shown pure hatred.
"What are you getting at Leonhart?! Why do *you* think I was in her bedroom!?!" Seifer yelled. Squall kicked Seifer in the side.
"You better not have done *anything* to her Almasy!" he roared. Seifer took the kick, sucked it up, and yelled back.
"Did you see the way she acted when you tried to take me away?! You're an ass Squall!! You only want to make it seem like I might have done something to her so you have one more thing to the "Reasons to Torture Seifer" list!!! BASTARD!!" Seifer swore, getting up from the ground, then tackling Squall to the ground.
Irvine pulled Seifer off Squall and stood between them.
"I don't want to have to use this." he said again just as Xu burst through the door.
"Trabia and Galbadia know we have Seifer. I have *no* idea how they found out, but they did. They've got arial soldier's attacking Garden right now! They plan to get Seifer by force, again, why they want him, I don't know...but Rinoa needs help Squall!! She's panicking!" she blurted out. Squall immdeiatly left the room, heading for the office at a run. Seifer smirked and stood up.
"Does this mean I can go, cowboy?" Seifer said.
"No." Irvine said.
"Damnit.." Seifer said. He picked up a table and threw it at Irvine. Irvine wasn't hurt, but the time it took Irvine to get out from under the table and off the ground, Seifer was out the door.
Seifer turned the doorknob to Quistis's infirmary room and went in. Zell immediatly rushed up to Seifer, in attempt to hold him out of the room, but was quickly shoved aside.
Seifer shoved Zell out the door and shut it, and locked it.
Quistis eyes lit up from her standing position in the corner of the room. "Seifer!" she said. Seifer walked over to her and hugged her.
"I'm not letting him, or any of them, take you away..." Quistis said. Seifer grinned and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"And neither will I." he said with a smirk. Quistis giggled.
"Well, I don't believe you have as much power as you believe you do, Mr. Almasy.." she said scoldingly.
"Ah, yes, but I have you." he said. Quistis pushed him away playfully.
"Should we just stay locked in here?" Quistis said. Suddenly the buzzer went off on the intercom, then Rinoa's voice was heard over it.
"All students go into the nearest room and remain there, in 20 seconds all doors will be locked, leaving any student that does not enter a room in danger. I repeat...All students go into the nearest room and remain there, in 20 seconds all doors will be locked, leaving any student that does not enter a room in danger." she said.
Quistis raised an eyebrow, they had to get out of this room, something was very wrong.
"Seifer...somethings going on, lets get out of here.." she said uncertainly.
"They're after me..." Seifer said. Quistis frowned. "Galbadia and Trabia Gardens...they're both launching attack on Balamb, they want me." he explained. Quistis shuit her eyes tightly. Why would they want Seifer? Why did everyone insist on taking Seifer from her?!
"What do we do? We have to find a better place to hide...they'll find us here." she said. Seifer shook his head.
"No, I'm going to hide, you're not coming with me. If something should happen I don't want you getting hurt..." he said.
"No Seifer!" Quistis protested. Seifer looked around the room for a few seconds.
"I'll escape through this window, you leave through the door. Don't worry, I'll find you when this is all over. I promise." Seifer said. Tears streaked Quistis's face.
"I won't let you go.." she said.
"I have to Quistis! Its the only way we'll have a chance at being together again! If they catch me, I'll be executed!" he said. He walked over to her and held her against him. She looked up to meet his gaze, then suddenly gave him a quick kiss and pulled away.
"Don't you die on me Seifer Almasy..." she said. Seifer nodded.
"I'll come back for you Quistis." he said, then climbed out the window.
Quistis stood for a few seconds after he climbed out, just staring at the sky outside. What would she have to face now? If she thought about it all any longer she would surely give up hope and cave in like a scared child. She had to forget about the "what-ifs" and pull through this.
She grasped the cold steel, of the doorknob, turned it, and left the room without a look back at the window.
Quistis awoke to the buzzing sound of the annoying fan above her. She looked around, and soon figured out she was in the infirmary. Selphie and Zell stood above her.
"Quisty! You're awake!" Selphie said softly, but not missing an ounce of the usual cheerfulness she had.
