Shockwaves
Chapter 4 Nightmares and planning
Cloud Strife
Squall was battling Edea again, but this time he was alone. Strike after strike, magic after magic and nothing was working. In a final act of desperation his limit broke, he brought the sword down on Edea again and again making each attack precise each pull of the trigger perfect. Then Edea began to laugh, "ha ha ha useless see D, Die!" And with that a blue flash could be seen and then spikes of ice grew from her fingers and were flung at Squall. Several missed but one hit him dead center in the chest, almost all the way through him, Squall began to fall backwards and off the float but we see who threw the ice spikes. Not Edea but Rinoa with pointed claw like fingers. Just like Edeas were, with that same confident smirk.
Rinoa shot up out of bead with a scream that could've broken glass. Squall woke up and reached for his sword in instinct but realized that there was no one in the room he turned his eyes to Rinoa, "Rinoa what happened, what's wrong?" Rinoa then turned to him and it was as if just seeing Squall was enough she relaxed slightly, "Oh Squall I dreamed I was the one that you were battling in Gabaldia and I was the one who used Ice Strike on you I killed you." Squall took Rinoa in to his protecting and loving arms. "Its alright Rinoa I'm fine and were safe in Balamb garden.
After a few more minuets Rinoa got up and went to go take a shower. Squall laid back down his thoughts a jumble. Man I cant believe Rinoa is so shaken up by this the last time I saw her so shook up about something was when we fought the sorceress the first time. I wonder what Siefer's up to, probably causing trouble. Maybe not, if he really was possessed then maybe that will change him. Siefer? Change? Yeah right! I better keep an eye on him and make sure he knows the rules and follows them. Hey since Quistis has her teaching license back maybe I could have her teach Seifer his lessons and keep an eye on him two. Not only for our sakes but his sake too. There are a lot of people that hate him even worse than me and…
"Hello earth to Squall, earth to Squall! He he." Squall finally snapped out of his deep thoughts to see a smiling Rinoa who said, "Hey I thought I got you to stop going off to la la land, well ill just have to give you more reasons to stay here." With that she kissed him lightly at first but then deepened the kiss, "Well that is a good reason." Squall smiled then and Rinoa said, "Thank you Squall … for well watching over me, I know I've been a little freaked out and well you watched out for me so thank you." "Always Rinoa Always" but when Squall said it there was just something missing, "Whets wrong Squall?" Rinoa asked in concern but the quick response was, "Nothing." Rinoa new he was hiding something and pressed further, "Come on Squall you can tell me. You can tell me anything." Squalls thoughts were as a darkening cloud, yeah anything but this how would she react if the headmaster made her leave would I go to? Yes! No? I don't know! I wish for once that things would be simple. They never are though maybe I should tell her, better than having the bomb dropped on her by cid. Yeah I guess I should tell her but ahh! Squall finally responded after a moment
"Rinoa I just don't know how you'll take it it's not exactly good." Rinoa smiled and said, "That's alright we can face anything together." That lead squall to only frown deeper, "You see that's the problem, Headmaster Cid doesn't want me to see you any more he thinks that I'll end up following his foot steps or something! I don't think he's right I don't think you'd ever turn evil! But headmaster Cid might make it an order and although I would love to follow you our of garden I just don't know if I could. Do you understand? Were going to pick up Edea today but if she cant teach you to control you powers or they grow to fast or I don't break up with you I, he'll order me to or he'll order you out of the garden and I don't know what to do! On top of that I I just …"
Rinoa sat back stunned, she had know idea that it was something this huge and that she had gotten Squall to tell her but how could she live without Squall she just didn't know, then an idea struck her, "Hey I have an idea! What if we do what the headmaster wants!" Squall was beyond confused, "What?!" Rinoa smiled, "no not for real but we just pretend to break up well tell the gang and then stage this huge fight or something and then the Headmaster will think that I'm not a big deal anymore and he will kind of ignore us as far as a couple goes." Squall gave Rinoa a look, "You know that just might work, but I don't want to have to hide." "Hey it's not my idea of a dream world either but well still have each other!" Rinoa said. Squall nodded in agreement. Now they had to plan it out, "ill take care of informing the girls you take the guys ok? Sorry but I have to tell Qustis something anyway so.." Squall said Rinoa sad it would be all right except for Irvine, "That guy freaks me out when it comes to that stuff!" Nodding and smiling in return Squall said, "I know hey you can have Zell tell him." They then returned to kissing. Then the intercom began with the headmasters voice on it, "Squall and Rinoa pleas report to my office I repeat …" With lightning fast reflaxes Squall grabbed his gunblade and shot the speaker Rinoa's eyes got huge, "Squall why did you do that aww man now I'm going to have to get it repaired!" Squall shrugged, "Well number 1 I've been wanting to do that all week and 2 I'm really annoyed at Cid. Don't worry about it ill have the repairmen come and fix it." Rinoa gave a somewhat frustrated shrug, "oh well, come on lets get going!
