chapter 5 Rinoa's recovery


Several hours passed. Rinoa laying there looking as if she was dead. Irvine and Zell stood in the back and talked, but for a reason that he could not explain Squall sat there by Rinoa's side.
Squall began to remember the fight with Seifer and how when he was cut how all he could think and see was a shadowy figer standing there in the light. He did not think anything about it till now. As Squall thought he said to himself, "could it be?......is she the one?".
"Squall? did you say something?", said Irvine. "........no....it was nothing". After that Squall just turned away from Irvine and looked at Rinoa.
Suddenly Rinoa's eyes opened slowly. Her eyes came into focus and sat up slowly. "Irvine, Zell, Rinoa is awake". "RINOA!!", shouted Zell. Zell ran over to Rinoa. "RINOA! RINOA! YOUR OK!!". Rinoa smiled and nodded her head yes. Although she seem a bit confused.
Rinoa sat up slowly and looked around. "where........where am I?". "Your in the Balamb Gardens first aid wing". Irvine told her. "Who are you?" Rinoa said. "I'm Irvine, I guess you could say I saved your life". Rinoa just looked at him, "thank you", she said slowly. "it was nothing".
Slowly Squall walked over to Rinoa. Rinoa looked up and their eyes met. Rinoa looked up into Squall's big brown eyes. Suddenly Squall turned away. "who..who are you?", said Rinoa. ".........I'm Squall". Slowly Squall turned and walked away. He felt something inside telling him not to leave but he ignored it and walked back to his room.
"Rinoa, I'll be back in a couple minutes". "Alright Irvine, take as long as you need".
Irvine ran up to Squalls room. "What the hell was that all about Squall?!?" . "..........nothing......I just didn't want t be there anymore...". " AND WHY THE HELL IS THAT??? SHE JUST WOKE UP DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE SUPPORTIVE??". ".........leave me alone". "fine.....maybe next time you come down you'll have a little more respect for us".
After Irvine left the room Squall laid there on his bed thinking about his vission. "Could she be the one? Is she the one she the one I've been searching for?".
