Summary: Something's happened to Rinoa, and it's going to take over the world....
AN: Thanks for your reviews! ^.^ I'm glad you like. In answer to the question, has Rinoa been possessed by herself, you'll just
have to find out.
Once again, I'm ill. And when I'm ill my brain goes hyper!! BTW, guess who Dr.Tiaum Licai is! ^.^ OH! When Rinoa meets herself, Rinoa who is 'good' has capitals, as well as She Her etc the imposter has little letters, rinoa, she, her etc. Ok?! :D
******
She flew up with a start. Another dream. That one had been horrible. She clasped her hands to hand, trying to remember her
dream, but it was impossible. The more she tried to remember, the harder it became. Was there another person? Growling with
frustration, Rinoa got up and turned to go to the bathroom ... only to smack into a wall. She collapsed on the bed. 'Eh?' She
blinked, dazed from the blow, 'Where am I?'
The walls were brilliant white, she was on a bed and there was a window above her. Oh, the infirmary. 'Why am I here?' she
wondered idly while playing with the sheets. Grabbing the brush from the drawer of the bedside table, that she had left in
there on purpose (last time she had been in the infirmary she had a VERY bad hair day and so was always prepared) she began
to brush her hair. Glancing down at the brush, she noticed her hair was a lot darker than usual. She frowned. It was almost..
black. But it looked, wrong. As though there was another colour underneath. That's when she saw it. On her hand. Bringing it up
to her face, she studied it carefully. It had been that sign in her dream. As she continued to study it, she noticed that it began
to glow. Quite faintly at first, but then she could see it, it was almost like a pulse. Her hand began to shake. Her face went
white with pain as she used her strength to try and stop it from squirming around.
She heard footsteps and just as quickly as it came, the pulse went, as did the shaking. Breathing heavily, she looked up in time to see that Squall had come into the room. She tucked the palm of her hand away quickly, so he couldn't see. It was best he didn't know yet. Just in case.
He stared at her for a long moment. Then rushed over to her and hugged her fiercely. She choked with the force that he had
placed into this hug. He pulled back, but still stared at her. His love clearly shown in his eyes.
"Don't ever do that again!" He said with suppressed emotion. "I - I thought you'd ... died."
"Shhh." She looped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his softly. "Don't worry. I'm fine."
"But-"
"No buts, I'm fine. I feel refreshed, and I had a nice rest."
"Rinoa! You fell unconscious four days ago!"
"Fo-FOUR DAYS?!?!"
"Yes. We - I was so worried. Did you have a dream? I need to know, I need to find a way to help you."
She hesitated for one moment to long. His eyes narrowed dangerously.
"You *did* didn't you? Tell me!"
"You're right, I did." She said it, shame burning in her face as she tried not to meet his furious glare.
"You were going to hide it from me, weren't you?"
"Yes." She said in a small voice, completely un-Rinoa like.
Squall let out a shuddering breath. He wrapped his arms around her and leaned his head on her shoulder. She could feel the
silken brush of his unkempt hair against her cheek. It smelt clean. He'd obviously just had a shower. Naked. 'DUH!' Her mental
voice yelled. She blushed. 'Shut up brain!'
"Rinoa." Squall's voice had gone deadly calm.
"Y-yes?"
"What is that?" He pointed at her hand.
"I-um. Well, I don't know!" She choked out. "It was glowing earlier. Oh, Hyne, Squall, I don't know what to do!"
Squall stood up suddenly, his eyes ablaze with something akin to knowledge. He stalked over to the door.
"Don't worry, Rinoa. I'll be back."
Rinoa reached out to try and pull him back but thought the better of it and regained her hand. She sighed and lay back down. 'May as well sleep while waiting...'
*****************
Squall marched through the infirmary doors and headed to the library. There had to be something in there. That *thing* on her hand ... he recognised it. But where? Where had he seen it!?
He was startled out of his thoughts when something bumped into him, and fell to the floor. He noticed it was a young woman. Probably about 26-27. She was wearing a light blue skirt with a long sleeved white top. She had long dark brown hair that was put up into two bunches and very dark brown eyes. They were such a dark brown that in the wrong light, they could be mistaken as red. (AN: One of my mates has eyes like that! It's well freaky!) She had a big black bag as well, and over her arm there was a white coat.
"Sorry." He muttered. He held is hand out so she could get up. She grasped it gratefully.
"Thanks." She had a strange voice. Very strange. Almost, Russian.
"S'ok. Where are you headed? You look a little lost."
"Infirmary."
Squall's eyes took on a darker hue. Anyone who knew him well would recognise this as a sign of protectiveness shown towards Rinoa.
"Why are you headed there?"
"Oh, sorry." She handed him a piece of card. It read Dr.Tiaum Licai, Specialist of Sleep. "I'm here to see a Miss. Rinoa Heartily.. Do you know her?"
"Umm, yes. I do. Do you mind if I have someone accompany you?" His posture told it all, he didn't trust this new doctor.
"Of course not," She said gaily, "I'd be glad for the company."
"Excellent."
Squall whipped out his pager and sent a message to Zell and Selphie. They could help. He couldn't help but notice that Dr. Licai looked a little uneasy at the prospect of having company. He would have to watch her. Definitely.
********
She gritted her teeth to stop herself from saying something she might regret. Didn't this girl shut the hell up!? Oh, man. She'd kill her in a second. Prancing around like a freaking fairy. She hadn't got half the mind to yell, Shut the bloody hell up! Only, she was sure the boy with the quiff would attack her.
"..And we're having flowers. Obviously, I mean, it's a Garden Festival. So d'ya wanna come?"
She smiled sickly, "I'm not sure. I'm only here for a few days. Not months. Sorry." Yeah, *real* sorry.
"Oh, ok!"
They reached the infirmary. Rinoa, the girl who was her key, was asleep. Excellent. It was really going to plan. Now, all she had to do was get Quiff Boy and Prozac Girl to wait outside while she performed her magic. She walked straight into Rinoa's room and glanced at her hand. Her right hand was looking fine, her left looked perfect. Almost ready to use. Still, her right wasn't up to much, it would be difficult to control that one until it had the sign.
She turned around and saw Quiff and Prozac, as she so dubbed them, standing there watching her. Both incredibly quiet.
"Ah ah ah. You can't come in here while I do this. You might affect the Karma and Chi of the room. I'm sorry, but you need to meditate before even entering this room now. Ok?"
Stupid excuse, bad lie but all she could come up with at the time. Good thing that happy-go-lucky girl "totally understood that". Stupid people.
"Thank you." She gestured to the waiting room, "Now wait outside. Oh, by the way, I'm going to have to leave via another exit because going through one door and exiting through the same door can take all good karma with you. I need to keep it in there so that Miss. Heartily's dreams aren't plagued." And so i can just disappear.
The girl scratched her head and then grinned, she whispered something to the boy and he grinned back.
"Just use the window!"
She glanced up at the window. 'They have *GOT* to be kidding ... never mind. It won't matter anyway.'
"Thank you." NOW GET LOST! "You have to leave now."
They glanced once suspiciously at her, and then left. The door slammed shut. She rubbed her hands together, evil villain style and set to work.
She grabbed Rinoa's hands and began to chant in the tongue of the creators. She could feel the sorceress inside Rinoa. The *bad* sorceress as well as the good. She grinned. The sorceress that was Rinoa had taken over part of her mind. Soon, Rinoa won't be able to live without her bad side. Even the Commander couldn't save her once she got started.
She glowed for a minute, and then forced it over Rinoa's body, grinning with satisfaction as she watched it enter Rinoa's mind. She was the key to domination and she'd be damned if she was to put up with being defeated again! She cackled insanely and left the Garden, using a spell that not even Hyne could have thought up.
~~~~~~
Rinoa had been having a dreamless sleep. She was sure of it. And now she was at some weird place. It was quite beautiful in a way, but very creepy. Very, very creepy. She didn't like it at all. She felt something move against her. She swirled around, trying to catch a glimpse of it. She took a step back. Once again, she was face to face with herself.
"Hello, Rinoa." she said.
"Hello ..."
"You must be wondering why i am here."
"Well, yes .. kind of."
"Well ... this is your dream, and i am part of you .. so i can be where i want."
"What do you mean .. this is your dream? This is MY dream dammit!"
"You mean ... you don't remember?"
Rinoa looked worried. "No." She said slowly.
rinoa looked back, clearly happy she was to enlighten Rinoa.
"Well ... i became part of your soul, you could say. Once the spell is complete i will have control over your body ... but while i don't, i can only speak to you through dreams."
"S-spell?"
"Yes. To control your mind, body and soul. It's a great piece of work."
"W-why?"
"Because, Rinoa, you hold potential to be the greatest being in the World. But your do-gooder ways get *in* the way, and they have to be abolished, to make way for me, your *evil* side. It's part of the package deal from being a sorceress."
"Evil side? I don't *have* an evil side."
"Sure you do. You just never wanted to look at it before. But everytime you come to this dream, a little bit more of me, seeps into you. You're slowly turning evil. And if you resist, well, it won't matter. You need mind and body to control you, but not necessarily your soul. So while i'm killing, you have to watch yourself do it."
rinoa threw her head back and laughed. she then pretended to wipe a tear from her eye.
"Ah dear. What fun this shall be. Oh, time's almost up. i have to things two say to you, Rinoa. One - you're not being worked on by just me, i'm your mind. Someone 'outside' is working on your body. It's only a matter of time. Minutes in fact. I'm going to show you what i can do .. then leave you for a while. Secondly, the signs on your hands. That's where the power lies and the control begins."
Rinoa looked up confused. "Control ...?"
"You'll see. Ta ta!"
The cocky, arrogant rinoa strode off and Rinoa could feel the pull of awakening ...
~~~~~~
She opened her eyes. Why did she feel so strange all of a sudden.
~"I'm going to show you what i can do"~
What did she mean by that? Rinoa bit her lip. Suddenly, a little junior classman entered the room. She had a cut on her cheek and a broken finger it appeared. Her left hand began to shake a little. Rinoa grasped it with her right arm. It didn't stop shaking. In fact, it got worse. What was going on? Panic seeped through her. Oh Hyne, what am I doing!?
The Junior Classman turned to her, a puzzled look on her face. Rinoa's hand escaped confinement and shot out straight, palm up. The tattoo began to glow. It glowed and glowed. Rinoa couldn't stop it. The girl was frozen to the spot.
~"I'm going to show you what i can do"~
The pulse started up, Rinoa shut her eyes and tried to pull against the force of her hand.
~"..show you what i can do.."~
It was no use, whatever was controlling her body and mind wasn't relenting.
~FIRE TIDE~ Something yelled in her mind.
A bright, yellow-y red light shot out from her hand, striking the girl straight in the chest. The light burned its way through her heart and then hit the wall on the other side. Blood poured out of the wound, and seeped out of her mouth. The girls body stayed standing for a millisecond then collapsed.
A pool of blood surrounded her. Her eyes open, a last plea in her eyes,
"why?"
Rinoa could only stare in shock. I've killed someone, KILLED! Her hysterical mind screamed at her. KILLED! KILLED! KILLED!
It chanted and chanted and chanted, over and over and over.
The last thing Rinoa saw before she fled to where her body was going was the insignia imprinted on the wall with the junior classmen's blood.. She recognised it fully now. It was the sign of a sorceress. The sign of evil.
The sign of Ultimicia.
