::Yawns:: You know this is the only fic I'm doing that I have a clue on what to do. It's funny.

Seifer's feet feel heavy as he walks along. The sun was tipping down wards, three more hours till sunset. Serine still hugs Seifer tight watching as the scenery past. She didn't fully understand what all the big trouble was, but she could tell she was getting hungry. It didn't help any that they were nearing a town and she can smell fresh food cooking. Seifer could smell it to, but he had no money, he gave it all to the boys for the help they gave him. Being nice had it's consequences and poor Serine had to pay the price.
"Daddy I'm hungry when are we gonna eat." Serine complains.
"I don't have any money Serine. I don't know when our next meal is." Seifer answers honestly.
"Why can't we go back to the school?" Serine complains.
"Because we can't!" Seifer yells.
Serine eyes go wide and she tries to shirk away in her fathers arms. Her actions quickly put a knife through Seifer's heart. He shouldn't have yelled at her. It was his fault he was such a bad father.
"I'm sorry Serine, " Seifer hugs her. "I'm just tired."
That night Serine and Seifer sleep in a back alley, there being no other choice. Seifer pulls off his jacket and covers up Serine. Still she couldn't sleep peacefully with her stomach feeling so empty. But my the master of the sky, Seifer would not let Serine go without breakfast. There had to be a sucker around town that he could steal food from. Seifer brushes back her hair and kisses her forehead.
"Good night little one, things will be better in the morning."
~~~
An annoying raven woke him up in the morning. Pecking at his hand and cawing in his ear. If the bird didn't stop he'd have roast bird for breakfast. Slapping at the bird Seifer finally awakes. The sun had been up for a while and everyone was bustling around starting there day. Looking at his daughter he saw that she was lost in a bad dream. Gently Seifer puts his hand on her shoulder and shakes her. Serine nearly jumps out of her skin at his touch. A cold face ran down her little face.
"It's okay Serine. It was just a dream." Seifer comforts her.
Serine hugs Seifer tight. "I dreamed about mama, sissies, and broder."
"I'll get them back all right Serine." Seifer raises her head so she looks at him. "Now where's that smile."
Serine smiles and chuckles. Seifer's messes up her hair and rises to his stiff legs.
"Serine, you stay here with my jacket. I'm going to find you some breakfast." Seifer orders.
Serine nods happily and watches her dad walk away. She looks around at the stinky ally and notices a small furry thing dart across the alley. She grabs her dads jacket and tosses it over her head. Serine felt safer under the darkness of her dad's jacket. Shifting the jacket something falls to her feet. Money, and enough to get several breakfasts. She grabs it and stuffs into her pockets. She presses her back the building wall and waits for her dads return.
Seifer heads off to an apartment building. He notices a woman setting out a breakfast for her family. An easy steal if she would just turn away for a couple minutes. Seifer grabs a stone and tosses it the house. Cringing as a far window shatters. The woman head snaps up in reply.
"Boys what did you do?" She yells and disappears.
Seifer runs to the house and stacks two things of food and a glass of orange juice before she returns to investigate. Knowing now her sons we're not to blame. Seifer barely ducks away before she comes back into view. She instantly notices the plates gone and shakes her head. Thinking it was her mistake and not Seifer. Personally he didn't want to stay and find out.
He approaches Serine. Laughing at the site of her huddled underneath the huddled under his jacket. sitting down the food he slips a plate under the jacket. But not before he dishes some food off his plate. He also gives her the thing of juice. Hearing her eating he begins to eat his food slowly.
"Thanks daddy." Serine says through a mouth stuffed full of food.
"Your welcome, eat your fill Serine."
Serine listens and eats every bite. Her stomach felt like it was going to explode by the time she was done. Then she remembered about the money she found in her pocket. She hands it to Seifer. Seifer stares at it dumbly counting it out he realizes he has enough for to train tickets to Timber. He hugs his daughter tight.
"We can go somewhere now. But I need you to play ill but not to ill okay." Seifer orders her.
"Yes, daddy."
Seifer wraps her up in his jacket and hopes his burns still showed. He walks to the train station and up to the booth. The man looks at Seifer and cringes then at the bundle in his arms. Pity showed in his eyes. When he was younger he seen what war did to people. Seifer, to him, looked like a man who just had his house burn down around him. Serine almost looked dead.
"I know I'm not supposed to do this but, you just pay for your ticket I'll pay for your kids. Where you going?" He asks.
"Timber." Seifer says sadly. "Thank you."
Seifer pays him the money and walks towards the train with two tickets. In his mind he calls the booth runner a moron. Finding a seat he uncovers Serine's head a little bit. She takes a deep breath and wrinkles her nose. Seifer almost forgotten his jacket needed a washing.
Timber was a long ride, but Seifer fell back to sleep. Serine stayed awake and watched out the window. Intent catching everything she could. The train moved fast and it amused her. She was almost sad when the train began to slow. It's destination close at hand. Still she had her dad and he was going to make everything all better. Serine shakes Seifer as she sees the building come up. Seifer cracks his eyes open.
"Daddy we're here."
"I can see." Seifer says not feeling to well.
The exit the train at Timber and enter the crowded streets. Serine insisted on walking but Seifer refused. An old lady touches his arm. She was small and only stood about to Seifer's waist. He looked into her old eyes and he sensed she wanted to help him. He couldn't let her. He turns and walks away. Several feet away there she was standing in front of him. Seifer looks behind him then at her. How did she do that? He sighs agreeing to listen to her in his mind.
"What do you want old lady?" Seifer asks.
"Please with me. I can tell your sick, and the child needs food." She says smacking her toothless gums.
Should he trust her? Looking at Serine he could hear and feel her tummy rumble. "Okay, but try any thing funny old lady and your dead."
She scoffs at Seifer's foolishness. She walks ahead then suddenly feels his head go light. Seifer tried to regain control but his eyes roll back and he falls forward. Vaguely away of the world moving, much less his body hitting the ground. Serine screams and somehow lands away from her father. The old lady looks at him and grabs the arm of a young man passing by.
"Excuse my sir, my grandson just passed out can you carry him for me?" She asks sweetly.
The man looks at the old lady and the size of Seifer. He grabs his buddy and together they pick up Seifer and fallow the lady.
~~~
"Squall you let Seifer leave!" Rinoa yells. "He has a daughter, no home, and probably no money!"
"Rinoa I'm sorry I wasn't thinking." Squall says quietly.
"You never think, that's your probablem." Rinoa snaps in finial as she leaves the room.
Squall scratches the back of his head, and kicks at the ground. Rinoa was off trying to find Seifer now, and she was more then ready to strangle Squall. Well Selphie need to get out, so that was one good thing.
