{It's me again! *gasp* I'm back! And I'm writing a new ficcy! They always seem to be FF8… oh well… I sorta DID start on an original… but I forgot what happened to it… it's probably hiding in some corner collecting cobwebs… lol… well, if I ever find it… I'll tell you all about it… IF… and it's not like anyone would care about it anyway… =( no one would care *sniffles* oh well. Anyway… I hope you like my Seiftis fic(s) IF you read any of them… and IF I have more than one out by the time I have this one…

ya… back onto with the story… I'm gonna go for something a little different…I'm hoping it'll still be part Seiftis… but… mainly it's about their children… (their… as in Seifer/Quistis, Squall/Rinoa, Irvine/Selphie, and Zell/library girl… and another character… ya, this isn't really making any sense!

So… it's about their kids and they're all 'round 17 years old… and this new girl comes to the garden… weird things begin to happen…

Oh ya… I don't think I said this anywhere above… I might have but... probably not… all thought dialogue will be in brackets… ( )

One last thing… if anyone (probably nobody) read my FIRST… my first ever fic… 'Dark Secrets' this is SORTA similar… but not really… the one character is similar, but not the same! I'm not making any more sense… so I'll just go on with the story…}



Seifer closed his eyes, as if the memory was just yesterday. It was terrible. Frightening, even for a man such as himself. He never wanted to experience it ever again.

[Flashback]

"That's strange… no one's here." Seifer glanced around the deserted town.

The town had been built shortly after the Sorceress Wars on the Centra Continent. It had been 6 months since this town was built… and somehow in the short time span, Seifer had been re-admitted to the garden. With, of course, the help of Edea. Though it took a while for people in the garden to accept him, Selphie was the first too. Followed along with Irvine, Quistis, Rinoa, and the rest of the garden. In that order. Squall never forgave him, but did act mutual towards him. And as for Zell, he didn't like Seifer at all, and made sure everyone knew that he didn't. Though even Zell, did at times, act indifferent with Seifer.

"You're right… it's strange. Something must be wrong. I'll contact the headmaster." Squall slowly pulled out a small radio out of his pack.

They were on a SeeD mission to evacuate the citizens of the small and newly built town Canitri, and destroy whatever the source was of the strange and deadly virus that had infected the citizens and killing them. When they arrived at the town, it was completely empty. It was as if no one had been living in the town for several years. And to add on top of that, they couldn't find the source of the virus. Though numerous citizens had reported a house that had a black glow around it, and a dark figure lurking around the houses of the people at night who were infected the next day.

"It's no use. Something's blocking the connection." Squall finally announced after numerous times of trying to contact the outside.

"… I really don't like this." Quistis said.

"I don't either. I'm afraid. I just have this strange feeling something will come at us surprisingly and do something terrible!" Rinoa whimpered, grabbing a tight hold 'round Squall's arm.

"It's okay Rinny. I'll protect you." Squall had changed a lot after he and Rinoa were together. She had opened up his heart and emotions. She had done something Quistis never could of.

(… I wish I were Rinoa. Having someone to protect her. I want someone to protevt me…) Quistis thought as she stared at the couple.

"Jealous are we?" Seifer whispered into her ear as he smirked.

"Shut up!" Quistis whispered back as she hit him in the chest.

"Commander. I'm picking something up on the radio." A young SeeD cadet handed the radio to Squall.

The mission, originally were a SeeD Examination, but had been changed, since Cid thought it may be too dangerous. So instead, he sent Squall, Rinoa, Quistis, Seifer, and this one new SeeD cadet. This was his first real mission, but Cid thought could do well.

"I don't hear anything, Mark. Are you sure about it?" Squall asked adjusting knobs on the radio.

"Yes I am." He replied.

He was a fairly decent looking guy. Though he kept his hair way too long.

"I don't hear anything. What did you hear?"

"… it was as if it… was a shrill laughter…" Mark replied. Unaware of what would happen soon.

"A shrill laughter? What do you mean? That can't…" Squall was cut off by a high-pitched laugh.

"Hehehehe hahahaha!" The sky seemed to bellow. It was as if the laughter was coming from all directions. It wasn't a pleasant laugh, but more like a wicked, evil laughter.

"Ahhhh!" Mark screamed as a dark figure emerged from inside his body. After the figure came out of Mark, it grabbed him and pulled him onto a roof along with it. It lifted Mark and the head tore off. Revealing flesh and blood dripping down.

"Oh hyne." Rinoa whispered as she quickly turned her head away.

"No… Mark…" Quistis whimpered.

"Who are you?!" Squall demanded. The only response he got was the shrill laughter.

"Speak demon. Who are you?" Seifer shouted at it. Again, it only laughed.

"… no… it can't be…" Rinoa suddenly said as she turned around to face it. "You're a sorceress…"

Again, it only laughed.

"Prepare to battle." Squall shouted to the team as he drew out his gunblade, Lionhart. Seifer followed suit and pulled out Hyperion, as Quistis unhooked her Save the Queen from her belt. Lastly Rinoa took out her Shooting Star.

"You shall never defeat me!" The voice was feminine.

It jumped off the building and cast a spell. A strong wind rushed past the four. Rinoa was hurt the most and blown into a building, knocking her unconscious. Squall, determined to get revenge for Rinoa, charged towards it, but was cast upon Thunder3. Brutally injuring him. Squall stumbled and fell over, also unconscious. Next, it drew all of Seifer and Quistis' cure and revives spells.

"She's fast. Really fast." Seifer noted. "We have to make our moves perfect, or we're goners."

"…what should I do?" Quistis whimpered. (We're all going to die. She's too powerful for us.

"Get all her attention on you. I'll strike her when she doesn't know it."

"How…?" (I'm confused. I'm lost. Am I finally beaten?)

"Like this." Seifer suddenly pushed Quistis into the figure.

Quistis was dazed. (What's going on?) Before she knew what happened, the dark figure grabbed her by her hair and began lifting her off the ground, as she did with Mark.

"Die you son of a bitch!" Seifer roared.

It began screeching. Quistis' ears began ringing, but the sorceress dropped Quistis. Quistis was still a bit dazed, but realized what had happened. As the figure was about to decapitate Quistis, Seifer charged towards her and thrust Hyperion into her. After Seifer pulled out Hyperion, her screeching decreased, because she began melting. Soon, the only thing left of her, was the black cloak she wore.

"Quistis. I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Seifer rushed towards her.

"… I… I…"

"Quistis. I'm really sorry. That was the only thing I could think of." Seifer held her in his arms.

"… YOU JERK!!! YOU NEARLY GOT ME KILLED!" Quistis screamed as she hit Seifer several times.

"Ow! Ow! Stop it! Stop!" Seifer immediately let go of her and let her drop to the ground.

"OW!!! You're gonna get it! Come back here!" Quistis snapped her whip.

"We have to go back to the garden immediately! We don't have much time! Rinoa and Squall…" He trailed off as he carried Rinoa into the Ragnorak.

Quistis finally came to her senses and helped him load Squall into the Ragnorak.

[End of flashback]

Twenty years have passed since then. Since he slid Hyperion into that sorceress' body. As he did, he felt a strange tingling sensation. He never told anyone, but as he thought back to it… he could almost still feel the tinglingness.

"Seifer?" Quistis called to him.

He smiled. Seventeen years ago. It first started. He and Quistis became one. Ever since that mission, he had gotten closer to her. And now, they even had a child. In a way, he was glad he had that mission. It brought him to Quistis.

"Are you ready? Or are you going to stare into space?" She asked.

She stood in the doorway of their room, dressed in a red skirt, along with a black tank top. Her hair, was hanging down past her shoulders. No longer did she wore her hair in the clip.

"You look hot." He replied.

"Oh shut up! We have to go! They're all waiting for us!" Quistis couldn't help but smile.

"What? Where are we going?"

"You're quite forgetful for a man who's only almost 40."

"ONLY?! Are you kidding? Don't you see all these white hairs?" He pointed to his hair.

"You're so silly! You don't have any white hair! Now come on! We'll be late!" Quistis tugged onto her husband's arm.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Now where are we going?"

"You really did forget? Oh hyne. We're going to Squalls and Rinoa's!"

"What? Why?" He said trying to sound childish.

"Hyne. It's Vince's birthday!"

"What? Again? How old is he turning now? 10? 9? 12?"

"He's turning 19 dear." Quistis replied, slightly frustrated.

"What?! That old already?"

"Yes! Now come on! We better get there before our little angel gets there! She'll be mad if we're get there later than her. And you know why…"

"Why?" Seifter cocked his head.

"Hyne. You don't know anything about our darling do you? She has a crush on Vince! Dear. We're late! Let's go!"

"Fine…" Seifer wanted to protest, but decided it would be best if he didn't.
