Partings and meetings
Squall frowned as he read through the reports again, with Rinoa silently talking to Xu there wasn't anything to do except to make it clear for himself that he had read it right the first he had read the reports.
The first report was more a confirmation from Cid. Seifer was to be captured either by Seed or the Eshtarian police, either way there weren't any good options except that the Garden denied all responsibility, and in secrecy captured Seifer there was no other good option.
The Second report made Squall uneasy, the second report was the resignition of Quistis Seed number 19AA. She had resigned from Garden this day and had left early morning no one knew her destination.
The reason he felt troubled was that he felt somewhat responsible for her departure. As long as he could remember he had been cold to Quistis or military correct never showing her feelings. When he came to think of it he had never even shown gratitude or even anger against her just being cold adn rejective.
That's beacause she liked me maybe even loved me, and I got scared The thaught hit him like a sledgehammer. And he felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold icy water over him.
A part of him knew that to some part this was his fault, his and Rinoas. But that's the wasy it was she had never disapproved or even shown jealusy towards Rinoa, Quists had just accepted her as her own childhood friend from the orphanage. And she had passivly watched as Rinoa healed the scars on his soul that Quistis had tried to heal all her life.
Squall knew that he had even resented her for trying to help those scars to heal, back then he had wanted to be scars reminding him that it's better to be alone than be hurt by your friends or sister.
Now maybe it was his resentement along with Rinoa that had made her leave. No it's only my resentement of her that made her leave, that and the lone wolf image Squall realized that not only had he resented her, he had ignored her and her feelings her cries for someone. She was as lonely as me!!
His eye went wide as he figured why Quistis always was the big sister and the teacher and always the reliable one She expected that someone would understand and give her something back, instead we took her for granted Quistis was the one who you would go to if you had a problem that couldn't be solved or matter between students she had always a clever idea on how that would solved. Her icy disposition was only beacause there wasn't anyone that understood how desperate she was for someone to share her problems with. The more misunderstood she got the more icy she became, Squall shivered on how similair that had been to his own style. She had gotten more and more frighten of being hurt but in the same time she had longed for someone to be there for her. Someone like me. the similairities was stunning, that's why he had been her favourite student she was feeling the same lonliness as he had been doing. And she had been wanting to fill up the emptiness and the loneliness with herself and hers with him.
He let out a deep breath, how much more he understood know than before. But know it was to late he had left his mark on his friends.
Quistis the long blonde with her entrancing hairstyle and kind words had left and he was the direct cause.
He had recived a mail from Zell just resently when looking for more information that he was to take out his vaccation wich would last for about a year. Zell had certainly earned it as he hadn't used his vaccations instead he had saved them as Squall had. But now this warm and energetic young blonde was to leave leaving a without a word of why he was leaving, and as it said in the letter "And u probably don't wanna know" those were Zells words. But I want to know Zell, I've changed. But Zell had taken Squalls personality for being as it showed. Just as Quistis He sat down on a chair and closed his eyes. That was the only way from keepin himself from crying I'm losing all my friends, and they don't know how much they mean to me As he opened his eyes he looked in to another pair of brown eyes, Squall couldn't speak word he was drowning in these endless ponds.
Then suddenly her forefinger came in vision before his eyes and began to go in circles.
"You love me, You will love me, You love me" when the words stopped her Rinoas finger stopped she giggled and looked at Xu then back at him and said "Did it work?"
Squall felt how his fcae burned and he tried to hide it "Not know Rinoa, he whispered"
The girls looked at each other then they exploded in a serie of later and mirth, while Squalls face got more red for each minute.
After tem minutes he coughed a little in his fist, to get their attention and his face grew stern.
Xu and Rinoa laughed a couple of minutes more, the only sound the could make was "you should have seen yourself" but they stopped, still giggeling in his thaughts Squall smiled I'm glad that I can make at least someone happy Xu face had grown serious although he could she had obviuos problems keeping ot serious. He groaned to himself while Rinoa lay on floor holding her hands on her stomach and laughing at his stern and serious face which was still all red.
"Xu you will set together a team that will spy on Quistis and keep her out of trouble, they will not interfere with her life unless there is something threatening her life." Xu looked at her commader and saw that he wasn't finished so she waited with her questions until he was finished.
"Further more it can't be Seeds that has graduated under her supervision, them she will recognize. One last thing the spies will only report to me and they will be no more than three." Squall looked at Xu shocked face until he was sure she had understood that she was going to spy on her oldest friend.
"Ohh there is on more thing" Xu was just about to leave and she turned around "yes commander?"
the question was dull and had a sulkiness over it.
"Assign one spy on Zell Dincht he will be leaving this afternoon" Xu returned his stare which was just as grave as his "Yes sir"
With that final exclaimation there was only Squall and the now standing and giggeling Rinoa and his task to assign a group to capture Seifer.
Squall had already made up his mind he as reach out for Rinoas hand and she snatched his in a heartbeat.
Together they walked towards the elevator. He turned to look at his sorceress and said "Yes it did, I love you more now than ever." The answer wasn't words instead it was a fierce kiss her lips glued to his.
For a moment Squall forgot his troubles in a storm of emotions, one stronger than any other.

The Cafeteria was crowded as always, and the table seats were hard to get but Selphe and Irvine had managed to get one just as the occupants of the table was about to leave they had snatched the table.
Selphie sat by herself as Irvine had gone to the cafeteria hatch to get some lunch for both of them.
Selpie looked at her tall cowboy and smiled a secret smile to herself.
He looked really handsome in his coat and hat, but those boots had to go they were just awful Eww boots in crocodile skin bad as is it was that some creature had been killed just so he could put those boots on but the skin was really ugly. His tall frame was in perfect symmetry to his muscles not to musculer nor was he to skinny just perfect, the lines was also enchanting in his tall face, except for the pirple spot on his jaw. The mere existance of the bruise made Selphie see red. I'll have his head whoever it was her face twisted in a vicious snarl then as abrupt as it came it disappeared.
Irvine was walking towards her, she couldn't help it but whenever he smiled at her she got a stupid smile on her face that made her look like she was some girl that had never been the center of a boys attention before. Irvine stopped before the table and bowed a courteus bow. "Here my butterfly is your hotdogs, and as for me your humble waitor I will do fine with a toast sandwich" He grimaced in pain after he had said those words. Selphie looked at him worriedly "Don't speak if it hurts Irvine" she said in a very sincere tone that made Irvine shiver in appreciation.She really sees me, not the flirtous sharpshooter
He sat down and handed the petite girl her hordogs while he massaged his jaw.Damn that Squall wannabe was fast, I didn't even see the punch As he was thinking to himself he felt a slender hand patting his "Don't worry handsome whoever he was we'll get him" Irvine couldn't help but laugh soft at her remark "My we're bloodthirsty today darlin" First she looked at him suspecting some sarcasm when she didn't see any she smiled a crazy smile "You bet!" then she bit the innocent hotdog with a vicious bite. With her mouth filled with hotdog she made a perfect mimic of Zell while he was talking with his mouth full, she waved with her hotdog as if it was a weapon and as a reward she spilled kechup and mustard on the table "We'll getf himf anf thenf weff BLOFF himf UF" Seeing her in her mimic of Zell Irvine couldn't help but laughing this time a furious laugh he couldn't stop, Selphie joined in after she had swallowed her mouthfull. They just sat there laughing like maniacs, the students that went past them just smiled a little to themselves or shook their heads. Irvine laughed until the pain in the jaw was to much even then he laughed in interwalls.
They stopped abrupt as a vocie spoke "Excuse me..." The couple looked at the source of the voice.
It was a Seed of asian oriogin but not quite the nose was more hawk like and his hair to curly his face was more heartshaped his the lines of his cheekbone made it diffucult to tell what he was if hadn't been for his dark brown eyes and fluffy dark hair he didn't have a a particular haircut but instead it was a disorder of curly hair. "Yes?" Selphie ansewered with an inquiring tone. The Seed seemed embarassed "Uh there was no seats avialable" before he could finish "Yes?" Irvine said annoyed that this man had come and bothered them. The Seed continued "And I was wondering if I could sit here and eat my lunch?" The answer was "Yes..NO!" Irvine and Selphie looked at each other then Irvine shrugged with his shoulders, Selphie took that as yes from his side. "Look I can go somewhere else, I didn't mean to cause any trouble" The Seed was obviously embarassed by the disagreement of the couple.
Selphie shook her head "No no no it's okay no need to worry just sit down with us" So he did, rather uneasy Selphie could tell. "I'm Selphie and the oaf over there is Irvine" Irvine looked in the roof "Like he didn't know."That rewarded him with a icy stare from Selphie. Before she could say something the Seed began talking "Well nice to meet you I'm Maths*" As he said it there was no recognition in his voice.
Irvine looked at him in in disbelief. "We saved the world buddy!" He smirked to himself as he saw the other seeds eye grow wider. "Really?" He said in amazement. Selphie began to giggle at the innocense of his remark He truly doesn't know that we saved the world.
Irvine sighed "Hey kiddo where have u been for the past year?"
Maths shook his head at something then he spoke "I've been supervising a project on the Moonbase, and dont call me kiddo! I'm actually 21!"
Selphie giggled even more "But you sound like a ten year old you know"
The fluffy seed blushed "I'm acting like a child ain't I" he said sheeplessly. "Yupp you do" Irvine said with a grin.
Maths looked at them both as they were on the verge of laughing and sighed Might as well play along His face took a stern childish look (the look when a 5-10 year old doesn't get what he wants) Then he yelled "WAAAAHH I don't wanna eat my spenach WAAHH MOMMY, DADDY is making me !!"
Irvine and Selphie looked dumbfounded at the older seed who actually looked like he was 16 or less.
There was a complete silence in the cafeteria and the stares were all pointed towards their table.
Maths was still sniveling "Please MOMMY tell DADDY to eat it himselef!" but as he said it his face turned all red, as he knew that everbody was looking at them.
"Aww my little baby is DADDY Irvine mean to you?" After the remark all three began laughing hystericly.
Irvine shook hands with the newcomer "Nice meeting you Maths" between the laughs he answered "Nice meeting you to"
Selphie was just about to speak but was interrupted by the speaker and the voice of the commander was heard.
"Will the following seeds report to the headmasters office, Selphie Tilmitt, Irvine Kinneas, Maths Sundin, Jessica Andersson, Jack Tenrell, Alonia Wildriver.
All three of them rose and Maths and Irvine grumbled in unison "So much for lunch"
***
Seifer paced the 15 steps he could take between the walls in the little room in the train towards Dollet. Where the Garden would be. There was something there calling himm a part of his life was in danger.
He had to go over there to protect it, when they had taken seat in the small space in the train Seifer had explained to his only friends thats why he had reacted like that in Balamb.
Raijin took a suspicous look at Seifer "Ya sure this isn't any of those romantic dreams again Seiefer, cause if it is I dont wanna be part of it ya know" That rebuke really hurt Seifer but he was wise enough to see both of Raijins meanings. Yes the insults hurts, and no I'm not about to make the same misstake as last time, forgetting friends hurting them being to blind to see that I', being used The tall ex knight was just about to prhase the words when suddenly Fuijin kicked Raijin on the knee "CLUTS" she sat her forefinger under the bigger mans nose "COMMON SENSE" she was about to kick Raijin again when Seifer stopped her "He has a point, not trusting me as blindly as last time" Seifer smirked "Maybe you have some wits after all Raijin"
Raijin snorted "Just cause I don't talk smart doesn't mean I'm dumb ya know"
Seifer lowered his eybrows in afterthought "Maybe not, then let me explain why I'm doing this"
They both looked at him listening to what he had to say Seifer was touched by adn again it remembered him that he had real friends.
"Well as you know I've been a Knight to a sorceress, no don't talk just let me explain" They held their questions and let him explain what pained him, and why he had reacted as he did.
He explained that when a sorecress choses her knight a certain kind of bond forms between the two.
The Bond enchances the Knights senses making him see in the darkest night hearing the fall of a needle.
Also his strength stamina agility speed refelexes everything is inchanced except for one thing. The bond between the Sorceress and the knight maked the knight very sensitive in his/her feelings or rather to say he becomes oversensitive.
Raijin pondered what Seifer had just said "So what ya saying is that a knight has enchanced feelings to?"
Seifer nodded "As I have always had strong feelings I reacted very irational you could say that I wasn't fit to become a knight, Ultimecia knew this that's why she choose me so she could control me if it had been the other way around that I would have taken control of her."
Fujin waved her head "SQUALL" Seifer gritted his teeth "Yes Squall would be an excellent knight, to one point he has to find a similair sorceress and I can't image Rinoa as uncapable of feelings" After a moment of pondering he added "If he loves then THAT would be another thing, if a knight and a sorceress love each other the feeling of love is so strong that it erases the control balancing them both perfect they act in unison they can from time to time her the other think."
Raijin looked dazed "so ya saying that knight and sorceress should be loving couples?"
"Yes, but now that you understand that I will tell you that the bond never goes away nor the perks, my bond keeps searching for someone to bond with. In a way you could say that to some part I have bonded you to. But still it searches and you learn to listen to it it's tentacles is spreading farther and farther away from me in search of something."
Fujin made swipe with her hand "FOUND" Seifer crossed his arms "Yes it has found something and it says that it is in danger."
Rajin shook his head "No Seifer" Seifer felt betrayed at Rajins words "Don't ya mean SOMEONE? And where will we find her" Seifer breathed out in relief "It comes to me in interwalls I can't always feel the bond, just it's searching but last time I felt it was in Dollet at least in the direction of Dollet."
In that moment Fujin did something she only did in Seifers precence when they were alone.
"So Dollet it will be, and we will search for this person together" Rajin was perplexed but still he spoke "Ya know Fujin when you don't shout ya're really cute ya know, but your right no matter how long it takes we'll find yer other part Seifer and let's hope she love ya too" Astonished Seifer answered "what makes you think that I love this person?" This time Raijin had a smirk in his face "Obvious ya know, or ya shouldn't feel that something was threating yer lifa ya know"
Fujin nodded "Yes he is right, we will be at your side Seifer no matter what this time"
Seifer turned around so they couldn't see that he was on the verge of tears "Thanks guys"
And as they passed another train from Dollet they passed they met and they parted with Quistis.

Fujin made swipe with her hand "FOUND" Seifer crossed his arms "Yes it has found something and it says that it is in danger."
Rajin shook his head "No Seifer" Seifer felt betrayed at Rajins words "Don't ya mean SOMEONE? And where will we find her" Seifer breathed out in relief "It comes to me in interwalls I can't always feel the bond, just it's searching but last time I felt it was in Dollet at least in the direction of Dollet."
In that moment Fujin did something she only did in Seifers precence when they were alone.
"So Dollet it will be, and we will search for this person together" Rajin was perplexed but still he spoke "Ya know Fujin when you don't shout ya're really cute ya know, but your right no matter how long it takes we'll find yer other part Seifer and let's hope she love ya too" Astonished Seifer answered "what makes you think that I love this person?" This time Raijin had a smirk in his face "Obvious ya know, or ya shouldn't feel that something was threating yer lifa ya know"
Fujin nodded "Yes he is right, we will be at your side Seifer no matter what this time"
Seifer turned around so they couldn't see that he was on the verge of tears "Thanks guys"
And as they passed another train from Dollet they passed they met and they parted with Quistis.
