Notes: Hello peoples. I'm so sorry I haven't wrote for a while, I just got really distracted and I have been really busy with school and some family stuff. I will try to finish this and add some chapters to my other stories. I am working on some new ones also. Anyway as I am writing this I don't know what I am going to do with the end of this chapter. I have a pretty good idea and depending on what I write I might again focus this chapter on Squall and Quistis instead of the mission, its kinda been going back and worth here huh? Well if I can't think of anything to write about them then I'll just make this a little longer and focus on the mission. I might make this story really long if I want to, the mission is going to end soon, but what will happen when they go back to Balamb garden?

Red Scorpion
Chapter 6

I left the school and raced towards the hotel. I was hopeing that Squall was done talking to the families and would be back in our room. I got to the hotel and threw open the front door and ran in kncoking down a young man standing around.

"Watch where your fuc-" I started to say, but then I saw the kids dad behind him, and Let me tell you, he did not look like the kind of guy you wanted to piss off. I decided to change my approach. "I mean uh... I'm really sorry, I'm such a klutz, hehe..." I helped him up and continued running towards the stairs, no time for elevators. I climbed up them and wet to the door of our hotel. I decided to slow it down then and to make sure my hair wasn't screwed up. I didn't want Squall seeing me in such a mess.

I then opened the door and stepped inside. I didn't see Squall anywhere at first and I went and sat on my bed. I then noticed the doors to the balcony were open and I saw Squall outside looking around the beach. I cleared my throat to get him to notice me. He turned around and sighed coming inside sitting down next to me. I knew that I wasn't going to be able to avoid talking about last night. Maybe if I talked about what happened at the school I could hold it off a little longer and then I could try to think of what exactly I could tell him.

"Quistis," He said looking at me. "I know that you don't want to talk about what happened, but we have to." There goes my idea of putting it off. I looked back at him and tried to quickly think off something to say. He was probably just going to say about how he just did that to make himself feel better if he was thinking that something was going on between Rinoa and the SeeD Trainee. I knew what he wanted, if you know you partner is cheating on you then you would rather have a little fling to show yourself I'm not boring or stupid, I can get people to like me. (I've said it before and I'll say it again, that is a completely different story)

"Listen I wasn't thinking and it was wrong just forget about it," I said quietly looking down. He grabbed my chin and pulled it up so I was forced to look into those deep intense eyes. I noticed that his face was a little red and his eyes were a bit puffy and were wet. Had he been crying? Is he going to cry? I didn't know what to expect from and I just sat there with a questining look on my face.

"I recieved a letter from Rin today..." He started. "And she said that- I mean uh nevermind its not important, you wouldn't care." After that he took his hands off of my face and covered his eyes and looked down. He was actually crying. I knew that something was really wrong. I knew I couldn't force it out of him. Of course it was something about Rinoa and the other guy. I knew he didn't love me, again I was just a little fling to make him feel better. I was so mad at him, but I felt sympathy for him too. I knew the one thing that I could do to make him at least feel a little bit better. I gave him a hug, a big and long hug.

I stayed likr that for a few minutes, just holding him while he tried to calm down and stop crying. He looked into my eyes and I looked back into his. Those eyes that just a while ago had been deep and intense, were now sad and scared. I knew I had to be the one to say the encouraging helpful thing, why is it always me?

"Squall, I'm pretty sure I know what the letter is about..." I said. "But remember not every relationship is ment to be..." I realized this wasn't the message I wanted to give him. "Okay forgot that. Squall, You are a lion. You are brave and strong and you have gone through many things byself with ease. However the lion can't do everything by himself. Every lion has his lioness right? His little light to guide him through the darkness and fill him up with courage when he needs it. Maybe Rinoa just wasn't your lioness. Maybe your lioness is still out there somewhere waiting for her lion to come for her."

Hmmm, I guess that's one way to say things. I think it's really really deep, but it is kinda corny :( Oh well, I hope it got the message across that I wanted to tell him and I hope he feels at least a little bit more better. He smiled at me at me and gave em a kiss on the cheek.

"Quisty.." He said pulling away looking at me. "Maybe you are the lioness for me..."

What!? What was he asking? To date? Marry!? Are they even planning on a divorce!?!?
