Chapter 5: A Goddess
Disclaimer: By now I hope you realize that I don't own FF8. No more of
this, it's in 5 chapters already... That's enough, isn't it?

Ah, what a life! Got my two best (or should I say only?) friends and I fish all day long. Who could ask for anything more? I could... Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it, but I could use something more. After Ultimecia's defeat, I regained control of myself, and a few months of R&R was what I needed, but this is starting to border on the ridiculous. It's the same routine, day in, day out, blah, blah, blah. We get up, get dressed, get breakfast, go fishing. Catch fish, try and sell some fish, go home. Eat dinner, talk and mess around, go to bed. Repeat process until you die of boredom. Granted that this is better then what might have been at Garden. The points and stares from the students. Couldn't deal with it, I might snap.
This day though, somehow seemed different. Like the usual routine would be broken somehow. I hoped it would, as my eyes fluttered open, only to be quickly slammed shut. "Who the hell opened up this damn blind? Can't you see my bed is right under it? How the hell am I supposed to get sleep?" I grumbled, a typical good morning from yours truly.
"Good morning to you too, ya know?" Raijin was standing in the doorway, rubbing his eyes to wake up. Fujin was most likely in the bathroom. I turned over, pulling my sheets over my head, to get in a few minutes more sleep. No such luck.
"RAGE!" Fujin screamed from the bathroom. Apparently, while I tried to go back to sleep, Raijin had slipped unnoticed into the bathroom to use the toilet. He flushed while Fujin was still in the shower, and, well, you get the idea.
"What the hell is going on in there?" I roared. I'm not a morning person, can you tell?
"I flushed, ya know?"
"HOT!"
"Ah jeez, I didn't mean to, but I had to go."
"IMBECILE!"
"I know, Fu. I'm sorry." That's always how fights would go between those two. He'd do something idiotic, she'd yell, he'd apologize. Even their arguments are routine. I sighed as I got up out of bed, running my hand through my hair. I was thinking about what it would be like if my day wasn't so, so, routine.
"Are you done in there yet, Fujin? I gotta take a piss," I said, walking toward the bathroom.
"MINUTE."
"No need for that this early in the morning."
"Sorry." When Fujin wasn't yelling in her monotonous tone, her voice was really beautiful. That's the one thing that's not routine. Sometimes, not a lot, she would sing for us. Bet that's not something you knew about her. Yea, there's a lot you didn't know about us. But, I guess that's for a different time. "It's all yours, Seifer," she said, as she walked past me.
I heard Raijin's breath get caught in his throat. When Fujin was far enough away, I turned to him and laughed. "You're acting as though you've never seen her this early in the morning."
"I, uh, I... ya know?" He was absolutely speechless. I just smacked him on the back and walked into the bathroom. Every once in a while, I would think about Garden. I know, seems strange. Believe me, it is. Being an outcast from the only home I really remember. Shunned away because of things I did, and I didn't even have control over my body. I was weak though, for letting that happen to me. I let my dream blind me, and this was my punishment.
I walked out of the bathroom and smelled breakfast. Bacon and eggs, I could never grow tired of them. Raijin had finally snapped back to reality and was dressed, as well as Fujin. I walked to my room, to put on my clothes. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, the scar on my face seemingly mocking me, as if to say, your rival is better then you. The one who gave you that scar is more then you will ever be. That thought has been haunting me, ever since we first got to FH. I walked to my closet and picked out my clothes. My eyes lingered for a moment on the Hyperion. I hadn't used it in months. I ran my fingers along the case, before closing the door. As soon as I was dressed, breakfast was ready.
I joined Fujin and Raijin at the table. We ate, pretty routine. I started growing aggrevated at the fact that this day was no different then every other day. We usualy kept quiet at breakfast, probably because they didn't want to get me angry. It's bad enough that I hate mornings, I don't need to argue first thing in the morning. We finished up and got ready to go fishing. "Hey, you guys wanna try out that new spot?" I asked.
"What new spot?" asked Raijin.
"That spot I pointed out yesterday. Think we can find some nice fish there. Maybe get more than one or two each, enough to sell, and make some good money off of."
"PLAN." Fujin was back into her regular voice. She keeps her past so closely guarded, her voice is just a reflection of that.
"Yea, let's go!" agreed Raijin. So, we left the house, and went to the new fishing spot. A new routine, I could almost feel a smirk coming up. We were getting close to the end of town. We were by the women's clothes store. That's when I saw her. She looked like a goddess, standing in the doorway of the store. The sun reflected off of her red hair, and her eyes shined with a light all their own. My breath caught in my throat, much like Raijin's had earlier. I was right, today was not like any other. Today was much different, and started me on a different path then I was currently on.
A/N: OOOOO!!! I am on a roll! Two, count 'em, TWO new chapters in one day! Hehe! Yes, I finally got Seifer in there! Do you like this? I really wanna know what you think. Maybe, when I'm done with this and the sequel, I'll write a Fujin/Raijin. How's that sound? Well, I'm all chaptered out. I think I have the Final Fantasy S Generation and FFX Soundtrack CDs to thank for this sudden outburst of writing. Well, I'll be working on the next chapter in the next few days, hopefully it won't be too much longer till the end of my story. Please be a responsible reader. Friends don't let friends leave without reviewing... or is that review drunk? Oh well, I dunno, just review! =^.^=
