Chapter Ten

Ignorance is Bliss

" Maybe I'm not good enough for you

And maybe, I don't want to be like you

And maybe I don't want to know how low your ready to go

You don't, you don't, you don't, you don't mean anything to me"

A mistake was made, Squall and Rinoa didn't know this, and wouldn't realize it till it was too late to forget, and to late to figure it out. What Zell came to tell Squall and Rinoa was that Seifer was in the house. Where he was, Zell did not know yet, but it had been reported that he was around. So Zell was torn, bother his master again and be yelled at, or listen to his master. It pissed Zell of that Squall had refused to listen to him in the first place. It was true that Lady Rinoa and him were and seemed "busy", but nevertheless. So Zell sat still debating in his mind what to do, while Seifer went to work.

While the inner battle Zell was fighting with himself went on, Seifer was plotting and searching. Not for Rinoa, and not for Squall. No, he was looking for Quistis, the blonde haired fool. She thought he cared for her, wanted her, she was wrong. Seifer was using Quistis, and it might take more time for Seifer to convince Quistis to help him, then it would have a week ago. Surely Quistis has seen the act he pulled a few days ago, understood now his real intention, but he needed her to help him. So when he found her, in her quarter, brushing her long blonde hair, he fell into his gentlemen act.

"Quistis.." He said stepping forward. Quistis just stared at him in the mirror.

" Do you not knock? If you do not mind, I will have to ask you to leave." She said simply, brushing her hair.

" I don't think you want me to.." Seifer said stepping toward her.

"You do not know me that well then, now please good sir, excuse yourself." She said quickly, less confidence then before. Seifer laid his hands on her bare shoulders, she jumped slightly.

"Seifer.." She whined looking up at him. He merely smirked, he had her attention now.

I need a favor from you, Quistis." He said leaning down in front of her. She looked at him, then quirked an eyebrow.

"You will answer my question, before I agree to anything.." She said quickly. Seifer paused, he had no choice, if he said no, his plan would not walk, if he did, he opened himself for a attack.

"Deal." He said quickly, standing up. Quistis looked up at him.

"Do you care for me at all? Or do you care for Rinoa?" She spoke the words quickly then looked down almost as fast. Seifer gritted his teeth, this was what he was afraid of, and he had to answer this smartly. He leaned down, touching her hands carefully and smiled slightly.

"I care for you Quistis, Squall and I just like playing games with one another, you see? He knows what's going on, it is in all good fun." He smiled again, hoping she would believe him. She blinked a few times then nodded.

"I see." She sighed slightly looking away. Seifer squeezed her hand, almost affection ally.

"Will you help me?" He asked putting on another award winning smile. Quistis paused then nodded a few times, then once again more firmly.

"Yes, I will help you." Quistis answered looking him straight in the eye. She paused for a second, she didn't like the look in his eyes. He stood up quickly, his expression changing almost as quickly as he stood.

'Great, now you will do this as a favor for me correct? You cannot ask me about this in public, Squall and I do not like people know our the little rival that goes on between us. Understood?" He asked firmly. She nodded once, a little scared, and a little excited. He leaned down again, smiling evilly. Quistis shivered slightly, the smile went shivers throughout her. She gulped slightly, watching him pace the room, and mutter to himself.

"I can't myself attack Squall, for I already have, I can't do it again, I will lose.." He stopped himself before saying "her". Then it struck him, he paused and looked at her.

"That is It.. you, you will help me bring down Squall." He walked toward her as she stood up to met him.

"I will take Squall to the pub, and give him a few spirits, go downtown tomorrow during the day, and buy one of those new wigs they sell, black hair. I want you at the pub at 12:30 nighttime. I will send Squall upstairs, and you will...' He stopped talking , watching the entire idea show on her face. It started with confusion, then slowly turned to fear and horror.

"Seifer I cannot do that!" She shouted and backed away from him, Seifer's face that was calm, turned furious. He gripped her arm, and pushed her back against the wall, holding onto her arm. She cried out in pain, she felt like his fingers would crush her arm. She swung her other arm, but he grabbed that one and pinned her to the wall.

"You ..promised.." He growled at her, his eyes flashing. She merely stared at him.

"I did not know what I was getting into.." She whined, trying to jerk away from his painfully grip. He tightened it.

"Quistis, I want you, I just need to do this.." He said quickly, and kissed her forcefully. She pulled away, she hadn't imagine her first kiss with Seifer to be like this, she thought about it before, but she never knew it would be like this. He stared hard at her.

" So what are you going to do?" He asked her softly, and released her arm. She rubbed it slightly, she wanted to kiss him again, but she didn't want to be pinned against the wall while doing it.

"Alright.." She muttered looking down. He nodded slowly.

"See you soon.." He said quietly, brushing a lock of hair out of her face, and left the room. Quistis shivered violently, running her hands through her hair.

"Did I just make a deal with the devil?" She muttered to herself.

The next day, Quistis did what she was suppose to do, bought a wig, and prepared herself to look like the lady of the house, while Quistis was doing this, Seifer did a painful deed and made up with Squall and Rinoa. It took more time then he could have guessed, but then again he had done something "terrible". Finally Squall and Rinoa both agreed peace between the three of them. It also took some time for Squall to be convinced to go with Seifer down to the pub, he finally gave in, but Rinoa didn't like it. So Squall and Seifer went downtown, and into the pub. After a good time, Squall was starting to drink, Seifer glanced at a clock near the exit. 11:30, Squall would need to drink much more, before he mixed up Quistis for Rinoa. Seifer started an old fashion drinking game, with the help of Fujin and Raijin, Squall was gone by 12:15. Seifer smirked drinking very little from his bottle, but now and then he would pour the liquor out and asked for another round. Seifer explained that this had all been Rinoa's idea, and that she was waiting for him upstairs. Squall laughed and slapped Seifer many times on the back. Squall stumbling about now, finally got upstairs, and into the room Seifer had directed him into. The first thing Squall noticed was that he was drunk, he knew that at least, the second thing that bothered him was how dark it was. He opened his mouth then shut it seeing a dark haired women.

"Rinoa?" He asked, placing a hand against the wall to steady himself. The women nodded a few times. He frowned slightly, why didn't she say anything, he shrugged slightly and stumbled toward her. She took a step back, then as if being pushed, she hurried toward him, and kissed him. He kissed her back the best he could, but another thing was off. She didn't taste the same, she didn't feel the same, and she didn't smell the same. If Squall's brain was actually working the way it should have, he wouldn't have pushed this things to back of his mind with a faint, "don't worry about it". But at this present condition he was in, he laid this women onto the bed, and laid on top of her.

Rinoa was annoyed. First of all, Seifer had sent Fujin to tell her, that she needed to come get her soon to be husband. Muttering about how the ladies of the house should not be playing fetch, she rode into town, accompany with Zell, for she could not find Quistis. They stepped into the pub, some men gave her two glances, instead of the one drunken one, but she just guessed it was cause they might have found her attractive. The real reason was they were confused on how she was just coming in, when Squall was upstairs in a room with her. They blinked a few times, then shrugged looking back forward. Seifer stood up and walked toward her, wearing a pleasant grin on his face. Rinoa smiled slightly, it was forced then turned to Zell.

"Stay with me please.." She muttered and nodded toward Seifer. Zell nodded a few times, then looked at Seifer.

"Hello Lady Rinoa.." Seifer took Rinoa's hand and kissed it quickly, before she could pull it away.

"Pardon me, Seifer. Do not take this the wrong way, but I would rather not speak , I came to get my fiancé." She raised her eyebrows slightly, Seifer nodded smirking and pointed up the stairs.

"He walked into the second room, he should be fast asleep now." Seifer looked up the stairs to conceal his grin.

"Thank you." She said quickly, then nodded to Zell and the two were off.
