***Blood and Love***
**I Love You**
"Y-you're a what?" asked Rinoa, looking at Squall increduously.
"I'm a vampire," repeated Squall. Rinoa just looked at him like he was insane.
Squall sighed. Maybe a relationship with Rinoa wasn't just meant to be. He let go of
Rinoa and turned around, walking.
"Squall, wait!" said Rinoa, running up to him. Squall turned around.
"I-I believe you. I think I knew since I had that strange dream," said Rinoa.
Squall raised an eyebrow.
"After I first met you, I had a dream about us walking in the moonlight. Then
Seifer appeared and bit me. Things became hazy after I fell down, but I think I saw
Seifer biting you," explained Rinoa. Squall nodded.
"Uh, Rinoa, I got something to tell you..." said Squall.
"What is it?" asked Rinoa, looking up at Squall. A small blush appeared at
Squall's cheeks.
"Uh...Hyne, I don't wanna sound cliche, but here it goes. I-" An unseen force
hurled Squall into a tree.
"Squall!" cried Rinoa, rushing to his side. Rinoa helped him sit up as he shook
his head. Rinoa looked up.
"Seifer!?" she said, surprised.
"What are you doing here?" growled Squall, wiping the blood from his lips.
Seifer smirked.
"To take what's rightfully mine," said Seifer, grabbing Rinoa's arm. Seifer
started dragging Rinoa away from Squall. Rinoa struggled to get free from his grip.
"Let her go!" said Squall, staggering to his feet. Seifer stopped and started
laughing.
"You think you can stop me, Leonhart?" asked Seifer in a mocking tone.
"Let her go now and perhaps I'll consider letting you leave alive," threatened
Squall. Seifer turned around.
"Are you challenging me, Leonhart? You may have gained experience using
your powers, but have you forgotten who gave you those powers?" said Seifer.
"I've been training since you murdered Rinoa! It's time for revenge!" said
Squall, charging towards Seifer. Something stopped Squall for attacking Seifer.
"Stop it!" cried Quistis.
"What do you think you're doing?" demanded Squall.
"This is stupid! Seifer, Rinoa's not a prize to be won. When are you going to
stop letting your pride control you?" asked Quistis.
"This is none of your business Quistis!" said Seifer.
"Stop it! I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me!" cried Rinoa.
"This is between me and Leonhart!" stated Seifer. With a flick of his hand, a
hidden force hurled Rinoa into Quistis and both were slammed into the old wall.
Rinoa fell unconscious and Quistis struggled to free both of them from the rubble.
(A.N. yup, they broke the wall where squall and rinoa first fell in love!) Seifer then
created a force field around a portion of the park to prevent Quistis from interrupting
their fight.
Seifer looked at Squall and smirked.
"This is the fight I've been waiting for! The last match!" said Seifer, Hyperion
appearing in his hand.
"Get ready to die, Almasy!" said Squall, his own gunblade appearing in his
hands. The two vampires charged at each other swinging their weapons down at
each other.
Quistis shut her eyes and concentrated on getting out of the pile of bricks
laying down on her and Rinoa. Suddenly, the bricks turned into dust and Quistis
checked herself for any injuries. Her arms and legs had huge gashes that soon
healed themselves. Quistis looked at Rinoa. The only injury Rinoa had was a gash in
her left arm. Quistis closed her eyes and put her hand over Rinoa's arm. Light
emanated from Quistis' palm and closed up Rinoa's gash. The only thing left from the
injury was a small scar. Rinoa started waking up.
"Ugh...Wh-what happened?" asked a dazed Rinoa. She heard metal clashing
one another and saw Squall and Seifer fighting.
"Squall!" cried Rinoa, scrambling to her feet and running towards them. She
ran into the force field.
"What the-"
"A force field..." replied Quistis, touching the invisible blockade.
"You mean we can't stop them? Can't you use your vampire power to do
something?" asked Rinoa.
"I can...but it'll take a while. Seifer's power is far more stronger than mine,"
explained Quistis.
"But we don't have 'a while'! They'll be dead...Hey, they're both vampires!
They can't die, right?" asked Rinoa, hope returning to her.
"All things have to have an end. Nothing can live forever. They can die if they
are stabbed through their hearts," sighed Quistis.
"So all we can do is watch while they kill themselves!? This is not right!"
screamed Rinoa, pounding her fists on the force field.
"I need to tell Squall...He has to live, he just has to!" said Rinoa, tears
streaming down her cheeks.
But what about Seifer? I have a feeling...that both of them won't come out
alive... thought Quistis as she laid her hands on the force field, closing her eyes
as she concentrated on breaking the force field.
Both fighters were tired, but still continued on clashing their swords together.
"You ready to give up, Leonhart? Maybe I'll let you live if you surrender now!"
"Never! I can never forgive you for killing Rinoa!" growled Squall. That was
when he saw Seifer's chest unprotected. Squall drove his sword through Seifer.
Blood. His eyes widened in shock as he jerked his sword out of the body.
"Oh my God...I-I'm..." stuttered Squall, his words unable to pass his lips.
Quistis fell backwards into Seifer arms, her blood stained her shirt. Quistis was able
to break the force field and used her own body as a shield for Seifer.
"Q-Quisty? You're-I...Why?" stammered Seifer.
"Because I love you," answered Quistis, laughing softly, despite the fact that
death was lingering closer. "I finally said it. I love you, Seifer Almasy! I love you,
even though you love another..." Tears had escaped from Seifer's eyes.
"I love you, too," he said softly. Quistis had already fell limp on his arms.
"Quistis? Quistis!!...She never knew..."
"I'm sorry, Seifer..." apologized Squall. Seifer gently laid Quistis' body on the
ground and glared at Squall.
"Because of you, I never got to tell her my how I felt! Rot in hell, Leonhart!!"
cried Seifer, thrusting his sword forward. Reflexively, Squall did the same.
Rinoa had started to run towards Squall, but she had froze when she saw
Squall stab Quistis. And then she saw blood dripping from Quistis' chest. Rinoa never
liked the sight of blood--it made her squeamish. Then she saw the two swords
dripping with blood. She started running towards Squall, hoping to save him.
Squall and Seifer had pierced through each other's hearts. Seifer laid himself
down next to Quistis and kissed her lips.
"I love you always, even through death," he whispered before he and Quistis
turned into dust. Rinoa had seen that also and started to run faster.
"Squall!!!" cried Rinoa, she reached her arm out to touch him. Squall turned
towards her, blood leaking profusely from his chest. He smiled weakly at her.
"Bye, Rinoa..." he said, turning into dust. At the same time, Rinoa managed
to grab him. Her body shook as she dropped to her knees and cried. In her hand was
Squall's silver necklace with Griever engarved in it. She held the necklace close to
her heart.
"I never got to tell him that I love him..." A gentle breeze surrounded her.
"I love you too..." it whispered in her ears.
***************************************************************
"Then what happened? Then what happened?" asked a little girl. The woman
laughed softly at her child's enthusiasm.
"Then Rinoa graduated from high school and went to a university. After
graduating fron the university, she adopted a little girl who reminded her very much
like Squall. Then the little girl grew up and got married to a wonderful man. They
soon had a baby, unfortunately, Rinoa died on the same day the baby was born. So
the woman named the baby after her adopted mother," said the woman.
"I'm that baby, right, Mommy?" asked the girl. The mother smiled, her blue
eyes twinkling.
"Mommy, what did the Rinoa in your story looked like?" asked little 'Rinoa'.
"Well, she looked a lot like you, and she was a lot like you too!" replied the
mother. Rinoa smiled.
"Is this the same necklace in the story too, Mommy?" queried Rinoa, pointing
to the silver necklace around her neck. The mother nodded.
"Hey! It's time to go to the park, Rinoa!" said the father who had just walked
in.
"Is the park the same park in your story?" asked Rinoa. The mother nodded
again.
"What story? Oh, you mean THAT story..." said the father, taking Rinoa's
hand.
At the park, Rinoa was playing in the sandbox when she saw a boy. He was
standing near the newly built wall. Curious to why he was alone, Rinoa walked
towards the boy.
"Hi! What are you doing here?" asked Rinoa.
"I'm waiting..." said the boy, examining Rinoa. Rinoa noticed this and
blushed.
"For who?" The boy shrugged.
"Uh...That's a pretty necklace," commented the boy, pointing Griever.
"It belonged to my grandma."
"What's your name?" asked the boy.
"Rinoa. What's yours?"
"Squall."
