Note: This is my very first fic. I have read a bunch of others before but just mustered up enough courage to make one. It may be short, but trust me it will be filled with humor and that mooshy stuff you know you like. For the first few chaps it will explain how the characters get to the same dimension or world whatever you want to call it. Oh yeah and the pairings in this chap well none really, but later on Squall and Rinoa will get together. I know, I know it's the basic pairing but hey what can I say. They look make a good couple. Now have fun reading!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Final Fantasy characters or any of the games made and owned by Square or any of the characters from Rurouni Kenshin. If you have any questions please contact my lawyer. What am I old enough to have a lawyer...let me think.....I'll have to get back to you on that.

The Wandering Heroes

Chapter 1- Final Fantasy 8

The world had been quelled from the evil that once plagued it. Ultimecea was gone for good and the heroes who did it could finally settle down and have some well deserved rest and peace. They were hoping to see the end of the adventures, but a new ordeal was just beyond the horizon. It had been almost a year or a half since the legendary battle. Many of the heroes from the group were with someone else. Married or in a relationship, but Irvine of course was still trying to find a good woman that would put up with his attitude and rude personality. Squall wouldn't confess his love for Rinoa, not just yet at least, but Zell would always mention that he caught the two once or twice in Rinoa's bedroom doing some stuff. Squall always denied it immediately and turned away and Zell got a smack or two over the head by Rinoa who would blush at the mention of the subject.

The day was Quistis' and her boyfriend named Ken's wedding day. They were having it outside in the forest near Balamb Garden. It had been cleared of all monsters so it was safe for the celebration to take place. The forest was very beautiful. The sunshine had shown through at random spots through the dense forest leaves, making the scenery glow with the fresh scent of trees and the scrumptious aroma of the various wild flowers hidden away in the deep dense wood.

As they walked down the aisle small specks of sun would glitter down on her long, white, gown. When they stopped at the end of the aisle they turned toward each other and gazed into each others eyes. But then, to there dismay, Seifer stomped into the wedding. Squall stood up at once pissed at Seifer for coming as he warned him not to come or else he would have to pay, but Rinoa put her hand on his shoulder as to tell him to sit back down before he got into some serious trouble. Almost everyone knew Seifer had a thing for Quistis, but no one ever talked about it.

"Seifer I thought I made sure I didn't invite you here. Now would you mind leaving!" She told him, turning around and glaring intently at him.

"Yeah, I was wondering why I didn't get an invitation. Aren't I friend, Quisty?" He said back, totally ignoring her request. Quistis fumed as Seifer called her that silly little pet name that he wouldn't stop calling her ever since he found out about Quistis and Ken. Selphie stood up from her seat nearly knocking it backwards but catching it in time, seeing the perfect day being ruined and turned toward Seifer and yelled.

"She didn't invite you because she knew you'd do something like this!" Irvine quickly stood up forcing her back down to her chair and standing up himself to confront Seifer. Seifer seeing Irvine pulled his gunblade out and balanced it neatly on his shoulder, all the time staring at the cowboy, like daring him to come any closer to him. Irvine was stupid or to stubborn enough to take the dare, but was quickly knocked back down to the floor by Seifer's steel hard fist and fell on his back, right near Selphie's feet, who knelt down next to him trying to shove his shaking hands away from his bloody face. He let his hands wander away from his broken nose only to see a pair of bloody hands in front of his face.

Squall stood right back up and walked into the aisle. Rinoa wouldn't dare to try and stop him, but followed him into the aisle. By then they had gotten the entire party's full attention, but none involved in it, with there ever gazing eyes. Seifer tore his gaze away from a suffering Irvine and looked up at Squall and smirked.

"Oh so know the 'hero' will come and save the day. Well bring it on" He said motioning for him to attack him.

"Well I don't have my gunblade with me, but I'll be glad to fight you with my bare fists." He said putting his fists up. Seifer thought to himself, 'Hell I might have a chance at beating him this time, that is if chicken- wuss doesn't bust in.' He dropped his gunblade down on the grass floor next to him making a loud thud on the soft soil. He put his fists like Squall did as well. "Alright then let's start this..." Irvine finally stood up from the floor. His coat had blood stains all the way down. Irvine started at Seifer, totally pissed at him for what he did. Selphie was trying to hold him back by tugging on his light brown leather coat before he could do more damage, but to no avail. Rinoa ran up as well hoping to break up the fight, before the entire day was destroyed. At that moment though, all of the people that were involved in the incident blacked-out. All the other guests saw was the five disputing heroes disappear into thin-air. All stood amazed and wide- eyed at what happened, not really being able to take in the whole thing at once. The first to talk was the obnoxious and rude Zell who exclaimed, "What the hell just happened?!" Not long after that the wedding was post- poned and the search began to find the five fighters.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Soon enough, though the five could be seen in a shadowy forest, lying down in a soft grassy patch. Rinoa pushed herself up from the floor with her arms; her legs though were still lying on the floor. She looked around her surroundings for something familiar to her. All the others were still on the floor except Irvine who was rubbing his eyes. She stopped her eyes on Seifer who was still knocked out. She glared at him for ruining the wedding. She heard someone abruptly clear there throat and she wiped her head around toward the sound. Her weary eyes then stopped on a tall man. He was wearing a white bandana with spiky brown hair atop his head. His face was stern as he looked down upon the group. His hands were shoved into the pockets' of the white pants he as wearing. He had a white jacket on with many bandages on underneath around his gut. He seemed very strong with his many muscles being showed. He walked slowly over to her and looked down at her and said with a slightly deep voice and said.

"Are you alright?" Later on in there stay in this strange world they would find out his name is Sanosuke.
