Rin yawns and rolls out of bed. She was growing used to getting up without her dad around. Yawning she stretches and makes her way to the bathroom. She was four now and he dad trusted her. A little to much if you might say. Rin uses her stool and runs the water to wash her face. Revived into the land of the living Rin walks into the other room and plops unto the couch.
The front door almost gets knocked down as Squall storms in. He takes one look at Rin holds his head.
~~~
Hour earlier a call came in the client was a small town were children had been disappearing and returning in a vegetable state. The thing responsible refused to come near adults, it only showed it's self to children. The client had asks if they could help and possible had a child available to lure him out.
At first Headmaster Cid found it outrageous and illogical to put an innocent child in danger but the town was in dire need. Thinking headmaster Cid remembers Rin and her abilities to defend herself. She strongest of all the kids he had seen in a while. If they needed a child why not Rin. She was strong and if need be should kick ass.
The next challenge was telling Squall. That came at about seven am. Squall was still not awake and not in the best of moods. Telling that news almost made him homicidal.
~~~
Back in the present.
'What is it dad?' Rin signs yawning.
"Rin what would you say if someone wanted you to go on a dangerous mission? Considering your four." Squall asks.
'I would not mind father.'
Squall growls and disappears into his bedroom. He needed some time to think. Rin sits on the couch watches the time. When it switched numbers twice her dad will be back out. The clock passes two minutes. Squall ventures out slowly and sits beside Rin. Rin slides him over and makes more room for him.
"Rin I want your honest opinion. Do you want to go on this mission? There something hunting kids. The go missing then they reappear as vegetables... Would you want to take that risk?" Squall asks looking into her eyes.
'Dad mom would have liked me to help people. That is how you told me she was. i would love a chance to help people. If they need me I'll go.' Rin signs sincerely.
Squall runs his fingers through his hair. /God please don't take my little girl away from me too soon./ Squall looks at Rin as she shovels her breakfast into her mouth. /What must I do?/ He watches as she stares at him for a few seconds before putting down her bowl and running into the bedroom.
Rin grabs her weapon and runs back into the room. Sneaking behind her dad she takes a cheep shot at his head. Squall grabs his head and yelps. Rin smiles and runs into the hallway. Squall runs after her. This was her way of cheering up her dad/
'What the matter father to weak.' Rin signs teasing Squall.
"Your weak." Squall says in a cool monotone and holds his gun blade in his hand.
Squall attacks Rin but makes sure to be careful. Rin blocks with her weapon and fires off the disk. Squall jumps back and holds his stomach. The favor of not hurting Rin was sometimes returned by his daughter. most other times she ignored it.
Rin charges and they exchange several blows. Rin pushing Squall backwards. So far that Squall trips over a bench placed in the hall. Squall crashes to the floor. Rin jumps over the bench and lands on her dads stomach and begins to tickle him. Laughter fills the hallway as Squall tries to stop Rin.
"Okay Rin I feel better, I give up!" Squall yells.
Rin stops and hugs her dad. Squall hugs her back. Rin then sits her and grabs her weapon and climbs back over the bench and notices Selphie and her camera. Irvine right behind her trying not to laugh. Rin raspberries Selphie, thus prompting Squall to hurry up to his feet. This was to much, Irvine bursts out laughing.
"Selphie I didn't see you." Squall mumbles in startlement.
"Yeah I know, that's how I got it all on tape." Selphie smiles.
"Tell me you didn't." Squall turns pale.
Irvine grabs his sides and tries to breathe. He was laughing so hard. Harder then when Rin was tickling Squall. Selphie reaches back and slaps Irvine on the back.
"Breathe before you pass out Kinney poo." Selphie warns.
*
Squall looks at Rin. She wanted to help. Someone needed her help. He probably was just being selfish wanting to keep his daughter so close to him and out of danger. Defeated Squall reaches down and messes up Rin's hair. Rin looks up at her dad and bats her eyes innocently.
"Fine Rin if you want to you can go on the mission. Rin's eyes open wide and takes a run around the circular path. Selphie watches at Rin runs. Irvine looks at Squall and puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Squall she's a Leonhart no doubt about it." Irvine says.
"I just hope that fact don't get her killed." Squall says.
The next day a group of seeD's come to come and get Rin. Squall hugs her tight and watches her go. It hurt him deeply to watch her go. The worry was soon nipping at his heals. She had grown so much from the little girl that ran around so full of energy. Now she was four and going on her very first mission.
Rin walks proudly be side the group of seeD's. She couldn't remember there names so she referred to em by a, b, c, d, e, and f. None of them minded. Only one of them knew what she was saying anyway. Rin grabs the hand of one of the seeD's as the train arrives to take her to the out skirts of now where. The seeD reaches to pick her up but Rin crosses her arms and looks strong.
Rin props her head up to look out the window. D witch was a male a few years older then Squall sits down by the window and lets Rin use his knee for a stool. D read his book and didn't even bother to look out the window.
B, E and F stood in the corner chit chatting while A and C spar in a corner burning off excess energy. E was the obvious leader of this group, He stood tall and talked with the loudest voice, A looks out the window to see where they were.
"We're here!" A calls out in an almost feminine voice.
D gets up and puts Rin on his shoulder. Rin ducks under the lowness of the train exit and watches as people buzz back and forth. Rin sits up strait and looks around, she wants to see everything. From D's shoulders she had the best view possible.
"So which way from here?" A asks in his, face it, feminine voice.
D and B look at a map and fuss over the best path, joined with the comitaryes of F. Frustrated E pulls the map way from them and looks at it. Turing it the right side up.
"East out of town. We travel strait out and find a river. The city is surrounded by cliffs. A relatively new city built when the valley was discovered after a cave in." E says confidently.
They set out on their journey. Rin continues to ride on D's shoulder. At times Rin thinks D forgets about her up there. After several hours walking who could blame him. B drags her feet she was growing very tired. All she wanted to do was collapse were she walked.
"Are you sure this is the right direction." F asks annoyed.
"Yes, I am." E snaps annoyed.
Rin reaches up and grabs a branch of a tree and pulls herself up. D stops and watches Rin as she climbs up. By the way she climbed he could tell she was upset. B collapses unto the ground and watches as F blows a fuse. She hated kids and Rin was no exception.
"What is that kid doing we need to get to that town before night fall." E curses.
D shrugs and offers E the chance to climb up and get her. E declines and sits beside B. All they can do is wait as Rin did what she was doing.
Rin looks around there was no river near by. Turing to face the opposite direction she notices cliffs and a river. Rin claps her hands and whistles. She found the way. Typical of men to never stop and figure out directions. Rin looks down and begins the climb down. D's strong hands grab her as she nears the last branch.
"What were you thinking you little brat." F snarls.
Rin points to her left. 'River, cliffs.'
"She says there's a River and cliffs to the left." D translates.
"Then we should go that direction." E says.
"I'm not following directions of a kid." F growls.
D ignores her and walks off in the direction Rin pointed out. They were all tired and on edge she'll forget about it once they got a decent break. B gets up and follows them. E follows suit by the other. Soon F hand no choice. She had to follow or be left behind.
They find the river by night fall. D lets Rin down to walk by herself. Rin closes her trench coat and slacks back by F who stares at her.
"I really don't like kids Rin, it's just something I fake." F said almost inaudible.
Rin looks up at F and smiles,
"My names Ming but I want to continue to call me F cause they might catch on." Ming says. "I'm sorry for snapping at you and calling you a brat. Cause you are a smart kid."
"You all right back there?" E calls back.
"Yeah the brats just bugging me. Are we almost there." Ming winks at Rin and runs ahead.
They walk on through the night. About midnight they come across the sleeping city, D scoops up Rin as she almost walks into a light post. They walk into the inn and order 2 room. One for the boys and one for the girls.
****
Squall paces the floor, he couldn't sleep. How was Rin, was she okay? He looks into Rins empty room. It is so weird without her there. Casting his eyes down he goes to lay down. Squall crawls into his cold bed and closes his eyes tight. A buzzing sound soon pries his eyes open. Damn time to get up. Squall groans and crawls back out of bed.
Squall walks out the door to his meeting. Of course he was the first one up and the first one there. By the time someone arrived Squall had at least fifty pencils stuck in the ceiling.
"Couldn't sleep?" Headmaster Cid asks.
"What gave you that idea?" Squall counter asks.
"You'll get over it."
****
Rin opens her eyes. The birds are singing gayly and the sun forced it's way through the curtians. Rin sits up slides out of bed. She steps over Ming and B and makes her way out of the hotel into the street. Very few people are out. She looks around and notices a hopscotch square. Bored she walks over and plays by herself.
About the tenth time across she looks up and sees a woman. Her pause slows and she freezes. The safety in the air disapates like a ice cube in a 500 degree oven. Rin feels her and twiching she so wanted to pull out her weapon.
****
Ming wakes up at the sound of pounding on the door. She gets up and opens the door. It was E, D, A, and C.
"Where's Rin I thought she was with you!" E yells.
"She is... was." Ming kicks B. "Rin's missing get up!"
Ming runs out the door and out of the hotel. People parted directions.
"Rin!" Ming calls out. "Rin Leonhart!"
Ming notices a movement at the side of a hotel. She runs over and notices Rin staring at a woman blankly. There target. A sorceress no doubt. Ming panics and looks around for her group."
"Eon!" Ming screams out. "Over here!"
The sorcerous looks at Ming. "Shut up child."
Mings throat suddenly slits. Ming grabs her throat blood pours through her fingers. Rin looks back at Ming and turns pale. A runs around the corner and catches Ming as she falls.
"Ming, Ming.... Oh shit." A looks at the sorcerous.
"Eon." Ming whispers blood gurgling her words. "Rin."
Eon lays Ming on the ground. She was gone. Eon summons his GF.
"You'll pay for that bitch." Eon yells barely sounding serious through his female voice.
The sorcerous cancels Eon's GF with a silence spell. Eon blinks as the rest of the group runs up. The sorcerous tosses the group back. They lay on the ground unable to move. Barely able to breathe. The sorcerous grabs Rin and tries to absorb her life force.
Rin begins to glow white. Something protects Rin. Finding unforeseen strength Rin opens her jacket and swings her sword in arch. Surprised that the sorceress's hands come off. The sorcerous screams and a loud explosion fills Rins ears.
Mission gone bad but completed.
****
"Squall hurry up there's been an accident!" Selphie yells bursting into Squalls meeting. "Three people dead, one hurt seriously and two their conditions are unknown.
Squall jumps up from his seat, and runs out the door faster then anyone has in the history of man. He pushes the down button and prances by the elevator. This place needed stairs. After an eternity it opens and Squall takes it to the fist floor. Pushing it open prematurely so he could get out faster.
Squall runs to the infirmary were he sees three people covered by sheets none of them the size of a child. Another person lay on the bed. The doctors trying to save him. Not Rin.
"Shhh child it's alright. All will be fine." A womans voice rang out.
Squall runs to the voice and discovers Rin sitting next to a man. Her hands are wrapped up tight with bandages and she was shaking. The man sitting next to her looked like he steped on a mine but was more concerned with Rin.
"Rin you alright?" Squall asks Rin.
Rin hugs her dad careful not to touch him with her hands. Rin starts to cry.
"She'll be fine." The feminin voice says. "I'm Eon."
Squall raises his eye brow. He never a man talk with a womans voice.
"Don't worry I'm not gay, purberty skiped something when it came." Eon laughs. "I better go check on my friend. He's the only one out of two I have left. Well not counting Rinny."
Squall hugs Rin tighter. All his fears came true in less then a second. He knew he should have never let her go. Despite the bad mission Rin recovers. Eon, D, and B visit every now and then. Watching Rin as she plays he realizes that it would be best to have her start kindergarden. It was alright with headmaster Cid.
Rin sits in her desk and glances at a blonde haired boy next to her. Class started yet so he leans over to speak to her.
"Hi I'm Seth Alsmay."
