Rin looks after the woman, with a looks so accuasing her of being a cheap coward. Seth grabs her and prevents her from lunging at the woman agian. In the little time he knew her he understood her temper. And kicking someones ass seemed to be her favorite hobby. Rin glares after them, if looks could kill she'd gladly commit homicide. Seth giggles a little.

"It's over, let our fathers handle this, and lets get out of here." Seth orders.

Rin surrenders as Seth picks her up. He looks at Seifer and Squall, reisuring himself it was okay to leave theim. Then he Makes his way carfully up the rockey crevisse. Rin takes a deep breath then suddenly gains weight in his arms. She was asleep.

****

Rin wakes up and she notices hersellf in a soft warm bed. Most of her wounds healed or bandaged, yawning she looks over the room she's in. Obviously this person had no priorities to keep his room clean. Rin pulls back the blankets and wiggles around the trash and out the door. There she herd whispers from the kitchen.

Cuirousity get the best of her so she follows the voices. Squall, and Seifer sat at the table talking, Mrs. Almsy near by with a rolling pin. Rin knocks on the door frame and walks in. Squall looks up at her. Still not the same face he used to look at her with. To him she was no more then a annoying student.

"Behave!"

Out of no where Quintis hits Squall the head with a frying pan. Rin cringes but doesn't say anything. Squall rubs his head painfully and closes one eye.

"Hi Rin, how are you this morning?" Squall growls.

Rin ignores her dad not in the mood for his still teenager ways. Squall looks at Seifer and ponders his next move.

"Rin, come here."

Rin continues to ignore him. Squall stands up quickly, and almost gets anouther frying pan, and rolling pin to the head. He walks over to Rin, and knowing that he couldn't pull on her with out causing her pain he picks her up and carries her out the door into the backyard. Mrs. Almsy, Quintis, and Seifer shove to peek out the kitchen window.

Outside Squall sits Rin down on the ground. "Rin Rai Leonhart, you don't have to act like a child. I know I've done some things that your not happy of, but dammit I'm trying to do my best."

Rin takes a drink of the ornge juice she managed to snag.

"I talked to Seth. I know right now you don't care, but I'm willing to give you two a chance. I just warn you things are gonna be tuff later on. There's children, faimly matters, and then these rebels. They may have retreated but they'll be back. There always back. Things are not going to be easy, and your not going to live happily after."

'Yeah, you say that cause mom died on you.' Rin signs. 'Things would have been differnt if she was still alive.'

Squall opens his mouth to say somthing, but then closes it. He was loosing the battle. Yes, Rinoa wasn't here right now, and he had to raise a daughter alone, with the help of his friends. A daughter that was spit-fire and didn't give a damn. Maybe if he would have been there for her maybe things would have been differnt.

'Is this conversation over?' Rin signs annoyed.

"Yeah," Squall hugs Rin. "I'm sorry for being a ass, it's the best I can do."

Rin hugs her dad back, despite how much she hated him at times, he was her dad. Mistakes is what he did best. Squall lets go of Rin breaking the hug. Rin raises a eye brow chalangeing him to say anything more.

"Umm, Seth's been waiting for you to wake up."

'Figured, dad you got a lump.'

"Yeah I know, me and Seifer got into a argument earler today and Mrs. Almsy broke it up. Not to mention Quintis didn't help."

Rin shakes her head amuzed. 'The didn't hit your head hard enough.'

"Hey!"

Rin walks away and leaves her dad to think. Squall rubs the back of his head and sighs. He was raising a teenager now, and if he didn't realize it then, he realizes it now. Things are gonna be tuffer raising wise. She was a dependent and she wouldn't resist a chance to run.
