The day of Rin's seventeenth birthday couldn't have been any worse. Some SeeD's off on some mission came back, either dead or out cold. People hurried back and forth hauling in the bodies. Others cared for the wounded. With no one around to lead, Zell and Xu took control of the situation. The dead they moved to a second story class room. Why they took so many SeeD's with them was beyond them.
"Zell can you go get Squall?" Xu asks.
"Sure, he's going to want to know about it anyway." Zell smiles at his wife. "But if I don't come back, Squall killed me okay?"
Xu rolls her eyes and goes back to directing traffic. Zell runs off at high pace, wondering inwardly were Selphie and Irvine were, they were usually first to notice the trouble around here. If the school continued the way it did it was bound to fail. Coming to Rin and Squalls dorm Zell pounds on the door.
"Squall open up!"
Pounding on the door filled the small apartment. Rin rolls over and tosses a shoe at her dad's wall. The annoying pounding continued with a louder annoying person yelling for Squall to open up. Grabbing another shoe she chucks it harder at the wall. Then about after five minutes, and Rin swearing the door couldn't hold anymore, Rin gets up. Angrily she opens her dads door.
It was empty, the bed made perfectly like it was the day before. Looking around she notices the gunblade was gone to. Squall's supper still sat untouched on the desk. He was never home last night. Glowering Rin turn towards the door and swings it open.
Zell freezes in mid punch of the door and unconsciously screams at the site before him. Rin stood, hair all over the place, in a stained white T-shirt, and green plaid boxers, weapon in hand. With drawing his fist to his side he takes a deep breathe.
"Is your father home?" Zell asks.
Rin shifts weapon to ready mode in her right hand, supporting herself with her left hand on the door frame.
"I take that as a no, and your quite pissed cause he was supposed to be home." Zell says nervously.
"Well, if you father comes home tell him I need him."
Rin steps forward and threatens to hit Zell with the handle of the blade. Zell yelps and runs off down the hall. Right now Rin didn't care what was going on she did not like being bothered this early in the morning. Turning back around she slams the door shut. She was headed back to bed, but before she could take another step a more timid knocking sounded at the door. Rin turns around and swings open the door prepared to kill the person on the other side.
A timid Selphie clone cringes, and squeaks pausing Rin's murder intent. Meekly the girl looks up at Rin wondering why the blow didn't come. Not knowing herself yet how much control Rin had. But like you'd note that having a blade held over your head when the person on the other side is tired and cranky.
"It's me Inna, it's about Squall." Inna pauses. "Quintis sent me."
Rin lowers her blade, 'what about dad?'
"Come on."
Inna grabs Rin's hand and drags her out of the room.
Quintis lay in the infirmary, her face contorted with pangs of pain. Cid stood at her side contemplating on what to do about this situation. His hair was about all gone, and he sat hunched and ready for retirement. The one more person was moved next to Quintis, one might swear his was dead if not for his moaning.
"Quintis?"
"She's in here." Cid calls out.
Quintis opens her eyes watches Inna drag in a half asleep Rin. Who tried not to step on objects on the floor in her bare feet. Cid gets up and moves so Rin can sit down next to Quintis. Taking a glance at Inna, Rin takes the place next to Quintis. It was clear she was crying. That brought on confusion, and only the worst thoughts in Rin's mind. Quintis takes a deep breath and shifts into a sitting position the best she can.
"Rin, I'm sorry, the only one not brought back today was your father." Quintis begins a little to abruptly. "He's either dead or captured, more then likely dead."
'How?' Rin signs emotionally stunned.
"We were on a mission, we knew of an uprising so we were gonna go crush it then be back before anyone knew. We didn't know they had a sorceress of high power. Even more then before I think." Quintis looks Rin square in the eye. "At least he was lost for a good cause."
'Lost? Are you not gonna look for him?' Rin signs dreadfully.
"Look, Rin we don't have the man power to go up against someone just cause Squall is missing. Rin you just going to have to accept the facts."
'Bitch.'
Rin gets up knocking over the chair, Quintis twitches recognizing this anger. She was Rinoa's daughter all right, her father would have accepted the loss, but Rin was not going to give up. Not without a good and ugly fight. Rin pulls her eyes away from Quintis's and storms out of the infirmary. She knew people were watching her, wondering what was going on, and what was about to happen.
"Rin wait!" Xu runs up to Rin. "Please don't run off. Despite what Quintis may say right now we will get you father back."
'I'm not waiting.' Rin signs.
"Rin no."
Xu reaches for Rin only to have Rin slap her hand away. Rin was going to do something stupid, there was no ifs about it. Xu glares at Rin as she turns to walk away. No, this was not going to happen.
"Zell! I need your help!" Xu calls out.
Zell dashes out of no were, Xu points at Rin. Groaning Zell runs up to Rin grabs her shoulder. Rin spins around and raises her blade in challenge. Zell erks, and grabs her hand with the blade and her other hand and pushes Rin against the wall. Irvine and Squall knew more about restraining then he did. To prove so Rin brings up her knee and hit's Zell in the nuts.
Strong arms grab Rin and restrain her, as she backs away from Zell. Zell looks up to see spiky blonde hair just like his. Zell JR, on the surprise again. Rin kicks and tries to break out of his hold. Thinking finally Zell grabs her blade and pulls it from her hand.
"Zell please bring to her room and keep her there." Xu asks sweetly to her son.
"Yeah mom."
Zell watches his son drag off Rin. Doubling once again he falls to the floor holding his groin area. Xu giggles and walks over to hug him.
"I don't know where she gets the ability to kick," Zell mumbles.
"Her mother more then likely." Xu replies, "So when do we try for Squall?"
Zell looks at Xu, "honestly? I have no clue, I don't even think we have the man power."
"Shit."
"Rin will calm down, then we can think of something."
Zell rests his head on Xu's shoulder. Xu strokes his hair and remembers all that Squall did for them.
"I hope so." Xu whispers.

Squall dead or no? ROFL
