A week passed in awed silence after the incident with Squall. Irvine and Selphie returned to a yelling. Neither of them expecting trouble to rise up at the school in there absence, and further more telling no one where they went so that they could be reached in an emergency. Two fatal flaws in senior SeeD's, and don't get into the trouble they got for leaving there underage kids alone. Bobby thankfully managed to keep them inline with only a minor amount of damage, and chaos.
Laguna recovered and told his message, conveniently leaving out the flicker of Squall's humanity. It would all be easier if he didn't tell them. It was in evadable that they would have to come face to face in a fight. Be better if they just saw the evil him, then the humanity that might not be there. Laguna sights and puts his head on his hands, lost in deep thought over Squall.
"Laguna what is it?"
Laguna looks up at Cid, he forgotten he was sitting in on a meeting. Now the whole room was looking at him. Like they saw strait through to the secret he held. Laguna sat up strait and stares back at the group. What should he say? He couldn't tell the truth, it was to much for any of them face. Well, at least not the whole truth, a quarter of the truth would be fine.
"Just thinking about Squall, that is all." Laguna responds.
"Maybe you shouldn't me in this meeting." Quintis shoves in. "I mean you are his father, what reassurance do we have that you won't go spoil our plans by telling Squall what we have planned."
"Cause ma'am, I got a granddaughter to worry about." Laguna tries to stay polite.
"Seifer's taking care of her, you don't need to worry about her."
"Squinty, don't be a fallacious bitch. I maybe her future father-in-law, but it doesn't replace close family." Seifer responds in a low growl. "I trust him if it's worth anything."
Quintis squints her face and glares at Squall.
"Yeah! Not to mention I don't think Laguna herd a word we said." Selphie cuts in.
Irvine begins to laugh beside her, he certainly found this funny. Cid face contorted with a difficult decision, Edea and Ellone stared at him hoping he do the right move. Only Quintis really thought Laguna as a possible leak. Still it was Cid's job to over think everything, even if the possibilities were slim.
"I don't know, he could be a threat, but he is close to Rin." Cid finally speaks. "Still even if one question is raised I must respond to it, I'm sorry Laguna."
"No, it's okay Cid." Laguna gets up. "I'll leave on my own accord."
Laguna left the room, whispers hushing behind him. It was in his best interest to leave. He was touched by Squall, and he still felt Squall's hand on his arm. It disturbed him greatly, and he wondered why the feeling never faded away. Needing to get a break away from it all Laguna heads for Rin's room. His presence there would be welcomed. Silently Laguna prays for Raine's help.

When he got to Rin's room Seth let him in without another word. Now Laguna looked upon his sleeping grandchild. She was sleeping on her bed, curled in a ball hugging her dads jacket. Her hair lay strewn around her, and in the room Laguna realizes it was not black like her moms, but a dark brown like her dad. Carefully Laguna pulls the blanket up over her shoulders and lets her sleep. She looks so much like a little angel laying there, it would be a shame to wake her.
"How long as she been asleep?" Laguna whispers.
"Not long." Seth answers promptly and almost inaudibly.
Laguna takes a deep breathe. "I cannot let them decide her fathers future without me."
Seth blinks at Laguna's declaration. Laguna turns around and heads back to the meeting room. The feeling of Squall's hand increased, but he didn't care. He was not a traitor Quintis thought he was, he had a family to care for. No offense but those orphans had no idea what it was like to have a worried parent on there hands.
****
Laguna grabs the door and swings it open. He freezes and his mouth drops. This couldn't be happening, not now. Before his eyes Squall had Cid by his shoulder. Ellone was kneeling by Edea who was obviously knocked on her ass. Irvine, Quintis, Xu, Zell, and Selphie stood at an unsteady fight stance. Laguna looks back and Squall who just noticed him.
"Daddy dearest." Squall mocks.
"Squall don't do this." Laguna scolds.
"What dad?" Squall chuckles. "Did you know what some cultures do?"
"What?" Laguna's hand fell back on his gun.
Squalls long purple nails dig into Cid's chest like it was nothing more then air. In a spurt of blood similar to a fire work explosion Squall rips out Cid's heart. Cid had not time to cry out before he fell over dead, this case it did not take a few seconds for someone with there heart ripped out to die. Squall smiles impudently, and in four slow bites he eats Cid's heart. Then to add insult to the situation casually licks off the blood off his fingers. Blood ran from the corner of his mouth and his black highlighted eyes filled with glee.
"They eat the hearts of there enemies for knowledge, and to gain their strength." Squall takes a step forward. "I just needed his knowledge."
"Bastard!"
Laguna pulls out his gun and closes his eyes and fires his gun several times at Squall. When the dust settles Squall is no were to be seen. The younger generation stares confused and awed, while Laguna filled with horror. Something was not right. Laguna steps back, and into someone. A pale hand claps Laguna's chin, purple nails leary of cutting the skin. Laguna froze he knew any second he could be dead.
"Daddy, try that again I will kill you." Squall warns.
"Next time you won't have a chance." Laguna responds unthoughtfully.
Squall licks Cid's blood off his lips. Gracefully he reaches down to Laguna's gun and slowly crushes it with one hand. Watching Laguna's fearful face for only a second more then is gone. Laguna drops to his knees his legs unable to hold his weight, and tries to calm his beating heart.
