Chapter 8
Raijin's story
A/N: I don't own them Squaresoft does. And the song is a Weezer song called 'Sweet Adeline'.
The large man behind the blonde stepped forward.
:::flash back to before the dance:::
"Finally!" Selphie screamed as she ran from Squall's office toward Raijin's room where the three other assignees most likely were.
She knocked on the door.
"You can come in, ya know" the not quite as deep as it should be voice of Raijin squeaked.
Selphie stepped in and her smile grew as soon as she saw seifer. She became serious as she read out their official orders.
"Fujin, Raijin, and seifer are to accompany miss Tilmett blah blah blah Timber bla bla bla mission of utmost importance...." she smiled really brightly and sang "we're going on a mission"
Fujin jumped and threw a fist in the air "W00T" (that week she had taken to expressing herself in really loud 1337 5p33k) leet speak...its a geek thing
Raijin and seifer did a funny little matching dance while chanting "yesssss"
"So," Selphie said, "I take it that you've accepted this mission?"
Everyone nodded.
"Schweet" Selphie said
~Later~
"Ok guys, its time to set up camp ummmmmm Fu and I are going to set up the tents while you two fetch some firewood"
"We're not dogs, ya know" Raijin sounded insulted.
"Yeah," Seifer added, "who the hell uses the word fetch anyway?"
Fujin stepped in front of Selphie pulled back her leg as if she was going to kick some shins and said "W00F"
"We're fetching we're fetching" they said as they ran off
"Yes," Selphie smirked "you are" as she stared at seifer as he disappeared into the forest.
"Ok fu, ummmm I'll set up the tents you make the fire pit"
"907C#4" (gotcha) she saluted.
~Meanwhile~
"Oi Seif, when you going to tell her?"
"Tell who what?" seifer looked confused.
"The Tilmett girl, when are you going to tell her you like her?"
"I do not" he feigned being insulted
"I can tell when you're lying, ya know"
"You're right" seifer sighed, "but I don't know what to tell her"
"Umm how bout this?" he lowered his voice to Seifer's level "hey messenger girl, you look hot today, here let me take some of your clothes off"
"What the hell?" seifer stared at Raijin in utter shock "I would never say that to Selphie"
"Ok how about if I said you had a nice body would you strip naked and go buck wild with me in the tent?"
Seifer glared at Raijin "I know now why you can't keep a girlfriend"
"Ok hot shot what would you say"
Seifer stopped for a minute and thought. "ummm Selphie, "his voice softened "you look so beautiful in the fire light"
"Dude, that is so g..."he was interrupted by three sets of screams.
The first one was definitely Selphie's. The second sounded like a 'I've been kicked in the shins by Fujin' scream. The third one was a sound that never has been heard before nor ever will be (except by the ears of squall...that stallion)
"That must be Fujin" they both said as they ran back to camp.
Seifer ran to the crumpled form of Fujin as Raijin ran to a note lying on a log next to the freshly dug fire pit.
"Fujin wake up, what happened where's Selphie wasn't your eye patch on the other side???"
"Huh?" Fujin whispered as she realized the gravity of the situation and started to sob uncontrollably.
"No Fu, now is not the time to start acting like a girl." Seifer said as he started to shake Fujin like a rag doll.
"Selphie's been kidnapped" Raijin said as he looked at the letter… "She is being held in a cabin somewhere on Mount Timber…"
Just then, a primal scream echoed off of the mountain. "With a very large, very hungry bear"
"THIS WAY" Fujin pointed
About an hour later they found a windowless shack in the woods. It was boarded up from the outside. They didn't hear anything inside. Panicked, Seifer pulled his gunblade out just as his friends pried the last board off of the door. After they had stopped shouting for Selphie to hold on as Seifer busted in expecting to see a gruesome sight, their eyes adjusted to the light and what they saw was worse than they expected.
Selphie was in front of the wood burning stove battered and bruised, scratched so badly that there were only a few strips of cloth left on her yellow dress (strategically covering naughty bits) She was sitting on a bearskin rug, cooking meat (smelled really good actually) and singing quietly to herself.
"Say you'll be mine (say you'll be mine)
Won't you come and let me whisper in your ear
Way down yonder in the old cornfield
For you (for you)
I've pined
Sweeter than the honey
To the honey bee
I love you
Say you love me
Meet me in the shade
Of the old apple tree"
"Selphie?" Seifer asked as if he was making sure that the person in front of him really was the girl he thought she was.
She screamed and came toward him wielding a pointed stick covered in gore.
Seifer screamed as he grabbed her wrist.
Fujin and Raijin looked at each other and screamed for the hell of it.
"Selphie it's me." The bloodthirsty look left her eyes.
"Seifer?" she fell to the ground weeping then finally passed out from blood loss.
"You two, pack up camp. I'm going to call for help"
Fujin and Raijin saluted and ran down the hill. (They call it a mountain but in California it's a hill)
Seifer pulled out a curaga and gave it to Selphie. He wrapped her in his coat and carried her down to the camp.
-------------------End third person ---------------------
"And that's how it happened" Raijin said.
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
"What? I'm not going to say it, ya know" He paused realized what he said and smacked himself in the head.
A/N: I've been writing a lot lately, coming up with ideas for other stories, and I'm running out of ideas for what happens to them when they get back home…sigh… lucky for you guys that wont happen for you guys for something like 4 or 5 chapters… I'd like to welcome fan #3 ResureXtion to our happy little review family.
