Chapter 2: Flash of Gold
Quistis couldn't believe her eyes; in front of her kneeling on the floor of headmaster Cids office was the arrogant ex-sorceress knight who would never admit he was wrong, Seifer. His long filthy grey trench coat spread out in back of him in a semi-circle, the edge still torn and covered in dirt and he former teacher was astonished that he had not bought a new one. Behind of him doing likewise was the white albino Fujin and her dark skinned brother Raijin, whom she still wondered how if was possible that they were related. Both of their heads were down and because of the startlingly clean reflective floor she could see they had their eyes closed, probably instructed by Seifer to do so because he was the only one looking at her. Realizing that she was analyzing thing too much again she decided to let him speak, and slowly trying to keep her cool she nodded.
"Please Quisty" the blond pleaded "You've gotta let me come back. I'm a changed man" At those words the headmaster coughed loudly and she started laughing, thinking to herself: yeah right. What shocked her though was that he wasn't enraged by her sudden outburst, or at least he wasn't letting it show. Instead he just stared up at her with those icy green eyes and waited for her to finish. Maybe the sorceress had thought him a few things including the meaning of subtlety.
"I have changed" he repeated, after a while, with a voice that sounded like cold winter morning. "Let me stay, and if for any reason you still don't want me here, I'll go. No questions asked."
"AFFIRMATIVE" Fujin yelled finally looking at her with her blood red gaze.
"Yeah, we'll leave too. Ya know" stated Raijin. He too had lifted his head.
Quistis frowned. Why was she the one, of all people, who had to worry about this? It was true that she was now in charge of anything that concerned students, since Squall had been gracious enough to hand her that position, but Seifer didn't really count. Did he? She signed, knowing the answer to the question, and looked up at the ceiling, whispering:
"What in Hynes name did I do to deserve this?" Seifer smirked.
"You met Squall" he answered. His sneer never faded even when she glared at him. She pushed her blond bangs out of her face and closed her eyes. She needed to think which she couldn't do while they all stared at her. What eh was suggesting was a good deal, but on the other hand what would her friends think? Zell wouldn't take it to well considering the fact that he exploded at the mere mention of the word chicken. She didn't think of what would happen if he came face to face with the person who started the nickname. Selphie wouldn't mind if he didn't call her messenger girl. Irvine wouldn't care as long as he stayed away from Selphie or any girl the cowboy was planning to hit on. Rinoa wouldn't stand for it. After all the knight had thrown her into Adels hands, and Squall.
She turned to face the headmaster at a speed that surprised even her.
"With your permission sir may I use the intercom?" she asked. He handed her the microphone, and clearing her throat, she turned it on and waited for the familiar music prior to an announcement to fade away.
"Could Squall please come to headmaster Cids office immediately?"
***********
Squall was drawing blizzard from the Draw point in the Training Center when he heard his name being called to the headmaster's office.
"What now?" he sighed, rolling his eyes, completely indifferent to the fact that it was Quistis talking and not Cid. He walked across the bridge and was attacked by a Grat which he slashed in half instantly. The blue blade going through the creature's body like a knife through butter.
As he walked past the metallic door, he was completely oblivious to the fact that he had just missed Rinoa, who had gone through the other door, looking for him.
***********
As Rinoa entered the Training Center, the damp air and humid smell hit her instantaneously. She walked through the door on the left hand side of the entrance and froze running right into a vicious T-Rexaur. She smiled having been angry just a minute ago because she hadn't been able to wake Squall up and now had to go looking for him. She was pleased to finally find something to take her anger out on. The sorceress took her fighting stance and reached for her Shooting Star only to discover that it wasn't there. With a horrified look on her face she barley managed to dodge the gigantic reptile's tail, and tried to summon Shiva only to remember that she had forgot to junction.
"Shit" she screamed when she didn't manage to dodge the enormous jaws, and found the incredible teeth were sharper then she last remembered, as they slice open her smooth white skin with ease. She fell to the ground trying to catch her breath which she found impossible because the monsters fangs had pierced her lungs. She tried to move to use her limit break just to cough up blood and feel agonizing pains go through her ripped body. The young women life flashed before her eyes and just when she thought she was going to die she saw a flash of gold hit the T-Rexaur neck and then she saw no more.
