*The Wilderness Boys*
Squall took back Cerberus. Siren was screaming louder in a high banshee scream. Squall dropped his gunblade and held his ears. Zell seemed to be unaffected by it. He was standing in fighting stance ready for anything. The screaming was getting louder. That meant that Squall had to let go of his ears and grab his gunblade ready to face the danger. It was getting closer and finally erupted through the trees. A giant sized Ifrit was holding poor Siren by her throat. She was screaming and trying to rip its hand away. It was no use so she just kept screaming and holding on. The huge Ifrit saw the GFs all around it and threw Siren at them like a rock. She crashed into the ground and lay there. Squall had to resummon Cerberus. All the GF's did a special attack where they all rushed in and did a huge attack together. Squall slashed at it while he waited till he could do Renzokuken. The Ifrit couldn't feel Squall but it felt the GF's all around it. It didn't seem to lose any health. Zell was doing combos and Irvine was waiting for a signal. Squall finally could do his move. He attacked. It didn't phase it at all. Squall was awestruck. Nothing they were doing effected it. Siren was still lying on the ground but she had rolled onto her back and was trying to use her power. When it wasn't working she just lay still waiting for her health to regain. Squall tried to devise a plan and find out about this thing while Cerberus was tossed against a tree. Shiva was in a tree breathing ice diamonds onto it. Leviathan was out and was trying to summon up water but there was none around. Water! That was it. But as he could tell there was no water. It was all forest until you hit territory that Squall was unfamiliar with. It might be a lake or the ocean. All towns were on separate islands. This was a huge island holding three major towns and also numerous sub-towns. Squall whistled for Leviathan. He called Siren and Ifrit in. The rest were to lead the big Ifrit on. Leviathan would smell water and go for it. Squall sheathed his weapon as Irvine silently put his gun in the holster. Squall did his best to wait for Leviathan to have a chance to get to him. When he did, Squall grabbed his head fins and swung himself up as he speeded by. The Ifrit followed Leviathan hastily. It lumbered along as Cerberus let Zell on his back and Diablos let Irvine on his back. They followed after Leviathan. They tormented the Ifrit whenever he slowed down. He followed them out of the forest. They were now on a big plain. Leviathan made a sharp right and Squall struggled to hold on to the slippery water dragon. Diablos flew ahead so he could relay a message if he saw water. He flew back to Squall and Irvine said he had seen the ocean and they would hit if they headed north. Leviathan smelled water somewhere else and wouldn't listen. He even kept forward when Squall pulled on his fins. It was turning out to become a bad situation. Cerberus and Shiva couldn't keep the Ifrit entertained much more. Squall got off Leviathan and just as Ifrit was going to step on him, Shiva picked him up and rushed him into the air. He called Leviathan in hastily and told Shiva to take him north. She turned and the party turned north. They herded the Ifrit that direction, further away from the trees. They kept heading north and Squall saw the edge of the ocean. So did Ifrit. He tried to turn away but Cerberus jumped on him. He bit him and the Ifrit grabbed for him. He missed and Cerberus ran ahead. The Ifrit broke out into a run and went on all fours. Cerberus knew he had to lose Zell somehow. He tried to buck him off. Zell, scared out of his wits and crying like a baby, held on. Cerberus did a roll in the ground and kept running, hoping Zell would be knocked off. He wasn't. He hit Cerberus in the head and told him to stop. He didn't and Diablos and Irvine were now even with Cerberus and Zell. Diablos tried to pull Zell off his buddy but Zell wouldn't let go. Shiva and Squall came out from behind and Squall ordered him to let go. Leviathan was summoned because they were close enough now. When Leviathan saw the water, he zoomed for it but he stopped. Zell was trying to get on him. Cerberus had to up his speed to catch the dragon. Zell scrambled onto his back and Cerberus turned in. Leviathan hit the water with amazing speed. Zell was freaking. He hadn't taken a breath and soon Leviathan surfaced and Zell could breathe. The Ifrit had stopped on the shore. He knew now what they had meant to do. He moved back from the water. Diablos pounded his head with his attack and Ifrit stepped into the water. He clawed at Diablos and knocked him down. Irvine was okay though. Diablos had caught himself before he hit the ground and soared up again. He set Irvine out on the rocky cliff and stood there hurling attacks at him. Shiva and Squall were pulling him towards the water. Leviathan was swimming and when Squall noticed, he screamed at him.
Squall: YOU STUPID DRAGON! CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE IN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION!! ZELL!!
Zell: WHAT! I DON'T CONTROL HIM MR. I AM GONNA HOG THE GFs!!
Diablos hurled a rock at Leviathan knocking him in the head. The mischievous little devil danced around and dared him to attack. Leviathan went into a watered fury. He attacked with a special attack only Rinoa had claimed she had seen. Water rushed over the giant Ifrit, making steam coming out in giant billows. The Ifrit shrank down to normal size and roared. Leviathan towered over him and hit it in the head with his tail fin. Ifrit grabbed his head and rubbed it. Then the Ifrit began to talk.
Ifrit: No more, no more!
Squall: Why did you hurt that girl? And how are you talking?
Ifrit: Because I felt like it. Do rogue GFs have to have a reason for everything? I can talk because all rogue GFs can talk.
Squall: That was my friend you hurt.
Ifrit: Oh, now I am scared. You really think I care?
Squall unsheathed his gunblade and held it at Ifrit's throat. Diablos came down and stood beside him. Shiva did to, arms folded and very cross. The Ifrit began to shake off its attitude when it knew it could be beat at any time right now. Without an owner, GFs don't regain health. They have to steal potions.
Ifrit: All right. Go ahead and capture me into a card.
Squall: I don't need you but perhaps my friend does. She's very nice and forgiving. If you're nice enough and apologize for hurting her, I am sure she'll ask you to stay, captured or not.
Ifrit: What choice have I got?
The rogue Ifrit talked to Cerberus as he had been summoned and Leviathan put away. Cerberus couldn't talk back but nodded and snickered. Zell talked to it too. The Ifrit found art amazingly beautiful. He knew a lot about it. Zell didn't but that was why he was a good listener on the subject. Everyone arrived back at the house at 9am. The rogue Ifrit had talked to Squall and had apologized about the whole trouble. He was quite nice in a creepy sort of way. All GFs returned, Squall walked up to the door and knocked. Saitek let him in, for Ifrit had stayed behind in the edge of the forest with Zell and Irvine. Squall went and told Flicker the news.
Flicker: I don't know what to say. Thank you for doing that I guess is all I can manage. Where is this Ifrit?
Squall: He wants you to come outside so he can apologize.
Flicker: Well let's go!
Squall let her lean on him, even though no foot was broken. She was just weak. They came outside and the GF apologized. Surprisingly, Flicker slapped him and told him that they would work on his manners. Ifrit was surprised. He was allowed freedom but he had to stay here. He had to help out and he promised never to hurt anyone again. Squall was standing by with his gunblade in case Ifrit pulled anything. Ah, the power of the gunblade, Squall thought. When Squall said they had to go, she gave them each a hug and he said that they would stop by on the way back. They left and Flicker and Saitek waved goodbye till they were down the road. Then Ifrit was set to work and Saitek set out chairs for him and Flicker. The boys walked back to the hotel and boarded chocobos. Squall had to ride one since Hashi wouldn't be well enough till they came back through. They left for the Palace at a brisk pace. In no time, Kiros and Ward were there greeting them. They were brought into the Palace and sent to the living room where someone was waiting for them.
*Balamb Stables (where Illasu was last left)*
Mizuiro finally appeared out from behind the feeding room. She was carrying as many coffee cans as she could hold. Each one was filled with different things like grain for Trojan, chocobo greens and watermelon slices. Illasu hurried over to help her.
Mizuiro: Thanks, I really could use a little help at feeding time most often.
Illasu: Well that's what I'm here about. I was wondering if I could work here and help out. I don't care if you pay me or whatever. I just want to be outside. I can't be inside too long or I'll go crazy.
Mizuiro: You're hired! I will pay you whatever Cid says he can. I'll talk to him about it right after feeding time is over with. Now, let's get started. Ring that bell there.
Illasu rang the bell and chocobos stampeded into their stalls. Feathers flew everywhere.
Mizuiro: Pull the lever!
Illasu: Which one?
Mizuiro: GREEN!
She pulled it and the doors that led outside shut on all the stalls. It was amazing.
Mizuiro: Now pull the purple one, then pull the blue one.
Illasu pulled the purple one. Little bowls came out above the heads of the chocobos and they moved around and out of the way. She pulled the blue one and water streamed down into the bowls. The chocobos squawked and dove into their water. This would be so much easier back home, Illasu thought.
Mizuiro: Now there are names on the cans. Just pour them in the bowls that don't have water.
Illasu filled Lily's bowl full of jasmine flowers, Honey's full of honey, and Miraka's full of watermelon. Mizuiro filled the other chocobos feeders. Illasu knew that Trojan wouldn't come in to a bell so she whistled loudly in the field and he came running up to her. He came into his stable and found fresh, cool water ready for him. Illasu fed him the grain and gave him a smuggled carrot. She took half for herself. She brushed him down with brushes she had found stuck in the shelves in the small area. Spraying him with fly repellent, she opened his door and left. Mizuiro met her at the door.
Mizuiro: Good job today.
Illasu: Thanks, but it was easy with all those levers.
Mizuiro: I had to result to that because I just couldn't water and feed them all on my own. It'll be nice to have some help. Let's go talk to Cid.
Illasu: I have to meet Selphie in the Library, sorry.
Mizuiro: It's ok, I'll come find you when I know something. See ya later. You're welcome to stay out here as long as you like.
Illasu headed for the Library when she remembered that she didn't know where it was. She saw a directory and located it herself. She wasn't any good at directions but the Garden was round so it couldn't be that hard. Well after an hour, she still couldn't find it so she sat down by the directory and asked someone. It was Seifer.
Seifer: What cha' doin'?
Illasu: I don't know where the Library is. I am not that good at directions either. I was hoping you could take me (shuddering at horrid teeth).
Seifer: Sure, why not.
Illasu got up and followed Seifer. She kept trying to think happy thoughts instead of about those teeth. Aside from the teeth, he was pretty cute and nice. Just as she was thinking this, Seifer turned around and smiled. Ok, maybe he's not cute, Illasu thought, but he's still nice. They arrived at the Library and Illasu spotted Selphie. She waved and Illasu went in. Selphie still had her bowl of Lucky Charms. There was no milk so they would keep. She was quietly munching and scanning for a book.
Selphie: What do you like to read?
Illasu: I don't suppose you'd have the MARS manga here would you?
Selphie: Oh that. Irvine likes manga so I am pretty sure we have this MARS.
Selphie took her over to the section and to Illasu's enjoyment they had all 15 volumes. Selphie stopped her from taking all 15 and said she could only have three.
Selphie: You can only take three at a time. Even I can't have 15 books! And I'm a See D!
Illasu: Oh, all right.
Illasu took 1-3 and walked up to the lady behind the counter. She punched them in and checked them out to VISITOR.
Illasu: I was wondering if I could purchase these. I can't seem to find them anywhere else.
Lady: Well, no one else has checked them out since we bought them...
Illasu: I'll pay 20 gil for each one!
Lady: Are you sure? That's twice what we paid!
Illasu: Well, then you can buy another set and more books.
Lady: Oh, I suppose so. Here lemme see them.
Illasu: Oh, can I possibly pay tomorrow and just check out for today?
Lady: Sure, I'll just make a note here...ok you're set. Selphie do you have any thing?
Selphie: Nope!! Thanks Ms. Rilde!
Ms. Rilde: You're welcome Selphie.
Selphie and Illasu went back to her room and played another round of Chocobo Racing. When the score was 25-11, Illasu got in her pack and brought out a different game. It said Inuyasha on it.
Illasu: Wanna play?
Selphie: What kind of game is it?
Illasu: Oh, it's fighting. So you wanna play?
Selphie nodded and went to get some pixy sticks from her stash. Illasu set the game up and Selphie came back with orange, green and blue for Illasu. Selphie had all the red and purple ones. Illasu was allergic to cherry and grape. The first time they had a pixy stick party, Selphie handed her a red one and without looking Illasu had taken a big swig. She swallowed and then choked. It made her throw up the rest of the night. Selphie remembered that every time she bought pixy sticks for her friends now. They each ate one and began the on screen brawl. Illasu was Sesshomaru and Selphie was Miroku. Selphie was a formidable opponent. The score was even after the first six fights.
*Rinoa*
Rinny had gone back to change and then slept until 12pm. Her alarm clock went off and not being a Monday person without Squall, hit it onto the floor and got up very grumpy. She managed to get up and go to Selphie's room to talk about the twins. Quistis was already there watching Selphie and Illasu battle it out. The score was 65-65. Selphie's thumbs were sore. Illasu's brain hurt thinking of what Selphie was gonna do next. It was a nail biter. They each had a sliver of health left with unlimited time. Not one of them moved. Quistis sat on the edge of Selphie's bed, just staring at the screen. Rinoa walked in and sat next to her. Suddenly, Illasu saw Selphie turn to say hello to Rinoa and she made her move. She did a punch move and had won! Selphie looked back and was mouth agape at the site. There was her perverted little monk lying on the ground defeated. Illasu's evil furry character stood snickering and pointing repeatedly on screen. Selphie turned the machine off and now said hello to Rinoa. Illasu was laughing her head off at Selphie when a pillow hit her.
Selphie: Shh, we're gonna talk about those twins and how we are gonna find out more.
Quistis: The boyfriends are really boyfriends. In class they got about 3 PDA slips each, except for Rin. We can trust him I think. I wanted to talk to him but I didn't have proof, only you do Selphie.
Selphie: You're right. Well, maybe Illasu here can talk to him for us. He wouldn't suspect that much.
Illasu: He is pretty cute. I guess I could try but what am I supposed to ask him?
Selphie: The main thing is if he knows anything about there assassination plans. So put that in somewhere but don't just say 'hey do you know of Kuro and Shiro plans to kill someone?' okay?
Illasu: Duh, ok so I'll try to casually bump into him and strike up conversation. Shouldn't be too hard except that I think he is really cute so that makes it hard! Selphie come on...
Selphie: You can do it!! Remember that time when you liked a certain someone and I pushed you right up to him? You overcame your fear and got to know him. Now you're best buds!
Illasu: Because he started the conversation!!
Selphie: True, well I can't help ya there.
Illasu: Is it a life or death matter of whether or not I talk to him?
All three FFVIII girls: YES!!!
Illasu: Okay, just wondering. Okay, here I go. I won't be back for a while. Selphie you know what I mean.
Selphie: Tee hee!! Good luck!!
Quistis: I didn't know Illasu thought Rin was cute!
Selphie: Uh huh, and Yugo too, but they're friends now. She's never talked to Rin before. He knows her but hasn't talked to her either. Hey maybe they'll hit it off and Illy will finally have a boy we can trust to be her boyfriend! Oh, I am so happy for her!! Tee hee!!
*Illasu*
She proceeded through the hallways. She was looking out for Rin and she did indeed bump into him, hard. She fell down and grabbed her butt. It felt like someone had stuck a knife in her right side. She stood up and muttered some words then looked up to see Rin's face written with worry all over it. She smiled.
Illasu: I'm fine. I wasn't looking where I was going.
Rin: You are sure?
Illasu: Yeah, hey you're the first guy who asked if I was really all right or not.
Rin: Well, I guess there are not many like me.
Illasu was beginning to not have to act.
Illasu: Hey, you're Ruka's bro, Rin aren't you?
Rin: Yes, you are her friend Illasu?
Illasu: Yeah, I was beginning to think you never noticed me.
Rin: You are hard to miss.
Illasu: I hope that was a compliment.
Rin: Yes it was.
Illasu: So you wanna hang around for awhile? Selphie's asleep from a morning chase with the lunch lady.
Rin: I am sorry. I cannot. Kuro was expecting me back.
Illasu: Kuro? Oh, your girlfriend, right.
Rin: But I really would love to take a walk with you sometime.
Illasu: Sure, I usually hang out at the stable.
Rin: I will try to come see you. So, I guess we are friends now?
Illasu: Yeah, that sounds fun. All right, well, see ya in a few hopefully.
Rin smiled and left her standing in the middle of the hallway, breathing slowly and heavily. She raced outside and around the barn then jumped up and ran around. She was so giddy!! Now she knew how Selphie felt skipping down the hall. She lay in the grass and let the sun warm her face. She soon drifted to sleep and was greeted 10 minutes later with a wet horsy kiss and the image of Rin standing over her. Trojan ran off and Rin helped her up. He had taken off his long, red jacket and was now wearing a bright red T-shirt with a logo and white baggy pants. He was so cute!! Illasu asked him if he wanted to sit down but he said he didn't have much time.
Rin: Kuro did not like it. She would rather have had me not come.
Illasu: Then why did you?
Rin: You are nice and Kuro is cold. I really do not like her that way. She would be a good friend possibly but Shiro says she is better when I get to know her. I do not want to have to wait. Kuro, if she likes me a good deal, should say what is bothering her.
Illasu: Well, she does seem hard on you. You aren't happy are you?
Rin: No, not at all. I wish I could hang out with you more. You seem fun like her sister.
Illasu: Well what about her sister?
Rin: I cannot. My brother likes her an awful lot.
Illasu: Well, then you can hang out with me in the stable. I'm gonna help Mizuiro out. You should come by and say hi once in a while.
Rin: I will and in return I might take you for a ride on my bike, if you want.
Illasu: What kind?
Rin: Black Kawasaki, I do not ride with helmets unfortunately.
Illasu: So, I ride four-wheelers all the time without helmets but I go semi-slow. Course, I peel out in the gravel...
Rin: I really like you Illasu. You can share things and have fun.
Illasu: Call me Illy.
Rin: See what I mean? That is what I like about you. Kuro just does not laugh.
Illasu: How can a person not laugh?
Rin: I am not sure.
Illasu: Was there anything in her apartment that made you suspicious?
Rin: A bunch of photos but I did not look at them in depth.
Illasu: Maybe you should. If she won't share you'll just have to find out for yourself.
Rin: Speaking of which...
Illasu looked to where Rin was staring. There stood Kuro, looking straight at them. She slowly came down the field to where they were. Rin started walking to meet her like an obeying pup. Illasu stopped him and smiled a short little smile. Rin's hair shimmered in the light. Kuro came up to Rin and looked at Illasu. There was no expression.
Kuro: Rin, I thought you'd be back.
Rin: I was just talking to my friend.
Kuro: Ah yes, one of you're sisters friends no doubt. How do you do?
Illasu: Very fine, you?
Kuro: Not so good, c'mon Rin. Lunch is being served.
Rin: Coming, I am sorry but I must go. I will see you again. I promise you.
Illasu: Meet me in the barn at midnight then.
Rin: I will. Until then...Illy. Hmmh...
Illasu smiled at him and lay in the grass some more. Well, I did it, she thought, I asked him. Selphie would be proud. Illasu got up and ran after Trojan. She got him and took him to his stable. She tacked him up and took him to the round pen to ride. She would just spend the rest of the day outside. Nothing could go wrong now, she thought. And nothing did.
*Rin and Kuro walking back*
Kuro: Why did you want to talk to her so bad?
Rin: She is a friend. I saw no harm.
Kuro: It does more harm than you know. Anyway the Garden Festival is next Friday. Do you want to go with Shiro and me?
Rin: I suppose. Can I ask you something?
Kuro: Sure.
Rin: Why are you so mean towards me?
Kuro: I am just like that. I really can never get close to people. It's just that way. I'm sorry. I saw you and I thought you were cute and someone I might actually love eventually. But that proved wrong. I like you but I think that is all it will ever be unfortunately.
Rin stopped walking and Kuro didn't give him a second glance just a harsh 'c'mon'. A single tear fell down Rin's cheek and he tried to turn away from following Kuro. But somehow he couldn't, so he slowly followed her. He looked back to see Illasu running around in a pen. To him, she was a beautiful rider. To most others she was probably a sloppy one. She was sometimes never even holding the reins and had her arms in the air and her head thrown back like she was flying. It must have felt beautiful. Rin wanted to be up there flying with her. But he had to follow Kuro. Kuro and Rin walked in to the Cafeteria and sat next to Shiro and Yugo. Shiro could tell something was wrong and she offered the seat next to her to Rin instead of Kuro. Kuro glared at her sister and she stuck her tongue out at her. Yugo knew something was wrong too. He scarfed his food and took his bro aside in the Library for a little bit.
Yugo: What's up?
Rin: I am not very happy. Kuro makes me feel sad and like a shadow, barely noticing me.
Yugo: So I've noticed. Shiro tells me she's a hardball. She wants you to be happy so how can we help?
Rin: I am not sure. When I tried to go back to talk with my friend I could not leave Kuro. For some unknown reason I cannot leave her.
Yugo: Strange, but I don't know how we can help. Have you tried to tell her?
Rin: Yes, on the way up here. She was very doubtful she could love me and said this to me. It hurt tremendously yet I felt relieved in a way. She was honest for the first time with me.
Yugo: You're weird man. All I can say is if she told you she can't love you, then you're free to choose.
Rin: You think so?
Yugo: Yes, I do. Shiro told me you had a new friend. She overheard you asking Kuro to go talk to her. That wasn't very good. You shouldn't have to ask.
Rin: She made me. I cannot get her out of my head. She is like a black spider creeping on the inside of my head just to remind me she is there.
Yugo: Man, stand up to her! You have never had this problem before!
Rin: She is the stronger one. I had to look away the second time. The first time I saw humility then it was gone as soon as she knew she could beat me. Now she controls me.
Yugo: Then go beat her sorry butt!
Rin: It is not physical strength. It is mental strength. There is a fighter's connection mentally. I just want her to leave me alone.
Yugo: I'll tell her off bro. I don't want you to get down because of her. I'll be right back.
Yugo did return soon with an answer from Kuro about Rin.
Yugo: Well, she doesn't want to harm you any more. She said she saw a fighting beast inside of you and she never could beat you without cheating. Feel better?
Rin: A little, yes. Thanks bro.
Yugo: Hey we're brothers till the end right?
Rin: Always, now if you will excuse me I think I have an apology to be made.
Yugo: To whom?
Rin: Illy, of course.
Rin ran back outside and his brother chuckled to himself. Rin was love struck. It was so funny to see his older (by an hour) bro in love and so in it. He ran back to the cafeteria and told Shiro the good news. Kuro had left to go work on their mission. Rin came into the barn just as Illy was leading Trojan back inside from exercising. She stopped and Rin ran at her and picked her up, whirling her around. He was laughing, which made her laugh too. When he set her down, he explained to her the great news. Illy was a little surprised it was good news.
Illasu: I thought break-ups were bad.
Rin: Oh, this is far from bad. It is wonderful! Now I can talk to you whenever you want too.
Illasu: Oh, I'll always want to talk to you Rin. Where are you gonna sleep now that Kuro's not your girlfriend?
Rin: I am not sure but I would sleep in the Library if I had too. I am at ease there just as I am now.
Illasu: I'll talk to Selphie about it. She might know of an empty room somewhere. Wanna help me put the saddles up and brush Trojan?
Rin: I would be delighted. Of course, I have never done it before so you will have to show me.
Illasu: It's easy. C'mon!
Illasu ran down to the small stable and slid the door open. Rin ran to catch up and Illasu led Trojan into the room. Rin had no trouble taking the heavy saddle off and heaving it onto the saddle horse. He did have some difficulty with getting the bit out of Trojan's mouth though. Finally, he was ready to be put up for the night. It was already 4 pm and they only had a little sun left. So Illasu ran out into the field and tumbled into the long grass. She crouched down on her stomach and watched the gate. When Rin came back from putting the saddle and bridle up, he found she was not there. The gate was unlocked so she had not gone back to the school. He looked around for her in the barn and came back to Trojan's stable. He opened the gate and went into the field. Illasu slowly started army crawling towards him. Whenever his eyes were over her looking for her, she stopped moving. When he moved them, she moved closer. When she was close she crawled around behind him slowly and silently. Then she jumped on him. She actually tackled him and down he went. When Illasu moved her hair out of her face and looked, Rin was laughing so hard he was crying. Illasu was laughing too and seeing him laugh like that made her laugh even more. Rin crawled over in the long grass and lay down beside her. Still laughing, they laid there in the warm sunlight. Illasu was becoming tired having not slept that morning and soon found she was cuddled up next to Rin. She was soon asleep and Rin, having noticed this, decided it was time to call it a day. He picked her up and carried her through to the barn. He made sure to lock the gate behind him. He carried her to Selphie's room. When Selphie answered, she invited him in. Rin laid her in the guest bed Selphie had set up for Illasu. He tucked her in and left, closing the door silently.
Rin: Thanks Selphie, for letting me bring her in. She was really tired. We played in the field out behind the barn for awhile, running and hiding.
Selphie: Rin, tell us what happened with you and Kuro. We noticed she's been cooped up in her room.
Rin: I do not think I should.
Selphie: Ok, well do you need a place to stay?
Rin: Yes actually. Illasu was going to talk to you but I guess you figured it out.
Selphie: The room next door on the left is empty. You can stay there if you want.
Rin: I am truly grateful to you Selphie. Thank you. Good night.
Selphie: Good night.
Selphie let her friends out too and muttered 'nice guy, Rin is'. She herself was tired and heaped herself into her own bed. Rin, next door, sat staring at the ceiling, happy to be away. He smiled as he drifted off to sleep.
***************************************************************************************
Sorry Kuro, but you're just too evil too have such a sweet guy!! Well, I hope you like this one. It got finished the next day after 11. I haven't been to bed all night. It's 8:06am and I just started this chapter this morning. So I am heading to bed now. Please R&R!!
