Right, finally bothering to add another chapter here, only took me a few
months to do it, sorry, but my other fic is a major project and I usually
spend all my writing time on that one.
Fujin tossed and turned in her sleep. The same uneasy dream playing itself out in her head. She was in an alley somewhere, she didn't know where, the alley was devoid of defining features. A shadowy figure loomed over her, Its fist raised in anger. She was struck about the face, and in her dream state she felt the blow land, felt the blood drip down her chin, felt every act of cruelty that this figure inflicted upon her. She turned to run. Normally this was when she would see the back of the alley, blocking her in, denying her escape. This time was different, there was a person there. Squall was smiling down at her, he extended one hand and helped her to her feet. The figure was gone and she was safe in the arms of Squall Leonhart.
A shrill beeping filled the air and roused Fujin from her slumber. The one time she wished to remain asleep and she had to get up. She dressed as usual, blue shirt, black pants, and of course her patch. Unlike all other mornings, this morning she didn't bother to look in the mirror. She decided that for once she would quite like to have breakfast, a meal that she skipped most days.
As she queued at the cafeteria she remembered why she rarely had breakfast. The large numbers of people around her were making her feel a little claustrophobic. But the time in line passed quickly and she was soon at the front. She ordered a simple breakfast of soft boiled eggs and toast soldiers. As she walked back she heard a pained voice from behind her.
"Whaddya mean you don't do hotdogs for breakfast anymore?!?"
"Sorry Zell, but look on the bright side, we'll have more than we normally do at lunch."
"Aww man, I wanted hotdogs now." Zell walked dejectedly away with a bowl of cereal, mourning the lost hotdog opportunity. He looked up and noticed Fujin sitting at a table on her own.
Oh no, Fujin thought, please don't let him come over here, I just wanted breakfast, I don't want to have to deal with this loud idiot.
"Heya Fujin, wassup?" Zell sat down opposite her.
"NOTHING"
"Hmm? Really? Well I heard an interesting rumour yesterday, wanna hear it?"
"NO"
"Ya sure? Its about someone we know." Zell winked at her Fujin stiffened in her chair, word hadn't got round that fast had it? It was only a training session, how could people start rumors about that?
"WHO?" She asked, almost dreading the answer
"You really wanna hear?"
"AFFIRMATIVE"
"Alright then, word round the garden is" Fujin drew a deep breath "Doctor Kadowaki has forced Raijin to go on a diet, says he's getting too fat.
Fujin exhaled in a sigh of relief, then made a mental note to tease Raijin later. Unfortunately Zell didn't stop talking there.
"So what exactly is it between you and Squall?"
"WHAT?"
"Oh its just I saw you guys leaving the training room together, I just wondered what you were doing in there."
"TRAINING, STUPID"
"Tch, fine, I'll ask squall about it, he might be more talkative."
"DOUBTFUL"
"Whoa I thought the only person you made fun of was Raijin" Zell leaned forwards as if examining Fujins face "Now I know there is something between you and Squall, so spill it will ya."
Fujin stood up and kicked Zell sharply in the shin
"FOOL" She walked away as fast as she could, leaving her breakfast unfinished.
Zell rubbed his leg, damn Fujin kicked hard for such a little person, He made a promise that he would never again laugh at Raijin for being afraid of her.
Okay, short chapter I know, but hey I can't even remember why I'm writing this, probably something to do with the late hours, that and I'm replaying FF8.
