A/N: I own nothing
Chapter 8: Scared
Christina came down stairs about a half hour later. She walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter:
Dear Chris,
Your father and brother have gone to take Cornelius back to the Ministry. Lena Johnny and I have gone to Balamb to get some of their things and to pick up some supplies. The portal is in the library, down here.
Have fun,
Love Mum
PS: we need to talk about Seifer.
"I'm going to kill Lena!" she said.
Christina went to the library and walked up to the fireplace. 'Shit!' she said as she realized that she didn't know the password. She thought that maybe she could use her old password. So she grabbed some gold dust and through it into the fire place. She said: "Lléveme el hogar, un lugar donde está la paz, donde está mi amor"(*Take me home, to a place where peace is, where my love is*). Then it opened. This portal was different it was like a tare between two worlds. You walked through, you didn't get sucked up by a chimney. Christina walked through and found herself in the Training Centre. With a very light breeze the portal shut. Christina then remembered that she didn't have her wand or her staff with her. Christina was skilled with a sword and a gun, but she liked her staff that Zell made for her as a present on her 14th birthday.
The history behind Zell and Christina: Her, Lena, Johnny and Zell were in the same classes as kids so they were good friends, but kinda grew apart when Christina, Lena and Johnny started going to Glenforest. Christina and Zell were the only ones that had the same period lunch so they hung out in the cafeteria together. Zell knew how much she wanted to specialize in a specific weapon, but her dad never bothered to take her out to get one, so she always used Johnny's, 2 9mm guns. So Zell went out and got a staff made especially for her. She, from time to time had it remodelled.
End of history lesson
The model that she had now can unscrew into Nunchakus. Fortunately she didn't need them, she got out of the Training Centre with out seeing a single monster, which was good 'cause she really didn't feel like fighting a dress and heals. She looked at her watch
"1:28pm. Good he should still be in his room," she said the headed for the dormitories. She stopped in front of 'Head of Disciplinary Committee # 1313'. She looked around to see if anyone was around. First to her left, then right. Seeing no one she bent down and picked up one of the floor tiles and pulled out a key. She unlocked the door in front of her and walked in.
She sighed at the sight of his room, a mess. Like any other boy's room.
"Sleeping like a baby," she said smiling. She walked over to his desk to put the key down. As she was over there she noticed a red velvet box. Christina being, Christina, she picked it up, was about to open it -
"Morning," she heard the sheets from the bed say. She quickly placed the box back on the table.
"More like afternoon," she said smiling at him.
"What are you doing," Seifer said sitting up in bed, then he noticed the box was out, and prayed that she hadn't seen it.
"Looking at the picture of you and me, and wondering why you have MY student ID card." she said walking towards him then sat down beside him on his bed.
"You left it here last week" he said placing his arm around her shoulders.
"Wow," she said staring at his torso.
"What?" he asked half a sleep.
"I've never seen you with out your shirt off before. I like!" she said
"Well you know," he started playing with her hair. Christina looked at him is disbelief.
"Seifer," she said sternly. "Back off!"
"Yea, yea, yea. I know you don't believe in pre-marital sex," he said then layed back down on his bed. Christina got up, and Seifer sat up again.
"C'mon, get dressed," she said walking to his closet. Seifer, who wasn't totally awake before, noticed what his girlfriend was wearing. A red dress that fit her perfectly, and showed her curves enough to leave the mind wondering. The dress tied up at the back in a bow. On the right side of the dress was a slit, that had a black dragon going up hem of right side of the slit. She had her hair up, with a tint of make-up.
"Okay, where are we going?" he said staring.
"Shopping," she said getting a pair of socks out of his drawer.
"No, seriously, where are we going?" "Shopping,"
"Like that? Chris you look like a princess," he said as though she didn't realize.
"Seifer it's just a dress, and plus," she said. "I haven't warn it since I tried it on at the store. And I figured that this is the best day to wear it."
"How do you figure?"he said sounding and looking like a lost little boy. Christina turned around and threw him is cloths one at a time.
"Because, we're going to Deling City, right? And they're having a party because of the new President," She started.
"Rinoa's dad, yea so what does this have ta do with you?" Seifer interrupted.
"Cause you know that my mom and PRESIDENT Caraway, were good friends once upon a time, and he asked my mom to go but she can't...so she said that I would represent the 'Wizarding world'. And you're coming too." she said.
"I don't think - "
"YOU'RE COMING," she said. "Now get dressed," Seifer got dressed and stood up. Christina walked over to him and grabbed his arm.
"Lets go," she said trying to pull him out of his room. He didn't move. She turned to face him.
"What?"
"C'mere," he said pulling her towards him. She looked up at him. She was a good half a foot shorter then him. He bent down and kissed her. "I didn't get my kiss today. And you're dress is missing something - " he turned to his night table and picked up his chain. He turned to Christina and put it around her neck.
"There," he said. "Absolutely beautiful."
"You sure have changed, Seifer," She said looking into his eyes.
"Yeah, because of you," he was just about to kiss her again when -
"Yo Seifer! Headmaster Cid wants 'ta see ya," yelled Raijin through the door. Seifer rolled his eyes and let go of Christina."Seifer?!" Raijin yelled again.
"Yea, I heard you," Seifer yelled back. They both walked out of the room to meet Raijin.
"Did I interrupt something?" he asked looking down. Seifer got a smile on his face.
'If I say yes Chris'll hit me....but if I say know Raijin, would think less of me...hmm" Seifer thought.
"No Raijin you didn't interrupt anything," Christina said slapping Seifer chest with the back of her hand. 'I didn't say anything and I still got hit?' Seifer thought and shook his head.
"Where's Cid?" he asked his friend.
"His office," he said then Christina and Seifer started walking towards the elevator. "Yo I'm sorry if I DID interrupt anything!" Raijin called after them. On their way to the elevator there was an announcement over the P.A.
"Would Christina King report to the Headmasters office in 15 minutes. I repeat, would Christina King report to the Headmasters office in 15 minutes."
"Why not kill 2 birds with one stone?" Seifer asked. Christina nodded. They got into the elevator and proceeded to the 3rd floor. The 3rd floor is where Headmaster Cid's office is. It was back to normal, since Garden wasn't mobile anymore. It was back on Balamb Island where it belonged. They both walked in and saw Cid at his desk, and Quistis and Eda where on opposite sides of him.
"Seifer," Cid said standing up. "I didn't know you'd come with Christina. Nice to see you,"
"Sir," Christina said bowing her head in respect.
"Well since you're both here I might as well tell you together,"
'That was the general idea," Seifer thought.
"Seifer, this new is particularly important to you. You will be given the opportunity to take the SeeD Exam. If you fail this one you will no longer be able to stay here in Garden," Cid said looking very serious. "As for you Miss King, for the field exam you will be squad leader. The rest of you team will be composed of Seifer, Michael, and Andrew. Miss King, is there a problem?"
Christina looked as though she has seen a ghost. But she had a flash back to her dream...but then she realized that it was 3 people falling and Seifer wasn't one of them.
"Christina?" she heard a voice that sounded like Eda's.
"Yo Chris," Seifer's voice broke her thoughts and brought her back to reality.
"Yea, I'm with you. Squad leader, Me Seifer, Michael, and Andrew," she said showing then that she was listening.
"Yes," Quistis said. "Your SeeD exam will be in October."
"What?! Why tell us now if it is going to be so late?" Seifer asked
"Well I thought that it would be best to tell you, Christina, now so you can balance your school work at Hogwarts. But tell you Seifer now will give you time to control your temper." Eda said.
"Yea whatever," Seifer said then turned to leave.
"Seifer. I need to talk to you, stay behind please?" Eda called after him.
"About what?" he asked still looking at the door.
Everyone left the office, while Eda and Seifer remained.
"Seifer, I must ask you something," Eda asked concerned.
"What," He said slightly annoyed.
"Please sit," she pointed to a chair.
"I'll stand," he turned around.
"Very well. It's about Christina, have you noticed anything strange about her behavior lately?"
"What?" he said looking confused. "No I barely know the girl,"
"Seifer, I know you two are dating. I just want you to be careful around her. Someone of her stature can be very unpredictable. Just protect her AND yourself." Eda turned and left.
"That makes no sense!" Seifer yelled after her. He walked to the elevator.
'Is she hiding something?' he wondered. He got to the first floor and didn't even notice Christina was waiting for him. He walked passed her looking pissed.
"Hey! What happened?" she said catching up to him in front of the Directory. He stopped and turned to her, grabbed her by the shoulders, his blue-green eyes stared into her dark brown, almost black eyes.
"Tell me," he started. "Are you hiding ANYTHING from me? Anything at all? You ware contacts, you were adopted, I don't care how small. A hidden power?"
"Seifer," she said concerned.
"Chris. Tell me!" he said gripping her shoulders tighter.
"Seifer you're hurting me," she said trying to back away.
"TELL ME!" his voice rose and Christina's eyes started to tear up. It's not like she hasn't seen him like this before, because she has. Just never once since they've been going out, has he ever hurt her, in anyway. This was the first time that Christina was scared of him.
Seifer realizing what he was doing let go of her and pulled her into his chest. He didn't give a damn who was watching.
"I'm sorry, Chris. I didn't mean to. I was just afraid that I'd lose you," he whispered in to her ear.
"Seifer," she sobbed. "I thought t-that you were..." her voice trailed off.
"Don't think that. I'd never...never again will I throw myself at a sorceress," he let go of her, then wiped the tears from her eyes. He looked around and saw Squall, Rinoa, Zell, Irvine, a bunch of other students, and Headmaster Cid, staring at them.
"What are you all looking at?" he yelled, Christina let out a small giggle. Then they left for the parking lot.
"Something's never change," Squall said putting his head in his hand.
"I think they look cute together," Rinoa said.
"Man why is it always the bad-ass ones that get the hot chicks?" Irvine said watching Christina's ass fade from view.
"Eh hem," said a voice behind him. He turned around.
"Sefie!" then *wham!*
"Pig," she said then walked away leaving Irvine on the ground rubbing his head.
