The Kiss 2:Repercussions

Seifer got out of the shower and looked at his body in the mirror. He stuck his chest out and smiled. Very manly, he thought. His hand reached out for his deodorant which was sitting amongst piles of other bathroom goodies. He was about to spray himself with it until he decided to look at it. The label very clearly stated that it was 'Citrus Fresh'. He scowled at it and threw it straight into the bin.

"What sort of a man wants to go around smelling citrus fresh?" he said to himself in a loud booming voice. "Not me, from now on I'm going to smell like a man should..... errrmmm..... HA HA HA!"

After getting dressed he decided to take a stroll down the corridor and say good morning to all the ladies. Along his travels he met up with his ex-instructor Quistis and all-round screwball Selphie.

"Good morning ladies. HA HA HA!" he bellowed.

"Are you feeling OK Seifer?" Quistis asked as pleasantly as she could.

"Never better. HA HA HA!"

"Why are you laughing like that?"

"Like what?" Seifer asked, hoping that they didn't think he wasn't sounding like a complete and utter idiot. "This is a manly laugh. HA HA HA!"

"Pee-yew! What is that smell?" Selphie asked loudly, with her fingers pinching her nose. "Have you had a wash today?"

"This is a manly smell. HA HA HA!"

"Oh enough with the ha ha ha's Seifer!" Quistis yelled with annoyance.

Seifer quickly shut his mouth. His laughter and loud voice had only driven the two away. Well, maybe it was the smell more than it was his boisterousness. But even so he really hoped that it wouldn't have that sort of effect on all the women in Garden.

Quistis and Selphie had quickly hurried away without him noticing. He was too busy thinking about how he could definitely attract members of the opposite sex. They on the other hand had business to attend to. Or at least they were going to check up on Irvine. The poor guy had been stuck in his dorm all weekend but no one wanted to question why. Selphie seemed to be getting more insane by the minute and now had the habit of scaring people without intending to.

Quistis had insisted that she see to Irvine as it didn't really seem sanitary to keep him in there for so long. She had wanted Dr Kadowaki to come along too but Selphie told her that there was no need to bring the doctor along. After all, what if someone really needed medical assistance but there was no one to help them because she was too busy looking at her boyfriend? Ha, boyfriend. That made Quistis laugh. He was more like an unhealthy obsession and if he had any sense then he would get out of that relationship as soon as possible.

"Here we are!" Selphie yelled happily. "Knock knock! Anybody home?"

From inside there were a few muffled noises and the occasional gagging sound but no one came to open the door like Quistis had hoped. Instead Selphie had to tap in the code and watch as the door slid open. She skipped in merrily whilst Quistis took a step back as she looked at the sight in front of her.

"Mmmm.....hmmmahhh!"

Somehow Selphie had managed to hang Irvine from the ceiling by his feet. It was a wonder that the ceiling hadn't caved in though it did show signs of cracking. He looked as though he was in a cocoon. She had used bandages and toilet paper to wrap him up so that he wouldn't get away and to gag him she had used the belt from a dressing gown. It was like something out of one of those old horror films. Selphie was the mad scientist and Irvine was her monster in the making.

Irvine was twisting and turning vigorously, trying to get Quistis' attention so that she would take him down. She would have done if Selphie hadn't been in the room with her as she wasn't sure what the deranged loon would do.

"Don't you think this is the perfect punishment?" Selphie laughed.

"Errrmm...don't you think you should let him down?" Quistis asked.

"What? No way! If I let him down then he'll only go and harass more women. The only way he can be faithful is if I leave him up here."

Irvine began to cry and Selphie patted him on the back. Or at least it looked like it was his back. You couldn't be sure with the amount of material which had been wrapped around him.

Quistis took a couple of steps back and banged on the door to make it open. Selphie slowly walked towards her so she hit it harder and harder until....

SHOOM

Phew. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the door slide back into place. Whilst she would agree that Irvine was nothing but a womaniser he didn't deserve that. No one did.

Author's Note: For those of you who read the original then don't worry, the 'kiss' will come into the story in the next few chapters or so. For those who didn't read the original then it might help if you did ^_^ I probably shouldn't have made Selphie so mad but no one with at least a bit of sanity would have used that as a punishment. Also, the idea for Seifer's laugh came from the Discworld novel Hogfather where Death says HO.HO.HO. at the end of every line to make himself more jolly =P Well review please! And if you have any ideas then who knows, I may even use them.
