Lose You Tonight

Don't run away, I never wanted to hurt you. Please stay, and I'll learn to love you right.

HIM, Lose You Tonight

Garden loomed over him, the lights twinkling in the dark. He grinned to himself. 'No doubt Seifer will be around, maybe I should pay a visit on other old friends first.' He thought to himself.

He knew there wouldn't be too much trouble getting in now the Garden Faculty busy-bodies were no longer there. He scaled one of the outer metal walls, metal claws enabling him to grip the smooth slippery surface.

He reached the rounded corner of the top of the wall, his arms aching and looked into the lush green forest of the Training Centre. He swung his leg over the side and lay at the top rubbing his sore arms.

When the tiredness left his arms, Raijin leapt to the nearest tree and slid down as slowly and quietly as he could, merging in with the dark shadows of the lower foliage and made sure his staff was prepared in case he came across a T-rexaur.

A flicker of movement caught his eye and he spotted a figure in blue, her black hair flowing across he shoulders as she walked to the rendezvous point. Raijin followed her stealthily, treading gently through the undergrowth and slipped through the door behind her.

She was leant against the balcony gazing out towards Balamb unaware of his presence.

'Hey Rinoa.' He said softly, making her spin round in surprise and her eyes widened in shock as she recognised him.

'R-R-Raijin?' she stammered.

'Long time huh? I see you got in with Squall then?' he said with a twisted friendly smile.

Rinoa blushed hotly 'What are you doing here?' she demanded weakly.

'Thought I'd pay old friends a visit.' He replied moving closer to her. Rinoa edged away but her back was already to the balcony.

Raijin grinned as he could make out the shape of her body through the thin blue material of her dress.

'Now maybe I should get a taste of what Seifer was always talking about.' He leered lunging at her, one hand clamping her jaw as the other pressed her back hard.

Rinoa's screams were smothered by his hands, her arms pinned back to the balcony preventing her struggles. Raijin smiled as she squirmed against him. 'That's it, turn me on.' He leered tearing the material at the front of her dress. Rinoa writhed and squealed as his hand violated her, squeezing and probing her roughly, the pain weakening her.

Raijin turned his head at the sound of footsteps and a sharp intake of breath.

'Well, well if it isn't Squall.' He said to the figure.

'Raijin' Squall replied his voice trembling in rage and shock as he pulled Lionheart from its holster.

Raijin grinned turning slowly and deliberately to face Squall, and with a twist of his arm, broke Rinoa's neck letting her drop to the floor.

'Bastard!!' Squall snarled and charged at Raijin, slicing at him. Raijin pulled out his staff parrying the blows easily and then hit Squall in the side and then the head with a quick combination.

Dazed, Squall dropped to his knees. 'When did Raijin get so good?' he thought incredulously.

'So long Squall.' Raijin sneered and flipped over the balcony, disappearing.

Squall dashed to the balcony but couldn't see him. Then his eyes fell on the lifeless form of Rinoa. He scooped her up, tears welling in his eyes as he carried her through the Training Centre.

Quistis spotted him at the entrance. 'Squall. what happened?' she asked seeing Rinoa in his arms.

'Get me Seifer.' He told her simply.
