Chapter 6













Squall sprang up from his chair to face Elsee. "What, what did you find?!?!" you could hear the anticipation on his voice.

"We...." Elsee stopped short and stood at attention. She saluted Squall. She always had a hard time remember that just because he was her parent's friend didn't mean she didn't have to salute anymore.

"Sorry sir,"

"At ease, now please continue what you were saying"

"We...as in Me, Kelgin, and Xade were over by the second story emergency exit looking for any clues and we found this."

Elsee handed Squall a silver necklace which had a lion charm on it made of pure silver with ruby eyes and wings. Squall looked at it for a while and realized that it was Rinii's necklace which he and Rinoa gave her when she was born. On the back of the lion it read: Our Little Lion Angel.

Squall gripped it tightly and said

"This doesn't help us at all, it only proves that SHE WAS kidnapped. Try and find something that leads TO the kidnapper!"

"Yes, Sir."

Elsee looked a little hurt, but she only saluted, turned around and left.

As the door closed Irvine looked at Squall and said.

"Man, she was only trying to help Squall, I know you miss Rinii but you can't take it out on her." "Yeah Squall!" Selphie piped in

Squall let out a breath "I know I know, im sorry. I'm just so worried about Rinii. I don't know what im going to do"

Everyone stared at Squall, never before have they heard Squall confide in them like that. He never told anyone what was wrong except for Rinoa. They then knew that Squall was changing and for the better. Now they really wanted to help their long time friend.

Rinoa smiled at him for the first time in days and wrapped her arms around him.

Quistis looked at Squall and Rinoa together and smiled saying. "Don't worry something will turn up, I have a feeling by tomorrow she will be safe and sound in your arms."

"Perfect!" Xu yelled. "Squall this HAS to work. How about instead of Rinoa we send you. We dress you up to look like Rinoa, tie you up and everything. Then when they go to switch you and Rinii, you reveal yourself and kick their asses. Selphie and I will go get Rinii out of there and Irvine and Zell can help you. We will need Rinoa and Quistis for something too, but at the moment im not sure what.

Squall who seemed to like the idea wasn't too keen on being dressed up like a women. But at the moment he was prepared to do anything to get his daughter back.

"Alright begin planning everything." Xu smiled "Alright people you heard him let's get going!"

"Booyaka" Yelled Selphie "Alrighty" Said Irvine "Yee-Ahh" Yelled Zell as he punched the air a couple of times.

Squall just put his hand to his forehead "Ahh, what am I getting myself into?"

Leeron, who seemed quiet for the past ten minutes looked to his SeeDs and whispered something to them. They saluted and walked out of the room. He followed soon after along with Quistis.

*That was odd.* thought Rinoa as she watched them walk out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~









Rinii walked back into the room she was just in. It was almost morning so she looked through the closet. Oddly there were clothes for a teenage girl in there. She picked out a pair of low rise jeans and a long sleeved light blue turtle neck. They fitted her perfectly.

She then walked over to the door and opened it. She was then in a long hallway with many doors. She walked down it looking at the pictures.There was one that caught her attention it had an odd-looking woman with red hair in it and an infant in her arms which looked only a year or two old..

Rinii walked closer to the picture and stared at it. *This woman looks awfully familiar.*

She was about to touch the painting when she heard Sirrin yell.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?"

She gasped and began to run. She could hear his heavy footsteps behind her. She turned around to see him running fast, too fast. She turned back and began to run even faster. She was close to the end of the hallway and there was a door there, if she could make it in there she would be safe.

Unfortunately Sirrin jumped forward and tackled her. She fell hard onto the ground and turned over to see Sirrin on top of her. He was breathing heavy and so was she.

"Your a big pain in the ass you know that?"

"And your just a JOY to hang around!" She yelled at him.

Sirrin stared down at her looking into her eyes. Rinii was locked onto his gaze. His green eyes were beautiful. Sirrin then slowly leaned towards her. She could feel his breath on her face. Her breathing quickened even more. She closed her eyes. They were centimeters apart when a door opened up.

Sirrin quickly jumped off of Rinii. Seifer saw Sirrin standing quickly and Rinii on the ground.

"WHAT?!?" he was dumbfounded

"It's not what you think Dad, I had to stop her from getting into your office. And if you think I was trying to do anything else with her your crazy. What makes you think I'd like that thing, come on I have more class than that."

Seifer glared at his son for a moment and then looked to Rinii who was still on the ground with a shocked expression on her face. He then walked over to Rinii pulled her up by the arm and slammed her into the nearest wall.

Rinii, getting the wind knocked out of her closed her eyes. Sirrin turned away.

"Your quickly getting on my "To Kill Off List" Leonhart. Don't ever go ANYWHERE in this house, and I mean it. Next time if I see you out I wont even hesitate to pull the trigger on my Hyperion."

She growled and spit in his face. He cussed and grabbed his Hyperion. He stopped it just inches from her throat.

"Sirrn come here."

*Oh shit* He thought

Seifer turned around and handed Sirrin his Hyperion. "To prove to me you have no feelings what so ever for her. Shoot her."

"Whoa?! Dad, your kidding me right?" "Does IT LOOK LIKE IM KIDDING?" Sirrin stood there for a moment shaking. He then lifted the Hyperion and faced the trigger part of it toward Rinii. Seifer stood off to the side of his son.

Rinii stared at Sirrin. Her eyes pleading with him.

Sirrin then put his finger to the trigger and aimed. He then quickly spun around and whacked Seifer on the back of the head with the flat of the blade. Seifer fell to the ground unconscience.

Sirrin then ran over to Rinii and grabbed her arm. He then ran to his room the Hyperion still in hand. He pulled her in and grabbed a bag that he had under his bad. Strangely enough Rinii noticed it was already filled with items. He then pulled her to the window and pushed her out of it. Casting float on her he watched her float to the ground. He did the same to himself.

After landing he grabbed her by the arm and ran into the woods with her. He stopped quickly and turned around. Rinii watched him as he stared at their footprints in the ground. They then began to disappear. Rinii looked at him stunned, but didn't have enough time to ponder over it because Sirrin began pulling her again.
