Chapter 2: The Halls of Alexandria Castle
Zidane marched down the hallway toward the inevitable.
He remembered how he once had run madly down these very halls to rescue Dagger from the wrath of the former Queen. He also recalled having to avoid the bodacious blonde's who made up the Alexandrian Army, but now the very same guards saluted to him. Zidane inwardly laughed at how their breasts jiggled when they did so. He had an involved discussion in his own mind about their skimpy uniforms when in the distance he heard an all too familiar rusty clanking noise that warned Zidane of...
"Good ol' Rusty, you still haven't gotten that damned armor cleaned?" Zidane struck Steiner on the shoulder giving the jaded warrior a good reason to jump in surprise.
"Oh...It's just the little thief who stole the Pri...I mean The Queen's heart" Steiner did his best to remain the stone-faced leader of the Pluto Knights, but was failing.
Zidane downcast his eyes. He didn't need to be reminded of that right now. He mentally beat himself up for the mistake of showing up today. Perhaps he shouldn't have come.
"Why so glum now? You don't have a witty come-back?" Steiner began to worry; Zidane ALWAYS cracked a joke about him unless there was something very wrong with him.
Zidane just gave Steiner a defeated look and preceded onward to the royal chambers...
##Flashback##
...The tree finally died and silence befell the chasm in which it had stood. For many hours nothing living made its presence in the death valley until Zidane pushed one of the bone crushing roots off of himself and his "brother". It was a miracle that Zidane survived the crushing weight but Kuja was not so lucky. He was so badly maimed not even the most experienced white mage could possibly save him, yet his breath still moved although shallow and his heart beat though it was faint, all good signs but how long Kuja would survive was uncertain...
##End Flashback##
Beatrix met Zidane at the door of the main chambers. She read Zidane's face like a book, but couldn't give it a title...
"What pains you?" Beatrix made Zidane stop and look up at her. She tried to find some clue as to Zidane's discontent. She had a foreboding feeling that something about this could bring trouble and she wanted a grasp of what it could possibly be.
"It's not going to hurt any less if I don't face her..." Zidane muttered just loud enough for Beatrix to hear then pushed the General aside. He was about to open the door when she caught his tail to stop him.
Zidane went rigged again and mentally cursed his tail. His face began to flush and suddenly it became difficult for him to speak. Zidane tried to pull his tail out of the General of Alexandrias Army's hands but her grip was tight. One could guess her swordsmanship training motto was 'never lose your grip'
"Pleas let go..." Zidane whimpered, trying to avoid eye contact. He knew if he faced Beatrix in this unintentional lusty manner she would think he was coming onto her and he'd probably get the beating of the century from both her and Steiner.
"Promise me that what you have to say to Garnet will not hurt her" Beatrix said sternly, still keeping an iron grip on Zidane's tail.
"...So your saying I should suffer for her sake?" Zidane almost moaned out, his nerves where beginning to numb and Beatrix's soft hands where not helping his disposition. 'Oh Damn!' Zidane though 'Steiner would kill me if I let my brain go any deeper on that subject...'
Luckily for Zidane, Beatrix let go. She had a look of pity written on her face and didn't need to tell Zidane she understood. She was certain that a curt nod and allowing him to pass would be enough.
She opened the ivory and rose colored doors to the royal reception room, which led to Queen Garnet "Dagger" Til Alexandrious...
