Chapter four: Seifer and his gang

"So, Skye. You ride this thing for fun, right?" Riku asked. "Yeah, that's not the only thing I do." Skye muttered. 'Why am I here anyway?' She thought sarcastically. Both of them had said nothing until...

"Well, look at what we've got here." The gangster Seifer said to his friends, Fujin and Rufus. "Look at what we've gotten ourselves into now." Riku whispered to Skye. 'Oh dear. Don't tell me I forgot it.' Skye thought, reaching into her pocket. "Isn't that the girl from Balamb, Leonhart's niece?" Fujin asked Seifer.

"Yeah, I'm her." Was all she could answer. 'What are you doing, Skye?' Riku wondered, looking at her. She took several steps back as Rufus got closer. "What should we do with the guy?" He asked. "Beat him." Seifer replied coldly. "Keep the girl."

'Oh no. I left it at home. Stupid, stupid me.' Skye felt angry for herself for not bringing her weapon. 'I can't protect her without a weapon. How am I supposed to fight now?' Riku thought, dodging a bullet and a shruiken. "Hyah!" Skye attacked Rufus with some martial arts she had learned in Balmab Garden. "Hah!" "So, you want to play that way." Rufus punched and she blocked it with one arm. She kicked and he dodged.

"SKYE!" Riku yelled, still dodging the bullets and shruikens. "RIKU!" With nearly all her strength, she had punched Rufus so hard that he fell unconscious. "She's strong. But, not strong enough." Seifer muttered, "Fujin, handle her."

Fujin somersaulted toward Skye, who got out of the way in time, and threw three large shruikens at her. Riku punched Seifer, who punched him twice as hard. As Riku tried to get up, Seifer slashed out at him. Part of his shirt and flesh were cut, blood gushed out faster each second. But, that didn't stop Riku.

"Still wanna fight? I don't think your girl's gonna last any longer." Seifer taunted. He was right. Skye kept punching, but Fujin blocked each one, saying, "You can't beat me with fists like those." 'I can barely punch him anymore.' Skye continued to punch, but each one was weaker than the last. "Come on, Skye. Is that that all you've got?" A voice taunted in her head.

"Now, let's see how well you can dance." Fujin said, throwing more shruikens. As if she had all her energy, she spun around and dodged each one. Then, Skye kicked all the shruikens out of her hand. "Ha! Hyah!" Fujin grabbed her wrist and flipped her above her own head. When she let go, she flipped, somersaulted and landed on her feet. "You're lucky I'm not wearing heels." She said, dashing at her opponent.

"It seems your guy's determined to be beat Seifer." Fujin told her, flipping her over again. "He is. And we're NOT dating!" The sixteen-year-old girl screamed. Then, they all heard a gun shot from Seifer. Fujin ran away when Skye turn to see what happened.

Riku was still alive and breathing. 'Selphie's gonna kill me if he dies.' Skye thought, dashing to help. "Skye! Look out!" Riku yelled. He ran toward her to push her away from there.

BANG!!!

Seifer had aimed at her. But, Riku got in the way. The bullets dug through his flesh as he cried in agony. "Riku! Please! Don't die! Please!" Skye begged. "Heh. My job's done." Seifer smirked and left. "HEY! THERE THEY ARE!" Kairi's voice screamed. "What happened to...?" Sora saw Riku's body in front of Skye and knew what happened. "Did Seifer do this?" Yuna asked.

Skye nodded. "He did." "Let's hurry and get to the hospital!" Tidus instructed. After they left, Selphie and Seifer stepped out from the shadows.

"Idiot! You were supposed to hurt her. Not hurt him!" Selphie screamed at him. "Geez, why do you want to hurt her anyway?" Seifer asked suspiciously. "No reason," Selphie said sweetly, "Now, just do something right for once!" "All right! I get the point! You're getting jealous, aren't you?" Seifer smirked.

"NO! I'M NOT!" Selphie screamed. "Yes, you are. It's written all over your face." Fujin showed up with a smirk on her face. "SHUT UP!" Selphie screamed. "Fine, just calm down, 'Lil Miss I'm-Jealous-and-It's-Written-All-Over-My- Face." Seifer teased. "I am NOT jealous!" Selphie screamed even louder.
