A/N Well here I am with the next chapter. I skipped a few days from where the last chapter left off, I skipped Selphie's party in case anyone was looking forward to that. I didn't want to write that out. I'm a last writer deal with it. Instead I decided to skip to when Squall and Rinoa would be going to see General Calloway mostly because I had an idea about how that could go. I hope you like it!
For my 2 reviewers so far:
Incognito girl: You don't have to wait long they're meeting the parents in this one. Squall's not very sweet in this one though a little violent and protective. Sorry about the Grammar mistakes I thought I got them all guess not.
tainted-gump: Of course Rin and Squall end up together I just decided against the intimate part in the last chapter because I had 2 good ideas about how it should go and couldn't decide so I left it out for now. Don't worry there will be plenty of Fluff in later chapters.
So on with the chapter! Remember be kind and rewind no wait Review!
Chapter 7 Forgive Me FatherRinoa sat in the passenger bay of the Ragnorak thinking about the past couple days.
Squall was busy on the bridge piloting the ship to Deiling so that they could meet with Rinoa's father.
Rinoa had spent the past few days mostly with Squall. On Saturday they had gone to Selphie's party. It turned out great, except that Selphie showed up with a video camera and really annoyed Squall with it. But thankfully it ran out of batteries before he could hurt anyone. Other then that it had been wonderful. Rinoa and Squall had spent a lot of the time at the party alone on the balcony. They didn't really talk about anything they just spent time with each other.
Edea was also at the party with Cid, since she was going to be staying at Garden for awhile to help Rinoa with her training she wanted to meet some more of the students.
Rinoa was grateful to know that Edea would be there to help her since she was so nervous about the use of her powers and what would happen if she used them.
So now they were headed to Deiling City to visit her father. Not exactly something she was looking forward to but she had to tell him about being a Sorceress, about her relationship with Squall and her up coming SEED training. She was pretty sure he wouldn't like any of those things but she had to tell him.
Squall's voice came over the Ragnorak's P.A. system. "Hey Rin, we're here, are you ready to go?"
"No" breathed Rinoa, knowing he couldn't hear her. Rinoa got up and went to the bridge and sat down beside Squall "Ya hun, I'm about as ready as I'll ever be" she sighed.
Squall reached over and held her hand and smiled "don't worry Rin, It'll be alright I promise"
Rinoa gave a weak smile as Squall landed just outside Deiling City.
They stood outside the Caroway Mansion, Rinoa was looking so nervous that Squall just wanted to forget the whole thing. 'Nothing is worth putting her through this' he thought bitterly. After a few more moments Rinoa headed to the door and knocked softly.
A maid came quickly to the door "what can I do for you?" she asked.
"I'm Rinoa Heartly, the General's daughter. We'd like to see him"
"Right this way" replied the maid and opened the door to let them in. She led them into Caroway's study, He was sitting behind a large Oak desk, writing on some papers.
"Hello Dad" Rinoa said quietly.
The General looked up from his papers surprised, "Why hello Rinoa, what brings you here?"
"Well" stuttered Rinoa slightly "I have some things I need to tell you, first of all I'd like you to meet Squall"
"Hello General" said Squall as he held out his hand to the General.
The General stood up from his desk and shook Squall's hand. "Ah yes Squall, I remember you from the Sorceress mission. So why did you come here with Rinoa?"
"Well sir, I came here so that I could be with Rinoa when you found out that she would be staying at Garden with me" said Squall confidently.
"What!?"
"Dad! Calm down! I've decided to stay at Garden and become a Seed" said Rinoa firmly.
"No your not!" yelled Calloway "it was bad enough when you were off playing resistance fighter in Timber, but I'm not going to have you running around the world hunting a sorceress!"
"Well no need to worry there! I am the damn sorceress" exclaimed Rinoa
Calloway turned red and veins bulged from his neck "WHAT!!!" he screamed, "you're the sorceress! YOU!" He glared murderously at Squall. "You let this happen to her!"
Before Squall could form a reply Rinoa was yelling hers "leave my boyfriend alone! There was nothing he could have done to stop it." She stopped yelling and went on "I would have become a sorceress whether or not I had been with Squall or not. The only thing Squall has done is help me. So you leave him out of it"
This information only seemed to make Calloway angrier. "I can't be a general in a country who hates sorceress if my daughter is one!"
"What are you trying to say?" Squall asked Angrily
"What I'm trying to say Squall my boy, is that I never want to see you or Rinoa ever again as long as I live" Calloway said very calmly.
"Fine you bastard, I'm gone" said Rinoa and walked quickly from the room.
Squall wanted nothing more then to follow Rinoa out of the study but there was something he wanted to make sure of first. He grabbed Calloway by the collar and shoved him against a wall. "I want you to know 'sir' that as per your request I will make sure that you never see Rinoa or I again. That includes when your old and dieing, when we get married, or when we have kids. You will never see us, I hope you realize just what that means" Squall ground out angrily.
Calloway laughed evily "You really think that Rinoa will ever stay with you? You're a murderer and she's just a child. She'll leave as soon as she gets bored and realizes what you really are.
"You really don't know your daughter very well General, and now you never will" Squall said honestly and walked out to find Rinoa.
Squall found Rinoa sitting on the front step of the mansion, crying softly. Squall sat down beside her and pulled her into his lap wrapping his arms around her. "Shhh Rin don't cry" he whispered "that bastard doesn't deserve to be your father"
"I was hoping he would've accepted it, but I guess it was wrong for me to hope." Sobbed Rinoa.
"No you weren't Rin, but he just can't. Now he's going to live the rest of his life regretting it"
They stayed on the steps until Rinoa stopped crying and then they headed back to the Ragnorak.
A/N So I know Squall was a little weird when he had Calloway against the wall but I figured "hey since he's with Rinoa and he hasn't been with anyone else before, then he probably intends to be pretty serious with her" if You don't agree give me a review if you do I want one anyway. I don't know what's happening in the next chapter I'll let you know.
