Chapter 7

"You done pouting Squall?" Sephiroth asked, looking over at a pissed off Squall.

"I'm not pouting, but ya don't understand how it feels. To lose a fight, I should have won that one. What happened?"

"Squall, tell me. What were you really fighting for?" Sephiroth questioned, surprised Zell was being quiet for once.

"I lost the first time. I went to the GFs and received there power. I had totally overtaken Seifer, so I went for Link, knowing I was at least 10 times better." Answered Squall, as he stared at his gunblade.

"Well, ya really need to fight for something besides pride. You really like that gunblade don't you." Sephiroth said, getting ready to make a point.

"Yeah, it seems to be the only thing that I have left." Squall replied.

"Let me see it." Sephiroth commanded, reaching over to it. Squall slowly handed it to him. Sephiroth looked at it. He stood up, then he grabbed the tip of the blade and the handle and broke it over his knee. He dropped both halves to the ground, "There is something else, something you had...which you are about to lose"

"You son of a bitch, ya broke.I'm going to kill you!" Swore Squall as he realized he had no blade.

"You and what weapon? I think ya need to stop being so damn hard headed. You know you care about her, so save her. Don't trick yourself into saying that you like a piece of metal more than.." Sephiroth was cut off by more yelling.

"That was my blade, it was my first real weapon...I had it since the day I started training this garden. If it wasn't for that gunblade, I wouldn't..."

"Dude, I hate to admit it, but Sephiroth is right. And even now, ya got enough money to get another gunblade. Besides, that's not the best combat blade out now. They got this one called Dragonwing, and it is wicked." Zell explained.

"Squall, it's a sword. I keep mine because, I believe the longer the sword, the more skilled the fighter. But if mine broke, I would just go get another, not mourn about it." Sephiroth retorted.

"Dammit, what the fuck is wrong with you too. It's a goddamned sword, and you talk like I'm all upset about it. Zell, go get me a Dragonwing. Here, this is 500,000 Gil, keep the change." Squall said, trying to be giving.

"Uh, dude, I hate to burst your bubble. The Dragonwing, cost like 3 mil." Zell said grinning.

"Well fuck, hold on. I got some money back here, he opened a safe.which had probably 5 mil in it. Here ya go." Squall gave Zell the money, and Zell quickly left in a hurry.

"You got nice friend's" Sephiroth stated, knowing something wasn't right.

Zell, skipped down the stairs of the Garden entrance, all the way to the market in town. He strolled over to the weapons store. "I will buy a Dragonwing."

"Yes sir, that will be 20,000 Gil. Here is your receipt, and your gunblade." The man handed it over the counter. Zell's smile grew, he went over to the jewelry store. He bought a black pearl necklace for 1.5 mil. He knew Selphie would love this. After that, he went to the food store, and bought 3 packages of hotdogs, beer, and chips. On his way back to the Garden, he rented a corvette.

Meanwhile, waiting for Zell to get back, Squall and Sephiroth were getting bored "Want to play a game of cards." Squall asked, taking out his Triple Triad cards.

"Sure why not...uh what the hell are those?" Sephiroth asked confused, he was a poker player.

"This is cards, ya never heard of cards?" Squall asked, feeling like the smart one.

"Yeah, but those are like children cards. Try these." Sephiroth took out a deck of playing cards.

"Teach me how to play," insisted Squall, now feeling stupid.

"It's simple, we both put money on the table, and whoever has the better hand wins, we play 5 card stud." Sephiroth explained.

"Ok, let's see." Squall took 50,000 out of his pocket, and smacked it on the table.

"Oh, think yur going to win." Sephiroth snapped, taking his last 50k out of his out of his trench. Sephiroth dealed the cards. He was happy, when he had gotten a four 8s. He laid them on the table in front of Squall. Squall took his hand, and laid down a 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace of Spades.

"Nice try, you lose though." Sephiroth retorted, as he took the money off the table.

"Oh well, there is always next time right?" Squall said, holding a little big of anger in. Just then Zell came through the doorway.

"Got your sword." Zell quickly said, turning around and walking to the couch.

"Thanks, let me see the receipt." Squall requested. Zell pretended to feel in his pockets.

"Oh shit, must have dropped it." Zell falsely confessed.

"That's ok, I know you guys would never rob me." Joked Squall.

"Now we must begin our plan." Sephiroth started.

Time for some action...just keep on a reading, if your tired go get yourself some coffee and come back. It's not hard to read...when your eyes are tired, just hold your breathe and say, "YES I CAN!"

Oh and I got a few good writers on here to recommend: Nephthys Jeckel is good for gore, blood, and all around badass stories, such as Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and some Hell Raiser. Ryoko Zero for very good yuri fan fictions, some you may like yuri some you may not. Vicious One, I guess I could say this writer writes about anything anime, watch out for his yuri...he plans on putting some in his next stories. And, if you're a writer that rights about Yaoi, then I'm sorry, I can't recommend you. Elvenluver is a humble writer also, she is just starting to write, so check her out. Her Zelda story was interesting.
