Chapter Six

"Quistis." Nothing. "Quistis." Still nothing. Squall poked the sleeping girl with his finger. "Get up." The blonde groaned softly as she rolled over. Flustrated he pulled the pillow out for under her head. A rather loud muffled 'umph' came from her lips as she turned to him. A second might have passed before she shot out of bed and dashed past him. Shocked, Squall chased after her as she ran into the kitchen. "I'm so sorry master. I must have over..." She traled off as she realolized where she was. "Master?" Squall raised an eye brow as she shook her head. "Sorry. I forgot where I was." Squall nodded. "Hungery?" Squall shook his head no. "Have you eaten?" Shaking his head, Squall walked out of the kitchen and into his room.

The hour was growing late and he still wasn't packed. Neather was she but she had little to pack in the first place. Squall started throwing things into an open suit case before he heard a soft knock. Looking up he saw Quistis standing there with a cup of tea. "Here." She placed it down on his bed side table. "You need to eat something." After throwing in a few things he closed his suit case. "No. I'm not hungery and I don't want to eat. We need to leave in a few hours. Get packed." Quistis nodded and left him to himself. 'Great now she hates me.' Sighing Squall flopped onto his bed. It was going to be a long day of train rides. It's not like he didn't want to go, it's just he didn't want to see Laguna. That man just rubbed him the wrong way. There were reasons, but there were reasons to like him too. 'Just stop. Stop thinking. It's too much.' Squall rolled over and glanced at the clock. It was around eleven and the train left at one. ' We need to get going. We need to leave here about... Damn. I need to run by wrok. We need to leave in a half an hour.'

Rolling off his bed, Squall walked into the libary. Quistis was sitting on the floor next to her things, all packed. She was reading one of his books, and looked rather lost in it. Quietly, Squall placed himself on the bed behind her. 'She always sits on the floor. There's a chair right there. What does it matter.' There was something about her that just made him stop whatever it was he was doing. Everything about her made him curious. Looking her over he tried to find what it was, but it was no use. Time slipped by as he watched her read. "Squall?" Her voice brought him back form his thoughts. Only then did he realize that she had moved. "When do we have to leave?" Shaking off this thoughts he looked at the clock. "Um. Now."

The trip to the train was a quiet one. They had stopped by the dinner to get a few things. Quistis talked happily with Irvine as Squall did whatever it was he needed to do. Once he was done they left for the train. After being rushed ito the cabin, Squall threw himself onto one of the bunks, and turned on the tv, only to turn it off seconds later. Fishing through his bags, Squall found what he was looking for. His lap top. After a few seconds of readong, Squall's fingers dived onto the key bored typing at brake neck speeds.A suden jerk signaled the start of the train and forced Squall to look up. There across from him was Quistis, reading the same book. Pulling this thoughts back to the lap top, he forced himself to write more. "How long till we get to Esthar?"

"Not too long." A small smile lit up her face as she skooted closer to him. Closing his eyes he lowered his head. Her soft warm lips pressed against him. 'Why can't I feel those lips on mine?' Opening his eyes he watched her pull back. "Good. There's no more temp." Squall nodded and placed his lap top back in it's bag. It was too much to write on the train. After a while he turned on the little tv and looked for something to watch. Nothing. There was never anything on, but what was there to do? Finaly he picked a movie that looked some what good. It was about some girl who fell in love with a knight who was promised to another. 'Chick flick.' Looking at the screen he sighed. 'Whatever.' It had to do. Rolling his eyes he saw that Quistis had put the book down and was watching. Tiresomely Squall suffled down so he could rest some. Quistis soon fallowed and curled up next to him. Portectively Squall placed his arms around her, and in return Quistis rested her head on his chest. 'Yeah. I could get use to this.' Smirking, Squall started to rub her back. A sharp gasp of air made him stop.

"You ok?" Looking down at her he could see she was biting down on her lip hard. She made a small 'umhm' noise. realizing what he was doing Squall pulled his arm off of her. "Sorry." Squall kept one hand on her hip, while the other rested behind her. "No. No. It's ok. You just forgot. Don't worry. Didn't hurt that bad." Squall looked at her in disbelif. "No it's no ok. I should have thought first." Quistis shook her head and smiled at him. "No. It's ok. Don't worry so much about me." Squall looked at her oddly. "No." Quistis rolled her eyes and truned back to the tv. After a while sleep took hold of both of them.

A jerk let Quistis know that the train had stopped. Sighing she looked to Squall who was sleeping fitfuly. Poking at him she woke him up. "I think we're here." Squall tried to focuse his eyes but no good. Sleeply he rubbed them and looked at Quistis. "What?" Sleep had ot fully left him. "I tink we're here."

"Great." Squall looked around the bunk. His stomach gave a loud growl."See you should have ate something." Squall rolled his eyes. "I wasn't hungery." Pulling himself away he rolled out of bed. Grabbing his things he started to walk to the door. Just before he reached the door it flew open. "Son!" Squall jumped back into Quistis, glaring at the person who jumped in. The taller dark hair man hugged Squall. "I'm soo glad you came back home for a vist." Quistis sat back down on the bed and watched as Squall tried to get away. "Who's this Squally?"

Finaly Squall broke free. He glared that the other man, Quistis could only guess was his father. Squall stiffened and turned to her. "She's.. she's my room mate." Laguna looked confused then smiked. "Ok then. We'll talk about this later. Come on you two." With that They were wisked away to a limo. Inside sat a tall linky darker man. Laguna moe in next to him, while Squall stayed close to Quistis. "So you have a room mate? Why didn't you tell me? do you need more money?" Squall sighed. He keep his head down as he talked. "No. I don't need money. I make more than I need to live there. I didn't tell you because she hasn't been living with me that long. Her name is Quistis. Quistis Trepe." Laguna looked over to the other man who in return gave the same grave look back.

"Like the Almasy's Trepe?" Quistis' eyes widened in fear at that. "Squall. I don't think you should.." Laguna was silenced by the other man. "It's ok Laguna. She's welcomed here Squall." Squall loked up at him and nodded. "But Kiros! The Alamsy's have a deal with us." Kiros put a hand up to quiet the man. "Ms. Trepe. You are safe here. Just stay with Squall. Is that alright?" Quistis nodded. The same sweet smile placed on her perfect lips. Squall zoned out watching her, blissfuly unawair that Laguna was tryin to talk to him.

"SQUALL!" Jerked out of his thoughts, he turned to Laguna. "Have you been listening?" Squall looked at him oddly but said nothing. "Hyne boy! What are we going to do with you?" Squall just raised an eye brow and sighed. "We're here." Squall jumped at the chance to get out of the lemo and away from his father. Almost running into the 'house' (if a house was as big as two city blocks) he stopped at the door and looked back. There was Quistis talking with Kiros. Sighing he waited for them. Quistis almost bumped into him. "Sorry." Something clicked in Squall's head. "Laguna." The older man looked disapointed with his tone. "I need to talk to you. Kiros can you show Quistis to her room?" Kiros nodded and pulled her to the side.

"This way Ms. Trepe." Quistis fallowed in aw at the sized of the house. "Big huh?" Quistis nodded stupidly as they stoped at a large wooden oak door. "Well here's your room." The room looked almost like Squalls but in deep reds. "Squall's room is across the hall if you need anything. ok?" Smiling brightly Quistis nodded. "Thank you. But can you tell me what the deal is you have with the Almasy's?"

"Well, there has been alot of slave run aways. Not just with the Almasy's but with other families. So we made a deal with some families. If one of thier slaves are found then we send them back, or hold them here till the family comes for them. If the family does not want them, then we have the right to sell them back to the traders, or keep them. As a law we are not able to keep other slaves. So we have to sell them."

Squall looked at Laguna as if his head was on backwads. 'So if any run aways were found then they would have to be sold back somewhere.' Squall groaned in the kitchen. He was hungery and wished that Quistis could make him something like she did back home. Picking at what the cook had made him he shook his head. "Ok." Standing Squall headed to his room. Standing in his door way he looked across the hall. The door was open and he could hear the shower running. "You like her?" Squall jumped at Kiros' voice.

"What does it matter?" Squall turned to walk back into his room. "You know Rain would hate to see you like this." Stopping dead in his tracks, Squall truned. "Yes, I knew your mother. I've been friends with your father for a very long time, and I've known Rain for almost as long. I know she would want you to be happy." Squall shook his headand turned away. He did not want to talk with this man about his mother. "Squall." He stopped but didn't turn. "Please don't be mad at Laguna. He did what he could. We all did." Angery Squall turned around. He wanted to punc the man,kill him, hit him, anything. But he couldn't. Something in the back ground grabbed his eye. Walking past Kiros, Squall walked into Quistis' room and slammed the door.

The sudden noise scared Quistis. SHe jumped when she saw Squall. "Your back." His voice was low. "I got it. No worries." Squall shighed and flopped down on the bed. 'Boy he sleeps alot.' Sighign Quistis flopped down next to him. His body instinctly pulled her closer. "Night Quisty." Smiling softly she wrapped herself onto him. "Night Squall."
