Chp. 3. REVELATIONS…
Greetings Amigos!! Sorry I've took so lllooonnnggg to update. I've been incredibly busy. Oh, and,…..It's MY BIRTHDAY!!!! Actually, it was the 22nd of December. Anyway, on to your reviews.
Zwee: Hell yes my friend!
Remote Mine: Yes. Yes he did. (He's a top SeeD, I think he could start a fire to cook some Rexaur Meat).
Alakamarth: Finally, some constructive criticism! Anyway, Squall Smiled once! And as for the rap… well, would you believe I lost a small bet?
BerlinBrownEyes: That would be Squall talking. About Rinoa.
On with the Chapter!
Ellone was shocked. Was this…. She had to get another's help.
She ran into the cockpit. "Has anyone seen Quistis?"
Selphie and Irvine looked up from the pilot's seat. Selphy answered sleepily. "She's probably…yawn.. In her room. Why?"
Ellone was already gone.
"Quistis! Quistis! Where are you?! Qui-Ahh!"
A door had flown open, hitting Ellone in the face. Quistis stepped out, looking angry. "Yes, Ell?"
Ellone snapped back up, looking un-phased. She grabbed Quistis by the wrist. "Come with me. Quick."
Ellone dragged a complaining Quistis along to the Med Bay of the Ragnarok. Looking around to see if anyone was around she snuck in, and threw Quistis down on a chair.
Quistis's eyes were wide open, her voice full of anger, almost snarling. "Ellone. What. Is. It."
Ellone looked worried, and started to pace. "I need to send you into the past five months ago, when he talked with Rinoa."
Quistis had flinched at the sound of her name. She was clearly disgusted.
"Ellone, I don't think I want to see that!" She got up, and walked to the door.
But Ellone pushed her back down, letting out a sigh. "Calm down. I don't even think they did that, but I need to check. Here, just sit-"
But Quistis had stood up, and had made for the door, but Ellone stopped her. "Listen, Quisty, I need to see something. Even if I have to force you."
For the first time since they had recovered Squall, Quistis smiled. She looked at her Save the Queen, with was attached to her hip, and at Ellone's frail looking figure. She smirked, and put a
hand on her hip. "Really? How?"
Ellone just smiled. "Like this."
And Quistis's world went black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 months earlier, Squalls Dorm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quistis, or Squall , really, walked in to his pitch black dorm. Squall moved to his hand around the walls. Wow. Quistis though. I am finally going to see Squall's dorm!
Squall found the light switch, and lights immediately blinked on. Quistis wasn't surprised to see the whole room painted black, bare of anything except a mount holding his first Gunblade, and a picture of the Balamb beaches, along with a closet and desk. Not exactly as I thought, Quistis said to herself, as Squall sat down on his bead, throwing off his leather-and-fur jacket, landing it on the desk, throwing off some papers, Quistis saw they were some bio's marked CLASSIFIED: Commander's Eyes Only, however, he didn't look at them, so she couldn't either. He had put his hands on his head. Quistis saw sadness in his face, something that had never been in face before Ultimecia…or Rinoa. She tried to say something, to help him, but… Thok! Thok! Someone had knocked on the door and it was probably…
"Come in, Rinoa." Squall said distantly, his head still down.
The Sorceress walked in smiling. She eyed his jacket on his desk, and plopped down unceremoniously on his lap. She kissed his cheek, not expecting a return.
"How are ya, honey?" She purred seductively. Whore, Quistis thought to herself. "I heard you were going on a trip, from James. So where ya goin'? Can I come?" She moved herself so that she was now lying on his bed. Whatever she was trying to do, it wasn't working, because Squall got up, and started to pace. "The Island closest to Hell." Rinoa sat up, a little. "And, no you can't."
Rinoa finally got off the bead, looking unhappy. She started to lean on him, but he moved away. That was okay, she was used to his cold behavior. "Why not, honey?" She put on a puppy-face frown, and sat back down on his bed. Squall faced her. A blank stare on his face, but his voice had a touch of bitterness, and …anger. "You cannot go for two reasons. One: You would interfere with my training, and Two: You would probably die, because I am only taking enough curative spells for myself, and I would not waste any on you." He turned his back on her, and Quistis smiled to herself. Take that, bitch!
However, Rinoa wasn't sharing in Quistis's…delight. Rinoa lower lip was trembling, and her eyes were wide as PuPu's saucer. Her voice was shaky, at best. "W-what do you mea-?"
But Squall cut her off, his voice cold as the steel of his Gunblade. "Let it put it simply. We are over. There will be no more of…this. Why? I see the reason every day, in Zell, Irvine, and every other SeeD in Garden. They are infatuated with love and lust, clouding their mind, distracting them, weakening them. Willing to die for another, making themselves easy to manipulate and use. I do not need these liabilities. I have grown weaker since we have been…together. By reputation has weakened, people think me weak with love, I need to be thought of as ruthless. An unstoppable force…"
But now Rinoa was past sad, and gone into a fit of anger. She snarled and walked up to him, pushing him down onto his bed, though his face remained cold.
"An unstoppable force, huh, well guess what, you're already weak as a kitten. Ya know why? Because your still stuck in your delusions of having Greiver, aren't you? Well guess what, you'll never get him, or anything else in life. But guess what, there is something right in your little speech, 'cause you are the coldest, most heartless BASTARD I have ever met!!!!!!!!". She walked to the door, and just as grabbed the door knob, Squall voice mocked her.
"Thank you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Present Time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh. My. God." Ellone was looking terrified.
Quistis was equally scared, but Ellone didn't catch the tears falling down Quisty's face. She was about to say something as Zell's voice rang over the intercom. "We have arrived at Garden. Get Squall to Kadowaki's, stat."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, sorry it's so short, considering I had 3 extra days to right it (snow days)!
Next Chappie- the extent of Squall's training is shown, and the pre-tourney ball!!
Plus, Seifer finally shows up!!!
