Last CH. Notes: The whole last chapter was made up on the spot! Now for all you Squall fans don't worry, he's not gay, Seifer's just being an ass, lol. Anyway, it was again around 6 AM that I published this CH. I was working on it since….erm…12AM? Dunno, but I was doing other things too. Hope you enjoy the next CH! Dark Mistress
There was complete and utter silence. The whole Garden was asleep, or so it seemed.
Quistis leaned against her dorm room wall, her head in her hands, covering the few tears that dared to be shed.
For the longest time, she thought that she'd been in love with Seifer. But last night just proved how wrong she was.
7:30 PM Quistis' Classroom
The blond instructor sat quietly at her desk, typing on her computer. The door slid open noisily, causing the young women to look up from her work. She smiled and her eyes quickly went back to her computer screen.
Seifer walked over to her desk, nothing out of the ordinary. Recently, he'd been coming after classes to see Quistis. Sometimes for Garden related purposes, and sometimes, for something else.
The slightly younger blond sat down on the corner of Quistis desk, watching her type away. She continued as if she hadn't even noticed him. Seifer just sat and watched, his bright green eyes focused on Quistis.
"Quis." he called out, slightly startling her. She looked up at him after a pause, leaning back in her chair.
"What is it Seifer? Need something?"
"Nothing in particular Instructor." he smiled innocently. Quistis looked him up and down curiously, eyebrows fixed in a raised position. The taller blond leaned forward.
"So Quistis? When was the last time that you went out?" the older blonds facial expression changed to a slightly curious, slightly surprised look. "Why do you ask such a thing Seifer?" the male shrugged.
"Just curious." She continued eyeing him suspiciously. "Curious if you'd want to go out to Balamb with me tonight. I'm going to a club. You know, to relax some."
"Oh? Is that so?" she asked, her head tilting slightly to one side. He nodded. "Aren't Fujin and Raijin going with you?"
"Hyne no. Even since Fujin became pregnant, Raijin doesn't wanna leave her side. It's not even his baby." he chuckled. Quistis smiled and leaned forward on her desk. "And what does Fujin have to say about that." Seifer leaned forward getting closer to his instructor.
"Well, don't tell anyone. But I'm pretty sure she's enjoying the company." he grinned. "Even though all she does is glare and roll her eyes at him" Quistis laughed as he sat up straight again.
"So how about it Quis? Do you wanna come with me?" Quistis looked at her computer screen, then back to Seifer.
"Well Seifer I'd love to but…I just can't. Not tonight." Seifer stood up and walked around the desk to Quistis. He knelt down on the floor in front of her.
"Please Quis. I don't wanna go by myself. C'mon. It's only for tonight. Besides you work to hard." he winked as the smaller of the two sighed. She looked back up into his bright green eyes and smiled nodding her head.
"Alright Seifer."
"Good." Seifer smiled back. "So, I'll pick you up around 9:00?" Quistis nodded. With another small smile, Seifer leaned down, kissed her cheek and left the room. As soon as the door slid closed, Quistis put a hand to her cheek and blushed bright red.
The club was loud, the music blared over the bodies on the floor and bar. Quistis hadn't been here in a while. In fact, the last time she was here, she was appointed instructor, and she'd gone out by herself to celebrate. What a night that was.
As the two walked towards the bar Seifer put his arm around her waist, causing her to look up at him. He grinned down at the shorter blond and bushed his lips against hers. With that he led her to a few vacant seats, her slightly pale face blushing brightly.
Seifer leaned over and ordered drinks for the both of them. He knew the bartender, so his I.D. wasn't needed. Quistis mean while was eager to get onto the dance floor. Quickly, Seifer obliged, but not before slipping a note to the bartender. With a quick wink, the two of them were dancing.
When the bartender was sure they were out of sight, he slipped a small amount of something into Seifer's glass, the rest of the vial going into Quistis' coat pocket.
As the night waned on, the two danced and drank till they could do neither. Thanks to Quistis' miracle drug from Kadowaki, they were both able to get home in one piece.
Seifer was severely wasted, or so Quistis thought. Every chance he got he pushed himself on the smaller blond. As first she disregarded it and shrugged him off. But the more attempts he made, the more her walls began to crumble under his touch. Seifer had discovered that when he did it seriously instead of the drunken approach, Quistis would let him get farther before she pushed him away.
By the time they got to the dorms, Quistis was in full participation, letting Seifer all over her body. She fumbled clumsily in her pocket for her key card as Seifer's lips ravaged her body. She let out soft moans, barely audible as she pulled out her card, Seifer gently biting the tender skin on her neck.
The slightly older blond sighed and accidentally let the key card slip from her hand and onto the floor. Before she could bend down to pick it up, Seifer kicked it across the hall. He grinned as she looked up into his clear green eyes. Quistis laughed.
"Seifer, go get the key." he stood there grinning, and moved himself against the door, Quistis leaning on his chest. She smiled and kissed him gently, leaving yet another lipstick mark on his face.
Suddenly Seifer fell limp against the door and slid to the floor. Quistis stood and watched, a bit surprised but nothing more. She laughed and tried to pull Seifer up, but he'd just gotten heavier in the last few minutes. The blond sighed putting her hands on her hips and turned to pick up her key card.
As soon as she turned around Quistis found herself face to face with Headmaster Cid. He stared at her in disbelief. Her eyes were wide with fear, anxiety and expectancy. The Headmaster shook his head and called Dr. Kadowaki for assistance.
The blonds eyes clenched tightly, trying to rid her mind of the image. The horror that followed the examination of her clothing, and Seifer's system. Quistis couldn't believe she'd been set up, but when he saw Seifer the next time, he was mocking her. His face, his posture, his voice….his eyes….
'Oh Hyne his eyes…' Quistis thought, remembering the fired look in those bright emerald orbs, the passion. She grimaced as her thoughts began to praise his looks, his touch and his gorgeous eyes. Letting another tear fall, she sniffled and sat up in her bed.
After a few minutes of staring into her dark dorm room, she got up and went into the bathroom for a late night bath.
Quistis let the hot water run as she relaxed in the tub. She clenched her eyes, trying to let all her troubles soak into the water.
Water……………………
When Quistis opened her eyes, she was laying in the surf of a beach she knew all too well. There were a few trees around, and a large light house off in the distance. The sound of the crashing waves soothed her and she looked around for her friend.
The island was small, so she could see to almost every edge, except where the beach turned into a forest. But even though she couldn't see it, she knew what was there.
"Quistis…troubled are you?" a soft voice rang out through the air. The blond looked in the direction of the voice and smiled. The other's voice was like a soft chime that she'd heard when she was young, at the orphanage.
"Shiva…." Quistis called out. The Guardian Force came closer to the young women. When she approached the water was broken and a dragon-like creature came out of the ocean. It approached and laid it's head in her lap.
"Seifer tricked me…..I….I don't know what to do…" Quistis said softly, although both GF's heard her clearly.
"Shiva understands Quistis……" the other said, placing her hand on the blonds shoulder. Quistis cried into Shiva's shoulder, Leviathan wrapped itself around her, laying its head on her shoulder. The three sat that way until the wind began to blow sharply.
"Quistis has to go back now….." Shiva smiled down at her. "Shiva and Leviathan will be here."
The smaller of the three stood and wiped a few tears from her face. The dragon-like creature cooed and watched her as Shiva smiled gently.
Quistis nodded and went towards the sea, taking a breath she jumped in.
When she opened her eyes she was in her bathroom again….the water had shut off by itself. She leaned back and stared at the ceiling. In a few hours she'd have to face the Garden again…..have to face Seifer…
The young blond sank beneath the water trying to keep time from going on…but Hyne wouldn't have it. She resurfaced and got out the bath, wrapping herself into a towel. She lay on her bed and closed her eyes, the soft whisper of a song she'd heard long ago humming through her mind….
