A/N: When I mention Rinoa going to a ledge she doesn't kill herself, lol. She jumps and makes it safety to the ground. How and Why? Uhhh… here's a clue. She's magical! Thanks lady-rinoa for trying to help. That story you told me about, we have similarities but mine is better, no? lol, don't answer that. My story will focus on Rinoa's relationship and a killer. So the stories are a bit diff.

I've already written half of this story but I'm revising it over and over. Everyone, there are lots of little spoilers everywhere. Tell me if you see something suspicious as the story moves on.

Chapter 5 – Just keep running. Escape.

Orange, pink and blue covered the sky. The shadows of many buildings advanced as the sun rose. Looking out to the distance… watching birds fly freely, and then glancing toward Squall, Rinoa said "My heart is no issue for you. Just continue to heal yours."

Squall had been asleep his body moving very slowly, breathing, dreaming. Rinoa looked at the sky once more and turned around to the ledge of the tower.

The streets seemed to be clear and only sounds from the station were present. She hastily walked to the sides of the tall towers, in the little shadows that were. Squall, I will return. There is something I need to do. "Excuse me miss…" A innocent voice came from behind Rinoa. She shifted around, the sun shining on her face. "Do you- …Oh my god…! You're, you're Rinoa Heartilly!!"

Rinoa backed away from her. Shit! The woman held her hands to her face and ran down the street in a hurry. Stupid shit…Rinoa ran after the woman. Going down a block she had lost her. "Please help!" Rinoa heard from the side. Her eyes were now set on her, she was calling the police. Rinoa reached inside her coat and hurled a knife at her. Just then she ran to the side of the walkway and jumped on to another for her escape.

"Get up you four…" Squall knocked his foot on a couch his friends were sleeping on.

Selphie popped her head up from the armrest. "Squally, you're back!" She said and shoved Irvine off of her.

"Huh… heh…. Wha?" Irvine muttered as he opened his eyes.

Quistis slowly opened her eyes and stood up from the other end of the couch. "I'm glad you found us here. I thought you would have come here to see your father." She said.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz" Zell snored loudly with his head leaned back toward the ceiling.

Irvine shoved his shoulder and said "Hotdogs!"

"Yo! What were?!" Zell said wide awake looking around.

"Sorry we don't serve hotdogs for breakfast."

Everyone looked towards the door. It was Laguna serving up a big smile.

"Say Squall how did you get into the place without me knowing?" He asked.

"Ellone..." Squall responded coldly to him. He looked at the others. "Rinoa is on the move. Let's go." Squall ordered as he walked out of the presidential palace.

"Thanks for letting us stay Laguna, you're the coolest!" Selphie yelled and waved goodbye. Everyone else said their goodbyes and hurried out after Squall.

Squall walked silently ahead of everyone. Of course Quistis ran up ahead to speak to him. "Where have you been? You found Rinoa, right?" Quistis asked him as they got outside.

"……I asked around. A man said he saw a woman with a black trench with her hood up running by here."

"Yo! Check it out it's the General" Zell hollered.

They all walked up to him curious. "General Caraway, could you explain what are you doing here? As I recall, Headmaster Cid told me you would be with him in protection." Quistis questioned.

He stood tall and smiled. "Ah yes, that's true but don't be alarmed. I'm heading back to him now."

"Sir, I'll have you escorted back." Quistis said.

He stared at Squall suspiciously and responded. "No, no, no. It is fine. You must return to your duty. Now go." Everyone did just what he said.

Hurrying down a walkway a man walked up to her and grabbed her shoulder. It was some soldier in uniform. "Don't you touch me!" Rinoa ordered loudly.

"Hey, take that hood off and let's see sum id to clear something out for me." He said.

"Who are you to think you can just harass me?! Go fuck yourself!" Rinoa told him and pulled herself away.

The soldier was to approach her again but a different man yelled at him. "Hey! Leave da lady alone!" The soldier faced him and punched him to the floor. Just when he turned around Rinoa knocked him in the face. Only to be angered, the soldier pulled out a gun and pointed it toward the man on the floor.

"Who the hell gave you a gun?" Rinoa said and used Thundaga. The soldier fell unconscious.

Her hood fell off. She slipped a cigarette in her mouth and ran her hair back out of her eyes. Ugh... why me? The man that had tried to save her just stared… What's his problem? Rinoa walked to him and gave him a hand to get to his feet.

"I am in ya debt! Lemeh help ya out, is der anything I can do for yah?" The man asked.

"…Is there a junk shop around here?"

"Yahz in luck! I own one, just over der!" The man said then pointed to the store.

"I want a gun… a silent one. Can I count on you?"

"Foreva!"

"Just there's a catch. I'm going to have to erase your memory of me when I get my weapon."

"Hahaha, you've got a sense of huma, come ba mah shop tonight." The man responded and laughed as he walked away. Rinoa shook her head. She took her cigarette out of her mouth and frowned. How'd that get there?
