Chapter Six---Burn for Me

"Fujin?" Squall's voice cut through the dark and quiet of her room, startling Fujin from her self-indulgent misery.

"What?" Squall frowned at the door. Her voice was soft and defeated. This simply would not do.

"Get your bags packed. We leave in an hour." Fujin sighed. She had already agreed to go. She'd even packed just to get her mind off of her fight with Seifer though it hadn't really worked.

"Coming." Fujin opened the door and squinted against the light. Squall raised a brow at her disheveled and unkept appearance.

"...I'll take your bags. Meet us at the train station. And Fujin?" Fujin turned to him.

"I recommend looking your best...we're going to meet Seifer's parents." Squall walked away without another word leaving poor Fujin standing there dumbly. Then it sank in. Seifer! Quickly, she shut the door and jumped into the shower.

"Seifer, will you stop your pacing! You're making me nervous." Makai snapped. Seifer sighed and flopped onto the couch. He envied Makai at the moment. The boy was never phased by anything. Ever.

However, not 15 minutes ago Squall had called to tell him Fujin was coming. Fujin was coming. Seifer couldn't calm himself down since. Maybe she just wanted to tell him she really did hate him and never wanted to see him again? Or maybe she wanted to say she was sorry? Or maybe Squall had forced her to come... Seifer sighed again. Thinking was getting him nowhere.

Time was passing painfully slow. All Seifer could think about was how he wanted Fujin with him, right then and there, to take her into his arms and tell her he was sorry for leaving. That he loved her.

Fujin sat silently between Selphie and Quistis for the train ride, folding and unfolding her hands. Selphie giggled and took a pale hand in her own small one and smiled at Fujin.

"It's gonna be ok Fuj! You'll see!" The brunette's never ending cheerfulness never ceased to earn a smile from Fujin. Quistis nodded in agreement.

"She's right. Just...don't do anything stupid." Fujin rolled her eyes and resigned herself to staring out the window.

What if he's mad at me now? What if he realizes that he shouldn't have come back and he never wants to talk to me again? What if Squall didn't tell him I'm even coming! Fujin bit her lip and frowned in thought. And soon her doubtful thoughts turned to more cheery ones. Ones that allowed her to swallow her pride, say she was sorry, that she wanted him to stay. That she loved him.

A familiar blue car blued up and Seifer for got to breathe. Soon the silver haired woman climbed out and his heart just about stopped. Cale, Makai and Arien rushed outside to greet them all and Seifer followed behind slowly. Quistis smiled at him and stepped aside, revealing a very timid looking Fujin.

She looked up at him and then quickly looked back down. Seifer smiled and reached out for her hand. Startled fire-red eyes locked with his. And in that one instant they knew the truth and all was forgiven. More importantly, they were finally home. Seifer chuckled and pulled her into his arms.

"Welcome home."
