Chapter 10- Unwanted encounters
"OH YEAH!" Rung through the halls before Zell darted down the hall, having heard the announcment about the new tournement being introduced. In almost no time, he had gotten dressed and was already tearing through the presidentail doors to find some place to sign up.
It was around four in the afternoon before he could find the junk shop, the one place other then the items store next to it to sign up. "It's about TIME!" He yelled out loud in the middle of the crowd. Some were signing up, others were just there for support on the entrys part, but Zell was alone on his part. He didn't mind. He didn't even care that he was the only one signing up. Or so he thought.
About an hour after he had gotten there, it was finally his time to sign. As he wrote down his name, he gave the list a quick scan over. Alot of people he had never heard of, more then likely rookies just looking for somethign to do. Half way through the list, he spotted Squall's name and just under it, Irvines. "Well, I'll be damned."
After he was signed in, he strolled out, whistling happily with his hands in his pockets. Giving a heavy sigh, he saw Squall and Irvine sitting at a resturant across from the shop and called out. "Hey!"
Irvine looked over, giving a slight wave and gestureing to come over. "Hey, Zell. See you signed up too." He said, taking a sip of his drink.
"Yeah, how could I not? Not only is this gonna be fun as hell, but it might actually be a chance to get some serious training in. I tell ya man, the Garden training center just don't cut it anymore." He snatched a seat out from under the table and turned it backwards before sitting down and resting his arms on the back to rest his chin on.
Squall took a bite of his salad before saying "I saw Quistis, Selphie and Fujin signing in just after we did next door for the womens division. Seems they're going all out for this thing."
"Good. It'll be good for everyone to show off our skills." Snatching Irvines drink, Zell downed the rest of it and set on the table.
The cowboy glared at him as he snatched the glass, motioning for the waitress for a fill up. Walking over, she filled the glass and bowed, then walked off. "They already know our skills. They just want entertainment."
"So?" Zell shrugged, really seeing now problem.
Squall shook his head and sighed. //This is gonna be a long tournement.//
*** "UNCESSCARY." Fujin said as she crossed her arms, waiting for Selphie and Quistis to come out of their dressing rooms.
"Oh, please. The kind of battle needs the right kind of clothing to show it off." Selphie declared before a loud thud was heard from her changing area. "Ow! This place is way too small! I hit my head on the wall!"
A slight laugh came from the room across from her. "Sit down and try to put the jeans on, hon." Quistis said, looking out over the door to Fujin. "Could you hand me my boots please?"
Nodding, Fujin bent down and picked up the young instructors boots, which she had taken off before going to change. Though the two had begged and pleaded, Fujin stood firm in fighting whatever she wore then day the tournement began. Selphie and Quistis, however, had the notion that looks would matter in the fight and practicly dragged the young albino to the cloesest clothing store. Needless to say, she was bored beyond reason.
Selphie's door swung open, revealing her outfit. "Well, whatcha think?" She turned around, showing off the jeans that clung to her body like a second skin, her regular brown boots and a white t-shirt she wore and had tied in a knot near the hemline, showing off her midsection.
Walking out of her own changing station, Quistis rested her hand on her hips as she looked Selphie over. "It's very nice, Selphie." Quistis' outfit was not much different from her usual. Insetad of it's red and peach colors, the outfit was solid black with sating patters around the chest area which showed a tasteful amount of clevage. She didn't opt for the gloves and had her hair pulled into a tight pony tail, stopping just short of the small of her back.
"Lookin' good, Quisty." The young SeeD said with a wink. "C'mon, Fujin. You really should buy something. They got tons of stuff here that would great for you."
"NO NEED." She said with a small shrug, looking off to the side.
Placing a hand on Selphie's shoulder, Quistis smiled lightly and said, "Don't push her, Selphie. If she dosen't want to, we can't make her." She turned, bent down and looked at the silver haired woman. "Will you at least come eat with us?" A small but playful pout came to her lips as she batted her eyes in a sad puppy dog like manner.
Even Fujin couldn't help but smirk at this. "AFFIRMITIVE." She waited for the women to change back into their normals cloithing, then went to pay with them. The line wasn't very long, but appeard to be moving very slowly.
To pass the time, Selphie had began talking to Quistis about old times at Trabia. "And so I'm like, 'What do you mean I hit the wrong monster? It's dead, don't I get the grade?' And he's like 'No.' And I just wanted to beat the guy down right there!"
Quistis laughed and continued to listen, commenting every now and then. She stared idly at Fujin, who seemed to be looking off over into a the far corner of the store as she was on to her toes. "Fu?" She finally called out.
"Hmm?" Was her only response, not looking to her.
"What are you looking at?" She stood as well to try and find what could have been so interesting.
"SAW SOMEONE." She said as she turned back around and crossed her arms but kept an eye over her shoulder. "THOUGHT KNEW."
"Oh oh oh! I want this one too! Please?" A voice called out from a near by rack.
All three women visibly cringed. They knew that voice all too well. "Rinoa..." They all sighed and turned. "Ok, just stay low, mabey she won't -"
"Selphie!" She called out, rushing over to them and grabbing her in a vice like hug.
"See us...." Selphie sighed and turned, forcing the most convincing smile she could. "Rinoa! It's...really good to see you again."
"NOT." Fujin said, turning her back to her.
"Oh, she's just like cause she thinks I stole her man." Rinoa laughed. "So, what have you guys been up to?"
Quistis lunged at the albino, who had gotten a hold of the hand held scanner to beat Rinoa senseless. "WAS NOT MAN!"
"Fujin, calm down." Snatching the scanner from her, Quistis sighed and handed her bag to Selphie. "Hold this, I'll be right back." Selphie nodded, not even listening to the meaningless banter that Rinoa was spewing.
It took a bit of effort, but Quistis finally managed to drag Fujin out of the store by her midsection. She let her go, Fujin crossing her arms with a huff and leaning against a near by wall. "BITCH."
"I aggree." She said, looking over her shoulder.
"That bitch happens to be my date for the day." Yet another familair voice said as it approached them.
"For the day. Who knows how long it'll be before you get sick of her." Quisitis turned, glaring daggers at Seifer.
"Why Quistis. Is that jelousy in your voice?" He said with a cock smirk, as was his way. He reached out to run his finger under her chin. "Well, what she dosen't know won't hurt her."
Fujin quickly reached out and grabbed the blonds fingers, bending it backwards until he backed away from the blond beauty. "WILL HURT YOU." She stated matter of factly.
Seifer winced and tried to pulls his finger away from her painful grip. "C'mon, Fu. We're supposed to be a posse."
An angry growl came from her as she bent his finger back harder. "WERE! BETRAYED! LIED! LEFT!" Practicly throwing his hand back in his face, Fujin huffed and stormed off.
Quistis sighed and swated him in the arm. "Ass."
Selphie dashed out soon after, stopping to stomp on his foot. "That cause I just don't like you!" She called out as she ran after her two friends with their purchases in hand.
***
The door slammed hard as Fujin stomped into her room, walking to the near by wall and punching it stright on. She ingored the pain it brought, but couldn't ignor the fact that she had probably broken her hand. // If I never see him again, it'll be too soon!// She thought to herself.
"Bad day?" Squall asked, having been laying on his bed when she walked in.
She looked over to him, then hid her hand behind her back and held her elbow as if it were hurt. "SOMEWHAT."
Squall had never seen her look so embarrsed or timid. He stood and walked over to her, giving her a small hug. "What happened? Did someone try and do something to you?" He asked as he led her to his bed to sit down.
Fujin shook her head. " SAW SEFIER."
It didn't surprise him. He knew if she ver saw him again she be angered and mostly likely beat the man down into a heap of organs. "Did he hurt you?" Squall asked while taking her broken hand into his own hands, begining to mend it with a cure spell.
"NEGITIVE." Sighing, she leaned against him, tired and worn out from the days activities. "FATIGUE."
Nodding, he finished with her hand and pulled her into a hug as he lay down. //I'll probably run into him too before we leave. Rinoa too.// Squall sighed and looked down to the woman in his arms. //I just hope I can keep Fujin from killing them.//

And thats it. End of chapter 10. As you read this, I'm probably working on the next chapter for my other fic, so keep an eye out. And now, the moment you only clicked this fic is here. Ladies and gentlemen, TONBERRY! *people cheer*
Tonberry: *walks out and clears throat, adjusting his mic* Love and peace! *holds up a peace sign with his fingers* Love and peace! Love and peace! Love and peace!
