EverShadow: TIGER!!! That's not the intro.
Tiger of Blackness: So?
EverShadow: The intro is supposed to be a disclaimer followed by a short statement.
Tiger of Blackness: Too hard. You do it.
EverShadow: Fine! I'm glad all you reviews appear to like Seifer and I's personality…Next chapyter people!
The Start of What?!
I awoke with a pounding headache. I had dreamt that Seifer had returned and wanted to help the Garden. I sat up and yawned. It was five in the morning, time for me to warm up by fighting in the training area. My sleepwear was just a peach color consisting of a button up top and loose, silk pants. When I entered the bathroom, I looked into the mirror and jumped at least two feet into the air. I whirled around, my eyes blazing with fury.
"SEIFER!!! Just how long have you been there?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. He put a finger up to his mouth.
"Shh. You'll wake all the other students in the Garden. I've been here long enough to see you sleeping like an angel and long enough to hear you talking in your sleep." He winked at me.
"I do not talk in my sleep! Get out of my room!!" I didn't bother to lower my voice. He opened the door and exited but not before saying,
"It appears to me that you're afraid of the socks burning in the oven. I wonder what else you were dreaming about…"
"OUT SEIFER!!!" He closed the door behind him. I went into the bathroom and washed my face with icy cold water. I had dreamt about when I was young. It was winter and I wanted to warm my feet up so I stuck my socks in the oven and tried to warm them up. The socks had caught on fire and I had fallen asleep. It had been Seifer who had woken my up and saved me. Seifer…that jerk…he had saved my life once but then tried to take it numerous times afterwards. Now what trick was he trying to pull? I took a shower, (cold as well) and got dressed by 5:30. When I exited my room, Seifer wasn't there. I silently wondered where he had gone. He was supposed to be stalking me but he wasn't there. How had he gotten into my room? I shuddered at the many possible ways that he could have done the job. I walked out of my dorm and into the hallway. That's when I saw Seifer, he was reaching for his gunblade. There was a child sitting on the floor crying.
I ran towards him, grabbing my Save the Queen at the same time. Before I could reach him though, Seifer had handed the kid…a lollypop? The child stopped crying immediately and reached out to take it from him. The child was no more than ten years old, probably one of the new students in training. It was typical for a new student at that age to cry because being separated from parents was not easy. I hid from sight and watched as Seifer lifted the child up on his strong shoulders and smiled.
"Let's get you back where you belong." He said and the child laughed. Seifer walked past my hiding spot and towards the dorms. He disappeared momentarily and came back. I stood up.
"Instructor! I didn't see you there!" He said giving me a smile.
"Since when do you carry lollypops in your pocket?" I snapped.
"Why can't a guy enjoy a lemon lollypop once in a while?" He asked innocently. I fumed silently and walked towards the Training Area. "Do you need my help in fighting?" I whirled around.
"I never, ever needed your help and I never will." I hissed as quietly as possible. I went into the Training Area and searched around for something to take my anger out on. I felt a tap on my shoulder. "I though I told you to GO AWAY!" I turned around and saw a terrified Selphie.
"Quisty?" She asked. "Are you always so angry in the morning? I just wanted to say hello…"
"I'm sorry, Sephie, I thought you were someone else." I said giving her an apologetic smile. She looked around.
"I don't see anybody." She said.
"Of course you don't. He has an uncanny ability to appear wherever I am and disappear when I'm about to yell at him." I replied bitterly.
"Zell?" She asked.
"I wish. It's Seifer, he's come back to the Garden to try and make up for his mistakes." I sighed a bit and put on a smile. "It's hard to believe isn't it?" She shook her head.
"Not really. I believe he's really turned around for the better. Of course, there might be another reason why he returned." She looked at me mischievously.
"And what would that be?" I demanded.
"The Trepies have been circulating a rumor that he returned to see you. I overheard Rinoa saying that she and Squall saw you and Seifer…"
"That's not what I wanted to hear." I muttered darkly. "If I ever see Rinoa, I'm definitely going to teach her to keep her mouth shut. As for that rumor, he might want to see me but he's the last person I ever want to see again." I found a T-Rexaur and cast aura, determined to make the monster suffer for the actions of Seifer. The nerve of the Trepies and Rinoa! Now people would think that Seifer and I…I cast Shockwave Pulsar, doing around a 32,009, about enough to kill the poor thing. It still wasn't enough. Seifer had taken Ellone, hurt everyone in the group, served Ultimecia until his end and now he was to be forgiven? I had to take my anger out on something stronger. I needed to find the Omega Weapon again.
I walked out of the Training Center. The Garden was just coming alive with students walking in and out of the different places. Most of them were already rushing to the cafeteria to stand in line for hotdogs. I bumped into someone.
"Ow! Oh…I'm sorry…" I looked up and saw Rinoa. "Quistis! Good morning!"
"Yes, good morning to you too." I said. This was my chance to tell her that she had assumed wrong and that spreading rumors wasn't a responsible thing to do. She looked around.
"Where's Seifer?" She asked.
"I don't know and if you ask me, I could hardly care less. I need to see the Headmaster. I'm going on…" I thought about saying a vacation but that wouldn't be right. "I'm going on a hunt for something." She brightened up.
"Really? Can we come with you?"
"No, this is something I must do on my own. Otherwise I'll never be able to feel as though I accomplished something." I replied.
"Is something wrong?" Squall asked.
"Ah, Squall. I would like to request a week's leave please." I asked.
"What about Seifer? You're supposed to be keeping an eye on him." He replied.
"I'm sure you'll find someone to take care of him." I replied.
"No, I can't do that. Everyone's afraid of him. If you're going to leave, then you have to take Seifer with you." I clenched my fists but I held back my anger.
"Is there something wrong, Quisty?" Seifer came up beside me and glared at his rival. I shook me head.
"No but we're going on a little hunt." I said to him as darkly as possible.
"Really? When do we start?" He asked.
"Now." No one understood my need to destroy something powerful. No one but I knew that if I didn't do something quick, I might very well explode…
Tiger of Blackness: Ooooooo That'll be interesting seeing Quistis explode.
EverShadow: Yes, won't it be amusing?
Tiger of Blackness: Are you really going to make her go completely insane?
EverShadow: No.
Tiger of Blackness: Really?
EverShadow: Yes. EverShadow signing off.
