Chapter One
My Name
All was quiet in Garden as a group of girls watched the Lonewolf walked into the library hallway.
"Hey! Where's that girl from Deling City? Isn't she usually with him?"
the girl looked at her friends.
"Who knows." The second girl looked at the retreating back of the Wolf.
"Yeah, and why is he going to the library? Isn't he always where Almasy is?" the third girl turned around and then jumped back.
Once inside the library, Squall headed towards the back of the room to fond Rinoa Heartilly. To his surprise, although he didn't show it, she wasn't there. When he turned around to leave, she jumped in front of him, causing him to fall into a chair.
"Scared you, didn't I," Rinoa smiled. "Squally?"
"...the hell? Squally?" he looked at her, a look of complete disgust and surprise was shown in his face.
Rinoa looked at him, tears shown in her eyes. "You.... don't like it?"
Squall shook his head. "No! I-I like it, I do. It's just.... no one calls me anything but...."
"But what? What do they call you?"
"Nothing. Just 'Squall.'" (If only you knew, Rin. If only you knew.)
He looked towards the door and saw Fujin and Raijin enter, with Seifer trailing behind.
"Rin?"
"Yeah?"
"Take my hand," he looked at her and saw her surprise.
She nodded and took his hand.
They were nearly to the door when Raijin met them and blocked their way.
"Hey Squall! Where are you going?" he laughed and then a sharp pain rose up his leg. "OW!! Fujin?!
Fujin ignored him and waved Seifer over.
"Squall, Rinoa." Seifer walked over, a smile on his face.
Squall let go of Rinoa's hand and reached towards his gunblade. "What do you want, Seifer?"
At seeing Squall reach towards his weapon, both Fujin and Raijin reached and pulled theirs out.
Seifer then waved a hand at them to put their weapons away. "Guys, c'mon. Can't we just talk and not fight?"
Squall put his gunblade away and then straightened up. "Knowing you, it's going to be about Rinoa."
"What are you? Psychic? "Seifer laughed and then looked back at Squall. "Well, of course it's going to be about Rin. Why else would I be...here?"
(Who knows and who cares.) Squall glared at Seifer.
"Does she even know what nearly everyone calls you?" he laughed.
"Squally?"
"Rin, do not call me that right now. I really mean it," Squall continued his glare at Seifer. "And don't you tell her, Almasy. If you do, I will kill you."
"Oh now would you, Wolf?" he then laughed, this time Fujin and Raijin joined in.
(Wolf?) Rinoa watched as Squall's face changed his emotions.
