Chapter 6- Friendship


After many days of Squall and Rinoa's meeting they had become very close and couldn't go a couple of hours without seeing each other. They got along fine and even their creatures they had made even went around with each other to see their habitats.

Squall had been on the beach where Rinoa and Angelo lived waiting for her one day like he usually did. He looked up to the sky and breathed in the air, thanking any one that he could that he had met someone that he could have a civilized conversation with without judging him like Griever did all the time.

Squall heard a bark from behind him and he turned around, seeing Angelo run toward him at full speed and Rinoa close behind carrying some food for her creatures.

Angelo ran up to Squall and jumped on him, licking his face and wagging his tail in excitement to see Squall. "Hey…down girl…" Squall said, lowering Angelo to the ground carefully.

Squall looked up to see Rinoa smile while walking up to him. The familiar feeling that he usually had hit him again, he didn't know how to explain it or how to tell her about these feelings.

"Hi Squall!" Rinoa said as she put the basket of food down on the floor for her creatures to eat.

"Hi, did you go to the forest for that?" He asked pointing at the basket getting ripped to shreds by her creatures.

"Yes, why?" Squall shrugged and then stretched.

"I could have helped you that's all." Rinoa smirked and walked past him to sit on the beach, he followed her and sat beside her, watching as the water wet their feet.

"I really like you coming here Squall…" Rinoa whispered looking away from him, feeling her face burn up just from simple talk.

"I do too. I feel that I can talk to you about everything, I'm not judged like I am with Griever…" Rinoa looked to him and nodded.

"Believe it or not, I'm judged by Angelo too. I don't tell her though; she might think she has the upper hand over me."

"I doubt that. You're her master, she can't over power you. That's what I need to keep reminding Griever. He acts like the big guy toward all my other creatures, especially this snake that I have. They look at each other and I need to stop a fight."

"A…fight?"

"Yeah, it's where two people that don't like each other start hurting each other. Griever and Snake don't really like each other that much, so they fight each other all the time."

"My creatures don't fight. I made them not grow up to believe in such foolish fighting."

"That's very good of you, it's just a shame I didn't think of that when I made them…" Squall frowned.

"Don't blame yourself; it was hardly your fault." She said placing her hand on his shoulder in comfort. He looked up to her and then to her hand, feeling that fluttery sensation in his stomach again. The weird thing was that he only felt it when he was near her or being touched by her. If it was just a brush of both their hands or she put her hands on his shoulder he would get that weird feeling, he just wondered if she felt that same way too…

"Rinoa…?" He whispered taking his eyes of her hand as she put it on the sand between them both.

"Yes Squall?" She asked turning her head to look at him with her beautiful brown eyes that captivated him.

"When were together…do you get a fluttery feeling in your stomach?" Squall asked blushing. She must think he was nuts for asking such a stupid question.

"That's so weird. It's exactly the feeling I get, but what is it?" Squall shrugged and moved to sit in front of her.

"Do you think were coming down with something?"

"Coming down with something?" Rinoa asked completely clueless. Squall shrugged and wave of a hand he dismissed the idea.

"I don't know what to call it, but every time I'm around you I get this really weird feeling…" Rinoa nodded in agreement, she knew she wasn't the only one to have this feeling. She knew that he got the feeling too, but the thing they had to do now would be find out what it was…

"Oh I almost forgot I found this big hole near the place where I was picking food."

"A big hole?" Squall asked bewildered. Rinoa stood up and grabbed his hand, the feeling shooting through her body again but she shrugged it off.

"Come on!" Rinoa began to pull him off his feet and into the forest behind the forest without telling Griever or Angelo…

In the deep forest…

"Um Rinoa do you know where your going?" Squall asked still being dragged through endless tree's by the hyper Rinoa.

"Yeah! I remember now…this way!" She said pointing to a clearing in the wood. Squall followed…well because he had to really.

Rinoa walked over to a large bush and pulled it aside to reveal a large hole in a large rock. "What?" Squall said walking toward the rock and putting his head in the hole.

"Be careful Squall…" Rinoa whispered still holding onto Squall's hand as he walked in slowly; Rinoa followed him in slowly keeping as close as she could to him as possible.

She felt herself turn cold as she couldn't see the entrance to the cave anymore; she could only hear both their footsteps and both their heavy breathing. "Hey! Up there!" Squall shouted before running away from Rinoa.

"Squall? Where did you go?" She asked feeling the rocks around her for him, when she didn't feel him or hear him she began to worry and her breathing kicked up.

"Boo!" She heard a man shout behind her loud in her ear. She jumped and fell to the ground with a hard thump, her heart beat hitting hard against her chest.

"Ha! Did I scare you?" She felt man's arms wrap around her body and lift her up, her body was pressed hard against his chest and she began to breathe heavily again.

"Squall?"

"Who did you think it was?" He began to laugh, still holding her tightly.

"I…don't know…"

"Are you ok?" He asked letting go of her petite body.

"Yeah, I'm ok now…" She began to chuckle herself and then walked in the direction he took before he pulled his little joke. They walked for a couple of minutes until they came to another light at the end of the tunnel.

"What's that?" Rinoa asked holding onto Squall's arm, she felt him shrug and continue on. They came to the light and walked out to find that they were in the same clearing that they started out in.

"Huh? Didn't we just start here?" Squall asked turning back to the tunnel.

"Um did we take a wrong turn?"

"No we went the right way."

"That's weird… I don't want to go back in there." Rinoa let go of Squall and began to walk back into the forest.

"Are you scared of it?" Rinoa stopped and turned back to him.

"No… I just want to go back to the beach… if you don't mind?"

"Nah, come on. I bet Angelo and Griever are worried anyway." Rinoa and Squall nodded and began to walk toward the beach where in fact Angelo and Griever were waiting for them. Oh and they did get a telling off…by their own creatures…

But nothing could help them from laughing; together Squall and Rinoa were still best friends even though they could not explain the feeling they both had when they were together. Only time would tell them of this feeling, just how long would it be until they found out?
