Something to See
Chapter Two
Zidane's POV
"Daggs," is all I say. She squeezes so hard so I can't breathe. Man, I thought I could hug pretty tightly. Dagger lets go of me and smiles a little.
"Zidane, I'm really flattered and I really love you a lot. But… we can't get married," she says, tears forming in her eyes. I'm shocked and I don't say a word.
Dagger continues, "Zidane… I don't know what to say. All I can say is that…I'm sorry."
'Yeah' I think. 'So am I… for everything I've done to deserve this.' I give her a half-hearted smile.
"Don't worry 'bout it Dagger. That's okay," I say. 'What am I thinking? I'm just a looser thief who doesn't deserve to love a beautiful queen. Man, I gotta get out of here.'
"Daggs… I hate to leave you here but I have a…thing to do," Dagger gives me a kiss and says to go back to Alexandria with her on the airship but, by then, I've sped off in the other direction. Suddenly, I have this weird sensation in my body. Then, it felt as though my legs stopped running. They did. "What the-?" My legs started running again but I wasn't controlling the movement. Someone else was…
Dagger's POV
I have done the thing that I have most regretted. Telling Zidane no. But…something in my heart told me to say no. At least for now…but I still, and always will, love Zidane.
"He told me that he had to go somewhere. But where?" I was talking to myself. The answer was clear though. 'Really smooth Dagger, you just broke Zidane's heart.'
Nothing that I did would make a difference right now so, I sang.
"Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark, for traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart-!" I suddenly hear a yell. Was that Zidane? I run towards Choco and follow the footprints in the snow.
Then, a few feet away form me was Zidane on his knees, clutching his head. "Kuja! Get out of my head! I thought you were dead!" Zidane started to calm down a bit and he stopped yelling. I run over towards him.
"Zidane? What's wrong? Are you okay?" I help him get up.
Zidane wipes the snow off his pants and rubs his head. "Thanks Dagger. You wanna know what happened there? Kuja's still alive and he was controlling me for a sec!"
"Kuja was…controlling you? Didn't he die in the Iifa Tree?" I ask.
Zidane shakes his head slowly. "I dunno, maybe he can speak into my mind. Like Garland." he says. You're correct.
"WHAAAT! Kuja? How'd you…never mind…" Zidane smirks. "How'd you survive?"
Simple. When you protected me in the Iifa tree, I managed to stay alive and cast Curaga on myself. I look at Zidane. "You did that?" I ask surprised.
"What can I say? Kuja's my bro!" he says sighing. "Though I didn't know I'd help him survive. So tell me…what do you want?"
