Feeling tension so thick in the room she could probably cut with her sword Quistis went on inside the carefully closed the door, she slowly scanned the room for Rinoa but couldn't find her lover anywhere … "odd" she whispered as she continued inside "what's so odd dear?" a voice sounded that almost made Quistis jump out of her skin and she turned around to face a very peeved looking Rinoa "Rin let me explain" she started but what cut off by Rinoa "No, no more excuses about being too mad to face me or that you don't want to talk about it, you are always telling me to open up to you but you never do the same!" she exclaimed and Quistis remained silent "God Quistis speak to me! Tell me something! Anything! Because at least Squall let me in after a while! He showed me something even if it was a little part of him that let me know how he was feeling but-" she didn't get to continue because Quistis cut in "Squall this and Squall that! It's all I hear from you and everyone else! You want to know something Rinoa I'm not Squall, I will never be like him! And as for not showing you apart of me, you have to realize something It's hard for me to open up to someone I love" her voice was getting lower and Rinoa was listening so closely.
Quistis took a breath before continuing on "Rin the real reason is … is" she couldn't look at her anymore so she looked at the floor instead "I'm scared Rinoa I mean really scared I've never felt this way about anyone before and I don't know how to act around it, It's so hard to be open when I've been alone for 15 years in here" she pointed to her heart and the next thing she knew Rinoa was hugging her and kissed her lightly and Quistis finally let go all her frustration and cried holding onto Rinoa for dear life.
After what seemed like hours they broke apart "I'm so sorry Quistis I …I didn't know" Rinoa said while staring into Quistis' eyes that seemed to take on a lighter shade of blue and Quistis just smiled and kissed her lightly. Rinoa backed away and looked at her lover noticing she was pretty banged up and had various splatters of stuff covering her and raised a brow "go shower" she said and Quistis smirked "you joining me? Considering you look just like me, and true to her word Rin looked at herself and groaned in disgust "I just showered too" she pouted "well now you get me as an added bonus" Quistis said winking at Rinoa who in turn faked thinking about it "oh I don't know really, hmm" she said walking into the bathroom and Quistis fallowed her in. they started to get undressed, and through there dirty cloths in the hamper and Quistis turned on the water as Rinoa got out the bandages and antiseptic and set it all down on the counter, then joined Quistis in the shower.
(N/A: Sorry it's a little mushy but hey it's all good right….right?)
After their shower Rinoa applied the antiseptic to the wounds and was being as gentle as possible but noticed the white knuckle grip Quistis had on the counter and hurried up so this would be all over and done with, she didn't like the feeling of hurting her lover or her lover hurting at all it gave her a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. "Ok all done" she said with relieve clearly in her voice as she wrapped some wounds and then they both headed to there bedroom, and getting there night cloths, Rinoa wore a soft cotton large night shirt and panties and Quistis wore comfortable silk boxers and loose shirt. They got into bed and snuggled up to the other falling asleep in each others arms.
The next morning
Alarm bells blared to life scaring the whole Garden to awakefullness, Nada's voice booming through the speakers "RED ALERT! INSTUCTERS 1-5 ESSCORT CADETS TO SAFE ZONE, THE REST OF YOU SeeD AND INSTRUCTOR REPORT TO THE QUAD, THIS IS NOT A DRILL I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL" and the alarm balls kept ringing, Quistis and Rinoa where already half dressed by the time the announcement was over. Pulling on there shoes and stumbling out the door hazardously with there weapons and heading off with the throng of people rushing to the Quad.
"Quisty!" the voice sounded off to there left and they looked over to see Selphie and Irvine coming up to them as they neared the Quad, "what the hell is going on?" Quistis yelled over to them as soon as they got to the Quad a bunch of SeeD almost stumbled down the stairs but there good training saved them from falling and being trampled.
The saviors of the world made it up to the front and saw a very worried Cid and Squall standing there, Cid spoke up first "We have discovered information that Galbadia is planning an attack on our Garden" that one statement caused an uproar of swearing and angry shouting and yelling. But suddenly a sharp turn caused almost everyone to fall and Nada's voice through the speakers once again "Battle stations! There trying to ram us!" he said and another sharp turn the other was causing the remaining teens that were standing to topple over.
Squall was up and yelling out commands to all Seed and Instructors who were running around to do what he asked "Irvine get to sniper point B and Zell you get him up there! Then join us back at the front" both guys nodded and took off to the elevator to get Irvine to the sniper point. "Selphie round up all the magic users and Rinoa go with her to get the heavy hitters, then set them up in a mix at the front" they zipped around the remaining people and went to do there task.
Squall sighed "Instructor Bram get the Headmaster to the Safe Zone and take 10 SeeD with you guard him and the cadets, if some slip by us got it!" he nodded and 10 SeeD fallowed him to the safe Zone taking the Headmaster with them. Squall turned to the rest of them "ok now we go to the front lines we cant let any of soldiers past us, Ellone go to the sniper point B and be our eyes ok" she went off and then the whole bunch fallowed her out, rush out to the front lines.
Quistis P.O.V
My heart was hammering in my chest as we were running to the front entrance of the garden but we only made it half was when the first swarm came at us, and we charged, I didn't have my blade out yet but thanks to Zell I was wearing a pair of spiked gloves and rammed my fist into a soldiers nose and felt the bone crack. He stumbled back and I gave him a nice solid punch to the gut, he fell in a heap but my victory was short lived as some idiot shoved me hard his intent was clear but I blocked his advances with a kick to his head, he fell too. I was hearing random shots go off and bodies dropping but more and more soldiers piled in like a never ending flow but I stopped thinking and drew my sword running through the throng of soldiers cutting them down on after the other over and over.
No ones P.O.V
Irvine was reloading and shooting taking down one soldier after the other, but he too noticed that there seemed to be no end to this, he spotted some soldiers ganging up on his fellow Seed and took them out, but then ducked when he say a soldier looking his way, took aim and took him out "Thanks Elly" he said and she nodded to him.
Seifer was like Quistis, running through the crowd, punching, kicking and slicing his way through, he got to a certain point where he thought this would never stop; he knew he needed a break or he was going to collapse from this constant onslaught and he know many of his friends were feeling this too. He caught sight of Squall and made his way to him but a painful blow to the ribs made him stumble and just when the soldier was about to fire his gun, lionheart was shoved through his gut killing him instantly. Squall cast curaga on Seifer and kisses him "hope that helps" he whispered and Seifer kissed him back "more then ever" and they went there separate ways fighting the enemy off better then before.
Zell and Selphie were kicking loads of ass but even with Selphie's amount of energy she was slowing down a little. Spinning around and catching a man in the face he stumbled and she wasted no time wrapping her nun chucks around his throat and twisting sharply breaking it and watched his body crumble to the floor. Zell was delivering punch after punch and the body count was rising, he cast curaga on both him and Selphie and a few SeeD that really needed it before getting back into the fray.
Rinoa was now at Quistis' side using her magic on the enemy then suddenly the soldiers retreated, the casters cast healing everyone they could, Quistis felt re-energized and so did everyone else but worried still. Suddenly they heard something big and they all looked at the huge gun thing in front of them "charge it!" some random person yelled and the battle started up again but this time the enemy was guarding the gun.
Quistis called upon Shiva and hoped that if they fired they would be able to block it. Charging up with Rinoa they tried to get to the gun to stop it before it went off, "we only have one shot! Make it count!" she heard the same guy yell "oh shit, EVERYONE GET BACK!" they listened and got back, Irvine and Ellone floated down to where the group was and Quistis called Shiva just as the gun went off, a purple blue black beam shot out and hit Shiva dead on, Quistis tensed up as she felt the pain from Shiva travel to her but then Rinoa's eyes started to glow white and she used her sorceries to some how deflect the beam back to the gun, pushing the thing through the hole, obliterating the guards and the beam hit the Galbadian base, sending it out of control.
Shiva glowed then vanished as Quistis fell limply into Rinoa's arms "Quistis!" Rinoa called, Squall was there in a flash along with the rest of the group, and Quistis' body was pulsating a soft pale blue. Rinoa's eyes returned to there original color but they were soon filled with tears and fear because Quistis didn't seem to be breathing, with her skin like ice and her limp body and Rinoa whispered as she held her lovers body close "Quistis come back to me"
