A/N: Hey! Thanks to RoyMustangsBabe, jellybean-kitty, r, Kitsu Kurasei, and Psycho Demon Creature for reviewing! This story isn't going to be too long. I'm predicting 10 chapters at the most? Don't count on that though. It depends on my feelings on the days I write.

Eyes on You

Chapter 6

Rinoa was looking at the stars. She turned and looked to Squall, who turned toward her and smiled. Rinoa put her finger to her lips and Squall pulled her in and kissed her.

'I remember that,' Rinoa thought. 'The night we kissed.'

The scene changed and Rinoa saw herself and Squall. They were at Edea's orphanage looking at the flowers.

"The reason you couldn't find me is because we hadn't promised yet."

"Promised?" she responded.

"I'll be here waiting for you. If you come here, you'll find me. I promise."

"That too. What's going on?' Rinoa thought. This wasn't helping her at all.

The scene changed and Rinoa found herself in her room. Squall was laying beside a sleeping Rinoa. There was also a man in a black cloak in the room.

"You loved tonight, didn't you," the man Rinoa didn't recognize said.

"Who are you?" Squall said, getting up, slipping on boxers and a pair of pants.

"Don't worry as not to disturb her. It doesn't matter. I've sealed time anyway, so nobody can walk in on us. Nobody will ever know I was here unless you tell them, Squall Leonhart." The man spoke again.

"You didn't answer me. Who are you?" Squall's voice, strong, angry.

The guy laughed and walked toward Squall. "I'm someone very close to you. There's no need to show you now, but just to tell you, things are going to get rough from now on. I'm that little voice, you know, the one you hate, the one messing up your relationship with that girl."

Squall jerked forward and pulled down the guy's hood. What he saw was himself. A mirror version of his head. He gasped and fell to the ground in shock.

'Squall? What? What's going on? Does he have an Other too?' She thought again, confused.

"Surprised?" the guy laughed again, picking up Squall and forcing him to stand. "I'm what is called, an Other. She has one too. Along with all your little friends. I think their names are Selphie Tilmitt, Zell Dincht, Seifer Almasy, Irivne Kinneas, Quistis Trepe, and Sara Pasha."

"Others are created for people that have the power to change the world, people who can do extraordinary things. And it all starts with you."

Squall's "other" walked through the black portal that appeared.

The scene changed again, but not too much. Squall was laying on the bed, Rinoa asleep and then the guy appeared again.

"Nice show, Leonhart, nice show."

Rinoa looked at Squall who didn't respond until the Other picked him up and dragged him through the portal.

Rinoa then saw Squall and the Other were in a room Rinoa didn't recognize. It was dark however. Squall's Other spoke. "Squall, Squall, Feel any different, feel any evil?"

Squall was silent until his Other grabbed his hair and pulled it back. "Squall, time to kill."

Rinoa gasped. It was him! He was the one manipulating Squall! 'Squall... Why?'

"Yes..." Squall said, Rinoa looked toward him. His voice was... different. Lower and sounding a lot more evil.

Rinoa found herself thrown back into the room she started in.

"Ellone?" she asked the older girl. "Was... was.. was that Squall's past?"

She nodded, sadly. "Yes, it is. I had more to show you, but I can't show you. My powers aren't letting me!"

-

Squall's Other was watching Rinoa and Ellone. He laughed.

"Rinoa can't find out anymore about Squall's past," he said to Rinoa's other. "She's found out enough already. I'll just make things a little more interesting, shall I?" He grinned evilly at Rinoa's annoyed form.

"Squall!" Rinoa said, her hand on her hips. "Why? Why can't we help them? I like Rinoa... and Squall." It felt weird saying her own name, yet not talking about herself. She hated this. She and Selphie were the only two in the group who weren't trying to kill the real versions of themselves. They didn't want to hurt them, they wanted to help. But her feelings were still the same for Squall. It's not like she could help it. Rinoa and Squall's attraction to each other in the real world caused their feelings toward each other. She loved him, she really did, but sometimes she got sick of him, trying to ruin everything.

"Why can't we help them?" Squall said, mocking his lover. "Why can't we help them? Because it's either us or them. Your choice Rinoa, dear. Within the next year either they have to die, or we have to die."

"But-" she protested, but Squall interrupted, whispering into her ear.

"But what, Rinoa? Do you want to live? Do you not want to live in somebody's shadow? Do you want to be your own person, live your own life, happily with me?"

She shivered at the feel of his hot breath on her neck. He wrapped his arms around her and she shivered again. 'Don't do this!' She thought mentally. He always did this, wrapping his arms around her, swooning her with romantic thoughts.

"No!" she screamed at him, pulling herself out of his embrace.

"No, what?" he asked, in a mocking voice.

"Don't do this! We're their shadows, we don't have the right to live. But you're making it so we do, but taking them away from everything they know and have! It's not right and we shouldn't be doing it! All you are is a selfish jerk who only cares about yourself!" Her chest heaved up and down after she had yelled at him. She had said her feelings, and now she knew she was going to pay for it.

The look on his face turned from amused to angry. He grabbed her wrists and pulled her toward him. "What Rinoa? What the hell did you say?"

She winced as he tightened the grip on her wrists and breathed into her face. A tear started sliding down her cheek as Squall threw her against the wall.

"Never say anything like that again, you bitch!" he yelled at her. "I'm willing to forget it if you go along with my plan."

Rinoa nodded, another tear sliding down her face. As much as she didn't want to, she knew she had to.

-

Squall's Other made a plan. He was planning to make the real Rinoa fall in love with him. He looked in the mirror. He had changed himself, he didn't look like the real Squall. He still had the scar and the piercing blue eyes, but he looked a lot different. A black wig was placed over top of his untidy brown hair.

His plan, it was genius. He was going to run into Rinoa on the road, and swoon her. He couldn't let her go back and make up with Squall, then she would plot to kill them. Maybe not kill, but defenitly find a way to change things, to stop them.

-

Rinoa was running, the minute she had found out about Squall's past she was running toward the jail. Rain made her clothes stick to wet body, he hair plastered to the side of her head. You couldn't even tell that she had been crying, the rain had washed the show of that away. She had to see him, she just had to!

She felt herself collide with another person. She almost fell to the ground, but the person, obviously a man, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into him.

She looked up at the man that she had run into. "I'm so sorry!" she stuttered, pulling away from the man.

"No!" the man said, pulling Rinoa back toward him. "Wait a second, it was my fault. Why don't we go inside and get a coffee or something?"

"I really don't have time," she said again, pulling away from him again.

"I insist," he said. "Just come in and dry off, I don't want you to get sick. It'll only take a minute."

She struggled, but the man just pulled her inside the coffee shop.

"Sorry, miss, I just don't want you to get sick. Want a lift to where you're going?"

"No!" she screamed. She had to see him, it was killing her. She knew the truth and now she had to change things. She pulled away from him again, stopping to glance at him.

He looked strangely like Squall, the diagonal scar down his forehead, the piercing blue eyes, but something was off. He had black untidy locks that fell flat against the side of his face.

"Where..." she stuttered at him. "Where... did you get that scar?"

He smiled at her, a smile too familiar and that sent shivers down her spine. "I was in a car accident and a piece of metal pierced my skin."

A signal was sent to Rinoa's brain. He was lying. She could tell. Something told her to get out of there, but she couldn't.

"Can I leave now?" she asked, wanting to get away from the man. She couldn't shake off this feeling though, a feeling that made her want to puke. She was attracted to this man. She couldn't help it. There was something about him that made her want to kiss him, but she still loved Squall. Rinoa's heart was pounding in her chest. What was this feeling?

The man nodded and took Rinoa outside into the pouring rain.

"Well, bye," Rinoa said and started to walk away, until suddenly he pulled Rinoa into a passionate kiss. At first Rinoa didn't kiss back, but the kiss seemed so familiar that she forgot where she was. It felt like Squall and it felt like her first kiss shared with him in a long time. She pulled away before kissing back him back realizing what she was doing.

"What... was that?" she asked him. He just grinned Squall's smile and made her shiver again. He didn't answer, because Rinoa ran off.

-

His plan hadn't worked. How could his plan have been so flawless? He thought that she would love him right away, but it seemed like she didn't have anything for him. How could this be? Many thoughts ran through his head. She was supposed to love him. It was part of her DNA to love him. If she and Squall were really meant to be, she would like him because he was Squall's Other.

He threw off the wig to Rinoa, who caught it.

"Your "master plan" didn't work, did it?" Rinoa grinned evilly at him. She knew that it wasn't that easy. Knowing Rinoa and as stubborn as she was, she wouldn't give in for a long time.

End of Chapter

A/N: I personally don't like this chapter. But whatever. I want to know what YOU think. Okay? Constructive criticism is welcome. Very welcome. And I hope I didn't confuse anyone with the whole Squall-Squall-Rinoa-Rinoa thing. Sorry it's so short!
