Chapter 2: Meeting The One And Only
/The train bound for Deling City will be arriving shortly. Passengers please check your luggage/
Squall woke up groggily from the bed. Looking at his watch he walked to the bathroom. 8.50am. I'm supposed to meet them at 9.00am. I hope they don't send some bone-head to meet me there. Squall grabbed his personal belongings and began to walk out of the room. Moments later, the train came into a complete stop and Squall stepped out of the train quickly. He saw two soldiers who were looking around indicating their waiting for someone to arrive. Before long, they spotted him and began to walk towards him.
"Are you Mister Leonhart?" one of the soldiers asked. Squall nodded silently. "This way please." The three of them walked out of the railway station. Squall looked up to the sky and scanned the surroundings. So this is the city full of lives....Deling City.
"Sir, this way please," another soldier spoke startling Squall from him thoughts. Before long they were riding inside a limousine. The trip was a short one. Minutes later they finally arrived at the presidential palace. Squall stepped out. There was no one in sight.
"The president is expecting you inside the palace. This way please," the soldiers lead Squall in the presidential palace, down a hallway up some stairs before arriving upon a large door. "The president wants to speak to you personally. Through this door please."
Both of the soldiers walked away leaving Squall alone in the huge place. Letting out a soft sigh, Squall pushed the door revealing a large, beautiful room. Sitting calmly in the middle of the room, was President Caraway. He pointed to a chair indicating that Squall should sit down before any conversation is starting.
"So...you're Squall Leonhart?" Caraway asked right after Squall settled down.
"Yes, sir," Squall answered plainly. The room was filled with silence as Caraway eyed Squall quietly. So, he's the one. My, he looks so cold. I wonder if I made the right choice. Rinoa might hate him. Argh! He's the best candidate available Rin will just have to tolerate him more. After all, she's in danger now.
"You know you're protecting my daughter don't you?" Caraway asked.
"Yes, I know," Squall answered.
"There's been a group of people trying to threaten her life. I want you to give her your full protection and if it's necessary you may act against her order. That is also IF both of you are in a dangerous situation. Understand?"
"Yes, sir,"
My, can't he just say something more than that? "All right then. If everything is clear, you should get acquainted with my daughter then. She's down the garden. My secretary will lead you there in just a minute," Caraway began to pressed a button on the phone. "Quistis? Please come in for a minute,"
A minute later, a girl emerged to the room. "Any thing sir?" Quistis Trepe asked.
"Ah yes. Please lead Mr. Leonhart to the garden. Rinoa is down there right?" Caraway asked.
"Yes, she's down there. All right then, this way please Mr. Leonhart," Quistis lead Squall down to the garden. On the way, she tried to bring up conversations with him but no avail. She only succeeded to introduce herself to him. Not a friendly guy. I wonder how he's going to cope with Rinoa..
"There she is, Mr. Leonhart. Please follow me," Quistis walked to the garden with Squall following silently behind. Rinoa was standing with her back facing them. It seems that she was busy doing a little gardening."Miss Heartilly? There's someone I want you to meet."
Hearing this Rinoa turned towards Quistis and began to walk towards her. "How many times do I have to tell you to forget bout the formality? Just call me Rinoa!" Rinoa said upon reaching Quistis. Quistis just smiled. It's been three years since they first met and since then they were best of friends since Rinoa did not have any siblings.
"Miss Hea...I mean Rinoa, this is your bodyguard we've been telling you about. Squall Leonhart," Quistis pointed towards Squall. Rinoa smiled her angelic smile towards Squall.
"So, you're my bodyguard. Hi, I'm Rinoa. Nice to meet you," Rinoa extended her right hand for a friendly shake. However, being his usual self, Squall just nodded in response.
"I have some things to attend to so I'll leave you two to get acquainted. Good bye, Rinoa," Quistis bowed slight before disappearing back inside the presidential palace.
"How old are you Squall?" Rinoa asked innocently.
"...."
"Where do you come from?"
"...."
"Fine. Forget it," Rinoa sighed in annoyance. Great I'm having such a jerk to guard me? I rather be kidnapped than having him around. Rinoa walked a few steps around the garden before gazing back to Squall's eyes. At least he's good looking and god, I like his blue eyes. Rinoa giggled softly at her own thoughts earning glances from Squall. She quickly coughed to cover up her embarrassment but it was hopeless. Her face was blushing red.
"Do you want me to show you your room?" Rinoa asked not knowing anything else to ask other than that.
"My room?" Squall asked in an almost whispering voice.
"Um...of course you have a room. You're staying here for a while so you definitely need a place to sleep," Rinoa answered. Squall thought for a moment before nodding in agreement. Together, they walked back into the presidential palace. Awkward silence filled the air as they walk. Rinoa was feeling extremely uncomfortable with the silence but in the same time, Squall found the silence peaceful. After all he never actually liked to socialize with people. Finally they arrived at the top floor of the palace.
"There is only four rooms in this floor. The one at the end is my father's while the one on the left side is my father's study room. This is my room," Rinoa said while pointing to the room on the right side. "You'll be staying at the room at the other end." Squall nodded silently. Damn it! Why can't he just open up his mouth?!
Rinoa sighed in defeat. She was starting to wonder how she's going to withstand him. While she was wondering, Squall took his luggage (it's only a bag. I don't even think he stores more than ten pairs of clothes.hehehehe...) and walked towards his room.
"Hey, wait up!" Rinoa ran in order to catch up with him. I thought he's suppose to be guarding me but instead here I am trying to serve him?! Oh Hyne! I feel like killing this guy!!!
