Author's notes: Phew! I'm finally having a break from my test. A pure bliss
from heaven; two days break. So anyway, here I am typing another chapter
for this fiction. Actually I've never thought I will be serious about this
fiction but before I knew it I started typing and don't want to stop. I
want to convey my thanks for those who reviewed. Last but not least thank
you for reading this chapter.
The leader's mastermind
"What?! They got both of Abs and Luke? Damn those two bastards! Didn't I tell them to be careful?!" Luxter, the leader of the anti-government gang fumed in anger. He was having a meeting with his followers when one of them reported the failure of Abs and Luke to him.
"What are we going to do now? They had tightened up the security of our target. It's almost impossible to kidnap her now," Mark, one of his most trustworthy followers asked.
"I know. Thanks to those idiots! Told them to be careful and now they screwed up!"
"And...."
"And what now Mark?!"
"According to the information I obtained, it seems that Abs and Luke almost succeeded if it is not for the bodyguard of that Rinoa Heartilly," Mark explained slowly.
"Now who is that ass?!"
"Squall Leonhart sir!"
"In that case, screw him! Find someone to assassinate him too!"
"All right sir and sir?"
"What now! Geez, you're pissing me off!"
"Abs and Luke had apparently disclosed your identity to the police,"
"......In that case, send them to meet the Devil too. They are no longer useful," Luxter said cruelly earning a few groan of annoyance and disapproval from his followers. "Silence all of you! Now this is what you will get for betraying me! As for the mission to kidnap that Rinoa, HE shall go."
All eyes were averted to the shadow behind the leader, Luxter. Gasp were heard when the man in the shadows revealed himself. He is no doubt the best assassinator available, named Kiros.

"How many times do I have to tell you stop talking about him?" Rinoa grunted in annoyance. Quistis laughed softly before proceeding to sip her tea. Both of them were having a tea break on the garden of the presidential palace when Quistis started to ask Rinoa about Squall who was busy walking around the garden. Apparently the rumors of Squall and Rinoa had spread quickly on the presidential palace thanks to the president himself.
"Aw, come on Rin. Tell me something, anything. Say the process of him saving you from the kidnappers. I think that is very romantic. Seifer never did something like this before," Quistis giggled.
"What so romantic about getting hit on the head twice and falling into unconsciousness? Besides, , I do not have any special feelings towards him. Last but not least of course Seifer never did it cause you're safe and sound! Don't tell me you want to get kidnap too?"
"Of course not! I'm happy with everything that is going on right now. By the way, I noticed something," Quistis said.
"What thing?" Rinoa asked dully as she looked towards the greenery in the garden before she spotted Squall. She quickly averted her gaze to other place as she heard a teasing cough from Quistis.
"No special feelings huh? Anyway back to the topic. As I was saying I noticed something. Some small changes that in my opinion have a lot of effects on you,"
"Yeah right. What changes?" Rinoa asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"That bodyguard of yours is not that cold anymore compared to when he first came. Don't you notice for this whole week, he followed you closely, and attend to your needs. He acted more like your boyfriend more than your bodyguard. I guess time does changes everything," Quistis stifled a laugh.
"Cut it off Quisty! Since when did he act like that? He is still the big meanie as I see it and no time doesn't change anything!" Rinoa was blushing deeply.
"Yeah sure. Whatever. He's a big meanie all right. But the meanie that you love," Quistis laughed and stood up to avoid Rinoa from hitting her head. "Oh look at the time. I got to go back in or else the president will start nagging. Bye!" With that Quistis jogged back to the presidential palace leaving a blushing Rinoa deep in her thoughts.
"He's a big meanie all right. But the meanie that you love," those words rang through Rinoa's head as she gazed dreamily at Squall who was still walking around the garden but in a slower pace. "Weird. Why must I blush every time Squall was mentioned? He's just my bodyguard and nothing else. Not to mention that he's also a meanie," Rinoa mumbled under her breath before coming to a sudden halt. The word 'meanie' had once again reminded her of what Quistis told her. Quickly, she knocked the thought out of her mind and stood up only to hear a question.
"You're going in?" Squall asked once he saw Rinoa getting up. She turned her head towards him and gazed longingly before smiling and shaking her head no. Sensing that something was not right, Squall approached her.
"Are you all right?" He asked shortly.
"I'm fine. Here, have a seat. You have been walking around for quite some time now," Rinoa pushed a chair towards Squall as she sat back down. Squall nodded silently before sitting down beside her. Silence filled the air as Rinoa could not find the right topic to talk with Squall while he himself was clearly not the type who would strike up a conversation.
Minutes had passed and Rinoa found that she was still stirring her half-cup tea boringly as Squall had apparently lost in his deep thoughts again as he sat on the chair with his arms folded and eyes closed. Time passed boringly before loud gun shots were heard outside the presidential palace shocking everyone including Rinoa and Squall.
Squall quickly stood up and brought out his two revolvers as he walked beside Rinoa and scanned the area for any sudden attacks. However, no attacks came leaving everyone in confusion.
"Let's go and check out what happened," Rinoa pulled Squall towards the front of the presidential palace. They arrived shortly but they did not see anything as soldiers were already grouping themselves up and surrounded the presidential palace. Rinoa walked to the middle of the compound where she found Caraway and Quistis.
"Oh Rinoa. Thank god you're all right. Did you hurt yourself or anything?" Caraway asked anxiously.
"No dad. I'm all right. What happened?"
"It seems that someone tried to raid in to the presidential palace but apparently a mysterious guy managed to stop them just in time," Quistis explained. The surroundings were very noisy each and every conversation hard to hear.
"So who is this guy?" Rinoa asked in a loud voice.
"Who what? Oh you mean who's that guy? No one knows. He left before anyone sees him but he did left a note saying something like careful of sudden attacks and something like that I didn't really read it but he did wrote his name clearly there. Kiros," Quistis answered.
"Who is this guy?" Rinoa asked.
"Well no one knows anything about him and....." Caraway's sentence was cut short when an explosion was heard making almost everyone to collapse to the ground. The impact was so strong that stone statues in the area broke and the stones were scattered injuring several people.
"Protect the president!" A lieutenant shouted. Soldiers quickly surrounded the president and took out their weapons in defense as ten soldiers went and investigate what happened.
"Is everyone all right?" Caraway asked as he slowly stood back up to the ground.
"I think so," Quistis replied as she too, stood up and dusted the debris off her skirt. Rinoa was panting heavily due to the shock the explosion gave her. She was lucky that Squall managed to cover her when the explosion happened.
"You all right?" Squall whispered to Rinoa. She nodded slowly as she tried to regain her composure. Once she regained her composure, she tried to stand up but she noticed there's a weight crushing on her. She blushed furiously as she noticed that Squall was still lie on top of her covering her from the explosion.
"Um, Squall? I need to get up now. I'm all right now," Rinoa said only to hear some painful groan from Squall. "Are you all right Squall?" Not answering her question, Squall stood up but fell back down on the ground hitting his head on top of Rinoa's lap.
"Squall? Squall? Dad! His head and arms are bleeding!" Rinoa shouted in panic. Hearing this, Caraway and Quistis rushed towards both of them.
"He broke his left arm. Oh dear, he got a deep cut on his forehead. Quick, call the doctor!" Quistis shouted.
"Didn't you hear what she says? Get the doctor now!" Caraway shouted angrily making the soldiers to rush out to get the doctor immediately.
"Squall? Oh, please be all right?" Rinoa choked on her words as tears streamed down her face. Gently, she stroked Squall's hair and forehead only to get her hands covered in blood. "Please don't die, Squall," Rinoa pleaded in tears as Caraway and Quistis looked on helplessly.
Hyne knows what will happen to Squall.
