Disclaimer: I still own nothing, not final fantasy, not Square Enix and especially not any of their character. But never mind I may not have given up complete hope so who knows god is good and the devil is always looking for souls so mayhap one day I'll do a deal with one or the other.
A/N: ok firstly sorry for how very long its taken me to update this story, I had another story ongoing which I kinda neglected and while fixing that problem I created another one. Anyway I will rectify both mistakes and promise to update this very very quickly from now on. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read and especially to all those who reviewed. To sion0083, Cerulean Crystal, DC-Desperado, Sjsilver and Zellycat thank you all so very much. As always thanks to Alex and Hannah for keeping me sane. Please continue to read and review your feedback really is much appreciated. Ok here we go chapter 4. Angel and Devils.
Angels and Devils
Squall drove the dark sedan back to his appartment, he hadn't bothered to report the deaths of the grim twins beside he had more pressing issues on his mind.
(why had she helped him) he thought as he brought the car to a stop a few streets from his apartment.
The beautiful woman filled his mind with so many questions that even someone like Squall Leonheart who had often been accused of thinking too much, found it hard to stop himself.
(Why, Who, and more importantly where is she) flowed through his mind as he exited the vehicle.
As he walked towards his apartment he took the mobile phone from his pocket, quickly dialling the number to Ma Dinchts he asked to speak to Zell.
"Whassup" Zell's unmistakable voice practically shouted as Squall was put through.
"Well the Grim twins won't be a problem anymore" Squall began
"Somebody snuffed them out just before they had a chance to do the same to me" Squall added quickly.
"What the fuck, who, where. What the hell happened" Zell asked his anger getting the better of him.
Squall proceeded to tell his friend what had happened and how the fact that he now owed his life to a beautiful assassin. Zell for his part listened to every single word and it made him angrier and angrier.
"That bitch has crossed the line this time" Zell said suddenly.
"Your telling me" Squall joked.
"Squall man, I have even more bad news for you" Zell said.
"Ok" Squall said wondering what Zell was about to tell him.
"My sources tell me that Biggs and Wedge aren't the only ones who were given a contract tonight"
"Who" Squall asked (so there's more coming for me) he thought to himself as he waited for Zell to answer.
"I'm not sure, it's some outside professional" Zell said.
"Ok, I think maybe me and a certain ex cop need to have some words" Squall said.
"Oh no you don't, that bitch is mine" Zell said angrily before adding.
"You watch your back man, Fu would never forgive me if you…..well you know" Zell said.
"Don't worry, I'll see you on the flip side brother" Squall said as he raised his fist in the air.
"Yeah on the flipside" Zell said as he mirrored Squall by raising his own fist.

Quistis Trepe former detective second class of Garden Heights and now leader of the largest mob gang in the entire city got slowly up from the bed. The man had already left and Quistis was glad of this, these encounters while extremely pleasurable always made her feel a bit scared. Which for someone in Quistis's lofty position was something she hated with a passion. She picked up the robe and walked from the bedroom and into the large office to answer the ringing phone.
"What" she said as she picked up the phone.
"I told you not to send amateurs after Leonheart" the man said angrily.
"What the hell are you talking about, Biggs and Wedge aren't amateurs" she replied angrily.
"Right now Leonheart is probably in about a thousand little pieces" she continued.
"Quite the contrary my dear, quite the contrary" the man said.
Quistis listened as she was told that not only was Squall not dead but the men she sent for him were at present lying in pools of their own blood.
"I'll get someone else. I'll bring in a whole freaking army to kill that sonofabitch" Quistis said her annoyance clear.
"Forget Leonheart, I'll deal with him, you have other things to worry about" the man said.
"It's all in order, that tattooed freak wont know what hit him" Quistis said and smiled at the thought of getting rid of the one obstacle to total control of Garden Heights underworld.
"Don't fail me again, you don't want to see my dark side" the man said as he hung up the phone.
Quistis shuddered as she put the phone down, as much as she loved the man she had been talking too and as much as she felt he loved her too. The last thing Quistis ever wanted to see was Seifer Almasy's dark side.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zell looked at the half naked woman beside him, she was asleep and in the shallow light of the room, to him, there was no sight that was more beautiful. As much as he relied on her counsel he found that he didn't quite have the heart to wake her, so as quietly as he could he left the bed. Creeping silently from the room he glanced back and smiled before mouthing the words I love you as he closed the door. He walked into the large living room and picked up the phone on the desk, quickly dialling the number to Ma's.
"Put me through to Rajin" Zell said to the woman who answered.
Despite the fact of what he had found out from Squall there where still some things that Zell wouldn't change for the world, one of these being his usual sojourn home from the club with Fujin.
"What's up don't ya know" he heard Rajin say to the young woman.
"It's the Boss" the woman said quietly as she handed him the phone.
"Whassup" Rajin asked immediately at attention.
"Round up as many of the boys as you can and have them meet us at Ma's" Zell said.
"We going out tonight" Rajin asked the excitement clear in his voice.
"Yeah, we're gonna put that bitch in her place once and for all" Zell replied.
"About time don't ya know" Rajin said.
"Damn right, when your ready bring the car around" Zell said.
"And hey, watch your ass ok" Zell added as he hung up the phone.
He heard the door of the bedroom open as he put the phone down and looked up to see Fujin standing there wrapped in a sheet from the bed.
"Worried" she said as she walked towards him.
"Hey no need babe, I'm going nowhere" Zell said as he took her in his arms.
"Love" Fujin said as she kissed him softly on his lips.
"I know, I love you too Babe" Zell answered as the kisses became more passionate.

Squall reached the alley beside his building and took his car keys out as he walked to the black mustang. Opening the door he reached under the seat and took out his backup gun, the cougar felt good in his hand and even though he usually preferred his old school wilson, he sometimes missed the feel of the cougar. Closing the car door he placed the gun in his belt and checked around the car to see if it had been tampered with. When he was satisfied that it hadn't he began to get in only for the second time that day to find himself surprised and knocked out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rinoa watched as Leonheart was tied up for the second time that day, reaching into her bag she once again got ready to help if needed. She looked as the oriental man threw water on the detectives face.
"Wake up" Squall heard as he felt the water hit his skin.
"I said wake up, I prefer to see the eyes of the men I kill" Odine said.
Squall groggily shook his head and looked at the small man in front of him, he cursed himself as he examined the man who had so easily snuck up on him.
Rinoa looked on and raised her rifle, for reasons she couldn't explain to herself she felt she must again help this man. As she pressed down on the trigger of the rifle and waited for the inevitable loudness of the shot she found to her horror that the magazine was empty. Cursing her stupid mistake she felt around and realised that she hadn't reloaded since earlier that night. She looked on as the oriental man took the large knife from his pocket and felt her heart race as she remembered that her ammo was in her car.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squall felt the blade in his shoulder and despite the pain he felt he made no sound, he watched as the oriental stared at the blood with an almost reverential look on his face.
"I will hear you scream before this night is done Mr. Leonheart" Odine said as he punched Squall in the jaw
"You want me to scream" Squall said as he spit the blood from his mouth.
"Well unless you play some rap music that just aint gonna happen" he added as he smirked at the man.
Despite the seriousness of the predicament he was now in, he felt that his best chance out of this would be to provoke this man into losing some control. He could still feel the cougar against his hip and the fact the man hadn't unarmed him gave Squall some hope.
"Very funny Leonheart, let's see if you find this as funny" Odine said as he raised the knife and once again drove it into Squall's shoulder.
Rinoa raced as quickly as she could into the small abandoned building, in her heart she felt that if she didn't get their quickly then it would all be over for the handsome detective.
"I tire of this, goodbye Mr. Leonheart" Odine said as he realised that this man wouldn't give him the satisfaction of screaming out.
Squall saw as the oriental raised the knife and waited for the man to move closer, he had managed to loosen the ropes that held him and just needed a few more seconds before he would be free. He felt the rope finally fall from his hands and hoped he wasn't too late, quickly moving his hand for his gun he realised he would be.
"Nooooo" a woman's voice screamed forcing the oriental to turn around.
Squall saw the woman in blue run towards the small oriental, he saw she was unarmed and was impressed with her bravery. He also saw the oriental reach into his pocket for the Heckler and Koch and knew the woman's bravery would cost her, her life. Moving quicker than ever he took his own cougar out and fired at Odine hitting him in the shoulder.
"How" Odine shouted as the bullet hit him and forced him to turn to what he had thought was a bound and incapacitated Squall.
He raised his mp5 and got ready to deal with what he now knew was the more immediate danger.
"Easily" Squall said as he fired the cougar again hitting the man in his forehead.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squall quickly removed the ropes from his ankles as he looked at the beautiful woman who was standing no more than five feet in front of him. He could clearly make out every feature in her face and found that he had been wrong earlier when he thought she was just beautiful. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and as he looked at her he thought he could see what looked to be relief in her face.
"You….Your ok" Rinoa said the relief clear in her voice.
"Yes, I think that's mainly due to you" Squall said.
"I think you would have been fine without my help" Rinoa said a small blush on her face.
"Maybe, maybe not, so thanks" Squall said.
Rinoa smiled at him and turned to walk away before turning back and looking at him once again.
"Your welcome" she said.
"And your under arrest" Squall replied as he stood up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: ok so the end was a little annoying I mean come on she saved him and he wants to arrest her. Anyway how will Rinoa react, what are Seifer and Quistis up to and Zell is about to go to war. So tune in and see what happens in the next chapter and again please let me know what you guys think it helps you know.
