AN: Chapter 2 is up and running and whaaat, who is this person making his presence be known?! Yeah yeah, whether you like him or hate, I hate him, he is here to stay! As annoying as he is to me, I could not ignore the strange relationship he and Light had throughout the game so don't be so surprised with how this story turns out. :P

Hope you guys are enjoying it so far!

I do not own Final Fantasy 13, all rights belong to Square Enix. They wouldn't accept my fanfics as payment. D:

Chapter 2

"I wish you wouldn't press her buttons."

"Huh?" Her eyes shifted to the young male, taking a while for her to remember him. "Oh hey Hope. Didn't recognize you all grown up and whatnot!"

Fang ruffled his hair some only for him to step away. His eyes narrowed as he fixed his spiked hair.

"You really shouldn't get her mad. She worries about you and all you do is return and get on her nerves. Do you want her to dislike you?" Fang opened her mouth slightly, but was a bit taken back by the silverhead's words.
She cleared het throat some and grinned a bit. "Hey.. I'm not doing anything bad here. Just messing with her a bit. Here.. why don't you go keep Vanille company and I'll go and apologize?"
"No, why don't you just give Lightning some space and I'll go keep her company. Maybe she's had enough of you for the night. It was nice seeing you again, Fang."

The young male left, disappearing into the crowd only to reappear by the pinkette's side seconds later.

Fang was left speechless and wide-eyed.

Holy Hell.. when did the kid grow a back bone to step up to me?!

Fang stood and dusted at nothing on her blue sari. She imagined dusting away the slight shame the kid brought upon her.

Half an hour passed and Fang got impatient. Her eyes hadn't left the pair since. She saw the two talking on and on and on. Hope even chuckled at times. She hadn't even finished her second drink, abandoning it once it got warm. Her fingers tapped against the wall she leaned on. She had to make her move now! She didnt know if Hope had any feelings for the soldier, but Fang knew something fishy was occurring and she disliked it. Her stomach had a sinking feeling whenever Hope would get close to Lightning and whisper to her. The soldier's cheeks appeared slightly flushed as if whatever he told her was making her nervous.

What the hell is he telling her?! Dammit Light! That should be me sitting next to you. Not that little squirt.

Fang growled softly. Her viridian eyes narrowing on their target.

Until.. Hope left and Lightning seem to escape from where she sat. Fang blinked slightly. Many people started heading outside.

"Come on, Fang! Faaanng!"

Fang blinked when she looked down at a pulling hand, belonging to her orphan sister, Vanille.

"Where is everyone going?" Fang asked.
"Jeez, you must really be out of it. First you are late to the party, then I see you standing on the same spot all alone for what seemed like hours and now you don't even know about the fireworks show they have planned for us!"
"Ahh.. so thats it."
"What do you mean, that's it?" Vanille asked, she frowned looking up at Fang. "Is something wrong, Fang?"
"Now now, don't worry about me. Go have fun, alright?"
"But Fang.." Vanille whined.
"Go. I'll be alright." Fang petted her little sister's head. "Go.."

Vanille left with a nod. Fang's eyes scanned the area. Already many people infested the outside. Fang sighed unable to find Lightning. She went back inside, slightly crashing into Hope as he stepped out with rather.. strong drinks. She began to frown. She wondered if the drinks were for Light. The drinks flashed in her head again. Her brow rose as she smirked lightly, her frown vanishing.

Bad mistake Kid. You almost never take strong drinks like that to a lady, especially Light. Yeah, she'll act like she likes it, but in truth she'll just quietly grimace at the taste.

He said nothing as he kept walking towards a certain directions.

Maybe they want some privacy. . .

"Like hell imma let that happen!" Fang growled and slammed her fist on the bar, making Lebreau jump.
"Whoa.. calm down now. Can I help you with picking a drink to ease that anger?" She asked with nervous chuckle.
"Give me the girliest drinks you have!" Fang ordered slamming her fist again. "And lots of them!"

Lebreau nodded and prepared rather sweet drinks.

She's mine, Hope. I didn't get out of stasis to see a kid get picked over me!

"Here you go, Fang." Lebreau said.
"Thanks, Sweetheart." Fang said and took the drinks outside.

She followed the same path she saw Hope take, determined to split him and Lightning apart.
