Sisterly Love Chapter 8: A Friend From The Past
Lightning finally managed to fall asleep and was relieved to find that she did not have to visit that hellhole she had been lately. He finally realized that I need a good nights sleep to get his
stupid crystal Lightning thought. After a while she abandoned the prospect of trying to sleep again and decided to get some fresh air, the blue eyed woman looked around her to find
that Serah was in bed already and so was Fang. She stood up silently and made her way out of the tent, when the cold air hit her Lightning shivered I guess a short skirt isn't proper
attire for the cold night she thought to herself.
"Excuse me young lady but I believe your supposed to be in bed resting." Fang's sudden voice made Lightning visibly jump, the mention of her wound made Lightning notice how sore
it actually was. "Oh Fang you caught me off guard there." Lightning said walking over to the woman.
"Yeah right I scared you have to death." Fang teased as the two women took a seat beside each other by the burning fire. "So whats on your mind?' Fang asked.
"Nothing." Lightning responded quickly automatically raising suspicion on Fang's part.
"Than why don't you tell me why you always shake frightened whenever you sleep." Fang countered Lightning's answer.
"I don't, I'm just cold that's all." Lightning said hesitantly. Fang stared at the younger girl making Lightning shift uncomfortably under her gaze before finally cracking.
"All right I'm lying I have been hiding something." Lightning admitted looking shamefully down at the ground.
"What is it?" Fang asked looking intently at Lightning.
"Well have you ever...seen a Fal'cie?" Lightning asked the older woman.
"No." Fang said shaking her head.
"I have." Lightning told her the secret she had been hiding the whole day, Fang's eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at Lightning.
"Really! what do they look like?" Fang questioned inching closer to Lightning.
"Terrible..the one I saw was a giant spider." Lightning said flinching in remembrance of the beast.
"Oh yeah that's right your a little arachnophobic aren't you?" Fang asked seeing the girl's uncomfortable shifting at the mention of the creatures, Lightning just nodded quickly.
"Sorry then." Fang said pulling Lightning into a one arm hug, "So what were you up to young lady?" Fang asked smiling as Lightning looked away.
"Nothing, can't a girl get a little fresh air?" Lightning said scowling at Fang.
"Maybe if that's all you were out here for. But knowing you that's not it." Fang stated grabbing Lightning's chin and turning it to face her.
"Now tell me what were you doing." Fang said seriously still holding Lightning's chin in place so she couldn't look away.
"Alright big sis." Lightning said with a smile "I was going to try and find something." Lightning admitted staring at the ground.
"Okay what was it?" Fang asked.
"A crystal the Fal'cie requested." Lightning answered still eyeing the ground.
"You know what that means right?" Fang asked knowing the answer.
"Yeah I'll be crystallized." Lightning said looking up at Fang, who just nodded slowly. "But that's not what I intend on happening." Lightning continued speaking quietly.
"What do you mean?" Fang found herself ounce again asking a question I'm surprised Lightning hasn't snapped yet she thought looking at Lightning.
"I'm going to kill it...the Fal'cie." Lightning said coldly looking hard into Fang's eyes.
"Little sis you can't do that alone." Fang said surprised that Lightning thought of going alone that was suicide.
Snap! the snapping of a twig brought their attention back to their surroundings to find that they were absolutely surrounded by the PSICOM. Then the shadows of three people
made their way to the light of the fire to reveal the three people Lightning, and Fang did not want to see since their stints in PSICOM. They were Jihl, Yaag, and Cid Rayne*.
"Well what have we here." Jihl spoke with a smirk as the soldiers closed in around them in a circle.
"Keep quiet and surrender without a fight and we'll let your friends live." The man named Cid spoke as Lightning stood up.
"Now now my little kitten don't try anything it won't work." Jihl spoke as Lightning realized she left her Blaze Edge in the tent, she then felt her hands being thrust into manacles behind her
back. "What do you want Jihl?" Lightning snarled as Fang then stood up with her spear in hand.
"Oh Lightning you already know what I want right in case you forgot I want you and as you can see I won't stop until I have you in my arms." Jihl said smiling, Lightning shivered at this.
"You bitch!" Fang snarled as she lunged towards Jihl and swiped with her spear but Jihl dodged it and went to strike but Fang broke her spear in two and started swinging at her.
"Ah!" Lightning's cry of pain brought Fang's attention to her and stopped her assault.
"That's right Fang you better calm down or we'll hurt your 'little sister' real bad." Jihl warned her as she walked over to Lightning pulling her hair to force her head back, ounce more
Lightning cried out. Lightning was on her knees looking up at Jihl who knelt down and planted a long kiss on Lightning's lips.
"Mmmph!" Lightning's eyes widened as Jihl explored every inch of her mouth with her tongue. After what seemed like a while Jihl finally pulled away leaving Lightning dazed and confused.
Fang watched Lightning for a while then was surprised to see the dazed girl fall forward unconscious, Fang's eyebrows went up when she saw this, as Jihl walked over to her.
"Your turn." Jihl said moving in to kiss Fang who backed up with every step Jihl took.
"Uh uh I don't think so if you want to knock me out I'd rather take a shot to the head." Fang said while backing away from Jihl.
"If that's what you prefer." Jihl said and a second later Fang was struck in the head from behind by Cid Rayne*, as Fang crumbled to the ground Jihl picked up Lightning, while Yaag
picked up Fang and they led them into a airship that was parked on the wide path a few kilometres away from their makeshift camp. Ounce inside the ship Jihl, and Yaag placed
Lightning, and Fang in a cell and tied the unconscious women up.
"Now so I won't have to put of with your yelling when you come too, I'll just put this in here." Jihl said placing a fairly large red ball on a leather strap into Lightning's mouth and
locked it in place and with that they left the room leaving Lightning, and Fang alone and unconscious.
Serah awoke in the morning to find that neither Lightning, or Fang were in the tent with her maybe their already up she thought to herself as she climbed to her feet.
Serah walked outside to find the others already eating breakfast but Lightning and Fang are absent.
"Hey Serah are Light, and Fang-Fang up yet?" Vanille asks.
"Their not out here?" Serah asks confused as Vanille shakes her head no. "Their not in the tent either though." Serah says scratching her head.
"Their probably out hunting or something no need to fret." Sazhsaid takinga bite of...something.
"Arrgh." Fang awakes with a groan and lifts her pounding head to look around and notices that she's in a cell and that an engine is humming on an airship huh Fang thought as she
twisted her sore body to see Lightning tied up a few feet away from her also bound but with a ball gag in her mouth. Fang smirked Lightning's going to be pissed when she wakes up
she thought as the headache became more apparent to her. I'd rather take a shot to the head... what the hell was I thinking? she cursed herself fighting to get into a sitting position.
Fang looked over at Lightning to get a better look at her, Lightning was still out of it asleep or unconscious whatever Jihl's lip gloss did to her and she's tied at the wrists and ankles
with her arms behind her back and her luscious juicy pink lips wrapped around the glossy red ball gag in her mouth. After another half hour of sitting there trying to get her hands free
Fang noticed Lightning finally coming to. "Mmmm." She moaned opening her eyes to see a bound Fang across from her, Lightning's eyes widened as she looked at herself.
"Gmmf." She growls looking to Fang who's having a hard time suppressing a laugh. "Mmmph!" Lightning growled at her, eyes flashing that told her to shut up with her eyes.
"Alright alright Light I just find it funny." Fang said laughing, and Lightning gave her a quizzical look.
"Because you have such a big mouth and always have a smart ass remark for everything but now you can't say anything without humiliating yourself." Fang said erupting in laughter.
Lightning responded by pouting around the ball in her mouth. "So it's been a long time since we've seen Cid huh?" Fang asked the gagged girl, Lightning nodded in response.
"He's got a gun blade of his own now huh." She continued as the door to their cell opened.
"Good morning you two it truly is nice to see you gals again." Cid greeted the women quickly as he walked in.
"I wish we could say the same." Fang said glaring at the man who chuckled at her response.
"Yeah I bet you do but Light can't say anything now can she?" He mocked Fang's answer as Lightning glared at him as he walked over to the strawberry blond and tilted her chin back
so she looked him in the eye. Lightning's blue eyes flashed with anger, as Cid pulled at her lip and began stoking her face and petting her hair.
"Oh you don't even know how much I missed you." Cid said to the younger girl "We used to be such good friends...I was actually going to ask you out that one night at your house."
Lightning was putting her work stuff away in her locker when she felt someone tap her shoulder, she turned around to see Cid smiling at her.
"Hey Cid." She greeted him smiling as he brought her into a hug, Lightning laughed at how intimate he was with her.
"I'm coming over to your house for dinner tonight." He told her as he let her go to continue putting her stuff away, Lightning turned back and locked her locker and turned back to him.
"Whatever you say prince charming." Lightning smiled at him as they left the locker room and went to the parking lot.
"Need a ride?" He asked her seeing she was about to walk home.
"Actually yes I do Serah's got the car today." Lightning said as Cid ushered her to his car, the two got in and Cid pulled out of the parking lot and took her to her house.
"Nice to see Serah didn't even come to pick me up." Lightning said upon seeing their car in the driveway.
"Take it easy on her she's only seventeen." Cid said as the then twenty year old Lightning walked to the front door and unlocked the front door with her keys.
"I always take it easy on her." Lightning stated opening the door and stepping inside followed by Cid.
"You got a nice place." He said looking around Lightning, and Serah's cozy home.
"Serah! are you home?" Lightning called out to her younger sister, who came running down the stairs and embraced Lightning in a hug.
"Big sister!" She said excited that she was home, after what seemed like a while she pulled away. "How was your day? oh hey Cid." She asked looking up at her then to Cid.
"It was fine y-" Lightning was cut off by Serah.
"Are you staying for dinner?" She asked Cid who nodded at her. The three made their way into the living room where Serah flopped onto the couch and patted the seat next to her for Cid
to sit which he did. Lightning went upstairs and down the hall and entered her room through the last door on the right and threw her duffel bag on her bed. After a few minutes she
came back down the stairs wearing a loose long sleeve black shirt with white floral patterns on the front, she was also wearing form fitting blue jeans with white sneakers, and she was also
wearing her pendant that she never took off because it was a gift from her mother.
"So Serah how was your day at school?" Lightning asked her sister who was watching some teenage drama show.
"It was great first I had gym then we went on a field trip for the rest of the day, and I need you to sign this because your my guardian...they said I was skipping." Serah said making a face.
"Well did you?" Lightning questioned putting her hands on her hips.
"NO!" Serah said offended "You know I would never do anything like that!" She said standing up.
"Alright alright I believe you I'm sorry." Lightning said putting her hands up in her defense. "Here let me sign that." Lightning said grabbing the paper and scribbling her signature on it.
Ding! then the door bell rang and Lightning went to answer, she opened the door to see Snow standing there with a smile on his face. Despite being older than her he still dated her little
sister. "Hey Snow." She greeted him as she sidestepped to let him in he returned the greeting by pulling her into a crushing bear hug. "Ah!*cough* Snow let me go *cough* it's nice
to see you too." Lightning said struggling in his grasp until he finally let her go. "If you hug Serah like that you'll paralyze her." Lightning told him rubbing her back for emphasis.
"Sorry you alright?" He asked slapping her on the back which earned him a glare from the twenty year old.
"You really are stupid." She stated crossing her arms looking up at him.
"And you really are short." Snow said jokingly as he started walking for the livingroom. "Is my baby hear?" He asked Lightning.
"Yes but I've got a question." Lightning told him as Snow stopped.
"What is it?" He asked as Lightning took a couple steps closer to him.
"Um well I'm younger than you by I don't know five years is it?" At this Snow nodded he was twenty five and she was twenty. "So I'm just curious as to how you and Serah met." She finished.
"Duh we met through friends Light." He told her, Lightning nodded before saying.
"Sorry for asking I was just curious." She said as they walked to the living room. After dinner the four of them sat watching t.v with the lights off Snow and Serah were on the couch and
Lightning and Cid were on the love seat Cid was sitting while Lightning was laying against him with her head on his chest.
"Lightning..um..I'm going to ask you a question if that's alright." No answer Cid took her silence as a way of telling him to keep going like she often did. "So um I was wondering if you would
like to be my girlfriend." He asked but still received no answer he then looked down to see that she was fast asleep. He sighed and picked her up and carried her to her bed and tucked the
younger girl in and smiled as he saw her snuggle into the blankets.
"And I never got the courage to ask you again." Cid explained as Lightning's eyes softened upon hearing his story it was true that if she had been awake she would of said yes.
"I still haven't gotten over you Lightning and I never will so if you ever feel the same way just come and see me." He told her as Lightning's face turned a shade of red than went beat
red when she noticed that she was drooling from the gag inhibiting her from swallowing, Cid chuckled as he wiped it away and hugged her as Lightning thought over what he had said.
