[Moving slow]

Chapter four

Early the next morning after the struggle tournament I sent a letter to Sora, casually asking if he knew a Seifer. I had just dropped it into the mailbox when I heard the beanie clad boy's voice over the roar of the air conditioning in the post office. Instantly I left the back door. I wanted to avoid him right now. Might be due to the fact that the four of us had met up with him later the previous day and the fight had been far more brutal then ever. He was really, really angry. The curious part was I had no idea what for. Well that wasn't true. I knew what for, but it was because I couldn't remember him from a previous event therefore he was mad at me. Go figure. Shrugging it off I turned the corner and saw Seifer threw the window throwing a letter in the mailbox with an odd look on his face. Fuu was with him and seemed concerned. She placed a hand on the blonds shoulder but he shook it off and shot her a half hearted smile.

"Too weird." I said to myself walking down the street opposite to home. It would be another couple of weeks before school; maybe Sora would be able to confirm some facts before then. I sat down on a bench and racked my mind. I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before as every time I closed my eyes I saw the elder's angry face. The worst part about all this was that ever since that day I had been feeling a sense of Déjà vu. I wasn't sure if it was just Seifer playing with my mind, or if his words were to make me try and remember stuff and that I was forgetting.

"Hayner?"

I looked up, instantly I nearly fell out of my seat. Fuu was standing above me. Her eyebrows were arched and she had a sort of lopsided smile. But she had a sort of compassionate look in her visible eye that really did not fit her. My eyes widened and I looked around ready to run in case I had to run for my life. She shook her head and added "Alone."

"What do you want?" I asked looking at the pale blue-ish haired girl. "You goanna pound on me too?" I asked as she said nothing and was looking at me with an interested look.

"Seifer" Was all she said. I groaned. Talking to Fuu was like talking to a fortune cookie. She said ten words in one. However some of them made all the sense while some stated facts but you didn't know what to think about them.

"What about him? I know he's pissed." I said. She shook her head. She almost looked like she wanted to scream at me. "What I don't know is what I'm supposed to remember, I've never met him in my life, maybe he's got the wrong freakin' person." I heaved looking at the girl. She bit her lip and sat down next to me. Okay, now I was scared. Sitting next to Fuu was scary on its own, but she didn't talk normally and holding a conversation would be hard enough. Maybe I should just walk off.

"Five years" Was all she said.

"What?" I asked back. I looked at her now, but she was looking at the ever present twilight shimmering in the building.

"Scar." She said. It was like playing a guessing game. I was about to tear my hair out.

"His scar? What does he knowing me have to do with his scar? I didn't cause it." I said frustrated. She rolled her eyes and finally looked at me.

"Sora, Car." She said as though she was trying to get me to understand. Now I was confused. At least I got two words from her. Not that it helped. I shook my head and ran a hand threw my hair. So Fuu knew Sora too. What else was going to happen? Were they relatives of Sora, and were just playing with me. Or was this now Sora's idea of a joke if he was related to Seifer, if only Sora knew that Seifer was breaking my nose.

"Fuu!" A voice called from around the corner. It was Rai, judging by the harsh street punk accent.

"Got to go." She said standing up and jogging down the street. Three words. That had to be a record.

Luckily Rai never saw me and I was guessing I was to keep my chat with Fuu a secret. Standing up I began walking home. There were so many things I wanted to ask her, but Fuu would never say more then she wanted. It was no wonder Seifer has her on his team. She'd never back sass him. Rai is too stupid to realize he was a bully and Vivi….well Vivi is just Vivi.

Home was far less interesting. Dad wasn't home yet and Mom was out with her co-workers. Walking up the stairs to my room I remembered something. Fuu said "Scar" but that didn't seem right.

"Uh huh? Then how the hell did you get the scar?" I said looking back over my shoulder, but the pain hurt in my face so I turned back. I never saw the face he made. At first he didn't even answer, just walked behind me quietly.

"Might tell you one day." It was all I heard

I had asked him that weeks ago. He never gave me an answer. He wasn't mad at me then. He only had laughed. Then why was he mad at me now? And why was Fuu telling me about his scar? Ugh it was frustrating and it made my head spin. Ever since the tournament yesterday I had been feeling like I forgot something and to be wholly honest it was starting to piss me off. If I saw Seifer in the next few days I was going to corner him and demand an answer.

However my wish never came. In the coming three weeks I saw no eye or ear of Seifer. It was as if he had left the plant completely. So I spent the last few full weeks of summer with Roxas, Pence and Olette. It was nice; no fights and skateboarded everywhere. Turns out Seifer went to visit his uncle who lives in Radiant gardens. I wouldn't have cared really, if I hadn't gotten that letter back from Sora.

FLASHBACK

I walked down the street to the post office, four days after I sent the initial letter. Not really expecting a letter that soon. Yet I opened the P.O. Box and instantly grabbed the one of four envelopes in the box. On the top sprawled in his messy as hell handwriting was my address and two stamps of Pouou fruit.

I grabbed it and sprinted out of the office and to home. Three blocks away. Inside the door I dropped the other three onto the kitchen table and ran up to my room. Why I wanted to read this in private I didn't know, all I knew is that the paranoia I would have, thinking someone was reading it over my shoulder was too much, and I was also a little afraid of opening it.

I tore open the envelope and let the letter fall into my hand. Unraveling it I was slightly disappointed to see that it was kind of short.

Hey Hayner,

I'm kind of surprised to get your letter. Well to start off. Things are doing great here. It was raining the other day and Riku's boat got trashed so we spent the day fixing the thing. School starts in a week. You're going to miss a great year with "Mr. Shitface" Lucky. - . - Glad to hear things are going well. You're going to have to teach me Struggle when you ever get your ass over here to visit. Though I suppose that might have to wait till spring break. It sounds like fun.

On the subject of Seifer. I don't know it it's the same Seifer, but you remember my Brother right? Leon? Well do you remember five or so years ago when he visited and brought his friends Cloud and Seifer. I mean I don't know for sure it's the same Seifer……I mean if it is, he did save your sorry ass…..I really am sorry about that. But that was a long time ago. And they were only here for like what? A week? Maybe.

I don't know if that helps, but it can't be the same Seifer right. I mean, from what I've heard he wouldn't be bulling you. Sorry man. I don't know. I'll call Leon later and find out.

Sora

P.S Kairi and Riku say "Hi"

I sat in the living room looking at the letter again. Olette had once asked if it wouldn't be easier if we called instead of wrote, but I then had to explain that my family ran on cell phones and didn't own a home phone and that it was pricy to call a long distance. Plus it felt more secretive to write. Like we were planning something. I had responded with a Thanks and said hi back to my friends….but after I had gotten the letter Seifer had gone to visit his uncle….His uncle who lived where Sora's brother did. If it was the same god damn Seifer….Five years ago, Seifer saved me when Sora had decided at the age of ten to take the car for a test drive. It had all clicked after that. Fuu said five years ago? The scar Seifer had gotten after the car hit both of us and I ended up in the hospital with a broken leg and forearm. Seifer had been kept as one whole person, but his head had gotten hit and I guess that, it had been that moment when he had gotten the scar.

He wouldn't have bothered to tell me about the scar the first time. Maybe he thought I was joking. Maybe he fought with me because he thought I was pretending not to know who he was. Then weeks ago. He snapped and realized I had forgotten. I had never placed one and one together. I had only known Seifer for a week, I was ten. I hadn't connected the name. The others and I never spoke of it much and Sora rarely talked to his brother. It was just something that had faded into my memory. But now it was fresh and to be plainly honest. I felt like a douche bag. If Seifer had not been there. My brains might have been one with the pavement. I had forgiven Sora a long time ago…but I never got to thanks Seifer. I was out cold in the hospital when he got to go home. And they kept me there the night to get the cast so I missed their flight back.

It all made sense now. Seifer was the 11 year old punk who I never said thanks too. And now. He was my arch rival. My only dilemma now was what to do when he came back. He was undoubtedly still going to be angry at me. Do I just say sorry for not remembering and giving very late thanks? Then continue like nothing ever happened, or do I just let it go and deal with him like I would any other bully.

Too bad letting it go was really hard. I couldn't get it off my mind, to be frank I felt guilty. But it had been a long long time ago. I wasn't to be expected to remember every person who saved me from a speeding car. Not the best example. I'm sure many people remember the face of someone who saved them.

Shaking my head I finally gave up and called the only person I think would know how to help me make a decision. I slipped my hand into me pocket and pulled out my phone, already dialing the number of one brunette who had all the answers.

"Hello, is Olette there?"

"Hayner?" I heard the female voice say from the other end. "Hey how are you?"

"I'm doing good. Hey Olette, you remember what I told you about Seifer?"

"Yeah, I also remember what Sora told you in that letter. Is it the same Seifer? Right? It all matches."

"I'm positive it's him. Any ideas?" I asked hopefully into the phone.

"About what?" She asked back. She coughed on the other end and I waited till I was sure she was listening.

"About what I should do about it. I mean I don't think I should just go on like I really don't remember."

There was a pause at the other end and I was sure she hadn't heard me and I was about to repeat myself when she spoke again.

"Well you should go tell him you remember, at least then you might still be alive by the end of the school year. I heard my dad talking to one of our neighbors who works on the school board and he was talking about all the budget cuts and the plan about combining some of the classes together. And I'm sure you'll end up in some of Seifer's classes." She said. "I'd just say sorry and hope it works. If he's still mad, you'll just end up fighting like always and things won't be worse or better."

"Wow, 'Lette, never thought I would hear you praise fighting." I said slightly laughing.

"Yeah well. Maybe you're saying sorry will make it all better and their won't be fighting at all." I heard her say, both out of annoyance and part hopefully.

"I don't think that will happen. Long ago or not, we're rivals now and no petty "Sorry' is going to change that.

"I'm sure. Hey Hayner I got another call. I'll talk to you later okay. Remember school starts next week." She said happily.

"Whatever. Thanks Olette." I said. She gave a small bye before I heard a click and the ended the call. Now that was left was what to do when School started and what to do about Seifer.


Thanks again for reading. I promise I will update faster. ^.^ Please review. It helps bunches.
