A/N I may not totally like Rinoa but that doesn’t mean my characters feel the same way, meaning they don’t really hate her. Enjoy this update!
The dog had been taking a normal doggy stroll when it came to the body of some girl, lying in the alley. "Arf." The dog nudged the girl again, crying when it got no response.
"Nala, where are you, girl," an older woman’s voice called out? The owner of Nala came into view, her eyes widening at the sight of her dog whining over the body of a very injured girl.
"Good Heavens, Nala," the women ran over to the dog and the girl, falling to her knees. "Miss." She placed her hand on the girl’s neck, feeling for a heartbeat. Nothing. "Oh Hyne!" The women’s eyes started to water. "Not again."
Nala barked, upset that her owner was crying. "Nala." The women whispered, patting Nala on the head.
Taking out her cell phone, the women dialed the police.
Seifer got up off his bed and walked over to his boyfriend. He looked where Zell was looking and sure enough about three squad cars were entering the small town of Balamb.
Turning around to face Seifer, Zell gave him the cutest worried pout, Seifer had ever seen. His bottom lip was jutting out, slightly quivering with fright. "You don’t think that . . . "
Seifer gave the younger blonde a small smile, and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Chin up, Zell. You don’t know, it could be anything."
Zell nodded, cutely bitting his bottom lip, "yeah, but I’m worried about Ma."
Understanding Zell’s feelings, Seifer pulled him into a gentle embrace. He started to rub circles into his back. "Don’t worry, love. Even if it is the killer, your mom has nothing to worry about." Seifer smirked, tilting Zell’s chin upwards, so he could look him in the eyes. "She’s for sure NOT a virgin, hmm."
At the thought of his mom doing something with someone else, Zell got a sick looking expression on his childlike face. "Ewww, I don’t want to think about that."
Seifer laughed, hugging Zell tight. "But I’m right, aren’t I?"
Zell stood on his tippy toes, giving Seifer a peck on the nose, "yes." Zell smiled, "it’s a gross though, Ma with some . . . ewwww, but it does make me feel better."
Seifer ran his hands through Zell’s blond strands, just enjoying the feel of it. "Good! Now kiss me."
‘Gladly," Zell purred, standing on his tippy toes again, but this time meeting Seifer in a very loving kiss. Zell smirked into Seifer’s mouth, deciding to get sneaky. Zell reached both hands out and grabbed Seifer’s butt, giving it a nice firm squeeze.
"Yeaw! Zell," Seifer pulled away, laughing. "Horny?"
"That buddy, was payback."
"Payback?"
"Oh, don’t play innocent with me," Zell said, wagging his finger in front of Seifer’s face. "You remember. Lunch. Xu. Hand. Crouch."
Seifer blushed, "oh you mean when I tried to feel you up, when Xu came to talk to us about . . . um," Seifer scratched head, thinking, "you know, I wasn’t really paying attention."
"Cause you were too busy teasing me! She was talking about Rinoa being missing."
"Oh was that all."
Quistis laughed at her girlfriend, shaking her head, "upset hun?"
"Oh whatever gave you that idea?" Selphie pouted, putting her laptop away. She had been in the middle of a very juicy fanfiction about herself and her friends. The things people at this garden write about. She came across one where they wrote about her being in love with Raijin. RAIJIN. Where do people come up with these things?
The two quickly left their room and headed for Cid’s office.
"What were you reading?"
"A fic where Zell confessed his love to me, and you went on a killing spree cause you secretly loved me too, but I didn’t want you. But then I did and we . . . " Selphie laughed at the ‘what the heck’ look that passed over Quistis face. "I know, I know, it’s nuts, but they write pretty nice . . . um . . . er lemons." Selphie blushed.
Quistis gave Selphie a confused look, "what?"
"Oh no! I’m not explaining it, if you don’t know what it is." Selphie shook her head, "nah uh, no sire."
"If you don’t tell me, I’ll just ask Irvine."
Selphie gulped. Irvine for sure knew what it meant, and he’d have no problem telling Quistis. "Fineitmeanssexokayareyouhappy?"
"You know, I didn’t understand one word you said."
"She said something about sex," Seifer said, coming up behind the girls, Zell at his side.
Quistis made a face . . . "oh . . . OH!" Flushing she looked at Selphie, "someone wrote a erm . . . sex scene with us in it!"
"Just what are you girls talking about," Irvine asked, him and Squall joining them on their walk toward Cid’s office?
"SEX," Seifer exclaimed, causing a few heads to turn their way. "They were telling us all the best . . . "
"No, WE WEREN’T, YOU PERVERT," Selphie yelled!
Zell bit his lip to keep from laughing.
"Okay what were you really talking about," Squall asked, looking slightly amused?
Quistis flushed, "lemons."
"Fruit?" Squall gave the blonde the most confused look ever.
Everyone but Squall started to crack up; it was obvious that Squall didn’t get out much, or go online.
"Don’t feel bad, Squall," Quistis said, after she stopped laughing, "I didn’t know what it meant either. It term for sex in fanfics."
Quistis and Selphie quickly told everyone what they had been talking about, flushing cause the lemon was about them.
"Cid," Quistis said, concerned for the older man, "are you okay?"
Cid shook his head no, "I can’t really say that I am. There has been another killing."
Everyone gasped and Zell started to shake. He knew it. He just knew those cops meant another killing. Seifer looked at his shaken boyfriend and frowned.
"Sir, has the police called SeeD in to help them? Is that why you called us," Quistis asked?
Cid shook his head, a sad look crossing over his face, "No, I’m afraid that is not why I called you. You see the killing was closer to home this time; one of our SeeDs."
Everyone in the room gasped, "what, you’re joking," Zell groaned. "Please say you’re joking."
Squall took a deep breath. "Who?"
Everyone in the room was trying to guess who it could possibly be. Nida maybe, or Ra or Fu. Who?
Cid sighed, looking up at the ceiling, "Rinoa, I’m afraid."
Shocked silence filled the air. Nobody expected this. Never in a million years.
Squall blinked his eyes a few times, the news hitting him hard. Rinoa had been his girlfriend; everyone’s friend of sorts. Sure she was annoying most of the time, and she didn’t make a very good girlfriend; but still, she was someone they knew.
Selphie looked down at the ground, gasping for breath. It soon became obvious that she was crying. Quistis and Rinoa never became good friends, but she was sad that the girl had been killed. Shaking her head, Quistis went to her girlfriend pulling her into a gentle embrace.
"NO," Selphie yelled, pulling away from Quistis, "I don’t deserve to be comforted." Selphie was sobbing pretty bad now. "Do you know the last thing I did to her? Huh, do you?" Selphie looked at her hand, at her ring.
"I..I," Quistis stuttered, surprised at Selphie’s outburst. "I don’t; Selphie, honey, it couldn’t have been that bad."
"THAT BAD," Selphie yanked off her ring, glaring it at it. "I’m a evil person," she yelled, throwing the ring across the room. Selphie then took off running out of Cid’s office.
"Does anyone know what she was talking about," Quistis asked, deathly worried about her girlfriends well being?
Irvine nodded, "she slapped Rinoa; Rinoa said something that made her see red, and well, she slapped her."
Quistis nodded, "oh." Quistis walked across the room, retrieving Selphie’s ring. She then raced out of the room, in search of her small brown-haired girlfriend.
A/N ah ha, some Angst. Can I get a yahoo? Rinoa is gone! Yay for that. Please review.
