Eyes on Fujin

DAMN she's begining to annoy me. I wish she would find someone ELSE to hound around. Seifer thought to himself as he sat on a bunk in the Disciplinary Room. He kept a watchful gaze on Fujin, only one of the two posse members that he had been trademarked for.

Rajin was somewhere else, probably fishing. She had been annoying him for quite some time now, and it was begining to show.

"Will you quit messin' with my damn Hyperion already?!?" Seifer scowled to Fujin who was polishing and primming it for him - obviously without his permission.

"I was just doing you a favor, I thought it could use the extra care." She said looking up from her work with a grin, hoping to please him.

(Fujin RARELY grins)

"The HELL?!? I didn't ask for any favors, okay? So just leave my Hyperion alone. You of all people should know very damn well that I do NOT like my things to be messed with, ESPECIALLY my Hyperion." Seifer screamed at Fujin in a tone that should have been all but lowered. He was now on his feet with his hands balled up in fists.

Fujin's little curve of a smile quickly went straight. She dropped what she was doing-including the Hyperion and it looked as though tears were in her eyes. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"Just don't let it happen again." He said as he stormed out of the room.

I wonder what's gotten into him lately. Could I be... bothering him? No, I don't think so. I was only trying to help... Fujin thought as she picked up the Hyperion and the spilled jar of polish she had been using to clean up the blade. Maybe I should tidy this place up so that Seifer won't be so mad when he comes back. I always do. Maybe not.............it'll just make him angrier. So she leaves it at that and exits the room.

*****

What is it with her? I mean, she HAS to have better things to do than follow ME around and bother ME all day. Why doesn't she go and hound Squall or something?<7i> Seifer thought as he walked to the Training Center. As he walked, he remembered he forgot his Hyperion.

When he gets back to the Disciplinary Room, he is surprised to find that it is a wreck.
What the hell is this? (sigh) I mean, she usually cleans up the place while I'm gone, or when Raij is. I wonder if I was too hard on her. Nah. She's part of my posse. She should understand. But she HAS been getting on my nerves lately...
He takes a glance around the room, then grabs his Hyperion and sets out for the Training Center.
*****
Footsteps echo as Fujin makes her way down the steps of the Front Gate of the Garden. The star-speckled night is clear and she can hear crickets making their familiar music. A cool, crisp breeze brought the sweet scent of the fields and flowers to her nose. She ran her hand through her hair as she sat down on the top step to think.
Why. Why does he have to be so....inconsiderate when he knows that I care for him... alot. I have ever since the begining. The begining of our posse. No... he doesnt know that. He can't. I would've never been able to be the same around him. There's no way he knows. She said asshe stared up into the night sky making out pictures in the stars.
It was only a favor. Lately he has been... I don't know... edgy. Every little thing I do for him makes him mad. I wonder what's gotten into him?
She remembers all sorts of things that had made Seifer mad lately. Like last week, when they were in the cafeteria. Seifer lost his temper just because she had put ketchup on his hot dog instead of mustard. Or just yeaterday, when they were in Fisherman's Horizen, Seifer got upset just because Raijin had caught more fish in five minutes than he had in an hour. But Seifer had always been competitive.
Could it be.......the sorceress' doing? He hasn't been the same since that happ-
She stopped thinking when she saw Squall coming down the steps.
"What are you doing here?" He said as he stood next to her.
"BUSINESS, NOT YOURS." She said crossing her arms.
"..........whatever." He sat down next to her. "Is something bothering you?" He said seeing hurt in her eyes.
She just glared at him, Is this the same Squall everyone knows? Does he actually care? No......he must want something. She continued to gaze.
"What is it?" He wanted to know. He looked at her and up until now, he had never noticed how beautiful she actually was, despite her constant need to kick someone.
"NOTHING." She said as she stood up and brushed her uniform off. Then turned to look at Squall who was staring at her.
"Whatever you say. Just remember, you can talk to me about anything. I mean, we're all on the same team, right?" Squall said as he stood up next to her.
What the....? He HAS to want something. All she does is nod as she stares at him. In one quick instant she decides to trust Squall.
"YOU.........LISTEN?"
He nods and sits down, offering her a seat beside him, and a smile.
Fujin takes a seat and tells Squall of her concern for Seifer.
The two sit together, as the night goes on.
*****
What time is it? Seifer thinks to himself as he wipes the sweat off of his forehead and sits down on a rock. He had just finished fighting about 7 T-Rexaurs in the Training Center. He looks around proudly as he yells out "IF ANY OF YOU OTHER MONSTERS WANNA FIGHT, COME AND GET ME!!!!!"
Seifer had always been one to love a good fight.
(sigh) I think I should be getting back.......better yet, I think I better go and talk to Fuj. I feel so bad now for what I did. Wait a minute. ME??? FEEL... BAD?!?!?... W-what's this feeling??? Why am I... feeling bad for what I did?
Seifer sat there for what seemed like an hour giving himself a headache over the matter.
I... I don't get this. I have never done something bad to Fuj... then felt bad about it later... why...Fujin? Why start now? (sigh) All these thoughts confuse me. Could it be... that I actually... care for her? No. No that can't be it.
He stands up and begins pacing. All the while tapping his blade on his shoulder- a familiar pose we all know.
I just don't know anymore. All I know is I have treated her badly, while all she's done is good for me. He turns around whirling his blade violently. I better go and talk to her.
He runs out of the Training Center and heads for the Disciplinary Room. When he gets there, he is surprsed to find it empty.
Hmm.....where the hell could she be?
*****
"I'm sorry to hear this. You should know that Seifer has no heart. It's his nature."
Fujin just glared at Squall, not believing what she was hearing.
"NO." She knew Seifer had a heart. Or else, she wouldn't be here. If Seifer didn't have a heart, he would have left her to die, rather than took her under his wing when he found her clinging to life... on that day so long ago. She remembers that day vividly. She shook her head. "DON'T UNDERSTAND."
"What do you mean?" Squall said as he glared up into her one, beautiful ruby eye, obviously in pain.
"FORGET IT." She started walking away when Squall grabbed her arm and put his hands on her shoulders.
"I wanna know, You can tell me."
She just stood there and stared at him. She was speechless. He moved forward and gave her a hug.
"What the HELL????" Seifer said to himself as he came to the Front Gate of Garden. "Who the hell is she with?" He is careful to be quiet, he wants to see who it is.
All he can see is two figures... one he can tell is Fujin's, he knows her like the back of his hand. As for the other, it kind of looks like... Squalls.
"No, it can't be, could it? If it is..."
He pulls out his Hyperion "I'll @*#(^% kill him." He says and begin walking forward.
"I will always be here to talk to, just remember that, okay?" Squall says steping back from Fujin. A smile crosses Fujin's face. Why all of a sudden was Squall being nice to her? It was all to wierd for her. Alot of things crossed her mind. All she knew was that she liked the feeling of someone caring. Something she never knew the feeling of.
"WHAT THE HELL?"
Seifer yells out loud, but not loud enough for them to hear.
What the HELL IS THIS??? Squall is supposed to be cold an distant, and Fujin is supposed to be bitchy and rude, what the hell are they doing together. Fujin... Fujin is supposed to be... mine?? No, it can't be.
He shakes his head and begins to pace.
Do I actually.....care for Fuj? No! I can't. I'm Seifer Almasy. And I'm not supposed to care. She's part of my posse.
5 minutes pass, Seifer continues to pace, in deep thought.
Ever since that day, that day I found her. I think I care for her. Maybe I'm just to bull-headed to admit it. But I do. And now... NOW she's with Squall. No. I can't let it happen
He pulls out his Hyperion and shakes it in the air.
"I'll get her back. Godamnit, I'll get you Squall."
He yells aloud and begins walking towards Squall and Fujin.
*****
"DUCK!" Fujin yells as Seifer's Hyperion bearly misses Squall's neck.
"What the hell? Have you gone crazy?" Squall yelps as he grabs Lionheart. He always carries Lionheart.
"Are YOU?!?!" Seifer yells as he whirls his sword around his head and brings it down on Squall's. The twojust stare at each other face to face, hating each other all more for each second that passes.
"I'm not going to fight you Seifer." Squall pulls back.
Fujin just stands quietly away from them, not believing her eyes.
"WHY THE HELL NOT?!?!?" Seifer swings his Hyperion at Squall, just threatening him.
"Because this is stupid. You need to grow up." Squall says as he brushes the hair out of his face.
At that remark Seifer swipes Squall's arm with Hyperion and draws blood.
"STOP." Fujin yells and runs over to them. "POINTLESS." She says as she kneels down to Squall and holds his arm. "NOTHING TO......." And she trails off. "FIGHT ABOUT."
"Oh I think you know very damn well what we're fighting over." Seifer says eyes narrowed.
"I'm out of this. If you have to fight about every godamn thing that pisses you off, then I'm just not even going to argue about it anymore." Squall says as Fujin helps him to his feet.
"INFIRMARY." She and Squall begin to walk towards the entrance, Squall holding his arm, Fujin carrying his gunblade.
"YOU'RE JUST A COWARD!!" Seifer yells at him, now out of his sight.
For a long while he just stands there.
*****
"Errrrrrgghh" Squall grunted in pain through gritted teeth as Dr. Kadowaki put some ointment on his arm.
"You know, you really need to stop crossing paths with that kid Seifer." She says with her hands on her hips.
"..........whatever."
"Keep it bandaged, and don't do any extreme fighting for at least a week."
Squall nods.
Kadowaki exits his room and goes over to her desk. "You may see him now." She says to Fujin, who was sitting in a chair patiently.
"LOOKS BAD." "Oh what......this?" Squall says referring to his arm.
Fujin nods.
"It doesn't feel as bad as it looks."
"SQUALL?"
"Yeah."
"THANK YOU."
"For what?"
"BEING A FRIEND."
"No problem. I think you better go talk to Seifer."
She looks down.
"I mean it. Even though he never shows it, he does care for you."
"..........."
"Go."
*****
Night has now fallen on Balamb Garden. Fujin walks out of the Infirmary only to find Seifer there pacing back and forth. He hears her footsteps and looks up at her. The both stop and just stare at each other for what seemed like forever.
"Fuj...I-" Seifer is cut off by Fujins arms around his waist. She ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug he ha ever recieved.
He hugged her back.
No words needed to be said to express the way each of them felt. She knew him better than anyone could ever know him. And he understood her better than anyone would be able to.
Fujin and Seifer...........the perfect couple.
