This is the
second chapter to my freaky little fic. This is where the plotline starts to
get weird. I live for reviews, but please no flames. If I made a mistake
somewhere, or if there was something about the story that bothered you, by all
means, tell me… but please don’t be a meanie. Oh yeah, this chapter is MUCH
better than the previous one. I didn’t take the time to add to the first
chapter like I usually do when I write. But I think this chapter is really
interesting (and you can expect all the chapters subsequent to it to be that
way too!)… And for all of you FF8 fans: this is your lucky day (er… I should
say ‘lucky chapter’)! –Emerald Eyes ^o^ Oh yeah, I don’t own
the characters… blah blah blah blah… squaresoft’s property… blah blah blah…
Chapter Two: A Redhead, A Gunblade,
and The Inexplicable
He slowly sat up and unconsciously rubbed the cramp in his
neck. He had been lying in an awkward position for quite a while, judging from
the high level of pain. He rose to his feet and stretched.
Being very curious at the moment he decided to explore his
surroundings.
He was right. Underneath the desk a teenage boy with ruffled
brown hair and a peculiar looking sword was sprawled out in a rather
uncomfortable position. The boy wore black pants, a white tee shirt, and a
comfy looking black jacket with a fur collar.
Thankfully, he didn’t have to do anything. The unconscious
teenager groaned again and shifted positions. His eyes slowly slid open and
soaked in the scene with mild interest. When his gray eyes fell on the redhead
before him, his bewildered expression instantly turned hostile. The brunette
leaped onto his feet and in the blink of an eye had his “sword” against
The redhead held a very astonished expression on his face.
He obviously hadn’t expected the brunette to react as quickly as he did. It was
very rare for someone to outsmart a Turk, especially if that Turk just happened
to be
“Who are you?” the boy spat out menacingly, “Where is this
place? Why am I here?”
The boy looked to be in control but by the way his hands
were shaking, and the quick, shallow breaths he was taking, the Turk could tell
that he was a bit frightened. Using this to his advantage,
Before the kid in the black jacket knew what hit him, the Turk
had inflicted him with a sufficient amount of electricity. The boy cried out
and slumped to the ground. His eyes meekly stared up at the redhead towering
over him. The boy coughed.
“Who are you?” he weakly managed to get out.
The redhead grinned, “My name’s
“Squall,” the boy said simply.
“There’s no reason for you to glare at me like that, kid. It
looks to me like both you and I are in the same dilemma.” Squall’s expression
softened at
Squall looked incredulously at him, “Whatever.” The redhead
stared back with intense green eyes. He wasn’t going to say anything else, but
curiosity finally overcame his suspicions. “I’m a SeeD,
This caught
“What the hell are you talking about?” the SeeD spat in
annoyance, “I’ve never heard of any of the things you’ve just mentioned! Don’t
fuck with me, ‘TURK’! Like I said, I’m with SeeD. I’m Squall Leonhart. I saved
the world from Sorceress Ultemecia and time compression.”
“Would you believe it,” the Turk passively said, “if I told
you that I have never heard of this ‘SeeD’ thing before? I’ve never heard of
this Sorceress Ulte-whatever, and I have no idea what the hell ‘time
compression’ is, kid,” he paused to think of something more to say, “And,
Leonhart, I’ve never heard of YOU.”
“Whatever,” Squall sighed.
“…And it’s also kind of impossible for you to have never
heard of ShinRa Incorporated before…”
Both men were contemplating the meaning of each other’s
words when two blondes in white walked into the room…
“R—Rufus?” an incredulous Turk stuttered, not believing his
eyes, “You’re supposed to be dead…”
Squall Leonhart’s eye’s narrowed and glared at the other
blonde who had entered, “Seifer…”
