Chapter 10.

~

The crowd murmured and whispered about devils, evil and the end of the world.

"Will you guys shut up?!"

The crowd stopped and stared at Seifer for being so calm, but then again it was Seifer and he was brilliant.

"It's not the end of the world, no one going to hell so just calm down."

"But we've sinned! What counts as sins to the devil?"

"It doesn't matter. That unicorn had nothing to do with hell; it was Laguna's fault he must have summoned it."

It didn't help Seifer could still hear everyone muttering about sins again.

"Does drinking count as a sin?"

"What about frequent sex? Or bondage?"

"You have nothing to worry about. Do you trust me? Do you love me?"

"Of course."

"Then believe me those things do not count as sins cos if they do then I'll be joining you in hell, and there's no way god would condemn a person as great as me."

"B-but the unicorn."

"Forget the unicorn, Laguna had something to do with it I'm certain."

"Did it destroy him?"

"No, it took him somewhere. How many unicorns do you know that take people places."

"We don't know any unicorns."

"That's not the point. The point is we should forget all this crap and focus on more important things like where is Zell and how can I get him back?"

"The legend."

"He should be back by now if he just went to check out that castle legend, everyone knows it's a load of rubbish. Where did he go after that?"

"Maybe..." Everyone turned to Raijin as the burly man started to speak. He hesitated when all eyes were on him. "Maybe the legend is true, Zell's at the castle of evil being held captive by the beast and that unicorn kidnapped his dad too, ya know."

The people in the room nodded, considering it.

Seifer burst out laughing, the others quickly joined in with his amusement so as not to get left behind.

"Oh Raijin, you crack me up. That is without a doubt the stupidest idea ever."

The dark man hung his head."

"Feel ashamed that you've managed to come up with an idea worse than this lot." He gestured to the crowd.

"B-But I thought you would like the idea. If Zell was being held captive then we could storm the castle and you could be his knight in shining armour, ya know."

"That's a nice thought Raij."

"We should go look anyway, Zell might be lost in the woods, then you can still save him."

Seifer considered it. "Yes, he is stupid enough to get lost." He slapped Raijin on the back. "Good idea."

He called for quiet. "People, here's what we're going to do. Tonight we leave to search the woods for Zell and the castle agreed?"

Everyone automatically agreed, they had to go or Seifer might think they were cowards.

Fujin smirked at the blonde as he tried on the clothes Squall had loaned him. Zell pulled hard to get the leather pants on, they clung to his legs making it difficult to move. Finally he got them on and buttoned the fly.

"God, how does he walk in these things." He legs felt constricted, like they were getting deprived of the blood circulation to his feet.

"STUPID!"

Zell walked around the room like a penguin. Instead he stood still and picked up the white tee he had been given. Zell had seen the shirt on Squall and the brunette was quite lean, how was Zell supposed to get into it? The shirt clung to him, showing off everything, every muscle, and all the details.

Fujin laughed out loud. The tee was so tight, that it hurt to put his arms down and he couldn't walk in the leather pants.

The door opened and Squall stood in the doorway. His eyes swept over Zell wearing his clothes. "Oh." Was all he said.

"Exactly. I can't wear these, they're too tight."

Squall tugged on the bottom of Zell's shirt, trying to pull it over Zell's stomach that was exposed.

"Ow, stop it."

He ran his paws over Zell's chest noting he could feel everything. "Hmm, tight."

"That's what I said."

Squall eyes drifted lower. "Are the pants too tight as well?" To test it he ran the tip of his claws down one of Zell's inner thighs.

The blonde flinched. "Squall, what are you doing?"

The beast pulled back. "Nothing. Sorry."

He backed away to the door. "You can borrow some of Irvine's clothes, you should ask him."

"I will." Zell went back to strip out of the clothing.

Squall watched the blonde as he pulled the shirt over his head as he walked away.

"PERV." Fujin smirked.

Squall scowled at her and quickly left.
