Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ Final Fantasy- Final Destination Part 1 ❯ Ex-SOLDIER or SOLDIER ( Chapter 10 )

Lunch soon rolled by. The bus stopped at a large restaurant and Professor Drakman stood up in the front. "Today for lunch we will be eating at Chocobo Hut," the professor said. A few kids laughed at the name. The professor continued, "Please exit in a single file line, and follow me." He left the bus and the other students began to stand and file out. Salira stood behind Lega and Raven was not too far behind both of them. "Why don't you tell us what's wrong?" Salira whispered to Lega. "I don't want to talk about it. It really isn't any of your business," Lega answered softly so Salira could hear.

"Then at least talk to Raven about it."

"I don't want to talk about it with anyone."

"Whatever it is, it's bothering you a lot."

"Salira just leave me alone, okay. I know you want to help me feel better, but now is not the time. Just don't bother me, and tell that to Raven too."

Salira remained quiet as they exited the bus. Once everyone was out, the professor did a role call and then they all entered the restaurant. "Students, and professors, please find a seat, or table, and sit down," Professor Drakman said. Raven and Salira took a table next to the window, while Lega sat alone at a table on the other side. "I've never seen Lega act like this before," Salira remarked. She still was upset at what Lega told her.

"Me too. And I'm sure Lega's never seen you talk to yourself," Raven said.

"Stop teasing me about that."

"Okay. I'm going to go talk to him. I'll be right back," Raven remarked as he got up and walked over to Lega. Salira felt alone once Raven left. She folded her arms on the table and places her head on them. Why doesn't Lega tell me what's wrong, he normally tells me everything when he's down, she thought to herself.

"What's with you?" Raven asked, sitting on the other side of the table where Lega sat.

"Why is everyone asking me that?!" Lega sneered.

"Look at Salira if you want to know," Raven whispered, pointing to Salira. Lega looked at her and felt bad, really bad. "Salira just wants to know what's wrong. What did you tell her that made her upset?" Raven asked. Lega looks back at Raven, "I told her I didn't want to talk about it with her…and to pretty much go away."

"Will you talk about with me, at least?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because…"

"Because why?"

"Because I don't want to tell you."

"Come on Lega, you can tell me."

"No I can't."

"Yes you can."

"No I can't"

"Yes…you can. Just tell me."

"Fine I'll tell you!"

"You don't need to raise your voice, Lega."

"Sorry…Just promise me you won't tell her."

"It has to with Salira?"

"Yes…and well someone else."

"Okay. But don't continue to ignore us."

"Ever since I met Salira, I've been…well…" Lega started, but Raven cutted in.

"In love with her, right?"

"Hey! How did you…"

"I can tell. But why did you move?"

"When I woke up, I saw you had your arm around her, and well…I got me a little ticked off."

"You thought I took her from you? You got that all wrong, Lega. Salira was sad and homesick, so I comforted her. I didn't take her from you."

Lega took the ring out of his pocket and handed it to Raven. "Here…give it back to Salira. Tell her I'm sorry, just don't tell her about what I told you."

"Whatever," Raven said as he took the ring and got up. "Don't be so down though. If you don't want Salira to find out, I suggest you stop acting like this every time I'm near okay. Otherwise she will find out." Lega watched as Raven returned to the table Salira was at.

Raven set the ring next to Salira's hand. "He says he's sorry, he was upset about something," Raven said, "Why don't we sit with him to make him feel better?" Salira sat up and took the ring off the table. "So he wasn't made at me then?" Raven shook his head no. Salira felt a lot better. "Come on," Raven says as he walks back to Lega. Salira gets up and follows, putting the ring on. "Wait up!"

Raven sat down across from Lega, while Salira sat next to him. "I'm really sorry, Salira," Lega said as Salira sat down next to him. "It's okay, Lega. Really," Salira remarked, "Why don't we share a little about ourselves?"

"Sounds great. Who will start?" Lega asked.

"I guess I will," Raven said, "I'm eighteen. I handle swords pretty well. I've known Lega since he was about five or six. I live with my dad. I've seen a lot during my life so far. And I'm a great swordsman. Who's next?"

"Me," Salira started, "I'm thirteen. I was an orphan at the age of two. Cloud adopted me when I was five…um…I've known Lega for about three years now. I only have a stepfather. I never knew what happened to my real parents. And I think that's about it for now. What about you Lega?"

"There really isn't much for me to say, you both know me pretty well," Lega answered. He sat closer to Salira, without her noticing.

"I don't mean to be rude, but I've noticed you have a bandage on your arm. What happened?" Raven asked Salira.

"I was attack a few nights ago," Salira answered.

"Oh…I was just wondering," Raven remarked. He turned to a low whisper; "I've been hearing rumors saying Sephiroth's back. Have you?"

"He is…" Lega and Salira said, but Salira continued, "He's the one who attacked me. He wants me to join…well you know."

"If it's true and the person who attacked is him, he has a daughter named Sethrinn. She's ranked second in the First Class, right under Sephiroth and next to Rosalynn," said Raven, "I've also gotten word saying that Rosalynn is still in SOLDIER. She never did quit." Salira recognized the name Rosalynn.

"Rosalynn who?" Salira asked.

"Rosalynn Kitra," Raven answered.

"That's impossible!" Salira was shocked.

"What do you mean?" asked Lega.

"Rosalynn is a friend of my father's. She told us she quit SOLDIER four years ago," answered Salira, "She's an Ex-SOLDIER!"
