General Caraway stared at Zell, strangely,

"And what is that suppose to mean?"

Quistis sighed and pulled up another chair. "Sir, I think we think to explain a few things and you too."

General Caraway looked at the chair and sat down and looked at the younger teens..."Well? Let's hear it!"

Irvine raised his hands. "I'll tell you, the girls informed me of what happened and so I have the full story."

General Caraway waited patiently.

"Around the time Yenya came, Rinoa and the girls decided to go on vacation. Now Yenya then appeared and she took a liking to Squall. In the beginning Squall stood strong, but like Rinoa, Yenya easily broke down his defenses. Now, Rinoa and the girls had sense something was wrong and so they called Squall, lying to him saying they would come home a week later. When really they were coming the next day so they could find out what was wrong."

Irvine paused collecting the information before he said anything.

"Rinoa came and found Squall and Yenya kissing. Rinoa went into a state of Rage. Destroying everything in her path, to kill Squall and Yenya. That's why you saw the garden looking like shit. Yenya had attack Rinoa in attempt to knock her out and succeeded. Now there is a uneasiness because Squall has fallen for both girls and now both girls want Squall."

General looked at the team, expecting one of them to say what a lie. This couldn't have been true. Yenya should have known. Rinoa should have been there. They should be hugging each other not hating each other.

"Now sir, we need some explaining here?" Selphie said.

"I can't tell you, I need to tell my daughters first." General Caraway said and got up leaving the group. They turn to each other.

"This is not good" Zell muttered, "Wanna go eavesdrop on their conversation?"

The group looked at each other and nodded.

***

Rinoa ran into her room and slammed the door shut locking it. She couldn't believe it. She had a sister, a sister who was the same fucking age. That meant her dad cheated on her mother. Her mother! The woman who cared for that man and to only be betrayed!

"That.... that...that...man!" Rinoa couldn't say any curse words to express the anger. To make matters worse. The girl, who was her sister, schemed to get her boyfriend!!

Rinoa felt the tears escape. Why the hell was everything always messed up for her? First her mom dieing from a car accident. Then the years of neglect from her father. Then the break-up with Seifer, then getting captured. And now her boyfriend had been stolen by the woman who was her sister!

"I know exactly what they mean when they say 'Life is not fair' "

Anger started building up in Rinoa's blood. She felt her starting to go into compete anger, "No, I can't get angry now. " She said calming her self down. Rinoa then heard a knock on her door. She stared at it..."Leave me alone"

Squall answered. "Rinoa, it's me. We need to talk" Rinoa stared at that door. It was a blank expression. Should she be happy or mad? She walked to the door and opened it. She saw Squall have a sorry look on his face. "...Well start talking"

Squall sighed seeing that Rinoa wasn't going to let him in. "Rinny, I am sorry. I never intended to hurt you, I swear. In the beginning she was like glue to paper, she just kept at it. I kept trying to shrug her off but she was just like you, never giving up..."

"Ugh, there's the proof" Rinoa said turning away. Squall had a curious look on his face. "Huh? What are you talking about" Rinoa let out a sob and turned around. "Guess what? She my sister. That whore of yours is my sister!"

"What? What do you mean?"

"That man, Caraway came and declared that Yenya was his daughter, my sister. So guess what, I'm fucked. My boyfriend fell in love with my SISTER!"

Rinoa saw as Squall looked downward in confusion. "Oh, don't look so down. I know you knew! Yet you continued to fall in love. Your a bastard you know that?! Huh?! Your mother fucking bastard!!!" Rinoa yelled tears coming down and collapsed on the floor. And looked at Squall. "How did this happen? How? " Fresh tears about to fall.

Rinoa just stared at the floor blankly as she felt Squall take her into his arms and hold her...keeping her safe...for now.

****

Yenya walked to her dorm. She was going to pack her bags and get the hell away from here. From all the anger and hurt present here. She came here to find her sister and fell in love with a mysterious blue-eyed man. But oh yeah! She found her sister all right. And then fell in love with her boyfriend.

"They could have had a great future, if it wasn't for me!" Yenya whispered, "It's all my fault. There is going to be no love between me and Rinoa."

Yenya finally found her dorm and slid her key card and the door opened. She went straight to her closet and took out her suitcase.

"Leave it there, Yenya" A voice said behind her.

"Dad, I have to go. Rinoa hates me and I can't be their if my own sister hates me."

"Why do you care so much?"

"Because family is your blood. You only have one family. They love unconditionally. I never had that kind of family that gave me love. So when I found out I had a sister, I thought 'hey new beginning'. Well guess what? It all ends the same! I'm hated!"

"Don't pack yet, come with me, I have a lot of explaining to do"

Yenya dropped her suitcase and turn to General Caraway. She walked up to him, her eyes without emotions. "Fine."

****

Caraway walked to where he knew was Rinoa's room. His guess was that she was throwing stuff around the room. In an angry rage...then again the Gardens not destroyed. As he walked he heard the hesitant steps of Yenya. She was nervous. He was nervous. He was going to have to confess everything...everything...

He stopped at the door and he heard a sob. He heard a soothing voice trying to calm Rinoa. He opened the door to find Rinoa on the floor and Squall holding her. He heard Yenya mutter something like 'didn't take long'. He knocked on the open door to catch their attention.

He watched as Rinoa quickly get out of Squalls arm and stand up straight looking at Yenya and Caraway. Shit. He didn't like that look, she look so much like Julia. He felt a pang where his heart was.

"Rinoa we need to talk."

"No, I will not talk to you!"

"Rinoa--"

"No! I won't talk to a lying, selfish ---"

"Rinoa! Shut up and listen to your father!" General Caraway said quickly losing his patient with Rinoa. He watch as Rinoa finally realized who was in charge. He looked at Squall.

"Get out, Leonhart. This is none of your concern!"

Squall nodded and looked at Caraways daughter. Once Squall was out General closed the door, leaving a small space. He knew Rinoa's friends wanted to listen, and he knew once he told Rinoa the whole story she wouldn't want to repeat it. He smiled a small smile as he as the teens scramble.

"Yenya, sit with your sister."

"Dad--"

"Please..." He said with a sincere voice. He looked at Rinoa who looked shock. It was no shock. He had never been very sincere to her and to be to a complete stranger had to hurt. He threw a sorry look but she just turned from him. "Well Caraway, talk."

"Don't you have any respect for him? He's your father, and you need to treat as one, like calling him 'Dad' or whatever" Yenya spoke, shock.

"Look, you don't know anything, so back off!" Rinoa snapped. General Caraway knew it was now to tell his story.

"It was around the time. I had met Julia. Your beautiful mother, Rinoa, Julia. I don't need to tell you how I met her. It way as Leonhart's father. A very frequent visit to the bar. Anyway, Julia and me were perfect together. Everyone thought so too. Kept encouraging to me marry her. I wasn't sure. Sure I liked Julia but like every teenage boy for the same reason."

He watched as Rinoa looked at him. Disbelief in her eyes. "You mean...?"

"Sex."

Rinoa opened her mouth in disbelief. "How...could you?!"

"Rinny, before you take this to where ever it doesn't belong let me finish. Now, while Julia and me were dating on the side I had Naoki. " He looked at Yenya. He saw her fist clench.

"Are you saying, you used ours mothers as your whores?!!" Yenya said, he could tell she was holding back.

"Let me finish first. Now, both of your mothers eventually caught me. I chose Julia. Naoki was nice, but she was just too...uptight. And so Julia and me wedded. A few months after I got married, Naoki came to returns stuff that I had gave her. I can tell you more things then what was intended, if you know what I mean. So now I got Naoki pregnant and then I got Julia pregnant"

Rinoa stood up tears came down. "So you saying you got both woman pregnant?!"

General nodded. " Now both of you were born. Several years later, once again I was caught. Naoki came to ask for child support. Yenya you just turned five. Such a beautiful child. I wasn't home at the time and Julia was home. Now you can tell what happened. I got home with both of you playing and both mothers sitting down. Naoki thought we had a future and Julia said we had none. Julia said she would have a divorce. But when Julia went to talk to a lawyer...she got in a car accident…. She died."

Rinoa coughed back a sob. She had heard this story of her mother's death all her life. She felt Yenya put a hand on her back. She wanted to jerk away, but right now she needed comfort.

"Now Naoki and I got together. You two don't remember each other because Naoki and me went out separate ways not too long after we got back together. She said she wanted to do anything with me. We weren't happy. I was too busy mourning Julia, getting drunk. So she left me. Taking Yenya away, never to look back. And that's the story"

Yenya got up and paced the rooms. "You don't deserve happiness. Now I understand why my mother hated me so, because I reminded her of you! The pain you caused her was let out on me. How does that make you feel...Caraway?"

"Now you look here Yenyaisha Bishopiny --- " Caraway started and turned at when the door burst opened. The guy in the Cowboy hat walked in. He was staring at Yenya. "Yenyaisha?" He whispered.

Yenya just looked at him. "Yes?"

"It's me Irvinealeck" Caraway watched as realization crossed his daughters face and then one of pure anger and hatred. She slapped him. "You fucker! How dare you come to me! And remind me of.... Damn You!!!"

General then saw the bubbly Brunette come out from the fallen crowd. "How dare you touch him!" She yelled.

She then looked at Selphie."I can touch this man however I want. This is my ex-boyfriend! The one that killed my cousin!"

"What?!" came the response of Squall. He turned from Irvine to Yenya. "She's the cousin of the girl you told us about?! "

Zell then decided to join in the shock. "What?! This is all so confusing!"

"Oh, I'll tell you. This Guy, fucked me and my cousin and then he killed her"

It was then Zell decided to act like a smart as. "Technically, it was the guy who pulled the trigger, Irvine was nearly the cause" General looked as Zell back up from Yenya's angry stare.

"All you men are the same! My Father fucked two women, you fucked two women and so many...I...I can't take it! I just can't" Yenya muttered to herself sounding a bit koo-koo. Then Rinoa got up "Lets not forget Squall. What's wrong with you guys? Can't you guys be faithful?!" Rinoa yelled.

"I haven't done anything!" Zell protested.

"You know what…whatever! I don't care anymore! " Rinoa said. She turned to General. "I will never forgive you for cheating on mom. It's because of you she died. And You...." Rinoa turning to Yenya. "Your are just another slut, just like your mother, I mean how could you chase after a man when you knew he had a girlfriend?!"

Yenya just looked downward and turnrd to Squall and simply answered.

"I've never been loved" She walked out the door. But not before she pulled Irvine to a corner and whispered in his ear. "Now you listen here, I don't ever want to remember the past. It's over, the flames burned out."

"Can't we be friends, then?" Irvine whispered back, "I don't know, maybe, isn't like me and Lashay were close, you know?" Yenya smiled and left.

****

Rinoa watched as Yenya and Irvine exchange words and Yenya left. She didn't like Yenya, but she had this presence of sadness and loneness. Something that could tear her apart. She had a feeling she had it better then Yenya.

She turned around and looked at her father. He looked so guilty. So regretful. But he fell for temptation. He slept with Yenya's mother and got her with child and then turned around and got her mom pregnant. It would have been better if her Dad never slept with Yenya's mom. She and Squall would be all right now.

Squall, he betrayed her. But yet, she felt like she should give him a chance. She had heard siblings are alike in ways. She easily got to Squalls heart and because Yenya was her...sister she could have easily done the same.

But fate, she had a strong belief in fate. Fate always had a hand in this. Maybe it was fates way to tell Rinoa, that she had to be on her guard. Everything isn't what it is. Never believe otherwise. Or maybe, fate wanted to open her eyes and see that other people were abused. Not everybody was referred to as princess and be the world's hero.

You'd think she knew because of the others past. But... she didn't. It wasn't her life and it was so far behind in the past they were all so happy, it didn't really process in her mind.

'Look at myself. I'm starting to feel sorry to the girls that try to steal my boyfriend. I can tell Squall tried, but he just couldn't resist. I should go apologize. Maybe...before I can just go calling her a whore I should learn the whole story. She just told me she has never been loved. And I...'

Rinoa walked to her Dad. "Gen--Dad, I don't know how I'm going to get over this. But I'm going to try. But, I know I won't ever forgive you. You broke a sacred vow to my mother, and you killed her." Rinoa said bluntly.

She then turned to Irvine. "We have a lot to talk about, cowboy, don't we?" Irvine nodded, now everyone had to know the whole story. This is so fucked up.

Rinoa soon started to walk out the door when she was stopped by Squall. He looked at her, searching her eyes. She closed it, her eyes were a window to her soul. She looked at Squall. "Maybe..."

He nodded and let her passed, but she walked in and pulled him to her. "Say, where's Yenya's room?"

He arched in eyebrow in confusion. "It's a um...girl thing"

"Room 519"

She nodded and headed towards the room. As she walked she soon started hearing Selphie and Quistis asked what Irvine and Yenya were talking about. She smiled. 'He better remember every word, because next is me.'

***

Tears slid down Yenya's read cheek as she packed her stuff. She just had to get out of here. She thought she could start a new life, but she just couldn't. Bad memories from her past were here new bad memories were here. She just had to go.

"Why are you packing?" A voice asked...Rinoa's voice. Yenya smiled a sarcastic smile, "Why? You want me to be here so I can take Squally?"

Rinoa walked in. "You know, you're not making this easy."

Yenya turned and look. "What do you mean?" Rinoa closed her eyes and walked to the bed and sat down. "To get to know you. To see the truth behind this."

"Behind what?"

"Behind you actions, words, everything. So I can see if I can actually start forgiving Squall. So tell me about yourself/"

Yenya sighed and continue to pack. "Well, what can I say? My mother abused me my stepfather sexually-abused me. I was never loved once in my life. My best friend died. My cousin died because of your friend. My mothers in the hospital and I just found I got a sister and I tried to steal her man. What's there to tell?"

"You lived hell, haven't you?" Rinoa said thoughtfully. "No, I lived like a princess." Yenya replied sarcastically.

"You know you don't have to be sarcastic."

"Well, sorry, what you see and hear is what you get."

"Why were you trying to get Squall?" Rinoa asked. Yenya stopped packing she had hit a nerve. But she knew she had to answer.

"Because...Rinoa...I've never been loved. When I saw Squall, I saw a chance. I could tell he was a bit to himself but I knew if he loved someone he would make them know it. And he proved that to me, when I went to the infirmary."

"Infirmary?"

"Well, it was one of my tricks, actually. Well, I wanted to be a SeeD when I heard all about you guys. And so, I was practicing being a SeeD. And I heard you had to have a supporter, and the first thing on my mine was Squall. So I asked Headmaster and he approved. After I got Ifrit, the cave started collapsing for some reason. I had a cut from earlier and a rock and passed and I fell and then I felt something hit my head hard and all went blank. And when I awoke, I was in the infirmary and the doctor said Squall rushed to bring me here. And I felt good, because, I felt loved and was actually showed love. ...You're really lucky Rinoa"

"..hmm"

Yenya shrugged. "But hey, how can I even try to steal him now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Rinoa, family has always been important to me. Even though my family didn't show it. I always defended my family if one was hurt. And I knew I had a sister name Rinoa. But then again the name was very common and....whatever. So it was just like, I can never hurt a family member like that. If you care for Squall and I know you do I would never try to steal him. You could have a thousands loves but only one family."

Rinoa smiled. "I'm beginning to like you. Well, I guess I don't have to worry about you stealing Squall. And I guess I can forgive Squall. But trust him, HAH!"

"You..You...forgive me?" Yenya asked in a surprised voice.

"No not really, but, um, when I hear you talk, I know it's from the heart. My sorceress powers tell me so, by the way. What was the whole thing with Irvine?"

Yenya laughed. "You go ask him. He'll tell you."

Silence....

"Hmm, I guess I better go and talk to Squall"

"Yeah, guess so. And finish packing"

"Wait, your still packing?"

"Umm, yeah.. too much bad feelings present, you know?"

"Hmm, I guess so. But, stick around for a while, who knows it might go away"

"hmm, maybe" Yenya then grabbed the suitcase and open the draw and dumped the clothes into one.

"Ok, lets go. I think we have a lot of explaining to do, ya know?" Yenya said with a wink.

"Oh for sure!"

*****

Squall walked out the door a little after Rinoa. Everyone was asking Irvine to say the whole story, he already heard it already. So Rinoa was out to talk to Yenya. Hopefully a fight didn't erupt.

He turned his head when he heard laughing. It sounded like Rinoa and Yenya. They were cool? Girls, so quick to forgive.

Soon they came into sight. "You two made up?" He asked.

"No," Yenya said.

"Then why..."

"Squall, we just decided not to fight. And just be cool with one another."

"But, that doesn't mean we trust each other or best friends" Yenya added, "We simply decided to not to have any hard feelings present."

"Oh"

Irvine they ran out of the room. "Ok, I told you! Do I need to repeat?"

Selphie turned to Yenya. "Is what he said was true? Did you two used to date? And you fought your cousin?"

Yenya nodded. "All of it true, but I learn to let go. The past is the past."

"So, you're not holding an grudges against Irvine for your cousin?"

"I used too, but not anymore. I see he's happy and I knew Irvine used to love Lashay and I won't bring him done with the past"

Irvine smiled at Yenya then winked and Yenya just rolled her eyes.

"Ok, then" Squall said in an uneasy voice. "Squall, I'd like to talk to you" Yenya said a little nervous. Rinoa looked a little worried and then her face showed one of no care.

"Rinoa?" Squall asked. Rinoa nodded. "It's Ok, we have to talk after, k?"

Squall nodded and followed Yenya to the corner. Yenya turned to Squall. "Listen Squall, I am so sorry. I made you like me because of some wanting I had since my childhood. And I didn't even think of how it would affect you. All I thought about was me...and I don't know why I became that selfish. But..I just want you to know I so sorry!"

Squall looked at Yenya and knew she was telling the truth. "You were never loved, that was perfectly understandable"

"I don't why you and Rinoa are so forgiving but, um, I'm glad. Squall I swear, I will never try and pull those moves on you again. After finding out Rinoa is my sister and your one and only love I don't look at you the same way. I see now..as a friend"

Squall chuckled "So who do like now?"

Yenya smiled. "How can you tell?"

"Your eyes"

Yenya laughed. "Well, I hope my eyes is telling who I like now"

"No, not really."

"Well, then I'll tell you." She pulled Squall closer to her and whispered in his ear. "Zell"

Squall jumped back startled and looked back at Zell and then whispered. "Zell?!"

"Yeah Zell, I like him he's got, um, life energy"

"Ugh, energy is no lie. Well, good luck then"

"Thanks, good luck to you and Rinoa. I'll see you later. I have scheming to do"

Yenya then ran up to Zell and linked arms with him. "Soo, Zell..."

Squalls just shook his head and turn and saw Rinoa walked up to him. "What she say?"

"She said she was sorry and will never look at me the same way"

"And..?"

"And she like....Zell"

Rinoa turned to where Zell and Yenya was. "Pretty obvious"

"Yeah Guess so..Rinoa, I'm sorry"

"Squall, it's alright, I understand. Yenya and me are alike and she wanted you and she got you. I have to say, I would use the same tricks"

"Whatever"

Rinoa pulled Squall close to her. "It might take a will for me. But I know, I'll eventually trust you. Give me some time, Ok?"

Squall nodded and pulled her into a kiss

*****

Quistis looked around her. Happiness was back. Irvine and Selphie were happy. Looked like Zell and Yenya had a bright thing going on. She turned to Squall and Rinoa things were looking good.

All expect her. Love was in the air and all around her. She sighed. Now she had to go and get herself a man. But she knew if she had patient everything would be all right. She looked around once more and wished everyone the best.

She then turn and saw General Caraway and walked up to him. "Looks like you coming did some good, huh?"

He nodded. "Tell me girls, I wish them luck. But now I have to part"

"Will Do" She watched him as he backed away from the scene, not noticed by any of the girls that he was gone.

She then walked down the hall and went to the lunchroom. She took a seat and put her head down. She sighed. So this is what it felt like to be the only one without a mate..or whatever.

She wasn't really the only one after they defeated Ultimatecia. Zell was the other one without a mate. She had thought in the beginning maybe they could get together. But Zell proved to be a bit too immature for her liking.

She then felt a presence behind her to find Seifer. "Hello Seifer, how may I be of service to you?" She said with a attitude.

"Nothing, my dear instructor. Rumor has been that Yenya is Rinoa's sister."

Quistis head snapped up. "How did people find out so quickly?"

"There was a student passing by and heard the commotion and ran and told everyone and then everyone told everyone and now I know"

"Well, I suppose it was a matter of time"

"Yes, suppose so, huh instructor?"

"Seifer, leave me alone, will ya?"

"Why? Sad because everyone else got someone expect you. Heh, even chickenwuss found someone before you. Pathetic really."

"Seifer why don't you shut up, before someone does it for you!!" Quistis snapped and got up but was stop by Seifer grabbing her wrist.

She looked at her wrist then at Seifer. "Let Go"

He looked hesitant then smirked. He let go of her wrist and pulled her close to him. Now people were watching.

"Why, Instuctor, so uptight" He breath caressing her cheek. She felt her breathing become irregular and he look at her eyes.

*His eyes is so beautiful!*

Quistis then thought for a minute. Everyone accepted Seifer, they knew he was under a spell. Rinoa had once told her she and Seifer looked good together. She didn't really get angry of the thought. And here he was.

Taking a chance, Quistis looked a Seifer. She grabbed his head and pulled his lips onto her own. The kiss wild and untamed, kiss to ensure their future.
