didn't feel like going with her. Actually, he didn't want to go there. Maybe he would have let Rui persuade him. Hmm, Rui. She once said that everyone should be given a chance. Sometimes maybe a second. Why didn't he like Warui anyway? She hadn't done anything to him. Maybe he should give her a chance. It could be that he had a lot of fun with her at the ball. "Ok, let's go together" Warui was overjoyed. "Great!" She immediately fell around his neck. When she noticed Seifer's expression, she let go of him immediately and smiled innocently.
"EY !!!! RUI !!! WAIT !!!" Xell came running and caught Rui as she was about to go into her room. "Oh, hello Xell. What's up?" She closed the door that she had opened slightly and turned to him. He had now reached her and was completely out of breath in front of her. "It's true," he grinned at her. "What's right?" Rui turned his head slightly to one side. She had no idea what he meant. "You really are like a kitten" Rui blushed slightly. Seifer had said that too. "How ... how do you come up with it ??" "Well, when someone approaches you, you usually disappear all of a sudden. You have to be really quick if you want to get caught."In addition, you always have a cute dog look on it when you want something. "She started to laugh easily. Somehow Xell had such a cute way." But the dog look has nothing to do with a cat. "" Well then, cat's eye. I've always wanted to have a cat. "He grinned at her cheekily. What did that mean? Was it his own now? Sometimes he was a real playboy. Irvine must have been a bad influence on him.

She turned to the door and opened it. "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now. See you tomorrow, yeah ?? Bye" Rui went in and fell on the bed. She has never had such a chaos of emotions. She became more and more likeable to Xell. I wonder if there would be more.
Xell was still standing in front of the door and smiling. He put his arms over his head and walked down the hall. “Rui, be my kitten.” He said it quietly to himself and went to his room. When he got to the door he looked down the hall again. "The day after tomorrow is the ball. Then I'll tell her. After all, I've come a long way." Xell went into the room and went to sleep.
They walked out of the classroom together. "Do ... do we want to eat something else ??" It was strange to ask her. Until now he didn't have to ask a girl. Rai-jin and Fu-jin just always followed him. Plus, Rai-jin wasn't a girl, and Fu-jin didn't really act like one either. With Rui it was natural that they went out to eat together. They did that almost every day. Warui nodded and smiled happily. "Do we want to eat in Fisherman's horizon or do we just go to the cafeteria?" "Let's just go to the cafeteria." said Seifer.
"Tell me. What happened to us?" Rinoa looked sadly at Squall. When they first met, they were so in love. But now Squall hardly had time for her.

“I really don't have time now, please Rinoa.” He tried to shake her off his arm. "I have to go up. Cid has given me a lot. It's a bad time. Please," Squall turned away from Rinoa, went to the elevator and went up.

Rinoa sadly went towards the cafeteria. It couldn't be. What was he hiding from her? He had been like that for months. Hmm, yeah about a month after Rui showed up here. Did it have something to do with her? No certainly not. She had been with Seifer all the time.

She got to the cafeteria and saw two people sitting at a table. She crept up quietly and listened.
"How long have you known Rui?" Warui looked questioningly at Seifer. "Hmm" he pondered. “I don't know exactly, but for a long time, I think.” “And how do you feel about each other?” “How?” He looked at her inquiringly. "Well in what relationship. Are you guys together or just friends?" Seifer had to suppress a grin. "We're ... ... just friends" He wasn't sure what to say for a moment. "But you often hang out together" Warui didn't even notice the short dropout."Yes, but only because ... because ..." "Because ??" He didn't know. Why was he always with Rui so often? He couldn't find a reason. "Because?" repeated Warui. "We just get along well. We have already experienced a lot together ..." The last sentence was more of a murmur. "I beg your pardon?" Warui hadn't understood him and wanted to hear it again. “Nothing!” Seifer stood up. "I'm going to sleep. Good night" He left the cafeteria without turning around. Rinoa was just able to hide behind a large plant. "Phew." It came softly from her.

“Pff, Rui you stupid thing.” Rinoa looked at Warui. She was playing with a fork and had a big grin on. “He'll be mine soon. And everything else too.” She giggled and stabbed the tray with her fork. Then she got up and looked around again. "What if I let you blown?" she kept talking to herself and shrugged. "I am your ruin!" She laughed and went out of the cafeteria.

Rinoa watched her go. “Lying snake,” she hissed. "So you thank her for her help? If you want to get to her you have to pass me first !!"
"Morning !!!!" Selphie jumped down the hall, straight at Rui. "Selphie, I just got up, please ..." "Sorry, Rui. Duhu, can I ask you a favor ??" She looked at her lovingly with her dog eyes. “What?” Rui stretched and put his hands on his hips. "We still need people to line up. Xell, Irvine, Rinoa and Quistis also help." "Ok, ok, I'll help you too."

Together they went to the great hall where the victory ball had already taken place.

"RUI !!!" Xell came running. “Will you help me hang it up?” “Sure,” Xell leaned a ladder against one of the pillars and Rui climbed it. Desperately she tried to hang up the long bows. Xell watched her. Suddenly he got an idea. <What if I let the ladder wobble a bit and when it falls I catch it> He started to grin and wiggled the ladder slightly. The shaking got a little stronger. "Wah, Xell the ladder !!!" He heard Rui call and looked up. "Uwahh, I'm about to fall !! XELL !!!" She couldn't hold on anymore and let go. Xell responded quickly and held out his arms. Rui landed gently in two strong arms. Immediately she clutched her hero. "Phew, thanks. That could have gone wrong." "Exactly. What kind of stupid things you do. Don't let a clumsy guy like Xell hold the ladder." Rui looked up. That wasn't Xell !!! "Uh, uh, S ... Seifer ... you ... uh..me .." She quickly jumped from his arms and looked at Xell, who was slightly irritated because his plan went wrong. “Rui, that was really dangerous.” Only now did she recognize Warui next to Seifer. She had put on her innocent expression and looked worriedly at Rui. “Rui, come on.” Rinoa stood a little further away and hurriedly called her over. After yesterday, she didn't want Warui to be anywhere near Rui. "Bye."Rui looked at Seifer again briefly. Then she ran to Rinoa. Xell glared at Seifer, but then followed Rui.
They spent the whole day decorating the ballroom. In the evening, Rui lay exhausted in her room. "That was pure torture!" She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her ball gown. She had bought a new one. Hopefully he liked it with it. Hmm, him ... yes, him. She sat on her bed. Somehow so much had changed in that short time. It was kind of sad. She looked at her bedside table where there was a small box. She opened it and took something out. Then she stood in front of the mirror again and put on the necklace. It was actually just a black band with a little bell. "Meow !!" She laughed softly. "I'm a little kitten ... No !! A kitten of prey !!"
