Shards of Invisibility

I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man

Young Squall checked himself in the mirror again, poking and prodding every part of his visible face. Grimacing he tapped his ivory teeth, and rubbed his pale lips. Slipped a tan hand over healthy cheeks and brushed back the untamed russet locks of hair. Though he didn’t dare poke his grey-blue eyes, as that would hurt, he had done that before. Yes, he was very solid, and he had a reflection, so he wasn’t a vampire like Seifer said. Popping a cherry lollipop into his mouth he pondered over his problem.

He was all there in his brightest clothes, freshly pressed too. His feet were enclosed into somewhat worn white sneakers, but still very seeable. So, why is it that the adults who came to see them acted like he wasn’t even there? Humming, he crossed his arms, sucking harder on his candy treat and crossed his eyes in thought. ‘Maybe I’m only invisible to the adults...AWESOME!’ With these thoughts he set to planning little pranks he could play without getting caught.

Incredible how you can
See right through me

‘Sis,’ didn’t even crane her head toward him as she bypassed him. Squall bit at his lip, waving a small arm in her direction to draw her attention. True, he was shorter then her, but he was still standing in front of her. Yet, she just continued on, ignoring the youngster. Squall pondered on calling out, but she had such a look of concentration, maybe he shouldn’t...Though he had such an important question to ask her, as she was the only one who ever paid any attention to him. He couldn’t hold it and his mouth opened of its own violation.

"Sis, is it true that the monster in the fire place only eats brown-haired boy children?" He cried out in worried curiosity. Yet, it seemed as Sis’s vacant eyes slid over him and onto wherever she was going. She vanished into the skyline with nothing of a whisper and the swish of her dress. Squall tilted his head down sadly, Sis had ignored him again.

When you hear a sound
That you just can’t place
Feelin something move
That you just can’t trace

Young Squall sat huddled in the corner crying semi-loudly. He had scraped his knee, got picked on by Seifer, and ignored by another pair of possible parents. Matron had walked right by him several times, and Sis was no where to be found. The other orphan children only looked around once at the sound, completely bypassing his existence before going back to playing. After crying out all his tears, and hiccupping, he shook his head free of its headache. Standing up, he went over to play with Selphie and Quistis.

However, when he approached they didn’t look up. Squall figured they were too immense in building their block castle to acknowledge him. So, he just sat down and waited for an invitation, when that didn’t seem to work, he picked up a block and placed it on the castle turret. Neither girl seemed to notice, blinking surprised when they saw the completed turret before moving on.

Squall didn’t understand, and figured they were just being icky girls he went to play catch with Irvine and Zell. Yet, the situation didn’t improve, not even after he forcibly pushed Zell to the ground. Zell just stood up with a laugh as Irvine jibbed him and his clumsy steps. Nor did they turn attention when Squall easily snatched the ball out of the air and held it. They just shrugged and went hunting for the misplace ball, brushing right past young Squall.

When something sits
On the end of your bed
Don’t turn around
When you hear me tread.

Squall glanced at once was his best friend who was currently enraptured by the beauty sitting across from him. It was suppose to be a small guys party with a few chicks, but oh well. Squall had settled on his best friend’s bed for a quick breather when his friend had sat there as well. He had turned to flick the tv on ignoring the presence of Squall, when the female walked in. Squall just sighed, got up and walked out of the dorm room which had turned into a major party.

His steps took him through the curious wing, it was called this as there was always someone peeking out their door in curiosity. They didn’t even tilt their head in acknowledgment as he came close. Instead they merely blinked and shrugged off the fact they had just heard footsteps, sometimes muttering about ghosts.

I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man
It’s criminal how I can
See right through you

Finally a young girl of his age approached him with colored cheeks. Squall rolled his steel-grey eyes toward her and noted the blush before falling down to the paper in her hands. A red low grade caught his eye and he just sighed. The girl mumbled something, and Squall felt his heart squeeze. He was just so lonely, most just ignored his existence, so it was nice to be noticed, even if he was just going to be used.

"Leonheart-san?" She mumbled while twisting the paper.

"Whatever." He said and gestured to the seat beside him. Giving only one glance to the subject of the paper he pulled out the appropriate textbook and pulled up the matching website. After about ten seconds it became clear that the girl was here on a bet, probably one that included either his speech, or temperament.

And I’m in your room
And I’m bed
And I’m in your life
And I’m your head
Like the C.I.A.
Or the F.B.I.

Squall glanced over at his girlfriend, if she could be called that. For Rinoa had become more and more distant toward him after all they had been through. Sure she was still one of her topics of her conversation, admitted not of her favorites, as she said he brought up to many questions she was uncomfortable asking. Rinoa never explained what those questions were or why they were uncomfortable to be asked and answered.

You’ll never get close
Never take me alive

Rinoa had left him, but that was predictable in the end run anyway. However, since that happened many females had tried to take her place. Squall did not appreciate the shallowness of these actions and blatantly turn them down and away. He was not a piece of prime meat to be salivated over, devoured, and then wasted away. Squall was a person, why couldn’t they see that?

I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man
It’s criminal how I can
See right through you

Hah, hah, hah, hello
hah, hah, hah, ok
hah, hah, hah, hello-hello-hello-hello
Never had a real good friend- not a boy or a girl
No-one knows what I’ve been through
Let my flag unfurl
So I make my mark from the edge of the world
From the edge of the world
From the edge of the world

Squall laid down the winning cards, collecting his winnings and trophies with hardly a blink. He gave only a scattering gaze, noting that once again none of his friends had come to his tournament. Giving a subtle shrug he only left the arena, the cheers not being screamed from the fans. His player sign still burning brightly on the tele-screen with win glaring upon it.

He made his way back to his out of the way house. The garden he once resided in, brought no sense of self or comfort. Looking toward the horizon, he gave a flinch, there was an uneasy darkness growing. Along with strange monsters appearing in droves. True the fodder had been nothing for his Guardian Forces, but their numbers were increasing exponentially. That was worrisome, and foremost in his mind, but his letters had received no response from his friends.

Brian May- Brian May

Now I’m on your track
And I’m in your mind
And I’m on your back
But don’t look behind
I’m your meanest thought
I'm your darkest fear
But I’ll never get caught
You can’t shake me, shake me dear

Squall observed as the black heartless creatures gave him wide berth even though he hunted them down with a raging fury. They scurried from him with much haste, but they couldn’t escape the sweep of his gunblade or the call of his summons. It seemed ironic that these dark creatures couldn’t stand him and his battle lust. Away they ran, to their boss, as they must have had some brain power behind this whole plan of conquering. He had just brought down a larger dark creature the other day, it was some type of demi-monster boss. Though not even that could evade him as he cut the demi-boss down to size.

I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
Watch me now
I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man
It’s criminal how I can
See right through you
Look at me, look at me
R-R-R-R-Roger Taylor
Shake me, shake me, shake me dear
Sh-shake
Shake

Well now he was literally invisible as he flew through what looked like darkness and space. One of the dark creatures had knocked him into one of their portals. Obviously he was going to meet the head of this organization and he couldn’t wait. Maybe he could save the world again, its been awhile since he has had any true recognition. Not to mention it would be nice to get a good work out.

Fun.
