-----Author's Notes/Pairing/Etc.-----
Notes: Here I am with the first chapter of my 'Who Am I?' sequel. I wanna first take time to say 'Thank You!' to Flaming Soul. Also, I am now going to skip time into FFX-2 in this chapter. Which means that Rikku and Yuna will be wearing their FFX-2 outfits, and that Paine will be in this one. My original character, Leonn, will be in the same outfit as the first story. Here we go...
Pairing: Rikku/Yunie(of course) and I may create female characters to pair Paine and Leonn with. How bout some suggestions, eh? (like the type of character you think would work)
Length: 3-5 chapters.
Rating: PG13
Warnings: Hm... maybe an in-game-influenced fight-scene or two. Oh, And Rikku/Yuna moments of course.
Request: C'mon, people. If you don't like Rikku/Yuna, then please don't read my fic. I am not a fan of getting flames and they will be ignored if they are flames of the pairing. Oh yeah, If anyone who does read this fic knows of anymore Rikku/Yuna fics out there, then e-mail me and let me know, okay?
Shout-Out: To Flaming Soul! My bestest best online friend! I just wanna say thanks for being my friend.
And, If you that like Rikku/Yuna wanna read another Rikku/Yuna fanfic, go check out Flaming Soul's 'The Troubles of Love'!
-----Sphere Hunting-----
-Celsius/Cabin-
Yuna's sleeping in the center bed, Rikku's sprawled-out asleep in the right bed, and the bed where Paine should be sleeping is vacant... Suddenly, Yuna and Rikku are awakened by shouting echoing throughout the ship. Yuna sits up quickly and starts looking around with slightly wide eyes, wondering what's happening. However, Rikku slowly sits up and yawns, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
Rikku looks over to Yuna, "What's up, Yunie?" she asks, from her bed.
Yuna turns to the blonde Al Bhed, "I have no idea, I just woke up myself." she replies, blinking her mix-colored eyes twice.
"It's nothing to worry about." comes Paine's voice from the lower level of the Cabin.
Rikku and Yuna both get out of bed and walk over to the railing to see Paine sitting at Barkeep's counter, "Yeah but..." Yuna says, as she hears the shouting again and looks toward the Cabin's door, "What's all the shouting about?"
Paine sips her drink(no, it's not alcohol), "Just Brother and Leonn arguing." she replies.
"Aw, Man!" Rikku says, dropping part out her weight over the railing and letting one arm dangle down, "What about, this time?"
"Apparently, Buddy located a sphere in the Omega Ruins and Leonn thinks we should check it out, but Brother wants to stay away from that place." Paine explains, before taking another sip of her drink.
"Aw, Man!" Rikku says again, turning around to lay her back against the railing and looking up toward the ceiling, her blonde hair dangling over the rail. She adds, "He's probably just scared, big fraidy-cat." Yuna just blinks at the Al Bhed girl.
Soon, Yuna puts her right index finger to her chin and looks thoughtful(not to mention cute) for a few moments before asking Rikku, "Um, You think we should go talk to them, Rikku?"
Rikku hops up to a standing position and spins to Yuna, "Good idea, Yunie!" she exclaims, with a big smile, "Before Leonn makes ground-beef outta Brother!"
Yuna nods and the two head down the steps to the lower level of the Cabin, then out the door toward the elevator. Paine merely sips her drink again, 'Not that that would be a bad idea...' she says to herself, blinking her red eyes once.
-Celsius/Bridge-
The elevator door opens to reveal Rikku and Yuna, who exit the elevator and head toward the door to the Bridge. When the Bridge's door opens, the two girls see Leonn and Brother standing roughly in the center of the room and shouting back-and-forth.
"I am leader! ME!" Brother shouts, still not fluent in non-Al Bhed language, "I decide where we go!"
"You idiot! You may be the pilot of the Celsius-" Leonn responds in a shout, "But, The Gullwings are sphere-hunters! That means we go where the spheres are!"
"Hey!" Rikku shouts, hopping over the rail, "Cut it out, you two!"
"Yes." they hear Yuna's voice say, causing all three to look toward where she's standing at the base of the stairs. Yuna has her hands clasped together infront of her and has an almost pleading expression, "Please, Stop arguing." she says.
'Aww, Yunie's sooo cute!' Rikku mentally states, smiling with a slight tint of pink on her cheeks.
"Dah!" Leonn says, throwing his hand up, "The idiot ain't worth my time!" he walks over to a seat(where Shinra sits in the actual game) and sits down, laying the handle of his nodachi against the front of his right shoulder with the tip of the blade against the floor and he crosses his legs.
Brother walks back toward the pilot's seat, mumbling some kind of insult in Al Bhed at Leonn under his breath as he does.
"E raynt dryd, puharayt!" responds Leonn, in Al Bhed also.
Brother starts to respond again, however, Rikku interrupts him, "Guys! Guys!" she says, "Why don't we let Yunie decide?"
After a few moments, Leonn and Brother both agree on letting Yuna decide whether to go after the sphere or not. 'Phew!' Rikku mentally breathes a sigh of relief as she brushes her right forearm across her forehead, then she looks toward Yuna and throws her a quick wink and a smile.
"Um, Can I think about it?" Yuna asks everyone, then yawns slightly, "Right now, I would like to finish getting my rest." Leonn, Buddy, and Brother agree... and, of course, Rikku's more than in agreement, as she wants to finish her nap as well. So, Yuna and Rikku decide to head back to the Cabin in order to finish their naps.
-Celsius/Cabin-
"Really?" Paine says, after hearing how things went down on the Bridge, "So, Yuna, You're going to decide?" Yuna nods, then Paine asks, "Well, Which one is it?"
"Um, I don't know..." Yuna responds, then looks over at Rikku, "What do you think, Rikku?"
Rikku hops back on her bed and lays back slightly, bracing her weight on her hands and looking up at the ceiling, "Well... I would like to find out, but... I don't wanna put my friends in danger." she blinks her eyes three times.
"Don't worry about us, Rikku." Paine responds, "Especially me. As long as I'm not bored, I'm fine."
"Yes, Rikku." Yuna adds, causing Rikku to look at her, "If it is important to you, then it is to me as well." she smiles at the blonde Al Bhed girl.
Rikku returns Yuna's smile and says, "Thanks Yunie." then turns to Paine, "And you too, Paine." she adds, "So, Why don't we take a vote? All in favor of finding that sphere, raise your hands!" each of the three girls raises their right hand and Rikku hops up to her feet, "Well then, Let's go get that sphere!" she states, cheerfully, "Uh..." her eyelids drop halfway, "Right after we finish our naps..." she says as she falls back onto her bed, falling asleep almost impossibly fast.
Yuna walks over to Rikku's bed and frees the cover from under the girl, then pulls it up to tuck her in. The former High Summoner places a kiss on Rikku's forehead and then smiles down at her, before she notices Paine's stare and turns to her, "What?" she asks, blushing slightly.
Paine just smiles, "Nothing." she says, then starts down the steps, "You two are cute, you know." this causes Yuna's blush to deepen slightly, as the silver-gray haired girl proceeds down the stairs to lower level of the Cabin.
It's no secret to the crew of the Celsius that Yuna and Rikku are a 'couple', but they decided at the beginning that they wouldn't flaunt their relationship. Yuna looks down at Rikku once more, sleeping peacefully, smiles and then walks over to her own bed. She sits on the bed and yawns, covering her mouth with her hand and then lays down, pulling her cover up over her as she does.
-----!!To Be Continued!!-----
Ramblings: Well, Chapter 1's finished. So, What do you think? A-anyway, This is the sequel to my FFX Rikku/Yuna fic, 'Who Am I?', and well... you'll have to read the rest of the fic to know exactly what's going to happen. Oh, Chapter 2 is going to focus on the search in the Omega Ruins and the sphere that's there. Al Bhed translation as follows:
"I heard that, bonehead!" responds Leonn, in Al Bhed also.
Yep, There was only one Al Bhed line to translate. Welp, I guess that's it for this here chapter. Ja til Chapter 2.
