Songs of Fire

Songfics all about RikkuXZack. Each story has a different scenerio.

Good and Broken

Includes elementals, abusive father, and Rikku's werewolf curse.

Rikku couldn't believe her luck. All she had wanted to do was go up to her suite, take a nice warm bath, and cuddle up in her warm bed. Instead, on her way to her suite, she had been 'kidnapped' by her least favorite person in the world, Zack Martin. He snuck up behind her and grabbed her. "Arg! Zack, let me go!" she struggled out of his grip.

"Not yet," he said, pulling her into the elevator.

"Why?" she asked confused.

"Just wait," he said and pressed the button that said 'roof'. They stepped of the elevator as it reached the roof.

"What are we doing up here?" Rikku asked.

"I just wanted to show you something. I sometimes come up her at night, and the view is amazing. I thought I'd show you," he said.

Rikku looked up to the sky. She could see millions and millions of stars.

There's a risk worth taking
A pain worth aching
On this hollow ground

"It is amazing," she said gazing up. Though she quickly snapped back to reality. "Okay, what's the catch?"

"What do you mean?" he asked in puzzlement. Fake puzzlement, Rikku told herself.

"Well, usually, you'd take this time to ask me out, or try to make out with me," she said.

"I didn't bring you up here for that, I just thought you'd like the view," Zack said.

"Un huh, well, I do like the view," she said.Then she begged,"Please don't ruin the moment."

"Rikku, I would never even dream of ruining a moment as meaningful as this one," he said, over dramatically clasping his hands over his heart.

Rikku laughed, "So, I take it you have changed?"

"Yeah. It's like what I've been trying to show you, I'm not a bad guy once you get to know me," he said turning to her, and she found herself lost in his eyes.

"You're right, you have changed," she said softly, as they both leaned in. They titled their heads, and slowly kissed.

We can let go
Don't hold on to all of life's hardest parts
When we think of stopping
Let's keep on rocking
To the rhythm of our hearts

Rikku got herself lost in the kiss, but reality tore her away. "What is it?" Zack asked.

"Look, Zack, you're really sweet, and I really like you, but we can't be together," she said softly, trying to break it gently.

'Why not?" he asked confused.

"Look," she began, "I don't how to tell, so I'll just say it, I have a curse placed on me, every full moon I turn into a werewolf-" he gasped, and she continued, " Core is after me because of it. And my dad is abusing me," she told him.

"What does all that have to do with anthing?" he asked.

"Don't you see, Zack?" Rikku turned to him, and started walking around. "If you and me were together, you'd be in huge danger, almost three times much as now. I don't want to see you get hurt, I care about you too much," she said.

"But-" Zack started. He was cut off.

"But, nothing, I'm really sorry, Zack," with that she left the rooftop, leaving Zack good and broken.

We can
Break out of here
Jump on over there
Where the air is clearer
We can
Forget the pace
Win in our own race
Become a broken chain
We are broken chains
Good and broken
