Chapter 1

Rikku kneel toward the machina as she began to fix the old junkie, which was found in the Bikanel desert three days ago. She smiled in surprise to know that this machina was older than Lenne and Shuyin, no wonder she was finding the system so complex, but that did not dismay the Al Bhed girl, by the contrary it only stimulated her. Rikku just loved any challenge.

Concentrated on her work, Rikku did not hear the footsteps that approached. His presence was only acknowledge when he loudly cleared his throat uneasily. Rikku hearing the sound, gazed up at the person briefly before returning to her work.

"Hey Brother." She greeted cheerfully, while grabbing a tool upon the table.

"Rikku...I um...have a favor, right." Brother started speaking nervously, while praying that his little sister would not get mad at him.

Her smile slowly faded away as a frown formed upon her face. This did not sound good. "What do you need now." She asked.

"Well, you see it's something really simple." Brother proceeded calmly.

"Simple, huh?"

"Yeah, simple." Brother repeated, "Really simple Rikku."

"So why are you so nervous?" She asked with a questioning look, which made Brother uncomfortable.

"Nervous, me? I am never nervous!" He lied, trying to maintain his cool.

Rikku laughed at his state before standing up and wiping her forehead with the back of her hand. She then looked at him with a grin and shock her head. "You know Brother, you'll never change."

Brother sheepishly smiled back. "What can I say, women like Brother this way."

Rikku only laughed some more. "Ok, how much do you need this time?" She asked while taking her wallet from inside her pocket.

Brother suddenly began to feel nervous once again. "No money Rikku. It's a favor."

She frowned. "What kind of favor?"

He tried to smile, but could see trouble ahead of him. Brother knew that his little sister would kill him like she would a fiend. "Well Rikku...like I said, it's a simple favor."

"Spill it Brother! I don't have all day." Rikku now demanded.

"So that you know Rikku, dear sister, this was not my idea." He started.

"Not your idea huh?" Her eyebrow raised in suspicion, causing Brother to gulp. "Go on." Rikku encouraged.

"You see, I lost a bet." Brother began explaining uneasily.

"As if that's a surprise." Rikku mockingly replied.

Brother would usually defend himself, but he let that one pass, since he knew that this little favor he was asking was not quite that simple. Before Brother could continue, footsteps were heard approaching and soon another person was joining inside the tent.

Rikku gazed away from Brother, who seemed to be panicking now, as her emerald eyes settled onto the visitor. He was a tall Al Bhed, wearing a black eye-patch over his right eye. His gloved hand raked the messy blond hair away from his tanned face, where you could see a big smirk on his lips.

"Hey Cid's girl, you ready?" Gippal spoke with a grin.

"Ready for what?" She questioned in confusion, until she realized what was going on.

Rikku quickly turned her gaze back at Brother and glared furiously at him. "What did you promise him!" She now demanded.

"I...um..." Brother stuttered in fright.

"You mean you don't know." Gippal asked surprised and then began to laugh. "Brother I thought you said it was all settled."

"Technically it isn't!" Rikku frowned. "Now tell me what this favor is all about Brother!"

Brother suddenly cowered as he saw the rage inside of Rikku's emerald eyes. He really did mess this up didn't he? Now there was no way to back things up, he had to face his problem, even if this meant being tortured by Rikku in the end.

"I promised Gippal that you...well...um...would be his...servant." Brother finally explained.

"What!" Rikku shout out in disbelief.

"There are conditions of course." Brother quickly spoke, "One, you must be fed. Two you must have hours of sleep, and three, you must not be abused."

Rikku groaned, "That makes me feel much more better." She sarcastically replied.

"See, I told you it was simple." Brother spoke with a smile, not really getting Rikku's sarcastic tone.

Gippal only chuckled to see the Al Bhed girl frown at her brother, and he back away as quick as possible. "Alright then, Cid's girl pack your bags and follow me."

"Hey wait a minute!" Rikku complained. "What do you mean pack your bags? This is a one thing event, right?" She now questioned.

Gippal only smirked while Brother stared down at the floor uneasily. "Right?" Rikku emphasized in hope to hear that she was correct.

"I um..." Brother started once again nervously, but was cut off.

"Sorry Cid's girl, but you'll be serving me for a month." Gippal explained with a smirk.

"A month!" Rikku exclaimed.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you." Gippal assured with a chuckle, making her glare at him. "But of course, you can always back away in your promise." Gippal then added with a knowing smile, for he had just hit one of Rikkus' weak point.

Rikku never broke a promise, even though it was made by her Brother, she always kept her word. No matter how absurd the promise might be, Rikku had never given up in fulfilling her task.

"Lets get this thing over with." Rikku spoke with a sigh.

Holding her head up high, Rikku walked away from the tent followed by Gippal, who silently laughed. This certainly was going to be fun!
