HAH! I did it again! Another RikkuxGippal fic!
Yup, I just had this weird idea of how fun would it be if Rikku became obsessed with Gippal...like LeBlanc obsessed with Nooj obsessed...
I thought of putting it in my other RikkuxGippal fic, but I couldn't find a perfect place in the plot...so what's a guy to do? Write it in another fanfic of course!
This fic may seem a little weird, but it's going to be a lot of humor and even MORE fluffy scenes! So could ya please review? Please?
Who are you? What have you done to the real Rikku!?
"Come on Yunie!" Rikku whined. "Let's go!"
"Just a sec!" Yuna said as she gazed out over the cliff, Tidus standing next to her.
"But it's freezing!" Rikku rubbed her shoulders.
"Maybe if you'd start wearing a little more decent clothing, it'd get warmer." Paine stated coldly.
It had been one year since the Vegnagun incident, and the Gullwings were having a little reunion party, well, road trip party at least. They were all traveling Spira to check up on old friends, they were currently at Ghagazet, Khimari was with them, checking up on things.
Right after they had defeated Vegnagun and Tidus and Yuna had reunited, the Gullwings had disbanded. Rikku, Brother and Buddy had tried to keep it up and recruit some new members, but for some reason they were unsuccessful. Yuna was now living in Besaid again, with her beloved Tidus. Paine moved to Bevelle were she had a 'secret' relationship with the New Yevon praetor Baralai. Rikku was currently running a delivery company along with Buddy and Brother onboard of the Celsius. Shinra joined the Kinderguardians and was now busy playing, but he was also making a lot of gil thanks to the commspheres which he had started mass-producing, the Machine faction had helped him funding it, apparently Gippal had seen that the invention would be quite useful.
"Hey Brother!" Tidus called out as he stood at the cliff were he and the others had defeated Seymour three years ago. "Could ya take a picture of us?"
"You got it!" Brother said and held up the sphere camera as Yuna and Tidus snuggled up close to eachother. Brother had long gotten over Yuna, he had finally understood how little chance he had with his cousin.
Just as Brother started filming, a snowball hit Tidus face.
"Rikku!" He yelled as he and Yuna molded up snowballs themself.
Rikku laughed and hid behind Khimari who was standing silently by the mountain trail. He moved away with perfect timing for Tidus to hit Rikku's back.
"Aaaah!" Rikku squeaked and brushed the snow away. "Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cooooooold!"
Everybody laughed as she skipped around in circles shivering.
"Why you…" She said angrily and picked up more snow, but just as she pulled her arm back, ready to fire off, something furry landed on her head, making her bandana slid down over her eyes, and more to it, the thing was moving.
"Ah! What's this!?" Rikku yelled trying to grab the thing that was attacking her hair.
The others laughed even harder, but stopped as they heard Rikku squeak in pain.
Rikku clutched her hand as the thing jumped off of her; it was a monkey, an orange white monkey, it had small yellow eyes, bat like ears and a very long tail. It just stood there staring curiously at Rikku before it ran off.
"Owie…" Rikku sobbed gently.
"Let me see." Yuna said as she took Rikku's hand in hers. "Well, atleast it didn't leave a wound." She smiled gently.
"Passion monkey." Khimari said as his eyes followed the monkey. "Bites hard, but leave no scar, first time Khimari sees on."
"You sure they're not dangerous?" Rikku asked as she examined her hand.
"Not dangerous to Ronso," Khimari said. "Khimari not know if dangerous to Rikku."
Rikku suddenly started to feel a little dizzy, maybe it was dangerous to humans.
"Rikku?" Buddy said. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm just…" Rikku said as she shook her head gently, trying to get rid of the weird feeling filling her mind. "…just feeling a little weird…"
Suddenly, she felt a new feeling, a passion she hadn't felt in years, right now she had only one thing in mind, and that thing wore an eye patch.
She beamed at the others and said "Let's go to Djose!"
"Huh?" Paine frowned.
"Djose!" Rikku repeated, still smiling madly. "Come on let's go!" Then she started to run towards the mountain trail, to take the teleport to where they parked the Celsius.
"Rikku, wait up!" Yuna yelled and ran after her.
"Rikku!" Brother yelled. " Oui'na hud tnejehk so creb! (You're not driving my ship!)"
Then the others ran after her too, leaving only Khimari behind.
Djose temple
"Hey guys!" Gippal yelled across the room. "Where're the parts I asked for?"
Djose temple was just as hectic as always. Gippal had gotten tired of doing interviews all day so he put some other poor soul to that task. So instead of asking a bunch of bold questions (do you, or do you not wanna dig?) he enjoyed himself tinkering with machina.
"Drao'na uh draeh fyo pucc! (They're on their way boss!)" Gippal's second in command, Sheila, yelled from the other side of the room as she looked up from behind her papers.
Gippal sighed; it was hard to make good machina when you didn't have the right parts. Most of the time, Gippal only had two things in mind; girls, and machina. Yup, the girls were crazy about him. He never stayed with a girl for a long time though; most of his relationships didn't last longer than a night, except once….Gippal chuckled as he remembered all the fun times he had shared with Rikku.
"I need some air!" He said and laughed. Thinking of Rikku sure made him feel better, but then came the memory of when they had to break up. Yup, he went of for Crimson squad training, and she ran off to salvage machina, that's how it was. They still had fun though, always teasing eachother for no apparent reason, but Gippal had never really thought of going back into a relationship with her again, and he was pretty sure Rikku felt the same.
He walked down the stairs of the Cloister of trial and crossed the main hall, but before he could reach the doors, they opened, and there she stood, smiling sweetly at him.
'Speak of the devil.' Gippal thought.
"Hey, what's Cid's girl doing here, huh?" He greeted her, but instead of answering, she ran up to him and literally jumped at him, making him fall to the floor with her on top of him. She smiled sneakily at his startled face.
"You can call me whatever you want," She cooed. "But I'd still rather be 'Gippal's girl'…"
"Huh?" Gippal's eyes widened. "Rikku, what're ya talking about?"
Rikku Giggled. "I'm talking about the fact that I think we should take up were we left off…and be a couple again!"
Gippal's eyes widened even more, he sat up and quickly and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Who are you?" He demanded quickly. "What have you done to Rikku!?"
Rikku just giggled and snuggled up to him. This was SO not like Rikku.
Suddenly the doors flew open again, this time revealing Yuna, Tidus and Paine.
"Could ANY of you explain this?" Gippal asked and pointed down at Rikku who was currently hugging his waist.
"We were just about to ask you the same." Paine said and crossed her arms.
"Does it LOOK like I know what she's doing?" Gippal asked sarcastically.
"To me it looks like she's hugging you…" Yuna said and giggled. "…tightly that is."
"That still doesn't explain WHY!" Gippal said stood up, trying to make Rikku let go of his waist. "Has she been eating anything weird or something?"
"No." Yuna said. "But I think…maybe it has something to do with the Passion monkey…" She turned to look at Paine, as if to make her confirm it.
"Could be." Paine said and nodded.
"Monkey?" Gippal asked, still trying to make Rikku let go of him, but every time he made her loose her grip she just jumped back and clung onto his arm.
"She got bitten by a weird monkey at Mt Ghagazet." Tidus said.
"Wait, so you're saying she's….sick?" Gippal asked, concern in his voice as he stopped the struggle to make Rikku let go.
"It may be some kind of disease!" Yuna said and gasped as she realized it might be something dangerous.
"That settles it!" Gippal said and picked Rikku up and carried her in his arms, making her giggle.
"Jarra! Ku kad Nedara!" Gippal said to one of his workers, then he walked into the room next to the stairs, also know as 'his' room. The others followed him inside, he sat Rikku down on the bed and then sat down next to her. Rikku immediately leaned her head against his shoulder, but Gippal took her by the shoulder and held her at arms length.
"Rikku, how are you feeling?" He asked her gently and looked her in the eyes.
"As if I couldn't' live without you!" She said sweetly as she looked at him with a dreamy look on her face.
Gippal stared at her as if he couldn't' believe his ears. She hadn't said anything like that to him ever, not even when they were a couple.
Suddenly a woman entered the room, she wore leather clothing with belt straps all over, she also had some small devices and chemicals hanging in a belt around her waist. Yuna and Paine could clearly see that she was an alchemist, since they had each a dressphere with the same accessories.
"You wanted to see me?" She asked.
"Yeah," Gippal said and stood up. "Could you run a check on Rikku? She's acting a little….strange."
"Could you define 'strange'?" The woman said and chuckled.
"She's not being herself, that's all…she got bitten by some kind of monkey at Mt Ghagazet…" Gippal said quietly.
"Alright, I'll see what I can do!"
"Thanks." Gippal said and made to leave the room, but Rikku's voice interrupted him.
"Gippal? Where are you going?" She asked anxiously and stood up. "Who's she?"
"This is Nedara, Rikku…" Gippal said and made Rikku sit down again. "She's gonna run a quick check on you, just to make sure that monkey bite didn't make you sick."
"But I'm fine, look!" Rikku smiled and showed him her hand.
Gippal chuckled and ruffled up Rikku's hair. "Don't' worry, Nedara's not dangerous…you're not afraid are ya?" He asked and narrowed his eyes.
"Nuh-uh!" Rikku said cockily. "You're not gonna leave are you?" She asked and took Gippal's hand, looking anxious again.
"I'll be just outside the door." Gippal gave her a small smile before he left with Yuna, Tidus and Paine.
"Okay, so she's totally obsessed with me…" Gippal said and flung his arms into the air.
"Sounds like a brain damage to me." Paine said smugly.
"Sounds like love to me!" Tidus smirked.
"And..uh..who are you?" Gippal asked, he hadn't really noticed Tidus earlier.
"Oh!" Yuna said, how could she forget to introduce Gippal to her fiancée? "This is Tidus, my boyfriend!"
"Hela du saad oui! (Nice to meet you!)" Tidus said and shook Gippal's hand.
Gippal smirked. "Oui cbayg Al-bhed? (You speak Al-bhed?)"
"Oayr, (Yeah)" Tidus said. "Rin dryikrd sa. (Rin thaught me.)"
Gippal chuckled. "So I guess you're the blitz player from Zanarkand?"
"You could say so." Tidus said and he too chuckled.
"Okay, back to the matter at hand." Paine said irritably. "What are we gonna do about Rikku?"
"Dunno." Gippal said and shrugged. "Let's hear what Nedara has to say about it."
So they waited a couple of minutes before Nedara emerged from the room.
"So, you know what's wrong with her doc?" Gippal asked.
"Nothing physically, she just seems to be obsessed with you." Nedara said. "She wouldn't stop talking about what a cute and handsome guy you were, or how much she loved your spiky hair, and how cool you look with that gorgeous eye patch and-"
"Alright I get the picture!" Gippal interrupted.
Nedara smirked. "My diagnosis; it's up here." She pointed at her own head. "I'm not really sure what it is, but apparently that bite had something to do with it, there was no wound, but I took a blood test and it seems a very week impulse was sent through her veins."
Yuna looked extremely worried.
"Don't worry, I doubt it's something dangerous!" Nedara said when she saw Yuna's expression. "But, I think it would be best to let her have what she wants."
"What do you mean?" Gippal asked.
Nedara smiled wickedly. "I think it's quite obvious what she wants."
"Oh man!" Gippal groaned.
"Just be there for her," Nedara said. "Just make sure she always knows where you are, that'll make her feel safe, but don't take advantage of her."
"Like I'd do something like that!" Gippal said angrily.
"I guess you better pack your things then!" Yuna said and giggled.
"Huh?" Gippal arched an eyebrow.
"Do you actually think we'd let her stay here alone with YOU?" Paine asked and smirked.
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?" Gippal asked.
"You're coming with us!" Yuna said cheerfully.
"What!?"
"I'll tell Sheila that you're leaving." Nedara said and walked up the stairs.
"Hey wait!" Gippal said.
"I'll go to Bevelle and check if they have any info about the monkey in their archives." Paine said and walked over to the doors.
"Off to Besaid then!" Tidus said and followed Paine. Yuna ran up to the doors leading into Gippal's room and opened them.
"Rikku!" She yelled in a singing voice. "Gippal's coming with us to Besaid!"
"Really!?" Rikku's cheerful voice could be heard.
"Aww man!" Gippal groaned.
Well? How was it? Was it funny?
Okay, I know, it wasn't THAT funny...but hey, gimme a break it's just the first chap! I'll put the second one up soon so review kay?
