Chapter 1

Eyes of an Angel

Paine was on the Deck of the Celsius where she was enjoying the view and silence. She loved the feel of the wind blowing through her hair.

'The Celsius is quiet.....Perfect' Paine thought as she enjoyed the peace that she was getting.

"Everyone report to the Bridge now!" A high voice said through the intercom,obviously too high for Paine's thought of silence

sigh 'So much for Perfect....' With that she ran to the Bridge

"Whats up Rikku?" Yuna said as she arrived a bit late than Paine

"Well it has come to my attention that there's a rare sphere located around Besaid." Rikku replied,pacing around

"So?" Paine said,not in the mood for hunting spheres

"So! We get that sphere,watch it,and sell it!" Rikku said deviously

"Money? Count me out." Paine said turning back

"Oh c'mon Paine it'll be fun!" Rikku said trying to encourage Paine to join

"I said no." Paine replied,where Rikku turned to her cousin: Yuna

"Rikku's right Paine it'll be fun,care to change your mind?" Yuna said her soft voice ringing through Paine's ears.

'Yuna....if only you knew that I wanted you to be near me. ' With a sigh Paine turned around to see Yuna's eyes. And when she did a warm feeling took over her body

"Alright." Was Paine's only answer

"Yay! Maybe now I don't have to worry about fiends stronger than me." Rikku said bouncing up and down

"Or maybe I won't look after your back Rikku." Paine said sarcastically

"Aww...but..." Rikku said as she sulked

"Don't worry Rikku,Paine was only kidding." Yuna said trying to cheer her sulking cousin. Where Yuna looked at Paine and smiled warmly

'Oh god...that smile. I would do anything to recieve another one.'

"Don't worry Rikku I was kidding." Paine said as Rikku returned to her bouncing state

"That cheered her up." Yuna said to Paine

"It looks like it." Paine said

"Thanks." Yuna said giving yet another smile that made Paine's heart melt

'Yuna...if only you knew what kind of affects you have on me.'

"Off to Besaid!" Rikku said leading the team.

"Whoa! Looks like we're not alone." Rikku said as she was pointing to groups of Sphere hunters

"This Sphere must be very rare to attract this many groups." Paine said

"Well They'll be dissapointed when we snatch it first!" Yuna said excitingly

"Yeah! Lets go!" Rikku said as Paine just shrugged. Y R P ran towards the cave and stopped abruptly as they saw everyone fighting fiends.

"The path is clear. Lets go!" Yuna said as she and the others ran to catch their prize

"Uh-oh." Rikku said as the gang ran into a fire breathing dragon

"Look!" Paine pointed,there was a nest and three eggs and one of them was a sphere

"It think we're after the eggs...we have no choice lets battle!" Yuna said as they engaged the dragon

The dragon made the first move by clawing Rikku,Rikku dodges the attack and countered it with one of her own. Yuna transformed into a Black Mage and started to cast Blizzaga on the dragon. Paine attacked the dragon with her Excalibur. The dragon roared in pain but still kept on fighting.

'Geez! This dragon is stubborn.'

Paine kept on hitting it with her best strikes. With the dragons last strength it scored a critical hit on scratching Paine's leg. Paine refues to scream,but still she was wounded badly

"Paine!" Yuna's voice rang through her head as she was knocked out...

'Yuna...' That was the last thing she thought after she faded out
