AN: Wellz this is my second fanfic. I got tired of working on the other, and was lost as to what to do. I've wanted to write a story with Lulu and Rikku for a while. So please read and enjoy. ..
Lulu stood, starring down the cliff. The Wolf slid, crashing, howling, into the dark. The dark mage sighed as she pulled a strand of hair out of her face. Turning, she and walked back tword the road. The others where just running up to see her coming back. "What happened?" Asked a suprised Wakka.
"Nothing" Lulu replied as she clutched her moogle closer."Lets keep moving. It will be dark soon." She began to walk off.
Rikku came to stand by Wakka. "Whats up with her today?" She asked him, a puzzled look on her face.
"I don't know, ya?" Wakka said shrugging his shoulders. "Come on Rikku. We betta catch up." He began to jog after the others. Rikku stood back still puzzled beofre running to catch up.
They came to an inn just as the sun was setting. Rikku walked in and quickly ran to the front desk, happy to see Al Behd around. While Rikku was talking, Auronn and Yuna went to a corner of the room to discuss plans. Wakka and Tidus sat by talking about blitz ball. Lulu was examining the books on the many shelves. She raised an eyebrow as she translated a bit of the Al Behd. She had been studying it some, but she still didn't know a lot. Startled as Rikku tapped her on the shoulder, Lulu jumped. Rikku had a smile as she tilted her kid like face to the side, arms crossed. "Gotcha!"
Lulu glared. "As I can see." She turned, and walked twords the room she was given. "I'm tired. I think I'll turn in." The dark mage said to everyone as she walked up the small flight of stairs that led to the rooms.
Rikku tilted her head as she watched her walk, her dress swishing back and forth with every movement. Tidus came to stand by her. "You alive in there, Rikku?" Rikku relized she had been starring, her face turned beet red. "Yes. I'm alright." She said to him as she sat down on a chair in the lobby. Tidus took A seat by her. He looked tword the stairs, at Rikku, and then to Yuna. He shook the thoughts away from his head as he leaned back making himself comfortable, let his eyes shut.
"Ha!" Came a voice as Tidus went flying from his chair. Wakka stood with his arms crossed, laughing. "I gotcha, ya?" He said as he threw his head back to laugh again. Tidus glared and shook his head. "Oh come on!" Wakka moaned" Tidus made a hand gesture before turning back around and running after Wakka. Wakka's eyes grew large as the star blitzer tackled him. He fell hard on his back and restled with the blond. They both laughed having fun.
Rikku looked back to the stairs and sighed as she stood. "I'm going to bed." She walked tword the stairs. The boys stopped long enough to nod in aknowlagment to Rikku. Yuna and Auron nodded as well. She knocked on the door her and Lulu where to share. "Come in" came the soft, husky reply. Rikku slowly pushed the door open and gave Lulu a half smile. Lulu nodded and stood, walking across the room to retrieve something from a table in the room.
Rikku sighed as she plopped down on the empty bed, throwing herself back, and looking up at the ceiling. Closing her eyes she drifted off.
Lulu glanced over at her, smiled some, and turned to work on her spell books.
The next morning Rikku was softly shaken by dark, strong hands. Wakka's face was right over her. She blinked, bit her lip, and jumped off the other side of the bed. "Ahhh! God Wakka. You scared me!"
Seeing that he accomplished something he threw his head back and laughed. "Ha, ha, ha. I did? What a good laugh, ya?"
Rikku glared, stood up, and brushed herself off. "What time is it?"
"Time to go." Wakka stopped laughing and got seriouse. "How late did ya stay up? You slept in too late. Auron made me come in her to get you, ya."
She nodded as she picked her bags up. "Alright. Tell them I'll be right down." Wakka nodded and left. When he was gone Rikku turned to the other bed to see a spell book under it. She bent down to pick it up. Sure enough it was Lulu's that she had carelessly left. But that's not like her. Rikku told herself. She shrugged it off and grabbed her stuff. Shutting the door she walked down the stairs and out to meet the others.
The sun was bright and warming. She looked up at the sky shadding her eyes, smiling she looked around for Lulu. She saw the mage standing by a cliff. She walked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. "You forgot this." She said, handing the spell book to her.
"Thank you." Lulu said, a puzzled look on her face. Aparantly she had no idea she had left it, and it puzzled her that she could.
Rikku shrugged and smiled. "No problem" She said as she winked and ran off to join the others. Lulu stood a while watching her. She shut her dark eyes, sighed, and shook her head.
The walk that day was a nice one, and the group didn't run into too many fiends. When they did they took them out with ease. Infact it was soo layed back, that they sort of worried. Their eyes where always open. They where ready, and a good thing too. Because suddenly a fiend with long tenticules and sharp teeth jumped out. It looked like it was a plant type, and Lulu was quick to attack. She used Firaga on the beast. All her companions cheered her on as the flames ingulfed the fiend, but as soon as the smoke cleared they fell silent. Stunned they drew their weapons. This battle wasn't going to be as easy as they thought. They got into battle stances as the fiend raised a spiked tenticle. Slime oozed from its poors. It screamed as the tenticule went straight for Rikku.
AN:Well I hope you enjoyed it. I think it's better than my earlier series, but Iunno. It was easier to write and all. So I think I will continue this one for a while. Hope you enjoyed ..
