Okay this was just something that randomly popped into my head when I was listening to some random song and I guess I just got writing, anyway hope you enjoy.

The start of a new beginning
The clanging of metal on metal could be heard for miles as the two proud fighters collided over and over again. One a strong warrior, the other a lightning quick thief. Both would sooner fight a fiend more than each other but unfortunately today one too many teasing insults had been thrown towards them both, mainly coming from each other. The two's breathing started becoming hindered as they relentlessly attacked each other again and again.
Off in the distance a young gunner stood atop a large ship watched as the two continued attacking with the intention to batter each other to dead. She sighed deciding to leave the two alone for the time being as she knew they would eventually grow weak and become unable to continue fighting at this pace. She was afraid though that the two would never recover their friendship after this argument, as she had never seen them openly attack one another like this before. Of course she had seen them spar together before but that was always friendly and they had always held their punches, but at she watched them now she could see they were going all out. She feared that one of them would get seriously injured beyond repair.
With one last look though she walked away heading back into the ship leaving the two to battle it out in the forest of Macalarnia woods.
The two keep striking and striking, only to be blocked and countered by the other, causing an endless cycle to begin and only achieving to ware the other out more and more as well as themselves. Until, their blades clashed causing them to struggle to push themselves away; they stayed struggling for a while until the young thief decided to speak.
"Why do you do it? Why do you have to try and get under my skin all the time? Why?"
"What if I told you it's the only way I get a reaction from you? And that to me any reaction from you is a good one?" the young warrior replied as she continued to struggle with the thief.
"And what if I told you that you could get a better reaction out of me?" the thief retorted as she found a new bit of strength in herself at the warrior's confession.
"I'd ask how that was possible"
Before anymore could be said on the matter the young thief leaned over the weapons they still held in their hands and leant up slightly as she captured the warrior's soft lips with her own. The silver haired warrior dressed in black and red stopped breathing for a moment as shock washed over her, but before long she closed her eyes and relaxed into the kiss.
As the thief pulled away her long blonde hair swayed slightly in the light breeze that had begun to blow around the two.
They stood there staring into each others eyes for a long moment, forgetting all about the stupid fight they were having, as swirly emerald eyes stared into ruby red orbs they saw the longing they both shared. Their weapons dropped to the ground with a thump as they both took a small step towards each other, neither one breaking eye contact with the other.
This time it was the warrior that leaned down and kissed the slightly shorter teen, who stepped slightly closer as she wrapped her arms around the warrior's neck as she deepened the kiss. The young thief felt the older girl's arms snake their way around her small waist and pull her into a tight embrace, and for the first time in a long time she felt truly safe.
Finally giving in to the need of oxygen the two pulled away slightly form each other yet again, but stayed in the embrace as they both breathed heavily while smiling sweetly at one another.
"I never would have thought you'd react like that." The young al-behd said as she got her breath back "I thought you'd just get angry and never talk to me again."
"So why take the chance?" the warrior questioned absent mind-idly as she reached up and brushed a few stands of stray blonde hair out of the thief's beautiful face.
"Because if you never take a chance at life you never really get to live life to its fullest and well…I guess in a way I…I just had to know." The blonde replied as a small blush creped its way onto her face as she gently stroked her lean fingers down the warrior's face, she began to gaze adoringly into the warrior's ruby red eyes as a small smile placed itself onto her lips.
"Its funny how that happens isn't it? Your curiosity gets the better of you and it ends up changing your life. Whether it be for the better or for the worst." The warrior says as she returns the girls adoring gaze.
"So which is it this time?"
Their tones had become hushed as they started to get lost in each others eyes instead of paying attention to the conversation they were having.
"For the better I think."
"You think?" The blonde raised an eyebrow at the speculation in the others voice as her head drifted slightly closer to the warrior's.
"Yeah I think." Was the only reply the younger teen got before she was pulled into another kiss that caused her to stop with shock at first but as the kiss began to deepen she found herself lost in the sensation which caused her to sigh with happiness.
As they pulled away again they noticed that it had begun to rain causing them both to shiver slightly as the water seeped into their clothes.
The blonde began to run her fingers through the warrior's fairly short silver hair and she thought of how long she had wished to do just this, to be this close to the girl. She whispered to the girl as she continued to run her fingers through the warrior's wet hair. "I love the way your hair is when it's wet. Did you know that?"
A dangerous glint found its way into the older woman's eyes as she chuckled slightly before answering. "No but I guess I do now" the warrior removed the glove from her hand before she brought it up and gently stroked the thief cheek before continuing. "I could also say the say about you too Rikku." She reached down and kissed the girl once more before saying "Come on, let's get inside before we both catch colds."
"You worry too much Paine." The blonde said before pulling the warrior into heated and passionate kiss.
However, when they both pulled away the two decided it was probably best to get inside, so they retrieved their weapons that had lain forgotten on the floor before walking hand in hand towards the Celsius.
Standing on the deck of the large airship stood a young gunner wearing knee high boots, short shorts with a half skirt covering her left leg and a white shirt that hugged her figure and left her shoulders completely bare front and back while it also had a light pink hood that lay under her hair. Her hair was a fairly normal shade of brown while it was short and choppy on the top, but underneath it lead into a long plat that was encased in a pink ribbon as it flowed behind her being lifted in the slight breeze. While her two different coloured eyes, the left being blue and the right being green, watched the scene play out below her, the only indication of emotion at what she had just seen being the small smile that graced her lips at seeing her two best friends being happy.
Chuckling softly to herself she turned away from the scene and walked towards the door that stood at the other end of the deck, her thoughts were occupied with the images she had just witnessed. But her focus was more on the smiles she had seen on the girls' faces as they embraced, it reminded her of how she used to embrace her swordsman and how happy it had made her. With a sigh she entered the lift and pushed the button that would take her too the bridge, as she had a feeling that she didn't want to go to the cabin or sleeping quarters for a little while at least.
Okay so I hope you enjoyed that, I know it's really random. I was thinking about turning it into a series so if any of you want me to continue it please just say so. Any reviews will be welcomed. Thanks for reading it.
