Take Me Away-Chapter 1: Myself Unforgiven
No sound.
No feeling.
No Warmth.
No Cold.
Nothing...but pain.
Tidus woke with a start, sweat beading down his face, his neck and into his night shirt. He rubbed a hand over his face, it had been two months without her, it was hell.
silent tears mixed with the sweat on his face, night after night as soon as his closed his eyes, her sacerfice replayed like a movie with an ending he wanted to change, but he knew he couldn't.
He fell back onto his pillow.
"I miss you", he whispered, and with her name on his lips he drifted to a fitful sleep.
___________________
Saja ran up to Tidus' room, she was so angry at him, how could he sleep in today? The day Rikku got recognition for her sacerfice to save Spira.
She rapped loudly on his door,"Tidus you lazy bastard I want you awake and ready in three minutes", She said in anxiety, Paine was going to be here any second now and she would be furious with the both of them if they weren't ready.
Ever since the incident two months ago Squad Sparrow disbanded and they all went their own ways. Saja and Tidus found a house in Bevell, they became close over Rikku's death, but not as lovers, as friends. They were always together, but he became to much like her brother to even be considered a boyfriend. Paine continued to sail about, but only as a pirate, she loved the hunt for treasure, but she didn't feel like sharing it with the Albhed base anymore and with Squad Sparrow disbanded why should she?
Giha returned to the Albhed base and then went on to construction of weapon machina.
Saja heard rustling from behind the door,"WHAT! 9:30!!!", then she heard a closet being thrown open, more rustling and then the door being thrown open.
"We're s'pose to be at the stadium in ten minutes!", Tidus said, out of breath from his haste.
"Duh, that's what I've been saying! Oh, by the way, your shirts on back wards",Saja said with a smile,poking the tag sticking from under his chin.
He looked down and smiled."Oh,heh..."
There was a knock on the door,"That's Paine!",Saja said and raced down to answer it.
By the time she made it down the stairs Paine had already let herself in.
"Ready to go?",Paine asked.
"Yup!",Saja answered, sweeping her long black hair up into a pony-tail quickly just as Tidus was stumbling down the stairs as he slipped on his shoe.
"Let's go!",He called and walked out the door.
___________________
They hopped off of their machina bikes. Saja quickly took off her helmet and followed Tidus and Paine into the Stadium.
Her eyes widened, so many people were here already.
Most of them were Albhed, she spotted many familiar faces and many she had never seen before. Tidus was due to speak at the ceremony and a statue of Rikku, constructed by the Albhed, was to be revealed right next to Yuna and the other summoners for saving Spira.
'Speak of the devil', Saja thought as they approached the main stairway.
Yuna was standing there, chatting away to a reporter.
Paine's eye's narrowed and Tidus' fists clenched.Tidus took a deep breath and walked up the stairs to where they would be seated, on the main stage behind the podium.
Paine was about to walk by when a couple of Yuna's words caught her ears.
"Well, Rikku did always look up to me, even as we were younger...I suppose you can say she saved the world to follow in my footsteps, poor dear, if only she had learned a couple more lessons she could have become more experience and avoided dieing and all...",She said in false sorrow to the reporter.He thanked her and walked away to interview more.
Yuna smiled and clasped her hands together, putting on her public 'innocent' face.
Paine walked up to Yuna swiftly,
"How dare you!", She said through clenched teeth.
She balled up her fist and landed a punch right to Yuna's nose.
With a high pitched squeak Yuna clasped her hands over her nose, her eyes watering.
Saja smiled, and grabbed Yuna by the arm,"Come on Paine, I got her, land another one!",But Paine was satisfied and followed the stairs up to sit with Tidus.
Saja sighed and let go of Yuna's arm as she quickly fled to the restroom to check the damage and Saja followed Paine.
"That rocked!",Saja whispered to Paine.
Paine did not respond.

The stadium was soon filled once it was time to begin.
Yuna, as High Summoner, was first to approach the stand and address the people. Saja couldn't help but snicker at the tiny bits of toilet paper stuffed up Yuna's nose to stop the bleeding, and nice purple bruise that was beginning to develop on the bridge of her nose.
"People of Spira",She began,"We are gathered here today to celebrate and honor the great deed and sacerfice that someone lied down to keep Spira and it's people safe."
"A close friend of one Rikku, the first Albhed Guardian of a Summoner, will give his thanks as the statue is reveled."
Yuna bowed as the crowd broke into a roar of clapping and sat down, giving a somewhat nervous glance at Paine, who ignored her.
Tidus stepped up,
He cleared his throat and he looked nervous, but Saja knew he needed to do this, he needed to speak his peace.
"Rikku, she was my best friend, from the day I met her on the pilgrimage back when Sin plagued Spira. She was always so happy and she listened to you, and even if she couldn't give you advice on your problem, she would always support your decisions. After Sins defeat she stopped talking to people, and cut herself off from her friends, and from me.I really hadn't noticed right away, I was blind, but eventually I began to notice Rikku was not the same. She was depressed and would only go outside on rainy nights...it hasn't rained a night since her death,"He added," Still, after all the quarrel within her, she still found enough peace to save Spira." He paused and smiled,"I loved Rikku, and I still do, with all my heart and soul, it kills me everyday that she's not here...but she chose to lay down her life, she chose to give back to Spira, even after she felt Spira deserted her! She is a true hero, a rare diamond in the rough, lost but never will she be forgotten,Thank you." With that final statement he stood down from the podium and the stadium filled with cheers, clapping, whistling,shouts.
Yuna gave a weak clap and approached the podium,"And now, we will reveal," She held up her hand and turned to her left, a huge green silk curtain covered the statue,"...Rikku", The curtain was dropped and the statue was reveled.
Saja smiled. It was in exact likeness.Her long hair, her battle stance, slouched over, claws drawn, smirk over her face.
"Its perfect",Saja whispered.

After the ceremony Paine went back to her ship and Saja and Tidus returned home.
As soon as he walked into the door he went straight up to his room.
Saja put her stuff down and watched him go up with a sigh, she knew he was in pain, she could feel it from him...she would go up to comfort him in a little while, he needed to get it all out first.
___________________
She was numb.
Her mind was blank.
Solitude gripped her, suffocated her.
Her body burned, ached, blistered, but not a physical mark to be seen.
Her hair whipped her face like a thousand hornets stings.
Her wrists kept bleeding, no healing, it wouldn't stop, the liquid burned worse than the air around her.
This was hell.
