-Flash back-

"Wait up for me Gippal" A small voice came as a little girl ran threw the sand her little white dress shifting as she ran. Her blond hair was pulled in pig tails shading her few freckles. Gippal turned around his green eyes narrowed as she ran towards him and he turned and continued to walk away. "Hey Rikku, come here" four boys called as she ran past them, she stopped panting and looked at them and smiled her eyes closed and her head tilted so innocently. " Why you running off to that looser he is nothing but a Orphan!" the older of the four said. "Looser? Orphan?" she asked opening her big emerald green eyes. "He has no parents he is a freak!" The other boy said who was standing next the one who talked previously. "Why don't you hang out with us?" the two twins chimed in unison and they surrounded her. "How old are you know Rikku?" the older one said his browns eyes narrowed as he touched her chin with his finger. " 10, Rycca why are you looking at me like that?" she asked stepping back into the twins who pushed her forward roughly only to be pushed back and hit the sand. "Owwwie.." she said rubbing her head and looked up as her face was shaded. They grabbed her arms and she pulled away "Stop it" she said and threw sand in their eyes and pushed threw them and started to run her eyes welled slightly at the cut on her elbow. She looked behind her and hit something hard and bounced back to the ground. She rubbed her head and looked up at Gippal who grinned and bent down at her " They bugging you?" he asked pushing her bangs from her face. She sniffled and nodded her head hugging her knees. He stood up and looked at the boys who were running and stopped seeing him standing up his eyes narrowed. " Rycca, picking on innocent Girls for what?"

" Its none of your concern Gipall go run home to your mommy... Oh wait you don't have a mommy" Rycca sneered and his boys high fived each other. "ha ha I will kick your ass for ever relative that you have, how many is that ?" he asked crossing his arms and started to walk towards them. They backed up " I think our moms calling us Rycca got to scram" The twins said and took off "Where are you going?" Rycca yelled and turned his attention to Gippal who reared back to punch Rycca who closed his eyes and braced for impact. He flew backwards and hit the sand and he heard Rikku's whimper. "Get the hell out of here you little bastard" He yelled at them who grabbed sand trying to get away from him "Just cause your stronger now, doesn't mean you will always will always be" he yelled holding his noes and ran away. Gippal turned away and looked at Rikku who watched at him slightly terrified and he bent down and looked at her "Hey there you go he should leave you alone for a while" he said going to touch her face but she shy ed away. He sighed and sat next to her in the sand. "lets make a pack, just you and me," he said she looked at him lowering her guard. " I will never hurt you in any shape or form, and if return you have to do the same, and for that I will protect you, if you help me forget about my parents." she touched his hand and smiled "I will take that deal" she said looking back at her elbow. He smiled and walked her to the nurses to get a band aid and left her there.

-End-

" you never protected me all the time" Rikku said as they sat on the sand doons watching the sun disappear. " Yes I did all the time from Rycca" "HEY I saved your ass when the temples were over flowing with fiends" he looked at her and then continued with what he was saying"now look at you, you saved Spira more than once, good friends who are getting married soon, and you have..." "A boyfriend come on Rikku we're late" Rikku looked down and Gippal looked at her then looked at the man who was talking "That's right a boyfriend I was getting there" Gippal said and stood up she got up as well and looked at him then Rycca who stood angerly waiting for her. "I am sorry Gippal maybe another time for catching up" she said and hugged him " don't let him..." "Rikku come on" Rycca said and she smiled at his confused face and walked after Rycca who grabbed her wrist and dragged her away fastly. Gippal who looked at them and raised a brow and sighed and dusted himself off started down the hill. He walked into his tent and laid on his bed and looked at a com-spear and raised a brow he hadn't watched that thing in ages. He picked it u and twisted the top so it would play.

-Com-spear-

Rikku shifted looking around from where she was and then looked back at the screen. "Hey Gippal I finally have a free moment to talk to you. Hey I know its been a while I was just updating you cause well I have been thinking you know? what have you been doing with out me there to be my protector" she said smiling her emerald green eyes narrowed as a smile slide to her face. " The fiends are getting tough I actually got out of the medics a few ours ago" she said lifting her arm to prove and and laughed " But don't worry its not broken, just fractured, I hope things are going good in Moon flow I don't know what the hell your doing there but I am sure you are doing good." she looked to the side and then back "Yunie and Paine will be here soon, so I will talk to you when I can OK?" she asked touching the recorder. "I going to admit this now tell someone and I will deny it, but I miss having someone there to protect me" she said waved and the recording stopped.

-End-

Gippal set the com-spear of the table and sighed and stood up and striped down to his boxers and laid on the bed once more and looked up at the slow twisting fan that rotated above and then closed his eyes and started to sleep.

Rikku was pushed into her tent roughly and stumbled against the dresser knocking a picture over. "Why were you talking to him?" Rycca yelled she stepped back she didn't want to hurt Rycca if things god bad, she promised her dad she wouldn't use her dress spears except to fight fiends. " Cause he is my best friend" she snapped looking at his angry red face. " I don't want you talking to him" he said she looked at him. " I will look at and talk to who ever I want Rycca you can't stop me from being a person." she said with out warning he slapped her face. She touched her lips as blood ran from the split. "Don't talk to me like that you little whore" He yelled. She hit him back and went to run out of the tent only to grabbed back in. She hadn't realized how weak she had gotten from not being with the gull wings, as he grabbed her hair and pulled her close to him. "Where you going Rikku?" He said his eyes seemed so distant she didn't even know who he was. He tossed her roughly on the bed hit her again she grunted and things went black for a while.

When Rikku came to she was laying on the bed her clothing was all still intact but her pride wasn't she winced as her head throbbed and her lip burned. She saw the sun creeping from under the tent and she sighed and got up and looked in the mirror and sighed again as she touched the black eye that was forming. "Rikku?" a voice came she jumped slightly and she turned to see Rycca there his eyes lowered. " What do you want" She fist ed her fingers. " I know last night I did things that were unexceptable... and I wanted you to know that I love you, and I was sorry I never meant to hurt you I was drinking last night and things just got out of hand" she lowered her guard slightly and looked at him he looked so sorry. " I forgive you Rycca, but you have to promise me you wont drink any more," she said grabbing her gloves from the dressed and he pulled her into a kiss and hugged her which was not returned. " I need to get to work"she said he let go and nodded and she left, her bangs covered the bruising eye slightly.

" Ready on deck" Rikku yelled to the men who gave her the thumbs up and her strong hands pulled the lever and lowered the drill for the men. "Morning Sunshine how was that dinner last night?" Gippal asked as he walked into the control room. "We didn't go," she said stilling looking forward at the computer. "Rycca said you hit you head in the moon Field you OK?" he asked setting down the digging maps down "He said I hit my head?" she asked looking at him . He gasped in sympathy. "Wow what a shiner, yeah he said the Machina dropped lower than you thought and you hit your head. what were you doing out there?" He asked pushing her bangs from her face to get a better look at it. " What a klutz I am" she said pulling away. She ducked under his arm " I am going to the drill for a few minutes make sure its running Smoothly" she said and walked done the stares. He looked at the computer and then the window and watched her.

The Sun blared down on them as she watched the men who were playing blitz ball, Gippal walked up next to her and punched her shoulder lightly "Hey kiddo" Rikku looked at him and smiled his heart tattooed slightly. "Hey old fart" she said smiling and looked ahead again. "See something you like?" He asked her. A Sigh escaped her lips and she shook her head. "Not really why do you ask do me and Rycca seem on the rocks or something?" She asked. "Not at all, I was just wondering cause you were starring so openly. " I wasn't looking at them I was looking at the Machinica." she said. "Well l am going down there to play care to join us?" she shook her head " I will watch. "Sure Rycca wont get mad?" He asked looking at her again. "yeah I am sure" she said they walked down the hill. "Gippal catch" one of the guys said tossing the ball he did and threw it back and Rikku stopped and sat in the sand. The sun was getting hotter as it passed over head. Soon all of them were shirtless and running playing. Her eyes found Gippal who hunched over his hand resting on his knees as he tried to catch his breath and laughed at the guys said something funny. Her eyes traveled over his toned pecks to his rippling abs sweat smoothly ran down gliding gently over the tanned surface.. Her eyes traveled lower and she looked away fast her face flushed. 'did I ... god did it again' she thought and clamped her eyes shut. "Rikku catch" She opened her eyes and caught the hard ball and patted it in her lap. "Now what?" She asked the men looked at each other and then the ball.

Rikku laughed as the sun started to go down, almost all of the guys had left home to their wife's or girlfriends. Gippal tackled her to the sand and came face to face with her, his arms were supporting him as he hovered over her face slowly getting closer. She blushed and put the ball between them. "Here is your ball" she said her voice was hushed slightly. "Rikku!" They both looked to the side and saw Rycca with Nina who narrowed her eyes at Gippal.. "We were playing Blitzball" Gippal tried to explain getting up with the ball. "Right Romeo lets go" Nina said angerly. "Yeah coming" He said Rikku lowered her eyes and rubbed her arm as he pick up his shirt and started to walk away, Rycca waited till they were out of site then looked at Rikku...
