We blasted the door of the Badaj temple's ruins. The first thing I saw was a boy fighting a fiend called Klikk. My men pulled out their machina and stood ready for anything. I walked over to the boy, popping my wrist and preparing for the fight.
"Your on my side cool,"the boy said. I shook my head, he should be focusing on the fight not me! I threw a grenade at Klikk then the boy attacked it with his sword. After awhile we had the fiend beat. The boy gazed at me. My heart skipped a beat, he was really cute with his blond hair, aqua blue eyes, and his build wasn't to bad either..in fact he was damn right sexy! I took off my googles and his jaw seemed to drop.
"Phew..that was close,"he said, bending over. I smirked, but then noticed my men going over to him. One of them grabbed him by the hair.
"Hey lemme go!"the boy exclaimed. Soon they all had surronded him and pointed there machina at him.
"What is this?"the one with the blue bandana asked. The boy was confused, proubly cause he doesn't know our language.
"A fiend! in disguise!"Keyakku replied.
"Oh my god they think he's a fiend!"I thought to myself. "What idiots!"
"Yes! it is so!"another one exclaimed, then looked at me. "We kill it?"
"Wait! What if its human?"I said.
"They are all the same in death."
"I forbid it! We bring it with us,"I ordered. I felt sorry for calling him an it, but there was no sence argueing with them. I walked over to the boy and whispered before hitting him in the stomach,"Sorry."
I was surprised he went down so fast..well I have to admit I hit pretty hard. I walked away then noticed Gippal outside the door we blasted open.
"Nice work back there princess,"he said, giving me a cocky smirk. I rolled my eyes and walked back onto the ship followed by Gippal and the others.
I was now back on the ship talking with my brother and some of the crew about the boy that was above us.
"C'mon you really believe he's a fiend!"I exclaimed, getting annoyed. They all nodded. I sighed, I wasn't getting anywhere with them. "Well what if it helps us find that airship,"I suggested. They whispered to each other then Brother nodded at me then we headed back up to the deck. When I came out Keyakku bowed and the boy with the aqua eyes stared up at me.
"Search him!"Brother ordered. I grabbed the boy by the arm and pulled him up. Brother started doing stuff with his hands and made it look like he was swimming.
"Right whatever,"the boy said.
"Do you not speak?"Brother asked. I sighed again..we went over this! Brother made more hand motions.
"I said i don't understand!"the boy exclaimed. He must be getting frustrated with them as the others were with him.
"Insolence!"Keyakku exclaimed, pointing a machina at the boy.
"Wait!"I exclaimed then turned to Tidus and spoke to him in English,"He said you can stay if you make yourself useful."
The boy looked shocked,"You..you understand me!"
Somebody hit him in the back of the head. "Alright I'll work,"he said. I smiled, relieved that we could comunicate. I then explained the sphere grid to him. I was amazed that I didn't have to explain it twice.
"We found some ancient ruins below us..its not active now, but there should be some power left. We're going to go down there and activate it and then we should be able to salvage the big prize,"I explained.
"Uh-huh,"the boy said, nodding.
"Ok!Lets get to work!"I said, becomeing excited.
"Roger!"he exclaimed, giving me a thumbs up before diving into the water. I waved my hand signaling everbody to go.
The mission was a sucess thanks to the boy named Tidus. I headed straight to my room on the ship to take a quick shower before dinner. "Tidus..what a nice name,"I thought, slipping out of my clouthes then into the shower. I squeezed some of my apple shampoo into my hand and spread it over my hair and scrubbed.I quickly rinsed it then applied conditioner. While letting it set I washed the rest of my body then rinsed my hair. I turned off the water after I was all finshed then breathed in the cool air. I shivered a lil before stepping outta the stall. I wrapped myself in a large towl then wrapped a smaller one up in my hair and opened my bathroom door to go back into my luxous room(what? my fathers the leader of the Al Bhed..I get spoiled just a lil bit..). I dug through my closet for something to wear underneath my other suit. I heard some body come in and I admetly threw one of my shoes at the person for comeing in without knocking.
"Sorry princess!"the person exclaimed, putting their hands over their head.
"GIPPAL!"I exclaimed, throwing another shoe at him.
"I come in peace!"he said, dodgeing my shoe.
"What are you doing in here!"I asked. I was quite embrassed, I mean come on I only had a towl on!
"Just comeing in to tell you dinners ready..,"he said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Well you could've knocked!"I exclaimed, feeling my face going red.
"Yeah..I guess that would've been better then getting hit by one of your shoes,"he said, walking out. I sighed, putting on a pair of green shorts and an organge shirt then adding some acessories to it like a belt and gloves. I slipped on my extra suit over my clouthes and then headed out to the mess hall. I decided I wasn't hungry then I thought Tidus would be hungry so I decided to get him some stuff instead sence I knew the others weren't going to feed him.
After grabbing some food for Tidus, I started heading out of the mess hall then Brother called after me.
"Rikku!"he exclaimed. "Where are you going?"
I pointed up then turned on my heels, heading up to the deck.
"Uhhh hungry..,"I heard him groan. I couldn't help, but laugh a lil. He started dosing and I kicked his arm, making him fall over. He looked up at me and I set the plate down in front of him. "Whoa! Right on!"he said, then started grogeing in down. He started chocking and I handed him a canteen. He took it hurridly and gulped it down.
"Its cause you eat to fast,"I said, kneeling down beside him then resting my cheek against my hand admiring him. He got up and stretched...he was irgnoring me -.-."Hmm he thinks I don't understand him..,"I thought, being postive.
"Hey!"I exclaimed, standing up to get his attention.
"Hello there, whats your name?"he asked, looking back at me with a smile.
"Rikku,"I replied, putting my hands on my hips.
"Whoaaa! You really do understand!"He said, excitedly taking my hands in his. He jumped up excitedly then let go of my hands and started laughing. I was shocked by that sudden reaction, but kept cool. He walked back over to me and asked,"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I didn't get a chance to everyone that oui were a fiend,"I replied, slidding my hand across my throght.
"Umm 'we'?"Tidus questioned.
"Oh oui means you,"I explained. I walked over to our boats railing and leaned on it.
"Uhhh so who are you guys anyway?"Tidus asked.
"We're Al Bhed, can't you tell? Wait your not an Al Bhed hater are you?"I asked, turning around.
"I don't even know what an Al Bhed is."
"Where you from?"
"Zanarkand. I'm a blitzball player..Star player of the Zanarkand Abes,"Tidus said, showing off a bit.
"Did you hit your head or something?"I asked, confused.
"Umm you guys hit me,"he said, walking towards me. I turned back around and leaned on the rail again.
"Oh right. Do you remember anything before that?"I asked. He then told me everything about Zanarkand and sins attack and how a guy named Auron and himself were engulfed in some light. I was quite shocked by everything he said.
"Did I say something funny?"Tidus asked, looking at me.
"You were near sin,"I said, thinking of Sins toxin. "Don't worry you'll be better in no time! They say when your head gets funny when Sin is near..maybe you had some kind of dream."
"You mean I'm sick?"he asked, giving me a confused look.
"Because of Sin's Toxin..yeah."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, there is no Zanarkand anymore..Sin destroyed it a thosand years ago. So nobody plays bliztball there."
He looked at me in disbelief as I walked away."W-What do you mean a thosand years ago, but I saw Sin attack Zanarkand! Your saying that happened a thosand years ago..No way!"he exclaimed. I bit my lip and waited for him to calm down. We walked back over to the railing and there was a long silence, I couldn't stand it so I finally spoke up after getting all my thoughts together.
"You said..You play blitzball?"I asked.
"Uh-huh."
"You know you should go to Luca. Someone might know who you are or you might find someone you reconize,"I said, hopeing he would remember Luca.
"Luca?"he asked, to my dissapointment. I moaned, hitting my head against the rail not to hard though. He sighed then I started pacing, thinking of what to do with him. Then I came up with a solition and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Ok leave it to me, I'll get you to Luca. Promise!"I said. He just stared at me blankly. "What? You rather stay here?"
He shook his head and I nodded. "Ok I'll go tell the others wait here." with that said I started walking away then I realized I hadn't told him something. "Oh! And one thing don't tell anybody your from Zanarkand,kay? Yevon says its a holy place, you might upset someone."
"Oh uh-huh,"he said. I nodded and went off to tell the others.
"We're heading off to Luca to drop off Tidus, okay?"I said, as I came into the room where everybody was.
"You named it?"Keyakku asked.
"No, thats what he said his name was!"I exclaimed. "And stop calling him an it!"
"Okay, Okay chill out,"Keyakku said.
"I'm sorry,"I said, blushing slightly. He just smiled and he smiled back. Something shook the boat. I lost my balance and started falling, I was lucky Gippal caught me. Some of us ran up to the deck to see what was going on.
"SIN!"somebody exclaimed.
"Sin is come!"
"Under us! Under us!"
I came out and saw Tidus swept away from the water that came onto the deck. I held onto the rail for dear life and watched Tidus being sucked in some kinda whirlpool. I got on the railing and was going to jump after him, Brother pulled me off the railing and held onto me.
"Let me go, Brother!"I exclaimed, trying to escape from my grasp.
"Let it go, Rikku, he's gone,"Keyakku said, softly. Brother let me go and I fell down to the ground. I just started bawling. I felt terrible and I blamed myself for what happened. I felt someone picking me up, so I opened my eyes and saw Keyakku. He then carried me down to my room. He set me on my bed and I looked up at him.
"Thanks Keyakku,"I said, tears still falling. He took off my mask((a/n tee-hee brain won't help me figure out a word for that thing on her head lol).
"You barely knew him..,"he said, sitting on my bed.
"I blame myself for what happened to him..,"I said, looking down.
"Don't,"he said. He cupped my face with one of his hands and caressed my cheek with his thumb. "Sorry for calling him an it."
I laughed, falling against him I couldn't help it, it was kinda funny. He put his arms around me. Keyakku has always been my closest friend I don't know what I'd do with out him...
