My own Sin
By Akuma-Miki
Rikku sat across from her cousin and her other five guardians. She looked like the least like anyone else. Wakka and Lulu had been with Yuna their entire lives and they were like siblings, Tidus was a great blitzer and was her loyal guardian, Auron was a hero who helped defeat the last Sin, then there was Kimari, he was a runt of the Ronso but still made other humans look tiny and pitiful, lastly their was her, with her blonde hair and bright green eyes with slight swirls in them. She wore an outfit made for stealth that most all Al Bhed wore. She had goggles dangling from her neck and she had feather ear rings and feathers tied in her two pig tails. She was the youngest and the smallest. She didn't look like she was built for fighting. She looked more along the lines off being you used to run extreme machine weapons. She was a great swimmer and was able to salvage almost any machine but no one could believe that the daughter of the last High Summoner had chosen an Al Bhed for a guardian. They had all just been scolded at yet another temple because of her. She felt the tears stinging in her eyes but she had to hold them back. She knew that was exactly what those Yevon creeps were aiming for.
"And you the daughter of Lord Braska have this Al Bhed heathen with you as a guardian. I'm sure that your father would be ashamed."
Yuna then looked up and raised her voice slightly. It didn't make that much of a difference because her voice is normally low anyway.
"That's not true. My father married an Al Bhed woman and you all stopped saying harsh things after she had died and he had defeated Sin. Stop talking about Rikku this way."
The priest sat not able to say anything else and soon just got up and walked away leaving them to enter the Cloister of Trials. When they got in Auron, Wakka, Yuna, Lulu, and Kimari were ahead of Tidus and Rikku, who almost always stayed a few steps away.
"Rikku?"
Rikku looked up at Tidus, who looked back with worried and pain stricken eyes. She forced a smile holding back the tears. He grabbed onto her hand watching her every move. He spoke softly.
"Rikku you look like you're about to cry. Did what that guy said really hurt you that much?"
Rikku bit her bottom lip lightly. Her green eyes became glassy from the collection of tears gathering in her eyes.
