A/N: Ok this is a start on my full fledged story, some of you might like it some of you wont, but im just here to say that I tried my best, if u guys don't like it, well screw u guys. If u guys don't like swearing, then I suggest not reading this story, as it has quite a few swearing words.

I warned you guys, don't give me a review that says, "OMG YOU SAID FUCK…OMG YOU WILL DIE BY GOD'S HANDS!"

I don't want that ok…I warned you guys. So… um, enjoy.

Oh yeah one more thing, this story switches back and forth between present tense and past tense

anything written in italics is in past tense, except for when there are quotes around it.

"blah blah blah" - present tense or past, its just someone talking that no one knows who the shit is talking

blah blah blah - past tense

blah blah blah - present tense
sorry for confusing you guys and please…enjoy my story!

Static Tragedy
By: i0pk



As Shuyin released himself from Baralai I quickly ran to his lifeless body. And silently cried in his chest, I felt a necklace underneath his robe. I was enraged as I ripped it off of his neck. Shuyin was the cause of this… he shall die by my blade, he shall die a million deaths. I drew my sword and ran besides my fellow friends and entered my fighting stance.

He has absolutely no chance…

Shuyin's blood… all over my sword, I couldn't help but laugh at Shuyins pathetic ness, he had fallen to a female, someone less superior than himself. I'm glad to see him crawl to Lenne and cry…that stupid bastard deserved a beating from me. What a child. I'm glad he never had a good moment with Lenne during that reunion, I hope he would hurry up and disappear. After we finished hearing the speech from Luca, I couldn't help but realize how much I missed Baralai, Shuyin took him away from me, so many memories… so many pain I had to go through to finally find love.

Seeing Yuna find her love was too much for me to bear, I had faked a smile just to convince everyone that I was happy for them. But deep inside, looking at them made me sick. Screw love, who needs that shit anyways? If Yuna couldn't stick up for herself, and she relied on a man for that is simple sad. My pity goes to you Yuna, I thought you were more independent, but seeing you giggle yourself senselessly was embarrassing.

It made me twitch in horror, knowing that *my* friend whom I loved and trust had a man to count on. Why don't I just take Tidus with me and show him how a real women treats a man? I'm sure Tidus wouldn't mind, given the fact he's with some stupid bitch. I sigh and head back in the Celcius, and I go in the cabin to take a nap, not thinking about what had happen to my friend. Even though I hated Yuna for this, I couldn't help but envy her. No, I don't hate Yuna, its my own fault for falling in love with him. And now he's dead. It's not Yuna I am mad at, it's my own stupidity. I closed my eyes and began to recall memories of my past.

I have never been the pretty, spunky, popular type in my life. No one understood me. I basically had to beat up on people who I thought I trusted, who ended up talking shit about me. Soon I couldn't take it anymore and I decided to forget all about my early past. My life was a fucking living hell. I had no job, no money…and worst, no one to come home to. During the time of the sin period, I had decided to become a recorder for this team called…the crimson squad, what a stupid name.

They were a bunch of idiots, and what kind of nickname is death seeker? What a corny name, he must be one dull son of a bitch. A dude named Nooj, and some freak of nature named Gippal, and some wussy named Baralai. Oh my, I was their recorder, psh, big deal…buncha idiots.

I've spent most of my life with these people, what a bad time of my life it was. It wasn't as bad as I thought, I actually got paid pretty good. After recording their training this one day, I walked around Luca to go find myself an apartment to stay in.

"Boo! Boo! Get out of there!"

I turned my attention to the blitz ball game in the middle of the city. I saw some kid a bit older than I am getting booed out of the game. Heh, that kid got some balls to swim away without crying, I stayed and waited for something funny to happen, only to see a fat dumb dude with orange hair enter the pool, sphere pool…whatever the fuck its called these days. All I remember from this event is bumping in those kilika wha? Beasts?


Anyways I continued on my search for an apartment, only to be stopped by a few blitz ball players.

"Kilika Wha?" I raised an eyebrow as one of their teammates began to flex his muscles.

"Hey there baby, what's your name?" He combed his hair back with his fingers which made me laugh out loud.

"Are you on crack? For yevons sake, go fucking kill yourself you good for nothing piece of shit." I grabbed him and shoved him into his teammates and continued on.


"I'm sorry, we don't have any available apartments for rent at this time."

Damnit… I was about to turn and leave this damn place but something caught my eye, and something made me stop right there. Something I regret doing, something I will regret for the rest of my life.

"Paine, Baralai, Gippal and I have an apartment in Mushroom Rock Road. Since you are our recorder, we decided to let you stay with us, if you do not mind."

"Nooj, I'm not going to stay with you losers, and plus, why would I trust living with you? Would you try and rape me?"

"Ha ha, of course not Paine, we only offer our home to you, not our children… That's when we get some time alone when that rule changes"

Was he hitting on me? I don't remember, but I remember slapping his face right then and there. I swore, that man has a metal head. After I slapped him, my hand was bumping red from the pain of impact.

"Tsk, tsk tsk, my, my Paine, must you be so short tempered? I was only joking around. Now come on, Baralai, and Gippal are fixing up the apartment, and we need your taste in designing."

I couldn't help but smile at him, I quickly hid it by covering my mouth with my hands, attempting to show that I was yawning. We walked for miles and miles, but I only felt that I had walked for a brief amount of time, Time seemed to pass by quickly when I was with him.

Did I really care about Noo-

"WAKE UP PAINE!"

"Huh, oh, hey Rikku" I groaned as I realized what time it was, "Oh god Rikku, 11 AM? Give me more time to sleep, I spent a lot of time thinking last night."

"I don't care! Come on! Yuna decided to take a day off, she's still at Besaid with her loverboy Tidus, and we have the ship to ourselves! Let's go to the Youth League headquarters! I wanna visit Gip- I mean, I just feel like taking a walk around there, hehe."

"Whatever you say Rikku, I can't believe that you actually like Gippal, he's such a dork sometimes." I said with a small smirk.

"HMPH, well, at least I don't like some, half robot, half man guy! I know you LOOVE NOOJIE WOOJIE!"

I stood up and headed for the bathroom, "That leaves you with 10 respect points Rikku, and I mean it."

"AWWW PAINE…! IM JUST KIDDING! What I meant to say was that, um, you're such a wonderful fighter!"

I can hear Rikku jumping up and down on the floor, I couldn't help but chuckle at her actions, she was such a child at times. I stared at my reflection and threw water all over my face.


"Your promises…"

"What the?! Shoopuf?!"

I stepped back from the mirror to see a reflection of Baralai's head talking to me! Am I going mad?! I began to tremble with fear, not knowing what to do. I ran out the bathroom door. Slamming the door hard enough to shatter the mirror into a million pieces.

"I won't forgive you…"
