You wanted a sequel you got it! And don't worry there will be more than one chapter! Oh, and by the way, these characters don't belong to me only the story.

Our Little Secret

Tidus's eyes slowly opened as he felt something on his chest. He fully opened his eyes, smiling, as his vision steadied upon the angel beside him. Tidus lifted his head and looked out the window, seeing the sun rising. He let his head drop and wrapped his free arm around his love, feeling a stir, he locked eyes with hers. Remembering what they had done the night before brought a smile to his face, though there was still the issue of Yuna. They would have to tell her sooner or later.

"Morning." Tidus said softly.

Rikku looked around then looked at Tidus, breaking down into tears.

"What's wrong?" Tidus asked, hoping she wasn't regretting the night before.

Rikku shook her head smiling.

"Nothing." Rikku said, slightly laughing.

"I was afraid that I had dreamed last night up. This moment is proof I didn't" She explained.

Tidus smiled back.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"A little sore, but you're making the pain go away." Rikku said, holding Tidus tightly. Tidus smiled, kissing her head.

"Would you like to watch the sun rise with me?" Tidus asked.

Rikku nodded into his chest smiling. They both got up, Rikku putting on her robe, and Tidus putting on his robe.

"Ready?" Tidus asked, smiling.

Rikku smiled back and nodded. Tidus wrapped his left arm around her waist, taking her left hand in right hand and entwined their fingers. They went outside and stood as the sun came up.

"It's so beautiful!" Rikku said with a smile.

"It really is." Tidus said, leaning down and kissing her forehead.

"I wish we could stay like this forever." She said.

"So do I." He agrees.

Tidus let go of her waist and hand, turning to her. His eyes softened as he looked into hers. He leaned down and softly kissed her on the lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Rikku slowly closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. The two soon parted softly smiling at each other.

"We should get some more rest before we have to leave." Tidus said, taking Rikku's hand.

The two went back to Tidus's room and took off their robes then laid down. Rikku cuddled up to Tidus placing her head on his chest.

"Tidus, I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

Rikku lifted her head up and looked at him.

"What was the happiest day of your life?"

"That's easy. It was the day I met you."

Rikku smiled and playing hit him.

"Seriously, what was it?"

"I am serious. I was defenseless, and about to become fiend chow, and you saved me. What was yours?"

"It was the day I found you again. I had been so worried that something bad had happened to you, but when I washed up on land and saw your dumb face expression as I took off the extra clothing, I felt like singing."

"I didn't look dumb."

"Oh, yes you did! You paid close attention as I unzipped."

"Are you suggesting I was being perverted?" Tidus said cracking a smile.

"I didn't say that you were."

"I'm sure I was."

The two laughed then closed their eyes going back to sleep

\\\\\

Tidus had just awoken and laid there, caressing Rikku's cheek. He was still shocked, but happy, about the night before. He had felt so alive, so happy and free that it made his heart ache. Rikku made him happy. Truly happy for the first time in a long time. In their moment he had forgotten about the pilgrimage because, in that moment all there was, all that truly mattered was Rikku. The feelings he had displayed to Yuna were not genuine. He didn't mean to miss lead her, but his feelings were meant for Rikku, but directed at her as they both got caught up in the moment and as he was in doubt of Rikku's feelings.

"Last night I got my answer, and what an answer it was." Tidus said grinning. Tidus then thought of something.

((In a way she initiated what happened. When we were in the shower, she started the kiss that lead me to- That fueled me.)) He thought.

Tidus knew everyone would be getting up in about an hour.

"Rikku."

"Rikku." Tidus said again slightly shaking her.

Rikku slowly opened her eyes.

"Yes?" Rikku said, yawning.

"We have to get up before someone comes to wake us."

"Ok, say no more. I'll get dressed in my room." Rikku got up and began to put back on her bra and panties, when she noticed Tidus staring at her out of the corner of her eye.

Rikku grinned and slowed down. Tidus watched her every move. When she was done, she turned around causing Tidus to slightly jump.

"I'll meet you down stairs." Rikku said putting on a robe.

She was about to turn the door knob, when she felt Tidus place his hand on hers stopping her from turning it. Rikku felt her heart quicken as he pressed his chest against her back. Tidus gently took her hand off of the door knob as he wrapped his free arm around her mid section slightly loosening the sash causing the robe to expose her shoulders. Tidus gently and seductively kissed her ear trailing his kisses down her neck to her shoulder making Rikku close her eyes and lean her head back onto his shoulder. Rikku turned around and leaned against the door looking into Tidus's ocean blue eyes. She placed her hands on Tidus's face as they continued to stare into one another's eyes.

"Why do you seem to want to keep me in here?" Rikku said softly.

"It's always hard to let your heart go."

Rikku's face expression was a surprised 'aww' slowly turning into a smile. Tidus had the sheets wrapped around his middle and Rikku could feel it as he leaned into her, placing her hands up at her sides and kissing her gently. He let his hands run down her arm to her hips. He pulled her away from the door, backing up into the middle of the room and held her in a tight hug. Rikku laid her head on his shoulder and Tidus leaned his head against hers. They both parted, their arms still around each other.

"Will you walk with me when we leave?" Tidus asked.

Rikku nodded. Tidus leaned down and gave her a kiss full of love. He pulled back and caressed her cheek.

"I love you." Tidus said, with emotion.

"I love you too." Rikku brought Tidus's head down and kissed him again. They both parted and just stood in each other's arm.

"Rikku."

"Yes?"

"I think you might want to wait awhile before we get sexually involved again."

"Why?" Rikku asked, slightly frowning.

"I know last night must have hurt you a lot more, senses we both didn't take it slow, and I want to make sure you're better."

Rikku smiled.

"I love the fact that you're so considerate." Rikku said, hugging Tidus.

"I think we should get dressed now before someone comes to wake us."

"Ok."

Rikku gave Tidus one last kiss, then went back to her room. She got dressed then sat down on her bed. A few minutes later she heard the others walking around, getting ready to leave. She got up and went downstairs. Everyone was downstairs except for Tidus. After a few minutes, Tidus came walking down the stairs making Rikku brighten up immediately. Everything seemed to be in slow motion as Rikku watched him walk toward her, stopping shoulder to shoulder as he faced the opposite way. Rikku couldn't help herself as she looked him and down, staring at his broad chest, muscular arms and spiky blonde hair. No one else noticed Rikku checking Tidus out, accept Lulu.

"Everyone ready?" Wakka asked.

Tidus turned his head to face Rikku.

"Are you ready?" Tidus asked.

Rikku nodded. Tidus smiled down at her. Lulu caught a hint of something in his eyes, but she couldn't tell what.

((What is with those two?)) Lulu thought. Lulu was a little suspicious, but decided not to think anything of it.

"We better get moving." Auron said.

As they continued to walk Lulu looked down at Rikku who was walking beside her. She didn't know what, but something seemed different about her, Tidus too. She decided to let it go for now and looked straight ahead.

"How long until we leave the calm lands?" Rikku asked Lulu.

"It depends how many stops we make until we get to mount Gagazet. Then to get to a populated place might take a while, so we will make a camp and wake up early morning to continue our walk. That's all I can tell you now." Lulu replied.

Rikku nodded and ran beside Tidus, who was walking by himself in front of everyone else.

"There you are, I was wondering if you forgot our deal." Tidus said, smiling.

"I was asking Lulu how long until we left the calm lands." Rikku smiled back.

"When you get tired, I'll let you ride on my back."

"I think I'll just jump on you while you're not expecting it and knock you to the ground."

"Oh, really?" Tidus said laughing. Rikku nodded smiling.

"You're too small to knock me down." Tidus said.

"Watch me!" Rikku said, putting up her arms as if she was going to flex.

"Get over here, short stuff." Tidus said, reaching over and pulling her closer to his side as he put his arm around her shoulders.

"Short stuff? I can have you down on your back in twelve seconds flat!" Rikku jokingly bragged.

"Oh, so you'll be on top?" Tidus said, raising an eyebrow.

Rikku nodded laughing.

"I wouldn't mind that." Tidus said, grinning.

Rikku playfully hit him.

"Is that all you think about?" Rikku asked, laughing.

"You're the one taking about having me on my back. I'm just the victim."

They both laughed.

"Tidus!"

Tidus turned around and saw Yuna jogging up next to him.

"Hey, Yuna."

"What are you two doing?" Yuna asked, smiling.

"Well, Rikku here thinks that she can knock me down, and now I'm holding her hostage." Tidus replied, with a smile. Yuna laughed.

"How did you two sleep last night?" Yuna asked.

Tidus coughed.

"I slept great." Rikku replied with a smile, patting Tidus's back.

"Me too." Tidus said, after he was done coughing.

"Mount Gagazet is going to be freezing. It might take a few days to get through it." Yuna said.

"Why's that?" Tidus asked.

"The cold weather will slow us down." Yuna answered.

An hour later everyone stopped to take a break.

"Why does this place have to be so big? My feet hurt." Rikku complained, plopping to the ground.

"Here, get on." Tidus said, bending down with his back to her. Rikku wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. Tidus stood up and held onto her legs.

"I thought you were going to knock me down?" Tidus said, smirking.

"I'll get you on your back another time." Rikku said, grinning.

Tidus put his mouth close to her ear.

"I'm looking forward to it." Tidus replied in a hushed voice.

Rikku playfully hit his chest and smiled.

They soon started walking again. Tidus and Yuna were talking and Rikku was soon asleep.

"Is she heavy?" Yuna asked.

"No, but I think I might change my mind once I've been carrying her for a few hours." Tidus said, laughing.

Yuna laughed. Rikku slightly moved and held onto Tidus slightly tighter.

"I wonder why she's so tired. She must have been up late. I think she was taking a shower, because I heard a shower running. I didn't hear it for long though, because I fell back asleep. " Yuna said.

"Yeah." Tidus said, in a distracted voice as images from the night before popped into his head. Tidus slowly and gently, but shortly, caressed Rikku's leg.

Rikku sighed happily in her sleep. Yuna chuckled.

"She must be having a good dream." Yuna said.

"Yeah." Tidus said, chuckling as well.

"I love you so much, Tidus." Rikku whispered in her sleep, snuggling his neck.

Tidus stopped walking and just stood there. He lovingly smirked, enjoying the fact that she was dreaming about him. He quickly started walking again catching up with Yuna.

\\\\\\\\\\

When they finally got to Mount Gagazet, and like Lulu had said, they made up a camp. After everyone put up their own tent, everyone gathered by the fire. Yuna and Lulu were sharing a blanket in the cold night, and Rikku was sitting by herself shivering. Tidus came out of his tent with a large blanket, saw Rikku shivering, and immediately sat down next to her and wrapped the blanket around her and him.

"Thanks." Rikku said, as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"No thanks needed." Tidus said, as he wrapped his arm around her waist. No one could see what he was doing inside the sheets so he didn't care.

Yuna was still cold, so she and Lulu went into their tent for more blankets and Auron and Wakka went to find some more twigs.

"Tidus?"

"Yes Rikku?"

"Do you think we'll ever be able to... You know... Ever again?" Rikku asked hoping he wouldn't say "no." Tidus grinned.

"Yes Rikku, I think we will." He asnwered.

Satisfied with the answer Rikku gave Tidus a kiss. They heard the return of everyone and quickly pulled apart hoping no one had seen them.

No one had and everyone was once again sitting by the fire.

"We shouldn't be staying up late. We need to get up early so we can make it on time." Auron said, standing up.

"You're right. Good night everyone." Yuna said walking back into her tend. After putting out the fire, everyone went into their tent and went to sleep except Rikku. She didn't want to be in her cold tent by herself, but with Tidus in his warm and loving arms.

((You can't go sneaking into his tent late at night.)) Rikku thought to herself.

As much as she hated it, she stayed put. She wished she could tell everyone about her and Tidus, and she knew they wouldn't mind, but there was Yuna. She wanted to tell her, but she knew it would crush her and last thing Yuna needed was to be even more depressed. For now, this was the best thing.

\\\\\\\\\\

Rikku woke up late in the night and decided to walk around for a while. When she opened her tent, she saw Tidus and Yuna talking outside of their tents. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but Tidus nodded then said something which led to Yuna hugging him. Tidus hugged her back and Yuna went inside his tent. Rikku froze.

"W-What..." Rikku said to herself. Her eyes began to tear up. Tidus was still outside and turned, spotting Rikku. Rikku wanted to go back inside, but she couldn't, she just stayed frozen. Tidus walked over to Rikku, stopping inches away from her.

"What are you doing up?" Tidus asked, smiling.

"I-I woke up." Was all Rikku could say as she stared straight ahead not looking at his face.

Tidus frowned. He looked closer and saw that she was crying.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Tidus asked, concerned.

"Why is Yuna in your tent?" Rikku asked, closing her eyes as the tears feel.

"She wanted to know if we could switch tents. The wind is coming from behind her tent and it was too cold for her." He answered.

Rikku broke down crying, collapsing to the ground. Tidus bent down, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Please tell me why you're crying." Tidus asked worriedly.

"I'm happy. I thought you were going to let Yuna sleep with you." Rikku said, calming down.

Tidus immediately pulled her to his chest.

"Why would I need anyone else when I have you?" Tidus said, soothingly.

"It just scared me."

Tidus pulled back and looked her in the eyes.

"You're the only one I'll ever share my bed with." He said, reassuringly.

Rikku smiled, hugging him. When they broke apart Tidus wiped away her tears.

"We should get some sleep." He sd.

Rikku nodded yawning.

"I'm ok now."

Tidus slowly leaned forward and kissed Rikku tenderly. They both slowly stood up, still keeping contact. Tidus wrapped his arms around her giving her a light squeeze then parted.

"I'll see you in the morning." Tidus said, backing away from her and turning to go to his new tent.

Rikku laid down sighing happily.

((He has no clue what he does to me.))

\\\\\\\\\\

The next morning, after everything was set, they continued walking. After Yuna gave her little speech and Kimari beat the Ronso, they were about to continue walking when one Ronso stopped them.

"Bad storm coming. Ronso town not far from here. You will go." He said. Tidus leaned into Rikku

"They really do talk like that." He joked.

Rikku giggled. The Ronso took them to a small town then soon left. They all got a room at an inn.

"I guess we'll be staying here until the storm calms down." Wakka said. Everyone went their own way and explored the town. Tidus and Rikku walked along the tiny town's street looking through shop windows. As Tidus and Rikku walked, Tidus noticed a jewelry shop and paused for a moment.

"Meet me back at the Inn there's a shop that I want to check out. It's getting cold and I don't want you to be freezing." Tidus said, turning to face Rikku.

"Ok. I'll see you in a little bit." Rikku said, walking back to the inn.

Tidus went into the shop and looked around. He knew he probably shouldn't spend his money, but Rikku was worth it. He looked around the shop and finally spotted something he liked. Tidus decided to buy it and went up to the counter.

"I'd like this ring please." Tidus said, pointing through the glass counter at the ring he wanted.

"All right." The woman said, placing the box in a bag.

"You're not a Ronso. What brought you here?" Tidus asked confused.

"I was raised by a Ronso family. My parents had died when I was little and they took me in and I never left." She explained.

"I'm Tidus by the way."

"I'm Lena, nice to meet you."

"Like wise."

"So who's the lucky lady?"

"Her name is Rikku, she's the best thing that's happened to me in a long time."

"That's so sweet! Well, congrates on your engagement."

"Engagement?" Tidus said, looking down at the ring confused. It was unique and elaborate in design and the sign that it was indeed a Ronso style engagement ring.

"Oh, thank you." Tidus said, deciding to just accept it. After he had gotten the ring, he walked outside and looked at this ring.

((I wonder why I got an engagement ring. It's obvious what king of ring this was.)) Tidus thought, continuing to ask himself question after question.

Tidus realized he had been out rather long and went back to the inn as the winds picked up. When he got inside, the manager told everyone to stay inside, because he was sure that it was going to get worse outside and they were going to get snowed in the little town. He was right. An hour later they were snowed in. Everyone got settled into their rooms and soon got ready to go to sleep.

\\\\\

"Rikku and Tidus seemed to have gotten closer." Lulu said, as she sat down on the couch that was in her's and Yuna's room.

"They've always been. She was the first person he met after being exposed to Sin's toxins." Yuna replied.

"I mean they've gotten sort of... flirty."

Yuna turned to face her.

"Flirty?"

"In the Calm Lands, they looked as if they were flirting with each other."

"They were just goofing around." Yuna said laughing.

Lulu was about to respond, but decided to drop it. They were just friends.
