Chapter 2:
Rikku's Journal Entry:
…Aqua, Gippal, and Sephiroth let me stay at their place, Aqua let me borrow some clothes…I can't believe I just ran like that…but at least Gippal found me before…I can't even think about it…
Rikku's P.O.V.
"So, Rikku, where you from?" Aqua asked me.
"Besaid Island…but we were on a trip to somewhere near here…," I said.
"Cool, so do you want to go back?" Sephiroth asked.
"A little, but they don't trust me, and the fact that I ran away, is just going to tip them off, and Tidus probably already told them the truth," I said.
"Sweetie, you are welcome to stay here with us…and are you in school?" Aqua asked me.
"Ok, and…umm…no we've been traveling for a while…and…," I start but don't finish.
"And what?" Sephiroth asked.
"Nothing," I said.
"Ok, so you're not in school, I think if you stay with us you should enroll, you know at our high school, you'd be a senior," Aqua said.
"I guess so," I said.
"It would be cool, the only bad thing is you'd have to do school work, and homework, but that's easy," Aqua said. I thought about it for a moment.
"Ok," I said.
"Awesome," Aqua said.
"So, what are your friend's names?" Gippal asked.
"Paine and Yuna," I said, "why do you ask?"
"No reason," Sephiroth said, Sephiroth stiffened when I said Yuna.
"Ok, so I ran away, and they're most likely worried, I should call them," I said.
"Rikku, have you ever heard of running away for good?" Sephiroth asked.
"Yeah, why?" I asked, what's he saying?
"Well, it sounds like you could do that, I mean, they are obviously mad, so you should stay away from them, what kind of friends wouldn't believe you?" Sephiroth asked me.
"I guess so," I said, tentatively "I…don't know though."
"Why? You could stay with me, I mean us," Aqua said, she smiles an apology.
"I'd love to, but-" I start but Sephiroth interrupts me.
"Look you could go back and have them yell at you some more or you could stay here with us…which do you choose?" Sephiroth asked.
"I don't know, I mean Yuna didn't seem mad…," I said tentatively.
"Rikku…maybe she doesn't seem mad when really she is," Aqua said.
"When Yuna gets mad she shows it," I said, that's when I remember something important-and random-Cloud used to talk about his brother, his name was Sephiroth…Omg I am in the same room and talking to Sephiroth, Clouds brother.
"Hey, Sephiroth do you have a brother?" I asked all of a sudden.
"Yeah, why?" he asked.
"What's his name?" I asked.
"Cloud, why are you so interested anyway?" he asked.
"I knew it," I whisper, "I…well I know him…," I said.
"How?" he asked.
"Well he's just one of the many people that we met on our travels," I lied.
"Oh, ok," he said.
"So are you going to stay and come to school with us?" Aqua asked me.
"Ok, I guess," I said.
"Awesome we're gonna have so much fun," Aqua said.
"Cool…," I feel weird, runaway for good? They're gonna worry about me, but then again they did blow it out of proportion, but I don't know…
