Yuna looked down, "I'll leave you two alone," she said and hurried from the room. I looked at him, he looked in complete shock. I hesitated before I made any attempt to talk to him, I knew he wasn't angry and I was thankful.
"A-Auron?"
"Mm?"
"A-Are you angry?"
"No." I mentally sighed in relief, I had been right.
"What's wrong then big guy?" He looked at me in irritation, I knew that look well.
"Why am I here? How am I alive?"
"I'I'm sorry?" He looked at me questiongly. "I wished you were alive?"
"What?" His look made me uncomfortable, but it was now or never.
"I-I love-" before I could finish my sentance, time froze except for me. I looked around and Bahamut was here.
"You must not tell him."
"Why not?"
"It's dangerous."
"I don't get it."
"You will soon enough," he said before he vanished and time began again.
"You love what?"
"I love you!" As soon as the words came out of my mouth, a strong wind began blowing angrily around us. It roared in my ears as it made my hair and clothes whip around me. AUron looked around just as confused as I felt.
"What's going on," he asked me as if I had a clue.
"What? I can't hear you! Auron?" I yelled before I began panicking as the world around me began fading. Blackness took over before I felt my body hit something hard. I was dazed and confused as I heard a voice, one I didn't recognize.
"She's alright! She's awake!" I opened my eyes slowly and I saw a group of boys gawking at me in confusion and wonder.
"Should we leave her here?"
"At least make sure she's ok first," a voice said and I knew who it was.
"You ok," the boy closest to me asked and I looked at him. He had small watery blue eyes and pale blond hair.
"I-I think."
"How did you get here?"
"I don't remember."
"She probably hit her head," one of the other boys said and kneeled by my side.
"Where do you live?"
"Stop asking her so many questions for Yevon's sake! You're going to overload her."
"I don't have a home," I said looking up at the only person I knew. He was young, posibly around sixteen. Dark intelligent eyes covered by long lashes. His raven hair tied back into a pony tail. A wide mouth with full lips, his eyebrows slender and his tanned skin free from any marks or the scar he would bear in years to come.
While I was taking in his features I realized they were talking about me.
"Why don't we bring her back to he temple?"
"It's a boys temple Kinoc...at least the right wing."
"Where else is she going to stay?"
"I don't know."
"Then it's as good an idea as any."
"We could get in serious trouble if we're caught."
"Come on Auron! What's the likely hood she'll get caught?" He paused and bit his lip and I could tell his mind was at work.
"Oh alright," he said finally but I could tell he wasn't happy about it.
"Can you walk," one of the boys asked me. I nodded and he helped me to my feet and hesitantly I followed them back to the temple. The entrance was huge and grand. Monks and priests and nuns were everywhere, men in uniform stood at attenton in all the doorways, looking important as they looked like statues. I ducked my head as we entered the door way and they turned right and went down the right halway. There were several branches off of this hallway and I could hear the faint hymm coming from somewhere inside the temple. As we continued down the hallway, the scenerey became less grand and more bland and I could only assume were getting closer to where the warrior monks were housed and trained. We managed to slip by and enter one of the housing hallways and we stopped in front of a door marked 203. All of them looked down both sides of the hallway before Auron opened the door and we filed inside. He closed the door after everyone and then they all pretended I wasn't there as they went about their routine. Taking unnecessary clothing off so they weren't hot and more comfortable, attending to anything extra they needed to do, and then finally went to lounging about on their bed before most of them turned to me and Auron ignored me an pulled out a book and began reading and probably doing homework.
"So what's your name anyway," Kinoc asked me, his blue eyes focused on me and making me uncomfortable.
"Rikku."
"Isn't that an Al Bhed name," one of the other boys exclaimed and I nodded.
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with Al Bhed," I said defensively.
"Hey woah, sorry, ok," the boy said backing off, "Anyway, my name is Kal," he said. He had brown hair and bright green eyes. He was ok looking, tall and a good build.
"Im his twin brother, Dan," one of the other boys said. He was the exact image of his brother, hence the twin factor.
"My name is Liham," the last boy said. He had pure white hair and electric blue eyes. He was smaller than the other boys and was all lean muscle.
"Nice to meet you all," I said and looked up at Auron.
"That's Auron, if you didn't get that," Kinoc said kicking the top of his bunk.
"Don't kick my bed Kinoc," Auron said not breaking his concentration on the book.
"Where are you from," Dan asked.
"Um..."
"You don't have to answer," Kal said and I just nodded, "We're from Kilika Island."
"I'm from Luca," Kinoc said.
"This is my home town," Liham said proudly.
"What about you Auron," I asked looking up at him and he finally put his book down and looked at him. He was about to say something when the lights went out and they all looked up. "What happened," I asked.
"The lights automatically go out when its close to bed time," Kal said.
"What time is it?"
"Somewhere close to nine," Kinoc replied. I heard the rustling of covers as they all settled down to sleep and I sat awkwardly in the middle of the room without a bed, covers, or pillow. Before I could even ask, Auron threw an extra pillow down and Kinoc gave an extra blanket to me so I could fashion a makeshift sleeping bag on the floor.
"Thank you," I said gratefully and all I got was a grunt from both of them. I laid down and closed my eyes, enjoying the silence before a cocophaony of male snoring filled the room. I sighed and shook my head as I closed my eyes and willed myself to sleep.
