Pairing: Rikku x Saïx

Warning: Within this story you will find complete and utter craziness, mild cursing, broken English due to Brother, and some character bashing.

Summary: Rikku and Brother take out Cid's ship without asking, but surprisingly everything is going fine—well that is until a stranger in black shows up.

Al Bhed cursing echoed through the air, causing the young Al Bhed girl to stir awake. She forced her spiral green eyes open, her head pounding like a sledge hummer was smacking her skull in. Her mind and memory was hazy, her eyes closed and shook her head gently — the thudding in her skull slowly began to light thumping ache. She ignored the ache in her head and forced herself to sit up.

Her spiral eyes shifted in utter panic, suddenly remember what had happened before the darkness took over. She remembered taking the ship without asking her father, how everything was going so well until that stranger. How that stranger wore black and spoke so oddly. She then remembered something about a crash, her brother's voice yelling for her as she hit her head. Her brother!

"Brother?!"

"Rikku," her brother's voice called out. The emotion of surprise laced his voice as his head poked over the driver's seat. His tanned face smeared with dust and dirt, a wrench clutched his hand — the same hand that flung over the seat, when he looked over it at his sister. "Ruf yna oui vanehk?" (How are you feeling?)

"Veha, zicd so rayt rindc." (Fine, just my head hurts.) She forced herself to stand slowly, trying to prevent herself from falling, as she mumbled a bit. She moved over to her brother as fast as she could, ignoring the pounding in her skull the best she could. As soon as she reached her older sibling, who just raised a brow at her, eying him up to make sure her sibling had no injuries. Worry hid itself in her spiral green eyes, her tanned hand resting on his shoulder for both balance and to show her concern.

"Rikku?"

"Fryd ypuid oui?" (What about you?)

"Ypuid drea crysa yc oui," (About the same as you) he shrugged.

She questioned, "Yht dra creb?" (And the ship?)

He frowned, "Hud yc knayd." (Not as great)

"Ra bnupypmo caah dra lnycr. Tyt, E sayh. Ra'c kuehk du pa cu beccat... ech'd ra?" (He probably seen the crash. Dad, I mean. He's going to be so pissed... isn't he?)

"E fuimth'd pa cu cina, Rikku." (I wouldn't be so sure, Rikku.) He jabbed his wrench in the direction of one of the windows, turning his attention back to the smoking control panel. He wasn't exactly sure what had happened but they certainly weren't anywhere near where they started. He wasn't even sure if they were still in Spira, and that possibly confused the Al Bhed male even more.

He wasn't exactly sure on how to tell his sister about what happened, on how they ended up where they were now. He only began to work on fixing the ship the best he could, maybe getting them back home somehow. It was the only think he could do. He needed to get the ship fixed and Rikku home before Cid realized that they were gone with ship.

"Brother, fryd tu oui sayh?" (Brother, what do you mean?) Rikku questioned after a moment of silence, moving next to her sibling. Her eyes watched his every movement with the tools, trying to figure out a way to help him. Though even a fool knew how stubborn her brother could be, and how he wouldn't allow her to help. "Brother?"

"Zicd muug uid dra fehtuf." (Just look out the window.) His answer was mumbled as his eyes moved upward to his younger sibling, who stood over him at the moment. He watched as she placed her hands on the edge of the control panel, glancing out of the front window that a curious child. Brother moved his gaze from his sibling and back to the panel, starting to work on them once more. "Fryd tu oui drehg?" (What do you think?)

"Frana yna fa? Yht fro yna druca... ur hu! Fryd ev drao yna Al Bhed Rydanc?!" (Where are we? And why are those... oh no! What if they are Al Bhed Haters?!) The girl's voice was panicked as she noticed all the people gathering around the ship. She watched as they seemed utterly confused by the presence of the airship, some even looking disgusted.

"Famm... fro tuh'd fa ku caa? Knyp cusa faybuhc vnus dra pylg, yht fa'mm ku dyga y muug." (Well... why don't we go see? Grab some weapons from the back, and we'll go take a look.) He grunted as he placed his wrench down and glanced over at his sister. He wanted to laugh at the nervousness on his sister's face, but now wasn't the time or place. Right now the two of them had to stick together, they couldn't be arguing right now. "Rikku?"

"Right," She nodded. She turned swiftly and hurried off to the back of the ship, where most of the weapons rested. She stepped through the already open doors, probably due to the crash itself, and began to gather small weapons that could be hidden on a person. She also grabbed up some armor that also rested in the room, just to hide the weapons mostly.

After placing some of the armor she grabbed on her person, along with the weapons — all but one small gun like weapon, which she saved for brother — she turned and walked out of the room. It hadn't taken too long to get to her brother, soon after handing the gun to him as she reached him. "Ev oui fyhd cusa ynsun, E'mm kad ed vun oui." (If you want some armor, I'll get it for you.)

He raised a brow, "Rikku, fa'na hud kuehk ehdu y syzun pyddma…" (Rikku, we're not going into a major battle)

"Whatever," She retorted as she turned her back to him, crossing her arms against her chest. "E fyc zicd dnoehk du ramb!" (I was just trying to help!)

He rolled his eyes, "Mad'c ku." (Let's go)

She nodded, "Right!"

With that being said the two made their way over to the door. Rikku watched as the door slid open after Brother hit's a button on the wall, beside the door. She almost wanted to hide behind Brother when the door opened to reveal a crowd, but she couldn't. Her curious nature over took her fear of these people, who just stared at the group and whispered among themselves.

"Brother.. Drao yna dyne yd ic…" (Brother… They are staring at us…)

He replied quietly, "Cu oui ryja hudelat ed duu?" (So you have noticed it too?)

She glanced at him, "Cemahla, Brother, fa haat du vekina uid fryd'c kuehk uh" (Silence, Brother, we need to figure out what's going on.)

A/N: Kind of a boring chapter, but things are about to change real soon. It'll all pick up after the next chapter, I promise. Also, reviews and such are welcome :]
