Disclaimer: I do not own them… it's tough, but I'll just have to face it.
All right, chapter 8!
Note: I am terribly sorry for taking so long to update. I had to stay at my dad's place for a week, so I really couldn't, but I promise I'll make it up to you anyway in two ways. Next chapter will be posted in just two days, and will be extra-long! Yay!
Enjoy!

"I'll stay here with her, she's in no condition to go any further."
"Are you sure you can handle it, Sir Auron?", Yunie asked uncertainly.
"Would any of you rather stay?", he asked pointedly, and every head turned to look at me.
I was just minding my own business, happily conversing with my shoe, which was really quite the comedian.
…
"Oh, I'm sure Auron'll do fine, Yuna! Let's go! So, where are we going again?", Tidus asked lamely, scratching his head.
Lulu sighed and told him the plan in a determinedly calm voice.
"We are going to find the nearest sphere to call Cid"- I cut Lulu off with a delighted squeal of 'Pops!'- "Yes, Rikku, your Pops. He'll bring us to Macalania, where we can buy the special antidotes for Rikku's… condition, and then we'll come back to give them to her. Understand, or do we have to explain again?"
"No, that's okay. Let's go!"
"I still don't see how Rikku could have gotten infected with this stuff, ya? She's supposed to know all the dangers in this desert, right?"
Everyone looked at me again as I laughed loudly at a particularly funny joke by mister Shoe, and Lulu shook her head, squeezing the bridge of her nose.
"We'll be back in a few hours, Sir Auron. Try not to hurt her, okay?", Yunie said quickly, still uncertain, and concerned.
I abandoned mister Shoe to squeal again, and I threw my arms around Auron's neck from behind, giggling madly.
"Of course he won't hurt me, Yunie! He looooooooooooves me!"
This was met by blank stares, and I burst out giggling again, as Auron removed my arms from his neck, quite impassive.
"Don't waste time. Get the antidote."
This was an hour ago.
Auron managed to calm me down slightly. In a way only he can.
I'm staring at him dreamily, my head resting on my hand heavily as I lay on my belly in the sand, and I'm vaguely aware of the drool seeping from the corner of my mouth.
His bare, sweaty chest gleams in the orange glow of the setting Sanubia sun, muscles bulging as he attacks the invisible fiends ferociously. His Masamune might have been of the same weight as a feather in his hands, as his trained movements aren't slowed by the enormous mass of the blade at all.
"You're pretty, Auron.", I tell him earnestly, and he stops his current activity of swinging his sword around to look at me. Again.
"Really, Rikku, what kind of fiend poisoned you again?", he asks, slightly annoyed that I interrupted his training again, and he sets down his sword before walking towards me with his eyebrow raised.
I squeal and turn to lie on my back hastily, raising my arms towards him in an invite to hug me. He sits down beside me in the sand instead, putting his hand on my forehead to check my temperature. I giggle and try to kiss/bite his hand playfully, but he pulls it back before I can succeed.
He murmurs something along the lines of 'slight fever', but I get too distracted to really hear. I point eagerly, my voice high-pitched and giggly:
"Look, Auron, cotton candy! I love cotton candy! But not as much as I love you, Auron, don't worry! Look, Auron, cotton candy! I bet it's orange-flavoured. Look!"
"Those are clouds, Rikku. Calm down."
"Do you think clouds taste like cotton candy, Auron? I think they do! Why are there clouds in the desert, anyway? You'd think I'd know, I lived here for ages! What do you think, Auron? Do you think clouds taste like cotton candy? I think they do! Do you want to go swimming, Auron? There's a whole ocean around that dune! Really, look!"
"That's sand, Rikku. Calm down.", he says calmly, an amused look on his face.
I giggle again, and I lean forward suddenly, successfully wrapping my arms around his neck. I kiss the side of his mouth sloppily, before snuggling my face in his bare shoulder cosily. He strokes my hair calmingly, and I feel his steady breathing brushing my ear, which makes me shiver pleasurably.
I look up suddenly after a while.
"Do you hear that?", I ask, getting up quickly and looking for the origin of the sudden music.
Auron looks at me strangely as I start dancing slowly, swaying my hips to the addictive music he can't hear (apparently, or he would've joined me). My eyes close and I raise my arms to the setting sun, humming along with the dreamy melody.
I crack open an eye to see Auron staring at me with a slight smile on his face, shaking his head slowly. I giggle, motioning him to come closer. He does, his hands landing on my swaying hips when he reaches me, our bodies only an inch apart.
"You weren't attacked by a fiend, were you?"
"No…"
I mean, I never said I was. Yunie made that up. I just went along.
"Well, I can't believe it's the sun."
He raises his eyebrow questioningly.
I grin mischievously, leaning up to him to whisper in his ear conspiringly.
"Cactuar juice. It's really yummy." I pull back.
He shakes his head again.
"So you drank fiend-poison?"
I nod eagerly, a face-breaking grin plastered on my face.
"And I suppose there isn't really an antidote?"
The 'antidote' is something I might have mentioned… to get rid of certain people.
For obvious reasons.
I start playing with the zipper of his pants with a sly grin on my face, looking up at him from under my eyebrows.
"Not really…", I purr seductively, "But are you complaining?"
He kisses me passionately as an answer, and I deepen it, primal needs sparked immediately, enhanced by the poison (though it wouldn't have been needed).
Large hands release my body from the few clothes I'm wearing in record-time, callused fingers feeling my bare skin greedily, and I take down his pants in one smooth motion, pressing my body against his.
He lays me down on the ground, but I struggle slightly, flipping us when he loosens his grip. I stop the tongue-wrestling, grinning down at Auron lustfully, him looking at me with the same fire.
I kiss my way down his chest, leaving a sloppy wet trail, muscles flexing where my tongue wets his hot skin. I reach my goal, feeling giddy, and I kiss the tip before slowly taking him in my mouth. I trace his large, pulsing member with my tongue needily, the earthy taste the best thing I ever had, the strained grunts from Auron making my heart beat faster and faster. His hand grips my shoulder when I suck on him, wrenching moans from his throat while I lick and kiss his erection hungrily.
"Rikku…", he groans as he comes in my mouth, and I swallow his seed immediately, smacking my lips at the… unusual taste. I've had it before, but it's still kinda weird. Yet the look on Auron's face makes it awfully satisfying. You get the idea.
I climb over his heaving chest to kiss him, which he returns roughly, our tongues battling it out as he grabs my hips and positions me above him.
I sheathe him completely, starting to move up and down in a fast, desperate rhythm, and I arch my back in pleasure. Moaning loudly, I ride him fiercely, the pressing heat in my body quickly going into overload, and I scream when it explodes, Auron groaning beneath me as he releases inside me.
I collapse on top of him, breathing heavily, and my lover's fingers play with my hair lazily.
"I love you, Auron.", I mumble, tracing my finger lightly over a particularly large scar right under his colarbone.
He strokes my cheek with his thumb softly, a gentle smile on his face.
"I love you too, my little thief.", he answers, making me melt, event though I already knew and everything.
He gets up after a while, bending to kiss me on the cheek before walking towards his clothes. He starts to get dressed, leaving me lying in the sand, staring at him dreamily with a dumb smirk on my face, and he glances at me with a affectionate smile on his face every few seconds.
I get up slowly, walking towards him in predator mode, and I rip the shirt he was about to put on from his hands. I burry my hand in his pants he so annoyingly put back on, giggling at the raised eyebrow directed at my mischievous face.
"I want again.", I announce with a little jerk, and he growls before complying, capturing my lips in another hungry kiss.
"Hey, Rikku, I ran up ahead to check on yo-… Holy CRAP! Auron?!"
I shriek and bite down on Auron's lip in shock (accident!), who grunts and pulls away while Tidus - who just walked in on us! - screams about his eyes, running in cirkles like an idiot.
Before Tidus can do anything else, Auron yanks at his arm and makes him stand still, glaring at him to shut up. I grab Auron's coat and wrap it around me hastily, blushing terribly.
"Don't you know how to knock?", I say angrily when I get over the shock of being caught with my hand in the cookie jar (Auron's pants). Thank machina he didn't step in twenty minutes ago, that would've been really ugly.
Both members of the male species look at me strangely, and I realise dully he couldn't have knocked, since we're in a desert.
Hey, I'm high on fiend-poison, okay? It already wore off, but still.
Tidus seems to snap out of the shock and turns around, and he starts talking in a weird squeaky voice.
"Uhm, you guys'd better… get dressed, the others'll be here in half an hour.", he stutters.
We do, and I walk up to Tidus when I'm done, telling Auron to go get his sword with made-up sign language, which he miraculously understands, and he walks away.
"Listen, Tidus… uhm… would you please not tell anyone? You know Yunie, she'd just… freak out, or whatever. And the others, they wouldn't understand, you know? Uhm… please?"
He nods, and he scratches the back of his head in that lame way of his again.
"Yeah, uh, sure, you just gotta do what you gotta do, Rikku, I won't judge. Actually, I sorta had a feeling you two were… I mean, you weren't really subtle. But, seriously, Rikku, Auron? He's like fifty!"
I scowl, punching his shoulder (sort of) playfully.
"Thirty-five, meanie!"
"Ouch, geez, I was kidding!"
There's an amused chuckle from the direction Auron went, and I sigh at the lovely sound.
Tidus frowns and motions me to come closer (rubbing his bruised shoulder… heh).
"Are you like… seriously in love with him?", he asks in a low voice.
I grin.
"Yes. And he is too."
He shrugs.
"Then I'm glad for ya, Rikku."
"Me too."
Hope you like it!
I need a hug! I had to go to my dad's place for a week! Totally killed off my imagination… It's not very… inspiring there. And a week is just overkill.
Again, I'm sorry it took so long to update. As I said, next chapter will be posted in two days! I'm working on 5 chapters at once. Yeah, I know, I'm weird. But that means that's 5 chapters that'll be done quicker!
This was more of a total-lemon chapter, not really any plot (is there ever a plot in my fic?), but the next few chapters will be a little more plot-y… sort of.
Thanks, reviewers!
Viva La Kitty: I thought the corset-idea was wonderful, I'll use that for sure, and more of your ideas as well. I couldn't do the blood thing (though that would've been cool) 'cause I made Rikku afraid of his blood a few chapters ago. Might become an interesting one-shot, though (grins).
AmazonTurk: I'll drink to your top 5! May Auron always be on there. And I think it's best not to dwell on the fact we'll never own them (breaks down and cries).
Losttoxichope: You are quite right, Auron is a great guy. Sorry, I still didn't post the nice and sweet one, hope that wasn't too disappointing for you. It'll be posted asap, promise! It's in the making and everyting.
Drachegirl14: Why let her dream about it, if she can have it for real… I'm really gonna use your idea, I like it! Can I have Auron now? Please?
Darknessofmyheart: Thank you! I'm glad you're into my story. Heh, funny you mention Gippal catching them. I let Tidus do it, though, because I'm going to use Gippal for another chapter… (and I already had this in mind, too).
Fireworkmage: Thank you! I'm glad you like my story.
Jem Tiers: Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it. If I keep the chapters coming, do you keep the reviews coming?
Kisses and hugs for your thoughts! And cookies! In the shape of Auron… Yummy. xD
