How I Found You: A Rikku/Auron Fic

Chapter Ten: How I Became Yours

//////////////

            When I awoke, I was still under the lightening tower. However, I didn't awake on my own, I awoke to fiend attacking me. So you can imagine I was pretty startled and felt ashamed of myself for letting it happen. In a matter of seconds it was dead and I stood, to continue my journey, to where, I didn't know.

            I trekked off toward the other end of the Thunder Plains, trying to stay near the towers. It shocked me to see there were hardly any fiends I ran into, no puns intended.

However when I saw the Iron Giant, it worried me, a lot. Luckily it hadn't seen me yet, but I noticed a group of men had. They didn't look friendly at all, infact, when they got closer to me I saw exactly who they were…the men from Luca.

            "Well well…look who it is boss." One stated.

            I brought my targe up to guard myself as they approached further.

            "Ah yes…the Al Bhed from Luca…we…enjoyed your company." The man called "boss" stated.

            "Well, I didn't quite enjoy yours…" I spat back.

            "Boys…maybe we should enjoy her again?" boss stated.

            They all made nasty growls of lust and then came at me, I quickly dodged and before I knew what I was doing, I was climbing the lightening tower. I grabbed a grenade and threw it down at them, causing them to scatter. I noticed two were down and three more to go.

            "Cred!" [Shit!] I muttered as I saw the Iron Giant coming toward us.

            If I stayed where I was, the giant would get me, if I were on the ground, the men and the giant would attack me. I was known to be a daredevil when I was a child, so felt

Like living up to my name. I pulled out two grenades and unpinned them, throwing them to the ground right by the tower. The explosion caused the tower to collapse, and it felt it land on the giant, killing it. I jumped off with difficulty and saw I killed the two men; the boss was the only one remaining.

            He lunged at me when I least expected it, knocking me to the ground. I struggled beneath his heavy weight, trying to breath. He was about to stab me when I tried to stab back. I saw him gurgle and blood come out of his mouth, dying. I breathed and then felt his body lifted off of me. I looked up to see Auron, looking at me with concern. He pulled his sword out of the bosses' back and I saw that he was the one who killed him.

            I slowly stood with Auron's help, wincing as my arm hurt. He examined it carefully and murmered words I couldn't understand here and there.

            "It's fractured…you must have fell pretty badly to have done this…" He explained.

            "The tower…" I said and pointed with my good arm.

            I saw his eyebrow raised a bit and he seemed skeptical, "It fell on your arm and only fractured it?"

            "No! I fell off of it when I decided to crash it into the Iron Giant." I explained.

            Auron healed it quickly and then was about to talk to me when I heard movement near the tower.

            "I'll check It out." I spoke.

            I ran over to the fallen tower and saw one of the men I thought had killed alive. The instant he saw me he face turned nasty. I then saw Auron was behind me.

            "You dirty little chit, you may have gotten away this time, but the next time my group sees you they will know you've been marked, I'm dying…but some man will enjoy you in my place just like I enjoyed you in Luca…" he muttered and coughed up blood, dying.

            Auron just seemed to look at the dead man and me, probably because by then I was crying. I really didn't want Auron to know. However, I knew he was smart he wouldn't be blind to what the man had said.

            "Ri-…." He started.

            "No! I don't want to talk about it. Never! It never happened!" I screamed, clasping my hands over my ears.

            "Rikku…you need to talk about it or else the wound will never heal…" He spoke.

            "What is there to talk about Auron?! I was raped; It will never heal the fact that my virginity was stolen by some thugs! When I wanted to give it to some one special…"

I yelled.

            "Rikku…don't say that…" Auron replied calmly, he probably didn't like that I said I wanted to give it to some one special.

            I started to walk toward the inn I saw and then saw Auron step in front of me. I tried to walk past and barred it from me.

            "Auron! Just please, get out of my presence. It just makes me feel even more unclean!" I cried.

            I managed to run past him to the inn, I really didn't need this at the moment. I cried the whole way there, just wanting to be away from him. Where were Jecht and Braska anyway? Ahead of us? Behind us? I didn't have time to think as I opened the door to the inn.

            "One room please…" I said quickly and placed the money on the desk.

            "Enjoy your stay." The receptionist spoke.

            I just marched into the room, and started to unbuckle my weapons and equipment. I just let I drop to the floor, then taking the goggles off from around my neck. Next came my shoes and socks. I sighed as I pulled my shirt and the rest of my clothing off. Lastly, I took down my hair, letting it fall to my shoulders.

            It was a nasty habit of mine ever since Luca for me to bath constantly. Some people would think I just was a very clean person but they didn't know the true reason: I constantly felt dirty. I walked into the bathroom to bath in warm water, more like scolding hot.

            The instant my skin burned, I felt like I was one step closer of the many to being clean. I lounged in the water for about half and hour, letting my skin feel the heat of the water. As I stepped out of the water, I saw steam coming off my skin, I was somewhat satisfied.

            However when I stepped back into my bedroom I wasn't satisfied. Auron was lying on the only bed in there, noting but pants on. I blushed a bit, because he looked like he was sleeping, but I was in a towel, so regardless, I felt nervous. I made the mistake of hitting my targe with my foot, wincing at the sound it make.

            Auron shifted and opened his eyes, seeing me almost immediately; all I could was blush and head toward the bathroom again.

            "Rikku…" he spoke clearly.

            I felt compelled to stop in my tracks so I did, keeping my back to him. I heard him shift more on the bed and then it was silent. Right as I was about to move again, I felt his hands on my shoulder, causing me to jump a bit.

            "Rikku…I've made a decision…" he spoke softly into my ear.

            "A decision?" I asked confused.

            I slowly turned to face him and I could have sworn I saw almost somewhat relief and content on his face. What had he made a decision on? It had me baffled.

            "Yes…I talked with Braska and Jecht about it and they will not hold it against me...I've decided to stop…being a monk of Yevon…" he responded slowly.

            I was confused; he was giving up on being a monk in a blink of an eye? It didn't sound like the Auron I knew, and what about the whole I can't love you because of Yevon…unless, he made perfect sense now. He decided to stop being a monk for me…I was happy yet sad. It felt almost like now that I had him I didn't want him, because I felt like I was too soiled. A small frown came to my face.

            "I…thought you would be happy…" Auron spoke confused, a frown forming.

            "No…I'm happy, it's just…" I looked down at myself; I could feel the dirt coming back onto my skin.

            "You look clean to me…" Auron replied, touching my face with his hand.

            Those five words ringed in my ears about a thousand times before they set in, he didn't care that I was dirty? Tears came to my eyes, I didn't think he would want me at all and now he was practically begging. I never realized love had such a power over people, to change them.

            His lips came to mine, letting me taste more of his drug. Before I knew what was happening, I was on the bed with him, however there was no use of stopping. I never wanted it to stop and Auron didn't want it to either. Our lips kept meeting and then his lips met my cheek, heading downwards.

            I couldn't help but let my fingers run through his hair, as I felt it spill out of its braid onto his shoulders. I never realized how much Auron looked good with his hair down but I didn't have much time to ponder about it as I felt great pleasure run through my body.

            I felt his hands slid down to my mid arms, as he kissed more of my neckline. I never felt more loved in my life. I didn't even mind anymore that I was only in a towel; it was only going to get in the way. Almost on que, Auron tugged the silly thin fabric off from around of my body, taking in what he saw. His hands slid across my chest, taking in the new areas. I felt his calm breath in my ear, whispering to me.

            "Your beautiful Rikku…Inside and out…" he spoke softly and then nibbled on my ear.

            I just let out a sigh of relief and pleasure. If I had to say what night was the best of my life, it would be this night. I felt Auron's warmth leave me momentarily, but the come back, except a whole lot warmer.

            I couldn't help but let out a gasp when I felt our flesh melding [Erm…by this I mean, he's now naked on top of her…he's not "in" her yet…don't know why I put this note here…] , we were truly flesh to flesh with no fabric in the way. I was breathing heavily already, and I felt us becoming one.

            It was a wonderful feeling and he treated me with the utmost gentleness and love. I kissed him further, exploring his mouth as I felt myself reach my peak. It was bliss, if Yevon had his own type of heaven that wasn't the farplane I felt like I was there. But since I didn't believe in Yevon I would have to replace it with the idea of a paradise created just for Auron and me.

            I felt exhausted and I could feel Auron breathing heavily against me. He pulled himself off of me and laid down beside me, holding me to him. Our hair were entangled in each others as he murmured many things into my ear last one being, "E muja oui…" [I love you…] I didn't know till now that he understood and spoke AL Bhed, but all of that was put aside as I fell asleep peacefully in his embrace, ignoring the loud sounds from the outside thunderstorm.
