Chapter 10
The tall warrior stood shocked as she gazed across the arena at her friend, who happened be to Silver Shadow's Partner in crime.
Oerba Yun Fang, a tribal woman with a nasty Kane Lance and even more lethal smile when it came to business.
"Paine, those two are two out of the top four fighters I believe in this world. This should be fun!" grinning madly, Astron waves at the two women and was pleased when they waved back.
"Who are they and who are the other two in the top four?" Paine's body relaxed as she leant against her sword waiting for the announcer to announce the start of the match.
"The tall one is Oerba Yun Fang, She is the second most lethal killer known around. Beside her is her girlfriend Lightning Farron. She used to be in the Guardian Corps on Cocoon and now is Fang's partner in bounty hunting, she is the third strongest."
Taking a breath and listening as the announcer explains this is a match outside of the tournament she turns back to Paine, "You are the fourth strongest and could easily surpass those two, but I doubt you would pass the first strongest."
Smirking the silver haired warrior knew Astron was the first strongest, she knew she probably could never beat her; nor did she want too.
"Maybe I don't want to beat her." hearing the start of the match both women quickly survey the area and head in two different directions.
~BREAK~
Drawing in the sand with one toe, Rikku was smiling as she remembers the past day and how she was happy to be back for a bit; watching as the waves sowly come up to wash away the small words written in the sand.
"Don't let that wash away hun, would be nice to let the world see it."
Looking up to where the voice was coming from, Rikku's smile faded just a little; her girlfriend had been preoccupied with everyone else she hadn't even noticed Rikku had left before.
"Yes, well nothing lasts forever I guess." Getting up the blond looks at Yuna, expecting some kind of reply, but when all she got was a sad look from her girlfriend she starts to walk down the beach.
"Rikku c'mon!" the summoner starts following her girlfriend knowing that she needed to make up for being distracted. Catching up she gently grabs Rikku's arm, as the girl turns towards her Yuna does not give her time to talk; instead she presses her lips to the blonde's.
Being caught off guard the blond almost falls, but then instinctively wraps her arms around the brunette's neck as they kiss; having missed her girlfriend most of the day.
Pulling apart after a few seconds, Rikku couldn't help but smile and rest her head on the brunette's shoulder.
"I'm sorry Rikku, I promise you have me all to yourself for the rest of vacation unless you decide we go see someone." Smiling Yuna gives the blond a squeeze gaining a small squeak as a reward.
"It's ok Yunie, and thank you." Nuzzling her girlfriend's neck, Rikku knew the next few days would be even better.
~BREAK~
"Sir, why are we here again, I hate the Thunder Plains?" a roguish man asks as they walk down a dark tunnel inside a mountain.
"We are here because the man you work for wanted us to make sure everything was fine." Josa replies as he looks down the corridor and sees no light from a fire.
The small group of men slowly walks down and around the corner, stopping with faces twisted in horror at what lies before them.
The four men that were sent months ago to watch over the graves were decaying as the bodies laid in heaps.
"Uhh sir, what happened?"
The men looked everywhere for any sign of intruders but with the bodies already decaying it had been at least a few days.
"We won't find much, let's get back to the ship and report to back." At Josa's words they quickly began their trek back out of the mountain.
~BREAK~
The fight had now gone on for four hours and both sets of women were nowhere near tired, Astron was heading off against Fang, while Paine was sparring with Lightning. All four warriors able to read the other as the crowd cheered watching.
"So you are Paine right?" the pink haired woman asks as she parries a right cut from the silver haired woman.
"Yes, and you are Lightning," Paine replies dodging a swipe that would have at the very least trimmed the top of her hair off. "How do you know Astron?"
Locking swords each woman grabbed the blunt edge of their blade while still holding onto the hilt and trying to push the other off balance.
"I met her through Fang, on a job once we all work together often."
Finally they pushed against each other and unlocked sword's with a loud clang, both looking over to see their counterparts really going at it.
Astron had Fang backed into a corner until the Pulsian turned her spear into oversized nun chucks, both giving and receiving hard blows as they danced.
"Ya know something Astron, you've gotten…" grunts as she barely dodges a hit on the shoulder, "better, how the hell you keep getting better!?"
Laughing as she steps backwards quickly avoiding the end of the woman's kane lance, Astron was having a blast. "Oh seems I just keep getting better and better partner."
The twinkle in her eye giving away what she meant to the Pulsian woman.
"Oh want to get back in the business eh, does your woman know this?"
Suddenly both women were pinned down to the ground, but when they looked up it was Paine pinning Astron down and Lightning on top of Fang.
"What's the big idea, we were fighting!?" Astron yells a bit confused and looks toward Fang who tried to just shrug her shoulders.
"They called the match love, we hit the five hours mark and they decided it was a draw." Pain explains not really trying to get up from where she was.
"Alrighty then, how about we leave and grab a drink or something then?"
The three others smile as they nod, helping the two women up , they make their way out of the arena and down the street to find a Café.
