Aurons big mistake
By shadows/of/flame
Macalania Temple and the road thereto.
------------------------
Rikku trudged wearily down the snow. Eventually, she thought it would be more fun to roll and stopped.
Her friends plus Auron turned to see her fall on her back.
"Hey!" Tidus cried out as she started to roll down the bank. She giggled at their surprised faces.
Then her fun was stopped by a foot.
She glared at the foot and the owner of the foot that was spoiling her fun.
Auron.
"Help me up pweddy pwease?" Rikku asked.
Auron picked her up gently.
Then Yuna saw Tromell coming up the path towards them.
"Lady Yuna... An envoy will be sent for your guardians later... It is Guado tradition after all..."
Yuna nodded, and was about to leave when Tidus whistled.
"Yessir!" Yuna grinned happily as Tromell led her off.
Rikku smiled at the intimate exchange between Yuna and Tidus.
'They are totally in love... Why can't I be like that'
Rikku shot an evil glance at Auron, so evil that when Wakka saw it, he burst into fits of giggles.
But not for long.
A group of Al Bhed had come on snowbike type machina and were circling Yuna and Tromell.
Rikku gasped.
"Oh no!" she screamed and ran onto the ice, not heeding Kimahris warnings.
She ran out to the Al Bhed on the ice and screamed:
"Fro yna oui tuehk drec? Oui ghuf e tuh'd ybbnuja yht dryd so mujat uhac femm pa rind! Aacbaleymmo... Auron."
The Al Bhed scoffed.
One with a mowhawk replied:
"Oui ryja vymmah eh muja fedr y risyh? Dryd ec muf, cecdan, ajah vun oui!"
Rikku scowled.
"Dryd ec so lruela - yht caasc E muja res, hudrehk amca syddanc!"
Brother laughed.
"cCasc oui fyhd du padnyo ouin vysemo, E femm cad drec sylrehy uh oui. Ymm ouin sykelgc yht cissuhehk femm pa icamacc - yht E's dammehk Vydran!"
Rikku sighed and prepared for battle.
Auron perked up when his name cropped up in the conversation.
The battle was easily won, and Auron turned to Rikku.
"What did you say about me?" he asked quietly as Rikku started to fix the machina.
"I said... I said that I loved you..." she murmured quietly. She was looking at the machina until Auron put his fingers under her chin.
"Really?" he asked.
She nodded.
"Yeah. I did. Muja is love. Oui is you. Get it? E muja oui. Forever and for always."
He smiled. "Do you mean that?"
She nodded again.
And he kissed her.
The others had already left on their machina bikes that Rikku had fixed before the kiss. Except Wakka who was walking.
Rikku smiled at Auron and propped the last bike the right way up.
"Shall we?" she asked smiling at the same time, and slipped easily into the drivers seat.
Auron smirked, also happily, and held onto her waist tightly.
Rikku revved the engine and the bike roared off towards the temple.
"Is being Al Bhed difficult?" Auron asked as he remembered that Kinoc said that they would be married someday.
"Not really." Rikku replied, smiling a little. "Just a few Yevonites to deal with, but they're no problem."
Auron grimaced.
"Hey... are you OK?" Rikku asked.
Auron, strange as it may seem, laid his head on Rikkus shoulder. He closed his eye wearily.
"Auron?"
Silence.
Rikku pulled the vehicle over to one side to see why he wasn't responding.
"Auron? Auron?"
He was fast asleep.
------------------
Tidus and Lulu were waiting for them outside the temple.
"Asleep?" Tidus mused as he helped Rikku get Auron off the bike.
"Yeah! He just put his head on my shoulder and fell asleep!"
"He deserves the rest." Lulu commented as she led them up to the temple.
"Halt!" the guard at the door ordered.
"Girl! Take off your goggles at once or you will not be allowed to enter!"
Rikku swore under her breath. Now everyone would know there was an Al Bhed in the temple.
She removed the goggles and the guard gasped.
"A heathen! An Al Bhed! She is not allowed in this hallowed place!" the guard decreed.
Auron woke up, and heard this. He got up, Tidus and Rikku letting go of him, and walked over to the guard.
"She is a guardian. A guardian of the Lady Yuna. Al Bhed or not, shes worth more than 100 of you put together. Let her pass."
The guard flinched and moved, the sword in the sheath on Aurons back was too dangerous looking to argue with.
Lulu smiled. "So you are awake Sir Auron."
Auron smirked tiredly. "So it would seem. The rest did do me good though."
Tidus laughed as the 4 of them went inside.
----------------
"A sphere! Of Lord Jyscal! In Lady Yunas belongings!" A woman cried as soon as the group entered the temple.
Auron looked sharply at the woman, and went past her into one of the side rooms in the temple.
Rikku and Tidus followed, Tidus having seen part of Jyscals sphere before himself.
Auron had just finished watching it by the time Rikku and Tidus had come in.
"Watch it." The man in red ordered. "It will answer many of your questions you may have about Seymour."
Tidus began to play it back...
insert Jyscals sphere contents here.
----------------
"Stop his own son? How harsh can you be?" Tidus asked Auron.
Auron sighed.
Stop Seymour.
Stop Kinoc.
This whole "stop" people thing was becoming more and more regular than he had expected.
