Hey I'm glad you guys are liking the story so far! I know its been awhile and I'm sorry about that, just a lot of things have been going on you guys know how that is.
A/N: The flashback will be in Paine's POV
On the Deck 2 days later
Paine's POV
"Yuna are you sure you should be leaving at a time like this" I asked stopping her outside the Celsius.
"I'm as worried as you are but there's really nothing we can do" She replied looking at the ground.
You see Yuna was leaving to spend 2 weeks in Besaid, she told me it wasn't that long, well it was when we were in danger.
((Flashback))
Rikku was sitting there looking at me and Yuna. When Rikku told us what her attackers looked like they fit Bevelle's guards down to the last detail.
She hasn't been smiling that much after that day and she's been kind of upset and dodging most questions we ask her. So after a few hours I decided to ask her about it.
"Rikku what's going on? Your not yourself anymore" I sat her down in her room
She looked down not answering who knows why, maybe she was hoping I didn't need an answer.
I placed my hand under her chin pulling her head up making her look at me.
"Rikku, what's going on?" I asked once again.
"This" That was all she had said handing me a note.
I looked at the crumpled piece of paper in her hand and finally took it from her carefully unfolding it not wanting to rip the paper. When it finally opened it read:
By the time you read this my crew will already be gone, but don't miss us to much cause we'll be back. We have to come back cause we couldn't find the gem this time.
Our sources tell us that you're holding a priceless gem aboard your ship. Even if you don't know what we're talking about its okay for now but you'll all understand later.
But for now you're all under our watch, who knows when we'll come back and who knows if we'll kill you next time as well. I can just say one thing and that's not to hide anything.
But be careful about your actions cause we will be watching your every move. We will be seeing you guys later.

"When did you get this?" I asked her folding the paper back.
"The day that all happened" She told me hanging her head looking at the floor
"Why didn't you show this to us earlier?" I sat down next to her just watching her
"I didn't know how to, I've felt funny since I've read it." She said shifting uncomfortably.
((End Flashback))
"Yuna do you really think this is a good idea?" I asked her stopping her from walking again.
"I can't tell you not to worry, cause you'll do that anyway. But I'm sorry I'm going" She said looking at me.
"If something happens come back and get me okay?" She said placing her hand on my shoulder.
I just nodded stepping out of her way.
I walked back inside the Celsius wondering what to do.
I guess Yuna's right, we really can't do anything I thought to myself.
I went up to the Deck to see Rikku sitting down watching her cousin walking through the beach.
I walked over and sat down next to her.
"I'm going to die aren't I?" She asked me looking at her cousin.
"What are you talking about?" I asked looking at her, that question startled me.
"I mean come on people from Bevelle are after me- well all of us. They said who knows if they'd kill us" I listened to her just wondering why she was thinking like this.
I slid my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me kissing the top of her head.
"Nothing's going to happen to you, I'll make sure of it." I told her pulling her on my lap just cradling her.
Kissing the top of her head again I whispered in her ear "No one's gonna touch you" I just felt her nod against me.
After awhile the ship took off and we were still just sitting there not really sure of what to say or do but to just hold each other.
"Come on lets go inside its getting cold" I said holding her a little closer watching the night sky.
She didn't say anything but just stood up and helped me up. I noticed she wasn't smiling at all but looked a little concerned.
I guess I would to if I knew someone wanted to kill me.
"Rikku" I called taking her hands in my own looking deep into her beautiful green eyes.
"Everything's going to be fine" I told her leaning my head on hers.
She just smiled hugging me tight "I hope so" I heard her whisper.
We went inside I went to the Cabin as Rikku said she was going to figure out where we were.
I lied down on my bed just looking at the clock. It read 12:30, I had no idea we were out there that late.
I heard a noise it was the ship we had landed.
Why are we landing? Where are we? I thought to myself standing up and walking out to the elevator and down to the bridge.
"Where are we?" I asked leaning against the wall.
"We're in Luca, I asked them to land so I can walk around a little" Rikku replied smiling at me.
I decided to stay here there was no reason for me to go. I ended up laying back down on my bed looking at the ceiling.
Then I heard a crash, it sounded like it came from the engine room.
There's no way their back I thought standing up looking at the door.
I took my sword and went down to the engine room cautiously walking out to see no one there.
I let my guard down when I felt immense pain as something slammed into the back of my head falling to the floor blacking out.
