I had posted chapter 11 yesterday, but it was an utter failure so I re-wrote the majority of it!

Thanks 4 reading!

Tidus, Yuna, Paine, and I walked through Guadosalam. When we reached the Syndicate building and two male goons opened the doors. Yuna, Paine, and I walked though. I turned to see them stopping Tidus.

"He's with me." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him in. The two goons mumbled to themselves and shut the doors.

"Leblanc!" Yuna called up the stairs. A female goon came running down stairs.

"Miss Leblanc is upstairs. " She directed us up the staircase and into Leblanc's room.

I walked up the stairs with Tidus. He had never met Leblanc before. I held his hand. Leblanc hardly wore any clothing in general so It's hard to tell what she could be wearing now.

They four of us walked into her room to find her in her in a towel.

"L-Leblanc!" Yuna said covering her eyes. Paine walked over to a dresser and threw Leblanc some underwear. I covered Tidus's eyes and shut my own.

"You didn't see anything did you?" I whispered to Tidus.

"Nope." He replied back.

"Good." I said.

"Sorry Ladies I didn't know you were going to bring me a boy." She said. I opened my eyes and uncovered Tidus's, which was a mistake. Paine had thrown her the worst possible underwear. A thong and a extremely tiny bra.

"L-Leblanc." Yuna said throwing a robe on her head.

"This is my house. I can dress as I please." She said rolling her eyes at Yunie and throwing the robe onto the floor. Then she looked at Tidus "So this is the famous boy, that you thought was in that one sphere. Humph. He's adorable Yuna. You're lucky! But I have my Noojie-Woojie." She said turning around.

"But why is he holding onto Blondie over there?" She asked Yuna.

"We broke up about a week ago." Yuna said sitting onto Leblanc's giant round bed.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" Leblanc turned to me "How could you take your cousin's EX!?"

"I- Uh." I didn't know how to reply. I just held onto Tidus's arm like a scared little girl. He pulled away and threw it around my shoulders. Now, I was clinging to his side.

Leblanc took her fan and placed it under Tidus's chin. "Yuna is a good girl! This one." She said pointing a finger at me "Is to young!" She turned and walked away.

"She-" I stopped Tidus mid sentence.

"She's always had it out for me. Don't worry about it, okay." I said to him.

"Fine." He muttered. Paine stood looking at the life like Nooj that was in the wall.

"Still have this pointless thing?" Paine said flicking the glass.

"It's my Nooj! Of course I do!" Leblanc said. She was now sitting beside Yuna on the bed. "Now why are you here?" She asked us.

"Like I know." Tidus, Paine and I said together. Yuna jumped up from the bed and looked at me "It was your idea!"

"Huh?" I was taken aback by Yuna's tone. It was angry, but shaky and scared all at the same time.

Tidus rubbed one of my arms soothingly. I pulled away and ran out of the room. Two pairs of footsteps ran after me as I bolted down the steps and out the two front doors.

I ran to the path way that split into two, one way lead to the ThunderPlains, the other back to the Moonflow.

"Rikku!" Tidus yelled at me.

"Stop being stupid!" Paine commanded.

"This was all a bad Idea, Tidus." I screamed. A few Guado and other humans stood by turned their heads.

"What are you talking about?" He asked. I felt two hands come down on my shoulders.

"Us. Look at Yuna! It was all a mistake! Maybe we should cancel everything! Get back together with her, even if she just got married to Baralai!" I screamed louder. I pair of high-heeled boots appeared before me. I had been staring at the ground

Paine pulled my chin up and forced me to face her. She slapped me across the face. "Snap out of it!" She yelled back . "Just because Yuna is upset that she doesn't have Tidus doesn't mean you have to break everything you have done with him! Rikku, you're blind. He loves you!" She said dropping my chin.

I wasn't one to cry that much ( even though I have cried a lot recently. ) Large salt water tears filled my eyes and poured down my cheeks.

"B-But Yuna's not the o-only one hurting!" I stuttered out. My normally cheerful voice cracked.

"Who? Who is the other person? Rikku!" Paine demaned.

"G-Gippal!" I confessed. "He's told me he loved me. He told me so much. Now, Now that I have moved on. He's breaking. Breaking because of me! Same with Yunie!" I cried. I stood there crying. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist pulling me back into someone's toned abs.

"Do you love him?" Tidus asked, burying his face into the back of my hair.

"No. I love you." I said turning around in his arms and hugging him. I cried into his bare chest, that his Zanarkend Abes uniform showed.

"Then don't worry about it." Paine said walking off. I heard her whisper something to Tidus. But I couldn't hear over my crying.

"Are you happy?" Tidus asked another question. I wanted to confess everything to him. How I felt about him. How happy I was to be with him. But I was nervous I had no Idea how to tell him. I nodded.

"Speak." He commanded. He pushed me back gently until we were an arms length apart.

"I love you! I always have! Since I met you two years ago on the old Al-Bhed boat! " I said to him.

I was still looking down when he pulled me back into his chest. He buried his face once more into my hair. I still cried. I heard someone weep nearby. I forcefully pulled my head out of his chest to see Yuna standing a feet yards away. A tear streamed out of her miss-matched eyes. I tried to say Yuna, but I couldn't speak. She was married. Why would she cry over a man that rejected her? I didn't understand but I felt guilt for it all. All her pain and sorrow. My fault. I wanted to scream. Just to disappear. I felt like I would never smile or laugh again. Like, My old self was lost. Lost in a deep darkness that just ate away at me. Causing me to spiral into a deep depression.

"Yuna." Tidus mumbled. He had pulled his face out of my hair. She just shook her head back and forth. Hard. I saw a sparkle of tears fly to her left. She just whimpered and ran off.

"Tidus.." I said throwing my face back into his chest. He pulled back a little. I raised my head and looked at him.

"You need some rest." Was all he said. Something else bothered him. He started to walk away with me by his side but I stopped.

"Rikku?" He asked looking back around at me.

"I'm not tired!" I said stomping my feet like a toddler. "Something is bothering you this time!" I said looking at him."Tell me! No more secrets!" I said running to him.

"It's nothing. Let's just go have some fun with Paine and everyone else." He said grabbing my hand and pulling me back to the Syndicate house. I just gave up on wanting to know, He should tell with time. I reasoned with myself.

We walked in and Paine was sitting on the steps with Leblanc. Thank god Leblanc was back in her normal clothes. Although they showed half her boobs, It was better than the underwear.

"Where Yuna?" I asked Paine.

"Upstairs." She replied simply.

"Well, What else is there to do here?" Tidus wondered out loud.

"Let's just go get back on the airship." I suggested. That's what I wanted.

"Yuna! Let's go get on the Celsius!" Paine called up the stairs. She stood up and took out her own walkie-talkie and gave brother the order.

Yuna trotted down the stairs and out the door without a word, Like a child. I couldn't blame her though, I would have done the same. When we walked outside Brother had the airship hovering over the small town. People moved to their houses, and within seconds the streets were empty.

"Take care!" Leblanc said with a giggle.

"Yea Yea." Paine said hopping onto the ramp. Yuna was after her, Then me, Then Tidus got on last.

We walked into the engine room and straight to the elevator.

"That was a waste of time. " Paine said as she pressed the main button.

"I agree." Yuna said with a sigh.

I stayed quiet until the elevator opened with a ding!

Everyone walked out and we were immediately greeted by Nooj and Baralai, still, Gippal was gone.

Nooj must have known what I was thinking "Don't worry about him, He'll be to himself in a few more hours." Nooj whispered to me as we walked to the room where Shinra, Buddy, and Brother were all at work. I nodded an okay and walked over to Shinra.

"So, how's the analysis going?" I asked.

"Nothing. It's like this sphere has no place in which it was placed after it's creation.

"It could be Zanarkend, Since that's where Shuyin and Lenne were from." Yuna commented. Baralai stood behind her, Like Tidus did to me. It annoyed me sometimes how much he hovered over me, But I let it slide.

"But the question is, how did it get to be in Bekinal Desert?" Buddy commented from across the room.

"I'm just a kid." Shinra mumbled.

"We know that!" I said patting his head. "Just hopefully you can figure it out soon."

When I looked around in our makeshift circle we had formed around Shinra half was gone. Yuna and Baralai had walked away.

I turned to where Brother sat in the driver's seat. "How long must you two stay here!?" He called in Al-Bhed so Tidus didn't understand.

"Two days!" I called back in complete English.

Tidus must have know what Brother had asked me because he just smiled and looked around the room.

Two more days until we can go…… home.
