A second chance

Chapter one
Slowly he opened his eyes, the bright light blinding him. Am I Dead? he asked himself. He opened his eyes wider and looked around. The room was tiny, small table sat in the middle of the room with a vase filled with the most beautiful and exotic flowers he had ever seen, their sweet spicy scent filled the warm room. "No, I cant be dead" he said aloud, quickly sitting up and swinging his legs over the side of the bed, A bed? How in the world did I get here? Kuja ran his fingers through his messy silver hair to realize that his four feathers were gone. He grabbed the small hand mirror that sat on the table and pouted, the feathers had been his favorite part of him, he didn't feel the same without them. Kuja suddenly realized that he was very naked and grabbed the sheet off the bed to wrap around himself.
Kuja looked around the room cautiously, his eyes then set on a large wicker chair sitting in the corner, in the chair sat a young girl. long flowing golden blonde hair, a large scar across her left eye, it looked like she got it recently. The girl appeared to be sleeping. He slowly walked over to her stepping carefully so as not to wake her up. He peered closely at her. Suddenly her eyes snapped open and she jumped back out of the chair, "Wow wow hey! what are you hoping for mate?" she asked getting into a battle stance. Kuja blinked a few times then made his way back over to the bed, he sat down on the end and stared carefully at the girl. "How did I get here?" he asked, his voice sounding rough, the girl sat back down in the chair and relaxed. "I brought you here. I found you lying half dead near the Lifa tree". Kuja shifted uneasily as he had just become aware of the fact that he was in the same room as a girl while he was naked. "What have you done with my armor?" he asked, eyeing her suspiciously, she pointed over to a small chest at the bottom of the bed. "I put it in there, I took it off you to make you a bit more comfortable, and that's all I did in case you were wondering". Kuja felt his cheeks heat up, she had taken his armor off him. The girl giggled seeing him blush. She stood up and walked over to him,"I'm Jesrick" she said thrusting her hand out towards him. He looked at her hand questionably and nodded "Kuja". Jesrick quickly pulled her hand away. "Jesrick is a bit of a masculine name is it not?" Kuja asked, raising an eyebrow at the pretty blond, She snorted. "I was thinking your name sounded a bit feminine, along with everything else about you, it was only when I stripped you off that I realized my mistake" she said winking. Jesrick sat down on the bed beside him and smiled, she then jumped back as something silver brushed across her face. Kuja looked round and realized that his tail was swishing around madly, he grabbed hold of it tightly with his hand and blushed. "S-sorry" he stuttered "It has a mind of it's own". Jesrick seemed fascinated by it, she carefully took it from his fingers and lightly stroked it, it seemed to sparkle in the mid day sun. Kuja shivered in delight at the feather touch of her fingers. Jesrick released his tail and headed towards the door "If you need me i'll be downstairs in the kitchen, there are some clothes in the drawers over there for when you want to get dressed". Kuja stared at the door for a long time after she left. "Wow, she is beautiful".
Kuja stepped slowly down the stairs, he felt uncomfortable in the black trousers and shirt. He walked through into the kitchen so quietly Jesrick couldn't hear him. He noticed her standing by a window gazing out into the endless blue sky, he stood at the door for a long time before he decided to make his presence known. "Ahem" he coughed slightly, Jesrick looked round and stared straight into Kuja eyes. He could feel his heart beating in his chest. What is the matter with me? i barely know this girl, how come i feel like this from just looking at her? Kuja asked himself. "Uhh, i need to ask you a few things so can we talk?" he asked. Jesrick motioned for him to sit at the table, She took a seat across from him. "So what do you want to ask me?". Kuja ran his slim hands through his hair, "well for one......why did you save me? after everything i have done to this planet you saved my life". Jesrick shrugged, "I guess i felt sorry for you, you were lying the bruised and half dead. I didn't actually realize who you were till i got you here and cleaned you up". Kuja nodded, "So you aren't afraid of me then?". Jesrick shrugged again, "i don't honestly know, should i be afraid of you? are you going to try and over take this planet again?". Kuja bowed his head slightly, "No, you have nothing to fear of me". A single tear slid down his cheek. "God i am such a bastard! I can't believe i did something like this". He buried his face into his arms on the table, "I am never going to be able to show my face in public again, i'll have angry mobs after me trying to kill me". Jesrick pulled her chair over beside him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I'll help you in any way that i can".
