Chapter 28 Home Revisited
Yuna tread silently through the corridor of the airship in the dead of night. Her boots clanked against the metal of the floor as she searched for her sightless guardian. The motor of the ship was a throbbing hum that coursed non-stop throughout the craft, but was forgotten after a time, the noise fading back into one's mind. One might even finding a lulling sound, and Yuna felt a yawn creeping upon her throat as she searched the vacant rooms on the third floor of the ship.
After a time, she entered the room of Auron and Rikku. She could barely make out Auron's form, his shoulder blades to her. Yuna walked as silently as she could to the bedside, assuming Rikku would be with him. Indeed, Rikku was mashed against Auron's torso, her head tucked deeply into his neck and collarbone. The thick comforter that covered their bodies hid everything else from view. Yuna swallowed, hoping she wasn't invading their privacy.
Closing her eyes, the summoner began a low chant, calling for little speckles of light to form around Rikku. The Al Bhed murmured and squinted in her sleep, nuzzling her face into Auron's rough chin. The flecks of light then raced into the girl, eliciting a soft sigh. Satisfied, Yuna stood and began to walk away when she felt a hand on her arm. Glancing downwards in the darkness, she saw a slight smile grace Auron's lips as he silently thanked the summoner. Yuna gave a slight bow, and the older guardian released his grip so that he might grasp Rikku again. He sighed deeply, his eyelid fluttering closed as Yuna left the room.
**************************
Rikku dreamt. She dreamed that she was at her home… or what was left of it. She stood alone in a smoldering ruin, deformed metal and scraps of decaying bodies cluttering the smoking ground. A choked cry escaped her parched lips as she sank with trembling knees to the filthy ground.
The sunlight did little good here for the air was too thick to penetrate. Rikku could feel the soot falling to her shoulders, the grotesque grim and dirt covering her quaking body. Her eyes darted left and right, taking in the chaos around her. Despite the visual onslaught, the world was eerily silent.
Rikku struggled to stand, to get away from the smell of decaying bodies. She tried to run, but her legs refused to work properly, it was as if she was weighted down. Making little but some progress, she managed to get far enough away that so she might breath again.
Panting, her sight caught hold of a sweet escape… the blurry outline airship in the distance. She tried to run again, but as she staggered towards the blessed craft, she tripped. Falling, she landed in a pile of wreckage, the points and jags of metal stabbing her skin. She found herself face to face with the corpse of her father.
Screaming, Rikku scrambled backwards. In reality, she jutted away from the sleeping Auron, kicking and flailing against his body. Auron's eye flew open in shock and he winced as she kicked against his ribcage. He found Rikku writhing against the mattress, her sweat-soaked body twitching and smacking against his chest.
"Tytto! Tytto!" she cried out, the word alien to the swordsman. Unnerved by the intensity of her cries, Auron hauled his naked form upon Rikku, his weight forcing the majority of her limbs still. One hand shook her shoulder, while the other ran through her hair as he struggled to wake her from her nightmare. Her eyes flew open in a panic and she froze beneath him. It took several long moments before she realized who he was. A throaty cry emerged from her as she threw her arms around Auron's neck. He leaned his head downward, giving protection to Rikku as she buried her tear- streaked face in the crook of his neck and shoulder.
He murmured words of comfort and ease to Rikku, his voice vibrating through to the heaving chest of the girl. His weight was pleasant and comforting as he wrapped his toned arms around her neck, pillowing her head as his own face came to rest beside hers, his rough cheek brushing her damp face. Locked in embrace, Rikku felt the terrors of her dream begin to subside.
Auron adjusted himself upon Rikku, unaware of the little gasp he elicited from the girl. "…Tytto?" He asked softly, face still buried in the pillow. She remained silent. Lifting his head, he found her eyes burrowing into his.
"Daddy," she whispered, not breaking the lock. Auron nodded in understanding, a strand of defiant hair falling in front of his dark eye.
A strange look crossed Rikku's eyes as she seemed to be debating over something. He inhaled in surprise as all of the sudden she kissed him hard. Her tongue demanded admittance, and the somewhat shocked Auron opened his mouth to find her running rampant over his tonsils. She squirmed and writhed beneath him, causing Auron to gasp throatily in sudden pleasure. He understood what she was trying to do, and obliged passionately as they lost themselves in each other for what could very well be the last time on Spira.
******************************
Rikku emerged fully dressed from the room early that morning, leaving the exhausted Auron to a contented and stated sleep. She mourned the loss of his warmth and body, but she was still shaken by her nightmare. She went in search of her father.
Cid was, as expected, already on the bridge, staring at the globe-map. He was probably trying to guess Sin's location. His eyes softened when they caught site of her daughter. Somewhat at a loss, Cid's eyes opened wide when Rikku ran to him and embraced him.
"Tytto…" She said softly, burying her face in his shoulder.
