R&R that's all I got to say right now!



I ran through the forest blindly. Branches of the trees hit me as I ran by, tearing the soft flesh of my arms. The tears I cried seemed to freeze on my face; I rubbed my cheeks clean of them, as more streamed down in their place.

I saw a thicket in the woods; so, I decided that I would take refuge underneath it. I buried my face in my hands, crying hysterically, feeling all of the pain take its toile on me in the instant I dropped to my knees on the ground.

'He never loved you! Stop crying over him, you weak child,' Came that same nasty, uncaring, voice in my head. "Stop it! Leave me alone!" I screamed to myself. 'I'll never stop. you belong to me, I'm here to control you!" the voice retorted. I began to hit myself repeatedly on the head; not feeling the pain, just wanting to inflict more and more until I went numb and never felt anything ever again.

'Aw, what's the matter? You want to sit there and cry forever? You have a pilgrimage to complete, remember? Finish that and I won't speak to you again, ever,' It declared. "You're lying! You'll be here still, no matter what happens to me," I retorted. 'Child, you're doing this to yourself. I am but a figment of your imagination,' It declared firmly. "No. You're real, and all you want to do is ruin my life!" I retorted angrily at it. 'Life? What life are you talking about? Oh, I see. the life that you gave up for the rest of the word! Could that be it, by chance?' it said, with obvious sarcasm.

I broke down and let myself fall to the cold ground below. I sobbed uncontrollably on the floor. Then I said, "You are right. it is my fault that I am to die, I can only blame myself now." I said miserably, as I lye on the floor.

Auron, still holding Rikku's body in his muscular arms; couldn't bring himself to release her from his grasp. She gazed up at him with those swirling green eyes of hers, as if they were begging him to take her. She placed a soft hand on his cheek, stroking it gently with her thumb. He responded to her by sighing heavily, and holding her closer to him. She removed her thumb, and smiled brightly, before she replaced it with her lips. Auron at first was reluctant, but he soon leaned into the kiss as well.

He tightened his grip on her, Rikku's hands began to roam his well-built chest. She pulled away from him for a bit, planting kisses all along his neck. His hands traveled underneath her shirt, exploring her soft mounds. She moaned lightly, leaning into his touch.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Where's Yuna? And what the hell are you two doing?" Lulu said interrogatively. They both disengaged themselves from each other's arms; Rikku hadn't noticed that Auron had lifted her shirt, exposing her breasts. Lulu frowned. "Where's Yuna? She was with you two last I saw." Lulu stated.

Auron shrugged, "I don't know. perhaps, she's back at the campsite?" Lulu shook her head, "No, she isn't. Now, you tell the truth, where is she? Don't you dare try to lie to me." She said heatedly. "Maybe she ditched us!" Rikku piped in. "That is highly unlikely." Lulu said, tossing her hair back as she spoke. "Well, I do not know where she is." Auron explained. "Well, then you both shall help me look for her. Pull your shirt down, Rikku," She hissed. "Humph, I'll do just that." Rikku declared.

They all walked in the forest, calling out Yuna's name wherever she might've been. Rikku ran off in another direction, searching for her, which gave Lulu a chance to speak privately with Auron.

"So," Lulu began. "Might I ask what it is you were doing back there?" she inquired. Auron sighed, "Is this really the place or the time for this?" "I think so." Was all she said in response. "Well, then, is this your business?" he said sharply. "I think it is, granted that your little exploration with that Al Bhed could be the reason that Yuna left." Lulu explained. Auron sighed once more, heavier this time and a bit ashamed too. "Lulu, why would Yuna leave because of something I did?" Auron asked, testing to see if Lulu truly knew why. "Because, Sir, I feel that Yuna has some sort of attraction to you. Though, I do not know if it should be confused with love." Lulu explained. "I never even considered that." Auron said sarcastically. "Sure. You think I didn't know about your little 'visit' to Yuna's room the other night?" "Nothing happened." Auron replied quickly. "That's not what Kimahri said." she paused. "He knows nothing of what happened," Auron said dryly. "Fine. We'll discuss this later," Lulu said as she walked off in another direction. "Yes, keep walking, and stay the hell out of things that do not concern you." Auron muttered to himself.

I awoke to feeling someone tap me gently on the shoulder, and hearing someone say, "Wake up, Lady Yuna." "Donna?" I said sleepily. "Yes. Yuna, you must wake up and return to your companions." She declared. "Why? You never liked me, why would you care if I were to return or not?" I asked skeptically. "Because, in all honesty, I would like for you to go on, and finish Sin. Or at least provide me with an opponent," She explained. "I-I don't think I have it in me to go on." I replied. "Get up and make yourself go on," She said. "I will not except any other answer. You will get up, and you will go on!" she exclaimed. "I don't understand! Why do you truly care now?" I said confusedly to her. "I just do. I don't really know why. so please, don't ask me for a reason, just take my words and go on." She pleaded. I lifted myself from the ground onto my shaky legs. I wanted to say something to Donna, but as soon as I looked back she had left my side. I stared on in the direction she had been standing, wondering why she'd just left without saying goodbye.

I sighed to myself, "I guess. it's time to for me to get going." I said and started on my way in the direction of the campsite.

That's it for now. Guess we'll just have to see how things turn out. Review please!
