I grabbed Sora, and we ran into the Thunder Plains. We could hide out there for a little while until Auron calmed down. Plus as Sora had figured out, I knew all the little hideaways here. As we ran, I couldn't help but be proud of Sora. But I kinda knew Auron would be pissed for a while, so we would have to disappear for a while.
Sora and I watched as the others entered the Plains and started looking for us. We stayed out of sight and waited. Soon Zaon hand to use the bathroom and asked Auron to go with him. When they had left, I commed Yuna.
"When Auron is not ready to kill us, let me know. I have Sora and we are hiding from him. We are ok. Rikku say nothing or I will show him all of your panties!" I threatened her. I looked at her and saw her face go from shock to anger. But that is when I saw Zaon and Auron returning. I cut the com and waited for them to continue. That is when I saw Zaon wink in our direction. Damn that kid knows me too well, I thought.
They kept moving and we skirted around them. About the time they hit the Travel Agency, I got a call from Yuna. She informed me that Auron was no longer so mad at me, and that we could return to the group. I told her that they should get rooms at the Travel Agency. After they entered, we waited for a hour nearby then entered ourselves. Zaon and Auron had gone into the back where the rooms were, while Yuna and the girls were eating. Sora went to see his brother, while I sat down to talk to the girls.
"So...that battle with the Gold Element was tough huh? A healer is great, right?" I laughed. They looked at me, then it dawned on them. I was healing them when they were battling and they didn't know. So the look on their faces was priceless as they each figured it out.
"So you are the reason why we didn't have ailments and didn't feel tired? How close were you?!?" Yuna asked a little too loudly. I just laughed and held my pointer finger up against my lips. And that is when Auron and the boys appeared.
"I should have known that you were close. But how did you know I had calmed down?" Auron chuckled. Sora jumped in on that topic.
"Oh, mom commed Yuna while Zaon needed to use the bathroom and took you with him. She is so awesome! She even told Rikku to keep quiet about it or she would display her underwear to you!" Zaon practically choked at Sora's words while Auron looked shocked.
"E druikrd oui fyhdat sa du caa dras, Rikku?" Auron sassed her. I wasn't touching that. But I did chuckle. Rikku's face turned redder than a tomato, and even the boys knew something was up between them. After looking at each other, the most childish things popped out of their mouths.
"Rikku and Auron sitting in a tree. K I S S I N G! First comes love, then comes marriage. Then comes a baby in a baby carriage!" They both chanted at the same time. As much as I should have scolded them, all that came out of my mouth was laughter. I don't think I laughed so hard since before when I was with Braska. Both Rikku and Auron both had understood what kinda things that implied, and they both turned away from each other with faces that looked ready to explode from embarrassment.
After I fell off of the chair I was sitting on and Sora casting a healing spell on me, my laughter faded. Laughing that hard left me gasping for breath and my sides hurt. Yuna then stood up and quietly talked to the person in charge for a couple of minutes. But when she came back, she was grinning like a cheshire cat. She whispered something to Paine, then asked to talk to me.
"Paine and I will share one room and if it is ok with you, you and my brothers will share another. I will break the news to those two before bed. Let me know later if dad would be proud of me." Yuna was still grinning, and I already understood. I looked at her and said that he already was.
We ate dinner, and I passed notes to the boys to let them know that I would be the adult in charge tonight, and to not say anything. When it was almost time to head to bed, Yuna stood up.
"So Paine and I will share a room, while Mom and my brothers will share another. The lovers will share their honeymoon in the final room. Everyone have a good night!" She stated, and damn was I sure Braska would have almost died of laughter if he had been there. We all knew what to do. While those two were shocked, we all ran to our rooms and locked the doors. We settled in for the night, after putting Auron's stuff outside of the door.
I found out later that Rikku had found her stuff outside the other door. And in embarrassment, tried pounding on Yuna's and Paine's door, to no avail.
The next morning, Rikku and Auron were the last to join us at almost midday. Yuna was the first to notice them. And boy did they look tired! Although I almost sure I was the only one who could see what had happened last night. And it was just little things. Like the way Auron winked at her or the way Rikku blushed when they caught each other's eyes. After we ate and before we left the agency, I told Auron that he didn't have to watch over the boys anymore and he was free to live his life.
"I understand. But for now, I wish to stay around them for a little bit longer." He finally responded.
