I'm back!  This is all coming together in one night.  It is currently 1:01 AM, and guess what.  I'm still hyper!  No disclaimer needed on chapter additions.  They're pointless, you all ready know I only have the pom-pom.  By the way, this chapter is a memory.  A lot of the chapters will be memories that Rikku thinks of on her new journey.  On with the story!

Returned Souls Chapter Two:

Pyreflies

            Rikku sighed as she pulled her newly discovered Godhand off her arm and set it to the ground.  With every weapon they found they got closer and closer to the end, closer to Yunie's death.  Why couldn't she think of anything!

            "If you think too hard you'll get early wrinkles."  The familiar voice startled her momentarily and she turned to face its owner.

            "Are you trying to tell me I'm going into to premature aging?"  Auron chuckled at her assumption.

            "No, I'm only saying you should give it a rest."

            "Hey, there aren't any snowballs here. What do you intend to hit me with this time?"

            "I don't intend to hit you with anything, and you started the snowball fight up on Gagazet."

            "Did not!"

            "You did too so don't deny it."

            "Well, you took my shirt."

            "You mean that skimpy tank top you didn't have any need of when I bought you that sweater?"

            "But still, it was my shirt!"

            "Hey, I gave it back when we got down the mountain, and besides, you seemed to like the consequences of our snow war."

            "Auron, if you're gonna take pride in something, at least take pride in the fact that I'm happy I have you, and that you just happen to be an excellent kisser."

            "Well, I'm glad you think so."  He turned and smiled genuinely at her.  "Only the best for you," he whispered as he placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her to him, pressing their lips together gently.  A moment later, Rikku pulled away.

            "Hmmm, it seems about time we had another little fight."  She dipped her hand into the Moonflow and threw the water at his face.  He spluttered for a moment before throwing a handful of water back.  Rikku kicked of her shoes and dove into the water splashing Auron with waves of her arms in the shallows.  He discarded his cloak and jumped in after her, hitting her with enough water to send her off her feet. [A/N think I used water enough there?]

            Rikku fell again and this time Auron landed on top of her.  He didn't hesitate to pull her lips to his before sliding his hand under 'that skimpy tank top' and deciding on a more intimate encounter.

For some reason, I just can't seem to make these chapters very long.  Oh well.  Okay, if you want to know why this isn't lemon, read SpazKit's Misted Emotions and apply her reason to me.  For those of you to lazy 1)I've never done one, 2) I have no real experience, and 3) I'm just scared, so I leave it up to your own twisted minds.

Later,

J Rikku  (:
