Slight Warmth
The Digital One
I don't have really a long A/N like I have for my other stories, except that FFX-2 looks. err. o_O I haven't seen anything with Kimahri, Tidus, and Auron in it, but I've seen a LOT of close-ups of Yuna. O_O She looks like she's posing as Tifa, except her hair is shorter, and instead of a skirt, she just walks around violating dress code in her underwear. And she has a gun and a tattoo. Well, I still don't like her anyway, sluts just aren't characters I like ^^ I /think/ I've seen a shadow of Rikku, her attire seems the same. but what the hell is with Yuna? Hopefully Tidus dumps her and goes for Rikku for the sudden change ^0^ . Actually, that gave me an idea!!!!!!! Lulu is now going to be a center character.
Song dedication? Since I'm more sane today, this will be dedicated to Puddle of Mudd's "She hates Me" ^_^ The second chapter would be dedicated to Smash Mouth's "All Star," since I entirely forgot about that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~beginning
After beating Yunalesca, Auron informed the other six that there were celestial weapons that are stronger than the standard one, and how he wanted a Masamune so badly. Thus, they're now searching for the weapons. Auron, Yuna. And Kimahri got theirs, but then they need to find two seals to unlock the weapons' true power. Rikku didn't really care much, and spent time in the main airship room where Kimahri stared at cloud formations, and Auron swung his Masamune at the air (it still didn't have seals). Rikku kind of found it ironically sickening that the others were running their asses everywhere, while Auron stayed there. And they didn't mind. Rikku soon developed a feeling of others being dumber and inferior to her.
Rikku sat on a plastic, orange cushion on the airship main room. Kimahri was lying on the cot, looking out the window, constantly muttering things like "Kimahri sees bird," "Cloud big!" Even though Kimahri was Rikku's best friend in the small group, she really didn't feel like her social self and crossed her arms while giving evil eyes to both of the men. Auron was swinging his Masamune, as if there was a hornet he wanted to kill. Rikku soon got disgruntled by all of this and walked into the command room. Cid was sitting on his chair, looking into space. He somehow noticed her without looking up.
"Hey Rikku," Cid said. Rikku waved.
Cid wasn't looking at her. Rikku rolled her eyes.
"Hi."
Silence.
". Where are we?"
"Malacania."
"Oh."
"What are they doing in Malacania?" Rikku asked. Cid finally looked up into his daughter's face.
"Catchin' stuff."
"Catching what?"
Cid turned his head so his tattoo was clearly visible. Silence. Finally, he spoke.
"Butterflies," Cid said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"Butterflies?" Rikku wondered if those blowhards were catching butterflies to enlighten themselves somehow, or for another dumb weapon. Rikku studied Cid hard. Cid finally looked up into Rikku's eyes.
"Don't ask me! Go down 'ere and ask the kid."
Rikku knew Cid meant Tidus when he said kid. Why would he call a paranoid stranger a 'kid' when he already has two children of his own? Rikku suddenly looked down on Cid.
"Fine, Pops, see you later. It's so dumb staying here with people that don't talk, anyway," Rikku was about to walk to the save point when the four others appeared. Wakka held out a small pendant that was purple with a complicated design.
"Saturn Sigil, ya!" Wakka said, as if this was his weapon. Tidus cheered, Yuna smiled and bowed, and Lulu just sighed and walked into the main room.
". Wow!" she said to lower down the enthusiasm. Wakka ignored her and walked toward Kimahri. Kimahri looked slightly dazed, and held out his lance. Auron then put down his Masamune.
"Have you tried to get my sigil?" Auron asked in a gruff, oily voice.
"No," Lulu said. She sat down on the orange cushion Rikku sat on earlier. "I wanna go somewhere warmer if we're going to get any more of these. weapons."
"Agreed," Cid said, walking into the main room. "Anything in Bikanel?"
"The Godhand's sigil," Auron said in a manner as if he memorized it. "For Rikku." He added as an afterthought.
"Forget it, I don't need some crappy weapon," she said quickly. Auron fixed a stare at her.
"These are possibly the strongest weapons EVER!" Tidus said, waving his hands in the air. "I'd want one!"
Rikku looked into his bright eyes, and saw enthusiasm glinting in them. Rikku studied his tanned facial features for a couple moments, and managed to squeak an "Okay."
Tidus smiled and gave Rikku a thumbs up. Rikku smiled instantly, and her heart somewhat fluttered. She knew that falling for Tidus was foolish, for Tidus already had a love interest, but she couldn't help adoring his muscular figure. Rikku then turned into her cold self, ashamed of her thoughts as if others could eavesdrop on them.
"C'mon, we have to... catch Cactuars. erm, ya. whatever," Wakka scratched his forehead as he read from a piece of paper Auron gave him earlier.
"A cactuar? Then forget it!" Rikku said, staring at the wall. "You can leave me sitting here like you do with Auron."
"Stop being such an Al Bhed," Wakka said, touching Rikku's shoulder lightly. She jerked back. Cid stared oddly at Wakka, which made Wakka laugh nervously.
"Rikku want to be like Lulu, we love Rikku way is. Rikku acting like cold person Lulu," Kimahri said, chuckling.
"I guess you'll have to miss that immature version of myself, then," she said, eyeing Kimahri coldly. Kimahri refused to catch her eye. Yuna then appeared after the awkward silence, and bowed.
"Er, Guardians?" she said softly, and she paused like she always does when she speaks, though they already had her attention. "We're going now. okay? Eh, let's go."
The others walked out of the main room toward the command room, where Cid transported them all down to the oasis of Bikanel. The sun, beating down on them, glistened in the shallow pool of water. Auron dipped his Masamune into the pool, making the ripples reflect on the sunlight. Yuna suddenly cleared her throat quietly.
"Okay, let's make groups!" Yuna said in a whiny sort of voice, which was her unique way of yelling. "I want to be with Ti-"
"I'm with Tidus," Lulu said quickly. Yuna looked slightly taken aback and them bowed.
"Y-you need someone ELSE in your group, Lulu." Yuna said as Tidus walked over to Lulu.
"You can create your own group of three," Rikku said to save Lulu.
"No, it's okay Rikku; I want you to join us to hunt for Cactuars," Lulu smiled. Rikku widened her eyes.
"Okay!" she said eagerly, and ran next to Tidus. Yuna stared at Tidus helplessly.
"Kimahri, be in my group. Auron you stick with Wakka."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~time split Since it seemed very obvious to Lulu's little group that Yuna wanted to be in her own group with Tidus, to do who knows what (make out in an antlion pit?), she assigned Lulu's group to be inside the storm to search for Cactuars. It was really hard to imagine Yuna acting in retaliation, but she was still human, and love was still love. Why did Lulu want to get something Yuna wanted, anyway, when they were virtually sisters? For love? Rikku gulped and envisioned Lulu wanting Tidus too.
The storm finally moved west of where they were standing. Still no cactuars. Tidus then sighed.
"What do cactuars look like anyway?" he asked, walking in circles. Lulu sighed, and held out her cactuar doll. Tidus looked mildly surprised.
"That's a . cactuar?" Tidus said. Lulu nodded, rolling her eyes. "Oh. so then, there's one!" Tidus pointed into the storm, where they saw Auron (Wakka no where in sight), attempting to slice the cactuar in two with his normal katana he uses, his Murasame laying in the sand. "Damn those things are fast!"
"Do you think cactuar catching to get a strong weapon is meant to be easy?" Lulu said. She raised her arm, and magic came out of her fingertips.
"Waterga!" Lulu shouted. Auron was doused, covered in mud, coughing and spluttering, with the cactuar lying prone, a blue sphere next to him. Lulu walked over to Auron in her normal fashion and picked up the slippery orb.
"I'll be taking this, if you please." Lulu covered her eyes with her sleeve, and gripped the sphere tightly. Auron took off his glasses and wiped them dry on his coat.
"Send it to the stone. I think I need to dry myself up; I'll go up to the airship." Auron said, still coughing. Rikku scoffed.
"Yea, Auron the great guardian! You're verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry dependable! Go ahead and go, you old geezer! Good riddance!" Auron then turned his back and looked at Rikku hard. Rikku death gazed Auron and then turned to Tidus, who was staring at her. He quickly turned his head toward Lulu, refusing to catch her eye. Rikku felt rather hurt by his gaze, and looked at Auron's footprints.
"Am I weird?" Rikku finally asked the back of Tidus' head. Tidus showed no motion.
"You're not acting like yourself."
Lulu returned from inserting the sphere into the stone, She somewhat overheard the two, and managed to smile. "I like your new attitude, being aggressive and not vulnerable. Keep it up."
Rikku shifted her eyes again. This subject wasn't really anything she'd imagine she'd be in. ". Thank you Lulu."
There was then an awkward silence between them.
". Let's go find cactu-"
"Wait, what do you two think of Yuna?" Tidus suddenly asked. She stared at the two girls, sweat dripping from his furrowed brow. Both of them looked simultaneously at each other.
"She's like my sister. I love her," Lulu said curtly. Tidus then focused his gaze on Rikku. Something she privately wanted him to do forever. She kind of dazed off of that thought of Tidus' eyes on her.
"I think she's stupid," Rikku said drunkly, thinking about her obscured dream. Tidus blinked, and then nodded.
"Why? Are you having a relationship with her?" Lulu asked suspiciously, though she knew the truth (just to tell you: Tidus and Rikku don't know Lulu knows. both were asleep, remember?). Rikku suddenly thought of the Malacania Lake scene, and lowered her head.
"Um, no. As in love? No. Nope, not me, I'd never love HER. Hoi hoi. Ummm.why are you staring at me!!!?" Tidus said immediately. Lulu raised her brow in suspicion. Rikku balled her fists and clenched her teeth, and tried her best to keep her emotions to herself. Both stared at her. ".What's wrong Rikku?"
"Go ahead and talk about something that burn a hole in your heart. Knowing Yuna, she'll do anything to kill Sin, including killing herself," Rikku muttered. She somehow wanted to convince Tidus to fall out of love with Yuna, even though she very well knew was being selfish. It didn't seem to work anyway.
"Since when did I say I was in love with Yuna?" Tidus had a mock face contorted with shock, as he spread out his arms in question. Rikku bit her lip.
"Isn't it kinda OBVIOUS? The way you two were in your 'Tidus and Yuna' land, running around and acting all mushy? I'm an .expert at this, and I'm pretty sure everyone else in our group knows you're in love, so stop trying to deny it."
"She's right. You should applaud her for her accurate hypothesis," Lulu said, nodding.
"But-"
"You two can talk about this useless crap. I'm going to hunt for cactuars; this is my weapon anyway."
Thus, Rikku stormed off in a rather hidden manner, into the storm. They both watched her leave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~final notes on chapter 4 Wasn't THAT OOC? I'll shoot you if you don't think so. I made Rikku a depressed girl with various, sudden moodswings, and I made Auron some whiner. Yuna's "retaliation" is also odd ^^ This all hopefully will link to FFX-2. I also tried to make a cliffhanger, so what will happen next? *dum dum dum* Hint: Lulu will be a center character like Kimahri was ^_^
