Instead of searching for cactuars, Rikku directly returned to the airship, and, walked toward her room. She hugged her knees, and gazed at the quilt's colorful patterns, while thinking. What's the use of trying to win Tidus' affection? Rikku personally couldn't answer this question, but the figure of Tidus' muscular body and his determined smile flickered continuously in her mind. She thought of all the quality times she had spent with Tidus, and how she had many different chances she had to have Tidus as her own. Rikku's feelings toward her cousin soon turned negative, but no matter who she tried to put the blame on, she always returned to herself.
"I blew my last chance." Rikku's clear, green eyes watered. ". Damn it." a single tear rolled down her cheek and glistened in the machina-produced light. Her feelings then filled up with one single emotion, to try to cry out her inner-dilemma. Auron, who was standing outside of her compartment, noticed. As Rikku hugged her pillow and moaned into it, Auron cleared his throat, still standing outside of the small room. Rikku looked up, and saw Auron, staring at her through his shades. She quickly wiped her tears away.
"What?" she said in a clogged voice. Auron smiled behind his collar.
"What's wrong?" Auron said in a soft tone. Rikku desperately wanted to know how long he was standing outside of the door. She didn't respond.
"C'mon, tell me," he said in his usual, oily voice. Rikku hugged her pillow tighter and blinked several times to prevent herself from crying in front of Auron.
"I. I couldn't get my weapon," Rikku thought of the first thing that came to her mind, which wasn't really a lie, more of an excuse.
Auron leaned back on the wall, staring at her, as if he didn't believe her. Rikku, trying to act innocent widened her eyes and sneered.
"What?" she said in a high voice. Auron rolled his eyes, and walked toward the main room.
"Hmph," Rikku cocked her brow and shut her door with a single push of a button on the wall. She then rested her eyes on the thin, metal wall and listened to noises coming from outside, having lost her will to cry.
Footsteps. A low, husky voice murmured words Rikku couldn't decipher, though she could easily tell it was Lulu. Rikku slowly tiptoed to the edge of her door, and being the curious person she was, she listened.
". she seemed pretty upset, Tidus."
". You want me to do that?"
"Why not?"
". She seemed she didn't care."
". Tidus."
Rikku's contorted her face. What were they talking about? She quickly reached to the button, and opened the door, clearing her throat rather loudly.
Nothing happened. Rikku waved to show some interaction.
"Hi!"
". Hi, Rikku." Tidus swiftly looked at Lulu to see what the appropriate mood was. She had her usual stoic expression that Tidus couldn't duplicate. "What's up?"
"Nothing." Rikku glared at Tidus, giving him an "I know what you're hiding look." The befuddled expression on his face made Rikku giggle.
"What's so funny?" Tidus asked densely.
"Ummm." Rikku didn't know how to answer that, which left them in another awkward situation.
Auron finally showed savior faire. "C'mon, Tidus. we need to .um, find your missing. ring."
"Tidus has a ring?" Rikku blinked. Rikku was left without a reply as the three made haste to the save point.
~~~~~~~~~time split
Rikku was in oblivion in the main room, where she was sitting on the cushion, engrossed in an Al Bhed mechanics magazine. until she heard an excited squeak. As Rikku looked up from her magazine, she saw a cactuar waving its paws madly and running toward the hallway.
Before Rikku could show any reaction, Lulu, in her rare high pitched voice yelled: "Get it! GET IT!" Tidus came tearing toward the cactuar, as his footsteps and the excited yells from the cactuar echoed and faded away. Rikku looked at Lulu, who was panting.
"Umm. what was that?" Lulu looked up and studied Rikku's face, but didn't give an answer. Rikku sneered and then returned to her magazine.
~~~~~~~different pov
Tidus appeared next to the save point, holding a blue sphere.
"There! I did it! And I had to fight it alone!"
"You're doing it for a good cause." Auron said lamely. "Besides, you're building up your skills to fight Sin."
". Mreh." Tidus couldn't counter his comment. ".Where's Lulu?" he added as an afterthought.
"Getting the other cactuars."
"Why aren't you helping her?"
"She wanted me to stay with you, so you wouldn't be lost."
"More lame excuses!"
"Lame?"
Auron didn't respond, and leaned on a shaded rock. After Tidus realized Auron wouldn't answer, he leaned next to him, constantly averting his eyes to his direction.
After doing this in a timely pattern, Lulu appeared, clutching the Mercury sigil, her face contorted with anger. Her dress was ripped, and she sported several cuts.
"We BETTER have her damned weapon and crest," Lulu roared in a low, compressed voice.
"We do." Auron assured her, which didn't water down her bad mood.
"Gee, why the long face?" Tidus asked her. Lulu's lower lip slightly trembled.
". When I put a sphere in a cactuar stone." she paused, causing slight drama. ". a cactuar ambushed me!"
"."
". Well then! Let's go tell Cid we need to go to Malacania."
~~~~~~~final thoughts
This is just. a chapter (for lack of a better word). No romance at all, it just leads to something. er, romantic. I'd appreciate reviews, whether you think this story sucks or not.
