Between Guardian and Thief~Chapter 2
Disclaimer:: Don't own anything. A/N:: This chapter is a little bit more insane than the last one just so yanno. Thank you to EVERYONE that reviewed. I love you all!!
Rikku suddenly jumped preparing to fight. The sudden shock immediately made her spring to her feet ready to take on any creature that dared hurt her friends. Lulu, Kimahri, Auron, Wakka and...Tidus...Yuna.
"What are you doing?" Tidus asked still sitting by the fire like nothing had happened.
"What?? I heard something though!" she snapped. Tidus smiled childishly obviously holding back fits of laughter pointing towards Kimahri. She fell down. 'Kimahri snores like THAT?'
"You crack me up." Tidus grinned. "Get some sleep. We have a long day tomorrow." Rikku nodded before finally being able to fall back asleep. Peacefully this time. And the thought of Tidus flashed in her mind before she finally dreamed away.
[Next Morning]
"Looks like the sun is high up enough that we can swim!" Tidus pointed towards the sky.
"There's no sun here." Lulu remarked sarcastically. Tidus smiled weakly.
"I knew that." He said turning to Wakka and Rikku. "Should we get going?" Wakka nodded and Rikku just shrugged as Tidus was the first to jump.
"Maybe we should've asked your aeons to have checked the water? I don't trust it." Lulu asked Yuna.
"I'm sure it would be alright." Yuna smiled cheerfully.
And then like all of you Final Fantasy X players know, the giant fiend swims up on them and attacks them.
"Did you say something a minute ago?" Lulu asked.
"Said what?" Yuna had a gigantic cartoonish sweatdrop. They heard a loud slice from Tidus's sword and the creature cried out in agony.
"Oh my." Yuna gasped as blood seeped into the water. Rikku then threw a waterfall of grenades at the poor monster as the trio finally tried finding a door underwater within that few seconds of distractions.
After twenty minutes of Yuna, Lulu, Kimahri, and Auron standing up at the top, standing like idiots (joke, really) staring down into the water, Tidus, then Wakka, and lastly Rikku popped their heads above the dark water.
"Anything?" Yuna asked.
"Temple over towards the north. Only about 7 feet below." Tidus mentioned.
"Okay, then I'll head there now." Yuna mentioned.
[INSIDE THE HIDDEN BAAJ TEMPLE]
Wakka was the first to let a breath out of the water as he climbed on the steps heavily with the water weighing down on him easily. Rikku went up next and glanced back at the side of her eyes seeing Tidus help out Yuna.
'They're like two newly weds. Yeah, I don't love her, my ass. That was so love.' She frowned looking off.
"Here it is." Wakka exclaimed as two stone statues stood guard in front of a door.
"Uh...wow?" Yuna smiled weakly. "Could you open the doors?"
"Sure thing!" Wakka pushed the doors open as they walked into the small room. There were three statues. Three on one side, and three to the right. And in the center was obviously the chamber of the fayth.
'And then she treats us all like her servants,' Rikku studied one of the statues. By curiosity, she began poking the round orb the statue held. And like magic, it lit up to her touch.
"Whoa, what did you just do?" Tidus asked rushing over and inspecting the glowing orb. "Over here, Wakka, Yuna!" The two ran over as Rikku stepped out of the way. The trio gathered inspecting the thing.
'Did I just mention I don't belong here?' she frowned taking quiet steps quickly out of the temple ignoring whatever. 'Last night...was probably just a dream. Why would Tidus not ever love Yuna? Yeah. That's it. It must've been a dream.' She shook her head turning to her right and dipped into the icy, cold water.
She couldn't blame Tidus for loving Yuna first. It was her fault anyways for not being able to admit her feelings in the first place. But it probably wouldn't matter anyways. Because it would always be that important summoner in the end.
She swam back out in the cold dark sea, it wouldn't matter. Yuna has six guardians. One guardian gone wouldn't hurt the amount of guardians she had anyways. As she past swimming the doors that led into the temple, she let herself float up slowly towards the surface of the water.
Lulu, of course, was surprised that Rikku was the only one that made it back up.
"Rikku, what happened?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to come back up early. I feel..." she thought. "Sick." She lied. But then she sneezed beginning to catch a cold regardless of her lie, making her lie come true. 'Dammit, spoke too soon.'
"Okay, you better get some rest then," Lulu suggested looking over from the ledge.
[LATER]
"Where IS she?!" Tidus asked.
"She was here." Lulu pointed towards the futon that had no one in it right now. "She caught a cold and she had to get some rest." Tidus gave an annoyed sigh.
"How could you let her out of your sight??"
"Well I don't baby-sit grown up girls all day." She snapped at him walking off. He sighed kicking against the dirt on the ground.
Okay, so it was kind of weird he turned around and all the sudden Rikku disappeared. It was like one of those horror movies when he saw it back at Zanarkand where these groups of people are in a place, and then they get eliminated one by one until the main character and his 'love' are the only ones left and have escaped. Something like that.
But what could he have done that made her just...go off like that?
Surely he couldn't have done anything that made her mad. 'I mean, last night we had a good conversation. I knew there was something she was acting weird about when we were diving to check on any openings.' Tidus thought. 'But I don't get it!! Girls are so confusing!!!!' He stomped his foot over and over again.
"What are you doing?" Yuna looked from the entrance. "You look like you're in pain."
"Hah? Me?" he looked around and pointed to himself. "Of course not!" he grinned. Then that thought hit him as well. 'That's probably why. The way I was acting to Yuna...those bad habits I have still since I got sucked in that warp hole from Zanarkand.'
After all, he was one of those sports celebrities at that time. A hot, young, all-star blitzball player, head of the Zanarkand Abes. Of course it'd be natural he'd go around flirting.
"What's wrong?" Yuna asked.
"Heh?" he pointed to himself again. "Why'd you ask?"
"You're off again thinking about something...I think." She guessed.
"Yeah, my head's up there yanno," he pointed upwards. "Where's Rikku? Have you seen her?"
"That's what I was going to ask you." Yuna replied. "Lulu said she got a cold and then went to get some rest and."
"She isn't here." They both said at the same time.
"Odd." Yuna thought. "I wonder if she's still upset over the loss of her home."
"Perhaps?" Tidus shrugged. He needed to find Rikku. Talk to her. He couldn't possibly go any further without those sparkling green eyes and her positive, cheerful personality. The way she'd always defend for everyone, how she was optimistic, how she was the only one out of the Al Bheds that were merciful enough to give him some food and water. The first here in this strange world to be able to save him from that fiend.
'Why the heck am I thinking about her so much??'
And then when he saw some Al Bheds, he thought she would be with them. He would find her, thank her, and...? What else would he have done after that as well? She was fluent with the Al Bhed language as well, how they discussed plans together on how to help Yuna. There was not a moment between them that he could not like.
Tidus began to blush, a few shades of red. Yuna who was just standing there confused not knowing what he was doing (which was probably making gestures out of nowhere and walking in circles thinking) and what was on his mind. It's a rather odd sight if you were Yuna standing there watching him fold his arms looking up in the sky, then looking on the ground, walked in a few circles, and then tapped his head with his finger thinking some more. Very strange indeed.
And then he gasped which caught Yuna's attention.
'Could I...love Rikku?!'
A/N:: This turned out to be a more humorous chapter than I thought. I made Tidus sound kind of like Hideki from Chobits XD;;. The next chapter may take more time though...depending on how much homework I'm sinking in coz I have lyk 3 tests coming up on Friday and Monday ::cries::. But review! And maybe that'll motivate me enough D.
