Chapter 4
Disclaimer: All chars are square prop.
Sorry for not updating.. I have to study. It's my first time ever taking midterms.. And I'm really scared! I'll try to update as much as possible.
Rikku was being carried by Tidus. The boy had made sure she was perfectly comfortable. She was nice and warm, snuggled up against his chest.
"You're really sweet." Rikku said to him, smiling.
Tidus looked over at the girl and smiled slightly "Awwwwwww. You're making me blush Rikku!" That grin of his. Rikku loved it. She loved everything about him.
Why was she thinking this?
It was no time at all before they were near Guadosalam. It was easy to tell because the fiends began to thin out. However, Tidus fell behind because of the load in his arms. Rikku wasn't heavy, but still he had been carrying her for a while.
"Oh... we're falling behind... Sorry." Rikku apologized, looking innocent.
"Hey. its not your fault!" Tidus said
Wakka stopped walking and turned around. He had a large goofy grin painted on his face.
" 'Ey lovebirds! Move it, ya?"
L-l-lovebirds?!
"Wakka!" Tidus yelled to his friend. Rikku knew her own cheeks were bright red, and she looked up to Tidus' face and saw his were too.
Oooooo maybe he likes me?
Tidus shook his head. Then he got an idea.
"Hold on a sec Rikku..." Tidus put her down gently.
He shuffled through his pack and found a blitzball. Grinning, he twirled it on his finger. When Wakka turned around, Tidus chucked the ball at him. It hit him right in the back of his head.
"Ow?!"
Rikku thought this was hilarious and began to laugh hysterically. Then Tidus joined in. The group turned around and Rikku saw bewildered looks on their faces.
" That hurt, ya!"
They only laughed harder. Then, with a mischievous grin, Wakka chucked the ball back at Tidus. Tidus however, saw it coming and dodged it. It bounced off a nearby tree and nearly hit Wakka again.
By now the rest of the party saw their antics and were laughing. Even the stoic Auron had joined in.
"It's not funny, ya!" That only made them laugh harder.
"Ahhh." Wakka said and threw his hands up in the air.
Soon the laughter died down and they reached Guadosalam.
Tidus had grown tired of holding Rikku, and by the time they were in Guadosalam, she was leaning on Tidus and hopping on her good leg.
Lulu explained how most Summoners just pass through Guadosalam, because there is no temple.
Soon an old Guado came to greet them.
"Ah lady summoner, Maester Seymour requests your presence." The guado moved his hand to take hers.
Wakka thinking quickly, intervened.
"Hey!"
"Oh! I'm terribly sorry. My name is Tromell Guado."
~*~*~
Seymour had come out after Tromell's ....uh well maybe he just worshipped the guy. Tromell had talked about Seymour like he was a god or something.
Seymour looked right at Rikku. She felt a chill run through her body. Something just wasn't right with that guy. Something about him. It was just creepy. Rikku could feel some presence around him that wasn't right.
"Ah, Lady Yuna. one of your guardians is injured. Please allow me to heal her."
Ewwww. I don't want him near me!
"That would be nice, yes, but she was injured by a hog.. So." Yuna began.
Seymour gave one of his creepy laughs
"Yes, but this potion that we guado brew, can heal anything!"
What a narcissistic...
"I guess that would be fine.."
Ummm don't I get a say in this...?
Seymour took a potion and went near Rikku. She was sitting on a chair near the buffet table, mainly to relieve Tidus of his duties. However, the boy was standing beside her.
Tidus eyed Seymour suspiciously as he unwrapped Rikku's wound. Rikku cringed as she saw the damage done to her leg. It was gross. However, Rikku was more grossed out at the fact that Seymour was touching her.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwww
He poured the potion on her leg and the wound magically closed up!
It's all better!
Tidus raised an eyebrow. The blitzer knew something wasn't right with that guy.
Rikku jumped out of her chair. She walked around to test her leg. It was fine.
"All better! Thanks!" Rikku said in a cheery tone that masked her true feelings for the guado.
"You're very welcome Lady...."
"Rikku!"
~*~*~*~*~*
"Didn't Seymour creep you out?" Yuna giggled.
They were trying to make her feel better still. It wasn't working. Rikku still couldn't get over her loss.
That pilgrimage had changed them all. Yuna had totally changed her look. She now wore a white blouse, which tied up in the middle. Lulu often told her that she was going to fall out of it. She wore very short shorts, and a little half-skirt thing. (Think Yuna's look from FFX-2)
Wakka was quieter than normal. He had confided in Lulu that he felt as if he had lost another brother. During the course of the pilgrimage, Tidus and Wakka had grown as close as brothers, often joking with each and practicing blitzball.
Lulu seemed to be the same, but she hardly slept. She often sat awake wondering about Tidus and Sir Auron.
Kimarhi had become more open and now was married to a wonderful Ronso woman, and was on his way to starting a family. Rikku thought perhaps with little fuzzy Ronso babies, she would feel a lot better.
Rikku... Well we all knew how Rikku had changed.
Lulu had gone before. Rikku was making her depressed. Chappu kept crossing her mind.. the feelings she had felt for him, she felt for someone else... Wakka...
Lulu was flipping through the books of spells and things on Spira she had, trying to get Wakka, Chappu, and Rikku out of her mind. Suddenly she found it. The book quivered in her hands as she ran out the door to Rikku. This book. maybe it could solve all her problems!
~*~*~*~
Tidus watched from the farplane. He, like Rikku, was deeply depressed from being separated from his beloved. How long had it been? He lost track of time.
"Hey boy, stop moping around!" Jecht yelled to his son.
Jecht and Tidus had reconciled now. Also Jecht's dream had come true, when Tidus played in one of the leagues in the farplane. He had been the star player. Jecht broke into tears when he saw his boy do the Jecht shot.
"Leave me alone.. " Tidus mumbled
"Please Tidus, we're only worried about you." His mother said
"Fine.."
His mother sat beside him. Even though she hadn't seen him since he was seven, Anita's motherly instincts had kicked in the moment she saw her son.
"Talk to me ok?"
"Fine..."
"No mushy stuff!"
~*~*~
"Zanarkand."
It was his Zanarkand. He could see the restaurant he liked to eat at. The store where Auron had bought him his blitzing equipment, the old stadium where he had played as a kid. It was all there.
Seymour was showing them his home.
While the creep was blabbing, Tidus couldn't help but look at Rikku.
Tidus admired her in every way, and he felt close to her because she liked technology. None of this crap that it was evil. Wakka was a great friend, but they way he was talking about how machines are evil and stuff, it just annoyed Tidus.
He wondered why the Al Bhed eyes were that way. Green with a swirl in the middle. He thought it made Rikku beautiful. Not that she needed those eyes to be beautiful, still everything about her. Her blond hair.. Golden like his...
Uh. wait why was he thinking these things?
Sure.. Rikku was his friend and all, but why did he think about her so much?
Ugh. This was really confusing. Tidus' whole life had been confusing for about 4 years.
Tidus made a mental note to talk to Auron later about this.
Now Seymour was showing them Yunalesca and her husband Zaon. Then he babbled on some more.
Does that guy ever shut up?
Seymour leaned over and whispered something in Yuna's ear. Her cheeks turned bright red and she ran over to the tables and gulped down a glass of water.
"Wow your cheeks are bright red!" Rikku exclaimed
Weird. I was going to say that..
"He asked me to marry him."
Tidus sighed at that memory. It was then; he really felt that he had been falling in love with Rikku.
"Hey boy. you ok?"
So. Jecht did care about him. a little..
Tidus felt a tears begin to form in his eyes. Thinking of his friends and Rikku. he just couldn't help it. For most of the time he'd been on the farplane, he'd held back tears in fear that Jecht would make fun of him. Sure, they had made up, but still.
Now, he didn't care.
"Hey boy, what's wrong?"
Tidus simply looked away. He was waiting for Jecht to call him a crybaby.
"It's her isn't it?"
Tidus nodded
