A/N~ Another chapter, ya.

Dis Claim ER~ FINAL FANTASY X does not, and will never, belong to either the one called Zoheret or the one named Dove

~Zoheret and Dove~

Kimahri was gazing out into the snow. Something was telling him that he should, that he needed, to watch the pass...something was coming.
Minutes ticked by, which bled into an hour, and an hour turned into three. But at the last moment, when he was just about to turn around and head back to the main camp, he noticed something yellow.
Jumping down the snow covered rocks, he kept his eyes fixed on the yellow spot, watching as it drew nearer. Soon he'd be able to determine if it was threat or friend.
But the sight he saw confused him. It was a young man, somehow a little familar, riding a chocobo, no, racing a chocobo straight at him. The man was obviously blinded by the falling snow, or maybe the exhaustion that he hid in his eyes.
Something was making him race forward...perhaps something was chasing him?
It was then that Kimahri noticed the slumped form that rode in front of him, blond hair sticking out of a blanket...
Rikku!
He left the rocks, bounding out towards the rider. Threat or not, he'd help Rikku...and kill the boy if he ended up to be an enemy.

There was snow and ice...swirling around him. He could no longer feel his fingers or his legs, but there was still that urge to keep going. Why? His whole body screamed out as he kept the bird racing forward, why?
He could no longer recall, his mind frozen numb from the atmosphere around him.
Where was he going? Where?
And then before him, out of the white, appeared a tall blue object...being...something...And just as he slumped off the bird, passing out from riding four days straight, the blue being reached him, and part of his mind was at ease.
He'd reached his goal...now if only he could remember it...
Blackness...

She lifted the hood of her cloak over her head, covering her shoulder length brown hair. Idily, her mind marked on how long it had grown, how things had changed.
She stepped out of the doorway, into the darkness of the empty room; her room.
The snake around her kneck hissed slightly, but Yuna ignored it. After a few days of having the thing around her kneck she'd learned to ignore it...but not to forget it.
She shivered as she stopped in the center of the room, whatever power she'd gained from becoming a part of the Fayth of the Serpent, told her the dimensions of the pitch black room...and that someone was standing in the left corner, one who hadn't been there before.
"Hello Yuna," it muttered, revealing itself to be Alex, and it stepped forward.
Yuna drew a breath, trying to steady herself. What did it want?
"What," she struggled to force herself to speak. "What do you want?"
The figure didn't laugh, or smirk, or do anything right away. Alex just stood there, unmoving, and then...
"What I've always wanted, you stupid fo-" Alex began, its tone icy, but then caught itself," I want information."
Yuna gazed at where Alex must be standing, not answering. Alex wanted to know...what exactly? Why she had visions of the dead?
"Can the dead come back?" Alex asked suddenly.
"B-back?" Yuna replied, caught off guard, but then remembered she was a Keeper of the Fayth of...
What was happening to her?
With a small shock she realized slowly, inevitably, she was being currupted and becoming a true member of this...cult...
"Go away," she hissed at Alex, "Go away!"
Her eyes glowed red, and her mind didn't register that Alex actually left, actually took an order from her...
Yuna blinked, and slumped to the floor...the dead filling her minds eye.

He opened his eyes groggily, and slowly sat up.
"Sword?" he muttered to himself, looking around wildly, where was it?
It was his only link to his...no mustn't think about it...Rikku!
The past caught up to him finally, a bubble of memories bursting in his mind, and he finally realized he was in a strange tent-like building...without his sword.
Zeke got to his feet, glancing around wildly.
What to do?

A/N~ Yep. Short... but review anyway!
