~*^-^*~

She moaned. Where was she? Who was she? The last thing the girl could remember was a flash of pain. And then…and then, what? She kept her eyes closed tightly. She felt…funny. She heard the rustling of fabric to her side and turned her head. Big mistake. She whimpered as she felt a sharp pain shoot up the right side of her head.

"Rikku?"

She heard a soft voice speak up. Slowly, she opened her eyes. A young woman with brown hair sat in front of her.

"Who…are you?"

She asked uncertainly, sitting up in the bed. She watched the other girls' eyes widen in shock. It was then she noticed that one eye was blue and one was green.

"Rikku? It's me, Yuna."

"Then, am I…Rikku?"

"Oh God."

Yuna stood abruptly, her hand shaking. Rikku didn't remember anything. Rikku watched as Yuna paced, slightly confused by the action.

"Yuna?"

Rikku shifted so she was kneeling on the bed. She leaned over, ignoring her injuries, and looked closely at the young summoner.

"Hey, are you…okay?"

"I'll be right back."

Yuna said softly before hurrying out of the room. Rikku blinked and sat back. What had just happened?

~*^-^*~

Yuna fought back tears as she hurried down the hallway. Not noticing where she was going, she ran head on into someone.

"Oh, I'm so sorry…Tidus!?"

Yuna looked up at the man who was currently rubbing his head. He looked up and grinned.

"Oh, hey Yuna. I was just coming to see how Rikku was."

Yuna frowned and looked at the floorboards.

"Yuna? You okay?"

Tidus placed an arm on her shoulder. She sniffled and shook her head. How could she be okay?

"Rikku…she…"

"She what?"

"She doesn't know who I am! She doesn't even know who she is!"

Tidus stared at Yuna in silent shock. Slowly, he took her arm and led her away. She looked him in the eye, and then nodded in silent agreement. They had to tell Auron.

~*^-^*~

Rikku stared idly at the white ceiling. The throbbing in her head had dulled slightly, but no sparks of memories came to her. She sighed and rolled on her side, her back facing the door.

"What's wrong with me? Why can't I remember?"

She whispered to herself and traced small circles on the comforter. So wrapped up in her own thoughts, she didn't realize the door had opened behind her.

~*^-^*~

Auron sat in a dark corner of the Inn, his sake bottle gripped firmly in his hand. He tipped his head back and took a swig, then swished it around his mouth before swallowing. Groaning, he closed his eye and leaned his head back against the cool wall. He had to do something to keep his mind away from her.

Was he feeling guilty? Maybe a little, not that he'd ever admit it. He heard the footsteps even before they reached him. He kept his eye shut, waiting for them to come to a halt before him.

"Sir Auron?"

He opened his eye and gazed up at Yuna and Tidus. The young summoner looked worried, he noticed. Not that she shouldn't be, knowing her cousin had been hit. He said nothing, but nodded his head in silent acknowledgement. She hesitated before speaking.

"Rikku…she…woke up."

"And that's bad?"

He raised an eyebrow. He couldn't see why she was telling him this. Tidus stepped forward and slipped his hand in hers', silently encouraging her.

"She doesn't remember anything."

"About being struck?"

Auron couldn't see why she wasn't coming right out and saying the truth.

"No, I mean…everything. She didn't even know her name was Rikku. She didn't know…who I was."

Yuna bowed her head, her bangs covering her eyes. Tidus wrapped an arm around her shoulder and murmured something in her ear.

Since they were busy, they didn't see that Auron had tensed. He said nothing and stood, brushing past the couple. He heard Tidus call out to him but ignored it. He passed Lulu, Wakka, and Kimahri, all of who gave him curious glances. He ignored them too and continued forward. He stopped in front of a door. Without knocking, he opened it.

AN: ::yawn:: It's late. Not that I'll actually go to bed. I'll probably end up playing Final Fantasy…either VII or X….haven't decided yet ^-^ I'd play VIII but my disc is scratched ant it freezes _ ::coughs:: Anyway, how was it? '…^-^' I took your idea, as you can see, and I give full credit to you. I was originally just going to have her blind, but I'm writing up another story where she goes blind. (No, she does not get struck by lightning again ^-^;;)

Read and Review Please! And then I promise I'll make the next chappy longer!
