Just to Survive
Mikoto glared her own set of daggers at the little tombstones on the ground. She had never experienced death before now. It did quite seem real to her, it was as if those mages, Kuja, even Garland were still living around her.
She was frustrated with Kuja, she couldn't tell if he was still alive or dead. Where he had gone off to after she left him at the tree. Her teeth grinded, and she didn't even move as someone called out her name.
Mr.288 called out again, taking another step closer to the silent Mikoto. This time she heard, and spun on him looking more or less sinister. "What!?" She snapped.
He went on unflinching to her mood, he had never seen her quite this angry, but he hadn't known her that long either. "Vivi is here." He remarked before leaving her.
Mikoto took her path after him, the little mage was important. To just about all of these things that where happening in the aftermath. He alone out of all the mages was proving to be stable. The amount of magic a mage uses the quicker they get to stopping. However Vivi, who used the most powerful of spells, did not stop. He still seem like the little mage who had come here before the battle. She regretted to think that he might have to be the last of his kind.
"Mi-ikoto?" A little voice suddenly queried at her. She looked down to see none other than the cute mage Vivi. "Some... Something happen?"
She was half tempted to roll her eyes and say no, however she held her tongue and shook her head.
"Oh... ok." He responded, "Can I go see Zidane then?"
"Of course." Answer Mr. 288 before Mikoto could get one word in other wise. She felt her eye twitch, almost hatefully at the way the young mage was lead off to see her brother. Damit! Zidane's going to give him hell! And what do they expect of me?!
She rolled each of her shoulders back and went to the small hut which was considered hers. She grabbed and pair of gloves with Adamantine laced into them. A small gift from Garland on the day of her awaking. Such items had almost no value on Terra, where the only ones to want them were gone. She smiled however, thinking to her self that she was lucky to have carried such things with her almost in constant so as not to be hurt by the monsters.
Zidane fallen asleep again, he was surprised to see only a top of a hat and a hand poking him awake instead of the usual mage. Short guy, didn't know they made them that small.... Wait a sec!
So it was for the third time in only a few days he hit his head on the upper bunk.
"You ok?!" Vivi shouted.
"Gah.... Yeah I'm fine...." he trailed off rubbing his head and wondering why he hadn't learned his lesson yet.
The little mage's hat bobbed, and then moved back into a chair which was almost to high for him. "That's good."
"Hey Vivi, Mikoto told me..."
The mage interrupted, it seemed like he was prepared for this question well. "After Mikoto found you I was here, she asked me to go tell people. So I took off and went to Lindblum, the first people I met was your gang, Tantalus. I talked to... Um... Baku for a while and he asked me if that was a good idea. Cause you see everyone is really busy rebuilding right now. Eiko is staying with Cid, and Freya is gone with Fratly trying to round up all of the people they can to help restore Burmecia. Amarant is off some where, he just kind of left after we got back... That one girl Lain or something left with him. Quina is cooking in the castle now, and I don't think he/she really noticed anything. Steiner is kind happy your gone, but he's really busy with Beatrix on keeping the monsters down and the country running. Then Dagger, she's the queen you know. She has lots of paper work and things like that. She couldn't come and even say hi to me for a few hours.... But I think that they are trying to keep her locked up..."
"Who is?" Zidane said.
"Well everyone, she's even doing it to herself. She doesn't want to think about anything right now. Tot thinks it better to keep her that way till everything goes back to normal. So Baku asked me if I could keep you a secret, till things went over. He's going to come visit you some time too, but even they are really busy." Vivi shrugged his little shoulders, and looked at Zidane to see what he'd do.
Zidane didn't do much, he seem slightly surprised to find that everyone had moved on so quickly. Or at least it seemed quick, he didn't know how long it had been since the fight... "Vivi how long has it been, since the Iifa Tree?"
"You mean the big fight?" He asked, then answered. "About... two weeks."
"Only that? And they have forgotten about me?" He asked sound almost frightened.
"They haven't forgotten, just Dagger asked us all to not worry about you till you got back. So they all did." He moved his hat around on his head, like he always did when he was nervous or upset.
"Oh." The words just barely parted with his lips.
"It's going to be okay Zidane!" Vivi said before rushing out of the room. Leaving Zidane alone with his own thoughts.
Freya smiled as she watched the small family of Burmecian's rebuild their old home. It helped her heart along. She was sadder now than she had ever felt before. It was strange, she felt sad, when all these good things had been going on. She was seeing Burmecia rebuilt, she was back with Fratly...
Deep down inside she was sure that she was travel sick, or some such.
She missed being around the others, having Vivi trip and fix his hat. Amarant pushing her lightly out of his way, and the strange disputes that Eiko would have with him. She missed taking with Dagger, or eating the food Quina made them.
Most of all she missed Zidane. The way he would laugh, and chatter on. Set them up for battle and beam with pride when it all turned out well. She missed his cocky attitude, and the off hand way he talked to everyone.
She, more than anything, wanted to speak with them again. She had gotten a letter from Dagger, not more than a week ago. It didn't fill the gap they shared however.
Her tail flopped around behind her restlessly. From a little ways away Fratly could see how unhappy she was. Thus he wondered to himself... What makes her so sad, that she must tire over all the happiness about her.
It's a hard thing to do, to judge someone who has known you to the deepest point. To think and wonder who you were, and what has made you who you are today. Freya must carry on her all the burdens of our past alone. I must carry nothing, only try to find some way of loving her. However I do not see her in the same light as I must have once.
Someday he would go off again, travel in the world, and not return to her. He did not wish to be around her so, it hurt him in some ways. As it also hurt her. He could not love this person, who had shared such a life with him. It was evil, and bittering to his soul that he must leave her, however to be around her was far to much of an agony for him.
He turned around and headed back to the market thinking that he would join her latter. Or, he might not join her at all today. It might be better if he slowly edged away from her, it might be easier on her.
