(Fearless)
[A/N: Oo! An unexpected FFX fic! While I was boredly wandering around my room, I decided that I should write a fic. Some fic. Any fic. And I figured 'cause I've been promising this for a while now, I'd might as well get it started. So now, none of the characters in this story belong to me. I wish they did, though. The dialogue of some of the characters may be changed, but it's nothing AU. This will follow the same general plot and line of events-- starting at everyone's favorite place.. the inn at the Thunder Plains. -- PAIRING: Aurikku. You don't need to read this if you don't approve of the pairing. Otherwise, enjoy! ]

Chapter 1
"Ugh."
Stifled screams sounded throughout the agency each time a flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder erupted. Rikku cowered in a corner of the room, shivering and shielding her eyes. An annoyed Auron rolled his eyes as the girl.
"How long are you going to stay like that?" he asked in a peeved tone.
Rikku let out a quiet whimper, and Lulu stepped forward, letting out a dramatic sigh.
"Auron, give the girl a break," she scolded.
Auron let out a bit of a grunt before turning his back and walking toward the shopkeeper to busy himself in stocking up on items, whether he really needed them or not.
"W-why does he have to be such a--"
CRACK.
"EEE!"
Silence.
"-- meanie?" Rikku finished.
Lulu let out a small laugh and shook her head.
"It's in his nature," she began, crouching down beside Rikku. "He's a stoic warrior, you see- he's just not used to.. fear.. I guess," she finished, her tone growing a little uncertain.
"No fear," Rikku whimpered out. "He's GOTTA be afraid of--"
CRACK.
"-- mm- something."
Lulu glanced back at the red-clad man who was giving a handful of gil to the shopkeeper.
"Well," she began somewhat melodramatically, "good luck finding out what it is."
CRACK.
Rikku let out a rather subdued whimper instead of a full shriek, but the others looked at her with concern, except Auron.
"Perhaps we should stay for the night," Yuna spoke up rather timidly from the corner. "I'm.. a bit tired."
There were nods of agreement throughout the room, with Rikku's being the most enthusiastic of them. With that, Yuna headed off into the corridor.
Rikku stood up slowly and cautiously, her green eyes searching the room quite frantically. She spun on her heel and took off after Yuna. However, she was stopped short when Auron grasped her wrist before she headed into the corridor.
"This storm never stops," he warned.
Almost as though it was on cue, a bright light flashed and a thunder roll followed. Rikku let out a yelp and snapped her eyes shut. After a few seconds of silence, she opened her eyes slowly and looked back at the man.
"I know," she said nervously, "but just give me this night. So I can.. prepare. I'm new at this stuff, remember?"
Auron let out a quiet sigh, but gave an almost forced nod at the girl. Still, Rikku could see the faintest trace of a smile on his face.
So much for the stoic warrior.
