Another Chapter! More about Wakka's feelings... could this be the answer to Rikku's questions?

Once again ... Linkage and I don't own Square or it's games.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Rikku made her way back, she found an empty table and sat there. The seat was cold against her body, even through the layers of her dress. She unfolded a napkin and stood a knife up with her finger, her swirled green eyes glazed over with leftover tears.

Wakka re-entered the room as Lulu stood up to make an announcement.She tapped on her wine glass several times, which got everyone, including Rikku's, attention.

She turned her concentration from balancing the knife, to Lulu who began:

"I have a wonderful announcement! My new husband and I are expecting a baby…" Rikkus eyes flooded once again and she ran off, taking a back exit to the gardens. Wakka saw her, but felt it was best to just let her go for now. He knew there was nothing he could do and it wasn't the right time or the place.

------------------------

It was well into the evening and the moon shone down on the patio. The patio over-looked the ocean which sparkled in Rikkus already sparkling wet eyes. The moon cast off an eerie glow to everything. She sighed and rest her elbows on the rail and let the warm breeze dry her tears. She wondered if he was thinking about her. Was this just her emotions playing tricks on her? No, it was real... she loved him. How could she let anyone know now that him and Lulu were married? She could hardly breathe.. how could she face any of them?



Loud footsteps came up from behind her " What wrong? Kimarhi do not like this." the beast growled from behind her. Yes it was Kimarhi.. the "fuzz ball" as she would call him. His lion-like eyes focused on her as his braids blew in the wind.

Even Kimarhi was dressed for the wedding. A special purple Ronso suit made of silk and beads hanging from it with golden cuffs. Kimarhi stood guard outside even though he was invited. His blue and white fur moved with the wind like waves. Kimarhi was not one to talk about such things to another person but since Yuna and Rikku were related he had to care. Rikku just shrugged and looked onward, trying to ignore her Ronso friend.

She sighed and turned to Kimarhi " I have feelings for someone in there... and now I have no chance with them.." she was trying hard not to cry infront of him but it wasn't working well at all.

Kimarhi thought for a moment and then closed his eyes " Rikku should tell Wakka.... Hiding... Not good." he answered her opening his eyes and then turning. He walked on in, but before he opened the door pressed on he turned to face her once again " Don't wait." he said disapearing.

The night got colder and soon Rikku could see her own breath. She didn't want to face anyone in there but she knew they cared... and if they care they'd understand. She only hoped Kimarhi wouldn't tell.. then again Kimarhi didn't do that kind of thing so she was still yet to tell Wakka. Should she wait or take Kimarhi's advice and express her feelings now.. Rikku continued to stare out as she pondered.

----------------------

Everything was coming to an end and they were ready to start cleaning up. Wakka had wondered where Rikku had went after their announcement. The first thing that came into Wakka's mind was.. " is she jealous?" but that thought passed quickly.

Soon everyone was worried about her and went out to search. Why was she hiding from them?

A question within a question...

Wakka came outside and spotted Rikku. She was still in the same spot, freezing and crying at the same time. He knew right then and there that something was wrong " Rikku I know theres something wrong and you can't say otherwise because this is the second time I've seen you cry. So spill,ya?" he said in a quite annoyed voice.. but in truth is was more worried than annoyed.

Rikku closed her eyes and turned away from him " E muja oui.." she blurted out, knowing he had no clue what she just said.

Wakka looked puzzled " What?..." he said trying to put two and two together.

Rikku walked off leaving him alone " It was a nice wedding," she lied " Very nice.."

---------------------

Later that night Wakka wondered about his feelings. What was his real reason for marrying Lulu? He was trying to be someone he wasn't and not liking it " Aw,crap... I'm so screwed." his thoughts were running wild. His heart was beating, but it wasn't beating for Lulu... it was beating for "her". He only knew how to hide... but this time he hid too much because now it was ruining everything.

Was this his emotions? Or was it his heart speaking...
