Chapter 5:Not Just Tidus
Rikku stomped down the hall.She was furious,no she was livid...she was out for blood and even the angels felt sorry for anyone in her way.
The workers in the building could sense something was wrong with the usually chipper blond.Her eyes weren't there usual sea-green,they were emerald with anger.Her fists were clutched tightly to her sides and her jaw was so tightly clenched it was numb.
The image of Tidus being knocked unconscious by those men played over and over in her mind,both haunting her and fueling her anger.
She reached the tall oak double doors and clenched the cold golden handle tightly,trying hard to take a deep breath she opened the door.
"YUNA!" she yelled as she walked into the room,not bothering to shut the door she found Yuna behind a large,dark oak desk.She was sitting in the large chair,wringing her hands nervously.She looked up at Rikku's voice and let out a loud sigh of relief and ran over to her.
"Rikku,your all right,I've been trying to reach you for hours!"Yuna said hastily as she wrapped her arms around her younger cousin.
Rikku,however,didn't return the hug."He's gone!"She said plainly,looking into Yuna's eyes.
"Huh,who's gone?"Yuna asked,puzzled."Tidus...he's gone."Rikku told her.Yuna's eyes went from confusion to worry to fear in a matter of seconds."Oh dear,then I am afraid this has gotten even more out of hand!"Yuna started mumbling and pacing back and forth in front of Rikku,looking at her feet and talking conversations with herself very fast.Rikku cough bits of "...how could it have gotten this far" some "Oh dears" and a few "What to do?" Rikku finally became very dizzy with her cousins pacing and placed her gloved hands on her cousins exposed shoulders.
"Yuna,whats going on...there's something else...isn't there" Yuna did not meet Rikku's gaze,"What are you keeping from me?"Rikku asked stubbornly.
"Im not keeping anything from you Rikku,it's just...a war is waging."Yuna said quietly.There was a couple answers Rikku expected from Yuna...but a war waging in peaceful,perfect Spira was NOT one of them.
Rikku stumbled back wards,"What do you mean a war is waging...between who? What the hell is going on?"Rikku asked,composing herself once more.Yuna took a deep breath and said,"You might wanna sit down for this."
Yuna went behind her desk and sat in her over-sized chair while Rikku sat in one of the small red chairs in front of the desk.Yuna leaned forward,propping her elbows on the table.
"I had gotten word last night that some people have been going missing,and not like the usual kidnapping,important people!"
"Yuna...who?"
"Lulu and Wakka"Yuna said sadly.
"What???"Rikku asked,not believing her ears."Lulu and Wakka have been kidnapped? No way!"
Yuna looked sadly at her cousin,"Kimarhi...and Tidus makes four" she paused,"Noticing a pattern yet?"
It took Rikku's brain some time to pick up on what Yuna was telling her,before it snapped,"Everyone who helped defeat Sin!"
"Yes,that's why I called you,I got so worried when I couldn't reach you,I thought you had gotten kidnapped to"Yuna said,sighing heavily.
"So,were are they?"Rikku asked.
"I don't know,the kidnappers didn't leave any trace of clues!"
"I think I have a clue...I got Tidus's kidnapping on tape...maybe if we studied it..."Rikku trailed off.
"Right,good...wait,how did you get tape of it?"Yuna asked puzzled.
"They filmed it...all of it,from the trashing of my house to when they knocked Tidus out"Rikku explained.
"How odd"Yuna said quietly,looking at her desk in deep thought.
"What happened to Yoko?"Rikku asked,the little girl had just came to Rikku's memory.Yuna didn't even look up,"Oh,she's staying with someone at the village" waving her hand in the air,brushing it off as nothing..."Oh,ok"Rikku nodded,feeling a great relief being lifted from her chest knowing that Yoko was fine.
Both Yuna was Rikku were in deep thought,Rikku thought back to that weird 'dream' she had...meeting up with the faith and she was debating on whether she should tell Yuna about it or not.
"Yuna...there's something you might wanna-" but before Rikku could say anything else the door burst open and a man with a long robe hurried in."Lady Yuna...this has been sent to you!"He handed her a large blue sphere and quickly departed.
By this time Rikku had lied herself diagonal across the chair and her feet was hanging over the edge,propped up on the chair next to it.
Yuna gave Rikku a puzzled glance and looked at the glowing object.She carefully pressed the edges and instead of an image or recording,which was what Rikku was half expecting,a slow melody played.
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Things it yearns to remember...
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December
Rikku listened to the music,something about it made her want to drift off to sleep.Yuna's eyes filled with tears and Rikku sat up.
"What's wrong Yunie?"She asked,about to stand up.
"That song,My father sung it to me when I was little,and had nightmares...It had been in our family for generations,no one knew it except me,my father and at the time my grandfather,we were the only people alive then who knew it...but when my Grandfather and Father died...it was only me.I haven't heard that song in almost 13 years!"Tears were streaming down her face and she looked at the sphere in amazement.
The voice the sung that song was defiantly male...but who?
"Yuna,if your the only living person who knows that song...how did it get on that sphere?That was a man's voice...somethings not right"Rikku said,finally standing.
Yuna also stood,"Your right Rikku...something is defiantly amiss here" She walked around the desk and stood next to Rikku.
"Have you visited the crime scene yet?"Rikku asked her,"No,I haven't,some one taped it and sent it here,they told me they found nothing."Yuna said.Rikku pumped her fist in the air,"Well,I think it's about time we checked it out"
Yuna nodded,"Your right Rikku...but first,let me see the recording they left you"
____________________________________________________________________________________
Yuna rode on the back of Rikku's bike all the way to the transporter dock,from there they got on the airship and off to Home.Rikku slowly walked down the haunting hallway and to the door that she dreaded to ever return to.She paused before swiping the card and opening the door.The place was exactly how Rikku left it,trashed.
She didn't bother turning off the light when she left and the bruised bulb was flickering slightly.
'Sorry it's such a mess,you know how men get when there stealing the love of your life'Rikku mentally told Yuna.
As Yuna looked at the sight before her she gasped,placing her hand over her mouth,her multi-colored eyes wide with shock.
Rikku stepped over the upturned table over to the ripped couch and picked up the little receiver with the message.She clicked on the messages 'replay' button and handed it to Yuna,who watched the screen in horror as the scene played before the woman for the first time.Rikku closed her eyes and tried to block out the sounds of punching and Tidus' voice as it played.When it was done Yuna turned it off and handed it back to Rikku.
Rikku looked down at the silver piece of machina in her hand and griped it tightly,trying to push her anger down but it just wouldn't budge.A tear of anger and worry slid down the young Al Bheds cheek before she hurtled the receiver against the wall,smashing it into little tiny bits that flew everywhere.
Yuna let out a small squeak of surprise as she watched it shatter to bits.
Rikku let out a deep breath and took in an equally big one,she did this for almost 5 minutes before she turned to Yuna,"Ok,let's go to Besaid" Yuna nodded,her hands clutched together and resting on her chest.
