Rikku tasted the salt in her mouth and she immediately went to choke it out.She felt the warm,disgusting liquids pass out of her lips onto the ground and she tasted a familiar,copper-like taste too.She opened her eyes and saw that she not only coughed up water,but blood as well...her blood.
She wiped her mouth on her arm.
As her seances came about her she began to wonder were the hell she was.She sat up and all of her muscles were stiff and her joints hurt,she cried out in mild pain as she sat up.Which now brought her to the awareness that she had been covered by a thick,emerald blanket.She hugged it back to her skin as it fell,allowing cold wind to make contact with her bruised skin.
She now noticed she wasn't really on land at all,she was on a ship deck,and Albhed ship deck.
"W-where am I?"She asked the wind
No one answered. Slowly she got up, Her bones screamed with protest and she blinked out a couple left over tears and took a deep breath. She spun in a complete circle,taking her surrounding,Yep,She was defiantly on an Albhed Ship.
The metal covered dock was open and there was an entrance to the inside just a few steps from here.
Suddenly a man,in what Rikku recognized as Albhed Shipwreck Salvage Unit uniform cam out on deck,he was holding his gun in simple 003 procedure and his stance was stiff.Rikku saluted him in and Old ASSU way,Her hand on her head and the flipping of her wrist.He did the same and then spoke to her.
"Fru yna oui?"He asked [Who are you?]
She kept her hand to her head,in salute and said "E ys vunsan Ymprat Crebfnalg Cymjyka Ihed nyhg 003, Rikku,Tyikrdan uv Lybdeyh Cid,Nyhg 125." [I am former Albhed Shipwreck Salvage Unit rank 003, Rikku,Daughter of Capitan Cid,Rank 125.]
He put his gun down "Cxiyt?" [Squad?]
"Caykimm"She answered [Gullwing]
"Caykimm? Drao tecpyht syhao oaync yku,Oui yna uh dra Creb Henekke,Uv Cxiyt Cbynnuf,Famlusa Rikku uv Caykimm."He said,dropping his military stance completely. [Gullwing? They disband many years ago,You are on the Ship Niriggi,Of Squad Sparrow,Welcome Rikku of Gullwing.]
"Vunsan saspan uv Caykimm"She corrected dully.[Former member of Gullwing]
Yes,she was part of a squad of the ASSU,thats how she first met Tidus...she was on an expodition of the cave...and there he was,fighting that lizard thing....
He nodded and invited her inside.
As she walked in she was hit by a blast of warm air and it sent chills down her spine.
"So,uh...nice place"She said,her ears still ringing from the crash into the water.
"Thanks"A deep female voice came from behind her.
Rikku whirled around and was met with the deepest red eye's she had ever seen.
"Your not an Albhed"Rikku said aloud,not even realizing she was thinking it until it left her mouth.
"No kidding"The red-eyed woman stated with a smirk and a small chuckle.
She stuck out her leather clad hand,"I'm Paine,I run this ship"She said proudly.
Rikku shook her hand,"You run an albhed ship...how?"Rikku asked,wincing as it sounded rude.
Paine shook her head,"I may not be of Albhed blood,but that doesn't mean I can't be trusted with responsibility"
"I'm sorry,I didn't mean it like that,I was just wondering how you got mixed up with Albheds...that's all"
Paine looked as if she was processing her question,trying to find the best words to answer with.
"You look hungry"Was what she said."Your too skinny!"Paine said with a smile,"Me...Skinny,naw I always look this way"Rikku said with a chuckle.
"Well,down this hallway is the kitchens...then after you've had your fill you can tell me what you were doing floating face up in the middle of the ocean."
'Middle of the Ocean...face up...waiiit a minute...I was suppose to die,stupid waters.'
"Uhh,yeah...sure"Rikku said weakly,Paine looked down at her with a sad smile,she didn't know why they found this young Albhed,but if what her first mate was telling the truth,she is the former member of the best squad in the ASSU.
Rikku was led into the kitchen and offered a large plate of hot steaming food.The aroma of baked potato's,freshly grilled stake,honey barbecued ribs and an assortments of others filled the room and she felt,for the first time since she had come to,the growl of her stomach.
"Wow,and I didn't have to make any of it"Rikku said softly to herself.
Rikku sat down in a chair with Paine next to her as a plate with everything on it was delivered to her.Rikku dug into the food,tearing the meat from the bones on the ribs,slamming down the baked potato and scarfing down the other treats on her plate.She didn't even realize she was that hungry until all of that food was placed in front of her.
Paine chuckled and began to slowly eat the food on her plate,"What,don't they feed you were ever you came from?"
Rikku made a face between a smile and a grimace,"Well...not really,I usually feed them...and even the food I do put on my plate,well lets just say this is the most food I've eaten since I turned 18"
Paine nodded,"Really,So...did you run away or did they get rid of you?"Paine asked and when Rikku gave her an odd expression she finished,"Referring to your little quality time with the water."
"I tried to get rid of myself..."That answer shocked Paine,"I take it your not referring to trying to run away"
"Well,I guess what I tried to do was running away...I don't know how I survived though,I was so high up and the waters were so heavy."
Rikku looked in deep thought,"Maybe...it wasn't your time"Paine said and placed her fork in her mouth before continuing,"Perhaps you have something you need to do before you can finally leave this world...and go on to the next" She finished with a sideward glance to Rikku...
yes,She could definitely be the one they have been searching for...

Dun dun dun,lol,why was Paine and her crew searching for 'the one'? Is it Rikku or is our favorite heroin

Oh and Happy Halloween...and Don't blame me for the long wait I finally got it off of Sinopa's computer...where I began it,So pelt her with angry remarks.
