I'm With You
Chapter 10:On Your Knees
Tidus watched as Lulu's red eyes widened in reaction to the doll.
"Of course I know what that is, you forget who you are talking to",She replied coldly,returning to her surroundings.
Tidus figured she would do something like this.
"What would your prized moogle, the same moogle that you guarded with your life all the way on the pilgrimage, be in Rikku's possession?"Tidus asked.
Lulu's eyes narrowed.
"What makes you think that it's mine, You know how Rikku favored it, she probably got one just like it."
Tidus began to get mad, while they were here playing 'who owns the moogle' Rikku was out-who knows where, in who knows what, probably dieing...
"Look!",Tidus said through clenched teeth as he slammed his fist on the wooden table next to Lulu's chair, making her jump slightly in surprise.
"I don't have time for these games! Now, you can choose to help me bring back our friend alive, or I'm leaving to get started without you...your choice!"
He waited for a moment, but she said nothing.
Tidus let out a frustrated sigh and turned for the door.
Just as he reached the door he heard a soft chuckle.
"Still the same as always,stubborn and stupid." Lulu smiled in amusement and Tidus turned around,a smile on his face.
"You can't go out alone, you'll end up screwing it all up and then you and Rikku will both be as good as dead."
Tidus watched as she got out of her chair and walked over to him.
"Now, I can't tell you where she went, because I honestly don't know. And I can't grantee that she ran away, but I will help you find her." Lulu reassured.
"Great!" Tidus said with a voice full of joy and triumph.
~_~
Lulu lead him out of the room and into the hallway.
"I have the old airship waiting behind the woods before the waterfall." Tidus told her.
"Ok, good." Lulu said and she raised and eyebrow as Tidus looked at her, not moving.
"Well, are we going or what?"
"Oh, right...let's go!" Tidus said happily.
They made it up the hill from the village in silence.
"Hey man! Wait up!",The both turned around and saw Wakka running toward them, blitz ball under arm.
"Rikku's my friend to ya! I'm gonna help find 'er!",He said enthusiactily, pumping his fist in the air.
"All right man, Let's go!" Tidus said, giving him a high five.
Lulu rolled her eyes at their 'mocho buddy' display and began walking toward the woods near the water fall.
They found the Airship easily, and Lulu helped Tidus figure out how to turn it on and get it started again.
As the Airship flew over the familiar,yet haunting waters Tidus could only keep his mind on one thing...Rikku.
He remembered when they first met, how she had saved his life...even if it had meant punching him out.
A smile crept over his face as he absently rubbed his stomach in memory of it.
It was just like her, She would knock ya till you bled, but it would most likely be the best for you in the end.
He loved the way her eyes lit up with she was teasing him or playing around.
And that smile...
Her smile could part the clouds on a rainy day. It had been so long since she had smiled,and it had been so stormy lately.
Tidus was pulled from his thoughts as the red warning light blinked and he made his way to the bridge.
"Where are we?" Lulu asked as he entered.
"I need to take a quick stop at the house to pick up something real quick, then we'll be on our way." He said as she followed him from the bridge to the garage which held only two bikes.
Lulu went for the other bike but Tidus stopped her.
"I'll only be gone a second, you might wanna stay here with the ship anyway, the last thing we need is for Wakka to be left alone with all of this Al Bhed machina."
Lulu smiled and nodded.
Yes, Wakka was warmer to the Albhed, but he wasn't very 'used' to all of the new technology that they introduced, and he sometimes got very frustrated with it...and a frustrated Wakka leads to broken things.
~_~
She pulled herself onto the dock. Her arms were sore and bruised from all of the swimming,oh and the fighting for her life against the currents.
The crew sadly began to pull there gear off. The only sound on the air was the unclasping of buckles and zippers, and the occasional grunt-like breath from Giha.
Rikku pulled off her mask and flinched as her skin was welcomed by cold wind.She tried to dry her face best she could with her arm to keep the sting of the wind less intense.
It was Paine who finally broke the silence.
"Look, Raden knew the dangers in being a Treasure Hunter, as do all of us. She took the same risks we did...no one could have prevented what happened,it was fate, and fate is inevitable."
No one said anything, Giha and Saja walked inside, their gear being picked up, ready for cleaning by some of the dock men.
As Rikku removed her last glove she walked over to Paine, "I'm going to bed." She stated.
Paine nodded,"As is most of us", and Rikku walked below deck.
Her mind was so jumbled she couldn't hold onto one thought at a time. She felt like her head was swimming, even harder then she had been less then five minutes ago.
She paid no mind to her surroundings,her mind was on auto-pilot.
Rikku ran her hand across the smooth steel wall, her fingers grazing the occasional knut or bolt as she walked toward her room.
She couldn't really comprehend what was happening.
How had her life spiraled downward so?
It had pulled her in slowly and she didn't even realize it until it was to late.
A clear drop fell to the ground,splashing silently over the floor.
Soon, tears were streaming down Rikku's numb cheeks, leaving a trail of tears in her wake.
She made it to her room as fast as she could.
Her eyes roamed the place she had called hers for almost a month.
It was still a mess, from which she last left it.Her eyes reached the blood crusted whole and she cringed and clutched her injured fist involuntarily.
She looked down at her bandaged fist and examined the soaked white rag.
As she began to unravel it she noticed a couple rips from the fight below.The blood stain began to brown.
Once her hand was completely unraveled she examined her hand. Thanks to the spell Paine had cast on the rag her hand was completely healed, with the exception of a small white scar on her knuckle.
Rikku grimly realized that if the spell hadn't taken care of that scar she was stuck with it for life.
She sighed and tossed the bandage into the small bin near her door and flopped tiredly onto the orange hammock.
Rikku watched the floor swing by slowly through the fishnet squares pressed up against her face as she lie face down on the hammock.
She couldn't remember the last time she was this tired.
Her vision began to blur as tears formed.
She tried to blink them away, but as they fell, they only left more in their wake.
Eventually she just stopped fighting them all together and they poured, forming a small,cold puddle beneath her on the steel floor.
She soon got tired of watching her tears puddle on the floor and she carefully slipped on her back.
Something on the wall caught her gaze and she sat up.
"What the hell...?"
~_~
Tidus walked out of the airship. He needed to grab one of Rikku's bike so that He, Lulu and Wakka could each have their own bike.
He ran as fast as he could past the docks.
'Of all days it had to be Market day!' He thought grumpily as he made it to the main street.
It was jammed pack with people bartering and selling good. Bikes, Cars and Carts where noisily jammed in the streets.
Taking a deep breath, and with Rikku in mind he started pushing past people, leaving broken things and angry people in his wake.
He darted across the traffic jam and slid over the roof of a car, earning an angry blast from the driver.
Tidus paid no mind however, he ran through a back ally and jumped over a large fence blocking his path.
He landed hard and his knees gave a small crack with the landing but he pressed on, jumping over dumpsters and diving under people.
Finally his destination was in sight! As he ran up the sloping hill the house came into view.
"Bout time!", He breathed heavily as he draped himself over the railing to the house, trying to catch his breath and stop the world from spinning.
He pulled himself up the stairs to the door and quietly opened it.
The lights were out and the curtains closed,he couldn't see a thing so he carefully walked down the hall into the living room.
His hand grouped the wall, searching for the light.
Then he heard it.
It sounded like...grunting?
"What the?" Tidus whispered to himself and flipped the light on.
There, on the couch was Yuna and Resku, lips locked.
Yuna's skirt was hiked up and her blouse was a mess.
Articles of clothing littered the floor.
"Yuna!?!"
She shot up at the sound of her name.
"Uh..Tidus!" She began nervously, as she sat up, pushing Resku off of her lightly.
One thing could be read on her face...'Busted'.
Tidus shook his head in disbelief.
This was a dream, a horrible nightmare he would wake from any moment now.
He would wake up in his bed, Yuna next to him sound asleep, Rikku in her bed, happy as she was before.
But it wasn't a dream.
Yuna sat up and fixed her blouse as she tried to walk over to him.
He stormed out and went into the garage, Rikku was still out there and once he got her back he was never coming back to this place again!
Yuna followed him.
"Tidus wait, let me explain!",She begged.
He turned around, facing her.
"How could you?", He asked, his eyes narrowed, his face etched in anger.
He started walking again, waiting for her explanation.
He made his way into the garage and went up to the large gray cabinet.
She followed him.
"You wanna know why?, I'll tell you why! Your why!",She said bitterly.
Tidus glanced up at her, eyes still narrowed and turned to what he was doing.
He opened the cabinet and pulled out his long, Brotherhood sword.
It glittered in the bright garage lights.
He walked over to Rikku's dark green bike and slid the sword into the holster of the bike.
Yuna walked down the stairs to the floor of the garage and began again.
"I mean, do you know what it's like, hearing day after day of,'Yuna, I think somethings wrong with Rikku!','Yuna, someone should see if Rikku's alright','Rikku this, Rikku that'!",She paused,"Enough about my damn, good-for-nothing cousin! I mean I am only your fiance!"
She shook her head.
"I'm glad she's gone, She's better off out of my life. All she did was burden me! She's the worst thing that happened to this world and it will be much better without her."
Yuna tried to calm herself but it didn't work.
She watched him.
"Where are you going?",She shrieked.
"Out of here, to find the only true woman in my life.",He finally said after mounting the bike.He slid the dark blue helmet onto his head.
"FINE!",Yuna shouted over the rumble of the bike.
"Go to your whore! See if I care! You'll just find her dead!"
Tidus gave her a mock solute and tore out of the garage.
Leaving a distressed and ruffled Yuna behind him.
~-~--~
Rikku slid off of the hammock and walked over to one of the boxes Paine had re stacked.
She traced her finger over the edge, it sat up against the wall.
She gathered her strength and pushed the crate aside,knocking it over, but she didn't care.
Rikku's attention was on what the crate hid behind it.
Her eyes traced a large whole in the wall.
"Well...I didn't do that one!",She said indefinitely.
She measured up the whole, it was big enough for her to fit through, just barley though.
Rikku poked her head through but it was to dark inside to see what was in it or where it lead.
She got up from her kneeling position and walked over to a small black box by her door.
The box was a intercom directed to the Captains cabin,Paine's room.
She pushed the small green button and a red light turned on.
"Uh...Pa-er...Capitan Paine,This is Rikku, Ya might wanna come down here and check this out",She said.
The red light turned green and she let go of the green button.
"Wh-at is i-t?",Paine's voice came back over the intercom, her words being separated by static.
"Um, Its hard to explain...just get down here!",Rikku responded.
Rikku swung back and forth on the hammock slowly, her left foot on the floor propelling her backward and forward when finally the buzzer rang and her door opened.
"What is so important that you had to wake me up?",Paine said, her red eyes even redder from lack of sleep.
"That!", Rikku said and pointed to the human sized whole in her wall.
Paine's eyebrow shot up in question and she walked up and knelt beside the whole.
"Where'd this come from? Being destructive again?",Paine asked teasingly, but Rikku couldn't help but pick up a little seriousness in her voice.
"No!",Rikku said defensively, "I didn't do it! I found it like that?".
"Do you know where it leads?",Paine asked, sticking her head into the hole, like Rikku had done, momentarily.
"No,It was to dark to see",Rikku said.
"We need to find out where it lead",Paine said as she stood.
Rikku rolled her eyes.
"Man, I wish I would have thought of that, I sure do see why they made you Capitan!" Rikku said sarcastically.

"Uh...Pa-er...Capitan Paine,This is Rikku, Ya might wanna come down here and check this out",She said.
The red light turned green and she let go of the green button.
"Wh-at is i-t?",Paine's voice came back over the intercom, her words being separated by static.
"Um, Its hard to explain...just get down here!",Rikku responded.
Rikku swung back and forth on the hammock slowly, her left foot on the floor propelling her backward and forward when finally the buzzer rang and her door opened.
"What is so important that you had to wake me up?",Paine said, her red eyes even redder from lack of sleep.
"That!", Rikku said and pointed to the human sized whole in her wall.
Paine's eyebrow shot up in question and she walked up and knelt beside the whole.
"Where'd this come from? Being destructive again?",Paine asked teasingly, but Rikku couldn't help but pick up a little seriousness in her voice.
"No!",Rikku said defensively, "I didn't do it! I found it like that?".
"Do you know where it leads?",Paine asked, sticking her head into the hole, like Rikku had done, momentarily.
"No,It was to dark to see",Rikku said.
"We need to find out where it lead",Paine said as she stood.
Rikku rolled her eyes.
"Man, I wish I would have thought of that, I sure do see why they made you Capitan!" Rikku said sarcastically.
