Gullwing Diary 3
Paine is Insane

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Final Fantasy X-2 or Demon Diary, in case you've been eating out of aluminum pans lately. OHOHOHO! *annoying laughter*
A/N: Reviewers will be rewarded handsomly!

Where we left off, out author was attempting to do a really cheesy Battle Royale parody! Who will be the first to die?!

Eclipse silently materialized behind Yuna, who was aiming a gun at our favorite dimwit.
"He takes you in...and this is how you repay him?!"
Yuna whirled around, pistols raised. When her odd eyes met Eclipse's own, she became overcome with fear. "Ahh! Where'd you come from?" she demanded, inching to the right so that she was not pushed over the balcony. The palms of her hands were sweaty as she gripped the cold railing with white knuckles. Right now, Eclipse looked to her like the guy from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and with the way he was evil-eyeing her she wouldn't be surprised if he chopped her face off and sewed it onto his own. All while humming merrily. Oh my.
Laughter echoed around Yuna. "Right now...I come from your nightmares!" he cackled, and began to move forward while materializing a dark ball of energy in his hand.
Two gunshots rang out from the castle.

Six characters remaining.

"A-HA! WE FOUND IT!" the redhead named Erutis cheered, brimming over with gaiety at the sight of the library. Chris heard two loud bangs. "Eru! Did you hear that?" he whispered nervously, turning back to his companion. But she was in her own little world, singing and dancing around merrily. She was impertinently awakened from her jig by a terrified scream and another gunshot. Her eyes widened and her face blanched. Running footsteps! Coming closer! Erutis frantically looked around for a hiding place. Chris dragged her behind a bookshelf and then put as much distance between them as possible, to Erutis' dismay. Dim candle light seeped through gaps in the shelf. The warrior inched slowly towards Chris and was right next to him in time. "I'm scared," Erutis whispered, and she was. Trying not to show his surprise, Chris shyly put an arm around her. "It's okay," he said reassuringly, peering out between some books. Voices were heard. "Eclipse is dead!" a familiar voice cried out, sobbing. A slap. "NITWIT! Eclipse was plotting against us anyway! And keep your voice down, the redhead and the monk are out there somewhere!" an angry voice hissed furiously. Chris' face burned at the mention of 'monk'. "Magic-wielding swordsman," he muttered under his breath. Erutis, however, was happily snuggling against his chest. She had identified the crying voice as Raenef and the colder voice as the other female warrior, Paine. Erutis already felt envy of Paine, because everyone seemed to respect her more than they did Erutis. They treated her as a real Sword Master. Maybe it was her interesting attire? No, she was just creepy. Yeah. That was it. "Eclipse," Raenef sobbed again, and Erutis caught a glimpse of his bright blue hair as he fell to his knees and buried his head in his hands. Eclipse was DEAD?! No way. No way in hell was Eclipse dead. "SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!" Paine screamed. A shriek was heard by all and blood spattered against the walls.

Five characters remaining.

A terrified Rikku had seen Eclipse's body fall to the marble. The Al Bhed had hidden and seen the expression on Raenef's face when he saw his dead mentor. First it was shock, and then tears welled up in his childlike eyes and Paine had dragged him off. Minutes ticked away, and then Rikku heard a lot of screaming, coupled with insane laughter. It was Paine laughing! Oh, poor Raenef, Rikku thought plaintively, and mourned for a moment. "Rikku!" Rikku whirled around, holding up her weapons. "Stay away!" she shouted, twirling her miniature swords. The glint in her green eyes was not happy, but murderous. Yuna's eyes widened and she dropped her pistols to the ground and held up her hands. "Rikku, what's wrong?" she asked softly, approaching her cousin. "It's Yuna...don't you recognize me? I've been really scared. Paine just killed Raenef..." Rikku rushed up to Yuna and hugged her. "I heard Raenef screaming! And the tall demon is dead!" she cried, shaking her massive head of blonde hair. "Oh, Paine is insane!" "Rikku, it's okay now!" Yuna said slowly. "Paine is insane..." But Yuna thought evilly, And so am I, cousin. Rikku didn't see her hand holding the gun rise ever so deliberatley to the Al Bhed girl's head.

Four characters remaining...

"AAAAAHHH!" Raenef screamed, sitting bolt upright in his bed. He flicked on his light and sucked in his breath, sweat running down his face. Finally, he calmed himself down and pulled the covers up to his chin, his eyes darting around the room. "That's the last time I read Battle Royale before I go to bed," he muttered. The next morning, he threw the book into the fireplace.

A/N: HA! Fooled you. Did you really think I would kill off Raenef and Eclipse, not to mention poor Rikku? ...well...I wouldn't. Flames will be used to make a fondu kit for Erutis and Chris. Erutis: I do not like him! Chris: *inches away* _; I want nothing to do with you people.
