Chapter 1: Came to Shore
After hearing that Shoopuf story Auron told him, he felt embarassed and wanted to take a walk. On the road to Guadosalam, he saw the ocean and the sand. And, there seemed to be something else there too. A.....person? He jogged over to the body and saw a strange style of clothing he hadn't seen in a while.
"Huh?" The person stood up, and started removing the clothing that protected her from the water. Tidus just looked at her, confused. When she removed her goggles, she drew in a sigh. "Man, I thought I was going to die back there." " Rikku! How are you?" She rubbed her neck. "Terrible." He tilted his head to one side. "Why's that?" Rikku made a stare that could petrify a man. "It's cause of you!" "Me? Why?" "You attacked me!" " Oh that's because you were trying to kidnap Yuna!"
"Hmph, it's not what you think." She looked away. Just as she was about to explain, Yuna and her guardians came.
"Who's this? A friend of yours Tidus?" Wakka asked.
"Yeah, this is Rikku, she's an Al bhe...heh.hehe..heh."
Lulu stood next to Yuna and whispered something in her ear. "Rikku, can I speak to you for a just a bit?" Yuna motioned her hand towards her. "Sure Yunie."
As she walked over to Lulu and Yuna, the rest of the guardians were about to follow, but Rikku turned around. "Sorry! Girls only."
The men rolled their eyes, while in the far corner Auron was looking at the three girls with interest. He walked over to them as he thought that they would need his guidance.
"Sir Auron, I would like for Rikku to my guardian." Auron looked over to the Al Bhed then to Yuna. She better be worth it, he thought. He walked over towards Rikku. As he came closer to Rikku, she felt that she had to be afraid since he did look like a monk and had this intimidating look with him. His facial features took the cake. That scarred eye, that didn't seem that bad if you've seen his opened one that looked at you as if you were prey.
"Look at me." His voice was sturdy and right to the point. Rikku was looking down at the time since she was so afraid of what he might do if he found out who she was. But she thought she could get away with it if she looked up with her eyes closed. Which was totally incorrect. "Open your eyes." She tightened when she heard that. She just opened one eye reluctantly hoping for the best. He showed a hint of a smile seeing that the girl was so afraid. "As I thought."
She didn't know what to make out of those words. "No good?" He studied her. "Are you certain?"
With that, she smiled. "One hundred percent! So can I?" She pleaded with her most adorable eyes. Disgusted, Auron turned away. "If Yuna wishes it."
"Yes, I do."
After all the unbearable nervousness, Rikku just let out. "Oh man I'm so glad! Happy to be on the team guys!"
Wakka smiled. "Well I'm for it, the more the merrier I say!" "Right-O! And I'll just have to be the merriest!"
Auron started walking the path to Guadosalam and the rest of the group followed also.
Rikku was studying all the guardians. So, this is how they are huh? I guess I can see why Yunie picked these guys. They're pretty cool! ...............Except for that guy over there. Man, he's in need of a fun boost. And I know exactly who can do that......heheh......
She slowly inched toward the man in the red coat and looked at him studying more of his features. Auron noticed this and Hmphed.
"Hi! I'm Rikku and I'm guessing you're Auron right?" She offered her hand out, but no response or action was returned. Disappointed but not defeated, she continued with her conversation with this strange and moody looking man. "How come you don't talk that much? Did something happen earlier, or did I offend you in any way? Cause I don't think I did mean-"She was cut short.
"NO, nothing is wrong. This is how I always am. I don't plan on making any friendship with you either. I am concentrating on what do next once we reach Guadosalam. Leave me alone"
Whoa, that just HAS to be the grumpiest guy EVER! Rikku thought. "Well excuuuuuse me! I wasn't being mean or anything was I? What did I ever do to you? If you just wanted to be left alone, you could've at least said it nicely."
Auron just walked on ignoring the now irritated Al Bhed.
"You know what, fine, I don't care. I won't talk to you either!" She held her head up high, crossed her arms, and started walking faster. I don't care! If he wants to be that way, I'll let him! I have plenty of friends now...losing him wont make a difference. Would it? Well, I guess I could give him another chance, I don't want give Yunie more problems in this pilgrimage than she already has.

Who is this girl who keeps on bothering me?? Auron thought to himself. I mean I know I was a bit harsh, but let's face it, I'm not exactly the friendliest man in Spira. The last pilgrimage was to fault. Not to forget that I'm an unsent. Auron sighed. He knew a lot about fighting, anger, hate, and strength. But this friendship thing was something totally different. It was something he wasn't used to. Even thought he had Braska as a friend ( and Jecht....) they both had died. And besides, they were guys, he hadn't much luck with women.
And love,........he might as well die one more time if he ever pulled a stunt like love. It just wasn't his thing. Could he ever give it at least a shot? And I mean the friendship. Love is out of the question.

"So, you're staying?" Tidus asked. "I do not belong there." Auron sat down and looked at the ground. "Huh, okay then."
Rikku looked at Auron. "Um Tidus? I think I'll stay too" "Now you? What's up?" Rikku took an interest at her surroundings. " Memories are nice, but that's all they are. I like to keep my memories inside."
Tidus shrugged and went inside. Okay, now's my chance! Rikku went and sat over next to Auron. Auron just took a quick glance at her and looked away again. What does she want from me now? Oh, I'm guessing this is the friend thing. Well I guess I could say something. "What do you want?" He smacked his head mentally. Smooth Auron. "Ok you! What is your problem? I just came to have a decent conversation with you, and all you do is shoo me away? Well its not workin' mister! I'm gonna talk to you right now!" Auron sighed. This might take a while.
"So Auron, what's up?" She seems to be back to normal, he noticed. "Hey Auron, wait a sec, I thought I saw something." He raised an eyebrow. "Huh wow, I never saw that."
"Saw what?" What's up with this Al Bhed? She studied him some more. "Heeyy, you actually look pretty cute, you know?" And with that, he blushed the heck out of himself. "E-Excuse me?"
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say it like that! Well I mean I did but ...well you know." "I think I understand" After that, he didn't say another word. Man, this is great Rikku, how are you going to figure him out now that you've scared him like that. But actually I couldn't help myself; I mean he WAS pretty cute for his age. Wait, how old is he? I'm guessing he's in his 30's maybe. And how old am I? 16? He's not even twice my age. And what's even more surprising is that I'm not bothered with it.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
What did she just say?!?!? That I was, cute? But, what can she see about me that isn't ugly? "Thank...you."
Rikku looked up at him. "Huh?" "I guess I haven't been complimented about that before." She smiled. "Well that's surprising." He blushed again. "Oh! You just look so innocent when you blush! This seems like a proper moment; give me a hug!" He widened his eye and fiddled with his hands a bit. "Why?" Rikku scratched her head. "Well, why not?" Auron thought for an answer, and as soon as he had one, he really looked at her. He could see why Tidus, checked her out a few times before. She was quite the site to see. Her hair was a soft blonde rolled into a bun with two braids flowing down her back. And like a lot of Al Bheds, she was a nice shape. But it was those eyes that made me go into a trance. They had a swirl that was so inviting and seducing. It could change her emotions so quickly and you either wanted to comfort her, or play with her.
Rikku saw Auron just staring at her and it was making her feel a bit uncomfortable so she decided to lighten up the mood a bit. She smiled. "So like, why don't you ever smile?" He blinked. "Smiling is something I don't do. There isn't any time for that." "Ha! Of course there is you silly. There's always time for smiling. Who doesn't smile?? I know I do!" She grinned. "Well, Kimarhi doesn't." Rikku snickered. "I don't think Kimarhi can smile! But who knows." Rikku was about to say something else but just then the group came back. "Hey guys, so how'd it go?" But they didn't answer her when they saw Lord Jyscal trying pop out of the Farplane. Auron grunted in pain. "Yuna, send him!" Rikku noticed this and got suspicious and worried. After Yuna sent the poor Jyscal dude, a sphere was left which Yuna picked up and kept.
"So.....where are we going next?" Tidus asked. "Next, we going to the Thunder Plains." Rikku cringed when she heard the word. "So, like do we have to go there?" Lulu looked at her. "It's the only way." The Al Bhed sighed. "Oh, alright." She said in depressed tone. I have a feeling Auron's gonna start not liking me once we get to the......Thunderplains...........EEP. –sweatdrop-
