Rikku slowly opened her eyes, she glanced around her brightly lit room with

curiosity. Suddenly it dawned on her as to where she was. This was Bevelle, ten

years ago. The thought of everything that had happened so far caused her to laugh,

this was going to be interesting, maybe even fun.

She sat up and tried to fix her hair, but it was a complete mess. Rikku sighed

in defeat then proceeded to open the door and walk out into the hallway. Having no

idea where she was going, she merely wondered around, looking at all the statues and

elegent decorations. At the end of the hall was a large window. She walked over to it

and looked out, it showed a beautifull garden below her. Rikku was so absorbed in the

beauty off it all that she did not hear someone come up behind her.



"Hard to believe that in ten years most of this will not exist..."

Rikku turned around to see Auron, her cheeks then went a bright pink. She smiled

and moved over so he could stand beside her. They stood there for a few moments, neither

saying anything, just looking out at the garden that lay below. Finally Rikku asked the

question that had been bugging her, "What did you mean by what you said a few moments

ago?"



Auron concidered what he would say, then sighed "It doesn't really matter I guess..."

"Oh... ok" Rikku said, barely above a whisper. But it confused her as to why he would

not answer such a question. She then moved and sat on the window sill, closing her eyes.

"I'm still tired..." she yawned.

She then heard a loud thump, and opened her eyes. Auron gave her a quizical look, then

walked over to the stairs. At the bottom a child lay on the floor crying. He walked down to

the child and took her into his arms. Rikku followed him, her eyes widened to see that the

child was her cousin Yuna. Rikku watched as Auron comforted Yuna, then carried her off to her

father. All the while, Rikku was not far behind.

Auron sighed, then tried once more "Rikku please don't cry..."



"Well it's your fault if I am!" She yelled through the closed door "How could you? How

could you agree to go on that, that... suicidal pilgrimage again!"



"Rikku..." But he was cut off by more of her screaming.



"No! You know how it's going to end!" She sobbed, then flopped down on the bed and covered

her head with a pillow.

This was beginning to get to Auron, he couldn't understand why he felt so... guilty. True,

he was leading his friend to his death, but that had to happen even if he had wanted to stop

him. Then a very childish thought came to his mind, life was so unfair.

Rikku stopped crying and walked over to the door "Ummm... Auron? Are you still there?" she

asked timidly.



"Yes" he said quickly.

Rikku flung the door open and hugged him. Tears began to stream down her cheeks again.
