Chapter 4
{Note: Alright just to let you know. I said that I would explain that father thing, right? I will explain, I'm just trying to find the right place to put it. Thanks.}
Seyven could feel something poking his leg. When he turned around he saw a small, stuffed moogle, waving at him.
"Um....hi?", he waved back.
The moogle stopped waving. It looked Seyven in the eye and then promptly rammed into his nose.
"OW!!! Hey what was that for?!" He held a hand to his nose. He used his other hand to form a fist. He shook his fist at the moogle like an old man.
"You didn't tell me everything", the sound of a very angry woman entered his ears.
"Huh?", Seyven saw the moogle retreat to the arms of the Black Mage.
"You heard me!", Lulu growled.
"If I told you everything that there is to know about this place. I'm afraid you would kill me before I finished!"
"What did you mean when you said Rikku was only 'physically' okay?!", Lulu questioned, almost on the verge of casting a Fira spell on Seyven's ass.
A couple of meters away, a gunner and a warrior watched the scene with interest.
"Protective isn't she?"
"When it involves Rikku, she'll mow down almost anything in her path", the gunner faced her companion, "Um...Paine?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think we should stop her?"
"Not yet, Yuna", Paine smirked, "When she starts ripping his limbs off, THEN we can stop her."
"( I must not run away.....I must not run away!)", Seyven thought, slightly backing away from the black mage.
"Well?", Lulu hissed.
"Um.....Oh yeah! Rikku is always in a dark mood. She says she misses someone, but she won't say who. Some nights when she's crying in her sleep, I can hear her call out to this person named Lulu. I think that this Lulu person is the someone she misses, so if you have a bone to pick with ANYONE I think it would be Lulu, okay?", He quickly said all that in one breath. He covered his eyes, expecting the world to end, but when it didn't he uncovered them and saw the number 2# saddest face he ever saw. (The 1# is Rikku.)
{Note: Seyven doesn't know their names yet.}
The moment Lulu's mood dropped, Yuna and Paine rushed over to support her. They were afraid she might faint after hearing that, but she didn't.
Lulu blinked away the tears that were starting to form in her eyes. She looked at Seyven, "Where's Rikku?", she asked, almost choking up.
"She's okay, we are going to find her, and you'll see that she's fine", Yuna tried vainly to cheer her up, while Paine looked down, unable to find the words.
But Lulu ignored them anyway. Her eyes were focused on Seyven, silently begging for an answer.
"Follow me", he said.
He led them to a medium sized house. He knocked on the door. When the knock wasn't answered he sighed and raised his fist to knock again. This time the door opened.
"Oh, hello there Seyven. You brought guests?", a small woman with long brown hair answered the door.
"Kana, can you tell me where Miss Rikku is?", he asked, not responding to her question.
"She won't come out of her room. She says she doesn't want to train today".
"That doesn't matter right now. These young ladies want to see her", he said, gesturing to the three behind him.
"Alright. Please come in. I'll try to drag her out again", Kana closed the door behind her after they walked in.
Fifteen minutes later.
"I'm sorry, but she won't listen. Maybe she'll respond someone else", she lamented.
"Let me", Lulu stood up from her seat.
"Her room is down the hall. First door on your right"
"Thanks", once she found the right door, she started to feel a bit nervous, "(What if?......)"
She took a deep breath, "Rikku".
Inside the room a certain blonde head shot up at the sound of her name being called by that.....voice, "(No that can't be her, can it?)"
Lulu almost had a heart attack when she heard a hesitant, soft voice, "Who's there?"
The mage sniffed, "Who do you think it is?"
The door flew open and Lulu was glomped unexpectedly by............Rikku!!
"LU!!", Rikku yelled.
That yell was heard by the occupants in the living room.
"Lu?.....You mean she's Lulu?!", Seyven was very surprised.
Yuna and Paine nodded, surprised that someone that knew so much was that dense.
Back in the hallway.
"I thought I would never see you again!", Rikku had tears rolling down her face.
Lulu had her own batch of tears, "Same here"
They both wiped each other's faces. They couldn't stop smiling.
"I like your new clothes", Lulu pointed at the samurai dress sphere she was wearing.
Rikku giggled. She leaned forward and caught the mage's lips with her own.
