^_^*~*~*Chapter 4*~*~* ^_^

Rikku and Tidus had just recently finished eating the delicious breakfast that Rikku had made. Then they had decided to step out of the house to get some clean fresh air. They were taking a slow peaceful walk around Besaid marveling it's new improved beautiful atmosphere. Ever since Sin was defeated, people all over Spira decided to help out and rebuild Spira with new technology. There were a whole lot of Machina in Spira now ever since the beliefs of Yevon were no longer believed in anymore. The gorgeous sight of all of the new machina made Rikku's green swirly eyes light up.

"WOW! Besaid has sure changed a lot since I was around!" Rikku said excitedly as her eyes skimmed each machina, making sure that she didn't miss a single one.

Rikku was about ready to start up another friendly conversation with Tidus when all of a sudden she stopped. She had just remembered the topic her and Tidus were suppose to talk about earlier, so she brought the subject back to his attention.

" Um. . . Tidus isn't there something you were suppose to tell me?" Rikku said as she folder her narrow arms across her chest and tapped her foot on the hard ground impatiently.

" Well here goes. . ." Tidus said as he took in a deep breath and exhaled.

Tidus: Well you see. . . its Yuna, she is always busy and going places.

Rikku: What do you expect, she is the high summoner now and she has a lot of responsibilities to take care of.

Tidus: Yeah I know that but she never ever, not even once spent some quality time with me ever since the big celebration of destroying Sin!

Rikku: I'm quite sure she at least tries to spend time with you. . . right?

Tidus: Nope, she doesn't even try to spend time with me at all.

"Is Yuna crazy!? She must be out of her damn-fucking mind if she doesn't spend time with Tidus. If that were me I would do anything to be by Tidus's side and spend some quality time with him if he were my man!" Rikku thought to herself as she tried to hold back her anger.

Tidus: I mean. . . it's as if I don't even exist to her anymore! Sometimes she would just go to a meeting or whatever without giving me a good-bye kiss or anything! She doesn't even kiss me like she used to anymore! Sometimes I'm even lucky if she gives me a hug!

Tidus was getting enraged and furious just thinking about Yuna. Deep down he wanted to let out his true emotions by braking down and crying but he didn't want Rikku to see him this way.

Tidus: Oh Rikku, you don't know how much Yuna means to me. I would do anything for her, and yet she doesn't even notice me anymore. I love her more than life itself. Why can't she see that? She means everything in Spira to me.

Rikku could hear the hurt in Tidus's voice. It sounded as if he was going to break down and cry any second now. She couldn't think of anything to say. She didn't know how to respond. She was lost without words. Rikku was hurting inside just by hearing Tidus talk about Yuna.

She would always get depressed whenever she saw Tidus and Yuna together. It wasn't because she was jealous or anything. She just always had a special feeling in her heart for Tidus ever since she laid eyes on him.

Tidus: "Rikku are you listening to me?" Tidus asked as he interrupted Rikku out of her depressing thoughts.

Rikku: Huh?. . . Oh yea I'm listening," Rikku responded as she snapped back into reality.

Tidus: So what do you think I should do Rikku?

Rikku: Maybe you should try talking to her. Have you ever tried that?

Tidus: I've tried that hundreds of times, but she is always telling me that she doesn't have any time to talk.

"Damn you Yunie! How could you treat Tidus like this? He deserves a much better girlfriend than you! He deserves someone who makes him laugh. Someone to cheer him up when he's down. Someone to put a smile on his face. Someone that listens to him when he needs to be heard. Someone that cares. Someone that loves him back. Someone like. . . me!" Rikku thought to herself

Tidus: "Oh never mind Rikku. . . Lets just drop the subject for now because it's only making me angry and I don't want to ruin your day," Tidus said as he managed to put on his usual goofy smile.

"Well alright if you say so," Rikku said in her cheerful voice. She was glad to skip the subject because it was only hurting her inside whenever Tidus talked about him loving Yuna.

Tidus: So um. . . do you want to go pay a visit to Wakka and Lulu's new house and see their newborn baby?

Rikku: Sure, I would love to! I haven't seen them in a while. I just can't wait to see their baby. Who does the baby resemble?

Tidus: Well to me, I have to say that the baby looks more like Wakka because of the hair color and all.

Rikku: Is it a beautiful baby girl, or a handsome baby boy?

Tidus: Rikku I would love to tell you, but that would just take the fun out of the whole thing. Besides, I would rather for you to be surprised.

Rikku: "Aww man," Rikku whined. "I guess I'll just have to wait and see for myself," Rikku pouted as her and Tidus began to head off to Wakka and Lulu's house.

~_~_~_~_~_~ A HaLf An HouR LaTeR~_~_~_~_~_~

Rikku: "Thank goodness we are finally here," Rikku said as her and Tidus approached the door.

Tidus: "Are you going to ring the door bell or do you want me to do it?" Tidus said when he had noticed that Rikku was nervous.

Rikku: "D-Don't be s-silly I could ring the d-door bell," Rikku stuttered nervously as her finger moved closer and closer to the button.

Tidus: "Why are you acting so nervous?"

Before Rikku could even respond, a rather tall handsome guy with red hair opened the door.

"Wakka is that really you?" Rikku asked in amazement as she looked at Wakka from head to toe.

"WOW! You really look great, have you been working out lately?" Rikku joked as she stared at Wakka's stomach, noticing that he didn't have a huge gut anymore. Now Wakka had a sexy four pack (A/N: But it still wasn't as sexy as Tidus's Six Pack ^_^) LOL*

"Hey guys come in," Wakka said as he motioned for Rikku and Tidus to come in and sit in the living room. "I haven't seen you in a while Rikku, where have you been all this time, ya?" Wakka asked as he sat down on the fluffy couch.

"Oh I've just been extremely busy working," Rikku responded as she looked around the living room.

"So I um. . . noticed that your hair is a little longer and that you've really matured and developed a whole lot," Wakka said as he stared at Rikku's tight mini skirt that hugged her hips and revealed her sexy curves.

"Wakka who is that at the door?" "If its that stubborn O'aka guy trying to sell us his merchandise again, then tell him to leave," a familiar husky female voice called down from the stairs.

Rikku had turned her head around only to see a slightly tall woman with long black hair wearing a long black dress holding a small baby in her arms.

"L-Lulu is that you!?" Rikku yelled across the room excitedly as she jumped up and down like a little girl and ran towards Lulu.

"Hello Rikku, I see that you developing into a rather fully developed mature young women," Lulu said in her usual calm voice as she observed the albhed's small revealing outfit.

"Thanks, it feels so good to get a compliment from someone like you Lulu," Rikku said as she gave Lulu a friendly hug.

"Hey wait a minute. . . is that the baby!?" Rikku asked as she stared at the small handsome baby boy.

"May I please hold him?" Rikku begged in her normal pleasant voice.

"Sure I don't see why not," Lulu said as she carefully handed Rikku the baby.

Rikku had held out her arms and gently took the baby from Lulu.

"Awww he's sooo cute!" Rikku said as she stared into the baby's dark red eyes.

"He has your eyes Lulu, oh and by the way, what is his name?" Rikku asked not taking her eyes off of the baby's handsome ruby red eyes.

"Wakka and I agreed to name the baby 'Chappu' because his features resemble the original Chappu," Lulu said with a satisfying smile on her face. Rikku could tell that Lulu was happy now because she smiled more often.

Rikku ran over to Tidus to show him the baby. "Tidus isn't he the most precious thing you have ever seen in your whole entire life," Rikku said as she took her gaze off of the baby and was now staring into Tidus's azure eyes.

"Yes, he sure is," Tidus said as he looked at the small baby

"I sure wish that I could have a precious baby like Chappu. I wonder what me and Tidus's baby would look like if we ever had a child together. I bet it would look so adorable," Rikku thought to herself as she closed her eyes and tried to imagine what her and Tidus's baby would look like. Suddenly there was an enormously loud thrashing thunder sound that interrupted Rikku out of her thoughts.

"Aaaaah!!! Oh no not thunder!!!" Rikku screamed loudly and startled Chappu which caused him to cry.

"S-Sorry I scared him," Rikku apologized as she handed Chappu back into Lulu's arms. Then there was an even more louder thunderbolt that came thrashing down from the sky and shook the entire ground.

"Aaaaaah!!!" Rikku screamed as she fell to the floor with her hands covering her ears.

"I h-hate t-thunder!" Rikku yelled.

"Maybe you and Tidus better head home before the storm gets worst," Lulu exclaimed as she tried to quiet Chappu so that he could stop crying."

"Yeah I agree," Tidus responded as he stood up off of the couch.

Rikku was nervously rocking back and forth on the cold wooden floor and hadn't noticed that Tidus was ready to leave.

"Rikku are you coming home with me or not?" Tidus asked politely as he stared at the frightened albhed on the floor.

"NO! I CANT GO OUT THERE. . . THE THUNDER IS WAY TOO SCARY!!!" Rikku yelled as she still continued to rock back and forth on the floor.

"The weather is not going to get any better no time soon, it's only going to get worst," Lulu said as she looked out the window.

"Well, if you want to come home in the storm all alone that's just fine with me," Tidus said sarcastically hoping that his statement would change Rikku's mind and make her come home with him.

"Okay Okay, I'm coming," Rikku muttered as she got off of the cold wooden floor. Rikku nervously walked over to Tidus with her hands covering her ears, hoping that another thunderbolt wouldn't come thrashing down from the sky.

Lulu had slowly walked over to where Rikku and Tidus was standing and handed them a black umbrella.

"Sorry, but we only have one extra umbrella," Lulu said as she handed Tidus the umbrella in his hand.

"Gee thanks a lot Lulu, I guess Rikku and I will be on our way now," Tidus said as him and Rikku walked towards the front door.

"It's been really wonderful chatting with you guys, see you later," Rikku said in her usual high-pitched voice and headed out the door with Tidus.

"Come on Rikku let's try to hurry up and get home before the storm gets worst," Tidus said as he put his muscular arm around Rikku's shoulders and brought her closer to him so that they could both be underneath the umbrella and stay dry.

When Tidus had put his arm around Rikku's shoulder she got an unusually strange tingly feeling down her spine (and some other places too but that's **censored** ^_^) Rikku had never experienced a guy's touch before. She had always fantasized about how Tidus's touch would feel like, but now she finally knew what it felt like to be touched by him. Rikku was beginning to get romantic thoughts in her head, until a huge thrashing thunderbolt disrupted her out of her thoughts.

"BOOM!!!" The thunder was so loud that it violently shook the ground. Rikku had fell from the vibration and landed hard on her butt.

"Ouch!!!" Rikku yelped in pain.

Tidus had pulled Rikku up off of the wet muddy ground and helped her to her feet.

"Are you alright Rikku?" Tidus kindly asked with a concerned expression on his face.

"Well not really because my butt kind of hurts from that fall," Rikku joked as she rubbed the aching part of her butt.

"Here take this," Tidus said as he handed Rikku the umbrella. Rikku had no idea what Tidus was about to do, but she easily relented and took the umbrella anyway. Tidus kneeled over like a pony and motioned for Rikku to get on his back.

"Get on my back," Tidus said as he looked over his shoulder.

"Ummm. . . are you sure its okay with you?" Rikku asked as she scratched the back of her head.

"I'm positive just get on," Tidus said as he waited for Rikku to get on his back.

"Okay here goes!!!" Rikku yelled as she got ready to pounce on Tidus's back. Rikku had gracefully landed on Tidus's back without slipping off.

"Hey this is pretty cool! Rikku said as she balanced herself on Tidus's back.

"Don't get too adjusted to it, I'm only letting you ride on my back because you hurt your butt." Tidus joked.

For some strange reason, Rikku didn't pay the thunder storm anymore attention. All of her focus was on Tidus right now. Rikku felt like whenever she talked to Tidus he could always seem to relieve her of her grief. He could always make her forget about the bad things and put a genuine smile upon her face. Tidus was really the main reason that kept Rikku hype and cheerful throughout the pilgrimage. Rikku could always depend on Tidus to talk to whenever she had problems. Tidus hadn't noticed, but the whole entire time Rikku had been discreetly staring into his handsome face, marveling his perfect features.

~_~_~_~_~ About 15 minutes later ~_~_~_~_~

Finally they made it home. Tidus had reached in his left pants pocket for the key to the front door. He pulled the key out of his pocket and placed it inside of the keyhole in the door, and then he turned the key and twisted the knob to open the door. Rikku jumped off of Tidus's back and began to stretch out her legs.

"Thanks for letting me ride on your back. . . I really appreciate it," Rikku said as she slightly bowed her head to thank Tidus.

Tidus: "No problem Rikku."

Rikku: "Damn! Yunie still isn't home yet!?"

Tidus: "Nope. . . she usually comes home later on."

Rikku: "Later?. . . But it's already late!"

"Well I just hope that she is here when I wake-up in the morning because I'm too tired to stay awake and wait for her slow butt to come in." "I'm about to go to bed," Rikku said as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Tidus: "Well you could go to bed, but I think I might just stay up until Yuna's back home."

Rikku: "Uh. . .Okay if you say so. . .Goodnight Tidus"

Tidus: "Goodnight Rikku"

~_~_~_~_~IN RIKKU's BEDROOM~_~_~_~_~_~

Rikku had just took a nice hot relaxing bubble bath. She emptied her suitcase and began to search for something to sleep in for the night. She picked out a thin silk white gown. It was really short and almost see through. Rikku didn't mind wearing these types of clothes because it was her kind of style. She slipped the sexy white gown on, and began to pose in the mirror.

Then she got out her pink hairbrush and began to pin up her hair so that it wouldn't be in her face when she lay down. She opened up her drawer and pulled out her favorite body spray called, "White Diamond. Rikku sprayed the body spray all over her body until the whole entire room was full with the beautiful scent. Rikku didn't want to smell good for anyone in particular, she had just admired smelling good and feeling refreshed before she went to bed.

Rikku got into her bed and laid her head on the fluffy pink pillows. Just as soon as she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, a loud thrashing sound startled Rikku and made her jump out of bed.

"Aaaaah! Stupid thunder! How am I suppose to get any shut eye if the damn thunder keeps me awake!? Dammit, now I cant go back to sleep! I'm going to go in Tidus's room and see if he'll let me sleep with him just for tonight. I hope he won't mind."

Rikku slowly walked down the hall to Tidus's bedroom. She was sort of nervous about asking Tidus could she sleep with him for the night because she was afraid that he might say no.

"Well here goes nothing," Rikku told herself as she hesitated to knock on the door.

She took in a deep breath and gently knocked on the door. There was still no response so she knocked on the door a little harder this time. Finally, she got tired of knocking on the door so she decided to slowly ease the door open.

"Tidus are you awake?" Rikku whispered into the dimly lit room.

"Yeah Rikku I'm awake. . . Why is there something wrong?" Tidus asked

"Well uh. . . you see I couldn't go to sleep because the loud thunder storm was keeping me awake so I was just wondering if you would let me sleep with you for tonight," Rikku quickly said in one breath as she stared down nervously at her feet, hoping that Tidus wouldn't say no.

Tidus: "Sure why not, I guess one night wouldn't hurt anybody," Tidus said as he moved over to make more room for Rikku to lay next to him.

As Rikku walked closer to Tidus he had noticed the tight almost see through white gown she was wearing. Tidus had tried to stop staring at Rikku's body but he couldn't help it because she was so damn attractive!

"I wish Yuna had a sexy body like that," Tidus thought to himself as he watched Rikku walk closer towards him.

Tidus had soon realized that he was staring at Rikku's body longer than he had thought because he was starting to get a little turned on. Then Tidus quickly took his gaze off of Rikku, hoping that she didn't notice him staring at her body the whole entire time.

"Whew. . .that's a relief, I thought that you were going to say no," Rikku said as she sighed with relief.

"Uh. . . why do you think I was going to say no?" Tidus asked as he gave Rikku a confused look.

"I thought that you were going to say no because you and Yunie got something going on and I thought that you probably wouldn't want me sleeping in the same room with you," Rikku said as she sat on the edge of the bed next to Tidus.

"Well. . .it's not like we are going to do anything to each other. . .right?" Tidus joked as he started to chuckle.

Rikku tried to force herself to laugh but she just couldn't because deep down inside, Rikku really did want to do something with Tidus(NOTHING NASTY THOUGH). She just wished that her and Tidus could have a bond that was a lot more than just friendship.

"Rikku is everything alright?" Tidus asked when he had noticed that Rikku wasn't laughing, because usually Rikku would always giggle at almost anything. But right now she had a serious face.

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm just a little bored and sleepy that's all," Rikku said as she tried to put on a cheerful smile to cover up her depression so that Tidus wouldn't notice.

"Well if you're bored we could watch DVDs if you want to," Tidus said as he reached for the remote on the wooden dresser adjacent to him.

"COOL! I would love to!" Rikku said as she excitedly jumped into the bed with Tidus.

"So what movie do you want to watch?" Tidus asked as he got out the DVDs for Rikku to pick out whichever one she wanted to watch.

"Um. . .How about this one?" Rikku asked as she picked up a horror movie labeled, "THE RING."

"Are you sure you aren't gonna get scared and chicken-out?" Tidus teased

"Hey you better take that back," Rikku joked as she gently hit Tidus in the head with a pillow.

"OW! Okay okay geez you didn't have to hit me in the head with a pillow," Tidus joked as he put the movie in the DVD player and pressed the play button.

Tidus and Rikku were talking, joking, laughing, and watching the movie at the same time. They were having a really good time together. Rikku had forgotten all about the loud thunderstorm. She was just glad that she was with Tidus. Soon Rikku was beginning to grow extremely tired and exhausted. Without thinking, she gently laid her head on Tidus's bare muscular chest.

"Damn! He smells good and he's warm. I wish that I could stay in this position forever," Rikku thought to herself .

Tidus was shocked that Rikku was lying her head on his chest, although he had to admit that he kind of liked it. Rikku's eyelids were starting to become heavy when finally, she had closed her sleepy eyes and drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Tidus just stared at the young albhed until she was finally asleep.

"Goodnight Rikku.," Tidus softly whispered into the young albhed's ear as he ran his fingers through her pretty blonde hair and gently placed a kiss upon her forehead.
