Two Worlds: Chapter 3
A/N: Please review.
Disclaimer: Maybe I do own FFX... Maybe I don't.
I swim under, frantically looking for Rikku everywhere before giving up and going to the surface. I take a deep breath, looking around for any sign of Sin, Tidus and Rikku...
Nothing.
My shoulders sag in despair as I realize that I'm in the middle of nowhere with no one who can understand what I'm saying. Also that the only one who could translate for me was just taken by Sin. I swim up to the boat, grabbing the rope and hauling myself up with it since I have the feeling these Al Bhed won't do it for me.
I see hands grab the rope, hauling me up as I feel a twinge of gratitude. Maybe they're not so bad after all, I think. I grab the railing and vault over it, standing dripping on the deck as Brother unhooks the rope. "Thanks" I say with an appreciative look to Brother who just nods.
"Frana ec Rikku?" Brother asks, sounding concerned as I stand there, dripping wet and wishing I had a translator to understand what he just said.
This is starting to get a tad annoying, I think as I wring my hair out, trying to get it to dry faster. At least guesswork is doing wonders for me on what they're saying. "I don't know... I think she went with Tidus, into sin." I say, knowing now what the toxin from sin can do to someone, and feeling depressed that Rikku might be in trouble with that, not to mention Tidus.
Also, the fact that Sin brought us here in the first place, a thousand years in the future. Who knows what will happen this time.
Brother looks away, and I can tell that he is worried and sad about Rikku as he starts to walk back inside the ship.
I wonder if they can actually understand what I'm saying, at least sometimes.
I hesitantly follow the group led by Brother to the inside of the ship, only to be shoved back, clearly meaning that I was still forced to live on the deck for now.
Depressed, I sit on the deck and hope that Tidus and Rikku are having more fun than I am right now.
Rikku's POV
I wake up, finding myself in the water after diving after Tidus into that whirlpool to help him.
I look around, realizing I'm no longer at the salvage ship or anywhere near the area. I'm near Besaid, one of the Yevon's more loyal towns.
I start to worry, this could be trouble, I think fast as I remove my wetsuit, undoing all the buckles and straps. As the wetsuit floats away, showing my regular clothes underneath.
Well... I just hope they don't look at my eyes, I think cheerfully as Tidus jolts awake next to me, looking around.
"What happened? Where's Sara and everyone?" He asks, seeing the deserted beach in front of him.
"Don't know where Sara is, but I'm sure she'll be okay!" I say cheerfully, even though Brother can be a bit inhospitable with his buddies around, I think, worrying a little. "Oh yeah, don't mention I'm Al Bhed around here. This is the island of Besaid, they don't like us Al Bhed much." I say, hoping I got my point across.
Tidus nods, still looking a little clueless and confused about this whole Spira thing. "Okay..." he says, not asking anymore about it.
I feel sympathy to him, poor guy, that toxin seems to be really bad. I think, swimming towards the shore and wondering why I wasn't affected. It's better this way! I shouldn't complain!
We walk to shore, seeing a group to coming from the path to meet us, and I recognize them as the Besaid Aurochs, the most infamous team in the blitzball league for losing every game that they have ever been in.
Tidus waves to them cheerfully, looking even happier to see that they're carrying blitballs, "Hey!" He yells, catching a blitzball the captain of the team, who I recognize from the sphere cams during the tournament as Wakka throws at Tidus.
He does this incredible shot, that even I can tell, not knowing much about blitzball, that he's good. He smirks as we swim to shore, and I can tell he's relishing the fact that he knows something about Spira.
He's good, I think as he shows off more, too bad we didn't stay on the salvage ship, he would be a great teammate for the Al Bhed Psyches.
I can tell Wakka is also impressed, and asks Tidus what team he's from.
Don't tell him Zanarkand, I plead silently, knowing how much trouble we could get in from him saying that answer.
"The Zanarkand Abes!!!" Tidus says proudly and a note braggart in his voice as I cringe and shake my head from his response.
I could tell from their shocked reactions that they weren't expecting that type of answer.
Tidus looks like a deer in headlights as he tries to correct it, "I meant... Um.. I got close to Sin!! So... I don't remember anything." He sounds sad as he says the last words, and I sympathize with him on how he must feel.
"You were close to Sin, and you survived, praise be to Yevon." Wakka says, doing the prayer sign with the rest of the team as I cringe with worry about how they're going to react to me, an Al Bhed since they seem to be Yevonites. "I'm Wakka, player and captain of the Besaid Aurochs, brudda!"
"I'm Tidus!" And they clasp hands together as I watch.
Wakka turns to me, a warm smile on his face as he offers his hand, "and you are?"
I say a little nervously: "Rikku." Hoping to not get a horrible reaction if they recognize me as an Al Bhed.
"Nice to meet you, Rikku! Welcome to Besaid! I take it you got here the same way Tidus, ya?" He says with a smile, and I relax, thinking that this won't be bad at all.
I might be able to save the summoners this way, also, if these Aurochs are traveling to Luca.
Sara's POV
I shiver, sitting on the deck with my arms wrapped around myself as the sun sets.
Man... It's cold.
Also, the fact I haven't eaten in who knows how long is starting to get to me too.
I rub my arms, thinking about the warm interior and feeling depressed thinking about being stuck outside. Then I hear the door open as I look up from the only sheltered area on the whole deck to see Brother staring at me, "hey..." I say, tugging on my now braided hair.
"Hey," he says, struggling over the word as I nearly fall over in surprise at the fact that he can speak English. Not well, but still that he can speak it.
He looks at me rubbing my arms, actually looking concerned as I continue to shiver. He wordlessly gestures me to follow him as I follow him inside the ship, wondering if they will be more hospitable now that Brother seems to have let me inside their ship.
"Thanks," I say politely and gratefully as he just grunts and gestures to the sleeping quarters.
"Fred ec cra tuehk rana?!" One of the other Al Bhed demands, as I back away a little nervously from his glare of loathing.
"Cra ec cdyaehk rana! Ed'c lumt uid!!!" Brother says, and I can tell from the edge of his voice that there's no room for argument.
The other Al Bhed just glares, then says: "Cid ech'k du pa rebby fedr oui!!!" He shouts, storming off. "Gaab cra efeo vnus sa!"
Brother glares at the Al Bhed storming off, then lets me in to a room, pointing to the lone bunk in the room, and walking outside, a click of the lock on the door after him.
I sigh and sit down on the bed, wondering what kind of trouble I have gotten myself into.
TBC...
A/N: Well.... Tidus and Rikku are at Besaid, and Sara is with the Al Bhed. Do you think the tides will turn for Sara, more than just the place to sleep that's not the deck.
Translations:
"Frana ec Rikku?": "Where is Rikku?"
"Fred ec cra tuehk rana?!": "What is she doing here?!"
"Cra ec cdyaehk rana! Ed'c lumt uid!!!": "She is staying here! It's cold out!!!"
"Cid ech'd kuehk du pa rebby fedr oui!!!": "Cid isn't going to be happy with you!"
"Gaab cra efeo vnus sa!": "Keep her away from me!"
