Wow, sorry for the delay, ladles and gentlespoons. I have done ALL my exams
but have to return to school for 4 weeks during the holiday to start my
A2s. : (
If you fancy a laugh look at the reviews for my story Yuna's Abortion 2 – they are so nasty some of them!
Anyway, regular disclaimer applies.
Nooj ambled along painfully to where Paine sat, wincing on every other step.
"Never thought I'd see you hanging around outside a temple." He said, grateful of the shade provided from the overhang of Besaid temple.
"Very funny," She said, tone calm and serious, "I'm waiting for Baralai." She said, tapping her foot rhythmically.
"Oh...Seen Yuna around?" Paine looked at him slowly and for one second on time Nooj's heart became Paine's. In that moment he would have done anything for her.
"We're not talking, remember?" With a flat feeling Nooj remembered why Paine had ended up helping them.
"Paine!"
"Speak of the shoopuf." Paine murmured, stopping the foot tapping and standing up quickly.
"Why didn't you tell me?! I can't believe you never said a word!" Yuna said, beginning her rant from the entrance of Lulu's house where (unbeknown to Paine) she had just been kicked out. Yuna strode over to Nooj and Paine hands on hips and watched by an annoyed Lulu.
"Tell you what?" Paine said, looking down at Nooj again. For the second time that day Nooj felt his heart flutter against his will.
"That you and Baralai are getting married!" Yuna exploded.
For a whole five seconds everything appeared to go quiet. Nooj was wearing a slack-jawed expression, Paine had raised an eyebrow and Yuna was waiting for an answer, hands on hips.
"...How about because you got me fired?" Paine said, voice deadly calm, cold and in control.
"I NEVER GOT YO-"Noticing everyone else's sudden interest Yuna stalked over to them and began whispering, "I never got you fired, you fired yourself by being nasty to me!"
"Oh, shut up." Paine says, roughly pushing Yuna away from her.
"PAAAAAINE!" Brother shouts running over to her. Obviously he has seen her push Yuna. He keeps running towards the temple, bellowing in a weird mixture of Al Bhed and English and other guttural noises. Nooj stands up quickly and puts a hand on her cool shoulder, not caring if it was inappropriate.
"You can't expect Paine to play like a team player when you don't tell her everything." He blazed, eyes sparking hatred at the Al Bhed behind his glasses.
"Erg, SO?!" He cries, making another run at Paine who stands her ground and draws her sword.
"Paine!" A new voice cries. Seeing the praetor descend the temples steps takes the fight out of Brother who grabs Yuna and leaves. "What was that about?"
She drops her sword with a clang and hugs him hard. "I don't know." She eventually says. Baralai looks at Nooj who is standing alone, holding Paine sword.
"Next time I get her." Brother said to Tidus and Yuna who were lined up on the beach. Brother was pacing around, swinging his arms and shouting at the children brave enough to come near him. Tidus looked down at Yuna who shrugged back at him. Buddy emerged from the tree he had been inspecting and came over to join the group.
"We're very glad to meet you and all" he began looking at Tidus "but what are you going to do?" He said to Yuna who looked quickly at her feet.
"I mean, we'll be happy for you to stay – even though we will miss you, but..."
Once he had stopped his clumsy speech Yuna smiled, "I'll come with you."
All three of the men were surprised.
"I thought you were going to stay with me." Tidus said, hurt that she seemed to have missed him out of her equations.
"Yeah, but I like being a sphere hunter. And I don't need you tagging along, either." She said quickly, seeing his facial expression change.
"Well, it doesn't have to be that way, Yuna." Buddy said, arranging his goggles, "with Paine gone we need a third fighter."
"Great! Just don't fire me, ok?" He said charmingly.
"Tch, fine." Brother said from his position on the floor.
"...And she was moping because you and she are no longer friends."
The Black mage looked at the female warrior who was sitting opposite her on the floor. The coffee table was littered with cups, dummies, papers, a little bit of beach life really. Including a gutted fish. Paine looked at the fish with some amusement.
"...Oh." Idly she picked up the knife and proceeded to complete the gutting better than the person who had started it had done.
"So, I hear you and the Praetor Baralai are to be wed. I'm not usually one for gossip but this is extraordinary."
"That's right." Paine said lightly, tossing the fish guts into a nearby bin.
"Well, good luck." Lulu said, wishing for there to be someday, a daughter of hers like Paine.
Up on the promontory Brother can see Paine coming, hopping from one foot to the other he looks at her until she draws level with him.
"Hello, Brother."
Now, I must prepare for my A2s! (Has anyone seen Final Fantasy Unlimited? It is the best piece of animé ever!)
