A/N I got detention! I'm a good girl! I don't get detention! And it's with my year head! Just because I was half a minute late for music! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( I cant remember what happened last time. I'm soooooo sorry these last chapters are late! Sooo sorry! I hate it when you have to wait for ages for the next chappie! I'm very very sorry! :]
Yuna waited for Rikku to come back. And waited. And waited. She was starting to get angry. "Where is she?" "She's probably just lost track of time. Don't worry." Yuna looked at Tidus. "Don't worry? Don't worry! How can I not worry! My cousins disappeared!" "She's only an hour late Yuna." Paine was used to a crazy Rikku, but Yuna was normally so laid back. It was different. "Only? Only!" "Can you please stop talking like that." Paine did the only thing she could in these situations. Her natural sarcasm kicked in. "You're never going to find her if you just stand here talking about it." Tidus pointed out. Yuna thought about it for a sec. "Buddy, take us to the moonflow!"
Yuna stepped out. "Wow! What happened?" Yuna looked around her. The hypello were sitting around a fire. The shoopuff was no where to be seen. The whole Warf was destroyed. "Yikes! What happened here?" Tidus asked one of the hypello. "There wash a big wave. Sho powerful! The blonde girl, she wash hurt. But we closhed our eyesh, and she wash gone!" "Rikku! We have to find her!" "Do you know what the 'wave' was?" Paine asked him. He didn't answer her. Yuna was now hyperventilating. (That's so scary when it happens. My friend started hyperventilating after PE. She's not back at school yet. Get well soon Claireabell! :p) Tidus looked over at her. "Calm down! We'll find her! Just don't have a heart attack!" "Let's go talk to Gippal. He was with her. Maybe he'll know what happened." Yuna nodded at Paine. But she was still going crazy.
Tidus sat with Yuna. He was trying to calm her down, but was failing miserably. She couldn't stop crying. They were heading towards Djose temple. Paine stood in the bridge. She didn't want to disturb Tidus and Yuna. She thought they would prefer to be alone. She watched as Brother shouted at Buddy. "Hurry up! I'm going to find out what that idiot Gippal has done to my sister!" "I'm going as fast as I can!" Paine felt sorry for Buddy, having to be around Brother all the time. "What do you have against Gippal anyway?" she asked him. "That back stabber stole my first crush!" Paine raised her eyebrows. "Even if he didn't do you think you would have a chance?" Buddy laughed. Brother turned away, hurt by Paine's words. Paine smirked. She looked out the window. "We're almost there." She murmured to herself.
Paine stepped out into Djose. Yuna and Tidus had stayed behind. Yuna wasn't taking this well at all. Paine would have expected Rikku to react like this, but not Yuna. She walked across and entered. There was that cave again. That horrible cave. She walked past it with a shudder. She walked over to Gippal's room and knocked on the door. "Come in, but be quiet! I don't want to have to keep telling you! Gippal can't take all of our problems you know! Not like this!" Paine blinked. What the hell was this guy on about? She walked in. "Oh sorry! I thought you were an employee." Paine shook her head. "What happened to Gippal?" "We found him on the moonflow like this. He's sleeping at the moment. He's pretty much ok, just needs rest you know?" Paine nodded. She bent down beside him. Gippal's face changed a little when her shadow fell across him. He opened his eyes. "Paine" he croaked with a smile. She smiled back at him. "Do you know where Rikku is?" she asked him. No point beating around the bush. "She's not with you?" Paine shook her head. Gippal looked worried for a moment, but then, to her annoyance, he fell asleep again. Didn't he care? "We have heard nothing about her. We didn't even know she was missing. Sorry." Paine smiled at him and nodded. There was no point wasting words on either of them.
As she was walking out, her attention was drawn to the cave. She didn't know what, or why, but something seemed to tell her to go in there. She didn't want to, but she couldn't ignore the feeling. She pulled out her sword and jumped in. "Ugh." It was so damp down there! She pulled a face and carried on walking. She ran in to a few fiends, nothing serious, when she saw a figure on the floor. She held on tighter to the handle of her sword, and walked closer. It was pretty dark down there, but as soon as she got closer she knew it was Rikku. She gasped and picked her up. She was unconscious. But worse than that, it looked like she was dying.
A/N ok! We are getting somewhere! Is Rikku dying? What will Yunie do when she sees her! And will Gippal ever wake up!? Find out next time...:p
He says that if you talk to him in chapter 3 after Besaid and Kilika. No ones mentioned that!
