"Fricking mirrors!" Rikk cursed, getting turned around for the eighth time. She could almost swear that she had been down this particular hallway at least nine times. But then again, since everything pretty much looked the same regardless of which door she went through, that wasn't that reliable of a number.
"Welcome, Midori," a woman's voice floated down the hall.
"Get bent!" Rikk retaliated. "My name is Rikk!" Mentally, she froze. Had she just refered to herself as 'Rikk'? Wasn't her name really 'Rikku'? Was she getting used to the fact that she was her own person now?
"Don't lie to me. I know who you are," Shiroi snarled, stepping into view. Her image reflected on the mirrors, giving the impression of at least fifteen tall, black haired women dressed in form fitting black leather.
Rikk laughed. "Of course... you're right, you know. My name is actually Rikku. Fancy that, it ain't 'Midori'. You friends with that bastard, Akira?"
Shiroi flushed slightly. "Lord Akira is no bastard," she said sharpely. "And you are Midori." She crossed her arms over her stomach, showing complete confidence in her opinion.
"Whatever, do you know the way out of here?" Rikk asked. "Oh, and who the fsck are you anyway?"
Shiroi glowered. "I am Shiroi White, the one who will destroy -"
"You know the way out?" Rikk demanded. "Fine, then we'll fight." She pulled her sword, opting to battle in Warrior mode; being a Dark Knight just caused way too much trouble. She was in a snipy mood; getting seperated from Rikku had been fustrating enough; however, it was Rikki that she was worried about. The 'sexy' blond was probably in tons of trouble at the moment.
Shiroi drew Lost Nightmare, holding the handle in a firm but not tight grip. "You'll die," she promised.
"I'd say, 'You first,' but then, that's already obvious. You're already dead," Rikk responded. If there was one thing that she was good at, it was verbal abuse and maintaining a superior attitude...
Shiroi moved across the hall, black sword curving in a deadly upwards arc. She had been counting on the mirrors to confuse 'Midori' and add an element of surprise to her attack, but she didn't have any such luck.
Rikk dropped her own sword, blocking the inital strike with apparent ease. The fight was on, now all that remained was to see who would emmerge victorious.
================================================================
It was Brother who delivered the new. "Yuna's baby... have you seen him?"
"Who? Toya?" Rikku-san asked, keeping things as short as possible.
"Aghhhh! Of course, Yuna only has one baby!" Brother snarled, grabbing his head furiously.
"So?" Rikku-san probbed, pulling herself out of bed.
"The baby is missing!" Brother roared hotly.
Rikku-san frowned. "Why did they leave you in charge of the baby in the first place?" she asked suspiciously. "You didn't snag him from his crib... did you?"
"Of course not!" Brother objected to her accusation. "You need to help me find him -"
"So... why did they leave you in charge of Toya?" Rikku-san interjected. "That's screams of stupidity -"
"Isn't it obvious?" Buddy asked from the doorway. He was leaning on the frame with his arms crossed.
"If it were obvious, I wouldn't have asked because.... in case you hadn't noticed... I'm rather lazy!" Rikku-san said, yawning mid-way through her sentence.
"Yuna and Tidus left Brother, Shinra, and me in charge of Toya," Buddy explained. "Because they're in their meeting with Baralai in the engine room."
"That still doesn't make sense," Rikku-san objected. "What kind of meeting are they having?"
"I don't know, but it's got something to do with Sin," Buddy said with a serious expression on his face.
"Baralai thinks that he's being revived!" Brother exclaimed. "I was evesdropping on their conversation -"
"Shinra and Buddy with you?" Rikku-san asked. She started fastening her accesory belts on, checking and making sure her guns were in tip-top shape at the same time.
"Of course!" Brother exclaimed.
"No, of course not," Buddy responded.
"You left him all alone?" Rikku-san asked incredulously.
"YES!" Brother snapped. "What did I just say?"
"NO!" Buddy blurted out. "Don't listen to Brother!"
"Come on, let's search the ship," Rikku-san said tightly, glowering at both of them. And make Shinra help..."
================================================================
The Maester presided over the meeting. "Have you gotten them to leave for the Forbidden Continent yet?" he demanded.
Agent 12 shook his head quickly. "No... my plan backfired, Maester -"
"What type of plan was that?" Alcione demanded.
"To kidnap the child of High Summoner Yuna and the blitzer, Tidus," Agent 12 answered.
"And your reasons for failing are?" Alcione demanded. "Did his parents fight you to a stand still?"
"They shouldn't have been able to," a new male voice announced.
"Agent 11, report," Maester ordered. "Did you assassionate that lousy... 'Praeter'?"
"No, Maester," he escapped with his life," Agent 11 answered. He was silent for a moment. "Akira was in the city..."
"I'm going to pretend that you didn't just mention that name," Maester snarled viciously. He turned his attention to Lenne, who was kneeling silently, listening to the conversation. "Agent 113?" he made her name a question.
"They are on their way to the Forbidden Continent as we speak," Lenne answered. "I've set their ship on auto-pilot... they won't know where they're going until they arrive," she promised.
"Very well, Agent 113, you are dismissed; Agent's 11 and 12 should follow your example," Alcioine said sharply.
"M'lady," Lenne said, bowing her head and backing out of the room. She returned to her room quickly, slipping in. The sound of soft crying met her ears as she opened the sound-proof door.
She crossed the floor and drew the child into her arms. "I know... you want to be with your parents, don't you?" she murmured, rocking the baby gently. "That just isn't going to be possible for a little while... One of my 'co-workers' plans to use you to decieve your parents..." her voice trailed off and she laughed slightly. "But then... just what am I doing?"
She started humming, soothing the child in her arms. "I'll make sure you get back where you belong," she promised.
================================================================
"You know... it looks like they didn't come..." Rikku-sama announced.
Shuyin froze. "What?" he asked softly.
They all went into the Temple -" Rikku-chan answered, cutting herself off when he glance at her sharply. She started tearing up almost instantly.
Shuyin closed his eyes, counting softly to ten under his breath. "We'll have to go in after them," he murmured. He reached out and rubbed Rikku-chan's arm reassuringly.
She glanced at him with tear-filled eyes.
"Sorry about the death glare," he offered.
"I say, 'They made their bed, let them sleep in it,'" Rikku-sama announced.
"And if they die in there?" Shuyin asked. "Will you be able to sleep in your bed knowing that you might have been able to help?"
Rikku-sama was silent.
"I'm going!" Ri exclaimed. She hurried through the door without waiting for anyone else.
Shuyin caught her by the back of her shirt, halting her. "We're all going; let's stick together as a group though... I seem to remember this place being something of a maze..."
"A-a-all g-g-going?" Ri stammered.
"Yeah," Rikku-sama murmured. "Shuyin's right, I couldn't sleep in my bed if they all died in there..."
"I'm going too!" Rikku-chan exclaimed, resisting the urge to take Shuyin's hand.
"So... we all hold hands while gong through doors so we stay together as a group-" Shuyin started saying.
"No... I'm going to tie us together with some rope," Rikku-sama said. "We might need to use our hands..."
Several moments later, they opened the first mirrored door and stepped through.
================================================================
The sound of swords clashing resonated through the air. Shiroi and Rikk broke apart, both of them breathing heavily.
"Not bad," Shiroi breathed. "But you could be -"
Rikk snapped a well placed kick into Shiroi's hand, sending Lost Nightmare flying. Following it with a spinning kick, she brought her sword down towards Shiroi's neck. "What are you talking about?" she asked sweetly.
Lost Nightmare slammed into a panel of mirror, revealing a dark stairway spiralling down. Rikk smiled. "Looks like I don't need you after all," she said.
"Fsck you, Midori," Shiroi gasped, clutching her hand to her chest.
Rikk didn't answer.
"You trying to prove some-fscking thing?" Shiroi continued. "Trying to prove that you can beat me in any damned field of combat? Use your magic, why don't you?"
"Is Midori a magic user?" Rikk asked, lowering her blade to Shiroi's throat. "To tell you the truth; I'm not sure what kind of relationship -" She cut her words off abruptly, jumping into the air and blocking Lost Nightmare with her sword.
"That's my sword's power, it'll always come back to my hand," Shiroi said, backing away from Rikk with the sword in her hand again.
Rikk watched her opponents leg muscles tense and smiled. "You're telegraphing," she announced, sprining foreward to meet Shiroi's lunge. "Obvious," she said confidentally.
Shiroi didn't answer this time. She swung her blade up in an arc, aiming to take off the other warrior's head. "Akira will aknowledge me!" she shouted.
"I doubt it," Rikk answered. She launched her own offensive, aiming mostly for the Unsent warrior's hands.
Shiroi blocked the next attacks, but missed the last one, getting a deep cut on her sword hand. "What are you playing at?"
"THERE YOU ARE!" Rikki's voice echoed down the corridor, sounding more than a little flustered and irritated. "And look at what you just did; you barbarian!" she added.
Rikk crossed her arms arogantly. "Rikki, I see you finally decided not to get your lazy -"
"I prefer the term 'sexy', I'm not a barbarian like you. What's more, I'm not lazy like Ms. San either," Rikki said, evaulating the situation carefully.
"That's Rikku-san to you," Rikk answered. "This is Shiroi, she's got some wild ideas about liking that idiot, Akira. She thinks we're Shuyin's sister, Midori."
Rikki nodded her head slightly. "You know, I beginning to really hate that name. Besides, I think Rikku-chan's got the hots for Shuyin. She likes him... it'd be odd if she were his sister, ne?"
"I agree," Rikk said. "I wonder -"
"Stop it!" Shiroi exclaimed. "And explain to me this instant why there are two Midoris!"
Rikki swayed over to her, appraising her. "Well... there's probably only one, to tell you the truth, honey -"
"I. AM. NOT. YOU'RE. HONEY!" Shiroi said forcefully.
"Whaever, it's just a saying -"
A pane of mirrored glass shattered to the floor, distracting her from finishing her sentence. Shuyin glanced back at Rikku-sama and replaced his sword. "I'm impressed," he told her.
"It was a simple problem for someone of my intelligence," Rikku-sama said happily. "All I had to do was Scan the walls to find their weaknesses." She readjusted her gun and glanced around the room. "You want to know something else?"
"What?" Rikku-chan murmured.
"That woman there... she's Unsent," Rikku-sama said promptly. "And that passage leads down -"
"Obviously," Rikk said dryly. "I thought you wimps were staying outside."
Ri shook her head. "No, actually we decided to -"
"Lady Shiroi White, unless I'm mistaken," Shuyin murmured.
Her eyes lingered on him for a moment, then Shiroi sheathed her sword. "Shuyin, is this Midori?" she asked.
He shook his head. "No."
"Then I have no quarell with you five quinteplets," she said softly.
"Excuse me... we're all the same person," Rikk said. "And there are seven of us; meaning that you were defeated by one seventh of a flake - the part that wasn't flaky, but still... that's pretty lame."
"You didn't beat me," Shiroi objected.
"Oh yes, I did," Rikk answered.
"Ignore her, she's ignorant and jealous!" Rikki exclaimed, catching Shiroi by her hand. "So... how do you know, Shuyin?"
"Jealous? Of what?" Rikk demanded.
"That I'm not the only person more beautiul than you -" Rikki purred in delight. "I have to say that Miss Shiroi here is pretty awesome -"
"You think so?" Shiroi whispered. "Akira didn't think so... he said -"
"You mean AKIRA-the monkey?" Rikki said flippantly. "He's crazy; lost his mind." She made a swirling motion with her finger. "Not straight in the head. At least you're listening when we say we ain't Midori!"
Shiroi started crying. "It's not fair..." she murmured, burying her face in Rikki's chest. "I just wanted him to love me!"
"Guys are jerks -" Rikki started saying.
"Kiss me!" Shiroi blurted out. Moments later, she pressed her mouth up against Rikki's, letting the kiss linger for several moments.
"Ewwww!" Rikki shrieked. "Let's get this straight Shiroi, honey! Guys may be jerks, but they're still my sexual preference."
Rikk laughed. "Getting your compupence for always tormenting Ri, aren't you?"
Rikki glanced at Rikk sourly. Shiroi was still hugging her and it was starting to make the sexy blond uncomfortable.
"Let's back up here a second," Rikku-sama said, pulling Shiroi back. "Who are you exactelly?"
"My name is Shiroi White -"
"Ooooh! I'm free!" Rikki exclaimed. "Must... get... rid ... of girly... taste!"
"Get rid of girly taste?" Rikk questioned.
Rikki tackled Shuyin, slamming him into the ground and kissing him forcefully. "Now you try," she told Shiroi.
"He's my enemy's brother, I'm not going to kiss him anymore then I'd kiss his brother, Tidus -"
"Back up, who did you say?" Ri exclaimed.
"I said I won't kiss Shuyin or Tidus because Midori -" Shiroi started to reenact.
"Tidus isn't real," Rikku-sama said into the silence. "Shuyin... you care to explain anything?"
"My twin brother's name is Tidus... why wouldn't he be real?" Shuyin asked from the flat of his back. "Rikki would you get off of me now?"
Silence met his request.
================================================================
Author's notes; I'm really sorry about forgetting to put the baby's name in the last chapter... I couldn't think of anything, so I was going to come back once everything was done. The only problem was I forgot to come back. Meaning, no name for Yuna's baby.
You'll also notice that Rikku didn't make an appearence in this chapter. Well, I forgot about her... she'll be back in the next chapter, honest.... I couldn't think of a good way to work her in this time...
Next Chapter; Tidus is Shuyin's brother? But isn't he just a dream? Stumped and baffled, the Rikku-gumi search for an answer. Meanwhile, the Celsius arrives on the Forbidden Continent, falling into the evil plans of the Maester. What will happen next? Find out in the next exciting chapter of CHAOS OF SEVEN!
