Chaos Of Seven
Chapter Seventeen
By; Kissa-chan
================================================================
The timer was suddenly the last thing on their minds. In fact, there was nothing in their minds except an odd sort of buzzing that comes with a great shock. Tidus, Yuna, Paine, and Baralai didn't say anything. They had dropped their fighting stances and were staring open-mouthed at the five blond Rikkus that had just strolled through the door.
Shiroi was equally frozen. She already knew about the Rikku-gumi; however, she hadn't expected them all to come strolling nonchalantly through the doors. She hadn't expected them to reveal their identies to easily.
For their part, the Rikkus were having one of those moments where everyone tries to think up something at once... and as a result everyone's story and actions contridict each other.
Rikku-sama started the chaos. (Although she had come up with an excuse that would have preserved their secrete. "Thanks for letting us borrow the garment grids you lent us, Rikku," she said to Rikk.
At the same time, Rikku slammed a flash bomb down into the middle of the room.
Rikku-chan started a Darkness Dance to blind the Gullwings and Baralai.
"Let's get out of here before they recognize us!" Rikki declared.
"Brilliant, Rikki, just brilliant," Rikk intoned dryly. "Even if they hadn't recognized us, don't you think you're stupid words would have given us away?"
"We can't leave!" Rikku protested. "We have to save Ri!"
"Err... That's all great and all, but -" Rikku-san started to say.
"Rikku? Is that you?" Tidus called out. "What's going on here?"
"NOTHING!" all the Rikkus answered at once.
"Shut-up. He's going to hear you," Rikki hissed to Rikk.
"But she's supposed to answer. The rest of us are supposed to be quiet and pretend that we {hiccup} don't exist," Rikku-chan sobbed.
"That who doesn't exist?" Paine's voice cut like a whip through the disipating remains of the flashbomb.
"Good going," Rikk said sarcastically.
"Rikku? Are you okay?" Yuna asked in concern, catching Rikki and Rikku-san by their arms.
"LeBlanc?" Rikki questioned. She looked around quickly and noticed for the first time that Paine and Tidus were the only ones that should have been there. "What happened to Yunie?" she demanded.
"Ekkk! And why isn't your hip twitching?" Rikku added. "You know, that horrible hiptwitchy thingie that you get going and can't seem to stop. Oooooh! And you're accent is gone!"
"It is me," Yuna exclaimed.
"You mean all that idiocy was just an act?" Rikki demanded. She poked Yuna's side and smirked. "My abbs aren't all squishy like yours LeBlanc. I have firm, toned, sexy abbs -"
"That is Yuna." Rikk crossed her arms and leaned back against a wall.
"But how...?" Rikku-chan asked.
"What about Baralai? Did he borrow a garment grid too?" Rikku-sama asked, curiousity forcing her to halt her attempts to keep anyone from discovering what they were up to.
"I'm here," Baralai answered with a blush, raising one hand.
Rikki pulled loose from Yuna and tackled him. "Oh my goodness!" she purred. "You have boobies!" She put one hand over each and started to jiggle his chest.
"I thought you didn't like girls, Rikki," Shiroi said instantly.
"Baralai's mine, so go away!" Rikki declared. "And anyway, he's a boy."
"Regardless -" Paine started to say.
"You and Baralai are a couple, right?" Rikku-san interjected. "So why aren't you at least taking respect points away from Rikki for assaulting his chest. You could try and defend him a little bit. Don't you think so?"
Paine looked startled. "Get off of him," she said distractedly.
"He is your fiance... according to the rumours," Rikku-sama added.
Rikku's eyes went as wide as saucours. "You're getting married!" She turned to look at the others with a shocked look on her face. "Did all of you know?"
"No..." Rikku-chan sniffed. "No body ever tells me anything... And where is Shuyin!"
Shuyin stepped away from where he had been observing everything. "I guess you all got caught."
"That's not important!" Rikku exclaimed. "We need to know...." She whirled towards Paine and caught the older girl's hand. "Tell me. Are the rumours true? Are you getting married."
Paine looked even more uncomfortable. "I.... we...."
"You don't have to tell them," Baralai said, finally reclaiming his feet. He looked extremely flustered.
"But what happened!" Yuna exclaimed. "You... all of you... are you truly my cousin? Err... cousins?"
"I'm Rikku," Rikku began after a brief moment. "I guess I'm the one to blame for all of this..."
"I'm Rikk," came response from behind Paine. Rikk sighed and tossed her head slightly. "I use to be part of Rikku. Now I'm my own person."
"And she's not evil!" Rikku added quickly, her mind flashing back to Haara's words.
"Except when she pushes me in the mud, river, ect... ect... But even then, it's not Seymour Level Evil or SLE as I like to call it."
"Really Rikki? I hadn't heard," Rikk said flately.
"Rikku-san will do if you must drag me from a blissful slumber," the lazy one said with a yawn.
"I'm the smart one," Rikku-sama said softly. "Rikku-sama is the name I choose to go by."
"This is Rikku-chan," Shuyin said, dropping a hand on her shoulders and startling the crying blond.
"Shu... yin," she sniffed. "I coulda've introduced myself, you know."
Shuyin grinned. "I know. I was just giving you a helping hand."
"Uhm... okay," Rikku-chan said softly. She took his hand and held it gently.
"So I have six cousins... and five of them are running around with.... Shuyin?" Yuna managed to stammer.
"There's seven of us. Ri is sick from when we rescued Nooj. In order to recieve help, we have to Seal Yu Yevon," Rikku-sama explained shortly.
"Who's Shuyin?" Tidus asked.
"Your brother," Rikku-chan said promptly.
"Ahhh... actually, he shouldn't know that," Shuyin said quickly.
"Why not?" Paine asked dryly.
Rikk blinked, the words stolen from her mouth.
"Our mother couldn't handle to kids, so I was given up for adoption," Shuyin answered. "I knew, our Mom knew, our Dad knew, but... Tidus never was told."
"Why not?" Yuna asked softly.
"That's a story for another time," Rikk said. "We have a couple of missions to carry out. And as Shiroi pointed out. We are being timed."
"Back up to the part where you have to Seal Yu Yevon," Baralai started to say. Then the floor gave out underneath them.
================================================================
Tamurin wet his lips in anticipation. Several more people had entered the room; however, non of them were Baralai, praeter of New Yevon. That meant that none of them were his target.
What was even more surprising was the fact that Yuna hadn't arrived either. It had been her child that had been abducted by Lenne, therefore, it stood to reason that she should have been the one making sure that he returned home safely...
And yet both of them were absent...
Then there was the abundence of Rikkus. It seemed as if the ditzy Gullwing had found a way to clone herself and had decided to carry through...
He activated his comm. "Maester, this is Agent 11. Yuna and Baralai didn't arrive with the main force. I await your orders."
Yu Yevon snarled furiously over the comm. "Destroy them all. I only need Yuna alive and only as long as it take to render her a Fayth. You will not kill Yuna."
Tammurin nodded his head. "Understood." He keyed out before he could recieve additional orders. Being forced to work for SRC (Sin Revival Cult) wrought havoc on his principals. He liked being able to make his own choices; however, the Spell of Obedience held him fast to Yu Yevon and Alcione's orders.
He activated the controls for the floor and watched the blocks crumble away. He would kill them all... one-by-one.
================================================================
Rikku landed hard on her butt. "OOOooowwww!" she shouted in irritated pain. She looked around, worrying about how the others would land. A one person prision cell met her eyes. "Oh no..." she breathed.
The cell had only one door - a mere set of sturdy iron bars. She walked up to them with no regard for caution and siezed two of them with a tight grip. "Hello! Are the rest of you down here?" she called out.
A large arena stretched out before her. Dotting the dirt covered floor were large pieces of the floor they had been standing on. They were floating slowly upward, clicking back into place like a jig-saw puzzel.
A lone figure strolled into the center of the arena. "Greetings," the man's voice emerged. "I am to be your executioner."
Rikku blinked. "Like hell!"
Paine's voice came from slightly to her left. "Is that a really fake guado mask?"
"It is... and so was that idiot that gave me the Sphere Map," Rikk answered in amazement. "I should have noticed that."
"Forget about that," Rikki proclaimed in honeyed tones. "You do realize how unsexy that mask is... don't you?"
"A requirement from my leader. I'm not to be seen by any who might recognize me as a former citizen of the Farplane," Tammurin responded. He removed the mask and the rest of the guado costume. "Since you are all to die here, I needn't worry about maintaining it."
He looked slightly like Akira. His hair was the same black and green, although his was cut close to his scalp. His eyes were more gold then black and had a slightly glittery look to them; they didn't hold the mad glint of chaos that Akira's did.
Removing the last of the costume, he pulled a long lightning shaped blade and a short dagger of the same design from their sheaths.
"And who is your leader?" Yuna asked, ignoring his brief weapons display.
Tammurin's eyes narrowed for a moment, then he laughed softly. "My leader is the Maester, My Lady," he said with a sweeping bow. At the same time, he put both blades away and activated his comm. In a voice too low for anyone to hear, he said, "Lady Yuna is disguised as LeBlanc. She is in Cell 'C'. I will kill the others. Come and get her as soon as you're ready, Maester."
Yu Yevon scowled over the comm. "You bastard!" he snapped. "Don't you realize who you're talking to? Slaughter the others then bring Yuna to me."
Tammurin turned off the comm. "Who will challenge me first?"
"I will," Yuna said promptly.
"Or should I choose myself?" he mused. It wouldn't do him any good if they thought that he was spareing Yuna's life. His eyes fell on Rikku-chan. "Maybe her..." he murmured, voice trailing off.
In time with his words, Rikku-chan's cell slid open, freeing her to walk into the center of the arena.
From their thoughts, Tammurin could tell that the one he had picked would be the easiest to kill. He initiated the command to lock her cell again. Killing the weak one would just enrage the others; making them stronger.
"Or maybe -"
"Goodness," Rikki breathed, interrrupting him with her breathy tones.
He cocked his head, glancing at her.
"My, my, my... aren't you an attractive man?" she murmured. "Are you single? Married? Dating?"
"He's dead, you ditz," Rikk snapped.
"Minus two respect points, Rikki," Paine added in equally hositle tones. "Rikk's right. He's dead and our enemy."
"Plus he looks like Akira!" Rikku-chan added.
"That's because he's..." Shuyin's voice trailed off. "When anyone fights him, you have to blank your minds. He's a telepath."
"Use smaller words," Rikku suggested.
"It means he can read minds," Rikku-sama spoke up. "I already know that. His name is Tammurin Oblivion - yes, that is his last name - and he can read minds."
"That's horrible!" Rikku-chan sniffed.
"That means our disguises are useless -"
"Keep it on," Rikk snapped to Baralai. "After we defeat him, no one will know who we are anymore and we can all put on disguises and take out his boss."
"Unless he's the one in command, you know," Rikku said.
"Hello, of you consumer of stupid pills, he said that his boss makes him wear that mask. That makes him a minion!" Rikk snapped.
"Anyway, when he fights, the person he's in combat against should blank her mind. At the same time, everyone else should think thoughts towards him as hard as you can. It might throw off his concentration."
"But he's a stud!" Rikki gushed, oblivious to the plan.
Tammurin shook his head slightly. "You certainly do like talking, don't you?" he inquired.
"Talking is nice, but touching is better," Rikki answered in a purring voice. "Why don't you and me find a bed somewhere and take off all our clothes? Then we can lie naked in -"
"Rikki!" Yuna gasped. "What are you saying?"
"That I want to have sex with him," Rikki answered. "Honestly, what did it sound like?"
Yuna's face turned crimson. "I can't believe that you just said that," she said softly.
"You're really something else, aren't you?" Rikk said. "I can't believe I'm related to you - much less pratically the same person as you."
"Ri's turning over on her sickbed," Rikku added.
"Okay..." Tidus said, voice trailing off. He had been silently appraising his cell, trying to determine the best way to escape in order to help the others.
"Yeah..." Shuyin agreed with his brother.
"I don't get it, Akira is cuter, why didn't you want to sleep with him?" Rikku-sama asked in confusion.
"Simple," Rikki answered promptly. "He was trying to kill us all."
Tammurin was trying not to blush. He wasn't prepared to deal with one of his victims trying to sleep with him. Especially one that had no interrest in his older brother Akira... "I'm not trying to kill you," he told her sternly. "I am going to kill both you and your friends."
"See!" Rikk exclaimed. "He's trying to kill you just like Akira did. And he's not as good looking, so what gives?"
"Akira doesn't radiate 'sex rays'," Rikki suggested.
"Sex Rays?" Tidus dared to ask.
Rikki nodded, although no one could see that from her cell. "Yeah, you know, rays that say, 'let's get some hot, steamy -"
"Don't talk anymore," Baralai suggested. "Tammurin, pick the person you want to beat you senseless -"
"Or fsck you," Rikki added. She lowered her voice dramatically. "I'm availible for either option..." she said in a sultry voice.
Tammurin shook his head slightly, clearing it as best as he could. "No thank-you," he said, randomly opening one cell. "I have no interrest in the opposite sex at all."
Shiroi stepped out of her cell, drawing the Lost Nightmare from it's sheath. "Too bad, Tammurin."
He froze. "Shiroi?" he asked quietly.
She smiled coldly.
"You've changed," he said after a moment.
"Some," she aknowleged.
He trembled slightly, slowly drawing his weapons from their sheaths. The Spell of Obidience said that he had to 'slaugher' everyone except Yuna. But for once the rumors had been true... He had been in love with Lady Shiroi White.
================================================================
Next Chapter; Tammurin is in love with Shiroi... or he was 1,000 years ago. Will he be able to overcome his feelings for her and obey his orders? Or will he be forced to forfiet his life for a woman that has no feelings for him. Will he be sent back to the heart of the Farplane knowing that his love was the one that killed him?
