Chapter IX-
The next day Rikku had regained her consciousness. However you could barely tell the difference besides the fact that she was walking around and that her eyes were open. Her eyes didn't shine like they did before. Besides that she wasn't her normal talkative self. It was breakfast when I finally couldn't take the silence anymore. She was picking quietly at her food when I rose from my seat.
"Rikku what's wrong with you? Why can't you talk to me about it? Huh?" I demanded almost a bit to roughly, so I added in something quickly. "I'm worried about you…"
Rikku looked up into my eyes. Then her own eyes which had been emotionless before now filled with a new emotion. But it was one I didn't want to see either. Sadness. Depression. Hopelessness. Tears soon began to pour from her eyes, and she turned around quickly o attempt to hide them.
"Gippal…you were right. You told me I'd get hurt. And…" she paused wiping some of the tears away. "And…I ignored you and lied to you. I went anyway. And…if you didn't catch me in my lie…then…I'd probably…"
I walked over to her, placing my hands on each side of her face. She looked up at me and gave me a meek smile. Which looked pitiful compared to the smile I was giving her.
"Rikku. I shouldn't have yelled at you in the first place. Maybe…I should have just gone with you like we were supposed to do to begin with. Besides that fiend was pretty beaten up before I even got there so you must have gotten somewhere. Am I right?" I asked, moving my hands a bit to wipe the tears from her eyes.
She just nodded.
"I'm sorry Gippal…"
I shook my head, and smiled. Then I jerked my hands away from her face and wrapped my arms around her so I could pick her up. She kicked and shouted for a little bit, yelling at me to put her down. At least her happiness was back. I carried her all the way upstairs and into our bedroom, setting her down on the soft bed.
"You rest. You have a big day tomorrow." I ordered.
"Yes Sir!" she chuckled, resting her head on her pillow and shooing me out of our room.
I smiled lightly and left, heading downstairs just in time to hear our commsphere going off. I rushed to it and clicked it on, a image soon appearing of Wakka and Lulu. Well Lulu mainly, Wakka was kind of in the background chasing Vidina around.
"Hey Lu. Sup?" I asked, chuckling slightly as Vidina hid behind a Auroch player.
"Hmm…we just wanted to know about Rikku's 'surprise' party. It's tomorrow right?" she asked.
I nodded.
"Alright well where is she now?" Lulu questioned, looking down as her child clung to her.
"Asleep." I answered.
We talked for a bit until I saw Yuna and Tidus come outside from a little hut. I waved to them and they smiled back. Vidina saw Tidus and immediately took off, sqeualling at the top of his lungs. Tidus joined Wakka in chasing the kid around, while Yuna approached the Commsphere.
"Oh Gippal. Lulu and I made the best cake ever for the party. I'm sure Rikku will absolutely love it. It's going to be so much fun!" Yuna exclaimed, clapping her hands with joy.
I rolled my eyes. The ex-summoner had been hanging around with Rikku way too much lately.
"That sounds good Yuna. So your taking care of Rikku while we set up the party right?"
Yuna nodded. "I'll take her to the calm lands. We'll play around there for about an hour. Then I'll take her to…well…here. That's where we are meeting you guys correct?"
"Yes. Okay, you guys call everyone okay. Then I'll see you guys tomorrow." I smiled, turning the commsphere off and heading to the couch to relax.
Rikku is going to have the best day of her life.
