Sorry for putting too much A/N's ... there's not much in this fic... heck! I don't even think there is at all...
This chapter is quite short - way shorter than the others, at least. Sorry. Stupid chinese long test...
Chapter 12
Unexpected jigsaw piece
Back in the temple, where Gippal held the sphere, everyone gathered around. Baralai was not there.
"Why won't you show it to us?" Buddy asked.
Gippal held the sphere tightly in his left hand. His was angry, it was obvious - the way he talked and his expression on his face, "Rikku!" he called.
Rikku looked at the sphere, "You found the sphere!" she cheered.
"Aw... lusa uh!! Mad ic fydlr dra cbana vencd!"(Aw... come on!! Let us watch the sphere first!)
Brother complained.
"kad uid uv so fyo!" (Get out of my way!) Gippal pushed Brother and grabbed Rikku's hand.
"Mad sa ku, Gippal!" (Let me go, Gippal!) Rikku complained, hitting Gippal's hand.
Gippal dragged her back into the forest - no one dared followed. (For some reason)
"Mad sa ku! Mad sa ku! Mad sa ku!" (Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!) Rikku cried over and over,
Gippal let go when they reached somewhere deep in the forest.
There was a mountain-like hill beside them.
"Get up there!" Gippal demanded, pointing to the hill.
Rikku started to get nervous and followed what Gippal had said.
Gippal jumped up the hill (they were alone) and showed Rikku the sphere.
"Fuimt oui zicd keja ed?" (Would you just give it?) Rikku put her hands on her hips.
"Not before you see it." Gippal started.
"Aw... Gippal," Rikku spread her arms open for a hug.
Gippal stepped away from her embrace, "No, not this time, Rikku."
They watched the sphere: it showed Rikku and Gippal, on the night before. It played the scene when they were in the Celsius (during the family party in the deck) when they were in the Cabin...
After watching, Rikku had no expression on her face. But for some reason, she felt her legs shaking.
Gippal took Rikku's right hand and put the sphere in her palm, "E's uiddy rana." (I'm outta here.)
He jumped down the hill, leaving Rikku alone.
Gippal just didn't like his relationships to be recorded in a sphere - not even in anything. So, he was disappointed - he wanted to leave Rikku because he thought that maybe it's just gonna happen when he's with her - and so, he did leave.
-----
That night, in the Celsius, Rikku hid the sphere under her pillow. The others didn't know about this. They didn't even get to watch it yet - but that was the way it should be.
Gippal wasn't in the Celsius anymore. Rikku didn't even bother look for him because she knew that their relationship was over.
