Author's Notes: I'm back again with chapter 2 and I want to thank Flaming Soul for inspiring me to start typing on this fic again. A-anyway, Time to get on with this Rikku/Yunie fic.
-----Yuna's Dilemma-----
-Besaid Temple/Antechamber-
Yuna is standing infront of the door that once led to the room of the Fayth, when she hears, "I thought you lost faith in Yevon?"
The former Summoner turns to see Lulu standing there behind her, "Lulu?" she says, "... I have, I just come here to think. I've given up everything in my past..." as she talks, she turns back toward the Fayth's chamber, "I want.. to move on."
"But?"
"I--"
"There's someone you just cannot forget about, is that right?" Lulu interrupts as she walks up beside her 'little sister', "You and I are more like sisters than you might have thought, Yuna."
Yuna turns her head to acknowledge the woman, "What do you mean, Lulu?" she asks.
"I, too, have tried to bury my past behind me: The death of my parents, Chappu, memories and pain." Lulu explains, her expression unwavering, "Though difficult, All those things can be let go..." she sighs upon finishing that line.
Yuna waits a moment, then returns Lulu's earlier line, "But?"
Lulu takes in a solid breath, then slowly exhales it, "There is just one I cannot seem to forget..." she says, "One person that I did not want to lose..."
"Who?" ventures Yuna.
Lulu turns her head away, but not before Yuna notices a tear in her right eye, "... Lady Ginnem." she says, "I tried to stop her from taking the Pilgrimage, but... she would not listen." the blackhaired woman turns her gaze back to the Fayth's chamber's door, "I went with her as her Guardian, but I... I never..." she swallows, "I was never able to tell her just how much she meant to me."
Both are silent for several moments, before Lulu speaks again, "... I heard you on the beach earlier, Yuna." she says, gaining Yuna's attention, "I know you have the same type of feelings for Rikku, that I had for Ginnem... no, perhaps even moreso." the blackhaired woman turns to Yuna, "You must tell her of your feelings!" she states, "She is waiting... waiting, in her heart, for you."
A look of pure shock crosses Yuna's face, "What are you saying?" she questions.
"Rikku told me, during the Pilgrimage... how she felt about you." Lulu explains, "She said she was sure it was just a crush, but..." she pauses momentarily, then continues, "The look in her eyes said different. It was the same look I had in my eyes when I was guarding Ginnem. Yuna, You must tell her!"
"I... can't!" Yuna responds, turning away from Lulu, "I mean, She and I are both girls... and, she's an Al Bhed."
"Yuna. Your father, too, fell in love with an Al Bhed."
"That, too, is a problem..." Yuna responds, "My father... married Cid's sister." the brownhaired girl takes a shuttery breath, then continues, "And, Cid is Rikku's father. Rikku and I... we are related!" it can be told that there are tears in Yuna's voice.
"That is true." Lulu says, turning back toward the Fayth's chamber, "However," she tilts her head back toward the brownhaired former Summoner, "Love does not always realize such things. And, even if nothing comes of it, feelings must be revealed..." she turns around and starts walking toward the Cloister of Trials which leads out of the temple, "Or, else, they will eat a person up from the inside until it is too late." Yuna hears Lulu's voice fading as she gets farther and farther away.
Once Lulu is gone, Yuna drops slowly to her knees and hugs herself tightly, tears filling her different-colored eyes, "I want to tell her..." she says, "I wish I could just look her in her spiralling eyes and say, 'Rikku, I love you and I want to always be with you', but I--" she cuts herself off and just buries her face in her arms, crying.
-)Flashback/Near Macalania Travel Agency(-

"E ys dna Guardian uv Yuna, oui caa?" Rikku responded, "Yuna ec cyva! Fa femm kiynt ran! Cra ec cyva!"
After a moment, the Al Bhed leader stated, "Oui tu drec ymuha, cecdan!" he turned and left with the Al Bhed group after that.
Just after that, The group discovered that the leader of the Al Bhed group was Rikku's older brother, also known as Brother.

-----!!To Be Continued!!-----
Ramblings: Well, What's the verdict so far? I'll just bet there were a bunch of 'non'-fans of the Rikku/Yuna pairing who read this fic and are gonna flame it, eh? Well, Guess what... I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!! This is MY fic and I AM a fan of the Rikku/Yunie pairing, so I'll write my fics however the HELL I want to! ::blows raspberry at flamers:: So there! To everyone else who is a fan, or has an open mind to the pairing, stay tuned for the third chapter. Translation as follows:
... the leader of the Al Bhed group(Brother) said, "Rikku! I will tell Father!"
"I am the Guardian of Yuna, you see?" Rikku responded, "Yuna is safe! We will guard her! She is safe!"
After a moment, the Al Bhed leader stated, "You do this alone, sister!"
Well, That's it til the next chapter. Ja for now!
