-The Power Of Love Conquers All-
Author's Chat Section: Yay! I finally got Final Fantasy VII and it's pretty good. Now you're probably wondering, "Hey this is a pretty old game how come you haven't played it before, Dark Shedevil?" Good question. And the answer is… I never had time. (I'm sort of a very busy person in a lazy kind of way.) But even though a lot of people say that FFVII is the best, to me Final Fantasy X is still the best. Go FFX!!!! Who knows, it could've been gone different if I played FFVII before but whatever. It's all good. Oh yeah I want to thank my friend Prissi who kindly reviewed my story.You Rock Prissi! Hey! Don't forget to review, now! Okay. ;)
Disclaimer: Right now I'm in court and awaiting my sentence for attempted robbery. Maybe Square Enix would go easy on me. But I highly doubt it. The owner and president is suing me 5 billion dollars and 44 cents. Better make up a damn good excuse, to get out of this one. Oh well. (Author goes back to reading her book entitled. "Good excuses to prevent Jail Time from crazy/deranged video game producers.)
Chapter 8- I'm Still In Love
Leblanc was still sleeping in the chair she needlessly slouched a while ago. She slept away her time while the rest of the lovebirds carefully noted their lovers besides them. No one paid much attention to Leblanc, but then she began to talk in her sleep.
All that was running through her mind during that time was none other than her love interest. Nooj.
Her face furrowed in a worrying expression. Leblanc was experiencing no dream but only flash backs of her much darker past, conjoined in a nightmare. The death of her mother and brother were among the many things Leblanc thought about. And then she remembered when she had saw Nooj again.
"Hey Nooj!" Leblanc ran up towards him but all he did was walking. Very slowly away from her.
She didn't want to annoy him. But she was excited to see him again. Something that had just happened to her, left Leblanc emotionally scarred but at least getting the chance to see Nooj one more time, was relieving and allowed her to escape the reality of which she was now a teenager with no family…Something that she'd been dealing with for the past months.
"Nooj…" She murmured as she tossed and turned in the chair.
It was then when everyone in the turned to see her. Rikku ran up to her side as so did Yuna. Each of them wondered what she was dreaming about. They all then gathered around her. Each one heard the faint echoes and cries in which she kept on calling the same name. 'Nooj.'
"Do you think she'll be alright?" Asked Tidus to his lover.
Yuna sat on the floor placing a hand on Leblanc's forehead. "I don't know if she's okay. She's kind of feverish."
Rikku took Leblanc's hand and grasped it lightly. "Maybe we should wake her up?'
Paine shook her head. "People in recurring dreams or thoughts must not be awakened. It is those images that could help the person in many ways later on. Although it may seem very harsh she has to continue dreaming until she could wake up on her own."
Yuna stroked Leblanc's hair.
Paine I hope you're right… A dream could also harm a person once they wake up. But you're right. When I had my dream where the dress sphere took over those images preserved in that dress drove me to a point where I had to look for the answers. But for Leblanc it's different. She is wearing her own clothing. It must be dream that might be telling her something. Something from her past.
Rikku slowly let go of Leblanc's sweaty hands.
I hope she'll be all right. Whenever I see Yuna dream like this I usually wake her up. But I must trust Paine with this one. She's always right.
Everyone in the room stood still and patiently awaited for Leblanc to awake from her deep slumber. But the longer the time went by the more nerve-racking the situation became to them. Leblanc slithered and tossed and at times punched the chair by dropping her fists down. At times slight screams and yelps came form her. Everyone anxiously wanted to awake her from her sleep, but then they always kept remembering what Paine had told them.
They all sat down as they heard yet another shouting coming from her. But this time it was as if she was experiencing immense pain. They all began to clench as her screams continued.
Gippal turned to Paine. "She's in pain!" He shouted.
Paine remained still with her armed folded across her chest. "I know that, but we can't awake her just yet…"
Everyone kept sitting down. Rikku looking nervous. Yuna looking worried. Paine looking the same, up still and serious about the situation, Gippal placing his hands in and out of his pockets repeatedly, Baralai sitting there but he kept on twitching probably because of the tight leather pants he was wearing, Tidus followed Yuna's worry by biting his fingernails in all his fingers, as for Brother all he did was talk to Cali in Al Bhed as she from time to time glanced over to see how Leblanc was doing.
Each one didn't feel like talking, but Gippal's limited patience gotten to him and was the first to speak up.
He cleared his voice." You know Baralai… You look weird in that clothing. I can't believe now's when I notice this." He chuckled lightly, but then stopped as he noticed that no one was quite up for the light sense of humor, not even Rikku.
Everyone just seemed to be concentrated with Leblanc's sleeping behavior.
Gippal just shrugged and sat back in his chair.
Rikku looked up at her older cousin with her nervous Al Bhed eyes. "Yunie… Can I wake her up now?"
Yuna shook her head. "No Rikku we can't right now… I wish we could but we can't."
Rikku sat beside Gippal and cuddled beneath his strong figure. She needed something to release all the tension and worrying she was experiencing. Then Gippal caressed his lover's face.
Rikku you're so beautiful. Even though with that worry look on your face I still find you a wonder to look at. He smiled at her and she did back to him as well.
Another murmur escaped from Leblanc. "Nooj…."
Gippal paid close attention to the way Leblanc had mentioned his name.
Wonder why she's dreaming of him…everyone knows she's practically head over heels for him, but why is he a name she keeps on repeating? I remember when we talked about her. Baralai, Paine, and I would keep on repeat that Leblanc and him would get married and have children together but he always responded with a small chuckle. Had he liked her back? We thought so, but Nooj seemed like such a stoic man when it came down to love. Since he had never experienced it.
"So Nooj how's your love life going for you?" Gippal had asked in a girly way as both Baralai and Paine laughed uncontrollably.
Nooj turned around and shot an angry look at the both of them. That's when they immediately stopped. Although they joked around a lot, they knew when they went to go too far. Each went back to their training. Not before Gippal walked up to him.
"Hey Nooj, heard anything from that girl Leblanc?"
Nooj turned around with his newly implanted machina body. "I haven't heard anything from her yet…"
"So what you think about her?"
Nooj looked up at the sky. "Love is something I don't except to experience."
Gippal scoffed. "Yeah, right… Don't lie to me. I know you love her."
Nooj just chuckled. "You know maybe you're right…"
Did he actually mean that or was it just sarcasm to play along? Although Nooj may seem sort of serious he also tends to play along as well. But to me I do think that he does have some feeling towards Leblanc. He had told me once that they had a rough past and crossed paths several times. But you know what? That means something. Maybe it's like destiny… Naw. Its just love. He he…
Gippal opened his eyes once more. He paid his attention towards the group everyone surrounded Leblanc as she began to calm down a bit. He ran up towards her as well. Slowly examining her slowing moves. All that Gippal cared about now was her safety.
Author's Notes: Well nothing much here. Like I mentioned a couple of chapters back I really want to do a part Nooj gets a side of his loving and caring story and for Leblanc to develop a relationship with other characters Wink Wink. But all is well, and going smoothly for me. I have to tell you guys something though. I don't like Rikku and Gippal as a couple. No offense but I like Rikku and Auron better, also Rikku and Paine, but I don't know why I just don't like Rikku and Gippal. Oh well… But I had to use them in the story, you just for it to make sense since everyone else had their lovers they were the only ones not paired up. But who knows I might like them later on, but I highly doubt that. Oh yeah the title is based on the song by Sean Paul and Sasha. I'm Still In Love. Well, Until next chapter loves!
