Reliving the past

By: Bree-2006

AN: Well…today has been an exceptionally long day. I went to my cousins baptism…my other cousins 3rd birthday party and for dinner I made pancakes for my Dad, and sister. (perfectly round I might add) So now I finally have some alone time till I have to go back home to my moms. Listening to my smile empty soul CD, laughing at the angry people outside my windows that keep blowing out tires on broken glass bottles in the road (thanks to a little accident with a recycling truck) and eating strawberry pancakes! What a wondrous day! Well enough about my sorry no life…life

'What goes around comes around'

Chapter 10

Rikku gasped.

'What in the farplane am I doing?' her mind screamed. Trying to pry Gippal's arms from around her squished waist, Rikku dug her nails into his back, which caused him to yelp and move away from her. Rikku struggled to gain her composer as she stood, mouth opening and closing in disbelief, making her look somewhat like a fish out of water. Her fingers touched her swollen lips as she sat her back up against the hallways wall. Gawking was heard to her right so she slowly turned her head, refusing to make eye contact with the man who had just recently had his tongue down her throat.

'How dare he!' she thought sourly eyes flaring with uncontrollable anger. 'I should firaga his butt for doing that!' gathering her courage Rikku opened her mouth.

"What the heck do you think you are doing!" she screamed, waking everyone in the inn up for the second time that night. Gippal stood up and wiped the splattered mud off of his clothes. Motioning for her to be quiet he headed back to his room. Rikku knew she was spouting steam out of her ears, yet she didn't care. Standing up with very little energy Rikku balled her hands into fists at her side. Growling loudly, Rikku ignored the comments from the inn's guests and headed into her room.

Something…or someone made her stop. A gentle hand touched her shoulder lovingly. Turning around, she thought about punching the person square in the jaw, but at the last moment decided not to. Her spirally green eyes looked into one green and one blue.

"Uh…Rikku, we're heading to the farplane in an hour, so be ready ok?" Rikku's eyebrows twitched at her cousins un-acknowledgement of the earlier scene…she knew she saw it. How could you have missed the embarrassing episode in which little-hyperactive Rikku ends up in a tangled mess in the middle of the hallway with none other than her archenemy Gippal? Grinding her teeth, Rikku nodded. Yuna backed up a-bit and smiled politely at her cousin.

"Meet us in the front at eight…Tidus will tell the rest." Rikku grumbled grumpily and walked into her room slamming the door behind her. Turning around Yuna burst out laughing.

'What goes around comes around!'

Yuna walked gracefully down the hall across from Tidus's room into hers. Taking off her muddy robe and throwing it into the corner, she took a shower. Washing the dried mud out of her hair took her longer than she had expected, but after 10 minutes she was finished. Stepping out of the shower onto the cool tile floor Yuna took out her Gunner Dressphere, looking at herself in the mirror Yuna finished dressing herself appropriately for the day.

After brushing her teeth and combing her hair she made her way to the front where everyone was hopefully waiting. Smiling when she saw Paine and Baralai talking quietly amongst themselves, Yuna plopped herself down into chair next to Tidus. Paine concluded her conversation with Baralai and walked over to her.

"Long night?" she asked a small smirk on her face. Yuna and Tidus both turned crimson.

"Very…" Yuna trailed looking around for a familiar, female blonde. Sighing when she couldn't find her Yuna stood up.

"Where's Rikku?" she asked turning to Paine once again. Paine shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know…I don't think she has come out of her room yet." Yuna looked around once again.

"Where's…" Paine cut her off unintentionally.

"He hasn't come out either…I wonder if they're…" Yuna's eyes widened as she placed a hand over her friends mouth.

"Paine!" she screamed, her usually stoic friend grinned beneath her hand, apparently she was trying to hold back a laugh. Suddenly the door opened and in walked Rikku.

"Rikku where have you…" Rikku glared evilly at her cousin.

"Doesn't matter…I'm here…lets go." She said through gritted teeth. Yuna nodded, afraid if she said something wrong Rikku would go berserk and a-wall on their hineys. Not bothering to wait for Gippal they opened the door to the inn and headed to the other side of the Plains where the airship awaited. Halfway to the airship Gippal emerged from the Inn.

"Hey!" He yelled running to catch up to them. Rikku rolled her eyes, yanking Yuna along with her as she walked.

"Hurry…before brother leaves without us!" she yelled trying to make them go faster. Yuna turned her head, looking at Tidus she gave him her best 'help me' look. He shook his head trying to tell her he couldn't do anything about it.

'She's your cousin…' he mouthed. Yuna sighed and let Rikku drag her the rest of the way. Hopping up the ramp, Rikku finally let her go. Rubbing her wrists Yuna prepared herself for the farplane. Walking to the bridge, she told Buddy to head for Guadosalam, he nodded and the airship took off.

'I can do this' she told herself. Standing next to Tidus, knowing she was having doubts he grabbed her hand calming down her nerves some-what. Each foot closer the airship got, the tighter her stomach became. Taking a deep breath Yuna squeezed Tidus's hand reassuringly. Yuna cringed as the ship jerked slightly.

Finally they had reached Guadosalam. Heading to the engine room, the group jumped off of the platform. Walking simultaneously through the town they all Greeted Guados on the way to the farplane gates, Yuna hesitated to stay behind.

'No I must go!' her self-conscious screamed. Wrapping her slim arm around Tidus's well-toned one, Yuna clung to him as if she was clinging on for her dear life. Kissing the top of her hair he led her into the farplane gates.

"I'm going to stay behind and ask the Guado if there have been any strange occurrences surrounding the Farplane Abyss." Baralai told them walking away. This made Yuna even more nervous. Tidus sensing her tenseness wrapped his arm around her waist.

"I love you…and I believe in you." He whispered into her ear, despite everything that was happening he always found a way to make her feel better. Smiling shortly she took her last steps into the Farplane's sacred abyss.

From the very moment she stepped into the farplane she could feel that something was definitely not right. It was…so cold and so...dark. With the little light that fluttered around she could see her breath, and the waterfall that usually flowed was frozen, the flowers dead, and the sun…gone.

"No…" she whispered wrapping her arms around herself for warmth. Rikku shivered to her side, and even Paine shuttered for a second. Gippal looked around him, trying to find some way to lighten the place up. Looking around in the darkness Yuna searched desperately for Tidus. Feeling a little frightened himself he grabbed her close from behind, wrapping his arms around her for strength. Suddenly, as if they were in the thunder plains the room lit up for a second, this caused them all to jump.

"Yu…Yunie…what's going on?" Rikku asked hiding behind Gippal, no longer caring about the incident earlier.

"I don't know," she said softly. Stepping closer and closer to the edge of the cliff they were on she spotted a lonely Pyrefly dancing around in front of her face. The Pyrefly began to get bigger, and brighter, and eventually a form began to take shape. The bigger it got the warmer, and the brighter the area around them got. Readying their weapons the Gullwings set themselves up for an attack. The shape began to get clearer, and soon a figure stood amongst them. Yuna and Tidus looked at it in disbelief. Opening its arms it spoke.

"Yuna…"

AN: Now who could it be? Muahahahaha! A little cliffy! Naw really who is it? If you can answer it correctly I'll give you a cookie…and SKITTLES! YUMMY! You can't pass up an offer like that!
