Chapter 4-Memories Are Never Forgotten
Rikku's POV
"When I finish visiting every single spot in Spira, I would maybe go back home or just start a new journey all over again." I smiled. Gippal came to me and tried to ask me out and I said no, but we got engaged into a conversation. It's always like this when I'm with him, ever since we were little. He would tease, fight me, annoy me and do all kinds of bad things to me but in the end though he never says sorry he makes me forget of all the millions of pranks he's done to me, in other words when he would make me smile, I forget about things -in short I had a huge crush on the jerk. There, I admitted it but it's all out of my system.
"Gippal?" He looked at me with confused and concerned eyes. I could read him like a book sometimes and sometimes I wonder how the heck I was with, "Do you think I'm pretty?" I met his eyes and blushed then bowed my head in embarassment. "Sorry, don't answer that. It's just that there aren't any guys that are willing to date me you know, besides you." I put my hands on my lap and stared at the lake before me, the same place where I had my reunion with Tidus after he and Wakka destroyed my precious machina. I sighed, "I wonder why boys are so afraid to talk me." I did remember a few years back, Gippal would have any girl in the palm of his hands while I, on the other hand well.....
I remember,
FlashBack
"Giiippppaaaallllllll!!!" Lynvidinia, Gippal's new girlfriend for the next two weeks, was screeching for Gippal again. The nerve, it's like she has a radar or something, everytime that he would come near me after some guy would try and ask me out, she would come down and try to pry off Gippy from me. We were just friends, best friends that hate and love each other.
"Gippy, you better go." I smiled as he wpuld just submit to his girlfriend's whimpers and left me here all alone, fixing a toy for a soon-to-be nephew/ or niece of mine. "You can just help me later, k?" I smiled again as he left, jealousy still pangs my heart but I know that it would never go anywhere when it's Gippal we're talking about.
A few minutes after Gippal left, guys were starting to talk to me and act all nice, in short they were trying to impress me enough to go out with them. Some guys think of me as a tough cookie to crack just because I'm their leader's daughter means to them I'm really hard to get. "So are you doing anything tomorrow?" The guy I was talking to currently is a nice cookie, a good-looking cookie that used to go by the name, Keyakku. A lightly tanned handsome Al Bhed that was simply the perfect gentleman. In other words, he was the exact OPPOSITE of GIPPAL.
"Are you asking me out on a date?" My eyes widened. All those times, I thought that he only saw me as a sister but now well it was a different story. Suddenly he blushed and became all uneasy, I smiled. He slowly nodded his head and waited for my answer, "If you are then, okay. I'd love to go on a date with you." After that statement, he looked like the happiest man on the world. He hugged me and restrained himself before he would do something more, then he politely bowed down at me and winked. I could feel my cheeks burning, then he left after being called by Yackon.
I giggled. Someone finally wanted to go out with me! Not that I liked being asked to go out on a date with every single guy, it's just that guys seem to flock away from me. I wasn't ugly or anything nor was I really gorgeous to kill for but everytime I try to strike a conversation or just accidentally touch them they'd look at me like I was a ghost or something then find some excuse to go away. But then I had Keyakku, he really was a sweet guy but well Sin got into things, but that's another memory that's best kept shut.
Later on, when I told Gippal what happened when he left he sorta became angry at me and at Keyakku. I didn't know why he suddely bursted out his anger at me, as if I did something wrong. He got me all riled up and then when he did just too much, I slapped him and left heading to Keyakku. But he stopped me and yelled again,
"You aren't going to that Keyakku jerk! He's not right for you, listen to me because-", Gippal, the best friend of mine could aslo be the number overprotective brother a girl like me could have, then I butted in. "You, Lexian Gippal Vidgar, listen to me. I am 15 years old and I'm not going to marry the guy, I am just going to go out with him. Since when have you even cared? You have lots of girls flocking around you, they're even willing for you to take off the clothes! Why would I be so important to you?!" I was so angry, I could have sworn my emerald green swirly eyes would turn all glowing eerie purple, after scolding him like a child he couldn't answer me. Then he slapped me, I flung on to the ground with tears stinging my eyes.
Then I stood up and looked at him, "I hate you." His face was shocked and then that's all I could see after turning around and running for dear life and ending up in Keyakku's arms. I spent time with him the rest of the day, and when nightfall came I think he carried me off to my home and laid me on my bed and tucked me in, he even kissed me on my cheek and said, "Goodnight, Rikku."
I slept there for about three hours straight then I couldn't sleep anymore. I heard someone throwing a stone at my window, then silence and then knocking at my window. "Rikku! Rikku!" I pretty much had a really good guess to who it was outside, I opened the window and exclaimed,
"Gippal! What the heck are you doing here?" He greeted me with a smirk and a kiss.
I broke the kiss and pushed him away, "What's wrong with you?!" I said that in the most loudest, most softest voice ever. If Pops ever found us, we'd -no Gippal would be dead meat. "You slap me and then you come here acting like nothing was wrong!? Why did you even kiss-" He placed his index finger infront of my lips, shushing me up. "You know, Cid's girl, you talk to much."
I scoffed, then he started talking again, "I came here because I want to say that I'm leaving." I felt that my whole world was being blown up into pieces, slowly. "I'm going to join the Crimson Squad."
"Is this about the fight? Now, I don't want you to go. You-you might die!!" I sank again to the floor, he really never left my side. He even put me back on my bed and laid with me until the sun started to shine. The next morning he wasn't there anymore, I guess he really did go to the Crimson Squad. After that every single night, I prayed to whoever was that Big Guy in the sky that Gippal was, is and always will be safe and would come home for me.
FlashBack Ends, Gippal's POV
She was just staring there at the open view of the lake, it was getting late and the pyreflies were appearing. She's still beautiful as ever, then I looked around. Everyone must have gone back home, we were the only ones around. It felt good just being with her and just watching her think. We used to do this, but somehow something was really different with Rikku.
"Rikku?" I broke her trance and she looked at me, then I just stared back. I could see the tinge of pink in her cheeks as she asked me, "What?"
"You were zoning out for quite a while. You looked like you were daydreaming about someone, could that someone be me?" Her cheeks were now visibly red, I went to her and wrapped my arms around her waist, "Nah, just kidding. What were you thinking about?" She shrugged.
"Just thinking about the past, you know the day before you left for the Crimson Squad. That's all." I loved her smell, just being near her and smelling her hair, this is just too much. I shouldn't be here smelling the flowers that were supposedly dead and into the past. But I just can't help it
remember what we used to do together.
GullwingsYuna's POV
"Tidus, I-I'm pregnant." I sighed and slumped back on my bed. I was practicing to tell him what really has happened and things aren't really going anywhere. I break down before I could even finish and say my explanation. I am such a weakling, how did I even destroy Sin if I don't have the courage to face my fears? I looked at myself in my mirror, we have built separate cabins for us to sleep in. Privacy is really important, especially when I'm trying to hide my growing baby. "This is just hopeless," I stared at my belly, it's beginning to show.
I decide to change what I was wearing, I took off my garment grid and wore my old summoner outfit. That way maybe it could conceal it a little, I walked off my chamber and walked to the cabin. I rode the elevator down to reach the bridge I was walking fine until I felt a spearing pain in my abdomen, "Ahhhhrrgghh," I gritted my teeth in pain, it was like I was really burning up inside pain. "Paine! Buddy! Brotthhheerrrrr!!" I screamed.
I clenched my fist in pain and agony, my breathing became obscured and as if I'm drowning and I couldn't get any oxygen to breath. "ANYBODY, HELP ME!!" I was crying while still clutching my stomach, sinked down to the floor. Tears were stinging my eyes, I really felt that I am going to die. I trailed down to my dress as blood was swimming out of my dress, then I heard footsteps running towards my direction. My eyes were too tired to see anything, everything is starting to get darker and darker. Am I dying? My thoughts trailed off, "My baby..."
"Yuna!" Who was that? I can't tell anymore, I'm loosing blood. "What's happening?"
