CHAPTER 5: NOW WHAT? (IS RIKKU DEAD OR NOT?)
Still in the in Between
"The only time I've seen you this down, was when you knew the truth about me."
"What is the truth anyways?"
"...Love" (Auron automatically said, Rikku chuckled in disbelief)
"...No offense....Sir Auron, but what do you know about love??"
"That love always speaks the truth, sooner or later, for better or worse. Like once, a young AlBhed was slowly falling in love
with the wrong guy, secretly this guy was falling in love with her, but she had a whole life to live, while he was already dead..."
(Auron paused for a moment)
"Well....in the end..."
"Let me finish. Even though they both knew how they felt about each other and nothing ever happened, he was able to be sent,
in peace, knowing the truth, he was not attached..." (Auron wanted to continue, but he stopped there.)
"Auron, what do you want me to do?? I've fallen again, from the biggest cloud, I fear I can't go up, I can only stay down.
Everything is just but a mess, a mess I don't get."
"Rikku, you are young, you will not get them, not yet. Come, we can watch Spira from a different angle."
He stretched out his hand, she looked at him, then she figured "why not" she got up and walked with him, slowly.
"Auron??"
"Yes"
"What happened, to the guy and girl??"
"Weeeell"
----------------------------------------------------------
Tidus had no idea what to do. Wakka had a point, if he were to save her life, there was no point in loosing his. He just hoped
Rikku was safe, but something deep within told me him to wake up, go look for her. For the first time in a long time, his brain
was not split in two, it was only thinking of one person, until at some point in the night...he was woken.
"bfsdkfbj" (muffled)
"Sssshhshshshs."
"...Yuna??" (He said, his blood rushing, his thoughts wondering and scattering, shame taking over, he remembered the way he
had treated her before.
"Sh, you want to find Rikku?? Follow me."
Tidus without hesitation whatsoever he got up, put over a shirt and followed Yuna. They walked to the shore, got in a boat and
waited for about half and hour driving, they stopped, they waited.
Everything was silent, yet the sound of the ocean, the creatures of the sea, the wind, their breathing, made everything a perfect
tune, meant to be heard.
Yuna didn't wanted to talk, after that discussion she had with Tidus, plus the discussion before with her cousin, it all made
everything feel like shit, she felt like shit. She knew why she had ask him to come there, besides that she wanted to safe her
cousin, she wanted to be in his good side, but she then figured, it didn't matter anymore, she question inside her, her thoughts of
true love.
Meanwhile Tidus was getting impatient, not knowing what to think and he was beginning to doubt Yuna. What if she had
brought him there for other reasons.
(an: HAHAHHAHAHAH! YUNA IS GOING TO RAPE TIDUS!! Oops, sorry)
Suddenly, pireflies started appearing, then a boy was in mid air.
"You are early." (He said, Yuna bowed.)
"Is she really down there, as you say she is?" (Yuna asked, a little worried in her voice)
"Yes, but she will not hold there anymore, you must go look for her now, otherwise she might die and even if you find her, there
is still a high chance, that Lady Rikku might die." (He disappear, Yuna looked at Tidus, he was shocked, therefore, frozen)
"Well.........Go." (Yuna said softly, Tidus got up, took of his shirt and dived in the water)
-------------------------------------------------------
"YOU STUPID BOY!!! SAY SOMETHING TO YUNA FIRST HOW ARE YOU GONNA JUST DIVE IN WATER
JUST LIKE THAT..." (Jetch yelled frantically to the vision of his son)
"OO" (Rikku watched terrified as Jecth tried to hit Tidus, but couldn't go after him)
Ject turned around, he sighed and looked at Rikku.
"Blondie, is not that I don't like ya and that I want Lady Yuna to win his heart, it's just that my son is a wimp, and knowing him he will start to cry after loosing not only you but her as well, though I believe, she is already lost." (His words were different form how she had heard him in the spheres. In a way, they seem to have wisdom in them, maybe confidence, or maybe ignorance. Jecth kept screaming to Tidus, saying that he will regret his moves, for not making them right.)
They all saw Tidus swim for awhile, it all seemed an eternity, until the vision changed to Yuna and it zoomed in on her, she was standing on the boat, looking first at the sky, she whistled.
"You said you would come running if I called you." (She thought bitterly, her thoughts confusing her far more, but she felt, her thoughts, were not her thoughts after all, but someone else's, trying to bitter her more)
Rikku was focused on her cousin, all rumors going through her mind, she was looking at her green-blue eyes. She then knew, the rumors couldn't be true. For her face was sad, her eyes archaic, her body tired. It wasn't the look of an evil person, enjoying herself in anyway for her 'good' deeds.
Suddenly, a red beam came out from her chest, then her eyes and mouth, the red light covered her and a red fog appeared, then it all suddenly disappear.
"Can you zoom in on her??!!" (Rikku said)
"uuuuh"
"Now! Let me see her eyes, focus on her eyes! Let me see her face, her expression!" (Rikku said desperately, the vision slowly moved to her face.)
An evil grin, red eyes, her hair seemed more spiked up in the ends a little bit longer if that is even possible, she looked down, at her reflection, looked at it with disgust, a thundara stroke it, dispersing it and traveling all the way down where Tidus was, it even reached Rikku.
Rikku yelled loudly!! She put her hands on her head, pressed them hard, she fell on her knees, she wanted to get up. It seemed something was on her head and it couldn't get out. Auron tried to embrace her, but he went right through her.
"Lord Braska!" (Was all he said.)
"That shock did it, it revived her, she is no longer in the IN Between, but she is still not alive, don't worry, she will probably come back, but she might not." (Lord Braska said, looking at Rikku, she seemed to be in pain.)
"YUUUUUUUUNA!!! WHAT'S WRONG!!! TALK TO ME YUNIE......TALK!!" (Rikku yelled, in pain she couldn't bare)
Meanwhile Tidus also felt the shock. It made him unconscious for a few seconds, the next thing he knew was that Rikku was with him, he was at shore, Yuna was there, both of them were knocked out. Tidus got up and fell back, he saw that Yuna was bleeding, the wound was in her head, he looked at Rikku, she was not breathing!
He got close to her, memories form Zanarkand flashing by. After all, he was in the blitz ball team, captain even, he had to be prepared for anything. He did the CPR. (please, use your imagination here) She coughed the water, she was breathing now, yet she was lifeless, she didn't move, she didn't answer him, she didn't open her eyes. But her heart had a beat.
Meanwhile, in the In Between, they watched Rikku and the visions helplessly, not knowing what to do. Rikku hadn't move once, she was still on her knees, her hands on her head and you couldn't be able to touch her, no matter how hard you would try.
When Rikku coughed all the water in Spira, she did so in the Between, she coughed a lot of water, some blood was in it, she then fainted, they were now able to touch her.
Auron put her in his arms and put her in a bed nearby (a/n: how'd that got there?)
In Spira they did the same with, Tidus, Yuna and Rikku. Tidus woke up first. He looked to his right, then to his left, they were both there, divine, beautiful and at the edge of death. One day passed and neither of them would wake.
"Why?" (He thought, as a slow tear rolled down his face)
"YOU FRIKIN WIMP!! What did I say! To think your-" (Jecth was being held back by Auron and Braska, he wanted to get into the vision and beat his son for being a cry baby)
Rikku laid near them still not awake.
"Interesting. Where am' I now?" (Rikku thought, she walked around, exploring the everything at her sides.) "This is the Thunder Plains!!" (She recognize it quick, there was no need for her to explore much, a boy was rushing to the inn, he ran quickly, he was being followed by an Iron Giant)"Need Help?!!" (She yelled as she rush to help him, the kid tripped, she got in front of the Giant and when to the attack...when she came in contact with the fiend, to her surprise, it was cold and his coldness went right through her. "What? KID RUUUN!!!!!!"
