Well, this took a while to write and I am sorry to keep you all waiting. Anyways, enjoy!

1st July

Bevelle

It took too long to get to Bevelle. I was biting my nails the whole way. Brother kept giving me potions, trying to soothe Keyakku's burning pain. He kept breaking out in sweat and each time; I just took out the wet cloth and wiped it all away. It didn't look good, and each time he looked calm, another attack started. Brother kept saying we were nearing Bevelle, but he always said 'Oh wait, I misjudged. It'll be another four hours'. I just feel like crying, but that's not going to do any good. So I just hold them back and try to care for him.

I was afraid of two things. I was afraid of the Yevonites and what they'd say about us, and also I was afraid that Keyakku would die. Brother kept giving me new things to give to Keyakku, in between driving the ship. Keyakku mumbled a few things in his sleep, but nothing distinguishable.

When we finally docked in Bevelle, Brother picked up Keyakku and I ran ahead, looking for the summoners. Everything was so busy; I didn't know where to start looking. Brother suggested the temple, so I ran through the crowds, trying to ignore the glances I got from the Yevonites and passers by. The temple had lots of steps, leading up to the front door and as I ran, someone tried to stop me, yelling insults at me for being an Al Bhed in a holy city. Someone tried to stop me, but I was stronger then that. I shook them off quickly and grabbed at the first summoner I saw, a blonde woman, surrounded by her guardians.

"Please help us! Our friend, he's sick! Please!" I begged them.

"Get off me, you filthy Al Bhed!" the blonde summoner shouted at me.

I backed away, confused. There were so many summoners, except they weren't all willing to use their White Magic. Some of the guardians were overprotective and knocked me away when they saw my eyes.

"Fa haat cusadrehk du lujan uin aoac," We need something to cover our eyes, I said.

"Cihkmyccac!" Sunglasses! Cid yelled out in Al Bhed, causing everyone to turn our way.

But I had no idea where to buy sunglasses. There were many stores, but they weren't what we were looking for. People had goggles so we settled for that and I handed over some Gil, buying some black goggles. Brother got some too, and we headed back to the temple, walking up to a man talking to some guards.

"Excuse me, could you please heal our sick friend. He really needs it!" I asked.

The man turned around and flicked his long silver hair behind his shoulders. His piercing blue eyes saw right through me.

"Little Al Bhed, even though you are of a different race, I can afford to waste my time healing your pathetic friend," he said.

I glared at him and felt like punching him. "Vilg oui," Fuck you, I murmured under my breath.

We led him to our ship, trying to avoid the stares of everyone around us. He was fascinated by our ship and when he saw Keyakku he let out a chuckle and knelt by him.

"Easily healed," the man said and took out his staff.

He concentrated his energy and I watched a beam of white light build up at the end of his staff. Curaga. That took a lot of energy out of the summoners. He let the light go and It hit Keyakku, washing into him and obviously soothing him, because the swelling went away and he slowly opened his eyes. The man nodded and got up to go. I let out a cry and helped up Keyakku. He held onto me tightly and glanced at the summoner, who was disappearing out the door. We didn't even get to know his name.

3rd July

Salvage Ship

Keyakku is getting better every day. He can't work much though, and he still sweats every now and again. We keep giving him Al Bhed potions and they seem to work. We think the sickness got caused by someone scratching him in Luca, he agrees with us too.

"Thank you Rikku," he said.

"Your welcome, Keyakku." I smiled and sat down next to him.

He gave me a passionate kiss, meaning he had his strength back. I laughed a little afterwards. Keyakku was back to normal after all.

4th July

Salvage Ship

We have spotted a new treasure in an island called Besaid. Brother says our cousin lives there, but we aren't going to stop by the village and say hello. We didn't have that much time. Keyakku is still weak, but he says it'll take a few days to get there. Besaid was nice though, so says Brother, but I just think we should get the treasure and get out of there as quick as possible, after all, we were behind schedule. Keyakku doesn't look like he is fit enough to travel with us and we suggested he stay behind, but he insists he should come, holding my wrist and pulling me down to beg to me.

I can't stand it when I have to make a decision for the crew. If Keyakku came he could weigh us down, but if he stayed behind, someone could kidnap him, or something like it. I had to think for a few moments, while Brother and Keyakku looked on. Keyakku had just finished his herbs that we got from a merchant a while back and Brother was trying to look out the window of the ship to inspect the land, but was having difficulty. He looked back at me and crossed his arms.

"Fine you can come," I murmured.

Brother hit me over the head when Keyakku cheered, and I cowered. His blows hurt me, and his hands were big and strong. I sat down by Keyakku.

"Feeling any better, Keyakku?" I asked.

"Yes, Rikku. Thanks to you're help, I am feeling much better," he said and gave me a warm smile.

I returned the smile and looked away for a few minutes. Keyakku was better, we were going to Besaid and I felt all good for once. I got up to go see outside, but was stopped as the ship lurched to one side violently. I looked to Keyakku, who seemed in shock and I decided to leave him and find out what was happening.

I yelled out to Brother to tell me what it was, but there came no answer. I started up the stairs, struggling to keep balance as the ship lurched to and fro. I ran out to the Controls and saw Brother unconscious; lying against the switchboard. I felt a burst of adrenaline rush through me and I ran over to him. But as I got over there, I was stopped as the sight of a huge lobster like monster, ready to crush the ship came into view.
