Chapter 4: Eavesdropping, explode, apologies.
This is going to be my first time riding on a shoopuf. I remember how Tidus used to talk about just how fun it was riding across.
…That was before I attacked them. But it was for Yuna's good, I didn't want to see another life being sacrificed, just so the rest of Spira could be happy…because that would just be brutal.
Well, it was time for the ride. I swear that thing is huge…I started examining around the place, looked down…Ah yes, I remember, a sunken city. I leaned over to see the whole view, but suddenly felt a hard grip over my shoulder. Before I had the chance to turn around and scold whoever was being rude, I heard his harsh voice…
"Sit Down" He said in a low rumble, short and clear.
I hadn't said a word the rest of the way. What can I say, or do? Trying to make friends…or not even…maybe just a CO-guardian that tries to have a conversation with him…would be impossible. His one and only goal, protect his summoner at all costs, even at the cost of his life. He had taught us that during Yuna's pilgrimage. The code of a guardian.
By the time we've arrived at the other side, it had already reached nightfall. We've decided to camp outside the pond of lilies that attracted the pyreflies. During Yuna's pilgrimage we didn't even get a second look before he commented that we couldn't stay and must press on.
Jecht had went off into the forest to gather some wood, while Braska and Auron seemed to be having an interesting conversation. I decided to sneak over, using my Al bhed thief skills to do a little something called…. eavesdropping. I slowly tip top over the nearby tree.
"My lord…why is she still here? She has recovered, therefore she does not need our care anymore." Those words…came out of his mouth.
"Auron, she does not seem harmful to us…I've decided to let her join my pilgrimage, as a guardian. She does not seem to have a home either, it's best if she stays with us. " Braska was the only one who understood me.
"HER…a GUARIDAN? No…that's poposterous! An al bhed can not be a guardian! They're heathens! " Auron nearly shouted.
I couldn't stand this anymore…how could he offend me like that, he didn't know anything about my people…my race!
"You have NO right to say that about my people! I…I… promised Braska I will protect him, and that is what I will do!" I tried my best to say it as firm as I could, and holding back my tears.
"Have you forgotten Auron, my wife was also an Al bhed, you've just offended my wife as well!" There was hurt in Braska's voice.
"My lord, she's different, her heart was pure, the only Al bhed that was ever pure, but her…she just wants to kidnap you like any other al bhed would!" Auron accused me. By now, tears were streaming down my face, but I didn't care, I was deeply hurt.
"How could you…I am not different if you know me well…but of course you didn't even try to know me! All you ever do is hide all your feelings in! You NEVER change do you??!!" My eyes were full of rage as I pierced them into his russet eyes.
"What happened here…?" Jecht had came back by now, confused.
Too angry to answer anything, I pushed pass him and ran over to the pond of lilies, hoping to calm myself down.
He had no right to accuse me back there, why was he being such a Wakka? I didn't want to go through this twice. It was horrible arguing with Wakka back in Yunie's pilgrimage. I couldn't understand…Auron had protected my race back then. Was it that much difference 10 years back?
"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE? YOU BROUGHT ME ALL THIS PAIN! ….AND NOW, YOU TRANSPORT ME BACK TO SEE YOU TEN YEARS YOUNGER! I AM TIRED OF YOU TORTURING ME LIKE THIS…! I WANT TO GO HOME, HOME 10 YEARS LATER HOME…! YOU STUBBORN OLD MAN! I HATE YOU AURON!" I screamed out as loud as I can, tears flowing down my cheeks like long rivers. I collapsed down the ground, burying my face into my hands and started sobbing again.
I…I…what have I done? Who was she talking to…old man? Ten years younger? But she had mentioned my name, what's going on?…who is she? I wanted to apologize to her…somehow, maybe I was wrong about her. Maybe her intentions were as pure as Lord Braska's wife. But I couldn't bring myself up to her, the words just wouldn't come out right, if I had said it.
Why couldn't he just apologize…does he ever? Does he think he's right all the time? I wish I could knock some sense in this man. Even though the older version was cold and almost heartless, he had been better than this. Sigh…Rikku, from all of the other guys out there, keyakku was caring, he had loved me truly, why did I have to fall in love with this one man…
I heard small footsteps approaching my direction. At once I became silent, my body turned stiff, I could hear boots clicking…could it be him? Doubt it…
The sound his pace had stopped. Then I felt a firm hand placed slightly on my shoulder.
"Rikku…" It was a low rumble voice…
So it was him…coming to apologize? I couldn't let him go so easily…and I was still mad.
"Go away!" I screamed! I told half the truth, but the other half…I wanted him to stay.
I felt his hand hesitate before leaving my shoulder and holding it back in place inside his gigantic red coat. It gave me a shudder, when his warmth had left me.
"I…wanted to apologize for my behavior, I shouldn't have criticized you."
I felt a bit better…but I wanted to hear more… when someone interrupted.
"Auron! Have you not bothered her enough…she told you to go away!" Jecht had came in the picture.
I didn't want another argument to start, so I stood up and walked over to the blitzball player.
"Come on, let's go Jecht, I want to go back to the tent" I linked arms with Jecht and slowly walked away
…leaving the stoic guardian behind…
