Notes: I don't own FFX or X-2 or any of that! Though I do own my OC's! Bleh! This fic ties X and X-2 together sense it begins at the end of X and ends at the beginning of X-2. It explains how Baralai comes to power in Bevelle, Rikku and Gippal's mysterious relationship, and why the hell Rin has Gippal's Sphere. (Pairings: YunaxIsaaru, YunaxTidus, RikkuxGippal, BaralaixShelinda)

Chapter 6: Blue Eyed Rhea

Yuna stood before her bathroom mirror staring at her self. Her lonesomeness was really starting to get to her. She then lowered her head to look at the brown locks that lay piled in the sink. Her hair…looked so much like Tidus'. She knew that many people would find that strange but she found it comforting. She continued cutting her hair while lightly humming the hymn of the fayth to herself. She began wondering where Isaaru needed to go. Did he go back to Bevelle to be with is brothers? Or maybe he went to Mt. Gagazet to help the Ronso. Then why would he leave her behind? She would have gladly gone with him. To keep him company on the long road would have been wonderful. " I e yu i…no bo me no…"

Rhea: eldest daughter of the great businessman Rheanois. She was proudly named after him and was heir to a great legacy. She had money and intelligence, but some how she was second pick to Suzu. In high school, Rhea had fallen head over heels for Rin and even got him as a boyfriend only to be crushed when she found out he was using her to get close to Suzu. Suzu: tall, stoic, beautiful, witty, and charismatic. Rhea loved her sister and blamed people's favor of Suzu over her on her blue eyes. She was the only Al Bhed with blue eyes. Everyone else had green eyes. Even a half Al Bhed like Yuna had one green eye but some how Rhea's eyes were blue. Suzu also had somewhat odd eyes but they weren't anything as strange as Rhea. Suzu's eyes were a dark forest green and, to Rhea, every one found theme beautiful. Suzu was distant from Rhea. She hardly spoke with her or any one for that matter. Her anti-social nature actual drew people to her though. Rhea loved her all the same though..

It had been a two weeks sense his reporting the sinful acts of the Chairman and his son and his plan worked. New Yevon, in fear of complete and utter embarrassment, commanded them to step down and even gave Baralai the post of praetor. At this point, Shelinda had had enough! She left the temple in Bevelle and went to Luca crying. How could some one be so cruel as to blackmail some one for their post? Baralai then began regretting his actions. Was all this worth losing her respect…and maybe even her love? He knew though, that he had come to far just to give it up now. She didn't tell him where she had gone. All she said was "…an angel's wings turn black with greed and deceit…". He swore that some how, some day he'd see her again. Be it in this life or the next, he would.

END of ch6

(Listening to Aeon, a remix of the hymn of fayth. Not bad honestly. I thought I needed some character development of Suzu and Rhea so I slipped it in this chapter. Ch7 is going to continue the journey of Isaaru, start of the Gullwings, and the drastic change in Yuna's personality.)
