Chapter 11

The Secret

The group made their way back through forest after their dinner feast.

"That was so good," Rikku said patting her stomach.

"Well if it wasn't for my fire" Lulu said brushing the non-existent dirt from her hands.

"Can it Lulu" Tidus said, he got Lulu's famous death glare and a playful punch by Yuna.

"Humph!" Lulu said, they walked into their hut and stood around the table. Lulu sat down on one of the two chairs and yawned.

"So, what do we do now? its still not dark" Lulu said rubbing her eyes.

"Well we could upgrade our accommodation" Tidus suggested scratching his head.

"Like maybe make some beds of some sort" Tidus added, he walked over to the bench and sat down.

"I suppose we make something better than that bench" Wakka said pointing to the current chair for the young male.

"Yeah, that's the spirit guys. Never give up we will!" Rikku said jumping in the air and hitting the roof with her head. She landed on the ground holding her head to everybody's entertainment.

"That wasn't funny" Rikku sulked, the laughs died down as they heard a huge crash.

"What the?" Yuna said running outside, she gasped as the clouds gathered together and the sky grew gunmetal grey.

"A storm!" Yuna cried over the thunder's booming.

"Seifer!" Tidus screamed running outside, he squinted through the rain and saw the panicking bird. He ran over and jumped on its back.

"Its okay boy, everything will b…." Tidus was cut off by a crack of lighting striking a nearby tree. The now pouring rain quickly extinguished it but it wasn't forgotten, Seifer tried to buck Tidus off as he jumped into the air.

"Ahhhhh" Tidus screamed clutching onto the yellow animal.

"Tidus!" Yuna screamed, she ran over to where Tidus and the bird landed. Seifer went to bolt away but felt soft hands against its beak.

"Come on boy, let's get inside," Yuna said patting the distressed bird. Tidus's eyes bugged out of his head as Yuna led them into the small hut. Rikku was under the table hugging her knees while shaking violently. Lulu and Wakka were busy attempting to patch the hole that was leaking water onto the chairs.

"What's going on?" Tidus asked jumping off Seifer and coaxing him into the corner.

"I think I know" Rikku piped in popping out from under the table. "It's the Bevelle Tropical" Rikku said crawling back under the table when another loud lightning crash was heard.

"The great Bevelle Tropical, it comes every three hundred years and passes through the Sirium Islands" Lulu said.

"Wait, we are on THE Sirium Islands!" Yuna screamed.

"I guess so" Lulu replied looking out at the storm.

"Sirium Islands?" Tidus said wrapping his arms around Yuna's shaking body.

"The Sirium Islands are famous for" Lulu paused summoning up some strength "Cannibals" She blurted out. Tidus gulped and looked at the now horrified Yuna.

"But I haven't seen anything that would relate to human habitat" Tidus said, he thought for a second before screaming.

"This, this is their hut isn't it!" Tidus whispered. Lulu just nodded, Rikku crawled out from the table and latched onto Lulu's arm.

"They are going to find and ea…" Rikku was muffled by Lulu hand.

"Don't even think about saying it. We will leave right now" Lulu announced pulling Rikku off her.

" I second that motion" Tidus said looking at Yuna.

"Third" Yuna said giving Tidus a small smile.

"Fourth" Wakka yelled, the group all looked at Rikku.

"Get me outta here!" Rikku screamed grabbing her suitcase. Tidus then grabbed his and put his and Rikku's cases on Seifer.

Yuna then jumped on Seifer and held onto the suitcases.

"Lets go" Lulu said walking out of the hut.

"Tidus, you may need this" Yuna said handing him his sword. Tidus just nodded and smiled.

"Seifer out" Yuna commanded, Seifer trotted outside followed by Wakka, Rikku and Tidus. They met Lulu outside and they followed her deeper into the lush forest. They walked for hours not speaking a word, Lulu stopped and raised up her left hand, the rain had stopped a while ago but the group was still soaked and annoyed.

"Stop" She whispered, They watched as Lulu peered around into the next clearing. She covered her hand with her mouth and signalled for them to come and look. Rikku stifled a scream as they saw some men huddled around a fire. There was a burning post in the middle of their circle with something big strapped to it.

"Lulu no!" Wakka whispered as the mage walked out of their camouflaged safety. Tidus walked behind her sword at the ready, Wakka sighed and picked up a nearby long thick stick.

"No please no" Yuna whispered tears spilling from her eyes.

"Yunie, hunt or be hunted" Rikku whispered removing some claws from her suitcase. She had hidden them in a pocket covered by black bras. Yuna shook her head hoping off the chocobo.

(a/n No Lulu and the gang wont turn Cannibal, so please continue reading )

"I cant believe it" Yuna whispered jogging up to Tidus's side. The men stopped talking and looked at the intruders, they pointed at them and stood up.

"CANNIBALS!" One man screamed, pointing at the gang.

"What? We aren't Cannibals. You are" Rikku screamed, pointing her claws at them. The men gave them confused looks before stepping closer to the gang.

"No stay back! I am not getting devoured" Rikku screamed.

"We are not Cannibals, you are!" Another man screamed, pointing at the confused blonde.

"Oh yeah, then what's strapped to the post" Tidus screamed pointing to the burning object.

"A chocobo, it was our dinner" The same man yelled back.

"Oh, then if you aren't Cannibals. Why are you on this island" Wakka yelled.

"We are the Tyrosi Brothers from the Bevelle Circus, our plane crashed here. We have been living here in fear of the hannibals," A smaller man said.

"I trust them" Yuna whispered to Tidus, she walked over to the men and extended her hand. The first man accepted her handshake and nodded to the rest of the men. The groups greeted eachother exchanging names and stories.

"So have you seen the Cannibals?" Rikku said taking a bite from her piece of choccobo.

"No, but we hear sounds at night. Screaming and howling" Talon said, Talon was one of the taller but younger brothers. His almost shoulder length brown and blonde hair slid down his moonlight lit neck as he hung his head.

"Don't worry we will protect eachother!" Yuna said sipping her water that the Brothers had given her.

"Talon, come help me in here" Called a voice, the gang turned around and noticed there were two small huts in the background. They had a different structure to their old one and were slightly bigger. A young woman walked out of the hut with a hollowed out coconut in one hand and a spoon looking object in the other. There was a mushie mixture in the coconut that had a sweet and savoury aroma. The girl had hair that just finished a bit past her shoulder, it was a dark brown and just a little bit darker than Yuna's. She wore a necklace with a cross on it that glimmered in the fires light.

"Honey, I need some more Zephir berries" Rachel said, Talon walked over and embraced the young woman causing her to blush.

"Oh hi, my name is Rachel, what are your names" Rachel said slithering from Talons embrace. She walked over and extended her hand to Rikku.

"My name is Rikku, and this is Tidus, Wakka, Lulu and Yuna" Rikku said. She pointed to each person before admiring Rachel's necklace.

"Hi" The gang responded going back to eating. Seifer walked over to Rachel and made some loud chirping noises.

"Aww you want some huh" Rachel said scratching the birds chin. She put some berry mixture onto a fallen palm leaf and put it on the ground.

"Well, we all better go to sleep, You guys can sleep in hut two, there are three beds so you have…" Talon was cut off by an embarrassed Tidus.

"Its ok, we uhh" Tidus started he looked down at the ground and took Yuna's hand.

"I see, well we will see you in the morning. Goodnight my friends" Talon said before leaving to his assigned hut. The other men smiled and waved goodbye, Rachel gave each of them a hug before catching up to Talon and taking his hand.

"Cute couple" Yuna said looking at Tidus.

"Not as cute as us" Tidus said rubbing his nose with hers. Yuna heard some gagging noises and sent Rikku a death glare, she just smiled innocently back and removed her hands from her throat. The group all laughed before going into their hut. Tidus pushed all three beds together and opened Rikku's suitcase. That the men had carried in before.

"Why did you do that?" Rikku asked looking at the massive bed he had created. Tidus just smiled and took out the torn sleeping bag, he laid it across the three beds he got on and layed on the left side.

"Well don't just stand there, aren't you tired" Tidus said putting his hands behind his head. Yuna kneeled on the now not so hard bed and crawled up to Tidus, she layed next to him and felt his arm pull her closer.

"Well I'm tired too," Rikku said taking the middle spot. Rikku turned to her left side and looked at a peaceful Yuna and Tidus, she then turned to her right where Lulu and Wakka were now laying down. Rikku giving up turned onto her back and looked up at the empty ceiling.

"I miss you so much Gippal" Rikku whispered letting a tear escape her green swirling eyes. She softly cried herself to sleep.

Yuna looked up at Tidus, they had been listening to Rikku's crying for the past hour.

"We are going to be ok right?" Yuna whispered letting tears drop onto Tidus's bare chest.

"Of course babe" Tidus said reaching up and wiping her tears with his thumb. The couple layed in each others arms until drifting off into their dreamless slumber.

IN THE MORNING

Yuna awoke to the light snores of Tidus, she gently shook him but he didn't stir.

"Tidus, wake up honey" Yuna whispered, but still he didn't reply. Yuna rolled her eyes and leant in for a kiss, Tidus awoke with something in his mouth. His eyes shot open and realised that it was Yuna tongue. She broke the kiss and looked at a very happy and awake Tidus.

"Can you do that every morning?" Tidus said with a cocky grin planted on his face.

"Ill think about it, now everyone is waiting for us we have to get up" Yuna said blushing from his comments.

"Oh" Tidus replied noticing that Yuna was the only person on the beds.

"Ahem" A voice grunted, Yuna and Tidus turned to see a very red Rachel.

"I'm sorry to intrude but Talon and the others were wondering if Tidus could accompany them hunting" Rachel said looking away from the blushing couple.

"Sure" Tidus said getting up and putting on a shirt, he grabbed his sword and walked out of the hut. He made his way over to the group of men waiting around last nights fire.

" You ready to hunt?" Talon said taking out his own sword.

"You bet, but I think Lulu should come" Tidus said pointing over to the mage standing alone looking at the coconuts in a nearby tree.

"Uh sure" Talon said, he motioned Lulu over and continued talking to his brothers.

"Yes Talon?" Lulu asked walking over to the young man.

"Would you like to accompany us while we hunt, you know watch us men get down and dirty" Talon said smirking.

"Wow I would learn so much" Lulu said piling the sarcasm in.

"Good, then its settled" Talon yelled out. Lulu's jaw dropped he thought she was serious. Tidus held back the laughter that was spilling from his face and Wakka just stood there with no expression. The hunters left the campground and walked down a couple of passages. Talon and his brothers were singing an old zanarkand hymn. They entered a vast area, there were wild pigs running in between trees, and wild chocobos chasing each other up and down the hills.

"Okay men and girl, today we want two wild pigs" Talon said pointing to two pigs sleeping on some leaves. The Brothers started to sneak up on the pigs but on of them stepped on a twig, which startled the animals causing them to get up and chase the men. Lulu, Wakka and Tidus just stood back laughing so hard that they could hardly breath.

"Your turn Lulu" Tidus said patting the mages shoulder.

"I guess I should, I mean looks like the pigs are gaining on them" Lulu said coughing from laughter. She rolled her eyes and did her small dance before releasing a small fire spell. She didn't want to burn them but then again them being cooked would have its advantages. The pigs squealed and slowly went a light shade of brown.

"Wow, you were right Tidus my man. This one is feisty," Talon said panting from all the running. Lulu just rolled her eyes and instructed the brothers to pick up their brunch. (breakfast lunch)

BACK AT THE CAMPSITE

Rachel, Yuna and Rikku were busy in the kitchen, they were preparing a small dish. It had coconuts, berries and various herbs. They had mushed it up and it was now a thick paste. Rachel walked outside of the small hut and motioned the two girls to follow. Rachel led them to a small patch of flowers at the back of the area.

"Bevelle Tiger Lilies!" Yuna exclaimed reaching down to smell the scent. They had a light scent and it filled her nostrils with a heavenly aroma.

"Did you know you can eat them?" Rachel said picking a couple.

"Really?" Yuna said picking a couple for herself.

"Yep, we are going to put our paste on them and make a dessert for tonight" Rachel said picking a couple more before heading back to the hut. Rikku just followed behind them, she wasn't really into flora of anysort. But food was one of her favourite things in the world, so she decided to take some interest.

The girls walked back into the hut and heard the approaching voices of the men.

"We're back!" They announced walking over to the fire area. Yuna, Rikku and Rachel walked out and greeted the men, Yuna gave Tidus a hug and Rachel gave Talon a small kiss on the cheek.

"Brunch is served" The two men that were carrying the pigs said, they put the pigs down on some palm leaves that were used for the chocobo and stood back.

"Dig in guys" Talon said before taking a piece.
