Okay, this is the sequal to Hearing Voices. I dedicate this story to Chibi-sorrow and MakoAnima fo all of the support and advise they gave me in the original. This will pick up exactly where I left off, but will tell what happened after Rikku brought Auron home to meet the family.

Summary: Auron is back and able to be with Rikku now thanks to the gift of the fayth. But what happens when Auron (an ex-warrior monk) and Cid (leader of the Al Bhed) get together? Will Auron ever be able to prove himself to Rikku's father?

Disclaimer: I have yet to own these characters or anything else. Please do not ask me again or I may have to get violent.

Now that that is out of the way, time to begin. Oh btw, this will be rated T for some Al Bhed swearing. But that won't come for some time. Just wanted to warn you.

"He's back. He's come back." Rikku could only whisper as Auron held her in his arms.

Tidus and Yuna stared at the new couple with surprise and slight amazment. Auron was standing in front of them alive and very much younger looking. Gone was the scar that ran down the right side of his face. Gone was the gray hair only to be replaced with a full head of black, much like when he had journeyed with Braska and Jecht. He was holding Rikku and, was that a smile on his face?

Rikku held onto him so tight it was as if she feared if she would let go, he would vanish. She also had a smile on her face as well. Plus she had spoken! It had been so long since either of them had seen this side of her.

"Hey, Rikku," Tidus began. "Maybe I missed something. But is this the reason why you have been so depressed?" He scrached the back of his head as he asked.

Auron loosened his grip to look down at her. "Depressed?" He questioned. Rikku let out a nervous chuckle before glaring at her blond friend.

Yuna, being the voice of reason, came up with that she hoped they could all agree on. "Why don't we wait until we get back to Besaid? Once there Rikku can tell us all about what happened. Does that sound alright to you, Sir Auron?"

"Yes, that is a wonderful idea. Don't you agree, Rikku?"

She stopped glaring at Tidus to lift her eyes to look at the man who stood behind her. "Yes, I do too." She answered. She gave him another smile as she looked into his eyes. She couldn't help it, she was just so happy now.

Yuna seeing the affection between them decided it was time to go. Quietly, so as not to disturb the new lovers, she urged her husband back down to the lower deck.

That night Rikku and Auron stayed up late as he explained why he was back and to what lenths he went to find her. The fayth had given him a second chance at life and he was determained to make the best of what he had now. He held her close that night and rufused to let her go until morning came.

Rikku for her part slept better then she had in a long time. She no longer had dreams or nightmares that haunted her sleep. That night she dreamed of getting married and having children, blond and dark haired, running around at her feet. She dreamed of Auron's lips on her own and how wonderful they felt. This was how life should be.

Morning came too soon for them, when Yuna came knocking on the door to tell them that they had arrived in Besaid. She grinned when they all exited the boat together, Auron and Rikku trying to secretly hold hands. It was rather endering. She glanced over at her own husband who appeared as if he should still be in bed. Today was going to be a good day, she could feel it.

Okay, I know it's so short, but it's only the prolouge. In the next chapter we will find out about all of the plotholes I left open in the last part. Cid will be showing up soon too. I do have one request though, could someone please give me an idea on what to call Rikku's brother. I don't want to go this whole story saying brother brother brother. Because he's going to play a big part. Thanks in advance if you do. Gining.
