Words left unspoken
-hiding behind rock- I'm so sorry! Man I have had this chapter written in rough for ages but no time to type it up. I've been really busy with coursework, and some family stuff. Although I did have free time still, I had to chose between writing or keeping up with reading other fanfictions. So I am really sorry! I have the next chapter half written in rough and I'll try to get it up before Christmas, but I'm trying to finish my final fantasy X-2 game at 100 too so I can't promise anything.
Also I better warn you that this chapter is just a filler, nothing really happens except some flashbacks and a squabble, lol, I can't picture them as a couple who wouldn't squabble. Hope you enjoy! And happy Christmas!
Back of Beyond: you'll find out now! Merry Christmas!
Saku.a: lol, I almost made it Gippal's girl, almost. But Gippal explains why this didn't happen. As for the getting bad…how did you guess? Lol, I'm so evil to them. Merry Christmas!
Angel Taisha: Sorry you've had to wait so long to find out. Glad you like the flashbacks, hope these ones are good too. Merry Christmas!
Shakai: Maybe a while, muhaha! I'm evil like that. Too too cute a couple I think, but in a good way. Merry Christmas!
Violet121: thanks! I think this one is longish too, but I hope you like it still. Merry Christmas!
Milki.E: I'm not too fond of the Zuus so that's why they were the evil one to take his poor eye. –cuddles Gippal- sorry for the delay! Merry Christmas!
Kairiyuna14: yes it should…if only –sigh- then I could be free to write this more! Oh well, glad you like it! Merry Christmas!
Master Theif: glad you like it! Sorry about the delay, I'll try not to do it again. Merry Christmas!
Xtreme Nuisance: here's more! It's very late though, lol, sorry. Merry Christmas!
First hurtful quarrel
It is the perfect name for you, completely perfect. It represents our lovey doveyness (if you tell anyone I said that I will hurt you) and it represents this new…relationship? Love? Technically we still aren't officially dating, but we have loved each other (don't try to deny that you didn't have a crush too) for about ten years now. So what do you call that?
All I know is this relationship makes me feel complete, like I can do anything. Maybe it's that, maybe we've finally become whole, found a missing part of us we didn't know we needed. Oh man, I know this is going to sound stupid but…maybe this new nickname will represent us as…soulmates. I know it sounds cheesy and fake, but everytime I'm near you my heart beats in time with yours. If your scared and I'm not (okay, maybe it would be the other way round but I am not going to admit that) my heart would speed up anyway if you're close enough, and even though we do have chemistry I think this is something different. Man, this could be a problem if one of us has a heart attack one day.
You were Ree when we were dating and even before that. That was when we had more of a puppy love thing going on, when we had each other but didn't need each other. Then you were Cid's girl when you were lost to me, when we grew apart and needed to live our own lives separately for a while. But I can't call you either of them now. They were for a different time and this is a new phase, the third and final one we have finally been able to reach. Sure, I could just call you Rikku but everyone else already does that. That wouldn't be showing my devotion, my love for you. You need a name that just screams out 'Gippal's girl'.
…Unfortunately Gippal's girl won't work because that's not all you are. Before you were Cid's girl because you were so much like him, you were daddy's little girl. But now you've grown up, saved the world a few times and started to realise life isn't just about fights and fun. You're not Cid's girl anymore.
So this new name will be perfect. It represents what you are to everyone and what you are to me. It shows you as a person and as a soulmate. It's the perfect name for the perfect girl.
Kuey (Ku-we) Hey don't laugh! I'm serious! Think about it: 'Ku' as in Rikku and 'we' as in soulmates, us together. Plus it sort of sounds like a cool battle cry, if you ever want to fight again you can cry out 'Kuey!' instead of 'Heeya!' like everyone else does. It's just perfect in so many ways.
…Yeah, it might take a while to get used to but I still think it's good. I'm sure you'll get used to it after the first few years.
"Report…Shoopuf…" Yuna heard faintly as she continued to pace the Guado mansion's main room. "Lady Yuna are you listening?" Tromell asked kindly.
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry! What did you say?"
"I was saying that we just received a report that the Shoopuf is running a little behind. You should really stop worrying so much over your cousin."
"That's what we keep saying." Tidus told him as he placed a reassuring arm around her.
"They'll be fine." Paine mumbled, already bored of saying the same words over and over. "The only reason they'll be taking so long is…"
"Because Paine's matchmaking is working." Baralai finished with a chuckle. Paine just glared at that, but gave him a small smirk underneath it.
"That's partly what I'm worried about." Yuna admitted. "What if they…"
"Fall of the shoopuf and take twenty minutes getting back up?" A male voice offered behind them. The group all to the room's entrance to see Rikku and a partly wet Gippal. Gippal was smirking at their faces while Rikku ran into a hug with her cousin. "First the machina broke down then the shoopuf was delayed because of fiends." Gippal told them. His hair had dried and was a complete mess; he was still in his Gun Mage dressphere but decided to change back to Alchemist at the looks on their faces.
"You fell off the shoopuf?" Paine asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The first time we jumped off to get rid of the fiends but the second time she pushed me." At this Rikku broke away from the hug and stuck out her tongue at him.
"Serves you right for not telling me what I want to know."
"And what's that? The thing about the symbol?" Yuna asked, now staring wide eyed at Rikku's neck.
"Nah, he said he was going to tell me a secret about when we first met but now he's changed his mind!"
"Um, Rikku, can I talk to you alone for a moment?" Yuna said, blushing slightly.
"Huh? Why?"
"Just come on." Yuna commanded while dragging her cousin out of the room and up the stairs to where her and Tidus where staying in. Paine came up shortly after and Yuna didn't object.
"What's wrong Yunie?" Rikku asked anxiously now. "Did something bad happen?"
"No, nothing happened. Rikku…are you and Gippal…together?"
"Huh? Why would you think that Yunie?" She asked innocently. Paine glared at her and Yuna just sighed.
"If you're going to deny it." Paine began slowly, striding over to the nervous Rikku. "I suggest you adjust your scarf so you can make it half convincing."
"Huh?" Rikku asked again, looking down at her scarf. "What's my scarf got to do with anything?" Yuna started laughing then while Paine grinned and dragged Rikku in front of a whole length mirror. "Ah!"
Now both Paine and Yuna were doubled over laughing as Rikku gazed at her poor neck. It was decorated with ugly love bites. "Oh no! I can't believe he didn't tell me I had them!" Rikku yelled at the mirror, trying to redo her scarf in order to cover them up. It was useless; if she covered the ones on her neck then the ones on her shoulders could be seen… "Dryd sayhea!" (That meanie!) She yelled, throwing her scarf on the floor and jumping on it. "E muug mega E ryja y tecayca!" ( I look like I have a disease!) Behind her Paine was still laughing but Yuna had managed to compose herself a little. After all, she didn't understand the disease comment like Paine did.
"It's not that bad Rikku, we can cover it up. Leblanc left some make up behind in the mansion when she left." Her cousin said, still grinning as she handed over the little powder box. "It's the same colour as your skin so just put it over them and you'll be fine." Rikku took it with a little grumble, already planning gippal's murder in her head.
"How come we're staying here and not in the hotel anyway?" She asked eventually.
"Tromell said it would be an honour to have us stay here." Yuna explained. "Your room is at the end of the hall…and Gippal's is opposite." Rikku frowned at the weird look that crossed Yuna's face then.
"What's wrong now?"
"She's concerned about how you got those things on your neck." Paine explained. "And what else you've been doing to have been delayed so long."
"The shoopuf was attacked remember."
"Yeah but it took you a long time to get to the actual shoopuf as well."
"We were waiting to see if the machina could be fixed!"
"And what were you doing while you were waiting?" Yuna spoke up in a firm motherly tone.
"…Talking."
"And?"
"Oh fayth you think we…you guys! We were traveling on a public road!"
"But you still let him suck your neck." Yuna pointed out but looked a little more relaxed. She knew when Rikku was lying and she wasn't now.
"I was interrogating him about stuff but…it didn't quite work as I planned." She admitted. "He turned my own plan against me!"
"I doubt you complained much." Paine accused with a false glare. "But just be careful to take it slow. Gippal loves you but he can be careless sometimes, we don't want you to regret anything." Rikku rolled her eyes with a sigh, carefully applying the powder onto her neck.
"Don't worry mum, I'm not going to let him knock me up…besides, I don't think I'm ready for that kind of thing."
"Maybe, but sometimes you can be swept away in the moment whether you're ready or not." Yuna told her, blushing deeply as her cousin and Paine gave her a quizzed look. Yuna, who'd have thought…
"I do have some self control thank you. And this may be hard to believe but so does Gippal…I think." She argued uncertainly. Really, for all she knew Gippal could have slept with half of Spira's women during the past two years. But she could so resist him…right?
"Anyway." Paine suddenly said; a small smirk on her face. "Now that this awkward talk is mostly over, what are you planning for revenge on Gippal?"
His potion had run out and sleep had been growing more difficult to achieve. As they had neared Guadosalam he had collapsed into sleep, nightmares of the baby shoopuf plaguing him. What was wrong with him? Why hadn't he checked his potion before and filled up?
"Silly boy/" Acacia said as her concern when he woke up in the tunnel leading to the Thunder Plains. "Why can't you sleep when we do instead of having to make us carry you?"
"I try mum but I can't! My potion ran out and I can't sleep without it." His voice was shaky, the dream still in his mind. Was he going to become that shoopuf baby? Was he going to die too?
"Gippal I don't have time for your little tricks to get some attention, your father will be done here soon and then we can cross the Thunder Plains. You better not collapse there or I'll leave you, now go and explore while I gather some items from the shop. I might even get some for your stupid potion if you be good." Gippal sighed but did as he was told, he didn't really want to explore the town, the Guados were funny looking and they scared him. But he didn't want to be there when his mum robbed the shop either. He was too fed up to make sure she didn't get hurt; he just wanted to go…
"Uilr." (Ouch) Gippal muttered as he landed on his butt. He glanced up nervously at the teenage…Guado? Human? Blue hair?
"How dare you walk into me you filth!" The boy spoke venomously. Gippal didn't reply, too mesmorised by the hair. "I'll teach you to…"
"Young Seymour please!" Tromell spoke up beside him. "We are very late for your father and the Al Bhed isn't worth the hassle." Seymour glared at the Guado but nodded and looked back at Gippal.
"If I see you again desert rat then I will use a fire spell and roast you more than any sun could." This stupid promise was finished with a hard kick in Gippal's stomach and a quickened walk towards the main mansion. Gippal glared at their backs, trying to hate them with every ounce he had. It didn't work though. This Seymour was less hateful than the man; he still would be if he were to become Sin!
Gippal clumsily climbed to his feet and made sure to watch where he was going as he wandered the town. The Guados glared at him with hatred, but no more than the other Spirans did. Acacia had always told him that Guados hated the Al Bhed more than anyone else. Lord Jyscho had wanted to attack Home for years yet his people hadn't killed him just for daring to walk in their town. Strange.
Gippal found the man just outside of Guadosalam, a dead female Guado under his knife. The young Al Bhed gulped at the sight but didn't say anything.
"What's your mother doing?" The man asked gruffly after he'd dragged the body into the shelter of the trees.
"She went to rob the item shop." Gippal said quietly, waiting while the man started cursing.
"That stupid woman is going to get herself killed! And you don't look awake enough to save her…fine, you'll have to get it while I save her."
"Get what sir?"
"In Lord Jyscho's mansion he has a sphere with the coordinates for Home's location recorded on it. He plans to attack it soon, before I can do it first! Ever since we left Home I've wanted to find it, to destroy it. But I've forgotten the way and Acacia won't tell me how to get there! I need that sphere! With it I can wipe out you rats all at once instead of praying and picking you off one by one. You must get it and bring it here!"
"But…"
"Don't you question my orders! Now go!" Gippal sighed and quickly ran back to the town, knowing it would be pointless to argue. Besides…if the Guados really did have that sphere they could do a lot more damage to Home than one man.
"How am I supposed to get in?" He asked himself doubtfully. There were Guado guards on either side of the door so he couldn't just walk in…
Then he remembered how the guards at Kilika had reacted and swallowed nervously. If he was wrong about this…
"Ah!" He yelled manically, running towards them with his arms waving about. "You killed her! Murderers! Monsters! I hate you!" The guards looked down at him, too startled to react as he thumped uselessly at one of their thighs. However they shook themselves from their trance as the murmurs of a gathering crowd began. "How dare you hurt her! How dare-" The guard slapped him hard across the face and Gippal fell at his feet, faking an epileptic fit. The crowd gasped, ignoring the guard's orders to go about their business.
"What shall we do?" The guard closest to Gippal asked.
"Let's take him inside and inform Lord Jyscho." As they picked him up Gippal went limp, looking every bit unconscious.
The plan had worked…
Now what?
"What are they doing up there?" Gippal grumbled, now fully dry after an hour of waiting.
"Probably giving a lecture about hickeys." Tidus smirked, but then looked seriously at Gippal. "And speaking of lectures…" Gippal smiled nervously, knowing what was coming next. He looked about for any possible aid, but saw Baralai talking with Tromell on the far side of the room. "Mind telling me what your intentions with Rikku are?"
Oh Ochu, why can't I be like everyone else and be able to convince myself this is just a bad dream? Stupid sleeping disorder.
"Well?"
"..My intentions with Rikku are nothing but respectful."
"I find that hard to believe." Tidus muttered. "Rikku told me about you reputation before I even met you. She said you're a player." Gippal groaned at that, he had only ever told Nooj he was a player yet everyone else…
"Do all cocky arrogant bastards automatically become players? I really don't get that."
"So you're saying you're a virgin?"
"No."
"Then how can we trust you with Rikku?"
"Because." He said childishly.
"Because what?" This was so annoying! If only he could just slip away… Do not tell him something that will make him puke. Gippal commanded himself firmly. "Because from the moment I saw her, I mean, because when we're near…" Screw it. "When she's near me I just feel whole and complete and it's not just because of physical attraction its something different and I…"
"Whoa! Okay." Tidus smirked while scratching his head. "I know what you mean, I feel it with Yuna. But…why did you hurt Rikku before? Why did you break up?"
"Because I was an idiot, I made the mistake of being ordered about…again. But I lost my eye for that girl and I would gladly lose the other one. I would die in order to keep her happy; I would never hurt her again. You've got to believe that." Tidus was silent for a while after that, until a warm smile crossed his features.
"You lost your eye for her?" Gippal just shrugged.
"Well actually it was my fault because the only reason she went to steal that egg was because I…"
"Yeah." Tidus interrupted. "You just be careful with her or I know a lot of people who will hurt you for hurting her."
"Gee thanks."
"Your welcome." Tidus grinned as he strolled over to Baralai and Tromell. The three of them talked for a while quietly before Tidus and Baralai left the room together, probably comparing wedding plans.
"Why do you have to have so many fighter friends?" Gippal muttered under his breath. He noticed Tromell begin to approach him and found he had to hold down an old wave of fear.
"I never recognised you until you came into this house. Seeing you close up instead of on a sphere has made my older memories flicker." Gippal just watched him cautiously. "You are the one who broke in here twelve years ago and stole something very valuable of Lord Jyschos."
"So?" Gippal asked coldly.
"I believe I saved your life."
"And I believe you took my mothers." Gippal spat back. "You want a thank you for that?" The old man sighed tiredly, a look of deep regret on his face.
"I am deeply sorry about you mother, I was aiming for the man with her but she got in the way." The two were silent for a long time and Gippal couldn't help but shuffle about nervously.
"Guess I can't hold it against you really, she wanted the bullet. Where did you get that gun anyway?"
"From your companion, he left it in the shop after they robbed it."
"Oh."
"…That man, was he your...?"
"No." Gippal said firmly.
"I see, but he is the one who performed the attack on Besaid is he not?"
"Yeah, I always thought he was dead until I saw that symbol of his. This time…he has to be stopped for good."
"Do your companions know he is part of your past?"
"Only Rikku knows and I prefer it that way for now." Tromell just nodded his understanding. Silence reigned once again between the pair for a good few minutes.
"May I just say how terribly sorry I am about your mother, her death did not bring me any pleasure." Gippal just nodded slightly with a grunt. "And I would like to thank you for stealing that sphere; it prevented the deaths of many Al Bhed people."
"In the end a lot of them died anyway." Gippal muttered. "How did you find Home without the sphere?"
"Lord Seymour forced the information out of an Al Bhed, he used the most dreadful methods." The old Guado sighed, pacing the room quietly. "I know the destruction of Home must have cost many lives…but at least then some of your people were able to escape on that ship." Gippal smiled slightly in agreement, making a note to thank Rikku about salvaging it later on.
"I guess your right, if Home was going to face the inevitable destruction that was the better time. It made us realise we couldn't hide away from Spira anymore, that if we wanted to defend ourselves we had to fight in order to become equal first…Home was the main reason I started up the faction, to show we could have power and not misuse it. But with these attacks happening…I don't ever want to go back to being hated. We shouldn't have to live with it anymore." He watched the old guado smile sadly while moving to stand beside him.
"As long as you are leading your Faction that will never happen my boy." Tromell said with a chuckle. "I watched you burst in here twelve years ago, trick the guards, take on Seymour, escape alive and even save your people's Home from being discovered. It is people like you who will change others long set opinions, just like you changed mine that day. If I had been a braver man I would have run with you, but I am not."
"You're braver than you think old man." Gippal told him, earning a chuckle. "You helped save my life and you gave me the chance to hope again. I owe you so much and more than anything I want our people to keep the peace with each other, to forget the past."
"Well Master Gippal, maybe once this is all over we can begin to form that alliance." The old Guado held out a shaky hand, one Gippal didn't hesitate to take.
"I look forward to it."
They carried him through a room and into a hidden passageway. Gippal tried to make sense of directions but didn't dare keep his eyes open long in case one of the guards saw he was awake. Instead he kept them closed as he felt himself being laid on the floor gently, a lot gentler than he expected for two Guado guards carrying an Al Bhed.
"…He's so small." The one who had struck him muttered. "He must be a brave one to try and tackle us."
"Or just plain crazy." The other said grumpily. "We must tell Lord Jyscho about him."
"I know, but can't we wait? He did not want to be disturbed while meeting his son anyway. Maybe by then the boy will wake up and straighten himself out, if he behaves well enough Lord Jsycho might allow him to work as a servant here."
"Stop it Landon, you're too soft." Gippal heard a sigh escape Landon before the two left the room, locking the door. Gippal waited a few minutes before he opened his tired eyes and scanned the room. He was in a small store room with a strange swirling sphere in the middle. Gippal eyed it cautiously before turning away and searching through all the boxes in the room. Some contained items like potions or Al Bhed grenades (which he kept) some had weapons (a nice pair of daggers he tucked into his boots) and some had spheres.
Some of them Gippal found were blank and placed in his pocket for future investigating on their technology. Others had recordings on them; and not particularly nice ones either.
The first had been of a crusader battle against Sin. It had made Gippal shiver in fear at seeing the thing so close up. He had only seen it once before and at a far distance; he never wanted to see it again. The next few were of a woman and her Guado husband lovingly caring for their half and half baby. Gippal watched them silently, remembering the days when his mother used to be as loving as this one. But soon the spheres began to show an angry child, all alone now that his mother had become a fayth, now hungry for power.
Gippal shivered as he watched them, vowing to himself he would never overuse power if he ever got any.
The last few that he watched made him gag; he would have thrown up if anything was in his stomach. The spheres showed slaughters of Al Bheds, his people screaming out for help, help he was too late to give as they were tortured, sliced, ravaged…
…And on most of them was Lord Jyscho, smiling happily at the work achieved.
"Oui pycdynt!" (You bastard!) Gippal yelled at the sphere. " Oui'na funca dryh dra Yevonites yht oui'na uhmo uha lnaydina!" (You're worse than the Yevonites and you're only one creature!) He threw the sphere across the room, watching it shatter as he curled into a helpless ball.
What was he suppose to do? He couldn't get out of the room in order to get the sphere, it wasn't in here! All those people pleading for help…and he couldn't save them; couldn't ever save anyone. Not the Al Bhed, not his mother, not himself.
"But you saved Darling." He told himself, happily climbing to his feet. "You made a difference for her and the man is a lot scarier than some dumb lock…" Gippal grinned, a plan now forming in his mind.
"Come on Kuey open the door!" Rikku grinned a little, making sure to wait a whole minute more before slinging the door open and glaring at Gippal. "Erm, Cunno?" He asked with a sheepish grin, one that almost made her melt right then and there. Almost.
"What do you want you jerk?" She asked coldly, watching him quirk an eyebrow at her outfit.
Rikku was wearing long trousers, a long baggy top with a small winter coat on top. Three scarves were wrapped round her neck and she had a hat on. She could see he wanted to laugh, but even he wasn't that stupid.
"Look Rikku it was a joke! You were supposed to laugh." Gippal told her defensively, but spoiled it by smirking at her outfit. "Where'd you get those clothes?"
"Wardrobe." Rikku said shortly, watching him sigh and close the door as he walked in.
"Look I'm sorry about the 'joke' but I'm not sorry about your neck."
"Why?" Rikku burst, her original silent/cold treatment instantly forgotten. "Do you think I like being purple? Or are you just trying to prove to everyone I'm your property!" She watched as he scratched the back of his neck nervously. "You are aren't you? You thought I wouldn't tell them about us so you marked me!"
"Calm down Kuey, they're just love bites, they'll go away."
"Why don't you trust me to tell them? Do you think some random guy is going to appear and take me away from you unless I have a gross neck? Is it…the only reason you gave me them?" Rikku stopped then and blinked at the look on Gippal's face. Oh no, he was getting angry now, she could tell by the stern way his mouth was set.
"I gave them to you because I got caught up in the moment." Gippal said calmly, too calmly. "And yeah, maybe I didn't warn you about them so that the others would know about us. You weren't going to tell them were you?"
"Yes."
"You're lying."
"Fine! I wasn't going to! I didn't want to suffer through a sex talk like I just did!"
"Is that the only reason?"
"Yes!"
"I don't believe you; I think you're ashamed to be my girlfriend."
"Well you're an idiot to think it!"
"Then why are you wearing THAT?" Gippal yelled back now, a furious look on his face.
"Because I'm making a statement!" Rikku whispered aggressively while stamping a foot, she was beginning to worry Yuna and Paine would hear them.
"Yeah I can see that." Gippal whispered back. "And it's 'Don't ever touch me again because I hate you'."
"No it's not!"
"Then what is the statement?"
"I don't know anymore!"
"Well there you go then." Gippal said with a triumphant smirk, it wasn't a nice smirk either.
"Ooo I hate you sometimes Gippal!"
"Well I hate you sometimes too!" The next thing Rikku was aware of was his lips, her thickly covered body pressing against his…Whoa! This wasn't supposed to end this way! She had to stay stern to teach him a lesson, not kiss him…no matter how nice it was.
Rikku pulled away slightly and looked at him, a warm smirk on his face now. Well, at least he wasn't angry anymore.
"You can never stay mad at me long can you Kuey?" He whispered teasingly into her ear. "You know what; I think you were trying to make the statement 'undress me'."
"Sayhea!" (Meanie!) Rikku burst, trying to pull herself from his arms but failing. "E's hud dymgehk du oui!" (I'm not talking to you!)
"Famm, hud fedr funtc yd maycd." (Well, not with words at least.) Gippal grinned while licking his lips. Rikku pouted at him and tried to stamp on his feet, but he still wouldn't let go. "Why are you so worked up about this anyway? What bad influences has Dr. P been giving?"
"…I just don't want to be known as another of Gippal's women." Rikku told him quietly while hiding her face in his chest. "You're the player type you know? And I don't want to end up as a one night stand or a sex object for you." His grip had tightened on her, the only sign of his anger coming back. Oh fayth, is he going to dump me now?
"Do you remember I said I had a secret about when we first met?" Gippal began quietly, so quiet Rikku only dared nod as a reply. "Well, the moment I saw you, and you smiled at me, you made me…it's hard to explain." He sighed, letting her go and instead taking her hand while looking into her eyes. "At that point I was ready to give up, just not hope or care about life anymore. But when I saw you, you made me want to become something, just so you would notice. You saved my life, if anything were to happen to you…"
"I know." Rikku said softly, cuddling him close again. "I'm sorry I'm not very trusting."
"I would never use you like that Rikku, never. You mean too much to me."
"But if we do, ya know, I wouldn't be the first would I?"
"No."
"…How many?"
"Does it matter?"
"A little."
"Why?" Gippal asked angrily, moving out of her embrace. "That's the past now, it's not like I would go and do it now."
"I just want to know, that's all."
"But I've told you a lot of painful and embarrassing stuff!" He protested. "I haven't heard anything about what you did between defeating Sin and that whole Vegnagun stuff."
"You know what I did." Rikku said as calmly as she could manage, which wasn't a lot.
"No I don't! I don't know anything Rikku! Why should I have to tell you everything when for all I know you could have been a stripper!" Rikku screamed in fury then, slapping him hard on the cheek and pushing towards the door.
"Veha! Ev oui fuh'd damm sa tuh'd damm sa! Zicd mayja sa yht sa halg ymuha!" (Fine! If you won't tell me don't tell me! Just leave me and me neck alone!)
"Veha!" (Fine!)
"VEHA!" (FINE!) Rikku yelled slamming the door behind him, she managed to viciously take off the ridiculous clothes and climb into bed before the tears started flowing.
Just wanted to apologise again for the lateness, I am so bad at keeping updates and I don't want to end up only posting every few months like with my other story. So after this fanfic is through with (don't worry, still has a while to go) I'm going to write out my other stories till the end before beginning to post them. I have three main ideas, and so I'll post the briefing of them and see which ones you like the idea of so I can write that one first.
In the absence of sight
Shortly after the incident with Vegnagun Gippal of the machine Faction disappears. Then a year later he returns blind and revealing a new threat to Spira. He joins forces with the ex Gullwings and the two Spirian leaders to stop it. Rikku meanwhile is still confused over his disappearance, and what really happened to him to disappear for a year.
Tale of two Gippals (may change title)
During a trip to Luca Gippal discovers his long lost twin Ripley! Only Ripley is in trouble, being targeted by assassins against the Al Bhed Yevonites. They decide to switch places in order to keep him safe. Now Gippal must put up with the Yevonites, the dress (err…robe), the polite afternoon tea conversations and the assassins trying to kill him. Ripley must adjust to the machine faction, and try to work out the confusing relationship his brother has with a certain Al Bhed girl…
Three years of surviving you (may change title)
A secret Al Bhed tribe has threatened Spira, attacking Baralai into a coma. Now Gippal and Rikku must lead their people against this new threat for their rightful equality in Spira…but in order to do that they have to marry! Can they work together and stop the threat? Or will they kill each other before the three years are over?
Please tell me which one you prefer, I've written a bit for each so will do them all eventually, but it will take a while.
