Chapter 3

Because I am sooo nice I've decided to put three chapters up for my first day with fanfic...please review!

Enjoy this chapter and maybe this weekend I'll update.

Yuna woke up with tears in her eyes. She quickly whipped them away because Rikku was coming to check on her and Yuna didn't want her cousin to see her like this.

"Hey your up!" Rikku spoke loudly.

"Yeah, could you be a little quieter?" Yuna asked.

"Oh yeah sure, sorry" Rikku shrugged.

Yuna got dressed and brushed her hair and teeth. She walked down to the lower level and slumped into one of the chairs at the bar.

"Morning Barkeep!" Yuna cheerfully greeted with a smile on her face but no happiness behind it.

"Good morning Mish Yoona, would you like shome breakfasht thish morning?" Barkeep questioned.

"Sure, thanks" Yuna said.

After eating breakfast, Yuna walked into the lift and up to the bridge. Yuna looked around noticing that everyone was there except forBrother.

"Good morning!" Yuna greeted everyone," Where's Brother?"

"He hasn't come up yet," Buddy said the door opened to the bridge and in the doorway stood a miserable looking Brother," But hear he is," Buddy pointed over to the door.

"Good morning Brother!" Yuna greeted with a big smile on her face.

"Hi," Brother mumbled.

"Xned'm xhyrk, Phy?"(What's wrong, Bro?)Rikku asked.

"Rydnurk,"(Nothing)Brother replied.

Rikku gave him a look, as if she was reading him. Yuna moved closer to Rikku.

"What's wrong with Brother?" Yuna whispered.

"Just meet me on the deck and I'll tell you there…I figured out what's wrong," Rikku whispered.

Later in the afternoon Rikku was waiting for Yuna up on the deck gazing out into the clouds. Yuna ran up to Rikku trying to catch her breath.

"Hey, sorry I'm late, Paine was…well nevermind, so what's wrong with Brother?" Yuna panted.

"You haven't noticed yet?" Rikku said surprised," Everyone else has."

"So clue me in!" Yuna commanded.

"He likes you!" Rikku shouted.

Yuna looked at Rikku and then ran into the lift and down to the bridge Rikku following not to far behind. Yuna raced through the bridge door and kissed Brother on the cheek. Yuna then looked up at him and said, "Brother, thanks."

"For what?" Brother interrogated, his eyes large in shock.

"For being one of my best friends," Yuna said calmly.

Brother blushed and started prancing and dancing and singing around the whole ship.

"You sure made his day," Paine giggled under her breath.

"We got a call from Wakka, apparently things are getting ugly with all the fiends pouring out of the temple," Buddy informed.

"What? The temple?" Yuna said shocked by the information.

--------

"Hey guys!" Wakka shouted as he ran towards the Gullwings.

"Hey tubby," Rikku teased.

"Hey, I'm gonna be a father soon ya, I got to look the part," Wakka notified.

"What? When?" Rikku chirped jumping up and down.

"Any day now, ya?" Wakka said proudly," You guys wanna see Lu?"

"Of course," Yuna ensured Wakka.

Wakka led the way down to the barren village to his hut. Outside the hut Lulu stood looking angry.

"Where have you been?" Lulu asked Wakka.

"I went to go see the Gullwings ,ya?" Wakka reassured Lulu.

"Yeah we heard your baby was due any day now," Rikku said excitedly.

"No, Wakka is a little excited," Lulu calmly told the Gullwings.

"We also heard that there's been trouble coming from the temple," Yuna mentioned.

"Yes, we've been having some fiend trouble," Lulu said with a worried tone," No one knows what's causing it."

"Well that's why the Gullwings are here!" Rikku cheerfully giggled.

"Yeah, but can we sleep first?" Yuna yawned," I'm really tired."

"You can sleep at our place," Lulu offered.

Yuna fell backward on to Rikku. Rikku caught Yuna and looked down at the peacegul sleeping Yuna and carried her into Lulu and Wakkas hut.

"I guess someone's tired," Paine chuckled.

--------

The next morning Yuna, startled sat up quickly in bed confused.

"Good morning sleepyhead," Wakka teased.

"Good morning," Yuna hesitated, "Hey Rikku, umm…what happened last night?"

"You fell back on to me and was out like a light," Rikku giggled," Luckily I was there to catch you!"

"Hey guys if your done chatting let's go fight some fiends!" Paine interrupted.

Yuna, Rikku and Paine ran into the temple prepared for anything that came their way. They raced through the Cloister of Trials and into the room before the Fayth, and there standing right in front of the was the darker form of Yuna's first aeon-Valefor.

"No it…it can't be," Yuna cried.

The Gullwings took their fighting position ready to fight this very dark aeon. Valefor rose up and used sonic wings, nearly knocking Yuna over and Rikku and Paine barely dodged it.

" Alright that's it!" Paine shouted.

Paine ran up and attacked Valefor repeatedly. Rikku pulled out one of her grenades and threw it at Valefors stomach. Valefor yelped in pain, then looking at Yuna anddid its Energy Blast knocking her into the wall. Yuna unconscious laied there.

"YUNA!" Paine screamed.

"YUNIE!" Rikku bellowed, "You didn't have to take your anger out on Yunie! I was the one that threw the grenade at you!"

Once again Rikku infuriated with Valefor threw another grenade at Valefor. This time the grenade exploded on his head, the only thing left was dancing pyreflies. Paine and Rikku both rushed over to Yuna. Rikku looked back to see that Valefor had made a huge hole, but caring more for her friend she turned back around.

Rikku shook Yuna gently, "Yunie…come on wake up."

"Its no use, she's out cold," Paine moaned.

Paine carried Yuna out of the temple with Rikku following behind her. Outside Wakka and Lulu were waiting impatiently. When Wakka saw Paine walk out with Yuna in her arms he ran as fast as his legs could carry him over to Paine, Lulu not far behind him.

"What happened?" Lulu asked urgently.

"Ask Rikku, I need to get Yuna back to the ship," Paine mumbled walking by them.

Rikku stopped and told them everything that happened. Back on the ship Paine brought Yuna up to her bed, Paine went down to the lower level and got a washcloth and then ran cold water over it. Paine went back up with Yuna and placed the washcloth on her forehead. Rikku shortly joined Paine.

"Is Yunie going to be alright?" Rikku questioned Paine.

"Yeah, she just needs some rest," Paine replied, "You didn't tell Brother did you?"

"Uh…" Rikku sighed.

"Rikku!" Paine yelled.

"Its okay he's just a little upset…okay so he's really upset, I'm sorry you never told me not to tell him," Rikku said quickly.

"Ugh…you're right," Paine agreed.

Then Paine looked over at Yuna and noticed she was twitching.

Next Chapter: Yuna finally wakes up, but now there's trouble in Kilika. Could it be another one of Yunas former friends?

And let me remind you to please review!
