Chapter 9

Hey my peeps! lol anyway this is chapter 9...DUH! As you can oviously tell...lol story I didn't update until now. I had piles upon piles of homework this week but I'll be updating this weekend so be on the look out for my chappies!

Yuna was lying on her bed with Rikku on one side and Paine on the other, Yuna's shoulders were all bandaged up,Rikku and Paine were waiting for her to wake up. It had been a couple of days before Yuna actually started to move. Rikku shook Yuna lightly hoping that she would finally wake up. Yuna's eyes opened slowly.

"Paine, Yuna is waking up!" Rikku said looking over at Paine who had fallen asleep waiting for Yuna to wake up, "Party pooper."

Rikku helped Yuna sit up so she could drink some water that Rikku got for her awhile before Yuna woke up.

"Thanks," Yuna whispered.

"No problem, do you think we should wake Paine up?" Rikku asked looking over at Paine again.

"No just let her sleep she looks tired," Yuna replied.

Yuna got out of bed and walked over to Paine, Yuna found a blanket and covered her up. When she turned around she saw Rikku asleep on her bed. Yuna went down to the lower level as quiet as she possibly could, and walked to the lift andup to the bridge.

"Hi guys," Yuna greeted as she walked through the door.

"Hello," Buddy greeted back.

"Hello Yuna how are you feeling?" Brother asked racing up to her and kneeling on his right knee, "Where's Rikku and Paine?"

"I'm better now and their asleep, they looked really tired so I didn't have the heart to wake them up," Yuna responded patting Brother on the head like a little puppy.

"Hi Yuna," Shinra greeted looking over the top of his chair.

"Well you might want go wake them up we have an emergency," Buddy informed.

"Koccurkm hibohd dy dni phutki" Brother yelled over the intercom, "Gullwings report to the bridge."

Paine and Rikku ran in and Paine looked over at Yuna surprised to see that she was awake and standing with out any help or support.

"What are you doing up?" Paine asked amazed.

"Well I feel a whole lot better," Yuna answered.

"Gullwings we have an emergency call from Kilika," Buddy informed, "There's been more fiends coming from the temple again."

"Great first Besaid and now Kilika, what next Djose!" Paine complained.

"Maybe it's Seymours doing," Yunas mind raced about trying to figure out the answer.

Well…what are we waiting for?" Rikku danced,"Lets go!"

The Celsius roared up into the air and left the warm welcoming beaches of Besaid. Yuna went up to the deck to relax a little before landing in Kilika. Yuna lied down on the floor of the deck and watched the clouds leap across the sky. Yuna rolled over and closed her eyes, before she knew it Yuna had fallen asleep.

When Yuna woke up she felt a cool breeze flow through her hair. Yuna walked up to the side of the deck and looked at the docks of Kilika, she felt a tiny raindrop hit the tip of her nose andheaded for the lift and down to the bridge.

"Where's Rikku and Paine?" Yuna asked rubbing her eyes.

"They went to see Dona and Barthello," Shinra pointed out to Yuna.

"Thanks Shinra," Yuna yawned.

Yuna gleefully skipped down the platform and walked to Dona and Barthello's house. Yuna knocked on the front door, but there was no answer. Yuna opened the door a jarand poked her head in, "Hello?"

No one was there. Yuna left the house and walked to the gate that lead to Kilika Woods. Yuna ran through the woods and up to the temple, that's where Yuna found Rikku and Paine chatting away with some villagers.

"Hey Yunie!" Rikku shouted.

"Hey Yuna," Paine said walking over to join Rikku and Yuna.

"Why did you guys leave with out me?" Yuna questioned stomping her foot on the marble temple floor.

"Well, I did come up and shake you but you ignored me," Paine argued.

"Y-you did?" Yuna said scratching the back of her head.

"Yeah," Paine nodded

"Sorry," Yuna apologized.

"Its fine you didn't have to apologize," Paine said.

"Sorry," Yuna said smiling.

"Well if you two are ready, lets go solve the fiend problem," Rikku interrupted theirwhat seemed like a never-ending apology.

"Hey!" Barthello bellowed, "Glad to see you here…we're low on help in there."

"What happened to your stomach?" Yuna examined.

"Oh…its intense inside the temple…we need help," Barthello winced falling to his knees hold his stomach.

"Lets go," Paine urged.

"We can't just leave him here," Yuna protested.

"Fine, Rikku go find someone to help Barthello and lets go!" Paine commanded.

Rikku ran over to one of the nearby villagers that they were talking to earlier and explained the condition Barthello was in and that he needed to be taken care of immediately. The villager agreed to take care of him while they went in and fought the fiends. The Gullwings sprinted into the temple.

On their way to the Chamber of Fayth the Gullwings stumbled across several dead bodies. Finally they came to the room just outside of the Chamber of Fayth to see Yunas second aeon-Ifrit stationed in front of them. Above Ifrit Seymour appeared.

"Ah, I see you've made it this far, but this is the only farther you will go Lady Yuna," Seymour hissed, "You can not stop Shuyin and I." Then he dissolved leaving only an echo of laughter behind that sent chills downRikku, Paine and Yunas spines,along with Ifrit.

"But be full warned if you three die…So will your friend Seymour echoed, "If one of you dies the torch will get closer to the straw around the pole which has your friend strapped to it."

Paine, Rikku, and Yuna looked over at the far left corner of the room to see, Wakka strapped to the pole.

"Wakka!" Rikku screamed.

Yuna stood in complete shock to see that Wakka was the one strapped to the pole surrounded by golden brown straw.

"Alright lets kick some ass!" Paine cried out.

Rikku, Yuna and Paine surrounded Ifrit ready to fight. Ifrit turned to Rikku and used its fire attack. Rikku unprepared for the attack got slammed into the wall. Rikkus face was scourged very badly.

"RIKKU!" Paine yelled.

Yuna looked over at Wakka and saw the torch drop closer to the straw. Yuna turned around to see Paine plunge her sword into the beasts mighty back, Ifrit howled it agony. Ifrit glared at Paine and swiped one of its powerful paws at Paine, and was smacked into the wall behind her. The force of the attack was so immense that the wall and ceiling collapsed on top of her crushing her underneath the rubble.

"PAINE!" Yuna screamed.

Yuna glanced over at the torch to see it plunged further. Yuna gripped tightly on her pistols.

"Just the way I planned," Seymour chuckled, "Lady Yuna fighting one of her formal friends, alone."

Ifrit leaped up and buried Yuna deep into the floor. Seymour evilly laughed.

"Yes now that I have killed the Gullwings, Shuyin and I can continue to follow through with our plans peacefully," Seymour giggled evilly under his breath.

Seymour glared over at the torch and noticed it did not budge an inch. Out of the silence came several shots from the hole which Yuna was forced into. Ifrit fell into the ground, and just like that Seymour disappeared. Yuna sat up and limped over to Wakka. Yuna took the torch down and threw it aside. After untying Wakka, Paine managed to climb out of the compact stone.

"Eh, you alright?" Wakka asked Paine and Yuna.

"Yeah, I guess," Paine groaned.

"Yeah," Yuna moaned.

The silence was broken when Rikku screamed, everyones attention quickly turned to Rikku who was sobbing and each time she would go to wipe her tears, she would rub her tender, burnt skin. Wakka, Paine, and Yuna scurried over to help her up.

Seymour appeared again holding an unconscious villager, "Someone has to die today!"

Rikku took a good look at the villager and noticed that it was the same villager that she had asked to take care of Barthello while they came in to fight Ifrit. Seymour then cut the head off of the villager, Yuna shrieked. After Seymour beheaded the villager Wakka and the Gullwings limped out of the room heading for the Celsius. That night the girls had a rough time going to sleep, not knowing that Djose was in trouble.

Next Chapter: Wakka returns home, and the Gullwings recover before their next big battle with another dark aeon in Djose. But things will get a little heated between Paine and Yuna.
