Yuna smiled at me and nodded.
"well welcome to the team I guess…" she said, shrugging slightly.
"Yeah, you can hunt spheres with us!" Rikku exclaimed jumping up then doing a little dance, "Have you ever hunted spheres?"
Yuna smiled, probably because the other girl was so ecstatic. Hell, even I smiled.
"Nope, never in my life." I said, looking Rikku over a moment, "Hey, aren't you Cid's girl?"
I cant believe it too me so long! Cid's children were supposed to be super smart, and I remember Kael saying he wanted to beat them one day.
Rikku's smile fell away and her enthusiasm died, she managed a small smile and placed her hands on her hips. I was starting to believe I said something wrong.
"Yeah, took you a while." She said.
"I haven't seen him in awhile." Rikku said shrugging, "Not sure where he is, can't say I care though."
"Did he do something wrong?" I asked, an eyebrow raised. Cid had always seemed like an okay guy to me, but then again, I didn't have to live with him. For all I know, he could've done something horrible, like blow up home…
Rikku shook her head and gave me a fake smile.
"Oh no nothing drastic really, just family problems you know?" she said in her perky tone.
"You guys ready?" Paine asked, clearly changing the subject, "Is there anything you need from Luca, Seig? Before we leave?" I gave a nod.
"Yeah, I gotta pick up some things from my house." I said, "Like normal, unbloody clothes. And I gotta quit my job, if I'm not already fired."
Paine nodded. "Well if your well enough, we could help you to your house then to where you work."
Rikku nodded furiously. "Yeah! Yunie could probably help you with that!"
Yuna blushed, and I chuckled under my breath.
"I'll help if I can." Yuna said.
"I'll be alright, I think." I said, sitting up and slowly getting out of bed, not using my injured arm at all.
"I survived Home, I think I can survive a little bullet wound."
"Yeah I bet." Rikku said, chuckling nervously.
"Off with you." Paine said straightening and moving from the doorway, "We wont leave you behind but we wont wait forever."
"It's my arm that's hurt, not my legs." I said, "I can move just fine." I headed for the doorway, already moving at normal pace. By now, I was just hoping that we wouldn't run into Arcia..
I could feel their eyes on me, but I just ignored it as I left the room.
When I didn't hear them following me, I stopped and waited.
/They're probably grilling Yuna/ I thought, smiling slightly/Same thing Kael would've done to me../
I waited until I heard the door open, and then I began walking again. Stepping out into the sun wasn't as bad this time as it was in the morning. Maybe it was because I wasn't depressed anymore.
I headed towards my house, since it was closer than the stadium, but it was still rather hard to get to because of all the people.
While we were walking, a tall boy ran into my wounded shoulder and I quickly moved to clutch it in pain.
"Sorry kiddo, didn't mean to hit ya there." The boy said, giving me a grin that I knew all too well.
I just stood, dumbstruck, my mouth unable to form any words. The kid raised an eyebrow, I knew that too.
"Seig, are you alright?" Yuna asked me, but I could barely hear her.
Finally, one word managed to form.
"Kael.."
