"Ding ding, correct." The boy said, and I didn't say a word.
"Now, now, don't look so surprised." Kael said, "After all, the dead aren't truly gone. Well, if they have a mission to complete they aren't."
"A-and what is y-your mission?" I managed to choke out, and Kael chuckled.
"The sky is blue, and the sea is green brother." He said.
Kael pulled a small remote on a key chain out of his pocket, which he spun around his finger a couple times, before closing it within his fist.
"You're crazy..crazy!" I said.
"Not crazy, just determined." Kael said, "This must be done, it's the only way to fix things."
"what the heck are you two talking about?" Rikku asked, "Seig, who is this guy? 'Cause if he's not that important we really need to go."
"He's really important, so can you just lay off!" I snarled, and Kael gave me a look.
"Are you that mean to all your friends?" He asked, "Cause I wouldn't stick around you if you are.."
"Just shut the hell up and tell me when!" I said angrily, and Kael rolled his eyes.
"Fine." He said, "Be ready in three days, or Pacyet is as good as gone." With that, he gave a wave and then walked away.
I turned and headed towards my house as quickly as I could. This was bad, very bad..
I unlocked the front door to my apartment upon reaching it and ran into the kitchen, fumbling through the cabinets with shaky hands until I found what I was looking for.
It was a pill bottle, but it was empty.
"Dammit!" I yelled, throwing the empty bottle at the wall and then gripping the edge of the counter tightly, trying to calm myself down a bit.
Yuna slowly walked over and laid a hand on my arm.
"Seig?" She asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
"Everything's wrong!" I said, angry mostly gone from my voice. I couldn't help it, I began to sob onto the counter.
"Why does everything have to be so messed up!" I asked, between sobs, "Cant I have one day to get away from all the pain!"
Yuna didn't say anything, she just pulled me against her, and I was grateful for it. I cried for a few more minutes, before pulling back and drying off my face with my sleeve a bit.
"I'm alright now.." I said quietly, "I just need to get a few things and then we can go.." I then hurried back into the bedroom, shutting the door behind me.
I grabbed some clothes from my closet and stuffed them into a backpack, along with a few pieces of machina I had stuffed under my bed. The whole time I was thinking, reassuring myself that I was going to be fine.
/I don't need those pills..the doctors only said I did../ I told myself. The back of my mind was almost laughing at me.
/right, that's why you tried to commit suicide a couple months ago../ Now, I just tried to block out my thoughts, cause they weren't helping at all.
Slowly, I walked out of my room, with my backpack slung over my shoulder.
"You ready?" Yuna asked softly, and I nodded.
"yeah, let's go.." I said, "But, I have a question. Can we stop at Bikanel on the way back from the mission?"
"Sure." Yuna said, nodding "I don't think it will be a problem, I think Rikku would agree with me too."
Yuna started out of the kitchen and to the door, and I followed after her, locking the front door behind us. I was still a bit on edge, so I was trying just to keep calm.
"So anything else you need to do?" Rikku asked, dancing a bit on her toes.
"Patience." Paine said to her.
Rikku stopped moving about and crossed her arms.
"yes mother." She mumbled.
"Are you alright?" Yuna asked, clearly worried about me.
"I'm alright." I said, giving Yuna a small smile, "Just thinking. And screw my work, let's go!"
"Alright lets go see what the sphere has in store for us!" Rikku exclaimed, running back to the airship. Paine shook her head and walked after her, and Yuna walked beside me, staying silent.
When we got onto the airship, Rikku was talking quickly to Brother in Al Bhed, he nodded and jumped into his seat.
"Alright strap down everyone!" Rikku exclaimed, and I sat down in a seat and quickly buckled myself in. I didn't know how good a flyer Brother was, and I wasn't going to take any chances.
