Cid watched Gippal kick sand from up in his office window. Boy did that kid have a load on his hands. He'd noticed a change in Rikku after Yuna's wedding, but he wasn't sure what it was about. All he knew was that she ran off during the night to a submarine type contraption that she'd put together. Seriously that girl needed to pipe down some and find herself a man. But then again, so did Gippal, he too needed to find himself a girl to settle down with. Hell those two would be perfect together. The only problem is that those two need swallow their pride and just admit that they like each other a smidgen.
"Guahahahahaha!" Cid bellowed out.
"Whad iz so funny father?" Brother asked as he walked in.
"It's that darn sister of yours!" he said chuckling.
"Whad iz so funny about Rikku?" he asked (~this poor man, was he dropped on his head?~)
"She's so stubborn she can't even see when a guy likes her!" Cid said has he punched his son in the arm.
"WHO LIKES EH RIKKU?!" he said with a protective tone.
"None of yer business son! Now get back to work!" Cid said before kicking Brother in the ass.
"What am I ever gonna do with these rascals of mine?" he said to himself before he left to do more work on Home.
Rikku was slowly walking up down the Moonflow towards the Djose temple where Gippal was awaiting her arrival. The sun was slowly beginning to set, making her skin cold. Hell all she was wearing was an olive green mini skirt, a yellow bikini top, some low cut boots, a yellow and orange scarf, and white bow tie sleeves. That wasn't too much. But that was the least of her worries. She couldn't believe that she had to work with... with that MAN!
She continued to walk to the Djose temple when she saw something red in the distance. She decided to call out, "Hello, is anyone up there?" When that came out she saw the small figure jump up and run towards her. As it got closer she realized that it was Tobli, with his red had and red and green jacket. He was something else. "Oh oh oh! It's you Miss Rikku! How are you?" he said in his very fast helium tinged voice.
"I'm great Tobli, how are you?" she asked with a smile.
"I'm hiding from, from, from all the machina!" he said even faster, his eyes shifting everywhere.
"What's the machina doing to you?" she asked with a worried look.
"It's invaded my area! I can't even have have performances!" he said as he began to run in circles.
"Tobli calm down! I bet it's just the Machine Faction. I'm going there for a mission so hang low!" she said as she bent down so stop him from running.
"Ok Miss Rikku!" he said, then with a small bow he ran off towards his spot of business.
She couldn't believe it! That scoundrel! She just couldn't believe that Gippal was storing his machina on someone else's business area! Ooo did he have something coming. Picking up her pace she began to jog towards the temple, hands balled up into fists, ready to sock the bastard! After about ten minutes running she finally approached the temple. She could see that they made use of their area, for there wasn't much room to move around in. Lord and there he was, leaning against the doors looking all high and mighty! The nerve of him.
Looking up he noticed in the dim light that Rikku had finally arrived. Sheesh took her long enough to get here. He stood up and stretched his arms up, loosening up his body for the verbal fight that was to come.
"Hey Cid's girl!" he hollered over to her.
Looking up Rikku saw Gippal's smirking face. She'd just decided that she'd punch that look right off his face. Walking over to him, she put on an angelic smile and began to skip over to him.
"Hey Gippal. I'm sorry for being so rude to you yesterday." She said sweetly, thinking of how great it'd be when she'd hit him.
"Uh... that's ok." He said with a confused expression. Taking that as an opportunity, Rikku stepped forward and ran a finger up his arm, leaning into him making sure her breath blew across his ear. "I hope that you'll forgive me." She said in a slightly seductive tone.
Pulling her in front of him, he looked into her eyes trying to see if she was serious or not. It was really hard to tell. Once you looked into her emerald eyes, you just got lost in their depths.
Tilting her head at him she couldn't help but think of him as handsome. Wait NO she couldn't think that! He was her enemy! Stepping back a little, she snapped her fingers across his face. "Earth to Gippal! Wake up!" she said, getting irritated.
Snapping out of his daze, Gippal looked at Rikku, now slightly fuming and realized something was up. "Rikku what are you planning" he said sternly.
"Oh nothing. I just got a little gift for you." She said, then bending down she pretended to search for something in her shoe but then came up, and brought her arm back and socked him in the jaw. "Shit!" Rikku said, as she gingerly blew on her knuckle.
He couldn't believe the bitch! She was complaining about her hand while he was in pain. Damn that girl had a good right hook. Straightening up, he watched as she blew on her knuckle. "What was that for?!" he yelled.
Looking up, she saw a huge red spot on his jaw. Smiling at her handy work she decided to answer his dumb question. "That was for being such a huge dumb ass!" "Me being a dumb ass, well that's a great reason to punch me in the jaw!" he said while rolling his eyes at her.
"Fine! Want me to tell you? You are such a heartless bastard! You haul all your machina out of the way here and dump it over at the Moonflow! You know what that does to Tobli's business?!" she screamed.
"What are you talking about!?" He said. He honestly didn't know what she was talking about.
"You mean you don't know?" she said, lowering her pitch.
"No I don't Rikku, and I don't appreciate your assumptions." He said with a sigh.
"Oh..." she said feeling stupid for yelling at him.
"Would you mind leading the way to where you saw all the Machina?" he asked.
"Fine I will." She said while lifting her chin up.
They walked on for about twenty minutes when Rikku finally recognized her surroundings. In the distance she could see something-glowing red.
"There it is." She whispered out.
"It certainly doesn't look like any of the kinda machina that we fix up." Gippal said.
"Well then lets go check it out!" she said, ready for any kind of mysterious mission that might involve a fight.
Not sure if he and Rikku should go or not he watched Rikku pull out her hand blades.
"C'mon Gippal!" she said, sounding more like her happy go lucky self.
"Errhm... Well I guess." He mumbled, following behind Rikku, as he prepared his Machina Gun.
Rikku just ran up there, just absolutely ready, when she saw the red glow move. It was just so eerie that it was moving so fast. She took another step forward and decided to just run in. When she was in the shade of the trees she slowly began to move in unsure of what was to happen. Suddenly a loud rumble came from the center of the clearing where Tobli usually had his concerts. Cautiously she scurried her way up when she felt the rumble. It was so strong that it knocked her off her feet. "Whoa buddy!" she said as she slid in on the path. Jumping up to her feet, she ran towards the rumbling creature. When she reached it she saw something that looked sorta like the Machina panzer but sorta like the Machina Striker too. Thinking that it was just machina and that it would be a cinch for her to take apart, she charged forward not even waiting for Gippal to help. Boy did she underestimate the strength of this puppy. Dude she ran up to it, blades in hand and that sucker just pounded some balls at her! Shit this thing was fast. She ran up when it was taking it's time to charge up, and went to take the main switch at the bottom apart when it grabbed her and tossed her hard to the ground, that it knocked her out cold.
Gippal couldn't believe his eyes. It was one of those forgotten projects that they'd built to use against Vegnagun, but now it was up and running. Thinking back to who he'd put in charge he realized that Nedus was the one who was supposed to run this project. But now wasn't the time for him to think about that. He couldn't see Rikku, so he took charge and shot his high powered gun at the thing from behind a tree. A great big ball of lightning headed straight for the sucker and hit it right where it needed it most. The machina began to shake and spark ready to combust. That's when Gippal noticed Rikku passed out near it. He ran up and scooped her up into his arms, and ran for his life, for that thing was close to it's last screw. He was lucky to have made it to the exit of the woods when the thing exploded. He didn't even stop to look back at the damage that it caused. He kept running 'til he was back at the temple. Yelling in Al Bhed, he told his crew to go back there and extinguish the fire. He got inside the temple and ran to his room, and gently put Rikku down on his bed. She was a mess. Her leg had a big gash that looked to have been from her blade. Maybe when she had been thrown to the grown that it got her leg. It didn't look too bad. He noticed that her top was ripped, and decided to advert his gaze from that area. He thin looked at her head, and saw that by her forehead was a bleeding gash. Seeing the severity of it, he ran over to his desk and got his transmitter that Shinra had made. He typed in the code for Yuna, and told her to get over to the temple as soon as possible. Heck Yuna was still the best person to heal your wounds with her white magic. He then contacted Cid and left a message telling him to come over, for Rikku had been injured quite badly.
When he was done with that he walked over to her and pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and began to dab at her head wound.
"Rikku you fool, look at the mess you've gotten yourself into now." He said softly. But to be honest, he felt responsible for it. He should've kept better tabs on her, and made sure that she was safe. Looking down, he noticed that her leg wound had started to bleed again, so he pulled out a Hi-Potion and gently dabbed it over it. Soon the wound had stopped bleeding, and the swelling went down. He just prayed that Rikku would be able to hold on. He grasped her hand in his large one, and brought it to his lips. He'd never been so worried in his life about her.
"Gippal...Gippal..." Rikku mumbled in her unconscious state.
"Rikku, Rikku!" he said, rubbing her hand between his. He then realized that it was just sleep talk. He looked down again, and saw her injured body. She still looked like an angel to him.
"Gippal... Gippal... I... I... Like...you..." she sighed out as she squeezed his hand.
Not knowing what to do, he just stared at her. Was this for real or not? Did Rikku really like him? Suddenly the sounds of Yuna and Tidus came drifting up the stairs, tearing his mind away from what Rikku had said. Turning to her, he gave her hand a kiss and said, "Help is here Rikku." Then bending down, he whispered this into her ear, "I, I like you too Rikku." With that said and done he stood up ready to greet Yuna.
When she entered the room, she saw her cousin lying in the bed, bleeding. Her chest tightened, but she knew that her skills were good.
"We can talk later Gippal, I need to help Rikku now." She said as she walked swiftly by him.
"Hey man, relax, lets go downstairs and let Yuna fix her up." Tidus said, putting an arm around Gippal's shoulder.
When the two men got downstairs, Gippal heard the sound of his transmitter at his waist. Someone was trying to contact him. He turned it on and was greeted by a mad Cid and pissed Brother. "BOY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LITTLE GIRL. I'M GETTING OVER THEIR RIGHT NOW!" was what he heard from Cid. "Youse have bedder not have hurt Rikku or else!" he heard brother say in his version of English. "Don't worry Cid, I have Yuna here fixing Rikku up." Gippal said, and then lowered the volume of the transmitter so Cid's voice wouldn't echo in the temple.
What was he going to do when Cid got here?
A/N: Okay how's that?! Man when I saw that I got two reviews I was so happy. I hope you guys like this chapter. Might as well have Gippal have some issues with Cid and Brother. Man this is going to be a tough story to work with. But I must say I'm having fun. I'd like to thank my reviewers, Christine, thanks for being my first reviewer. I was so happy to see that you liked it, especially since I just wrote it like a day ago. :-D. I'd like to also thank Warior for reviewing my story too! I read on a website summary that they were calling Yuna the Grand Summoner instead of High Summoner. This is how I see it. A High Summoner is a person who is able to defeat Sin with the Final Aeon, but isn't able to permanately defeat Sin. The way the I think it was for the Japanese version ( I was so obsessed with ffx that I did a lot of research on ffx-2!) that they called Yuna the Grand Summoner because she was able to Defeat Sin without the final aeon and because she brought Spira the Eternal Calm. Plus it makes since to call her the Grand Summoner, I mean wasn't that what her Overdrive was called in FFX? Well I hope that helped explain why I put Grand instead of High. LOL. Keep reading and reviewing. The more reviews, the more I get Motivated to write more. (. I LYL, ~Teri Baumer~ P.S.: if you wanna you can feel free to talk to me on AIM @ FYAnimeJunkie618. Don't worry I won't bite. (seriously I WON'T bite. LOL)
