BOGGART: Yays you like my chapter. Hahaha, well I've heard of the anime channel, I'm just too poor to own cable or satellite so I buy a lot of anime, and borrow it from my friend. Lemme see, I'm from Durham North Carolina. Haha but I'm originally from South Korea. I've never been to the Philippines! Is it cool? Wow if Bush bans anime dude am I gonna get the Anime Club at my school to go probe his balls or something. As u can c, I said THEY would, I'm totally not gonna get near Bush's balls! (sry folks for the unpleasant visual! My favorite words are Probe, Retard, and Probulation! It's gotta do w/ Soul Caliber 2 and Kilik's weapon.) We'll burn the dumb ass. HOMER SIMPSON IS SMARTER THAN BUSH! Hope u like the chapter.

WARIOR: RIKKU IS A BAD ASS! I'M GLAD SHE KILLED CHIDORI. OMG I DIDN'T TELL U WHO HER DAD WAS... HMM I'LL INCORPORATE IN THE STORY. HOPE U ENJOY THIS CHAPTER.

Shadow Reaper: Wow, well my bad. Your name is interesting, it was hard to tell if it was a guy or gal. U C @ my school I have lots of Goths and punks so it's hard to tell for me.

CHRISTINE: Wow you've been gone some time I thought you'd run off. I'm glad you're back and enjoying the story! I think you'll REALLY like this chapter. Oh thanks for the title of the song. Do you know the name for the song that's similar to the intro one? Like the one where they play it in Guadosalam, those musicians from the Macalania wood? I need the name for that song. It's prettier than the other one. I got the soundtrack but all the song names are in Japanese, and well I'm unable to read in that language.

Liebchen: I totally know you'll like this chapter. I must apologize for the sex scene. It's not one of my good ones. I was really determined to write ch. 10 but was really sleepy so sry bout it. I'll make sure the next one is better.

ON WITH THE STORY AND STUUFF... (WOW DO I SOUND HIGH OR WHAT? BUT I DON'T DO DRUGS THAT ILLEGAL.)

"Hello Praetor, what brings you here to my shop today?" the shopkeeper asked.
"Oh I'm not here for myself, I'm helping my friend find an engagement ring." Baralai said with a smile.
"Well then, who's the lucky lady Mr. Gippal?" the keeper asked.
"Rikku, Lady Yuna's cousin." He said
"Well that's great!" the keeper, said as he clasped his hands together.
"We've got an assortment of engagement rings. What are you looking for?" he asked with a beaming smile.
"Well I don't really know exactly what to get her." Gippal admitted with a sheepish smile.
"Well let's think. You could get her an Emerald to match her eyes. I got Paine a Ruby to match hers, and Tidus got Yuna a Sapphire for hers." Baralai said.
"But that's sort of predictable. Hey I like that one there!" Gippal said, pointing at a beautiful ring with a round Topaz with small diamonds surrounding it with two large Emeralds on either side of the Topaz. It went perfectly with the platinum band, and the colors fit Rikku's personality.
"Great choice. This one came in today." The shop keep said.
"Great, I'll buy it." Gippal said.
Gippal paid for it, and put the small satin box in his pocket, and left with Baralai.
"I think that was an excellent choice you know." Baralai said as they neared the Gazebo where the girls were talking.
"Yeah I think she'll like it." Gippal said as she saw Rikku wave at him.
"Well my good man, I wish you luck." Baralai said before walking over to his wife.
"Hey Gippal." Rikku said with a sunny smile.
"Hey gorgeous." He said with a wink that made a blush appear on her face.
"Where did you and Baralai go?" Rikku asked as she rocked back and forth on the balls of her heals.
"I'll tell you in a minute. Will you take a walk with me in the gardens?" he asked as he held his hand out.
"Sure." She said as she placed her small hand in his large one.
They walked near the old temple of Bahamut where there were lots of gardens in full bloom. Gippal turned to Rikku and bent his head down to kiss her.
"I got a present for you while you were hanging out with Yuna and Paine." He said before getting the box out of his pocket.
"What is it?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"I'll put it on for you, just close your eyes." He said. He waited until her eyes shut and opened the box and took out the magnificent ring.
"While keeping your eyes closed, stick out both hands for me." He said. When she complied he gently slid the ring on her left ring finger, while holding the other hand in his.
"You can open your eyes now." He said as he watched her eyes flutter open. She looked down at her finger and gasped at what was there.
"Gippal are you implying something here with this ring." She asked, not able to tear her eyes away from her hand.
"Yes, and I think you know what it is, so is it yes or no?" he said. He could feel his heart beating hard inside his chest in fear.
"YES YES YES! I'LL MARRY YOU GIPPAL!" Rikku shrieked out before jumping into his arms, tears falling down her face.
"When can we get married?" she asked, looking up at his handsome face.
"As soon as possible." Gippal said
"Well I guess the only thing we have left to do is tell my Pops." Rikku said with a nervous look.
"Let's get if over with." He said.
They walked to the Gazebo's to tell the others about their engagement, before flying over to home, when to their surprise they saw Cid talking to them.
"Hey Pops!" Rikku said with a smile, while she ran over to him, dragging Gippal with her.
"Pops, I got some good news." She said beaming a smile at him.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Well it's for everyone to hear. Look." She said as she extended her left hand to let them all admire her ring.
"Rikku I'm so happy for you!" Yuna squealed out, grasping her hand to get a better look at the ring.
"Yeah congrats to you." Paine said with a smile.
"Rikku and Gippal I need to talk you two about this." Cid said.
"What is it then?" Rikku said when she and Gippal had walked off to the side.
"Just to tell you, I want you two to get married, but there was this arrangement that I made when you were a child." Cid said.
"What kind of arrangement?" Rikku asked.
"Well I kind of arranged for you to marry this guy Kagami Matt Guado." He said.
"Well who is he?" Gippal asked, as he held onto Rikku's hand tightly.

"Well he's Chidori's older twin brother. Well you see I never knew that until recently. Apparently Seymour Guado rapped a young human girl, and she bore his kids. She died during childbirth, and he shipped them off to a temple. Well the monks and I talked and we made up a contract for your marriage. Well when Seymour died, I automatically assumed that the contracted died too. Well he's come back. He doesn't want to marry you, but he want's to get revenge on you for killing Chidori." Cid said with a sad smile.
"Well is there anything you can do Cid?" Gippal asked.
"Yeah, you two can get married soon. It'll have to be a simple wedding and we must have it within the next 2 weeks. The kid is off somewhere so we can have the wedding at Home, since there isn't much left to do 'til it's finished." He said with a smile.
"Well that sound okay to me. We do want to be married as soon as possible?" Rikku said.
"Well that's fine with me, but what happens when Kagami finds out?" Gippal asked with a frown.
"That's when Baralai steps in. He can't really do anything now until you two are legally married. He has the process ready for the contract. Something about making the contract expire or something so you really don't have to worry. Your wedding will be soon, and safe." Cid said with a smile.

That night, Rikku and Gippal were walking in the Macalania woods hand in hand. They walked and stopped at the spring and watched the pyre flies float along the water's surface. A beautiful melody began to play.
"Do you hear that Gippal? It sounds like music." Rikku said.
"Yeah, I bet the pyre flies are conjuring something up." He said as he pulled her to him for a deep kiss. It was so quiet except for the sound of water and the occasional chime of the woods. And the melody seemed to get louder and clearer. Rikku and Gippal just stood there embracing one another listening to the song. They then saw the pyre flies swarm together and formed an image of Lenne and Shuyin. Lenne was the one singing a song to him. It must've been Rikku and Gippal's strong emotions for one another that triggered the pyre flies to react. Rikku leaned into Gippal, enjoying the warmth of his body as she watched and listened to Lenne sing to her lover.

'Who knows how long I've loved you? You know I love you still. Will I wait a lonely lifetime? If you want me to I will. For if I ever saw you, I didn't catch your name, But it never really mattered, I will always feel the same. CHORUS:~ Love you forever and forever, Love you with all my heart. Love you whenever we're together, Love you when we're apart. ~And when at last I find you, your song will fill the air. Sing It loud and I can hear you, Make it easy to be near you, for the things you do endear you to me. And you know I will. CHORUS~ Love you forever and forever, Love you with all my heart. Love you whenever we're together, Love you when we're apart~ And when at last I find you, your song will fill the air. Sing It loud and I can hear you, Make it easy to be near you, for the things you do endear you to me. And you know I will. I will.'

When the song finished Rikku watched as the two lovers faded away into the night.
"Wasn't that beautiful?" Rikku asked as she gazed up at her fiancée.
"Yeah, the words were moving." He said as she gazed down at her. "You know if you think about it, the words she sang were just as I feel about you." He said.
"Yeah I know." She whispered.
"What's wrong Rikku?" he asked tipping her chin up.
"I'm just stressed about the wedding and the time we have. Plus that Kagami guy, Chidori's brother, I'm scared of what could happen to us." She said.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine. Think of the song. We'll always be together, and I WILL do anything to keep it that way." He said before kissing her.
"It's getting late, let's go back." She said.

Watching in the night, Kagami watched as the two lovers left the woods. Heh, they didn't know anything. He was going to make sure that he got the woman he had been promised to have. He really didn't want her, but it was to get revenge. He needed to hurt the man that rejected his sister. He'd take his woman and claim him for himself. Smiling wickedly Kagami left and started to sketch out a plan to ruin the wedding. It'd be difficult because it was a dessert one, but he'd figure something out. He'd sneak in as a guest perhaps, but then again, it was obvious that he looked like his father. He had the blue hair, but it was short and spiky, and his eyes were an amber color that glowed brightly giving off an evil feeling. But that's not what made him look like his father. It was the light blue lines on his face, that made him look a lot like the former Maester. He was just as cold hearted as his old man, and swore to avenge his death and his sisters.

A/N. I hope you like this chapter you guys. I put a lot of effort into it. I know I had to add an evil villain again, but this is something I promised my friend. You see, Kagami is an evil dude from Ceres, he tried to rape his cousin, Aya, and well I added the middle name Matt because that's my friends Ex who dumped her through a note. Yes a note! So I promised make him a character in this and kill him in brutal way. Don't worry, he won't interfere for too long. I mean hell he's Seymour son and Chidori's brother. You know that there is a problem when he's got some fucked up genes! But it adds some spice, but THEY'LL STILL GET MARRIED! Hahahahahaha. Can't wait to read your reviews. And if you have any ideas or something, or would like to talk to me please Instant message me at FYAnimeJunkie616. This is on AIM, so yeah. I would Love to talk to you guys.

Love ya guys,

Teri Baumer
