Ch.1: Do you believe in destiny?

FP: I haven't slept for three days and I am completely loopy, I can barely see straight let alone think, but for some reason I can still write and I'm getting a lot done. Maybe I should do this more often….Squirrel….ha-ha I said squirrel. Maybe sleep isn't such a bad idea. Ooh well let it begin sorry wrong button! There all better. Maybe I should take a nap before I start… Nah.

No am not a pot head I just really tired.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rikku awakes the next morning not sure were she is.

Rikku: This isn't my room, this is the engine room why am I down here? Oh no, how drunk was I last night? I couldn't have, but I'm in his bed… at least I'm still wearing my cloths.

Rikku looks around the room and soon realizes that Kain is sitting in the opposite corner of the room asleep.

Rikku: I was completely drunk last night I wouldn't have stopped him from having his way with me. Maybe there is a heart under that mask he puts on. I'll have to remember to thank him.

She gets up and leaves the room.

Kain: I hope she doesn't think I'm a goody goody for this.

Back on the deck Yuna and Paine are relaxing in the sun.

Yuna: I think we should visit Besaid.

Paine: Why?

Yuna: A day off will do everyone some good.

Rikku walks onto the deck.

Rikku: How'd the party go last night?

Yuna: Just fine, how'd your little party with Kain go?

Rikku: Nothing happened, we just talked for a little while and I dozed off.

Paine: Whatever you say Rikku.

Yuna: What do you think about a trip to Besaid?

Rikku: No, I think I'm still feeling the affects of last night.

Paine: So you did do a little too much partying with Kain.

Rikku: Nothing happened last night; I just had too much to drink!

Yuna: Well, I'm going to tell Buddy.

Yuna leaves.

Paine: You like him.

Rikku: I told you nothing happened!

Paine: But you do like.

Rikku: Maybe.

Paine: He's standing right behind you.

Rikku: Yeah right, nobody can sneak up on a master thief.

Kain: Except an even better thief.

Rikku: What, we weren't talking about you!

Kain: Whatever and you should be more careful.

Rikku: You just got lucky, I'm the best thief there is!

Kain: There are much more dangerous people than thieves.

He walks to the far end of the deck and lies down.

Paine: He likes you.

Rikku: I don't think…

A large explosion grabs their attention.

Paine: What the hell!

A large silver dragon is attacking Kain.

Rikku: I've never seen a fiend like that before!

Paine: Go tell Brother and Yuna what's going on, I'll help Kain!

Rikku: Right.

Paine draws her sword and rushes toward the dragon, but before she could attack the dragon takes flight and begins to assault Kain with magic. Kain uses a reflect spell to send one of the dragons flare spell back at it clipping its wing sending it crashing down onto the deck. Paine charges at it only to have the beast catch her sword in mid swing.

Paine: What the…

Paine is hit square in the chest with a fire attacks sending her flying. Once she was out of the way the dragon continued its assault on Kain. His katana blocked every attack the dragon could muster and the dragon didn't dare try magic as Kain's reflect spell was still in place, but Kain could use magic against it. He got in close to the beast and released a point blank Ultima attack blowing a hole throw the dragons chest, but the dragon had enough time to unleash a devastating head butt breaking at least six of Kain's ribs.

Kain: That could have gone better.

He falls to his knees using one of his katana to support himself and clutching his ribs with his free arm. Yuna and Rikku run onto the deck weapons raised, when they see the fight is over they run over to help Kain.

Yuna: What happened?

Kain: I'm fine, help Paine first!

Yuna runs over to Paine who is lying a dozen or so feet away out cold, but Rikku stays to help Kain.

Kain: I'm fine.

Rikku: You can't even stand up!

Kain: I just need a little rest.

Rikku: Alright I'll help you back into the ship.

Kain and Rikku head inside Kain leaning on Rikku still clutching his ribs. They make their way down to the engine room where Kain lies down.

Rikku: Let me take a look at your ribs.

Kain: I'm fine.

Rikku: Oh really?

She barley taps his chest causing him to cringe.

Kain: Alright, it hurts a little.

Rikku: Take off your shirt so I can treat your wounds.

Kain takes off his shirt and trench coat revealing dozens of scars on his chest and waist.

Rikku: How did you get all those scars?

Kain: Maybe once I know you better I'll tell you more about my past.

Rikku: You're just like Paine.

Kain: I have my reasons.

Rikku: I really wish people would trust me.

Kain: Don't feel bad, I don't trust anyone.

Rikku: Why not?

Kain: While I was growing up every time I would trust someone enough to tell them about my past they'd turn on me, the Al-Bhed hated me for being Guedo, the Guedo hated me for being Al-Bhed, and everyone else hated me for being one or the other.

Rikku: Things have changed, people accept the Al-Bhed now and no one could tell you're a Guedo.

Kain: I've been alone for far too long to start trusting everyone.

Rikku: You don't have to trust everyone; you just need to trust someone.

Kain: You're too soft to be a thief.

Rikku: What makes you think I'm soft!

Kain: I can read peoples minds by the look in their eyes. The softer you are the easier you are to read and you are an open book.

Rikku: You can't read peoples minds.

Kai: Not really read their minds, but I can tell what their feeling and how their going to move in combat.

Rikku: If you can tell how people feel what do I think of you?
