Saterday seemed to come really quick. Tidus was nervous and so was Rikku, but they both decided not to hang around eachother until it was time to go.
"Tidus, Yuna's at the door!" Jecht yelled.
Tidus came down the steps and gretted Yuna.
"I just stopped by to see what you were doing tomorrow." Yuna said.
"Um nothing, why?"
"Because all of us where going to hang out tomorrow and sense your our friend I just wondered if you would come."
"Sure, all ways a pleasure."
Yuna laughed.
"Oh! By the way i want you to meet somebody." Tidus grabbed her hand and ran into the living room.
"This is Dante, dante this is Yuna."
"Nice to meet you." Dante got up and shook Yuna's hand. dante had red spiky hair and green eyes. He was as tall as Tidus and wore baggy clothes and sneakers.
"Dante you want to come?" Yuan asked before explaining.
"Come where?"
"Tomorrow me and my firends,including Tidus, where going to hang out tomorrow. Tidus Zeth can come too."
"Sweet. I'll come" Dante said.
"Great! well, see you guys later." Yuna said before turning around and leaving.
"She's cute." Dante said.
"Yeah, your right. Do you like her or something?" Tidus asked.
"I just met her how can i like her?"
"Well, you think she's cute so why couldn't you like her?"
"Dude, I can think a girl's cute but that dosen't mean I like them."
"Denial! But whatever you say." Both buys laughed.
Rikku had called Paine for some advice. Paine didn't know why but she listened.
"So, what did you need help with?" Paine asked sitting down on her bed.
"Ok. Tidus asked me out on a date but I don't know if this is just a friendly date or not. Do you think he likes me or no?"
"First off,I don't know what sort of things he has said or done to you so name some."
"Well, last night he kissed me, only for a split second, on my mouth. And he always seems to want to hang around me and plus he asked me out on a date."
"Well, I guess he has a crush on you. If he kissed you then yes I would have to say he likes you. Is that all or do you need fashion tips as well?"
Rikku laughed.
"No that's it. thanks."
"Any time. bye."
"Bye." Rikku hung up and looked at the clock.
Tidus should be coming soon. Rikku thought.
She brushed and put it back into it's usual style.
There's no need for em to get all fancy. Tidus would have told me if I had to."
Tidus rang the door bell right on time. Rikku ran downstairs and got the door.
"Ready?" Tidus asked.
"Yup." Rikku closed the door and followed Tidus to a resturant that was out on Atlantic beack not the one that they usually go to.
"Tidus this resturant is really nice, are you sure it's ok?" Rikku asked worried about the cost.
"Don't worry about it pick whatever you like." Tidu said giving her his famous grin.
Rikku smiled back. They both ordered their food and began to eat.
"So Rikku, what is your favorite thing to do?"
"I don't really have a favorite thing, I kinda like to do at all." Rikku said laughing.
"Where do you want to go for ice-cream?"
"Let's go to Ally's."
"Cool. I like that place."
After they were done eating they went to Ally's Ice-Cream shop. They ordered their ice-cream and Tidus was walking Rikku to her house after they had finished their ice-cream.
"So Rikku, How about that consert you pormised?" Tidus asked grinning. They both stopped walking and Rikku grinned at him.
She noticed that they were right next to the lake. The lake looked mystical at night. It seems as though little lights came from the water and floated into the air. The water was a crystal clear blue and it looked amazing with the trees surrounding it. Rikku walked into the middle of it and Tidus followed.It only went up to their waist.
"Your giving me to many thing latley.
Your all I need you smiled at me and said,
Don't get me wrong I love you but does that mean
I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand what I ment when I said no,
I don't think life is quit that simple.
When you walk away you don't hear me say please
oh baby, don't go.
Simple and clean is the way
that your making me feel tonight.
it's hard to let it go.
So simple and clean.
The daily things
Like this and that and what.
That keep us all busy are confusing me.
That's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you,
but does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand it's enough when I say so.
And maybe some things are that simple.
When you walk away
you don't hear me say
please oh baby don't go.
Simple and clean is the way
that your making me feel
tonight. It's hard to let it go.
Hold me what ever lies beyond
this morning is a little later on.
regardless of warnigns the future
doesn't scare me at all.
Nothing's like before.
Hold me whatever lies beyond
this morning is a little later on.
Regardless of warnings the future
dosn't scare me at all nothing's like before."
Rikku finished singing and smiled.
"There, you happy?" Rikku said grinning.
"No, not yet." Tidus said looking into her eyes.
"Huh?" was all Rikku could say before Tidus pulled her body to him and kissed her.
Rikku blinked a couple of times, shocked at first but soon kissed back. Tidus began to walk forward,still kissing her, until she was pined against the tree. He broke the kiss and just stared at her.
"I want to be with you forever."
Rikku froze. Did he really say that? Did he really say those words that she wanted to hear? He did and all she could do was stare. Tidus's face began to look worried, like he did something wrong.
Say something! She yelled at herself.
"I feel the same way." Rikku said finally.
Tidus slowly began to smile. He picked her up and began to spin her around in a circle. They both were laughing. Tidus put her down and just smiled at her. He then picked her up and sprinted for her house at top sprint.
"Don't drop me! Don't drop me!" Rikku yelled.
They got to her house and Tidus put her down at the door. He held her face in his hands and just looked into her eyes.
"Good-night" Tidus said in a low voice before pulling away.
"Good-night." Rikku said smiling as he started to walk away.
This has been the best day of my life. What could possibly go wrong? Tidus thought.
Suddenly he heard a loud thump. He quickly turned around to see Rikku uncouncious on the ground.
"Rikku!"
Tidus quickly ran over to her and checked her.
Why isn't she breathing! Tidus thought worridly.
Tidus put his mouth to her and gave her CPR.
"Mr. Albed! Rikku's not breathing!" Tidus yelled before continuing the CPR.
Cid quickly ran out.
"Tidus what happened?"
"I don't know she just dropped down as soon I started walking home.
"Tidus pick her up and sprint to the hospital. Dont' stop for anything. I'll be right over with her mother." Cid said. Tidus didn't waste any time. He quickly got her to the hospital and they immediantly put her in intensive care.
Hours had gone by and everyone still hadn't heard anything. Tidus was very upset. He was just sitting there with his head in his hands not talking like the others were. Finally Dr. Takanashi came out. He didn't look happy.
"I have some bad news."
Tidus's head quickly shot up to look at him. Everyone else looked at him too.
"I don't how, but there's somehting in Rikku killing her. We gave her all kinds of scans, but there appears to be anythinng wrong with her. There's nothing else we can do."
Everyone was silent until Yuna brok out into tears.
"No! She can't die, she just can't!" Yuna cried as Dante comfort her.
"We'll think of something, shhhh." Dante said soothingly, but it didn't help.
"Were is she?" Tidus said in a low voice.
"She's been put in intesive care. She's in light coma. She should come out of it, then we can tell her."
"My daughter is NOT going to die! Think of something else!" Karen, Rikku's mother, said.
"We're sorry ma'am there's nothing more we can do."
"How long does she got?" Auron asked.
"Till the end of the month."
Tidus pushed passed the Doctor and ran to Rikku's room. Rikku was just laying there on the bed, hair spread out, with oxygen being given to her. Tidus dropped to the floor he had had enough. He broke down and cried. He got up still crying and layed down next to her in the bed.
"Rikku, snap out of it...PLEASE! I need you." Was all Tidus said until he finaly fell silent.
That place did something to her. I'm going back to that place and i'm going to undo whatever it did. Tidus thought.
"Ti...dus."Rikku said waking up.
Tidus lifted his head and look at her.
"H-Hey Rikku." Tidus didn't want to tell her.
"What's wrong with me?" Rikku asked.
"T-The doctor said somethings killing you. they don't know what it is. I'm sorry" Tidus said standing up.
He saw a tear come form her eye.
"How long?"
"The end of the month."
Rikku sat up and took the oxygen off.
"I'm going with you."
"Going where?"
"Back to the ruins. i'm going with you."
"Rikku, no. You should be restind and not taking your days away!"
"Tidus, If you have someone helping you then we can cure me faster."
"Rikku, that place is the cause of this and if you go back it will kill you!." Tidus yelled
"Tidus, I have to go or else you'd be alone in that haunted place with no one to help you if something goes wrong!" Rikku yelled back.
"You're going home to rest and you will stay there weather you like it or not!"
"I'm not staying home i'm going with you no matter what you say!"
"You're not going with me!"
"Why won't you let me go!"Rikku screamed.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"
Rikku fell silent.
"I can't lose you so that place!" Tidus said calming down.
Rikku got out of the bed and walked over to him.
"You're not going to lose me to that place. Plus, I don't want to be away form you, so if I go you go wetahe royu like it or not." Rikku said grinning.
Tidus gave a slight laugh. Rikku pulled his head down and gave him a kiss.
"I'm going." Rikku said before the others walked in.
"Rikku you shouldn't be up!" Lulu scolded.
"I'm fine." Rikku said leaning into Tidus to support her weight.
"Rikku, you-" Cid started.
"I know dad."
"Let's take her home." Karen said.
"Fine by me." Dr. Takanashi said.
"No! No, No, NO!" Karensaid.
"Mom please! If that place is the cause of it then I want ot be there with him to help!"
"And what if something happened to you?" Karen asked.
"Nothing will! Me and tidus will be walking through no spliting up, holding hands, with a rope tied to our hips!"
"Hmmmm, let me think... NO!"
"Karen let her go." Cid said.
"W-What?"
"There's no use in hiding it."
"Your not going to tell them are you?"
"Yup."
"Tell us what?" Tidus asked.
"Let's sit down." Cid said.
They all went into the living room and sat down.
"The first accedant you guys had that gave you both amnesia was at that place. But that's not all. A long time ago Rikku's ancestor Racheal was in love with Tidus's ancestor Auston, but their family didn't like each other. Racheals family thought that Austin was a no good scamer who just wanted a free ride. Austin's family thought that Racheal was some kind of albed bumb who was tyring to control Austin. Racheal and Austin weren't going to give up. Austin and Racheal were going to run away get married then come back and tell their family's, but racheal was murdere the night they were sopposed to leave. Racheals spirit remained in that place as a dark and eveil spirit. She's determand for revenge. You have to help her and she will lift the curse she has on Rikku."
"But why does she want to kill Rikku?" Tidus asked.
"Because she didn't take a close look at Rikku. She thinks Rikku is the decendant of her murderer."
"Who was it?" Rikku asked.
"Yunalesca."
"What!" Tidus and Rikku yelled at the same time.
"Yunalesca was in love with Austin and so was Racheal. Yunalesca found out about their leaving and she wasn't going to stand for it. She thought that Racheal had Austin in some sort of spell anfd that She was Austin's true love, so she murdered her."
"But Yuna is the decendant of Yunalesca." Rikku said confused.
"Yes, but Racheal doens't know about Yuna. and it seems history is repeating itself."
"What do you mean?" Tidus asked.
"You can't tell? Heh. Why should you? Rikku is the decendant of Racheal, your the decendant of Austin, and Yuna's the decendant of Yunalesca. You and Rikku are in love and Yuna has a crush on you. You and Rikku want to be together, but Yuna, subcontiously, is putting Rikku down so she can have a chance with you. Just like Racheal, Austin, and Yunalesca's story."
"So, how do we get racheal to see that Rikku is really her decendant and not Yunalesca's?" Tidus asked.
"I don't know. Talk to Auron about it." Cid said standing up.
"Where is he?" Rikku asked.
"At Tidus's house." Karen said before leaving the room.
Tidus and Rikku ran to Tidus's house.
"Auron!" Tidus yelled.
"I'm in the kitchen." Auron said.
They quickly went to the kitchen Jecht and Amy had just left the room.
"Cid told us everything. How do we prove to Racheal that Rikku is her decentant!" Tidus asked.
"Simple. Act."
"What?" Rikku said confused.
"You have to figure it out on your own. I can't help you. No one can help you or she'll see right through it. Be safe." Auron said. All of the suddne Rikku thought of something.
"That's what I ment!" Rikku said.
"What?" Tidus asked.
"That's what I ment when i said that' they say she's the same, but she isn't the same'! It was a clue!"
"What does that mean?"
"I read Austin's diary in that room. He was going on about how nice and sweet and beautiful person Racheal is, then Racheal showed up and and did what she did to me. It means that Austin says she's the same person and that she's always will be,but after death Racheal is a cold, mean, deathly beautiful person not the same as she was when she was alive!" Rikku said.
"That does make sense." Auron said.
"One last thing, Auron, how long until the end of the month?" Tidus asked.
"Today is the last day."
Rikku and Tidus froze. they looked at the clock. It just turned midnight. They both sprinted to Yuna's house.
"Yuna open up!" Tidus yelled. Yuna opened the door.
"What's wrong?" Yuna asked looking at Tidus and Rikku.
"I need your help." Rikku said.
Tidus, Rikku, and Yuna where at the ruins looking around. They had brought Lulu because she new the most magic out of all of them. They went into the room that held the diary. Racheal didn't come out. They went out of the room and just stood on the secound floor thinking of where to go. A big black thing of smoke appeared anf formed into Rahceal. She looked pissed.
"Run!" Rikku screamed. They all took off running.
"How dare you return! DIE!" Racheal scretched firing bolds of fire at them.
"Lulu put up a sheild!" Tidus screamed moving out of the way of one of the fire balls.
"What!"
Racheal throw a ball of engergy at Rikku. It was close to Rikku foot and Rikku slipped by the edge of the broken part of the second floor and fell down. She was hold on for dear life screaming. Her fingers were slipping.
"Do it now!" Tidus screamed as he sprinted for Rikku.
"I can't get one big enough!"
"Lulu, please!" Yuna said running to Rikku.
Rikku's fingure slipped and she began to fall screaming bloody murder.
"DO IT NOW!" Tidus screamed.
Haha! I know I left it in a bit of a cliff hanger, literaly, but that was my plan. The next chapter will definantly be longer I just wanted to get you guys thinking. It might take me a while for the next chapter to come out, but it will come out. So, be prepared for long cold nights without knowing what happenes for Rikku... But you'll get your chapter 5.
