After a LONG wait, here is the next chapter. Maybe it will sort out why you people are so confused? I know where the story is going from here. So expect lots more action, romance, and Secrets Revealed.

I was sitting out in the Kitchen of the ship that night. There was no one in this particular room and I had a pot in my hand. I could hear all the others out in the lounge chatting and Lulu's humming of the Hymn.

I was trying to think about what Tidus meant, when I suddenly heard Auron call me into the room. Tidus was sitting at the table, twitching a little. I gave him a faint smile and slumped down onto a chair. Liane nodded at me and smiled.

"Okay, everyone. Now that Rikku is here, let's get a few things straight," Liane said, addressing everyone.

I directed my attention to her and sighed.

"I have just heard news that Yuna is sending out waves of spells, breaking down people's minds slowly. But we can resist that."

"Actually, no," I said, standing up. "Tidus seems to have gone crazy, and Lulu drifts in and out of trances."

"Rikku, just because they are doing that, doesn't mean they have been affected." Auron cut in.

"Oh be quiet, you big bully! Tidus threatened me and that isn't like him! Something is happening now; we really need to avoid it. Can we please take this seriously?"

Everyone looked at each other nervously; even Tidus stopped twitching and glanced at me. I felt a little uncomfortable, with everyone eyeing me. Liane shifted in her seat and had an awkward smile on her face.

"Yes, we can. We just don't know what to do," Lulu said. "I have been feeling a little strange."

"Well, that settles it then. Once we get to Luca, we are going to find help, ok? Okay!" I said, punching the air with my fist.

Lulu slumped back into her seat, and started to hum again and Tidus pounced up, darting away to his room. I smirked a little, and then turned away. My pouch was heavy with grenades and I had a firm grip on the secrets of my weapons. My fighting was up to date, incase we had to in Luca.

Liane shrugged and turned around, heading for the deck.

I felt a strong hand on my shoulder and looked behind me to see Auron. He didn't have his katana for once.

"Come, Rikku. We are all going out to the decks."

I nodded and followed him out. He never changed his red coat and I was bewildered at how he kept it so clean. Lulu was waiting at deck, her arms crossed against her chest. I shrugged at Auron, and watched Tidus come flying out of the door, like a mad dog.

"S-so what are we doin' out here, Lu?" Tidus asked, stuttering a little.

"Talking about things," she simply said

Tidus frowned and made his way over to me.

"Hey Rikku! What's up?" He said, flinging his arms into the air.

I stepped back from him, kind of freaked out. He cocked his head at my silent treatment and moved to the incoming Wakka. I giggled a little and then caught sight of the trees in the not too far distance. All at once, memories flooded back to me. I don't know where from, maybe from stories told by Tidus, of Yuna on this ship, enjoying the breeze. I missed her. I wish she had never died.

"Luca is near," Auron said, choosing to ignore the shouting Tidus in the background.

I frowned a little, as I spotted smoke coming from the city.

"Yuna has been there, so we have a good chance of finding her," Liane said, looking out at the city.

I found one of my grenades in my pouch and threw it up and down like a ball. It was cold out on deck and my clothing meant for warm weather wasn't making it any better. I shivered and sat down on the wet wooden deck.

"So, we just find a cure to this craziness, and then we can keep looking for Yuna?" I asked.

"Correct," Auron muttered. "It shouldn't take long."

I hope not, I thought to myself. Yuna had been causing mass destruction and I kept thinking about what would happen if we did send her. Would she join Seymour in the Farplane?

I saw Liane sitting alone in the corner of the deck, her hands in her lap. She had her staff attached to her back and she was obviously going through the spell that would break down Yuna's powers.

"Will that spell work?" I asked.

"Oh yes! I have tested it many times on fiends and Yunalesca. It is very, very powerful, and we have to be careful it doesn't affect others."

I nodded. "Gotcha."

Liane brushed back her brown hair and continued working. She was settling in well, even though she could never, ever replace Yuna.
