Yay! Thanks for all the reviews guys! And to answer a few questions...

There isn't always a specific preventable reason as to why a person can have a miscariage, my aunt had 2 miscariges before she finally had her kids. It can be a whole manner of things that can cause it.

And it was Gippal's baby, not Aurons.

Anyways, heres chapter 3. Ive been kicking ass as far as updating, i think this is the most I ever have in the short time span...

Disclaimer: I wish I could get as much money from this fic as they made on FFX...but sadly I cant...


My heart bleeds no longer: Chapter 3

The Psyches were down by 1 up until the thrid minute in the last half, then Nige and another team member manged to score two, literally, last minute goals against the Ronsos securing their victory. The Team filed tiredly into the locker room where coach, who for some reason sat this game out, was waiting for them.

"That was awful..." He started, but after that Rikku just kind of faded out, not really in the mood to listen about how they cold have done better and the like. It was, afterall, the same speech after every game.

Instead she though about her plan of action as far as getting out of Luca with Gippal with out being conned into hanging out with Yuna. She wold have to find him first, which wouldn't be hard cause he was proably already looking for her.

She grabbed her clothes and bag and dashed into the showers, just rinsing off. She quickly dried her body and dressed in her theif outfit. She stuffed her wet clothes in her bag, reminding herself to remind herself later to hang them up so they could dry properly,a dn slung the bag over her shoulder. She then dashed out of the locker room where no one really noticed her speedy exit, they were all concentrating too hard on ignoring coach who was still ranting. She looked around trying to spot Gippal who was uaually wating for her.

She heard cheers back inside the stadium, and turned realizing that there were still games to be played. She slapped her self on the forehead, he was still in there watching the game, proably with Baralai, who was most likely with Paine, who was no doubt with Yuna and the others. She graoned and marched up the steps, which for some reason today, seemed longer than ususal.

She got to the top and tried to figure out where they usually sat. It was hard because there were no real assigned seating and the place was a giant circle. She knew it was close to the south exit, so thats the way she went.

On the way there she got congragulated on a good game and the like, but she wasn't really listening, she had one goal in mind. When she finally reached the south exit, she looked down into the crowd before her searching for famialiar hair. She finally spotted Paine's silver hair and noted, with distain, that the whole gang was there, excpet for Tidus and Wakka who were currently playing in the game

She jumped the steps two by two and came down to the row that they occupied. She thanked the higher powers that Gippal was sitting on the end.

"Hey" She said kneeling down next to her.

"Hey yourself, good game!" He said patting her head.

"We have to go..." She said her eyes pleading for him to understand.

He nodded and stood up causing the others to take their attention away from the game and notice Rikku.

"Hey where are you guys going? You should stay for the game!" Yuna said.

Rikku was about to come up with an excuse as to why they couldn't but Gippal spoke first, "We can't, apprently

Rikku's pop has some urgent business to be taken care of, duty calls, ya' know?" He looked and Rikku and smiled.

"Yeah you know how pops is yuna, all demanding and everything." Rikku added and grabbed Gippals hand.

"Okay but you promised you would visit!" Yuna pouted.

Rikku nodded, "Sure, when I get the time..." Yuna stood and gave Rikku a hug.

"See ya' later then?"

Rikku pulled away and grabbed Gippal's hand, "Bye Yuna!" She pulled Gippal away who was watching the entire scene trying to figure out if it was funny or sad.

Yuna sat back down heavily next to LuLu, "What's wrong?" LuLu asked sincing a problem.

"She dosn't call me Yunie anymore..." She said sadly.

LuLu smiled sadly. She knew of Rikku's problem with Yuna. She could just tell. It wasn't too hard for anyone watching to see that Rikku obviously wasn't confortable talking to Yuna anymore, the way she always had an excure to leave, or made it a point to aviod her all together. She didn't blame Rikku either. It was natural to have feeling like that after what they had all been through.

She sighed and continued to watch the game, deciding it was really none of her business.

meanwhile...

Gippal volunteered to drive saying that Rikku was too tired. She didn't object, it was nice just to ride. The ride was made in silence. Rikku wanted to say something to him, but didn't know what it would be. He seemed a little sad. She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his back. He didn't do anything.

When they finally arrived at Djose it was late. The sun had already been down for over an hour, it was quiet. All the workers were either out, still at the stadium, or asleep. Rikku dismounted the speed and stretched, but Gippal didn't move. She blinked trying to figure out if he was mad or something.

It statled her when he finally spoke, "So why is it that you hate Yuna so much."

Rikku was suprised by the boldness of the question. She was trying to think of an excuse other than she got her boyfriend back, adn I didn't. She opened and closed her mouth a few times, but nothing could come out. She knew that this discussion was going to end badly.

When she didn't answer Gippal stood up to face her. He grabbed her shoulders rather roughly and made her look at him, "Just tell me, please!"His eyes full of pain, "You told me your feelings twoards her a long time ago, but you never gave me a legitimite reason as to why. I know you, you don't dislike people with out a good god damn reason..."

She had to tell him now, "Because I'm jealous..." She stated fianlly.

He pulled away, "I knew it, you in love with Tidus!"

"What" She said confused, "No! No! I didn't mean it like that!" She said defending herself.

"Then what do you have to be jealous of?" He said suspociously.

She sighed and leaned against the wall of the walkway they were on, "Because she got everything she wanted and I didn't..." She really didn't know how to explain to her fiance that she wanted Auron, or rahter didn't want to. She was afraid of what he might think.

"Explain..." He ordered crossing hsi arms.

She bit her lip, but continued, "On the pilgramige everyone lost something that they loved, espically me and Yuna..." She started, "Yuna just happeded to get hers back, and I didn't."

Gippal was confused now more than ever, but before he could say so she continued, "It's not fair that I risked as much as anyone else, not once, but twice, and Yuna manged to get the love of her life back, and I didn't. I mean the whole point to that second journey was that Yuna could get Tidus back, and I complyed hoping the whole time that I would be rewarded with the man I love to come back also, but he didn't." She started to cry now, but Gippal didn't move. She was still in love with someone else, albeit, a dead someone else, but it was another man none the less. But who was it?

"And now..." She sniffed wiping her eyes, "Yuna's pregnant, and Im not." Gippal was taken back a bit, but didn't let it show. He thought Yuna was a little chubbier than usual.

Gippal could understand her reasoning behind her resintment twoards Yuna, even though he didn't like it. He knew what had to be done now, "So your setteling?" He asked quietly.

"What," She looked up at him, her eyes full of tears, "No, Gippal, I love you!"

"I know you do, but not as much as this other person" When Rikku didn't object Gippal continued, "It's not fair to either of us to keep this up any longer..."

Rikku took two steps twoards him closing the distance a bit, "Gippal no, it's really..."

He stopped her, "Maybe not for good." She looked at him oddly, "You know...If you love something let it go and if it comes back...blah blah blah"

"Gippal..." She toutched his cheek sadly. She knew that this was for the best, She did after all want to get away for a while, and this was the perfect chance. She wasn't entirely happy about it though. he grabbed her hand and ran his thumb over the ring he had given her. It was platinum with 3 emeralds around a diamond in the center

"Keep the ring..." he said.

"No I can't..." She shook her head attempting to take the thing off.

He stopped her, "it was your mom's anyways..." She looked up at his eyes wide, "Your dad gave it to me when I first talked to him about marriage."

Rikku nodded and hugged Gippal tightly. She thanked the gods that he didn't ask her who the object of her affection was. She didn't know if she would have been able to tell him that. She pulled away and he turned, "Its been a long day, you should go to bed." He walked off with out another word.

She stared after him sadly and looked down to the ring on her finger. It was her mom's. She still felt strange wearing it. She opted though to leave it on though. She made her way abck to her room where she began to pack. She didn't want to be here in the morning. It would be too acquard. She pulled out a huge bag out of her closet and layed it on her bed, and began to grab her things and shove them into the bag. Fortunately she didnt have too much stuff there, just the bare essentials. She would need two bags though.

After everything she considered important was packed she grabbed the sphere-com off of her night stand, "Vydran?" She spoke into it. She hoped that he had it with him.

"Rikku is that you?" came the raspy voice on the other end.

"yeah it's me" She said sadly.

"Rikku what's wrong?" he said.

"Meet me at the Moon Flow, I wanna come home..."

The Farplane...

Auron once again was at his usual spot on his lege looking over the farplane, and in his usually stoic mood. Who knew that Death would be so boring. He felt a presence behind him and knew it to be Braska. She didn't say anything as his old friend came to sit next to him.

"Auron, your bored..." it was a statement rather than a question.

"That would be an understatement." Auron finally answered.

Braska chuckled, "Well would you rather be back on spira?" Auron looked at Braska as if he was joking. Braska knew the answer to that question even before it was asked. Braska's face suddenly became very serious, "Spira's sorrow had returned..."

"Spira's what?" Auron asked now intrested in the conversation.

"Spira's sorrow, it's the soul of a woman who died a long time ago."

"Why is this such a bad thing" Auron knew that there was a catch to this conversation, hopefully the one he was thinking of.

"Because if her soul posses someone who is on a great deal of pain, well grief."

"And what happens when it posesses a person?"

"The person is consumed and they become something inhumane alltogether. No one knows what because The Sorrow has never escaped before."

"Didn't Seymoure say something about Spira's Sorrow before Yuna finally sent him?"

Braska nodded.

"So it was Seymoure who helped her espape."

Braska nodded again, "They want me to go back to help bring it back." Auron nodded. He knew that something like that was bound to come up.

"When are you going?" He asked.

"I'm not..."

"But-?"

"You are..." Braska smiled.

"What, why?" Auron stuttered.

"Because I don't need a second chance at life, you do." He smiled thinking of his neice.

Auron shook his head, "I have done everything in life that I was ment to do. Don't you want to see Yuna?"

"I will remain here with my wife. This is where I belong now, you need to go back and take care of my neice."

Auron tried to deny it, but nothing came out when he spoke. He looked at his hands, or rahter looked through them. He looked at Braska and tried to speak again, but as before nothing came out. Braska smiled and winked, "Enjoy life this time, but don't forget your mission, if you fail, you'll come right back here."

That was the last thing he heard before everything became white.
