Oh! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in the longest time! I'm so uninspired! ) I should go play FF X-2 for a few hours. But first! I have to write you guys (Who are actually reading…) an update!
Read and review, please!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Around midnight, Rikku snuck into Besaid, hoping to get out as soon as possible. It was scarier at night, and she could hear the fiends breathing, it was so quiet. She took a deep breath, and went off at a sprint to her hut.
There was no doubt Tidus and Yuna were fighting. She could hear the yells, shouts, and sobs. It terrified her that she caused it, and on free will.
She heard words like "Home wrecker," "Man whore", "Slut," and it broke her heart. Very un-Yunie-like words. It was about her. Her Yunie was calling her a home wrecker and slut?
She felt the adrenaline. Her hands were shaking, and sobs were ready to explode from her. I knew this would happen. I'm so stupid!
Being as quiet as she could, she crept into her hut, only right next to Yuna's. Rikku picked up bag and started throwing random dress sphere's in there. Yuna and Tidus had stopped screaming, and whispered rumors were heard throughout the rest of the village.
Yuna was sniffing and hiccuping while Tidus was 'shhh'ing her.
"Come on Yuna, you know I love only you."
And that was a pang in the heart for Rikku.
Yuna and Tidus didn't say anything anymore, but she knew their fight wasn't over yet. She and betrayed her Yunie's trust, and Paine would see it the same. Was it possible she lost both her best friends in the same night?
Dammit.
Looking around, she said good-bye to what she called her home.
I screwed up everything…
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Gippal?" Rikku said into her phone receiver (1). "Can you come pick me up? I'm ready."
"I'm here now, so hurry up," He said back. She thanked him and hung up her phone. Carelessly and quickly, she shoved it back into her pocket as she made a quick getaway to the beach. When she crossed one of the many bridges, she decided not to cry about this anymore.
At least in front of Gippal, anyway. I'm 'happy-go-lucky Rikku! I can have any of this crying messing up my image! The usually optimistic girl thought with her first smile that weekend.
She saw Gippal's airship near the dock and waved. Excitedly jumped onto the long ramp to get on and waited for the mechanical door to open.
"Finally!" She blurted as it slowly did. Gippal was sitting in the controlling seat poking around at a few buttons.
"Hey princess! You sound oddly cheery!" He said without looking back.
She wiped a last tear off her cheek and put on one of those faux-smiles she was so good at.
"Well, I gotta get back to Rikku-ness! I'm leaving Besaid aren't I? And I'll make she my problems stay there!" She said with a nod and walked up and placed a hand on the back of his seat. "Thanks, Gippal!"
"For what?" He asked. He kept poking at the little buttons and staring intently at the screen.
"Weren't you listening at all to me?" She asked with a very demented –Rikku like- smirk.
"Hmm? I'm sorry, I'm not really listening…" He replied.
"Typical!" She whacked him in the back of the head.
And of course, that got his attention.
"What'd you hit me for!" He yelled animatedly. Rikku 'aughed' and forced a giggle.
I better not get Gippal mad at me too…"I was sayin' thanks, but I guess now I'm gonna take it back…" She trailed off and sat in the seat next to him.
"'Kay."
"You were supposed to care, ya know!" Pouting, now.
"Go get some sleep in the cabin Rikki. I gotta call your pops, and I think it'd be better he didn't know you were staying at the Faction." He reasoned, and went back to ignoring her.
"Why not?" She asked curiously. He pops wouldn't mind if she were helping Gippal out.
And he kept ignoring her.
"Surly someone'll notice and tell pops," she reasoned with him.
He waved her off.
How rude! Why won't he talk to me…? Oh! Oh no! What if he knows what I did to Yuna?"Fine! Meanie!" Rikku stuck her tongue out at him and walked up the short ramp to the cabins. "When are we gonna get to Djose?" She tried to get him to talk to her.
"Around six. AM, of course. So get some sleep, because I'll be waking you up when we get there." He smirked at her, knowing her weaknesses.
Why's he talking to me now? And why's he…smirking…? WAIT A SECOND…"Six in the morning!"
Now of course, being a princess had it's many benefits. And of course, her favorite was sleeping in. Six AM was not a time for Rikku Highwind to wake up. And of course, Gippal knew that. He grew up with her!
Is he doing this to me on purpose?"You know you won't be staying there for free, Princess. You're going to work for me!" He turned and smirk at her. "So rest up, Cid's Girl! You're going to need it."
So, I see he didn't grow out of his cockiness. Not that anyone expected him to.
"I never agreed to work for you!" She childishly argued.
"Hey, I can always drop you right back off at Besaid."
"Uhm… Don't do that," Rikku asked. A desperate tone was laced through her words. Gippal looked at her closely and noticed she wasn't playing anymore.
"What's so bad about Besaid anyway, Rikki? You never told me," He asked. By the tone of his voice, he obviously expected an answer. An answer Rikku was sure she would never give him.
I don't need him to think I'm a 'slut,' or HOMEWRECKER, either.
"Don't worry, Gip! I'm gonna go get some sleep now."
Come on Rikku; throw on your fake smile now!It was routine by now. She put on the fake smile. Gippal, not really believing her, eyed her smile. He kept looking for a few moments and it never left.
How does he always know there's something wrong with me? He could tell since we were little. It doesn't matter anyway, I won't tell him. How long am I supposed to keep this smile on?
"Can I stop smiling now please?"
He shrugged and went back to his seat, and she went to bed.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The loud clunk of Al Bhed made shoes were heard pounding loudly across the airships metal floors. Rikku noticed the dim light of the sun coming up and groaned. She could easily put two and two together. Rikku was being woken up. At six AM.
"Come on Princess! Get your ass outta bed!"
Rikku sputtered a few incoherent words and flipped the blankets off of her body. In true Rikku nature, she rolled out of bed. Literally.
"Nice outfit," Gippal 'complimented' coolly. Rikku looked down and blushed immediately.
Well this is a nice way to wake up…Rikku's beautiful outfit consisted of her normal yellow thong, which gave Gippal a perfect view of her ass. She fiercely grabbed for the blanket and rolled herself up in it.
"Or lack of." Gippal added on to his previous comment in a very smart-ass tone.
"Get out of here! Perv!" She cried right after his sentence. Her didn't comply to her order though, and just continued to smirk at her.
"Your hair looks lovely too." He winked and chose now to walk out of the room.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
