Chapter 5
-
'Lalalala...' Rikku sang nervously to herself and looked around feeling like someone was following her. Her heart was beating real fast and her mind was racing with thoughts.
What time was it? How long had they've been there? Will the others ever find them? Would Tidus finally confess his love to her?
Rikku sighed. She knew that he would never love her and if he did, it would just cause pain to her dear cousin. I wish he just loved me from the start... she thought gloomily not noticing that up ahead was a dead end. She kept on walking, her head down low staring at her feet and her mind wandering about a million times a second.
'OWIEE!' She squealed her head banging on the wall making her stumble back a bit her hand quickly shot to her head rubbing it vigorously. This whole walk was for no reason at all! She shook her head in disbelief, mumbling to herself angrily in Al bhed and turned around back they way she came. Suddenly remembering that she could get to be with Tidus, she smiled hopefully and walked more quickly to the other end.
.x.x.x.
Yuna sat bolt right up. She had had another dream and this time it was about Tidus disappearing again.
'Are you alright?' Someone's voice asked her questioningly.
She turned towards Paine sitting on the chair who was leaning in a bit forward, her face scrunched up in concern and anxiousness. Yuna nodded still a bit shaken, making the girl lean back against the chair.
'What time is it?' Yuna asked in her soft tone wanting to change the subject. She squinted at the place where her clock was which was not visible because it was too dark.
'It's 3 in the morning...' Paine said slowly, wondering where Tidus and Rikku had got to but thinking twice about mentioning it.
'Where's Tidus?' Yuna asked exactly saying what Paine had thought, 'And Rikku?' She turned to the girl sitting on the chair, the room stayed quiet for a moment and Yuna felt a bit awkward.
'I got angry...' Paine finally said remembering Rikku's call and hated that she left them together... alone.
'What happened?' The girl on the bed asked, 'Was it Rikku?' Paine nodded not really wanting to go into detail about it.
'They should've been back by now...' Paine wondered out loud making Yuna's eyes bulge out thinking about all the possibilities.
'Do you think..?' Paine looked at her worried friend and shook her head. 'I mean.. do you think their in danger or..' Yuna clamped her eyes tight, she didn't want to think that Tidus would disappear again and more so think that he's dead!
'No,' Paine said breaking Yuna's train of thought, 'Definitely not.' The Goth-like girl stood up to walk out the door.
'Where are you going?' Yuna asked quickly clambering out of her bed, wanting to come too even though she was still too extremely tired.
'I'm gonna find them, let's go.' Paine walked out the door leaving Yuna to dress up as quick as she could.
.x.x.x.
'Okay.. let's see.. if E equals A and.. jeez! I can't work with this!' Tidus shouted impatiently at no one in particular. 'Where's Rikku if you need her?'
'HIYA!' Screamed a cheery familiar voice making Tidus jump about a meter in the air, 'Don't worry! I'm here!'
'Jeez, Rikku! You scared me!' He exclaimed in fake anger then suddenly hugged her, smiling happily that he wasn't alone anymore which he would never admit to anyone. When he pulled back, he noticed her cheeks had turned crimson and she suddenly looked away. Tidus raised an eyebrow at her.
'What's wrong?' He asked seriously not knowing what was going on.
'I..uh.. nothing..' She quickly said then changed the subject, 'So did ya find the carving?' Tidus nodded then pointed behind him on the wall.
'Dunno what it says...' Tidus began as she came closer to the carvings on the wall, 'That's why I wanted you here cause its in Al bhed.' Rikku frowned sadly which thankfully Tidus did not see because he was standing behind her. He didn't want her there because he wanted her but only for the sphere! Rikku felt like crying but assured herself to get focused or else he'd definitely know something was up.
'Okay...' She said taking a closer look at the carvings, 'It says: push the button to the right, you will see a flashing light, there it is, the precious treasure, clear in the open to your pleasure.' She turned around and smiled proudly at the Blitzer. He came closer to her which made Rikku hold her breath and before she knew it his face was right in hers.
'Rikku...' He whispered making her feel all tingly and woozy inside. She looked up at him, his deep ocean blue eyes and asked him what he needed.
'Could you...' He leaned in a bit forward making her feel weak inside, 'Press the button, please?' Rikku breathed out slowly so Tidus wouldn't notice, she was relieved that her suspicion of him kissing her did not come true but was also really hurt that he didn't.
'Hello..?' Tidus asked impatiently, snapping his fingers in front of the dazed blonde girl.
'Oh, sorry!' She apologized then pressed a little dusty button on the wall, which Tidus hadn't noticed before.
.x.x.x.
'Wait!' Yuna screamed trying to keep her voice not too loud, for people were already sleeping peacefully in their huts. The red-eyed girl halted and turned around to face Yuna who was trying to put on her other boot but suddenly fell over. Paine chuckled a little and helped the Ex-High summoner up.
'Thanks...' Yuna said smiling at her friend and brushing herself off. Paine nodded then turned right around and started walking into the woods again. Yuna followed close behind, her mind onto some serious matters. Where was Tidus? Where was Rikku? Had something happened? Are they endangered? Are they... dead? Yuna stopped suddenly. No... it cant be... oh, Yevon, no... please fayth please...
'Yuna?' Paine laid a hand on Yuna's shoulder, 'Don't worry... they aren't dead.' Or so I hope not...
Yuna smiled weakly trying to assure herself they weren't either and started walking again. Paine suddenly grabbed her making Yuna nearly trip. The bi-colored eye girl looked at her questioningly.
'Even if they were...' Paine continued not knowing why she wanted to say this but was too late to back out now, 'You got to have faith.'
Yuna nodded in agreement, knowing what Paine meant for she didn't mean faith as in hope but fayth as in the fayth. They both started walking again, still thinking and wondering about their friends then finally arrived at the entrance of the woods.
'Well... I guess the search has begun.' Yuna said to herself while Paine had started to shout out their friends names. They went more deeper into the woods and continued there search.
'Hey, what's this?' Yuna asked looking at a big tree trunk which had a huge hole inside it, 'Paine, come and have a look at this.' Paine walked over to the big tree trunk and stuck her head in.
'I smell Rikku...' Paine's voice echoed through the tree trunk, 'You can go inside for they might be in there.' She turned towards Yuna who was peering cautiously inside the tree.
'Um... I... ok then...' The half Al bhed girl said nervously looking at the complete darkness.
'I guess, if this will help...' Paine had an apologetic look on her face then quickly pushed Yuna inside the hollow tree.
.x.x.x.
'Whoa...!' Tidus had said before the wall had opened up, and as it had said in the carvings, a white flashing light had blinded them. The two companions blinked furiously their visions a bit blurred.
'Tidus? Do you see the sphere?' Rikku asked still not recovering from the sudden flash of whiteness, she looked to her right and saw a blurred figure walking to the open wall.
'Nope, not yet...' Tidus replied watching if anything else happened, after a second or two, he moved towards the darkness of the open wall when suddenly a small pillar was moving forward from the inside.
'W-w-what's.. THAT! Tidus?' Rikku urgently screamed lunging for his arm and clenching him hard enough to make him wince in pain. Tidus looked to his side were the scared thief was, it seemed like she still hadn't recovered from the light for her head was jerking this way and that, the noise that the pillar made when it came forward sort of screeched. Tidus pulled her close to him like an over-protective brother trying to keep his little sister from any danger, then stepped to the inside wall.
'See, Rikku?' Tidus said satisfied that he was right, 'There's nothing to be-' Out of the blue a pyrefly sped out of the darkness. She screamed at the sudden movement of light and ducked behind Tidus, thinking it was a fiend or something. She started crying uncontrollably to Tidus' surprise.
'I-I-I.. want to get out... p-p-lease.. T-T-Tidus...' She said also crying and sobbing while he patted her back.
'Just wait, Rikku, please... we have to find the sphere!' He soothed trying again to go inside while holding Rikku in his arms, 'I promise we'll be out if we find-'
'YAY!' Rikku screamed forgetting all about her fears, jumping into the piles of Gil which was hidden right behind the pillar, 'SPIRA! So many GIL!' Tidus laughed at her, stuffing her pockets with Gil.
I guess she can see again... Tidus thought to himself laughingly.
'Hey wait a sec...' Rikku said scratching her head turning to Tidus, 'How come we didn't see these before?' Tidus too was dumbfounded, how did they not see the big piles of shiny golden Gil?
'I... don't know...' He finally said after about a minute or two. Rikku looked at the Gil then shrugged and started to put as much of it as possible inside Tidus pockets.
'Hey, hey, hey!' Tidus shouted at her for he was getting already weighed down by brotherhood and his armor outfit, 'I think that's enough! We have to start looking for the sphere!' He moved forward one step and, because he had to much weight on him, fell on top of Rikku. She blushed furiously but didn't push him off. He looked at her feeling very uncomfortable and tried avoiding her eye contact. She could feel his body heat, his warmthness, his breath on her face, his.. WEIGHT!
She pushed him off her, the moment had been wrecked, she couldn't breathe and now understood how he felt with all that stuff on him.
'I.. um.. sorry?' She weakly said smiling at him then held out her hand, he shook it back and they both cracked up laughing, the tension between them gone replaced by friendship again.
'Come on..' He said to her helping her off the ground, 'I'm guessing the sphere's in the pillar.' They walked towards the pillar and peered inside. And as he guessed, it was there right there blue and shiny sort of waiting for them. Rikku reached out to grab it up, smiling happily that they at least completed their mission. Suddenly there was a big low rumble and the wall started to cave in. Tidus grabbed Rikku's hand and they both fled to the entrance of the cave, Gil coming out of their pockets.
.x.x.x.
'Tidus? Rikku? Are you's in here?' Yuna shouted and looked at her surroundings with disgust on her face, there was green slimes on the walls and the floor felt all damp like. 'Hey guys! It's me Yu-'
What was that? What's that noise? Yuna squinted up ahead and her eyes became wide, she saw Tidus and Rikku running and the walls behind them were caving in like a volcanic eruption.
'YUNA!' He shouted hurriedly then grabbed her hand and they altogether ran to the entrance of the tree.
'WHERE'S PAINE?' Rikku screamed when they finally arrived at the entrance, a patch of light from above indicating it was already early morn.
'PAINE GET YOUR- OWWIIEEE!' Yuna and Tidus looked up to see Paine who was holding a rope ladder which accidentally hit Rikku on the head.
'YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!' Rikku shrilled rubbing her head vigorously.
'RIKKU HURRY UP AND CLIMB THE DAMN ROPE!' Paine's voice rang out which was filled with anger. Rikku obediently obeyed then scuttled up to the light as if her butt was caught on fire.
'GO YUNA!' Tidus quickly shouted pulling her up by the waist so she would get to the top more faster. Yuna tried her best not to look back, and started climbing up as fast as her puny legs could take her. Tidus took one last look at the crumbling ruins which were starting to build behind him then hurried up, right behind Yuna.
