Chapter 8
'Hurry up Rikku!' Tidus shouted, turning around to the red faced, puffing Al Bhed. She rolled her eyes at him while doing so, she tripped over. The blitzer shook his head, laughing at the blonde girl's clumsiness and walked over to help her up.
She glared at him furiously. 'Don't you laugh at me!' Rikku accused then held her head up high, walking past him. Tidus laughed quietly, grinning at the young girl in front of him and started following close behind her.
Just ahead of them a cluster of little children were running toward there direction, all of them were like little athletes trying to beat one another and win the race. At first the two companions didn't notice the kids running towards them but when they did, the kids were already a few feet away.
Rikku and Tidus were swamped by the little children in all directions. When they finally past, the two teens turned towards each other questioningly then turned their gaze to a little girl who was lagging way behind. She ran past them then stopped suddenly and turned around to face them. She bolted up to them her mouth wide opened as if she just swallowed something whole. Tidus raised his eyebrow, did he have something on his face? He touched his face embarassingly.
'Oh my gosh!' The little kid squealed still staring wide eyed at the two confused friends, 'Your Lady Yuna's cousin!' She pointed at the dazed young thief and smiled widely before turning to Tidus. 'OH! And your Lady Yuna's boyfriend!' Tidus looked down onto the sand, trying to hide his red face making it obvious to see, of course, Rikku laughed at him.
'Hi! I'm Veela!' The little kid introduced excitedly bowing to the both of them, 'What's yours name?' Rikku smiled then picked Veela up to her surprise. 'Well, I'm Rikku!' The thief said still holding the shocked but thrilled little girl. Tidus waited for his intro but to his dissapointment, didn't get one.
'Hey! Aren't you an Al Bhed?' Veela asked before Tidus could introduce himself. She ogled at Rikku's emerald twinkling eyes. Rikku started looking uncomfortable remembering the situation with the machina and how the people didn't trust her kind.
'Shouldn't you be getting back to your friends now Veela?' Tidus asked nicely, changing the subject to Rikku's relief. Veela cocked her head towards the blitzer her hair swiftly hitting Rikku's face. Cdibet get.. Rikku though icily, ev E luimt zicd-
'Well..' Veela exclaimed sarcastically breaking Rikku's consideration, 'How can I? If she's still holding me?' Tidus coughed a bit failing to hide his snigger from Rikku. The thief shot him a death glare then smiled at Veela and put her down.
'Now off you go!' Rikku exclaimed sweetly not standing the irritating little girl any longer, 'Go! C'mon! You can-' Suddenly two tiny little arms were around Rikku's waist, hugging her tightly as if she was a huge teddy bear. Rikku looked at Tidus uneasily feeling way guilty of what she had thought a while back.
'Thanks for your time Lady Rikku!' Veela said doing the prayer of Yevon then turned to Tidus, 'And you too.. um.. Lady Yuna's boyfriend.' Hmm.. Lady Yuna's boyfriend.. sounds like a nice nick! Tidus thought smiling at his own joke. They watched Veela quickly turn around and run towards the beach to join her friends playing Blitzball with the Aurochs. Rikku suddenly laughed out loud, to Tidus confusion, and then started walking towards the village again mumbling something about Lady Yuna's boyfriend.
.x.x.x.
Yuna knocked again. Where was everyone? She opened her mouth and was about to shout if anyone was there when someone finally opened the door.
'Yuna? Whatcha doin', ya?' The Besaidan blitzer questioned as Yuna walked inside. Lulu and Paine were both staring at her, eyebrows raised, both wanting to know why the girl was there.
'Yuna?' Lulu asked before Paine even opened her mouth, 'Are you okay?' She walked up to the Ex-High summoner, gently taking her arm and led her to the bamboo woven couch. Yuna nodded silently, the feeling of dread still in the pits of her stomache. Where was Tidus? She bit her lip trying to stop herself from crying, nearly everything to do with Tidus was making her cry now unlike a few days ago.
'I- I..' Yuna stuttered. She sighed suddenly making her other three friends look more anxious and curious. Paine walked over to Yuna, and stood in front of her, who had her bi-colored eyes averted to the floor. The warrior folded her arms like she was the know-it-all.
'Tidus, right?' Paine asked in her monotone voice making it sound quite obvious and simple. Yuna nodded sadly, feeling that she could not be apart from him any longer, it's been two years and now this? She inhaled deeply, trying her best not to cry. She knew, in the back of her mind, she was over-reacting but she was not going to admit it. Lulu put her hand on the fragile looking girl's back and rubbed it gently trying to comfort her.
'Don't worry, Yuna.' Lulu whispered soothingly into Yuna's small ear, 'He is here and I know that for sure, he wont dissapear this time.'
This time? Yevon, I hate thinking of him like he was just a dream... Yuna stared at the small black beetle crawling under her legs, she gazed at its shiny polished back and sighed again, nothing would take her mind off him. Wakka coughed loudly trying to make everything go back to a normal Besaid sunny day.
'Let's eat, ya!' He exclaimed dramatically trying his best to smile, 'So what do you want, Yu? Crab with-' Lulu looked up to his direction, her eyes wide with a big no-no look and shook her head in small quick movements. Wakka's face dropped slightly then he nodded obediently and shutted up.
'Could I just stay here for awhile, please?' Yuna asked softly, still staring at the beetle which was now trying to climb up Lulu's leather dress, 'Till he..' Yuna swallowed a lump in her throat and didn't continue.
'Yes of course, Yuna, anytime.' Lulu said, calmly flicking the beetle off her precious clothing then stood up to start over her cooking once again. Yuna kept staring at the black beetle, not really interested but wanting to take her mind off him, she watched it crawl slowly over to Paine's black boot and was dimly aware of the conversation going on.
'We should do something to cheer her up, ya!' Wakka suggested worriedly looking over at Yuna then turned to his black mage wife who was currently putting a fresh new batch vegetable in the fry pan.
'Fire,' Lulu whispered as flames came from her hand to the stove then she faced her husband frowning a bit, 'Wakka.. leave it. She needs her space and I know he will come, so don't worry.' Lulu turned back to her cooking as if settling the matter and started taking out more utensils from the cupboard. Wakka nodded not wanting to be an interference or take the matters any longer, he definitely didn't want the mage to be mad at him.
'We could watch the sphere.' Paine suddenly said not inquiring it as the other two turned their gaze towards the warrior, 'She's here right? It's not like the other two are coming soon, so we could watch the sphere while we wait.' Lulu stopped chopping the ingredients for the cooking, then thought about what Paine had just said. The black mage turned around to face the goth-like girl, who had her arms folded and stepped on the black beetle near her foot which was litterally bugging her. This made Yuna snap back to reality and look up at the others, complete interest and utter confusion shown on her pale white face. Wakka looked sideways at his wife, then to the warrior and straight at Yuna, smiling weakly.
'Well, Yu.. we wanted-'
'Look here, Yuna..' The black mage commanded interferingly, watching the young woman convert her bi-colored eyes at her, 'We decided to watch the sphere and we wanted you to watch as well.'
Yuna slowly nodded, yes, got up and walked over to the others who were already crowded around it.
'Let's play, ya!' Wakka said impatiently to no one in particular as both, Lulu and Paine, rolled their eyes.
Yuna reached over, ignoring the commotion that was errupting between her companions and activated the sphere. At first there was no noise at all, then this huge static was heard making everyone block their ears suddenly. After that a voice started but no picture appeared.
'Braska! Braska! It's a girl!' the sound of a baby crying is heard
'Our beautiful baby girl!'
'Braska..' the woman's voice starts fading
'My lady? MY LADY?' the man starts sobbing then everything is silent
The Besaid blitzer and the mage turn towards the motionless daughter of the people heard in the sphere. Paine turns her head also, curiousness written all over her face. Yuna is stock still and looking paler than usual. Why would anyone want to put a sphere of her parents in an underground tunnel? Lulu turns her head to her husband as if, wanting for the first time, for him to do something but he just shrugs unsurely. Paine rolled her eyes at the two and gently laid a helping hand on Yuna's shoulder.
'You okay?' She asked the stunned half Al-Bhed who suddenly turned away, her eyes filling with salty tears.
'Yuna..'
She looked up in bewilderment staring wide eyed at the sphere. Could it be true? Was the sphere trying to comfort her or.. contact her?
'I'll call you Yuna.. after Yunalesca.' the sound of a baby giggling is heard
'Welcome to Bevelle, Yuna!' Man's voice falters a bit 'Wish your mother was still-'
The three turned, amazed, to the Ex-High summoner who had just shut the sphere off.
'I've heard enough..' Yuna whispered, her voice calm but quivery, 'I wan't-' She looked up at the others who were anxiously waiting what she would say next, 'I wan't to visit the farplane.' They looked at her amazed while Wakka kept opening and shutting his mouth like a goldfish getting stared at in a watertank.
'But Yuna!' Wakka finally exclaimed as he threw his arms up in frustation, 'You can't! Your people need you here, ya!' Yuna swallowed a bit, which Paine noticed making the warrior shake her head in dissaproval.
'It's her decision!' Paine retorted standing up for the summoner and knowing Yuna wouldn't if it had anything to do with her people, 'There's nothing here to kill! No Sin, no Vegnagun, nothing!' Lulu nodded in agreement whilst watching Yuna who was silently looking at the table, feeling very uncomfortable of what was happening in front of her.
'But- but-' Wakka looked from Yuna, to Paine then to Lulu who was still nodding, 'LULU!' She shot him a glare making him wish he had withdraw what he'd said.
'It is Yuna's decision.' Lulu stated firmly staring at her terrified husband then looking back at Yuna's pale face, 'Noone's going to stop her!' The room was filled with a short silence when Wakka decided to open his mouth.. once again.
'How long will you stay? How- what-' Lulu sighed exasperatedly and rolled her eyes.
'Wakka.. one more time.. ONE more time!' Lulu pointed her finger at him dangerously. Yuna coughed out loud so they would turn their attention to her.
She said more to herself than to the others. 'I will be only staying a few days.. only a few days..'
'Few days? Staying where?' They all turned towards the source of the voice which was the owner of a blonde headed cocky blitzer. Yuna's eyes widened as she stood up from the seat and started bolting to the door. She felt like she was repeating things like when he first arrived to Besaid a few days ago.
'Tidus?' She asked, her voice coming out all shaken, how did she forget? She wildly put his arms around his neck as he held her, tightly, around her waist.
'Yep, that's my name!' He replied cheekily not noticing the tears falling onto his back, from her bi-colored eyes. Yuna, in her state, couldn't help but smile, she quickly wiped off the tears before she looked him straight in his eyes. He noticed something was up by the way everyone was silent and the way Yuna was looking at him
'What's wrong?' He asked, his voice filled with concern and anxiousness as he stroked his fiance's cheek.
Yuna looks to the others nervously, waiting for them to say something but they didn't answer. Tidus was left hanging, making him feel annoyed and impatient at the others.
'Well?' He asked angrily at everyone except Yuna who dug her face into his neck, 'Can someone please answer me?' Paine glared at him, no one could talk to her that way, Lulu stared at the boy thinking of someone he reminded her of while Wakka avoided him entirely. Yuna sighed and knew she would have to be the one to speak eventually.
'I want.. I need to visit the farplane.' She whispered just as Rikku came walking up to the door.
'YAH WHAT?' Rikku cried out doubtfully. Yuna looked up to her Al Bhed who was standing behind Tidus, her hands on her hips and frowning a little.
'Um.. I want to visit my parents..' Yuna whispered barely enough for Rikku to hear. The Al Bhed swallowed a bit then patted her crying cousin who had let go of Tidus and started hugging the thief.
'There, there..' Rikku soothed laying her blonde head on the summoner's brown one, 'Sshh.. don't worry.. I just thought, since Tidus and.. yeah..' Yuna shook her head turning her bi-colored eyes towards the Zanarkand Blitzer who was standing powerlessly away from the two.
'I know Rikku.. it's just.. I know.. the wedding..' Yuna stuttered as Rikku continued to comfort her, 'It's just.. I want.. my parents.. I need to see..' Rikku nodded vigourously.
'Yes.. don't worry, Yunie! I know.. I was just worried..' Rikku explained tiredly, ignoring the comment about the wedding which she tried her best not to think about, 'E zicd.. nasaspan mycd desa, Yunie?' The ex High summoner nodded remembering Shuyin and how she mistakenly thought he was.. him.
'HEY HEY!' Wakka shouted to them making everyone turn towards him, 'Wer'e not Al Bhed, ya!' Rikku shot him a glare as he sighed tiredly. 'Numba two..' He whispered to himself as Yuna patted him on his masculine shoulder and they all headed inside.
