Rikku,
Yuna, and Paine went back to the tunnel where Tidus and Yuna was
attack. Yuna may not remember but that was something that Rikku wants
to forget. That event gives her nightmare every night during Yuna
pilgrimage. Even though the nightmares die down, they're awakening
after arriving walking to the hallway that leads to the room where
Tidus and Yuna dies. Rikku stopped as her team looked back.
"Rikku,
what's wrong" Yuna asked her but no replied.
"RIKKU?"
Paine called out but still didn't answer. "This is the first time
that Rikku EVER been quiet. That not likes her." Paine said to
Yuna.
"I know. I don't remember being here, but it seems that
something bad happen here, two years ago."
"Rikku," Yuna
quietly called out her name.
"E lyh'd...hud oad...hud oad.."
Rikku whisper.
I can't...not yet...not yet..
"What's you
mean not yet?" Paine asked her.
"I can't face it again,
no!" She cried. She duck and cover her face. "I can't face it!
I can't face it!"
"Its better if we come back here another
time." Paine suggests.
"Yea, that's a good idea." Yuna
replied, and carried Rikku back to the airship, Celsius.
Back at
Celsius, Yuna tried to get through to Rikku.
"Rikku, can you
hear me?" Yuna asked here.
"Are you sure you weren't there
during you pilgrimages?" Paine asked again.
"I don't
remember. I remember escape from Bevelle but that just it." Yuna
answers. Just than Rikku woke up and look at her teammates.
"Hey
guys, what's up?"
"What's wrong with you?" Paine asked
Rikku.
"Rikku, was you in a trace or spell?" Yuna asked.
"No,
what are you guys talking about?"
"I mean when we were in that
tunnel in Bevelle…" But Rikku face change.
"Oh…you don't
remember, do you?" Rikku said in silently.
"What am I suppose
to remember?" Yuna asked her.
"That dream…of Tidus and you
dying…it wasn't a dream at all." Rikku answers.
The team was
quiet.
"It was real?" Yuna asked.
"It was real…too real
and I was there. It was something that I want to forget." Rikku
started to cry.
"So it wasn't a dream." Yuna mumble to
herself.
Rikku shook her head. "You did die there, during your
pilgrimages…"
The
team returns to the tunnel of the cave with Rikku in arms. Each step
that Rikku, she remember her nightmares. Lost in her own trance she
recalls every word that was said in that even.
It's a lot of
words so I'm not recalling it.
When they got to the Macalania
forest, Rikku stopped when she say a prayer for Tidus.
Please
bring back Tidus, my secret cru...opps!" Rikku said covering her
mouth. But it was already too late. Yuna and Paine knew, two years
ago, she has a crush on Tidus too.
"That's all I remember,"
Rikku lied.
"I see. So that dream, it wasn't my dream. It was
my memories." Yuna answers.
"Since than, I've been having
nightmare every night during your pilgrimages." Rikku told her.
"And now I'm going to have that again." Rikku begin to
cry.
"Rikku," Yuna hugs her. "But you did save us. You save
us both."
"I know but…" she begin silent.
"We all got
scars from our battle, let heal them together." Paine announces
"And beside, I miss the blabber mouth Rikku."
That makes Rikku
laugh. Yuna turn to her.
"You're ready to go back?" Yuna
asked.
"Yea…it's time to face my nightmares." Rikku
replied.
And all in arms YRP return to tunnel, together.
