Rikku had ran ahead but I chose to walk down slowly. This unfortunately meant I was a little late to restrain Rikku when I saw her kicking buddy.

"He killed Brother." Rikku argued against Yuna. I walk up behind her.

"Rikku!" I yell stopping her.

"But Brother." Rikku starts to argue with me. She turns and kicks him.

Yuna bends down and picks something up. "What's this?" A note? She hands it to Rikku. "Its in al bhed."

Rikku looks down to the writing. "If you should find me… It's a suicide note."

Yuna cuts in "So he did this to himself?"

Rikku continued. "Please bury me with Shinra on the Meihen highroad I spent most of my life travelling and would like to be there… Why would he want to be buried with Shinra he killed the guy?"

But he didn't kill Shinra. "Unless." I drop a hint.

"Rikku I would like to admit I loved your." She stops. I look over her shoulder and read the next line. Brother? "I might want to keep that bit to myself." Good idea. I agree. "Yuna I hope you find."

Yuna stops her. "Hey what if I want to keep that bit to myself?"

"Because you can't read al bhed and anyway it's nothing that isn't already public." Rikku was right. Yuna should have known that.

Yuna submits. "Fine go on."

Rikku gets going again. "Yuna I hope you find Tidus some day and it is a shame I won't be able to help you… Paine" Rikku looks to me for a reaction but I'm fine with it being read. "I hope you find what ever it is you are looking for one day what ever it is."

So predictable. "Well that was expected." I say in my effortless way.

Rikku goes on "The Girls I hope you get who ever did this to Brother and Shinra. What? So he didn't kill them? Sorry for kicking ya Buddy."

"Then who did?" Yuna questioned.

"Paine did you kill Brother, Shinra and Buddy?" Rikku asks me. What? Oh wait it was a joke.

"What? No." I answer still surprised.

Rikku starts on a theory from the top of her head. "We must of. I mean the al bhed must have done it." Oh god well if it keeps me in the clear I can like it. "Paine grab Buddy." She asks me.

"Yes captain." I say as a joke.

"Captain?" Yuna mutters. I immediately regret the joke. "Where are we going?" Yuna asks.

"Meihen Highroad." Rikku replies.

Later on the way to the highroad.

I'm at the bar. Yuna is lying down taking a rest upstairs. It was nice and peaceful. Suddenly the ship is hit by a large loud wave of music it could only be one thing. "Rikku!" I yell I grab my sword on the way out.

"RIKKU!" I yell as I walk in lift my sword and hurl it into the speakers. I look back to Rikku. She gives me an innocent look. "You do realise we need to." Stop looking at me like that. "You know." Enough with the puppy eyes. "Don't do that OK." I give in she is too cute to yell at. I go back to the cabin.

"It was Rikku." I tell Yuna as I walk in. Rikku must have woken her.

"You didn't harm her did you?" Yuna asks with worry.

"I would never harm her." I answer.

"That's what Rikku said." She responds.

Wait dose she know? "Oh" I say uncertain what to do next.

"Rikku told me. I'm OK with it. You seam happy." Yuna answers it for me. Thank god it was a good reaction.

I stop holding my breath "Good." I reply.

At the highroad.

Me and Rikku leave the airship and walk out onto the highroad. It was a nice location no wonder Buddy wanted to be here. Typically as soon as my mind wandered fiends attack. One jumps on me knocking me over and digging a claw into my leg. It dies and Rikku appears through the pireflyes. Thank god she's with me that could have really gotten to some serious hurt time. Not that my leg doesn't hurt like hell anyway. I stand back up.

"Thank you. That was close." I thank her.

"Paine what about you leg!" Rikku points to it.

It had just finished bleeding and the pain dies away. "It's the fiend's blood. Look no cut." I point out. There was a cut there but it had healed. It also made a good reason for that excuse to calm Rikku down.

"You worried me." Rikku replied

"Me? It was the fiend." I argued.

"Well you know. I Care." Rikku can say such sweet things sometimes.

"I know." I say and offer her my hand and walk her to the agency.

That blood loss won't help I just hope I can last long enough

We walk in. I stand back and let Rikku do the talking. "Hello." I she says in her usual friendly voice.

I get hit by a sudden wave of hunger. No. Not now. Not near Rikku. Stupid fiend. Please no. This can't keep happening it's too dangerous. Go away. I look back up at Rikku. I can't harm her. Somehow that manages to will it away.

By the time I could focus on reality again Rikku was just about done. "Sure that will be good." She says in a away I could tell she wasn't quite happy with the deal she had got. I bet I could try and cheer her up

We walk back out. "What now?" I ask.

Rikku makes a good suggestion. "We take in the sights. Why not the sun is setting I'm sure that it will be lovely." Perfect I think I might be able to make her feel better. We walk out and along the outcrop in front of the agency. God it is beautiful. "What ya thinking about?" Rikku asks.

"What you said. How beautiful it is." I answer.

Rikku huddles up to me and teases. "Aww you romantic."

I smirk. It not my image but she's right. I look Rikku over the view clearly wasn't the only beautiful thing on this outcrop. "Well looking at you I have good reason to be." She smiles tenderly at my complement. I lean in and kiss her. I was worried about how she would react after last time I pulled away from her. She was just as eager as I was. It was good to kiss her again. blood isn't the only thing I could be starved of. The indulgence of Rikku kiss was enough to make my life perfect, my everlasting life. I pull away to get some air and look at the prettiest girl here again. I couldn't leave her alone. I kiss from her cheek to her shoulder down her smooth flawless skin. We should really get a room. I stop and suggest. "Rikku lets get some privacy." Rikku nods. I take her hand and lead her along the road to the nearest good sized ruin. I lead her inside. I look her over and her beauty glows to me. I start stroking her soft hair. I look into her eye's those hypnotic green swirls. I couldn't help but go back to kissing her again. I was too blinded by the overwhelming passion to notice I was kissing her neck quite a lot. I continue and notice her heartbeat on her neck. It inflames my blood lust. I bite down. It was oh so sweet. It satisfy my hunger and lustings the fulfilment consumes me in its euphoria.

There you go I hoped you liked this chapter and Iwould like you to review it's not necessary but it is good to get some feedback. and reviews make me happy. I still reply to everyone of them.
