Love lies bleeding

Its Paine part 6.

Disclaimer: I do not own final fantasy x-2 rights.

Recommended music: Kiss the bride by Elton John. it fits so well with certain bits of this chapter.

'What the hell just happened?' I think Rikku just fed from Yuna. "Shit."

'Oh no. That's was what I thought happened.' She's still talking to someone is Yuna alive?

'Rikku what's Yuna like?' I had to ask no matter how mad Rikku was acting.

'Stop talking to me!... What did you do to me?!' She Ask's

'I saved you. You were going to die. Now tell me what Yuna is like?' I ask her.

'I bit her she's bleeding heavily from the neck.' She replies finally a good piece of conversation.

'Make sure she stays conches don't worry I'm going to fix this.' I might be able to save Yuna.

I jump and land again. Fuck how did Verona do it? I just need to float upwards. I look down and see I have left the floor oh just concentrate on where I want to go. Upwards. I fly upwards and aim at the speck that must be the Celsius. I learn that flying was pretty simple just concentrate in the general direction I want to go in. Within in a minuet or so I land on the deck of the Celsius. "Well that was weird." I utter to myself. I walk through the door and take the lift to the cabin. It descends and I get Rikku for a greeting.

"Paine?" Rikku questions me when the lift arrives at the cabin.

"Rikku." I reply to her to prove I am real.

"How?" She questions me being there. Me? What about Yuna? I don't have the time to explain.

"Don't worry we have bigger problems." I say calmly walking in to the cabin. I see Yuna pass out on the far side of the cabin. Her blood spills from her neck and over the floor.

"Yunie!" Rikku yells fearfully seeing her fall. "Paine help her." Rikku begs.

"Very well." I reply. I walk over the cabin to Yuna. Picking her up I have a second thought. Would vampirism really be good for Yuna? I still can't tell whether Rikku became my kind or the old kind of vampire she attacked Yuna. Then again she was hungry and didn't take her to death. Mainly because of a poor bite. I'm still not sure. I need a second opinion but there is no time. "Are you sure she won't be able to go back." I ask Rikku.

"What do you mean?" Rikku questions.

I don't quite know how to explain it I never wanted to talk about changing people it reminds me of the old times. "Like with you I will have to make her a vampire to save her life or she will die." I explain to her.

"Better than letting her die." Rikku's right. Thank god I will be there for her at least the girls won't be alone. We will all be together. I nod to Rikku to show her I agree with her.

I lift up Yuna to her neck where Rikku had made a poor bite to Yuna and thankfully missing the artery. My fangs extend as I close in on Yuna's neck. Biting in I hit her artery and her heart is going at a million miles an hour. Her blood taste oddly salty. I assume it to be the poisons from Rikku's first bite. With the blood I have I return it to Yuna's body. Her heart rate starts to slow so I pull away from her. With her still in my arms I carry her up to her bed and lay her down on it. Right now she needs sleep.

"Thank you Paine." I hear Rikku behind me.

This is my fault. Thanks is the last thing I need. "I'm not worth thanking." I reply.

"You saved me and Yunie. Sure your worth thanking." Rikku tries to cheer me up

"I killed half the crew." I try to get the point across.

"And I can understand now. I nearly killed Yunie I lost control of myself and I think you did too." Rikku still tries to justify what I did.

It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't joined. "I shouldn't have joined." I continue to argue.

"No the gullwings needs you to be the balance to our attitudes. And besides I need you." Rikku still wants me?

"You still care for me?" I ask encase I got this wrong.

"Well Before was bought on by fear but my love was still there. I kept dreaming of being with you." She was dreaming of me? What about the nightmares?

Paine smiles at me. "Well now you know what I am I need to be honest and we should probably start agai…" I get a mouthful of Rikku. Or not. I mentally finish my sentence. She dose love me. I never stopped loving her. I feel free to push the kiss further. When kissing her she acted in surprise to notice me wanting to go further, but she let me. It had been near forever since I had kissed a girl like that it brought back memories of love from the past and hope for the future. Rikku's fangs were tickling my tongue and soon she was tickling mine. We stepped back from one another.

"So that's why you wouldn't let me kiss you." Rikku points out. I couldn't stop smiling it was nice to be able to openly smile. "Or smile to me."

2 Days later.

Yuna was finally waking up. "Yuna." I call to her. She turns to me.

"Paine?" Yuna questioned me being there. Now would be confusing for Yuna I pay attention to her thoughts 'I thought I had shot her?'

"Yeah well those bullet's hurt." I answer her.

"Huh?" Yuna looks at me confused. 'How could she have known that?'

I think I need to explain what's going on to her. "It's complicated. Yuna you very nearly died two days ago. To save you I had to change you. Like I had to save Rikku. There was no other way I asked Rikku first and she let me so I did it." 'Did what?' Yuna was still confused. I hate talking about it but I go on. "I had to make you a vampire. I wouldn't have done it if there was any other option. It will take a bit of getting used to but look on the bright side you will live forever." Yuna seems to start to understand.

"So I look like you and Rikku now and have to feed from people." Yuna questions. 'I don't ever want to feed from people.' She was worried.

I answer her. "Yes you do look like me and Rikku now but luckily you don't have to feed from people. So long as I am around." Trouble is you have to feed from me. 'What but Rikku wanted my blood?' Yuna mentally questions. "I wasn't around. I did try to get through to her desperately but she became scared and hungry and couldn't control herself." 'That's why I now have to live like this.' Thankfully Yuna is good at understanding weird and awkward situations. "You do still need to feed though but you can feed from me. Having changed you my blood can supplement you." I think yuna's figured out I can hear her thoughts. 'What about you?' "I still have to feed from people but I can't change that."

"Thank you Paine." Why dose everyone want to thank me?

Buddy and Shinra's funeral.

Three girls standing on the high road. All have silver hair red eyes and pale skin.

"I'm Sorry." The technically eldest says.

Afterwards. Walking back to the airship.

"What now?" Rikku asks.

"Stop stealing my material you're not becoming me." I joke.

"Well where did we leave off." Yuna asks.

"Lulu had her baby and Vegnagun is the next world threat." Rikku explains to Yuna.

"Well let's do Vegnagun first it should be a breeze with invincibility." Yuna says feeling confident.

"Don't take that for granted." I cut in.

"Yeah Okay. And if we do it will give us time to think how to explain all this to our friends." Yuna comes back with her plan.

"I chose to keep my vampirism a secret from my friends." I advise.

"And look where that got you. You nearly killed them all." Yuna returns.

"I'm just saying." I try to continue.

"What are you my mentor?" Yuna questions.

"Kind of." I answer.
