Chapter 4 – Never let her go

Rikku sat there for a moment, contemplating these new feelings. She heard a noise outside in the corridor and Tidus entered.

"Heya Rikku. What're you thinking about?" Rikku looked up, startled.

"Oh nothing," she replied hastily. "Just wondering where we're going next…"

"The Thunder Plains," informed Tidus. Rikku stared at him in horror.

"The… The Thunder Plains? But… I'm terrified of thunder!"

"Why?" Tidus asked, worried.

"Because when I was a little girl… My brother cast a thunder spell on me by accident…" Rikku flinched and shook violently. "And ever since I've been terrified of thunder." She looked up as she saw a shadow move outside.

"Then I shall protect you." Lulu's voice from the hall made both Tidus and Rikku jump in unison. "Don't be alarmed, you'll never be able to make good guardians with such nervous dispositions." She smirked wryly and Tidus left the room in a huff. Don't mind him," Lulu assured. "He's just annoyed about Yuna's wedding." Rikku looked at Lulu, unable to concentrate on anything else. She was so very beautiful and totally mesmerizing. "So you're scared of thunder? Well I can help you get over that fear." Rikku's cheeks flushed red as she murmured a grateful 'Thank You.'

"It's time to go now," Lulu instructed as she held out her hand for Rikku. Rikku took it nervously and felt her heart skip a beat at the contact.

"Ok," she said resolutely. "Let's go."

The group gathered before the entrance to the Thunder Plains, Rikku nervously holding onto Lulu's dress and whimpering slightly every time she heard a crash. She stared at her hand where there remained a scar from her brother's thunder spell all those years ago. Lulu noticed this and took Rikku off to the side.

"Don't be afraid, I wont let it hurt you again," Lulu took Rikku's hand and kissed the scar. Rikku's heart filled with so much emotion she thought she would explode from the happiness coursing through her body. Lulu smiled as she saw the grin on Rikku's face and took her hand.

"Come on," she instructed. "Let us walk through the thunder together."

xXx

Rikku practically skipped her way through the Thunder Plains, never letting go of Lulu's hand. The pair received a few sceptical glances from other members of the group but Rikku didn't notice or even care. She was too happy. She knew that she had found what she'd always wanted. Someone to protect her and to hold her when she was afraid. She looked up at Lulu, whose normally expressionless mask wielded a new emotion. The corner of her mouth was shaped into what was just about recognisable as a smile. Rikku practically giggled with joy; she had brought out some emotion in the woman and had got closer to her than anyone else could. Just when she was about to break into a hippidy-hoppidy dance of celebration, Wakka spoke.

"Will somebody please tell me what's going on? First Yuna's getting married and now this! Two women can't hold hands like that, it's wrong and you know it." The whole group stopped and was silent. The glare that he received from Lulu then was fierce enough to scare even Sir. Auron into submission. Wakka knew that he had to admit defeat. "Fine. But this isn't over," he warned.

Rikku felt saddened by Wakka's words. How could something that madeher so truly happy, ever be wrong? She felt Lulu give her hand a reassurig squeeze and she looked up. Lulu was smiling at her, and Rikku couldn't help but smile back, as her fears floated away on a silver cloud.

The group remained silent until they reached the inn. At which time Lulu led Rikku into the first bedroom and sat her down on the bed.

"Please don't be angry with him, it's just his way." Rikku was sceptical for a moment. Why was Lulu defending him? But still she nodded in agreement and rested her head on Lulu's shoulder. Lulu slowly raised her hand to stroke Rikku's soft blonde hair, and Rikku purred softly. She had never felt emotion like this before; just a touch from the woman could bring her more happiness than a treasure chest filled of chocolate chip cookies.

"What are you thinking about?" Lulu asked quietly.

"Chocolate chip cookies," Rikku replied with a giggle. Lulu smiled and used her hand to gently raise the younger girls head so that it was facing hers.

"Lulu," Rikku asked tentatively, "Is it right for two women to be together?"

"Be who you want to be," Lulu instructed gently. "If something makes you happy, hold onto it. If it really makes you happy, then you mustn't ever let it go. You deserve happiness Rikku. You really do. You have such a beautiful soul. And such a good heart. I've never met anyone like you in all my life," and Lulu slowly moved towards Rikku, and brushed her lips against hers in a gentle kiss.

Rikku felt a rushing sensation sweep through her entire body, and for a moment she felt as if her feet had left the ground and she was souring through all manner of space and time. She opened her eyes and met the gaze of the beautiful enchantress staring back at her. She was paralysed in a mix of shock and joy, unable to tear her eyes away from the beautiful woman before her and unwilling to let go of her perfectly formed hand.

As she gazed into her hypnotising eyes, Rikku knew she had found what made her happy. And she knew, she would never let her go.
