Well here's Chapter 13! Hope you all enjoy!! Leave plenty of reviews!
Glancing at her cell phone, Rikku had become aware that Yuna was no longer at school. It was a Monday, and she had early release on Mondays and Friday; the perks of being a senior. Making a u-turn at the next light she headed back towards home. However traffic was crazy, there had been an accident ahead so she decided to take the back roads. Her stomach was in knots, her palms began to perspire. What if Yuna already knew, she thought? Taking deep breaths she analyzed the situation very closely as to how to go about telling her. She needed to know.
Pulling into the parking garage Yuna's car was still gone. Calmly reassuring herself that she must be still in that traffic, or stopped at the mall before going home. Unlocking the door she stepped in. Taking a seat in the lounge she dialed Lulu's cell. After several rings she hung up. Lulu was obviously busy. Rikku couldn't help but believe most of this was her fault. The idea to Kilika, the plan for Shuyin, neither of them had been Yuna's ideas…actually none of them were. What made Rikku feel even guiltier was watching how bad Yuna wanted Tidus back, and she was determined to get him back for her… but now that wasn't going to happen…and this time she must take responsibility to tell her. Jumping, Rikku was startled by her cell phone ringing. Digging back into her purse she pulled out. Lulu was calling her back. Happy to talk somebody she quickly answered.
"Hey Lulu, I just called you." Laughing she answered.
"You mean like fifty times—"It was only once okay!" Both girls laughed, but Rikku fell short. Remembering her reasons for calling she was consumed with silence.
"Hey Rikku…you there?" Nodding she answered, "Yeah…hey Lu…um…the reason I called—"Is everything okay?"
"No…it's not okay." The abruptness of her voice worried Lulu. Pushing the phone harder against her ear to hear what she thought were whispers.
"Yuna…Yuna might be in trouble. It's about Tidus…" A cold air shifted through Lulu's spine, "What's happened?" Interrupting their conversation the doorbell rang. Startled Rikku looked to the door. It was locked it may be Yuna. Returning to the phone she quickly replied, "Hey Lu, I think that's Yuna. I 'll call you back alrighty." Something wasn't right. Lulu had never heard Rikku speak in that tone. Something had happened. With the click of the phone came silence. Placing the cell phone down on the counter she took her seat on the couch. Taking the remote control she turned on the television.
"WBV TV Channel 2 Live…not even an hour ago today a deadly car crashed occurred. There are no reports as to the wellbeing of the two young victims that were going at least 70 miles per hour through this red light. We have gotten two pictures from the near by school in which they attended. Yuna of the prestigious Braska family and Shuyin Komato. Both are being transferred to the Bevelle Hospital at this time—."
Turning the T.V. off Lulu attempted to stand. Losing her balance she screamed. Begging the heavens above that it not be true…it couldn't be true. Reaching out to the television as if to be there her hand met plastic glass. Crawling on her knees, touching only black, empty glass. Tears now surfaced through her eyes. Screaming, her hand consumed itself into a ball of hot firaga. The immense heat, throwing it across the room she struck Lenne and Yuna's photo shot from the mall. That was when they were inseparable…but all that had changed. Taking a breath of steam she stood. Her eyes narrowed onto the picture, Lenne's head engulfed in flames. Turning back to her cell phone, her face softened. Rikku? In but a whisper…her voice shaking with fear.
"It's not Yuna Rikku…what…what have we done?"
Only moments earlier
Hanging up the phone to Lulu, Rikku jetted toward the door, unlocking both bolts. Opening the door she smiled to be greeted by her cousin, but instead two Yevonite soldiers stood.
"Is this the Braskan estate?" Nodding Rikku seemed confused, "Yes it's my uncles."
Clearing their throats they looked to one another.
"Is he home? We must speak to him." Shaking her head she replied, "No he is in Luca on business wont be home for another week. Is something wrong?" Taking a breath the soldier found it difficult to say.
"His daughter was just involved in a vehicle accident; we needed him or one of her family members to sign some papers at the hospital." Shaking she fell to her knees, both soldiers quickly moved forward to help her, holding her up. What was this pain? She found no words to speak, how did it happen. She needed to be by her cousins side.
"Mam, are you okay?" Her eyes glazed with tears, looking forward, her face stained now with tears, but she made no sound, as if in a trance she asked, "Is she…dead?" Shaking their heads they replied, "No, but she is very badly injured, we need you to come with us—"What about the other…Shuyin…is he going to be okay too?" A slight pause came; helping her into the car Rikku barely grasped his words. They seemed to slip through his lips easily, hammering their way into her ears.
"He was pronounced dead earlier at the scene…he was killed instantly upon impact."
