Pairing: Rikku x Saïx

Warning: Within this story you will find complete and utter craziness, mild cursing, broken English due to Brother, and some character bashing.

Summary: Rikku and Brother take out Cid's ship without asking, but surprisingly everything is going fine—well that is until a stranger in black shows up.

Brother grinned, "Rana fa ku!" (Here we go!)

Brother hits another button and the ship took off through the through the sky. He glanced over his shoulder to see Rikku race over to a window, gawking out it at the passing scenery. He couldn't help but smile at the happy aura surrounding his young sibling. With that thought, he turned his attention ahead to control the ship better.

"It's so pretty," she whispers as she watches everything pass by them. She honestly couldn't really remember the things she wanted to do now, things just seemed so peaceful. Her spiral orbs watched the white puffy clouds ease by the ship's window, and could just imagine what top side felt like. The warm spring air whipping past her cheeks, it would probably be like heaven up there. "Brother?"

"Yeah," he replied with a slight glance.

She adds with a smile, "I'm going up topside! I wanna—"

"Go."

She rolled her eyes at her seemingly uncaring brother, before starting to move about the ship—readying herself for heading up. Though she didn't make it, hearing a noise from the back of the ship caused her to stop. She eyed the doorway for a moment before glancing over her shoulder at her sibling. "Did you hear that?"

"Rayn fryd?" (Hear what?) Brother paused and glanced back at his curious sibling. He honestly didn't hear a damn thing, but he couldn't help other then being curious. "Rikku?"

Rikku shrugged, "Hajan seht." (Never mind.)

Brother didn't press the subject any farther, not wanting to cause the girl to go into one of her whiney fits. Though he noticed his sister eying up the door once more, one of his eyebrows soon arched. Maybe she was just going insane, after all, she did act a little odd when he arrived at the ship. Nonetheless, he chose to ignore her and turn his attention back to the controls.

Rikku, ignoring the feeling of her brother watching her, moved over to the door in which the noise came from. She typed in the code to open the door, which reacted in a positive manner, and stepped into the back. As soon as she stopped inside, the door closed behind her which spooked her slightly.

"Whoa."

She eyed the door for a moment, and rolled her eyes a bit. She was loosing her normal attitude, which was odd due to the fact a door scared her. The girl who—helped—save Spira twice, was just now, scared by a stupid door. It was embarrassing for her, but thankfully no one seemed to be around.

Nonetheless, she shook off the embarrassment and began to search for what could have caused the noise. Her eyes scanned about for a moment, before moving through the area and moving things around. She came up empty handed on her search, which made that uneasy feeling from before return. And that's when she heard it—

A dark chuckle. Brother shouting her name. Foot steps.

Rikku panicked and turned to the door, typing in the code quickly. The doors refused to open, the code denied. Her stomach turned as she tried it again, only to be denied yet again. Her breathing became heavy as she tried yet again, only to fail. Her spiral orbs widened as she typed once more, the little screen read 'loading'.

The door opened and she zoomed through it. Despite her panic, she eyed the area with concern. Everything seemed to be fine, and Brother was even looking at her funny. She mentally cursed herself, wondering what could possibly be up with her—Brother was wondering the same thing. He had never seen Rikku so panicked before.

"Did you call for me," Rikku questioned.

He shook his head. "Hu." (No.)

"Oh…"

"Syopa fa cruimt dinh ynuiht?" (Maybe we should turn around?)

Rikku shook her head 'no' at Brother, moving over to the controls. She eyed them for a moment, causing Brother to give her another look of annoyance. It was a relief that he didn't push it any farther, if he had known the truth, he probably would have turned around. But then again, maybe that wasn't so bad of an idea.

"Rikku," Brother questioned as he eyed up his sister. "Frana yna fa kuehk?" (Where are we going?)

She grinned sheepishly, "I dunno."

"Fryd?!" (What?!) Brother shouted and turned his head completely to her, "Teth'd oui bmyh drec uid pavuna ryht?!" (Didn't you plan this out before hand?!)

She rolled her eyes, "Oh shut up! You know you love flying this thing, so just do that. We'll just fly around for a little while!"

Brother glared at her before turning his attention ahead, mumbling curses under his breath. Something about how he should turn the ship around before he kicked his 'damn sister' out of it. Rikku only rolled her eyes at him before choosing to ignore the loud mouth she called a brother. She didn't really want to fight with him, after all, she still had that odd feeling in her stomach.

She turned on her heels to move to one of the windows, to check out the view of course, but stopped soon after. She had noticed something out of the corner of her eye, something that she had never seen before. She turned to the twirling black object, which in some odd way looked like a portal of sorts, that rested on the wall. Matter of fact, it was right next to the door she just came out of.

She questioned, "Brother?"

"Yeah," he replied without looking at her.

She questions, "Umm… fryd'c dryd?" (What's that?)

"Fryd'c fryd?"

He didn't turn to his sister, well at least, until he heard a shriek from his younger sibling. His body turned instantly at the sound, his spiral orbs fall on a rather spooky scene before narrowing. There was a cloaked being standing in front of an odd twirling darkness on the wall. In front of the cloaked being was his little sister, her tanned face pale and frightened.

He shouted, "Fryd ec drec?" (What is this?!)

"I don't know," She shrieks. Her eyes move to her brother while backing up a bit, a chuckle escaping the cloaked figure. She could feel her heart beat speed up in fear. Was this the guy that was outside of the ship? "WHO ARE YOU?!"

"Who am I?" The figure mocked, "That's none of your concern, little girl."

Brother snaps, "Who are oui?!"

"Brother," Rikku whispers before reaching for a weapon. "Keep an eye on the controls."

The figure smirked, "It wouldn't matter if he did…"

"What do you mean?" Just as she spoke, the ship began to rock. A sling of curses escaped her brother, Rikku turned to him and raced to his side—forgetting about the figure for a moment. "What's going on?!"

Brother answers harshly, "Dra laudanum yna hud fungehk!" (The controls are not working!)

She turns to the figure; "What did you do?!"

"Be a good girl, it will all make sense soon enough." With a smirk, the figure stepped back into the portal and disappeared. Rikku raced towards it but it had disappeared before she could get to it. She turned quickly as she heard Brother's shouting, the ship rocking more harshly.

She questions, "What's—"

He broke in, "CRASH!"

She shrieks, "What?!"

"Fa'na kuehk du lnycr!" (We're going to crash!)

"No! We can't!"

Just as she finished speaking, the ship gave another harsh rock, knocking the youngest Al Bhed off her feet. She fell backwards, smacking her head against the wall roughly. Her vision began to fade, but she tried to focus on her screaming brother. She couldn't. Soon her entire world went black; the last thing she heard was her brother screaming her name.

A/N: Not the best chapter, but things are going to get good soon. I promise. Reviews?
