Chapter 6: Rikku in the Mansion

Everything was quiet in the castle until Auron heard a clatter of metal, or Wakka walking. Auron turned and saw Wakka lighting up the fireplace again. Auron decided to confront him.

"Had to let him in, did you?" Auron said. Wakka tried to hop away, but Auron managed to keep up with him.

"Had to serve him some tea, did you?" Auron continued to pester.

"Eh." Wakka mumbled.

"And sit in the Master's chair?!" Auron yelled. Wakka just held up his hands in defense, or his candle-hands.

"I was only tried to show him hospitality, ya." Wakka said. Auron just shook his head. "At least I tried to show what human behavior is left of me. I mean, look at us...look at yourself."

"What about me?" Auron said, sounding annoyed.

"You always were a precarious man. But each day you grow more inflexible." Wakka said and then smirked. "A little...'tightly wound' Oh! A little...'ticked-off' Ha! And a little-"

"Enough!" Auron said, fiddling with his little clock hands on his face.

"At least we aren't as bad as the others." Wakka commented. "You saw what happen to LeBlanc." Auron nodded.

"She was very arrogant about her looks. And that's exactly what she's become." Auron said, folding his little arm handles.

"A vanity." Wakka added.

"Nothing but mirrors and drawers."

"And what about Clasko?" Wakka said, enjoying to gossip. Auron only gave a questioned look.

"Who?"

"Come on, Sir Auron. You remember him. Not to bright, ya?" Wakka said. Auron slowly nodded his head, remembering. "Dumb as..."

"A brick." Auron ended.

"The whole wall."

"Clasko became a brick wall?" Auron asked, just realizing the news.

"He's the one behind the kitchen stove." Wakka added. "And that Yaibel kid?"

"That little boot-licking lad? I never liked him."

"He's a doormat."

"Perfect." Auron said, with a little laugh. Then silence fell.

"It's happening slowly." Wakka said, looking at his candle hands. "Slowly but surely, we become...things, ya."

"Curse that sorceress." Auron grumbled.

"Ya, but aren't we to blame for making Tidus the way he is?"

"I tried to reason him for years. It seems my words never cut to him."

"I just hope the master finds a way to break the spell." Wakka lit his candle hands, only to blow them off. "Soon, I'll melt away into nothing..." He said, sad and blowing the last light out of his hand.

"You have to hang on." Auron said. "You never know when the story will turn in your favor."

At that moment, they heard the door opened. Automatically, Auron and Wakka became stiff still like the objects they were. They heard a voice call out in the dark mansion.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" The voice called. "Hello?" Once the footsteps died away, Wakka whispered to Auron.

"It's a girl?"

"Yes, I can see it's a girl." Auron said, irritated. Only to realized what Wakka meant.

"It's a girl!!" The said at the same time. And they both waddled after her.

In another room, Yuna was minding her own business when she heard Leo dashing from behind her. She turned around to see what the fuss was all about.

"You won't believe what I just saw." Leo said. "Not in a million years, not even all the Game Over songs in all the Final Fantasy games you can sing."

"Alright, Leo. What is it?"

"There's a girl in the mansion!"

"Well, that would be nice, wouldn't it?"

"No, really! I saw her."

"Leo." Yuna said with a stern look. "I won't tolertate this. You don't want people to get there hopes up." Suddenly, Lulu was behind her, looking just as excited as Leo.

"Yuna, did you hear? There's a girl in the mansion." Lulu said. Yuna opened her mouth in shock and Leo smirked.

"See. I told you." Leo walked up to Lulu. "And she's real pretty too." Lulu pursed her lips to a fine line.

"Well, I don't know about that." Lulu said, and swipped away. Yuna and Leo followed.

"This is it!" Wakka said, skipping around in the dungeons. His candle hands were lit. Auron was just paced back and forth. "She has come to break the spell."

"Wakka, you can't be so sure of that."

"I am sure she will." Wakka argued.

Then went back and forth arguing whether or not the girl will break the spell. It became to violent between them, Wakka was poking and shoving Auron with his little candle hands. Auron, who was too small to pick up his katana, tried to push Wakka away. Finally, after a rather ridiculous quarrel, Wakka wrapped his metal arm around Auron to prevent them from hitting.

"We should tell the others, ya?" Wakka said.

"Yes." Auron said, but then shook his head. "No. No! We can't get everyone's hopes up."

"Hello?" Rikku called out again. Auron and Wakka remained still. "Hello?"

"Rikku? Is that you?" Someone called through one of the dungeon cells. Rikku came dashing down the stairs and found the voice.

"Pops!" She cried, and kneeled down to her father. "What's happened? Your hands are cold. Who done this to you?"

"I'm fine, Rikku." Cid said. "You must get out of here. The beast-"

"What?" Rikku said. "I'm not leaving you here."

"Who enters my mansion?!" A loud voice echo in the chambers. Both Rikku and Cid froze.

Rikku turned around, but she couldn't see anything in the dim light from a small candle. She saw a large silhouette of a hunched man. She mustered all her courage.

"Release my father!" She told the man.

"He trespassed my territory." The man growled. "And I will have my prisoner."

"But he's sick and cold. He could die." Rikku pleaded.

"Then he shouldn't have come here!" The man yelled.

"Then...then I'll take his place." Rikku thought fast. There was a pause.

"Rikku, don't do this. I've lived my life already." Cid whispered.

"You...you'd take his place?" The man said, quietly. "You'll be my prisoner?"

Rikku couldn't help but think the man's voice sounded like a growl even in a low voice. He was still in the dark, and she still couldn't make out his face.

"Come..." Rikku muttered, scared. "Come into the light."

Slowly, he walked forth. First, his foot appeared in the light, or rather a hind leg of a beast. Soon, he was in her view and she gasped. The tall beast glared down at her, his eyes blue but monstrous. He had a furry mane, and large yellow teeth jutted out.

"I accept." The beast roared, he dashed past her and unlocked the cell.

"Rikku! Just run!" Cid said, but she was too scared to leave her place.

The beast dragged Cid up the stairs and threw him out the door. He ran back down to the dungeon and he still saw Rikku on the floor, her eyes wet.

"You didn't let me say goodbye." Rikku said. Tidus automatically felt guilty. He looked over at Auron and Wakka, who were still remaining quiet. Tidus grabbed Wakka to spread light.

"I'll show you to your room." Tidus grumbled. Rikku sniffed.

"I'm not staying here?"

"Do you want to?" He asked, irritated.

"No." She said, instantly.

"Then follow me." He said, and lead the way to the upper wing.

I think i'll stop here. the next chapter will have two songs, cuz 'Home' isn't enough for one chapter alone unless i make rikku say every line (maybe it will be enough, i don't know). so i'm also in a ditter in what to call the next chapter...

please tell me what you think
