Chapter 11: Blitzball Brawl

Yuna took Rikku's hand and stood and a smirked formed on her lips and before either of them knew what was happing Yuna had them both pinned down on Paine's bed. Yuna smiled. "You know what Paine despite what others may think you're actually comfy."

Paine shook her head and looked at Yuna from the corner of her eye. "I am huh?" Paine smirked a bit when she saw Brother and Buddy standing at the foot of the bed slacked jawed. "What's the matter boys didn't know I so popular among women?" A chuckle escaped Paine's lips as Yuna and Rikku jumped up. Paine folded her arms behind her head and just smirked at the four people looking at her. "What?"

Yuna recovered quickly speaking quickly. "I'm just really hyper and sorta pounced Paine and Rikku it wasn't what it looked like honest."

Brother looked at his little sister first then at Yuna and lastly at Paine. "Is Yuna sure?"

Paine smirked and got off the bed and draped her arm over Yuna and Rikku's shoulders. "Of course it was what it looked like." Paine winked at Brother. "Sorry man but you just can't beat leather." At first Yuna thought about pulling away but seeing Rikku slide her arm around Paine's waist made her play along too and slide her hand around Paine's waist and turning just enough so her stomach was facing Paine and she slid her other hand up Paine's body slowly resting her hand on the skull that clasped Paine's studded leather closed around her chest placing a soft kiss on Paine's neck. Rikku put her other hand on Paine's shoulder and rested her chin on her hand. Paine smirked. "See."

Buddy smiled a bit. "Damn girl remind me to ask you what your secret is later."

"Then it wouldn't be a secret would it."

Buddy pouted playfully. "Your mean, after all the spears I've found for you guys to claim."

"Well if you put it that way I guess I can tell you but you know if you tell anyone I'll have to kill you." Buddy nodded. "I'll talk to you later about it."

Paine nodded as Buddy and Brother left. The smirk slowing forming back on Paine's lips. "You guys comfy?"

Yuna smiled and bit Paine's neck softly causing the taller girl to moan softly. "Perfectly."

Rikku blushed softly hearing Paine moan and kissed her neck softly. "Yea I am thank you."

Paine smiled and shook her head. "So what do you suggest we do? I mean other then hang on me."

Yuna whispered in Paine's ear. "How bout we do you then?"

Paine's eyes got wide as she spoke softly. "Yuna…"

Rikku looked at her cousin and let go of Paine and drug Yuna off to the side. "Yunie whats gotten into you?" Yuna shrugged. "Don't shrug at me what are you doing? You've been acting weird lately and in all honesty now whats going on between you and Paine? I mean that was a pretty turned on moan she uttered."

Yuna blushed. "Honestly Rikku me and Paine did talk about it in Luca and have decided to give it a try."

Rikku began to bounce a little. "So I see you guys are a thing now cool. Maybe now she won't be such a party pooper."

"45 Rikku."

"Damn it! Awwww come on Paine I was just joking around please don't take any respect points away please!" Rikku whined and looked at Paine with pleading green eyes.

Paine sighed. "I suppose you could earn them back."

"How! HOW! Name it I'll do it." Rikku pouted looking at Paine.

"I'll let you know when I think of something." Rikku face faulted and growled at Paine. "Don't growl or I won't let you earn them back." Rikku nodded and sat on the bed.

Yuna sat down next to her cousin and looked up at Paine. Standing quickly Yuna smiled "I got it! How bout we go play in the blitzball tournament."

Paine shrugged her shoulders. "Up to you guys, I could go for a game."

Yuna ran to the bridge and talked to Brother, Buddy and Shinra, and finally after all of Yuna's begging they agreed. The Gullwings signed up and walking to the stadium they ran into Wakka and the Besaide Auroks. While they were talking a guy from the Luca Goers walked past nudging Yuna hard knocking her forward into Wakka. Paine growled. "He's getting hurt excuse me." Paine walked off before anyone could stop her. She caught up and whistled and the guy turned around. "You think your tough pushing the high summoner? Why not pushing me?"

The guy smirked. "What you think you can take me? Fine girly lets see what you got." The guy ran towards Paine and swung hard.

Paine smirked and easily dodged his swing and knocking him down with a well placed sweeper kick. "Looks like I got more then you do punk."

The guy had fallen flat on his face and looked up at Paine. "We'll finish this on the court. Just try and stay outta my way."

Paine smirked. "I look forward to it." Paine winked at them as she walked away.

The other guy got up slowly and shook his head. His team mate walked over by him. "You pushed the high summoner? What the hell is the matter with you? This is her calm man if it wasn't for her Sin would be still attacking."

Paine walked back over by her teammates and friends and folded her arms across her chest and looked at Yuna. "You ok?"

Yuna looked at Paine and smiled a little then nodded. "Yea I'm ok."

Paine nodded. "Good lets go play huh?"

The games went on and finally the last game was the Goers vs. the Gullwings Paine scanned the field and saw the guy she fought with earlier was the center. She swam up to Yuna and told her she'd take center that game and why and Yuna nodded and took Paine's place on defense. Rikku was the other defender. Paine swam up to Rikku. "You still wanna earn those points back?" Rikku nodded. "Ok see the Goers center?" Rikku nodded again. "Well he's the one who shoved Yuna and well he's got it in for me just make sure nothing happens to Yuna ok." Rikku nodded. "Ok if you do a good job there's 5 extra points in it for ya."

Rikku nodded. "You can count on me Paine."

"Good." Paine nodded and swam back to the center. This could be a painful game for me Paine kept an emotionless look on her face as the whistle blew and her and the guy both jumped for the ball. Paine got it easily and just as she went to pass the guy hit her hard in the ribs. Paine growled as he took the ball. He went to pass and it was Paine and Buddy on the block. He dodged Buddy's block but Paine was close behind Buddy and he had no time to react the heal of Paine's boot hit him right in the face. Paine took the ball from him and passed it to Buddy who turned around and scored. Yuna looked at Paine as she swam back to the center worry showing in her eyes. Paine nodded to her and offered her a faint smile. Yuna nodded back and Paine winked at her and took her position in the center. This time before Paine ever got a hand on the ball the guy charged her hitting her harder then before. The referee called it as an illegal play and called Paine an injured player. Paine shook her head. "I'm ok I can play." The referee nodded and it was the guys turn to growl. He took the ball and charged towards the Gullwings goal he easily took Rikku out and before he could charge Yuna he was hit from behind by Paine. The blow had stunned him long enough for Yuna to pass Paine the ball. Paine whistled again and taunted the guy before passing the ball. The game went on like this till the game was tied at 6. Paine took her position and growled and then as she jumped for the blitzball she tightened every muscle in her body and braced for the blow she knew was coming. The guy's knee hit Paine square in the face knocking her back. Paine shook her head a few times to clear her vision. When it was clear again she saw him charging at Yuna once again. Paine whistled and the guy looked at her from the corner of his eye. Rikku blocked him nice hitting him in the shoulder hard. Paine swam up behind him and hit him just right where the blow knocked him out. She took the ball and winked at Yuna. "Watch this." Paine turned and shot from where she was at and as the clock was counting down the ball hit the goal. The guy came to and saw everyone leaving the court. Once back by the locker rooms the Gullwings were all talking and Lulu was making sure Paine was ok.

The Goers past and the guy saw Paine leaning against the wall. "This ain't over girly."

Paine stood straight and looked at the guy and flipped her hair. "Bring it punk." As the guy charged her he pulled out a small dagger. Paine smirked and just as he got there she drew her sword and blocked his dagger and pushed him to the ground and rested the point of her sword at the guy's throat.

Yuna ran over and pleaded with Paine. "Paine please don't do this."

Paine glared at the guy and growled. "You're lucky we have bigger fish to fry." She made a slight movement and cut him before walking away.

Lulu hissed. "You don't mess with the High Summoner in front of her guardians and get away with it." Lulu tossed a low level fire ball at him and walked off as he attempted to dodge it.
