Chapter 2: Unspoken Feelings

"Tomorrow is the tournament. The two of you should get some rest." And with out another word, Dust walked out of the room. "Man, he's stiff." Renee hits me with a pillow. "But you like him any way!" I throw her a death glare and then check to see if Dust was any near the room to hear her comment. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! Someone up there must care about me. I turned back to Renee. "So what if I like him. It's not like I can have him." I walked over to the window and sat down. "You know that, I know that. Once we beat the game, we go home. So there is no reason to get together with someone if we're going home. Not to mention that that someone might die."

Renee throws another pillow at me. She walks over to the window and stands beside me. "Maybe your right. But we should enjoy the time we have here, than regret it when and if we go home later." She pats me on the back. "Let get some sleep, I want to get up early and see the teams arrive." She went and got into her bed. "You should get some sleep, too. You look tired." And with out another word she rolled over and went to sleep.

I looked at Renee a few more minutes before turning back to the window, knowing that it would be a little while before I would be able to sleep. (A/N: Renee's name is going to be shortened to Ray, Ren, or both. Mo is short Morgan. So if Renee or Dust say Mo blush at thought of Dust calling me by nickname, they are talking to me.)

The last two days have been great. The sight seeing, the shopping. The food! We even got Dust to show us some fighting techniques. But… mental sigh. But I know once the boats arrive with the teams tomorrow, the game really begins. No time for feelings, only not to be returned. No! I have to think about the task at hand and that is keeping me and Ray alive.

"Why feel what can't be returned?

Why go through pain unnoticed?

Why care, when they don't?

Why do we feel?"

I stopped to feel the tears flowing down my checks and then wipe them from eyes.

I don't know that answer.

Only that it is better to feel,

Then not to feel at all.

I stopped. Unable to stop the tears, I put my head in my arms and cried. It felt good to cry, because I never let myself cry. And I never let anyone see me cry. I knew I was alone, besides from Ray sleeping the night away. So, I let myself cry a little bit longer.

(Dust's POV)

"Why feel what can't be returned?

Why go through pain unnoticed?

Why care, when they don't?

Why do we feel?

I don't know that answer.

Only that it is better to feel,

Then not to feel at all."

She cried. I wanted to go to her to comfort her, but I can't. I'm part of the faith, and she is… Well she is special, different. I'm her to protect her, not fall in love with her! She continued to cry a few more minutes and then wiped the tears from her eyes. With a last glance at the night sky, she climbed into bed. From the shadows, I watched her close her eyes and go to sleep. I waited a few moments to make sure both girls were asleep, before leaving the shadows, and went to the window.

"It is better to feel,

Then not to feel at all."

Maybe she is right, but feelings get in the way sometimes. I looked over at Morgan's sleeping form, and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. (A/N: Mo is shorter for Morgan. So you might see Mo here and there, or for now on.) "She doesn't know, what she is yet." I went back to my hiding place. "But sooner or later, she will find out."

"Let's hope it's later." And with that Dust disappeared into the shadows.

(The Next Morning)

After the great sleep I had, I was ready for anything to happen. But I wasn't prepared for the shock. Ray and I were standing in the crowd when the boat arrived. "The game begins." I looked over to Ray. "Don't say that!" Looking back to the boat I found the one of the biggest shocks of my life. As normal Yuna gets off the boat, But Rikku is standing next to her! "By the look on your face, Mo, I'm guessing the blonde shouldn't be here." Ray said trying not to laugh. "Thanks for blunt remark, Ray. And stop laughing!" I turned on Dust next. "Dust, did you about this?" He merely shook his head. Yeah right! HE knows something!

Rikku was wearing almost the same thing that Yuna was wearing, but it was sky blue and it came up to mid thigh. And instead of a big ugly bow, she was wearing a small belt. From my place in the crowd, the belt Rikku was wearing was beaded in black and blue. And the buckle was in the shape of two crossed daggers. (A/N: I actually have a belt like this. I try to put a picture of it up.) Her hair was its regular blonde, it was so blonde it was almost white! Like Draco from Harry Potter white! Her hair is as long as it is in FFX2, but a few inches shorter. "This is going to be one weird pilgrimage." I sighed and did the stupid bow.

A/N: Yeah done. Finally! Sorry it took so long. I rewrote it three times, in lose it, and then I had to rewrite it a fourth time. Dame! Dust's motives are in question here. And what am I? Heck I don't even know, either. Dust has feelings for me and me for him. But we won't say anything, 'because we are to dame stubborn. Will Renee play matchmaker? God, I hope not! Let us do it our selves. Hehe I hope those to don't read this, haha! Rikku was the first shock, but not the last! So please review. The more reviews I get, the faster I write, type, and post! See next time! Bye!
