Also school is coming up so I'll be busy but I'll try to update when ever I can. Also if you have any ideas or comments please tell me. I'll listen. Well here's the next chapter.

Chap3

"What the hell is going on here?" Someone shouted as the door banged open.

"Vydran" (father) I shouted as I quickly sat up. Bad move I thought to myself. "Ah oww." I said as I clutched my side.

"Rikku be careful. You just re-opened you wound." Gippal said noticing the blood seeping through the shirt I was wearing. "Damn it Cid look what you did."

"What I did? What the hell did I do?"

"You came barging right in here for no reason, scared the living daylights of Rikku and made her re-open her wound" Gippal shouted.

"Well it's a good thing I came in here breaking up whatever it was you two were doing." He shouted back.

"We weren't doing anything, we were sleeping. You know what that is. It's what people do at night." Gippal said his anger quickly rising.

"Then why were you two in the same bad with your arm around her." Cid asked.

Gippal looked over at me and said "Look Cid I'll explain everything later, but right now Rikku needs help. She's still bleeding." He said as he picked me up bridal style and carried me out of the room with out another word to any one.

"Gippal" I said weakly. I had already lost a quit a bit of blood.

"Don't worry I'll find one of my female assistants." He replied looking every where for one.

"No... Gippal... There isn't time. I'm already getting dizzy." I said in a very soft voice.

"Alright. I'll take you to the inn where there won't be anyone to disturb us."

I slowly nodded my head yes. He ran out the door and to the inn.

"Quick I need a room, and medical supplies, and don't let any one in." Gippal said hurriedly.

"Right, this way." He said noticing my condition as he lead Gippal to the closest room. "The supplies are in the bathroom. I'll get them." He returned in a few seconds "Here you go"

"Thanks, now please don't let anyone come into this room. Ok?' Gippal said to the inn keeper.

"Right" He said as he left.

Gippal sat me on the bed and carefully lifted my shirt over my head. I winced in pain.

"I'm sorry Rikku this is going to hurt"

"I...I don't care" I said.

He took a lot of gauze out of the kit, and applied a lot of pressure on my wound to stop the bleeding. I cried out in pain. It took a few minutes to stop the bleeding but he eventually stopped it. He put gauze over it and covered it with a gauzy type rap and medical tape. Then he gently laid me under the covers.

"I'll be right back ok I'm going to get you something to wear." He said when he was done.

"Gippal thank you, but I feel more comfortable in my own clothes. Can you help me change into my Gun Mage dress sphere? Just hold me steady." I said weakly.

"Sure" He replied as he gently picked me up off the bed and stood me on my feet and held me steady as I used my dress sphere.

"Thanks." I said as he put me back under the covers "Can you um get my father. We should explain what's going on"

"Do we have to?"

"Gippal as much as I hate him sometimes he is still my father and he only wants what's best for me. Also because you said you would, and because I can get him to leave us alone."

"How" He asked curiously.

"It's easy. I'm hurt. I'll just play that up a bit, and plead in a very weak voice to accept that we're together and that nothing happened"

He laughed "Alright I'll get him"

A/N so how did you like it. Sorry to end it right here but my arms really hurt. Please R&R
