Chapter 5

On the airship

Aaron was awake, sore, but awake and just as he was starting to sit up he heard a voice… "Aaron you're finally awake!" Yuna shouted as she wrapped Aaron in a hug.

"Yeah I'm awake and you're hurting me Yuna." Aaron said, prying Yuna from his neck to look at his bandaged gunshot wound.

"It's just nice to see you up, Aaron! How are you?" Yuna asked her voice full of concern.

"I'm a little sore, I guess and upset that I lost Rikku "Aaron answered, regretfully.

"Aaron I'm sorry… Paine told us about Gippal and Rikku… well you must be happy about what happened?" Yuna said.

"What happened that I can be happy about? I was shot! and Rikku was taken from me in front of my eyes!" Aaron snapped back.

"Oops, Aaron I forgot you don't know what happened." Yuna squeaked, gleefully.

"What happened, Yuna? " Aaron asked, although in the back of his mind he was afraid of the answer.

"Well a lot of things happened when you… were out of it… I got a new dress…Rikku was released and left you a sphere… Paine got a date with Nooj!" Yuna said happily.

"RIKKU WAS WHAT ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Aaron burst out angrily.

"She was freed and left you a sphere to explain something and then she left…" Yuna said nervously.

"Where is she? When did she leave and where's this sphere?!" Aaron asked, panic thick in his voice.

"She didn't say and here's your sphere." Yuna said calmer than earlier and passed him the sphere from Rikku. "I haven't looked at it yet and she was crying when she handed it to me so please don't kill the messenger!!!" Yuna said, perfectly calm now. Aaron turned the sphere on and watched.

Hi Aaron, if Yuna gave you this then she did what I asked when I gave her this. Sorry I couldn't give to you myself but, If I did, you might kill me. I made this to tell you that I'm leaving you… for your father…"Rikku said coolly. "While I was being held prisoner by Gippal, Auron came and killed him and let me out, he told me how you gave up looking for me and I realised that, even though, he left Auron never gave up on me." Rikku sighed. "I spent weeks hoping that you would come for me and when you finally did it got my hopes up, but, when Gippal shot you it nearly killed me… then he came back. He told me how he much he still loved me and I realised I loved him even more than when we first met and he took me home to get my things, so we could leave. We're getting a house together far away from Yuna, Tidus and all the others…" Rikku said serenely, like this wasn't some sick joke. "Your dad wants to say something so here he is…" Rikku said before passing the sphere to Auron

"See you soon little man!" Auron smiled viscously and he passed the sphere to Rikku again.

"Aaron I'm sorry, I don't love you… goodbye…" Rikku said, her voice breaking as she turned off the sphere.

Aarons eyes stung with the tears he was holding back from learning how his father had taken the one person in his life worth loving and had made her want to keep away from him and her best friends. When Aaron took in to account all the good times he and Rikku had had together he couldn't see how seeing his father one time could make her want to throw all that away and go live with him.

"So ,what did Rikku say in the sphere Aaron? " Yuna asked quietly. Having lost his voice in his sadness Aaron simply passed her the sphere and went back to sleep. Yuna watched the sphere horrified at the happy look on Aurons face as he viciously muttered the words that made Aaron want to rip him limb from limb and when Yuna got a hold of Rikku, she would kill her for breaking Aarons heart like that, over someone who was old enough to be her father. Yuna looked over at Aaron and saw tears on face even though he was asleep. "We'll find her Aaron, I promise you we'll find her for you…" Yuna whispered to Aarons ear, "We will find her!" Yuna said walking out of the cabin to get ready for the hunt for Rikku and Auron and thinking about whether or nor she could fulfil her promise to Aaron. "We will find her" Yuna thought finally and nodded decisively to herself ."The hunt is on Auron,, I'll find you!"
