Wow, another chapter so soon?

Yes.

I have dreams. Dreams of Zidane.


When I woke up, my limbs were entangled around Kuja. He was smiling in his sleep, making me smile. Still feeling tired, I closed my eyes again, realizing that I enjoyed Kuja's touch; the way his tail entangled around mine, the way his arms were draped over my body. It was nice… I felt… Loved… With this wonderful feeling inside of me, I slept peacefully.


Again I woke up feeling tired. It baffled me as to how I'm not feeling awake. I really didn't want to get up and go. I felt something heavy on top of me, and I momentarily panicked. I opened my eyes, and I sighed in relief as it was only Kuja. Gods know how he ended up on top of me.

I looked at his smooth, feminine face, and felt an urge to smooth his feathers, spouting from his forehead.

I felt the urge to cry; but I had no idea why. Minutes later, sobs were erupting from my throat. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I remembered first going to the genome village. Why was this even being brought up? Never mind upsetting me! I remember Garland doing something to me, falling unconscious, waking up weak, and deprived of any emotion... Then I remember rescuing Kuja from the Iifa Tree… I smiled at that.

After my little episode, I noticed Kuja was waking up; I couldn't let him see me like this, crying all over the place!

He opened his eyes, and tears were still streaming out of mine. He gasped and rolled himself off of me.

"Zidane, are you alright! I didn't squish you did I?" He asked desperately.

"N-no Kuja… I just had a bad dream…" I sniffed.

"Are you sure you're alright? You look a bit pale; do you want a glass of water?"

"No, Kuja, I feel ill…"

No. I couldn't be ill. Whenever I got ill, I was out of it for days, sometimes weeks. That's why I only ever got ill rarely. But no! When I'm ill I'm dependent on other people, I was definitely not myself...! I bet that's why I'm so tired... Not to mention I got very, very clingy.

"Here, let me take you to bed…" Kuja said while picking me up.

I smiled as I closed my eyes, snuggling up to Kuja's warm body. I felt on top of the world… Things around me swirled and swooped, colours welcoming me from all different directions.

"Hey… Hey, Kuja… Did you… Ever notice… You have… A tail…?"

I was totally out of it.

"Really? Now, are you sure? Because you have one too…" He said lovingly.

"Oh my goodness, I do…" I said, my tail whipping around below me.

Kuja tried to place me onto his bed, but I clung onto him, unwilling to let go.

"I dun wanna be all on my own…" I muttered.

"I won't leave you all on your own… I'll be sitting right over there..."

I nodded in approval, and let him lay me down on the soft bed. In a matter of minutes, I was asleep again…
