Chapter Twelve: The Gloved Hand
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
�A
diamond?!� Rikku squeaked after hearing Yuna�s quick tale about finding the diamond on the
floor. The Al Bhed had arrived back at Home
just in time to have a quiet conversation with Paine and Yuna
about the diamond ring before Yuna and Tidus went off on a romantic birthday celebration.
�Do
you think it means what I think it means?� questioned Yuna,
barely able to keep her voice down. Tidus could
enter the room at any minute, after finishing the shower he had wanted to take
at the last minute.
�It
definitely means something,� said Paine, �Whether that something is good or not
has yet to be determined.�
Yuna frowned at her stoic friend, �What does that mean?�
�It
means that I don�t think you should be alone with Tidus
tonight.�
�Paine!�
Rikku hissed, �We both agreed that was ridiculous!�
Yuna was confused. Obviously both of her friends knew something
they didn�t want her to know. It was also pretty obvious that Rikku was hiding something from both herself and Paine, but
she wasn�t about to delve into that at the moment. The pressing matter
was why Paine didn�t want her alone with Tidus, �Why
don�t you want me alone with him? He�s my boyfriend.�
Paine
frowned at Rikku, ignoring Yuna
momentarily, �I know I said it was ridiculous, but now I�m not so sure. I
mean, what if Gippal is onto something��
�Gippal�onto something?� Yuna
asked with a suspicious look in her eyes, �Just what did Gippal
say?�
Rikku pushed a braid from her eyes, �He said that the killer set him up
using the belt and a pair of gloves so that Gippal
and Baralai�s prints were safe, but the killer�s
weren�t on the belt. He also said that since the window was a little open
the killer could have easily slid down the side of the ship and gotten back
outside.�
Yuna was almost afraid of the answer to the question that was on the
tip of her tongue, but somehow she just had to know what Paine was
thinking. Staring deep into Paine�s crimson orbs, she asked, �What does
this have to do with Tidus?�
�Gippal�and now me, to a degree, thinks he might have killed
Baralai.�
�What?!�
Yuna shrieked, before quickly silencing herself to a
harsh whisper, �Where do you get that from?! Tidus
had never hurt a soul in his life! He�s harmless...! He�s
sweet�! He�s innocent�! He�s�.�
�Been
acting strangely.� Paine supplied.
�Oh,�
hissed Yuna sarcastically, �Well in that case let�s
just have him arrested and thrown in jail. I mean, everybody knows if you
have an off day or two then you�re a murderer!�
�He
was hearing voices!� insisted Paine, �He was MIA during the time! He
wears gloves! You said yourself he�s been acting like Shuyin!�
Yuna stood up and pointed a furious finger in Paine�s face, �Don�t
ever say that again. I don�t ever want hear this ridiculous theory of
yours ever again. Gippal is right where he
belongs for killing Baralai and I hope he rots there!�
she shouted before storming out of the room and down the hall toward the
bathroom where Tidus was showering.
The
faster they got to Macalania, the better, and Yuna wanted to get there fast.
--------------------.
Shuyin hadn�t been at Macalania since his date
with Lenne over 1000 years before. It was
strange for him to think in terms like that, but it was the truth. That
was how long it had been. He was shocked to see how much the woods had
deteriorated since then.
�These
woods are dying.� Yuna explained, �When the fayth disappeared, the forest began to do the same.
Soon it�ll be gone, but I thought we�d spend the day here anyway.�
Shuyin wasn�t thrilled about the thought. Since his argument with Lenne, the thought of spending time in any place that
reminded him of her didn�t make him happy. For some reason, though, Yuna seemed to really like the spot by the lake. It
was almost as if it held the same memories for her as it did for Shuyin.
�It does��
Shit.
Tidus was awake again and this wasn�t the place for Shuyin to be having a long conversation with him so he
remained silent and tried to force Tidus to sleep
again.
�Not so fast, Shuyin,� Tidus said, laughingly, �Don�t you want to spend some quality time
with me?�
Shuyin continued to ignore Tidus as he took a
seat on the blanket that Yuna had laid out for the
two of them. It was similar to the picnic he�d had with Lenne, except that there wasn�t any food. He was
grateful for that tiny dissimilarity.
�Better hope she doesn�t ask you about our memories at this
place,� Tidus taunted, �Cause I�m not gonna help you answer them right and you don�t have any
clue what the answers might be.�
�I
love this place,� whispered Yuna as she laid her head
against his chest, �I used to come here as often as I could during those two
years. It always made me feel close to you.� She smiled up at him and her
eyes gleamed, �I still can�t believe we did that.�
Shuyin smiled stupidly, �Yeah, me neither.� He said, though he had no
idea what she was talking about.
�Can
you describe the Zanarkand sunrise to me again?� Yuna asked as she gazed out at the water lapping gently at
the bark on the tree in the middle.
�Busted�� Tidus said, jokingly, but Shuyin just grinned. Tidus
obviously didn�t have all of his memories yet, or he�d know that Shuyin knew that sunset like the back of his hand.
Taking
a breath and gently placing a kiss on Yuna�s head, he
whispered softly, �The city lights go out one by one. The stars fade...then the
horizon glows, almost like it's on fire. It's kinda
rose-colored, right? First in the sea, then it spreads to the sky, then to the
whole city. It gets brighter and brighter, till everything glows."
�How the hell did you know that? How did you know exactly
what I told her?!�
�Wow,
that�s exactly how you described it to me back then.� Yuna
said with a smile, turning around to kneel in front of him, �It makes me feel
like we�ve gone back in time, except that I haven�t just married an unsent and
neither of us is going to die.�
Shuyin laughed at the angry groan that Tidus
emitted in his head as well as at the absurdity of the sentence Yuna had just uttered. He didn�t really know what she
was talking about, but he was enjoying the sparkle in her eyes as she said it.
�I
love you, Tidus.�
�I love you too�� Tidus
whispered at the same time Shuyin said it and he felt
a small flicker of guilt. He was keeping Tidus
from the girl he loved just like fate had kept Shuyin
from Lenne. However, when Shuyin
looked into Yuna�s loving eyes, he felt something
instead of just anger and hopelessness. He didn�t want to give that
feeling up. He wanted to hang onto it with all of his power and see where
it took him�and if Yuna was in that picture.
Yuna pressed her lips to his first and Shuyin
let himself get swept up in it. He knew Tidus
was still fully aware of what was going on, but Shuyin
quickly gave up caring about that as Yuna�s hands
traveled lower on his body in an ever present quest for his belt.
�How can you do this? What about Lenne?�
What
about Lenne? Shuyin
frowned a little at the thought of her and the argument they had at the
ship. He had started this plan to get her back but now she wasn�t the
main focus of his plans anymore. He wasn�t even sure what his plans were,
but at the realization that Yuna�s hands were now
inside of his pants, he forgot about that issue.
Her
ministrations brought deep moans from Shuyin and a
furious shout from Tidus, �You�re using her and
she�s going to figure it out! She�s not stupid, Shuyin!
You can�t fool her forever!�
�Shut-up,
Tidus.� He muttered before sucking in his breath in a
shocked gasp. Yuna�s hands stopped and she
pulled them back. Shuyin propped himself up on
his arms, trying to remain as calm as possible under Yuna�s
probing stare, �What�s the matter, babe?� he asked, nonchalantly.
Her
duel-colored eyes stared deeply into his and Shuyin
felt a chill go down his spine at the lack of emotion he saw there.
Wait�there was emotion in those cerulean depths.
Fear.
�Why
are you referring to yourself in the third person?� she asked, a quiver in her
voice.
Shuyin didn�t know what to say. One wrong answer could clue her in
and then he might have to�
He
didn�t want to think about it.
Giving
her a smile, he replied, �I was just thinking about stuff and told myself to
shut-up and enjoy what you were doing to me. That�s all.�
Yuna tried to relax but something was keeping her from doing
that. Maybe it was the way that he answered her with such ease.
Maybe it was fact that something had seemed a little off about him for a while
now but she just couldn�t figure out what. He sat up farther and gently
ran a hand over her cheek, an act that normally made her skin tingle with
desire but tonight made it tingle with fear.
He
was wearing leather gloves�
�He was hearing voices! He was MIA during the time! He
wears gloves! You said yourself he�s been acting like Shuyin!�
Paine�s
words echoed in her ears over and over and over again like a mantra. He was
missing that day with no explanation then or now as to where he had been.
His suspicious behavior with the ring only heightened her concerns. Was
that really an engagement ring, or was it something else?
No,
now she was just being silly. This was Tidus
she was thinking about. Her Tidus. He
wouldn�t hurt anybody, let alone her. He loved her and he liked Baralai. Why would he kill him and hurt her like
that? Hurt everyone? He wouldn�t. Tidus
had never killed anyone except Seymour
and that was only after Seymour
had attacked first. Tidus didn�t intend on
killing him.
�Lemme go! I�m gonna
kill that Seymour!�
Or
did he�?
�Are
you okay?� Shuyin asked her, fear tingeing his
voice. He hoped that she hadn�t figured anything out. He didn�t
want to hurt her.
Forcing
herself to calm, Yuna shook her head and tried to
clear the thoughts from her brain, �No, I�m fine. Just tired.� She
replied as she let him wrap his arms around her and for the first time it felt
like a stranger was holding her.
Author�s Notes: Lately I have been having
the same review emailed to me. I think it has something to do with the
software glitch that ff.net has been having lately. I�ve gotten it 109
times so far. I just thought I�d share that with everybody. Haha! Anyway, BARALAI�S BACK! BARALAI�S
BACK! BARALAI�S BACK! Okay, maybe not back back, but he has dialog in this chapter which is pretty
good for a dead guy :)
