Chapter Five: In The Still of the Night
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
After
the initial shock of finding a human skull, Yuna was
sickened to realize that there were two more within close proximity. One
of the skulls had a bullet hole through the forehead. It was obvious at
least one of them had been murdered. Had the rest of them suffered the
same fate? It had been too dark to search for the remainder of the body
parts and none of the crew particularly wanted to continue that feat. Rikku insisted that they all leave before Tidus realized they were gone and everyone agreed. It
would be for the best. Besides, they could find a way to get a DNA match
on the skulls. The rest of the skeletons were not needed.
Tidus was safely tucked under the covers sound asleep when the group
returned to the former Youth League headquarters tired and dirty, while
carrying three human skulls. It was almost as if he had never left, had
it not been for the dirt that trimmed the lower cuff of his shorts. The blitzer was lost in his dreams as Yuna
padded around the guest room to his shorts which were flung haphazardly over
the bed frame. She thumbed her finger over the dirt and frowned.
Just what was going on with him?
�Did
you want to stay for the night, love?� LeBlanc whispered from the
doorway. Yuna walked toward her and the two
closed the guestroom door quietly behind them as they made their way into the
foyer, �All of you can if you want. It�s been a rough day, love.�
Yuna laughed a little, �You can say that again.� LeBlanc smiled at Yuna and for the first time the former summoner
felt like she had found a friend in LeBlanc rather then
a competitor. Although the two women were as different as night and day,
it was during this time of worry that Yuna saw a
compassionate side of LeBlanc that she never knew existed. It was really
comforting. Smiling at the tall blonde before her, Yuna
said, �Staying would be great. I�m actually really tired.�
�I
thought you would be,� LeBlanc admitted with a grin, �Everybody else was so
they are all getting settled in their rooms.� She cast a glance toward the door
to Tidus�s guestroom and asked, �Did you want to stay
in there with him or did you want another room?�
Yuna shrugged, �I probably should stay with him. I don�t want
him to get suspicious just in case he is up to something.� She frowned
and cast her glance downward, �I just hope that my fears aren�t realized.�
�What
fears would that be, love?�
Yuna shook her head, �It�s nothing.� She replied, �I�ll be going to
sleep now.� Turning and reentering the room, Yuna
shut the door behind her before she had to explain herself to LeBlanc.
She had been having an uneasy feeling about Tidus
since he had said he was hearing voices, but now�
She
didn�t want to put words to her fears. She would rather just pretend that
nothing was wrong until there was concrete proof that there was.
Stripping
to her underwear, Yuna crawled under the sheets next
to Tidus and lay on her left side watching his chest
rise and fall with every breath. He was in such a deep slumber that she
had a hard time believing that less than an hour ago he�d been in the Cave of Woe looking for, of all things, a
skull. The dirt on his pants, however, didn�t lie. He had been
there. The question now, was why. A blue eye opened, followed by
the other and Tidus slowly came into
consciousness. He squirmed beneath the sheets until he rolled over to
face her, �Hello, beautiful.� He said.
�Sleep
well?� Yuna asked. Part of her silently prayed
that he�d tell her the truth, but the rest of her knew that was a crazy wish
and one that would never come true.
Tidus nodded, �Actually I did. I feel pretty good.� His eyes
trailed down to the floor where he noted her clothes in their piles. With
a grin, he said, �Am I to assume that you might be half-naked under those
sheets?�
Yuna giggled and pulled the sheets closer to her. This was the Tidus she fell in love with. He was playful and
fun. He was romantic and passionate. The man that was cursing at
the door to the Cave
of Woe was so drastically
different. He seemed angry. He seemed like�
Shuyin.
Yuna pushed that horrid thought away quickly and focused back on Tidus who had managed to slip a hand behind her while she
was thinking and was making fast work unclasping her bra, �And just what do you
think you�re doing?� Yuna teased as she felt his
hands on the elastic of her panties.
�I
am seducing you. Got a problem with that?� he asked just as he moved his
lips softly against her neck and down further and further.
Yuna sighed heavily and let her eyes close, �No, not at all.� She
whispered.
--------------------
A
knock at Rikku�s door startled the blonde Al Bhed as she struggled into the t-shirt she was going to sleep
in. Straightening her braids, Rikku skipped to
the door and opened it. Her heart jumped into her throat for a moment and
Rikku couldn�t form words.
It
was Gippal.
Clad
in just his low-slung slacks, the handsome Al Bhed�s
muscular chest was clearly visible. Rikku stood
staring at him for much longer then she wanted to and was only shaken back to
reality at the realization that he was grinning his cocky grin. She
frowned, �What do you want?�
�You.�
Gippal replied, �But we�ll discuss that later.� Rikku stammered a flustered reply as Gippal
forced his way past her and into the room. He turned back to her and his
eyes wandered the full length of her as he noted the t-shirt she was sleeping
in which exposed quite a bit of leg. Although she was more covered then
she normally was in her daily clothes, there was something about her in an
oversized men�s shirt that aroused him. Then he frowned. He knew
that shirt, �Isn�t that Baralai�s shirt?�
Rikku nodded, �Yeah, he said I could sleep in it since he was wearing
another one underneath it.�
�What?
You two are sharing clothes now?!� Gippal bit
off. Groaning and throwing his hands in the air, he spat, �Are you
interested in him or something?�
�What�s
it to you if I am?� Rikku demanded, �You�re the one
that never tried to get in touch with me when you went off to save the world!�
Gippal groaned. He knew Rikku was
right. He hadn�t tried to speak with her or to keep in touch. He
had screwed up and he knew that, but he wasn�t about to admit that to
her. He shook his head, �Never mind about that for now.� He said, �I just
wanted to see if you knew where Shinra was.
He�s a smartie and I thought he might be able to do
the DNA analysis we need.�
�He�s
probably with Pop at the new location of Home. They started the
rebuilding about a week ago.�
Gippal nodded, �I had forgotten about that,� he crossed the room toward Rikku. With the dim light in the room, she looked
even more beautiful and the two stared into each others
eyes for several moments before Gippal whispered,
�You�re really beautiful.�
�Thanks.�
Rikku said with a blush. Gippal
never complimented her and now he had done so twice in the last 24 hours.
It had to be a new record or something. Rikku
vaguely wondered if this was a trend that would continue but all thought left
her head when his lips came upon hers in a kiss that set her whole being on
fire.
It
seemed like forever before his lips left her own. Rikku
could form coherent words before he lifted her in his strong arms and crossed
over to the bed. His green eyes seemed to bore holes right through her,
and she barely realized he had set her down upon the bed, before he turned to
leave. Her feelings ranged from relief to disappointment in those moments.
She didn't want him to go, but she didn�t want him to stay either. In a
moment he was to the door, and, just as quickly as he�d shown up, he was gone
with just Rikku�s pounding heart to signify that he�d
been there at all.
--------------
The
dim light from the refrigerator gave the entire kitchen a light glow as Paine
stared into the chilly abyss trying to figure out if she did indeed want
something to eat. The stoic female couldn�t sleep so she had wandered out
of the guest room she was to stay in and out into the kitchen hoping to find
sustenance.
It
was strange for her to be in the same building with the three men she�d tried
so desperately to avoid after the Crimson Squad massacre. It was
infinitely stranger to be in the home of the leader of the aforementioned
squad. Things between herself and Nooj have
been uncomfortable since her 16th birthday that the crew had celebrated on a
ship bound for Luca. It was after that night that Paine swore never to
drink again. Beer and a �friendly� atmosphere caused people to do things
they wouldn�t be proud of in the morning. Nooj
and Paine had done those things�`twice.
�Can�t
sleep?�
Paine
spun around, dropping the water bottle she had gripped in her hand. Water
splashed all over the floor and Nooj was beside her
in a moment to help her clean the soaking mess. Their hands touched
briefly as they wiped up the mess and their eyes connected. Paine felt
her heart skip a beat. Although he was practically engaged to LeBlanc and
had been even back during their tryst, she still loved him. She would
always love him.
His
eyes seemed to expect some sort of response from her and she nodded, �I�m not
tired.�
�Neither
am I.� he replied with a weak smile.
Tense was the mildest of terms that could be used to describe the feelings
between them now. It was odd to have her under his roof, so close and yet
so far away. He loved LeBlanc and had since he had met her almost 10
years before, but part of him longed for Paine in a way that he�d never longed
for anyone. He didn�t understand it. He didn�t think he ever
would.
�Noojie!!� came LeBlanc�s voice down the hall, �Noojie!!�
Nooj and Paine climbed to their feet and separated on the linoleum
floor. Paine nodded curtly to him, �I should be going.�
�Yeah.�
Nooj agreed, �I think that�d be best.�
�Goodnight.�
�Goodnight.�
Nooj watched with a heavy heart as Paine walked out of the back
kitchen entrance just as LeBlanc came in from the front. He felt her
hands snake around his waist as she whispered, �And what are you doing out
here, love?�
�Just
getting a drink.� He replied.
LeBlanc
rose on her toes and placed a soft kiss on the nape of his neck, �Well, why
don�t you come to bed. I�m lonely, love.�
�Okay,
LeBlanc.� Nooj said as he began to follow her out of
the kitchen. Casting one last glance over his shoulder to the door Paine
had used, Nooj let out a silent sigh and continued
behind LeBlanc.
------------------
Baralai barely slept a wink at all the entire
night. He couldn�t stop his racing mind from thinking about Rikku. It wasn�t like him to become so focused on one
thing that everything else took a backseat. Rising from his bed a little
after seven, Baralai pulled his pants and shirt on
and padded silently to Rikku�s bedroom. He
hoped that the Al Bhed was awake and when he saw dim
light coming from under her door he knew she was. Knocking softly, he
waited for some response from the female in the room. It came moments
later, �Who is it?�
�It�s
Baralai,� he replied, �Can I come in for a minute?�
�Sure.�
At
her okay, Baralai silently slid the door open and
stepped into her bedroom. Rikku was sitting
cross legged on her bed with her back to him. The shirt he�d lent her was
covering her long legs like a blanket as she watched the sunrise from her
window. Sitting down next to her, Baralai
asked, �So how are you this morning?�
Rikku shrugged. She had been unable to sleep thanks to the
shocking kiss Gippal had given her. All she
could think about was his lips and how much she wanted to taste more of his
mouth. Her heart started to pound just thinking about where last night
could have led had he not left. Falling backward onto the bed, she looked
up at Baralai, �Have you ever been with a girl?�
Baralai�s surprise at the question was obvious when
his brown eyes widened and he choked on the air he�d breathed in, �Wh�what?!�
�Have
you ever had sex?� Rikku repeated, sitting up again
to face him, �I know you were a priest and that was, you know, forbidden.
But, did you do it before?�
Baralai, after getting over his immediate shock,
fell backward on the bed with Rikku following suit,
�First of all,� he said, �it wasn�t exactly forbidden. You could as long
as you were married, but that�s beside the point.�
�Yes
it is.� Rikku said with a giggle, �Now are you going
to answer my question or not?�
�Yes.�
Rikku�s smirk vanished after a few seconds of
holding it. Cocking an eyebrow, the blonde female rolled over onto her
side, �Yes what?�
�Yes,
I have.� Baralai replied.
Rikku frowned and allowed herself to fall back again, �I was afraid you
were going to say that.� She admitted with a sigh, �I really hoped you were
going to say no, though.�
�Why?�
�So
that I wouldn�t be the only virgin on the entire airship,� she replied. Rikku forced herself to rise from the bed as she walked
over to the window and gazed out. Without thinking, Rikku
lifted the nightshirt she had borrowed from Baralai
over her head. Baralai took in his breath
quickly as he realized with shock that Rikku was only
wearing panties under that oversized t-shirt. With her back to him, he
could make out ever curve in her body as she let the shirt drop to the
floor. He found himself wondering what it would be like to trace his lips
over that soft skin before Rikku�s leaning to reach
her bikini from the floor caught his attention. She put it on with ease
before turning back to face Baralai, �Thanks for
letting me borrow your shirt.� She said with a smile as she handed it back to
him.
Baralai fought the blush that was forming on his
features due to his tightening pants and he quickly bunched the shirt up and
placed it on his lap, �Sure thing.� He replied.
Rikku sat down next to him to put on her skirt and arm bands before
saying to him, �Is there something wrong with me? I mean, I�ve saved the
world twice but I�ve never had sex. What does that mean?!�
�It
means you�ve saved the world twice but you�ve never had sex.� Baralai replied simply, �There�s nothing wrong with you, Rikku.�
She
grinned at him and kissed his cheek, �Thanks.� She said as she stood and
slipped her shoes on, �We should go and see if everybody else is up yet.�
Baralai nodded and followed the � once again �
perky female out of her room, trying with all his might to keep his eyes ahead
of him instead of on her backside.
------------------
Tidus slowly crawled out of the bed but as soon as his feet hit the
floor he felt Yuna�s hand on his back, �Where are you
going?� she asked sleepily.
�I
was going to take a shower.� Tidus said, �It�s
early. Go back to sleep.�
Yuna rose from the bed after him, letting the blankets fall from her
naked form. He smiled at her, pulling her body close to him in a warm and
passionate embrace. Separating reluctantly, Tidus
reached for his shorts which were still hanging on the bedframe.
He frowned a little because he couldn�t remember having put them there, but he
didn�t worry about it too much when he saw Yuna
laying back down on the bed and replacing the blankets over herself, �Going
back to sleep?� he asked.
�Yep.�
She replied, rolling onto her side with a sigh.
Tidus grinned like an idiot and gripped his shorts in his left hand and
his shirt in his right. Sleeping over hadn�t been the original plan so Tidus hadn�t brought any extra clothes with him when the
group had set out, not that that had ever bothered him before. Tidus was the kind of guy who only changed clothes when
there were holes in them.
Pulling
the bathroom door closed behind him, he threw the clothes on the floor and
turned the shower on hot before stepping under the spray. Being given a
second chance at life was something Tidus was never
going to take for granted. Even the littlest pleasures � like showering �
had a whole new feeling to them. He let the soap lather over his muscular
body before rinsing and stepping gingerly out of the shower with a towel
wrapped around his waist.
�Hi.�
Tidus laughed and ran his hands through his soaking hair, �I thought
you were going back to sleep.� He said to Yuna who
had joined him in the bathroom.
�I
changed my mind.� The ex-summoner replied as she
handed him his clothes.
Tidus let the towel drop from his waist and stood in all his glory
while Yuna silently appraised him. With her
grin of approval, Tidus slipped his shirt over his
head then his boxers over his feet. As he went to slip his shorts on, he
noticed some dirt staining the cuff and he frowned. Where had that come
from? He thumbed the stain for a moment before looking at Yuna, �Where did this dirt come from?�
She
felt herself go pale. He hadn�t really asked her that, right? It
was just like before when he led them to that house and then didn�t know where
he was. What was going on?!
�Yuna?� Tidus asked again, �Do you
know where I got this dirt on my pants from?�
Author�s Notes: This chapter reintroduces Shinra, the Al Bhed whiz kid,
(hence the title of �I Know Everything�). This chapter will also
introduce the main conflict in the story involving the person controlling Tidus (and I�m sure most of you realize who that is.)
The Gippal/Rikku/Baralai love triangle will have a twist occur late chapter
8 and conclude in chapter 9 which will change this entire sub-plot. I�m
informing you readers of this now because the next two chapters will have some
important pieces of information and dialog that will come into play when this
twist occurs. Also, there are conversations between Tidus
and the �man inside his head�. The man�s dialog is in italics.
