Gamerz Fantasy X-2

Okay, first off, I'm really sorry for vanishing for half a year, new job, new home...new wife...and a bunch of computer problems have kept me busy since before January. Well, I'm back now, and while I won't be posting as often as I used to (You wouldn't beleive how hard it is to write this stuff at work when there's someone looming over your shoulder all day) I will keep it up until I run out of ideas...(yeah right)
Gamerz Fantasy X-2…2
By The Playing Mantis

(I’m not really the type of guy who does requests…mainly because by the time that the story is done, the requester has forgotten about requesting in the first place… However, I am the type that, when he gets an idea in his head, can’t let it go until it’s written down. I received a review recently (well, recently before I wrote this author’s note at any rate) that requested a follow-up to this involving Yuna and Kimahri. Since I love the idea of that pairing, I’m actually gonna write it. I’ve got to wonder…will any of my Gamerz Fantasy’s ever actually be complete?)

“So, where are we going?” asked Brother excitedly, always happy to take an order from Yuna, just to have her speak to him.

“Mt. Gagazet!” cheered Yuna as she ran up to the pilot’s seat pointing in the direction of where she thought their destination was. She was so happy and energetic in her declaration that no one on the bridge wanted to point out that she was pointing in the opposite direction.

Brother looked back at her and almost lost all the blood he had in his body through his nose as he saw that she was straddling the seat in just a way that let him see her panties. Yuna looked down at him and smiled widely, giving him a wink before giggling and running back to where Paine was standing. “You’re giving away free peeks to perverts now?” asked Paine quietly, making Yuna giggle even more.

“I feel so much more free now than I was when I was still tied to the idea of finding Him,” said Yuna, who had made it a point over the last few minutes (since the end of Gamerz Fantasy X-2) to not mention Tidus’ name again until she could without feeling like crying or wanting to knock his block off for all but running off with Rikku. She wasn’t exactly thrilled with Rikku either and planned to have a few words with her young cousin as soon as the two returned…if they even bothered to. In the meantime, she felt that she had every right to have as much fun of her own while she wasn’t officially tied to anyone and wasn’t going to waste a second of it. “Besides,” she added as an afterthought, “at least mine are clean.”

Paine had to fake a cough to avoid laughing in front of the others. When she got her voice back she smirked at Yuna and quietly asked, “And who’s fault is that? I don’t recall saying that ‘my crotch was lonely and needed the company of your hand’ while on the elevator.

“If you had really wanted me to stop, you wouldn’t have kept saying ‘yes, yes, yes!’,” replied Yuna calmly.

“You didn’t happen to equip the ‘horny slut’ dress sphere on the way over without me noticing, did you?” asked Paine blankly, causing Yuna to bust out laughing. Shinra, Buddy and Brother looked back at the two, causing Yuna to cover her mouth and blush a little. “Perhaps we should continue this conversation somewhere else,” suggested Paine.

“I suggest your room,” said Yuna, “I still haven’t found all of Brother’s spy cameras in mine…” The two girls smiled at each other as they got back on the eleveator.

******************************************************************

Yuna woke up a few hours later, confused about where she was, to the sound of the intercom beeping. She stumbled around in the dark until she found the button and hit it. “Yes?” she muttered blearily.

“Paine! I can’t find Yuna! Do you know where she is?” asked Brother before there was the sound of a small scuffle.

“I think I have an idea of where she is,” said Paine with a smile as her arm slowly encircled Yuna’s shoulders and hugged her tightly. Yuna stifled a moan and wiggled a little, really liking the feel of Paine’s soft breasts pressing against her bare back.

“Well, tell her that we’ve arrived at Mt. Gagazet,” said Buddy wearily. “Sorry for the bother, but Brother insisted on finding her when he realized that he wasn’t able to spy on her.”

“Nonsense!” shouted Brother, “I never did!”

“Anyway…” said Buddy, “when you see her, tell her we’re here. No rush.”

Paine pulled Yuna away from the intercom as it clicked off and murmured, “No rush, huh?” Her hands slowly slid down Yuna’s torso and met at her core, causing the young summoner to arch her back, thrusting her butt back into Paine’s crotch. “In that case…why don’t we continue where we left off?”

“I don’t see any problem with that…” sighed Yuna as she let Paine drag her back to the bed.

******************************************************************

Yuna and Paine stumbled off the elevator an hour later, looking a little bedraggled but with a certain glow about them. Buddy bit his tongue, while Brother gaped. If Shinra noticed anything, his mask hid his reaction from the world. “So, we’re here?” asked Yuna innocently.

“Yeah, we’re here,” said Buddy slowly. “So, what are we doing here anyway?”

“Paine and I wanted to visit with Kimahri and the Ronso for awhile,” said Yuna. “I haven’t really had the time to visit with them. We may be there for a few days, so you guys can go do whatever you want. We’ll call you if we need you.”

“Sounds good to me,” said Shinra, “I was planning on going to that Sphere Break tournament, but now I’ll have time to enter it.”

“It’ll be nice to have some real vacation time,” said Buddy, “Hellooooo waves, did you miss me?”

“Hey!” shouted Brother, “I am leader here! You don’t go without my permission!” Everyone merely glared at him until he quietly sat down and muttered, “Then again…time off sounds good…”

“You hear that Barkeep?” said Yuna through the intercom. “You have some time off! Have a nice honeymoon or something!”

“Thanksh Yoona!” replied Barkeep happily. “Me and the little misshus will be having good time!” He chuckled before Yuna started hearing kissing going on through the intercom.

Yuna giggled as little hearts bubbled up through the intercom before she quickly turned it off. She grinned at Paine, who rolled her eyes in mock disgust. “Come on,” said Paine, “Kimahri is waiting for you.”

“But he doesn’t know we’re coming,” said Yuna.

“Yuna,” whispered Paine as she pulled Yuna in really close, “I’ve seen the look in his eyes. He’s been waiting for you for years now, he’s just been too shy to admit it.” She wrapped her arm around Yuna’s shoulder and hunched over the computer screen as she continued whispering, so it would look to the others like they were looking at the map. “I bet all you’d have to do was say the word and he would grab you, throw you up against the nearest wall, cliff face, whatever and plow into you until neither of you could walk for a week.”

Yuna shivered at the thought. “Do you really think he could?” she asked.

“I’m sure he’s thought of it many, many times,” said Paine. “And he’s a Ronso, so I’m sure he’ll be able to go for a long time.”

“Have you ever done a Ronso?” asked Yuna.

“Once,” said Paine, “in order to pay for a room at an inn. I was still young and inexperienced in the ways of sex with anything other than humans then, and was completely blown away…” She smiled a little as she licked her lips and added, “And so was he…”

“Did it hurt?” asked Yuna nervously, her eyes widening. “I mean…they’re bigger than normal guys…right?”

“You already took on a behemoth,” said Paine with a smile. “I don’t think you have to worry about size.”

“That was a special circumstance and you know it!” hissed Yuna. “If I were to try it again without Trema’s protection, I bet that thing would kill me without even trying!”

“True,” acknowledged Paine, “and in answer to your question, Ronso are bigger than normal men, and even though Kimahri is smaller than most Ronso, he’s still bigger than a human would be. You will probably feel a little discomfort since you are still new to sex.”

“I asked about you,” said Yuna. “Did he hurt you?”

“No,” said Paine, “He was very good to me considering what I was doing.” She closed her eyes and shuddered a little making Yuna wish she knew exactly what Paine was picturing. She was just about to ask when Paine’s eyes snapped open and she smiled at Yuna. “Let’s go down there and see if we can find some company.”

Yuna grinned back at her as the two finally stood up. “We’re getting off here!” she declared.

“In more ways than one…” whispered Paine as the two got on the elevator and waved to the three others.

“At least we can hope,” replied Yuna, causing the two to smile at each other.

******************************************************************

“Kimahri!” squealed Yuna as she ran up and leapt into her former guardian’s arms, giving him a big hug.

“It good to see Yuna,” said Kimahri in a way that to an outside observer would seem cold, but anyone who knew the two of them would know the warmth behind his words.

“So, how have you been?” asked Yuna innocently as she adamantly refused to let go of the hug.

“Everything okay,” replied Kimahri. He had to be imagining it. Yuna wouldn’t be rubbing her hips against him like that. “Okay with Yuna, too?”

“Everything’s going great!” said Yuna excitedly. The fact that he hadn’t thrown her off of him proved that either Paine was right, or he was too stunned to do anything. “I’m so happy to see you!” She slowly slid out of his arms, making sure to gently brush his loincloth with one hand as she did so, and smiled internally when she felt him jerk.

“What Yuna doing here?” said Kimahri gruffly, trying to cover up his embarrassment. After all, this was Yuna; the girl that he’d watched over in Besaid since she was 7 years old. She was like a daughter to him, which is why the feelings that she stirred in him filled him with such shame. And his desires for her were causing him to imagine her acting in such a lewd fashion. The best thing to do would be to stay away from her for awhile.

“Paine and I are here to visit for awhile!” said Yuna happily. Kimahri blinked as he looked past Yuna and finally noticed Paine, giving him a smile that made him feel slightly uncomfortable, surrounded by a bunch of travel bags.

“But…there is nothing to do on Gagazet,” said Kimahri slowly. “Yuna and Paine not find adventure up here.”

“I’m sure we can find something to do to pass the time,” said Paine, her strange smile never leaving her face.

“Kimahri not…” started Kimahri before another Ronso, the female who was always with Kimahri during the trials with Garik, came up to the small group.

“Elder not be rude to one who found Lian and Ayde,” said the female Ronso. “This one should be treated with respect and not turned away for any reason.”

“See, she agrees with us,” said Yuna as she stuck out her bottom lip in an impressive pout, “Please, Kimahri?”

“That never worked on Kimahri when Yuna wanted to stay up late at night either,” rumbled Kimahri, but there was a tiny bit of a smile in his voice that Yuna easily caught and latched onto.

“Oh yeah, you’re right,” she said quietly, “and when it didn’t work, do you remember what I would do instead?”

Kimahri slowly leaned down so that their noses were almost touching, his arms folded and his face stern. “Yuna wouldn’t dare…” he growled menacingly.

“You bet I would!” yipped Yuna as her hands darted out as she started tickling him.

They fell to the ground and rolled in the snow, one laughing mischievously and the other uncontrollably, until Kimahri couldn’t take anymore and yelled, “Stop! Kimahri give! Yuna win! Yuna can stay!”

“Hooray!” cheered Yuna as she stood up and made the ‘v for victory’ sign to Paine, who merely smiled at her.

“Well, now that’s settled, would Yuna care to join for our dinner?” asked the female Ronso, who appeared to be entirely unruffled by the childishness of her elder and the savior of the land.

“‘Our’ dinner?” asked Paine as she walked up to Kimahri. “You dog you! Why didn’t you tell anyone that you got married?”

“Kimahri not…” mumbled Kimahri, but the female Ronso stepped in again.
“Nurvy am not elder’s wife, merely helper,” she said. “Nurvy was assigned to elder to make sure that elder was relieved of some of the stress of being elder for our entire clan. We share meals together and at times we have bathed together or shared a tent out of necessity and expediency, but Nurvy assure Paine that nothing happened between us.”

“Nurvy!” said Kimahri sternly.

“Yes, elder?” asked Nurvy politely.

“Show our guests to a tent where they can stay for their time with Ronso,” said Kimahri.

“I’ll be staying with you Kimahri!” said Yuna as she grabbed and hugged his arm.

“Th-that not appropriate!” said Kimahri.

“Why not?” asked Yuna, “After all, you always used to sleep in my hut with me back in Besaid.”

“That was when Yuna was still under Kimahri’s protection as little one and as summoner who needed guardian,” said Kimahri. “Yuna no longer need Kimahri to protect Yuna. Yuna, who have saved this world, not once but twice, does not need the protection of a mere Ronso warrior.”

“I never said I needed your protection,” said Yuna, “I wanted the comfort of being near you, the one who saved me, took me from Bevelle and stayed with me in Besaid all those years.”

“The tents…” said Kimahri, “They only for one or two Ronso. It would be…cramped…”

“I’m sure we’ll manage,” said Yuna.

“And Paine?” asked Nurvy as she looked at Paine. “Is there anyone that Paine fancy staying with?”

“Not particularly,” said Paine, “I brought a tent just in case, unless someone wants to bunk with me.”

“As Paine wish,” said Nurvy flatly. “Now, Nurvy has prepared food for elder and Nurvy, it will not be hard to prepare more for our guests.”

******************************************************************

After the food was all gone, Nurvy stood and said, “Well then, since there is no real business at the moment, Nurvy goes to tent. Have pleasant night.” She slowly merged with the darkness of the evening of Mt. Gagazet as she left the light of the fire.

Paine, Yuna and Kimahri sat around the small fire in silence: Paine because she was waiting to see what would happen, Yuna because she was still a little nervous about seducing Kimahri, and Kimahri because he wasn’t sure it would be safe to be alone with Yuna if he was hallucinating this badly. At length, Paine got tired of waiting and said, “I’m sorry Yuna, but I’m rather tired and won’t be able to go with you to the hotsprings tonight.”

“Huh?” Yuna started to say right before Paine nudged her foot, making her hold her tongue.

“Yeah, sorry, I know you wanted to go so badly tonight, just to take a dip and relax after so much excitement,” said Paine. Yuna still didn’t get it so Paine flicked her eyes over at Kimahri.

“Oh!” said Yuna as she finally got it and tried, badly, to play it off. “That’s right! I totally forgot about it, what with talking with Kimahri all this time.

“Maybe Kimahri would be good enough to take you up there,” said Paine as she smiled at the suddenly nervous-looking Ronso.

“Kimahri not sure that Kimahri should be one to do that,” he said after a few seconds had passed.

“Oh, come on! For me?” asked Yuna sweetly.

“It’s not like we’re asking you to watch her the entire time, just take her up there,” said Paine. “What’s the harm in that?”

“None,” sighed Kimahri after a few seconds. “All right, Kimahri will escort her.”

“Yay! Thanks Kimahri!” squealed Yuna as she tackled the Ronso and hugged him again. This time she made sure to squeeze her ample chest against his, and she was sure she felt something twitch underneath his loincloth before he managed to push her off. She grinned to herself, no longer uncertain of whether he wanted her or not. She would spring on him at the hot spring and they would make love until they couldn’t take it anymore and then they would go down to his tent and do it all over again. They would go all night if she had anything to say about it.

******************************************************************

The trip up the mountain was uneventful. The fiends that normally bothered people on Gagazet seemed to all be asleep at the moment, so Yuna and Kimahri reached the hot springs rather quickly. The two looked around nervously for a second or two before Kimahri said, “Kimahri should probably go stand watch for fiends. Yuna enjoy bath.” As he turned to give her her privacy, he was stopped by her lightly touching his arm.

“Kimahri…” said Yuna quietly, “I want you to stay here, with me.”

“Yuna,” said Kimahri, not turning around, “Kimahri is Ronso warrior and Elder of Ronso people. Kimahri have responsibilities that make Kimahri yearn for the days that Kimahri spent in Besaid with Yuna and others. Kimahri wish for time when Yuna and Kimahri were young and life was uncomplicated.”

“I remember that we used to go out on the beach and just sit there, gazing at the ocean and the stars,” said Yuna.

“Yuna never said, but Kimahri know that Yuna was thinking about her father and her duties as summoner,” said Kimahri, making Yuna nod quietly.

“Why did you stay with me after you brought me to Besaid?” asked Yuna, “Why did you become my first guardian?”

“At first, Kimahri not sure,” said Kimahri. “The human girl that Kimahri took from Bevelle was small, weak and loud, but Kimahri stayed and watched as girl became strong-willed woman, worthy of Ronso warrior as her guardian. Then, as time went on, Kimahri realized that Kimahri loved Yuna.”

Yuna’s breath caught in her throat although she didn’t dare hope that he meant what she wanted him to mean. “Y-you love me?” she asked quietly.

“Kimahri love Yuna very much,” said Kimahri as he finally turned and looked down at her, “which is why Kimahri must not stay here while Yuna take bath.”

“What?” asked Yuna.

“Yuna beautiful young woman, and Kimahri Ronso warrior who has not had time or opportunity to have real rest and relief from duties in two years,” said Kimahri. “Kimahri not…relieve self…in some time…please Yuna, do not make Kimahri stay where he will shame himself in front of woman Kimahri loves more than any Ronso Kimahri has ever met.”

Yuna was so stunned by what Kimahri said, that she actually let his arm go. “I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to…” she stammered.

Kimahri smiled at her before saying, “Yuna not offend Kimahri, and Kimahri not offend Yuna. All is well. Enjoy bath.” He slowly trod away, leaving Yuna feeling somewhat foolish, but she wasn’t sure if it was because of what she had tried to do or the fact that Kimahri had managed to talk her out of it. As she stripped and lowered herself into the heated water, she became more and more upset at the fact that even though Kimahri admitted that she was beautiful, he didn’t seem interested in seeing where they could go together. He seemed to think it was all about sex without any love. “But, that may just be because he’s not thinking straight,” she thought to herself. “Maybe I should do something to help him out tonight.” She smiled to herself as she thought up a quick plan that she planned to spring on him after he’d gone to sleep, and enjoyed her bath.

******************************************************************

Yuna sighed at the fact that Kimahri had refused to enter his own tent while she was changing into her sleeping attire, which was a little less revealing than she would have liked, but freezing to death just wouldn’t do. Blue was a perfectly good color on a Ronso, but not on a human. She laid down on the fur pelt that was on the ground and would serve as their bed for the next few days, and said, “I’m clothed again.”

There was the briefest of hesitations before Kimahri entered his tent and sat down on the pelt next to Yuna. He still looked slightly uncomfortable being so close to her, but she started chatting with him about their days in Besaid until he had visibly calmed down. The two talked for quite some time before Kimahri suddenly said, “It late. Kimahri have duties to attend to tomorrow. Yuna and Kimahri get some sleep now.” And with those words, he quickly laid down and promptly fell asleep.

“Uh…yes…” said Yuna, unsure of how to proceed with her plan. If Kimahri was telling the truth, then she should let him sleep, but if not then…she would be wasting this opportunity. She looked at him carefully, his fur barely covering his well defined muscles. His loincloth covered his modesty, even though his prone position allowed her to get a slightly better look than she normally would have had, especially when he turned in his sleep so that he was facing her. She gasped lightly as his loincloth slipped down, exposing a small part of his manhood (Ronsohood?) to her. She longed to touch it, to see what it would feel like to have his member in her hand, let alone her…

“Yuna…” muttered Kimahri, making her jump as she quickly pulled her hand back.

“Y-yes?” she asked quietly before realizing that he had called her name in his sleep. “What? Is he dreaming about me?” She blushed a little as she started to wonder what it was that he was dreaming about. Kimahri called her name again, but this time it was more of a moan than a mutter, and Yuna’s eyes widened as she watched his cock start to grow in front of her eyes. “K-Kimahri?” she whispered as her breath caught in her throat.

“Yuna…Kimahri love…Yuna…please…” moaned Kimahri as he rolled onto his back, his loincloth slipping to the side and exposing him completely, making Yuna have to bite her tongue to keep silent.

“He’s huge!” she gasped. “He’s even bigger than the Behemoth!” Actually, he wasn’t even close, but she wasn’t in the most rational of mind frames at the moment. It was the same color as his fur, but was smooth; almost slick looking. “Kimahri?” she asked quietly.

“Kimahri want Yuna…” murmured Kimahri. “Yuna want Kimahri?”

“Yes…” whispered Yuna, “I want you so much right now…”

Kimahri rumbled a little before turning back onto his side facing her. They were nearly face to face and she could see a small smile on his lips. “That good…” he said, “Kimahri happy…”

Yuna’s own lips trembled as she slowly leaned in and gently kissed him, so as not to wake him. “Good night, my lovely Ronso warrior,” she whispered as she softly stroked his arm before rolling onto her back and closing her eyes, contemplating plans on how to use this new information to her advantage in the next few days before she fell asleep.

******************************************************************

Yuna stretched noiselessly as she got up, unhappy to notice that Kimahri wasn’t still sleeping next to her, but happy that he hadn’t been lying to her the night before. She quickly changed out of the sleep wear and exited the tent, coming face to face with a grinning Paine. “Wh-what?!” she gasped as she leaned back, unable to really move because of the tent.

“How’d your night go?” asked Paine, her grin growing wider by the second.

“It was…uneventful,” said Yuna weakly, causing Paine to frown. “I tried a few times, but he kept being so sweet and caring…it just kind of…”

“Spoiled the mood?” suggested Paine.

“No!” said Yuna, “It made me want to hug him and kiss him, but not in the way that I wanted. But, I will say one thing, you were right about him.”

“How?” asked Paine as she arched her eyebrow.

“He wants me, badly,” said Yuna. “He started talking to me in his sleep last night.”

Paine’s eyes flashed. “Did you do anything to him, you know, make him have a better dream?” she asked.

“I talked to him and said I was happy he wanted me,” said Yuna, “and I gave him a kiss…”

Paine stared at Yuna for a few seconds before saying, “We’re only here for a week, you know.”

“I know…” said Yuna quietly.

“Well, just reminding you…you don’t have a lot of time to be wasting if you want to have him before we have to go back,” said Paine. She put her hand on Yuna’s shoulder and smiled. “I’m not trying to pressure you, but you had to hear that.” She was going to say something else when she had a feeling that she was being watched. She turned her head and watched as a burly male Ronso walked past her, her keen eyes noticing that his eyes continuously switched between where he was going and her butt. “I think I might have just found my good time before lunch,” she said with a smile. She winked at Yuna before adding, “Time to stalk some prey of my own.”

Even as she walked away, Khimari walked up to her and asked, “Yuna sleep well?”

“Huh?” asked Yuna, momentarily distracted by watching Paine grab the Ronso by the arm and literally drag him into her tent. “Oh yes, I slept fine! Did you get to your duties in time?”

“Yes…” said Kimahri slowly.

Yuna noticed that he was shifting from foot to foot and seemed to be getting more uncomfortable each second, so she asked, “What’s the matter?” When Kimahri merely looked down and seemed to get more uncomfortable, Yuna cocked her head to the side before saying, “You can tell me. What is it?”

“Did Yuna hear…Did Kimahri talk in sleep?” asked Kimahri quietly.

Yuna blinked a little and was about to say yes when she saw the look in his eyes. He must have remembered what he dreamt about and was hoping that he hadn’t said anything. Still, she couldn’t lie to him, he could always tell when she was lying to him; it was what made him such a good caretaker. “Well, I…” was all she managed to say before Nurvy came up to them and tapped Kimahri on his shoulder.

He nearly jumped into Yuna’s arms, proving how high-strung he was, before composing himself and saying, “Yes?” as calmly as he could.

“Elder, break from meeting is over,” said Nurvy as if nothing out of the ordinary had just happened.

“Yes,” said Kimahri quietly. He gave one last look at Yuna before slowly trudging away.

As Nurvy was turning to follow him Yuna grabbed her arm and said, “Could I talk to you in private when you have some free time?” Nurvy looked at Yuna before silently nodding her head and walking away. “Now…what to do?” thought Yuna as she looked around.

******************************************************************

After spending a few hours chatting with the Ronso and helping them with whatever she could, Yuna felt someone tapping on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Nurvy looking at her with the same expressionless face she always seemed to have. “Yuna wanted to speak with Nurvy?” she asked.

“Yes, yes I did,” said Yuna. “It’s about Kimahri. How has he been doing? I mean, he’s the elder of the tribe now. Has he been taking to his responsibilities well?”

Nurvy considered the questions before inclining her head, indicating that Yuna should follow her. The two walked for a few yards until they were in a relatively solitary place before Nurvy said, “Elder is doing well, quite well considering Elder’s relative youth and inexperience. However, Nurvy notice Elder having problems concentrating at times.” She looked pointedly at Yuna before adding, “It gotten worse since Yuna arrived.”

Yuna blushed and looked away. “Are you upset by that?” she asked.

“Not at all,” said Nurvy, “Who elder chooses to obsess over is Elder’s decision, even if can never happen between Elder and female.”

“What do you mean by that?!” demanded Yuna.

Nurvy shrugged. “Nurvy not mean anything,” she said, “Nurvy merely pointing out fact. If Elder and female can never be together, then it can never happen. If they can be together, so much the better.”

“I see…” said Yuna.

“Elder cannot be with Yuna, so Elder is distracted,” said Nurvy. “If Yuna wishes to stay, Nurvy will say nothing, however, it would be best for all Ronso if Yuna leave Gagazet and Elder alone.” Yuna’s teeth clenched as she set her jaw and glared at Nurvy, but the female Ronso was already leaving, having said her piece.

******************************************************************

“Bitch!” hissed Paine after Yuna was done ranting at her.

“I know!” said Yuna angrily, “Who does she think she is?!”

“I wasn’t talking about her,” said Paine quietly, causing Yuna’s head to snap in her direction.

“What does that mean?!” she demanded.

“I mean that we’ve forgotten something important in all of this,” said Paine.
“And what’s that?” asked Yuna. Paine merely stared into Yuna’s eyes before raising an eyebrow. “Oh no!” she said, “Don’t bring Him into this!”

“He’s the reason that Kimahri doesn’t think he has a chance with you,” insisted Paine. “You’d better figure out where you stand with Him before you drive that poor Ronso to drink.”

******************************************************************

Yuna was still thinking about what Paine said when she got ready for bed that evening. She signaled to Kimahri that she was decent, letting him into the small tent, before asking, “Would you prefer if I bunked with Paine for the remainder of my time here?”

“Why Yuna ask this?” asked Kimahri.

Yuna shrugged a little. “It’s just that you seem a little uncomfortable around me sometimes, so I wanted to give you some space…” she said quietly.

Kimahri smiled. “Yuna very kind, but Kimahri not want Yuna to leave,” said Kimahri. “Yuna being near allowed Kimahri to have best sleep Kimahri has had in long while. Kimahri had pleasant dreams, best dreams Kimahri had in over two years.”

“But…I’ve been distracting you from your duties…” said Yuna.

“Yuna not distract Kimahri when it important that Kimahri be focused,” said Kimahri. “Kimahri know when it okay to be distracted.”

Yuna and Kimahri smiled at each other and chatted for awhile until Kimahri, again, informed Yuna that he had to be awake rather early the next morning and fell asleep. Yuna watched him sleep for a few seconds before laying down and thinking about what she really wanted for herself. “How do I really feel about Him anymore anyway?” she muttered to herself.

“Yuna…” muttered Kimahri as he turned toward her, making her jump.

“Y-yes?” stammered Yuna right before realizing that he was talking in his sleep again. She swallowed before slowly crawling closer to him and whispering, in as sexy a voice as she could manage considering how nervous she was, “What can I do for you, Kimahri?”

“Yuna want Kimahri?” asked Kimahri.

“You already know that I do,” said Yuna with a smile on her face.
Kimahri rumbled again, but didn’t say anymore as he rolled onto his side, his loincloth slipping away from his hardening member. Yuna looked between it and Kimahri’s face a few times before biting her lip and slowly reaching out her hand. She lightly touched his member, quickly pulling it back when it twitched and Kimahri snorted. “Go ahead, Yuna…Kimahri not bite…” murmured Kimahri in his sleep, making Yuna sigh with relief.

“Okay then,” she whispered to herself as she reached out again and this time softly wrapped her hand around Kimahri’s shaft. Kimahri’s hips twitched slightly, but other than that he made no reaction. Yuna took that as a good sign and started to slowly stroke his length, watching his face carefully for any signs that he might be waking up. She licked her lips and smiled when she heard him start to breathe a little more heavily, and asked, “Do you like me doing this?”

“Oh yes, Yuna,” sighed Kimahri, “Kimahri like it a lot. Kimahri going to…to…” Without much more warning Kimahri’s cock started to twitch and jerk like mad. Yuna’s eyes widened greedily as she watched his cum shoot out of his cock all over her hand and his own waist. The cock continued to shoot out long strong spurts for a good minute before slowly to an oozing drip.

“So much!” hissed Yuna even as she realized that Kimahri’s cock hadn’t gone down at all, and indeed seemed to get a little harder.

“Kimahri not relieve self in long time,” said Kimahri. “Kimahri not always that quick.”

“Can you go again?” asked Yuna excitedly.

“Kimahri sure Kimahri can,” said Kimahri, making Yuna grin from ear to ear.

“Then I think,” said Yuna, “that we should see how long you can last now!” She quickly started stroking him again, using the cum on her hands to allow her to go faster without rubbing him raw. “Come on, Kimahri,” she whispered with a low, sultry voice in his ear. “I want to see you cum again… Or, if you would prefer, I would love to taste you cumming as well.”

“Y-Yuna!!!” growled Kimahri as his cock started to twitch again. This time Yuna was ready for it and quickly wrapped her lips around the head, swallowing slowly as his cock shot spurt after spurt of cum into her mouth. After every few shots, she swallowed allowing her to swallow it all without any problem, except for how much there was.

“Oh Yevon!” said Yuna when Kimahri’s cock finally stopped. “There was even more than the first time!”

“Yuna pleased?” asked Kimahri.

“I should say so!” said Yuna with a smile as she ran her fingers through Kimahri’s fur.

“That good…” said Kimahri before slowly rolling over onto his other side and starting to snore.

“Very pleased indeed,” said Yuna as she licked her hand clean. “I hope he talks in his sleep again tomorrow!”

******************************************************************

Yuna woke up the next morning very happy, but feeling slightly unfulfilled. After all, while she had managed to make Kimahri cum twice, she hadn’t been able to at all. She was just about to rectify that situation when she heard someone walk up to the tent and clear their throat. “Yes?” she asked as she crawled to the opening and poked her head out.

“Kimahri must apologize for last night,” said Kimahri quietly.

Yuna put on a calm front while she was panicking internally. Did he remember what had happened, or worse, was he actually awake? “Apologize for what?” she asked, surprised that she was able to keep her voice from cracking.

“Yuna very kind,” said Kimahri slowly and quietly as he leaned in and whispered, “Kimahri had embarrassing dream last night.”

“Oh?” asked Yuna. “What kind of embarrassing dream?”

“Where Kimahri…K-Kimahri…” stammered Kimahri before sighing and saying, “Kimahri had…personal dream…and made mess in tent”

Yuna sighed internally as she said, “It’s okay, everyone has them.”

“Yuna not embarrassed?” asked Kimahri.

“Not in the slightest,” said Yuna with a smile. “So, who was the lucky woman that got to have you?”

“Dream very vivid,” said Kimahri, dodging the question. “Almost as if dream really happen.” He stared at Yuna, who gave him a look of complete innocence, before sighing and standing up. “I see…well, as long as Yuna not embarrassed, Kimahri not need to be either.”

“Good!” said Yuna brightly, “So, what’s on the agenda for today?”

“Meeting over, so Kimahri pretty much free for day,” said Kimahri. “Kimahri thought that maybe Yuna and Paine would like tour of Mt. Gagazet. Kimahri can tell history of Kimahri’s homeland.”

“I’d love that!” said Yuna happily as she clapped her hands. “Wait, just a second!” She quickly got changed and jumped out of the tent before the two went over to Paine’s tent. “Uh…wait here…I’ll check inside,” said Yuna. She entered the tent, not even blinking when she saw Paine sitting naked, next to a passed out Ronso.

“Yes?” asked Paine pleasantly enough.

“Uh…Kimahri wanted to take us on a tour of the mountain,” said Yuna as she watched Paine softly stroke the Ronso’s cock into hardness.

“Thanks, but no thanks,” said Paine conversationally as she got the Ronso’s cock to the desired length before climbing on his body and easing him into her body. “My day’s all booked up. Go have fun with your Ronso.” She grinned at Yuna as if to say ‘and I’ll have fun with mine’ as she started to fuck the Ronso, even before he began to stir. Yuna merely blushed as she left the tent.

“We’re on our own then,” she said as calmly as she could manage.

“Very well,” said Kimahri with a smile, “Yuna follow Kimahri.” The two walked all over the mountain range, revisiting the paths where the summoners would travel on their holy quests, as well as other parts that were not as well known to outsiders. Kimahri proved himself to be a very good guide, showing her all of the sights that no one other than the Ronso had ever heard of before, and explaining how they were integral to the right, customs and way of life of the Ronso. By the time that they had returned to the Ronso encampment, it was past time for dinner, so they merely grabbed what they could from the leftovers and went back to Kimahri’s tent, where they talked while they ate. Just after they had finished eating, Kimahri paused the conversation and said, “Yuna…it time for…”

“Sleep?” asked Yuna. “Do you have another meeting tomorrow?”

“No, Kimahri free of responsibilities tomorrow, merely wanted to know if Yuna wished to join Kimahri for morning viewing of sunrise,” said Kimahri.

“That sounds lovely,” said Yuna softly as she put her hand on Kimahri’s and gently squeezed it.

Kimahri looked down at her hand before slowly raising his eyes to meet hers. “Yuna…” he said slowly.

“Yes?” asked Yuna quickly as she leaned in slightly with a bright smile on her face.

“Yuna…” started Kimahri again as he also leaned in a little. “Kimahri…”

“Kimahri what?” asked Yuna again, more softly. She noticed Kimahri’s almost imperceptible movement and leaned in a little more herself, so that their noses were almost touching.

“Kimahri…think that Kimahri and Yuna should sleep now,” said Kimahri quickly as he pulled away, laid down and pretended to fall asleep.

Far from being disappointed by the last minute cop out, Yuna was very pleased with how things were going. “Watching the sunrise together,” she thought happily. “I can’t wait! But first…” She looked down at Kimahri and smiled, before lying down and watching him, waiting patiently for him actually fall asleep and start talking to her.

This night, probably because he was extremely nervous about how close he came to kissing Yuna, Kimahri didn’t seem to fall asleep for at least an hour. During that time, Yuna calmly rubbed herself through her bedclothes, making sure that she was really turned on, but being careful to not climax until he was involved.

After the aforementioned hour had passed, Kimahri turned to that he was facing Yuna and muttered, “Yuna…”

“Yes Kimahri?” asked Yuna quietly, so as not to disturb his slumber.

“Yuna and Kimahri play together again?” asked Kimahri almost timidly.

“I thought you’d never ask!” said Yuna excitedly, her hands zooming toward his loincloth, which she flipped aside quickly and watched happily as his cock started to grow for her. “So, what do you want to do today?” she asked softly, trying to hold herself in check so that she didn’t wake him up.

“What Yuna want?” murmured Kimahri.

“Would you…” started Yuna before hesitating. What she wanted might wake him up. “Would you please lick me a little?” she asked timidly.

“Kimahri be glad to,” said Kimahri as he reached for her. Yuna let out a small squeak as Kimahri grabbed her and lifted her up so that her crotch was over his face.
“K-K-Kimahri!” gasped Yuna as she reached down and pulled her sleeping pants down and out of his way. She gasped again as his thick, rough tongue rasped against her soft nether lips. His licking was slow and soft, probably because he was still asleep, but Yuna loved it, and apparently so did Kimahri since his cock was sticking straight up in the air. “Oooo…do you want me to return the favor?” she asked dreamily. Kimahri only growled between licks and thrust his hips a little in response. Yuna smiled as she slowly eased her upper body down until his cock was right in her face. She slowly stuck out her tongue and gave it a soft lick, making it twitch a little. She grinned before licking all around it, giving extra attention to the tip.

“Yuna!” rumbled Kimahri as he flipped them both over. Yuna let out a small cry as Kimahri quickly buried his face in her crotch and licked in and around as if it was the sweetest tasting thing ever. “Yuna…”

“Kimahri…” hissed Yuna, “please…more…!”

“Yu…na…” growled Kimahri as he literally ripped her bed clothes from her body, making her yelp before screaming into her fist as she came onto his tongue. Kimahri seemed a little confused by her scream, a sudden look of consternation forming on his face. “Yu…na…?” Slowly, his eyes opened and he looked down at her, seeing her clothes torn from her body, seeing hints of tears in her eyes, seeing her disheveled state and, most of all, seeing the position the two were in. “Yuna…what Kimahri done?” whispered Kimahri.

“No…Kimahri, you didn’t…” started Yuna, but he wasn’t listening. He burst from his tent and dashed away, leaving Yuna all but screaming after him.

Paine dashed up to the tent, weapon at the ready, demanding, “What happened?!”
“I’ve done something very foolish,” said Yuna, as she fumbled around in the tent for her clothes, “and now I’ve got to do something about it.”

******************************************************************

After telling Paine and Nurvy that she had to go search for Kimahri herself without anyone else following, she set out. She had an idea of where he would go so she had to join him, even if seeing her would make him even more miserable. As she walked up the mountain, she wondered how she would tell him what she had done, how she could possibly explain her actions, but when she saw him again, it all went out the window. He was standing naked in front of the hot springs, his clothes discarded to the side. Yuna knew what this was. She recognized it as the Ronso penitence ritual. It was a ritual where a Ronso would soak his entire body in water until they felt that their sins were washed away. Kimahri had done this a few times while watching over Yuna, and had always instructed her to stay behind while he was performing the ritual. Yuna, be a precocious youth, always ended up following him anyway, watching in fascination as Kimahri would strip down and enter the ocean. His muscles were always impressive looking and she loved seeing more of his blue fur. It was true that they weren’t the same species, but there was something about him that drew her to him. It might have been the fact that they were both alone on that island. It was true that everyone treated her well enough, but it was always more because of what she was than who she was. Even Lulu and Wakka were like that for a time. Looking back on it; that must have been what really drew her to Tidus…he had no preconceived notions of what she was or what she was going to do. But then again, maybe she had always been attracted to Kimahri, but her feelings for him were overshadowed by her desire to become a summoner. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she must have realized that trying to be with him would be tragic for them both. But now…now there was a chance…a chance that she wasn’t about to let go. As she watched him slowly enter the water, she started fumbling with her clothes.

Kimahri sighed heavily as he gently splashed the hot water on his face. He would need to get used to the water, because he would be in there for quite some time. He closed his eyes and got into a meditative position, letting out a deep breath and trying, with all of his might, to get his mind off of the last time he saw her. She had looked so small and vulnerable underneath him, and so very beautiful…but he had…even though it was in his sleep he had still.... His eyes snapped open just as he heard someone clearing her throat right behind him. He swallowed and slowly turned his head, expecting who was standing there, but not in the way that she was. “Y-y-yuna!” he gasped.

“Kimahri, you did nothing wrong,” said Yuna quietly as she slowly padded up to him, not noticing the cold on her naked skin. “I was the one who allowed what happened to happen. I could have stopped it at any time, but I wanted it as much as you did.” She held out her hand, which Kimahri dumbly took as he helped her to step into the hot spring with him. She smiled at the way that he was staring at her, as if she would vanish if he so much as blinked. She sighed softly as her hips dipped into the water before standing directly in front of him. “I’m sorry for what I did,” she said softly as she slowly sat down in his lap. Her hips twitched slightly at the feel of his hard-as-a-rock penis rubbing against her, but she kept her libido in check until she said her piece. “You and I have been together for so long, and now that I look back on it, we’ve both wanted each other for almost as long, so I think it’s about time that we followed through with it, don’t you agree?”

“Yuna…Kimahri isn’t sure that Yuna understands…” groaned Kimahri through gritted teeth. Even though neither of them were moving, the slow, gentle rocking of the water caused them to rub against each other just enough that it was starting to get to him.

“Okay, so I don’t understand,” said Yuna calmly as she placed her hands on Kimahri’s face and looked him in the eyes. “Explain it to me.”

“Kimahri is, in many ways, traditional Ronso,” said Kimahri. “Does Yuna understand what that means?”

“It means that you follow the old ways of your people,” said Yuna, “But, I’ve seen you being very modern in the way that you handle your duties.”

“Kimahri is very modern for the sake of Ronso people, but very traditional in certain personal aspects,” said Kimahri.

“Such as…?” asked Yuna.

“It Ronso tradition to mate for life,” said Kimahri.

Yuna blinked. No wonder he had been so hesitant. “So, if you have sex with anyone, you can’t ever go to anyone else?” she asked. Kimahri nodded. “And you would prefer it if your mate did the same.” Kimahri nodded again. Yuna’s head canted to the side as she stared at him before grinning and saying, “Works for me!” She quickly raised her hips and reached down, positioning his cockhead at her entrance before he grabbed her hips and held her in place.

“Yuna…” he said severely. “What about Tidus?”

Yuna gave Kimahri a look that startled him enough to get his grip on her hips to weaken. She used his momentary weakness to push herself down on him. She moaned loudly, gutturally, as she felt his cock fill her in ways that anyone else would only be able to dream of, before leaning into his chest, letting out small moans as she softly squeezed her inner muscles. She slowly looked up at Kimahri’s astonished face and smiled sweetly before whispering, “Tidus who?”

Kimahri again grabbed her hips with his clawed hands, slowly lifting her as if to dislodge her, even making her look at him in disappointment, but then, at the last second, he dug his claws into her soft flesh and pulled her back down, while thrusting his hips upward, slamming into her. The effect was immediate for both of them. Kimahri roared and Yuna screamed as the deep-seated lust and love that they had been hiding from each other and themselves burst into their conscious minds with a pair of orgasms that even as they held each other, knew that they would never feel again but knew that they would try for many times in the future.

“Oh Yevon!” gasped Yuna as soon as she could breathe again, her orgasm still running through her and Kimahri’s still shooting into her. “Oh Yevon, Yevon, Yevon!!! Being filled with your cum feels so fucking good!”

Kimahri only growled possessively until the small trembles and shakes of their orgasms finally left them. Then he stood up and slowly pulled her off of his cock, easily holding her body aloft with his strong arms. “Yuna and Kimahri mated now,” he said as the two watched his cum flow out of her pussy and into the water, “Kimahri can never mate with another until the day Kimari dies.”

“That’s fine,” said Yuna as she eased her legs around his hips, “I don’t plan on leaving you either.” She sighed as she slowly leaned her head in and kissed him, loving the sound of his pleased rumble as he kissed her back. It wasn’t long before their mouths opened and their tongues flowed together, dancing and twirling in each other’s mouths in a way both beautiful and obscene. Kimahri turned around and slowly sat Yuna down on the edge of the hot spring before pulling away from her. Yuna looked him up and down before grinning and saying, “You’re hard again.”

“Kimahri never went down,” he rumbled, “Never go down for Yuna.” He smiled at her before spreading her legs open and easing his cock into her, slowly. The two groaned softly as he pushed his way into her core until their hips were pressed snugly against each other. “Kimahri last long time this time,” said Kimahri. He slowly pulled out before slowly pushing back in. Yuna let out soft gasping cries at the slow, loving pace that Kimahri was giving her as she arched her back, holding herself up by barely holding onto his hair.

“H-harder!” gasped Yuna, loving the feel of the slow pace, but getting annoyed by the gentleness of his thrusts. Kimahri growled as he grabbed her hips and started thrusting harder and faster. “No!” cried Yuna, “Slow, but hard!” She placed a hand on his cheek, adding, “We want this to last a long time, right?”

“Yuna…” rumbled Kimahri. He pushed her onto her back and leaned over her, pushing her legs up over her body so he could go deeper into her body as he started to jab his cock into her.

“Yes!” cried Yuna with each thrust. “Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! That’s it! That’s the way! Just like that! Oh Yevon, your cock feels so good!”

“Yuna feels good too!” growled Kimahri. He slammed his hips into her and held himself there before giving her a few quick, hard thrusts and holding himself in place again. “Yuna is most beautiful female ever! Kimahri has always wanted Yuna! And now Yuna belongs to Kimahri!” He roared as he started slamming into her again and again, a new fire in his eyes that Yuna had never seen before.

“That’s right,” she hissed as she moved her hips in time with his. “I am yours now. All yours to do with as you want. So please cum! Yevon, I want to see you cum!”

“Yuna!” roared Kimahri as he pulled out of her just as his orgasm started, shooting his huge load all over her body. Strands of white goo landed on her chest, her stomach, her legs and arms and some even made it to her face. And when he was almost done, he made sure that the last of it was centered directly on her pussy. Kimahri panted as he came down from his orgasmic high, before sitting down in the spring with a huge splash, his eyes never leaving Yuna, who was rubbing his cum into her body and licking whatever she could get from her face and hands. “Yuna…” he panted causing her to slowly sit up and look at him.

“Kimahri,” said Yuna as she slowly sat up and slid into the water with him. “That was wonderful.” She bit her lip before adding, “but I think we should probably clean up and head back to the village before they send out a search party.”

Kimahri chuckled a little before saying, “Ronso people know better than to look for one who does not wish to be found.”

“What about Paine?” asked Yuna.

Kimahri thought about her question for a bit before saying, “Fair point. Kimahri help Yuna wash off.” So saying, he dipped his hands into the hot water and before gently massaging her breasts, as if to wipe the cum off of them.

“Mmmmm…” murmured Yuna. “I think I’m going to like taking baths with you!”

******************************************************************

The process of getting cleaned up excited them both enough that they fucked again in the hot spring, thereby having to clean up again. But then, they reluctantly redressed before heading down the mountain, only stopping once when Kimahri couldn’t hold himself back anymore and threw her against the mountain wall, fucking her senseless, but having enough sense to pull out so she could quickly swallow his erection, followed by his cum. She couldn’t walk after that intense fuck session, so Kimahri hefted her onto his back and carried her the rest of the way. When they arrived, they were met by both Paine and Nurvy. Paine merely arched an eyebrow, but when she saw Yuna smiling, she shrugged and went about her business. Nurvy, on the other hand, asked in a tone of voice that just oozed calm, rational thought, “Are Elder and Yuna done dallying together?”

Kimahri and Yuna looked at each other before looking back at Nurvy and, at the exact same time, saying, “No.”

This time it was Nurvy who arched an eyebrow. “Yuna and Elder, now mated pair?” she asked.

“Yep!” said Yuna happily.

Nurvy glowered at Yuna’s smiling face before sniffing loudly and walking away without comment. Yuna stuck her tongue out at Nurvy’s retreating back. “Nurvy was hoping for your position,” said Kimahri, making Yuna stick her tongue out at the leaving Ronso even more.

“She never stood a chance…did she?” asked Yuna.

“No, she didn’t,” said Kimahri, making Yuna hug him so tightly that she almost throttled him.

******************************************************************

That night, after they had announced their coupling to the entire village to much rejoicing and celebrating, the two quietly returned to the tent that used to be Kimahri’s but would now be considered Yuna’s as well. “That went over a lot better than I thought it would,” said Yuna. “I figured it would be some big taboo to have an interspecies relationship like this among your people. It sure will be with mine…”

“Ronso people not think of Ronsos and Humans as different species,” said Kimahri. “Ronso people and Human people are all people in eyes of Ronso. Even when Ronso were at war with Guado, Guado were still people in eyes of Ronso.”

“That’s a beautiful way of think, Kimahri,” said Yuna.

“Besides,” Kimahri went on, “Kimahri is more surprised at how well Paine took news. Paine seemed…jubilant…”

“Paine was drunk off her ass,” said Yuna with a giggle. “And besides, I think she knew this would be the outcome once we came here. Our little goth friend set us up!”

“Then Kimahri and Yuna should thank Paine properly when see Paine next,” said Kimahri. “Does Yuna know where Paine went?”

“I think I saw her trying to console Nurvy during the celebration,” said Yuna with a grin.

“Did it work?” asked Kimahri.

Just then there was a loud roaring cry of “Yes, Yes, YES!!!” coming from the direction of Paine’s tent. It was obviously Nurvy’s voice.

“I’d say so, yes,” said Yuna. “Can you believe that she tried to make it seem to me like we had no chance together?”

“Kimahri know why Nurvy did that, but cannot believe that Nurvy would lie so blatantly,” said Kimahri.

“What do you mean?” asked Yuna.

“Kimahri did not want to mention this, but…” started Kimahri before sighing and plowing on. “Meetings that Kimahri was going to were about Kimahri finding mate.”

“Really?” asked Yuna.

“Ronso wanted Kimahri to choose a mate, but Kimahri would not choose, and Yuna’s name came up in discussion,” said Kimahri.

“Mine?!” asked Yuna, “Why me?”

“Ronso believe in fated pairings,” said Kimahri. “Kimahri elder of tribe because of Yuna, Yuna finder of Lian and Ayde, Kimahri and Yuna stoppers of war between young Ronso and Guado people. Ronso think Kimahri and Yuna good for each other. Strong people who will bring about strong children.”

“Ch-Children?” asked Yuna quietly, suddenly losing all of her giddy energy. “Is that even possible for us?”

Kimahri looked at Yuna, who suddenly looked really shy, blushing, clasping her hands between her legs and not being able to look at him anymore. Kimahri smiled a little at how cute she looked before crawling over to her and stroking her hair slightly. Yuna’s breathing increased at his touch and she jumped slightly when his hands went to her shoulders and slowly eased her onto her back. He crawled on top of her, looked down at her blushing face and whispered, “Why don’t we find out?”

Yuna’s breath caught in her throat as she watched him pull his loincloth to the side, showing his full-mast erection, pointed right at her. “I don’t see a problem with that,” she replied in a trembling whisper as she wrapped her arms and legs around him, pulling him to her.

******************************************************************

8 months later

“Are you sure you should be here?” asked Paine blankly.

“Hey, I’m still part of YRP!” said Yuna defensively. The three were aboard the bridge of the Celsius, trying to decide what to do next.

“You’re also starting to show,” said Rikku quietly as she nervously looked at Yuna’s belly. She still felt guilty about the whole ordeal with Tidus. Going to Besaid with him all that time ago had been completely innocent to them both, but when they found out how upset she’d been, they both realized that it could have been taken the wrong way, even though Rikku would never betray her cousin like that. When they came back, Yuna was suddenly with Kimahri and now she was gonna have his kid! It was all too much. Wakka was a little creeped out by it, but Lulu acted like it was the most natural thing in the world, as if she had been expecting it. Tidus had been really upset when he found out, but he saw how happy she was and couldn’t bring himself to be too angry. Adding to that the fact that Tidus and Rikku had never really thought of each other in any way other than as close friends, the sudden accusation, as light as it was at the time, suddenly changed things between them. They weren’t able to joke around as much because it was as if they had noticed each other for the first time. Rikku had always thought that Tidus was kind of cute, but he was already with Yuna before she’d really gotten to know him. And now, he was gone…left during the night, leaving only a note saying that he was going to stay away until he could look Yuna in the eye again without feeling let down.

Even as she sighed, she felt Yuna’s hand on her shoulder. “Buck up,” she said. “We’re supposed to be doing this for fun and profit, if you’re not smiling, where’s the fun in getting profit?”

“I guess,” said Rikku, “but…”

“I know,” said Yuna, “Hopefully he won’t keep you waiting as long as he did for me.”

“You knew?” asked Rikku, “I mean…we never…not until…”

“I know, Rikku,” said Yuna gently. “I know you didn’t and I’m sorry for getting upset with you like I did…but it all worked out for the best.”

“Except, of course, that Brother refuses to even look at you anymore,” said Paine, causing the three girls to sigh and look at the Al-bhed that was currently sulking in the driver’s seat.

“So…where are we going anyway?” asked Rikku, “We don’t really have a set destination anymore.”

“Why don’t we just find a place on the map and see where it takes us?’ asked Yuna. “One last adventure with the gullwings before I have to take maternity leave.”

“Fine with me,” said Paine with a shrug.

“I’m all for it!” said Rikku, finally getting her hyper energy back.

“Then let’s go!” said Yuna.

The End…for real…

(I know, bad ending. I wanted to end it with the end of the next to last segment, but I needed to point out a few things and couldn’t do it without adding the last segment…and then I didn’t know how to cap it off…so…bad ending. Anyway, Kimahri got his lovin’s this year, this time from me! I LOVE this pairing. It’s sooooo much better than a hottie like Yuna being with that loser, Tidus. Anyway, see you next time when I actually write Gamerz Fantasy X!)
