Baralai: How would I know that. I'm not even in this story yet!
Tori: Oh good point... Oh Well then let's get started!

Rikku's shoes splashed in the water as she ran down Djose Highroad as
fast as she could. Rain was poring down so fast and hard it was almost
impossible to see anything up ahead. She'd gotten herself into six fiend
battle's and had to escape from each one. Thunder cracked over head.
Shinra picked a lovely time to repair her Garment Grid, she had just
finished at the youth league head-quarters and needed to be escorted there
and back. Unfortunately they couldn't help her get as far as the Djose
Temple because of machina problems. So there she was in a beige tank top,
short denim skirt, black boots and her orange scarf soaked to the bone and
chilled to boot.
The reason why she didn't just put on a new garment grid is because
all of hers where frozen, the last time she'd gone to visit the Ronso a
huge fiend attacked them and her grids fell down the mountain. By the time
she'd retrieved them they were iced and Rikku couldn't even touch them.
Where were Yuna and Paine? well Yuna was on the airship ready to pick
her up at the moon-flow and Paine was at the Yu Yevon place in Bevelle. It
seemed that there was a quarrel at Luca a week back where someone penalized
a Yu Yevon personal when they were a Youth League x-member. So a fight
began and Yuna walked right into the middle causing Paine and Rikku to tag
along, Rikku didn't complain but Paine sure did.
Rikku was ambushed by a eye fiend and had to heal herself once again,
she was running low on energy even though the Hi-Potions helped a little
they weren't enough to help her freezing body and discouraging position.
Lightning lit up the sky once again and she shivered in-voluntarily.
Suddenly when she saw the hill signalizing the end of the road she
was grabbed roughly from behind and slammed into the rocky cliff edge.
Rikku's P.O.V
I didn't have time to yell because a hand covered my mouth, I was
face to face with some drunk man I'd never seen in my whole life and he was
giving me the most uncomfortable looks. His one hand had both my hands
pinned up against the wall above me.
"I was going to kill you but you're pretty hot... maybe I'll have
some fun with you first..." His hand from my mouth ran down my body and to
the neck of my new shirt then a terrible ripping noise was heard, a shiver
of terror ran up through me.
Rain pelted my freezing, visible chest, now the only thing covering
me was my bikini top and I was sure if I didn't do something he would take
that off to.
With almost all of my strength left in me I thrust upward with my
foot and got him right in the stomach, I heard a cracking sound and was
sure I'd hit him in the rib. He stumbled but didn't let go of me, fear shot
through me once again as I noticed he was barely even panting let alone in
serious pain. So I did the only thing I could do: Scream as loud as I could
and hope someone heard me and came to my rescue.
"BITCH!" He yelled, now his hand that was holding me gripping my
throat, my hands shot up to loosen his grip but with no avail.
I was beginning to breathe hoarsely since not enough oxygen was
getting into my lungs he was caving in my throat. I squeezed my eyes shut
trying to somehow make the pain go away, I knew that wouldn't work.
His hand went around my back and he was attempting to untie my top, I
struggled again but only succeeded in making his hand tighten on my sore
and now bruised neck. Survival and freedom now seemed impossible...
Normal P.O.V
Gippal cursed aloud as he tried desperately to cover himself from the
rain, he was soaked to the bone as well, he however had a weapon plus was a
strong person with human strength.
His black imitation leather jacket wasn't keeping him warm or from
being wet at all. In fact it wasn't doing anything for him except slow him
down, but he didn't want to catch an ammonia so he kept it on.
Suddenly from just up the road an ear-piercing scream was heard above
the sound of the rain then seemed to be drowned out by a male one.
He ran faster and caught sight of what was going on just as he topped
the hill, he ran over shouted to get this guys attention then kicked him as
hard as he could in the side.
Now he was injured, Gippal had cracked or broken his fragile ribs for
sure on the one side. He staggered to regain his stance but failed
miserably he went to grab Rikku but Gippal got their first and punched him
right in the face knocking him out-cold.
He turned around and helped Rikku up, she was shaking from the cold
and fear was in her eyes, he took off his jacket and put it around her
shoulders. Just then Lucil and Elma arrived and took hold of the situation,
Gippal held her protectively close to him as the drunkard was hauled up
onto a Chokobo.
"Miss Rikku, what happened here?" Lucil asked as politely and kindly
as she could.
"He, t...tried...t..to..." Rikku trailed off and started crying
Gippal looked at Lucil and answered for her.
"It seems that this man was harassing her physically right now she
needs to be inside she's shivering, I'll take her to my apartment and Rikku
will talk with you in the morning." Rikku stopped her tears and held them
back trying to act strong so that the three would not worry.
Lucil took Elma's Chokobo and allowed Gippal and Rikku to use it, on
the way to the Djose Temple hotel she was deafly quiet.

Gippal opened the door to his apartment and let Rikku go inside first
then went into his dresser and pulled out an old button up white shirt of
his.
Rikku had stood there, tears threatening to fall down her face her
body was tired but she didn't want to sit down and get his couch all wet.
The appartment was small, there were three rooms in all. The first
was the one she was in now, a bed was in the middle of the wall to her
right with windows on both sides as well as a bed-side table on the left
side, to her immidiate right was a round table with four chairs surrounding
it, to her left was a worn black couch. Only about three meters past the
couch was a doorway which obviously led to a small kitchen but just past
that was a wooden dresser. Just beside the piece of furniture was the door
to the bathroom. There was a light-switch beside her on the wall which
turned on four dim lights. There was a lamp on the bedside table as well as
a standing one near the circular table.
He turned around, smiled at her and then grabbed a towel from the
bathroom.
"You can sit down, it's not like that old thing is worth anything
anyway," He assured her keeping his tone light although he wanted to kill
the bastard who did this to her, she sat down.
Gippal's P.O.V
I walked over to Rikku who was still shivering and hugging my wet
useless jacket to her body, I handed her the towel and sat down too. "Are
you OK, did you want to phone Paine and Yuna? I'm sure they're ready to
send out a search party by now," I suggested, even though I didn't want it
there worry was fully hearable in my tone.
She nodded numbly while pulling my jacket off her shoulders and
wrapping the towel around them instead.
I stood up, walked over to my small table and grabbed my cordless
phone then gave it to her. After she'd dialed the number I went to continue
getting her some of my old clothes to change into.
I stopped and looked back at her, the Rikku I knew was always so
happy and positive even in the worst times, but now the girl who was on my
couch; waiting for her friends to pick up on the other line of the phone
was fragile and almost helpless. I didn't know what to do for her aside
from keep her safe for the time being, I wish I could erase that horrible
memory from her mind. But it was there, and as strong as Rikku is it's
something that will haunt her for a while.
I pulled the next handle to the dresser open and began to rummage
through it trying to keep my mind occupied as she phoned Yuna and Paine,
she'd have to stay here the night because of the thunder storm, the thought
of sleeping in the same room made me blush.
Normal P.O.V
Rikku dialed the number and then waited, Brother picked up:
"RIKKU WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU WHEN YOU GET BACK,
YOU HEAR ME! KI-" Suddenly he was silence and a muffled noise was heard,
Yuna's worried voice came on the line,
"Rikku where are you?" She asked and Rikku's lips pulled up into a
sad smile
"I'm at Gippal's apartment-" She started but she heard Paine's voice
in the back round snickering.
"Holy they got that far in one night?" Paine wondered aloud and Rikku
silently wanted to pound her.
"Tell Paine to shut up for me please Yunie, and the reason why I'm
here is-" She was once again cut off by Brother who was shouting and
cursing in al bhed.
"WHAT SHE'S WHERE? NO, NO SHE IS NOT SPENDING THE NIGHT WITH THAT
PRETTY BOY, NO GOOD, SMART-ASS-" Rikku had enough she screamed back into
the phone.
"OH SHUT IT, He's way more of a man then you ever will be, and a lot
more polite and kind as well!" Yuna murmured something about not being
able to hear for a month and then gave the phone to Shinra who put it on
speakerphone.
Rikku took a long breath and then calmly told them what happened,
which but Brother into an other fit and Paine and Yuna into mother-mode.
"Rikku, are you going to be OK, I mean we could come and pick you up
if you don't feel comfortable?" Yuna asked over Brother's loud rampaging,
geesh he was way to over-protective!
Rikku's P.O.V
Brother was using the most inappropriate words in our language, it's
embarrassing saying he's my sibling but I do love him anyway. I laughed as
he swore he'd seek revenge on the guy who attempted to hurt me. The reason
why is because I could just imagine him running around the Djose Highroad
picking fights with any guy who looked at him... Then come home in about
sixty different casts and moaning to Yuna to take care of him...
Meanwhile Paine was asking me the same question Yuna had just asked,
I really didn't want to leave...
"No I'm OK, I'll stay here the night and meet you guys in the
morning," I told them and then yelled over at Brother, "Hey dumbass, did ya
here that! I'm staying here the night!" With that he shut up and I heard
footsteps come up to the screen.
"NO WAY, I WILL NOT ALLOW-" He started but I wasn't listening, I just
realized myself that I was staying here, for a whole night with a guy I've
had a crush on for three years, my cheeks were turning a nice shade of
pink. I was brought back to reality when I heard Paine yell at Brother in
Al Bhed to 'shut up' and then sighed.
"Put your phone on speaker," Paine suggested and an aggravated
stamping noise was heard, I smirked knowing that Paine had cast silence on
my brother.
I looked over at Gippal who was coming towards me with some clothes
in hand, I smiled at him and asked him how to put it on speaker-phone. He
took the cordless from me and pressed a button on the stand while setting
the phone in it.
"OK you're on," Gippal sat down in one of the chairs around the table
with his chest facing the back of the chair, one leg on one side of the
chair and the other on the opposite side, I couldn't help but stare.
He was wet, seemingly a lot more than myself, he had on a vary
different outfit from what I was used to seeing on him. He had on a white
button up shirt with a collar, casual blue pants and around his left wrist
was a silver watch. Every item of clothing was clinging to his skin,
outlining his muscular but relaxed body.
I looked away and began to listen to what Paine was saying on the
other line.
"I put silence on him so he wont interfere with this convo," She
chuckled and then quickly explained; "He's trying to make Yuna heal
him..."
