NO FLAMING! DON'T LIKE IT? DON'T READ IT

Chapter 5: why am I here?

"So it would seem. How did you find your way in here, if you don't mind me asking that is" Baralai said calmly. Sada leapt up and backed away from Baralai, as if he was about to hurt her. She looked a little scared then calmed down when she saw him raise and watch her.

She fiddled with her hands a little, looking at the ground as she did so. "I dunno if you'll believe me if I tell you" As childish as she was most of the time, she knew that what had just happened, sounded quiet silly and dream like, in fact she started to question if this was a dream or if it was real

"Well, try me" Baralai said with a small smile. "I'll listen"

Sada looked up at him and turned slightly red. "Tysh oui, Oro" She nodded then told Baralai everything that had just happened to her. She finished and stuttered " I.. I.. I can understand if you think it's crazy" She said sheepishly, her face slightly redder than before.

Baralai nodded and took a few steps closer to her, his arms now behind his back. " I never said I didn't believe you. While it does sound out there. I do believe you."

Sada blinked, confused "you.. You do? Why?"

"Your brother said you have troubles lying. And by all means, it doesn't sound like you lied."

"Your not going to tell my brother I was here are you?" She asked him.

"No" He said with a smile "I won't tell a soul. I'll figure something out to tell your brother" He looked slightly over his shoulder. "I think we should start to get you home" He said as he glanced back at her. "You are coming right?" Sada looked a little surprised, but nodded and sprinted towards him.

"Are you annoyed by me?" She asked him.

"Annoyed? No you haven't done anything to annoy me. Why would you think that?"

"Oh it's just.. Nothing.."

Baralai dropped the conversation and walked out of the room, followed by Sada. "I'll walk you home ok? It's quiet a walk yes. But that doesn't bother me, I need some air"

For the whole walk through the rest of Bevelle, the Macalania woods, and most of the walk through the thunder plains, Sada and Baralai said not a word. And it wasn't un till about 3 yards away from Guadosalam that Baralai broke the silence "is something bothering you? Your brother says you usually talk a lot."

"Oh" Sada looked up at Baralai "oh no. I'm just thinking" The truth was. She still felt guilty about having fallen for Baralai. She knew Oro told her to move on, but she still had feelings for him too. " Can I ask you something?"

"Of course"

" Is it wrong to love someone, when you still love another… who has passed away?"

"No. I don't believe so. Unless a person had loved both people while the latter was still a live"

"Oh no. I didn't mean it like that.. It's just.. Oh never mind" Sada said as her face turned slightly red again. Upon reaching Guadosalam everything fell silent again. It was Sada, who spoke, once on the Shoo Puff. "Baralai, Do you like blitz ball?" She asked him.

"Well of course who doesn't? I just don't have time to go see games anymore. You're on the Al Bhed team am I right?"

"Uh huh" She said as she glanced over the side of the shoo puff. "There's so much Machina one can scrap from here! I'd love to do that!" Excitement filled her voice as she whipped around to Baralai "Machina isn't bad you know. It's just how people use it. If we use it for good then everything will be ok."

Baralai just smiled at her. "I'm not sure if one could take the machina from the Moonflow."

"Oh. I never thought of that. We probably wouldn't be allowed huh? Can't you make it so?"

"I wouldn't want to upset the people, Sada" Baralai said once the Shoo Puff stopped. They got off and walked down the path around the Moonflow.

"Isn't it pretty here? I remember when Gippy and I were little he use to take me here a lot. It was always quiet here, so it made it easier to be here. 2 years ago when Gippy left to go to the crimson squad, I left the Bikanel Desert, I never thought I'd never see home like it was before I left. I tried to fit in everywhere, but being Al Bhed it wasn't easy. Once Yuna defeated Sin I returned back home to see that it wasn't the same. So Gippy started the Machine faction once Djose temple was emptied. I came with him too, As did other Al Bhed." Sada turned her head up towards Baralai only to notice that they were extremely close to Djose temple and the sun was now setting.

Baralai just smiled at her saying nothing. "I'm sure Gippy will take you back home once we reach Djose"

"Oh no I'll leave you here"

"B.. Baralai.. It's safer for you to fly on our airship.. You won't run into fiends. Just please come to the temple and let Gippy take you home…" She said as she stopped in front of the first bridge "You can see the temple right now.. It's a long walk by yourself and it's getting late"

"All right" He said simply. As he did so Gippal came walking up to them.

"Did you get lost again Sada?" He said with a chuckle "Baralai, what are you doing here?"

"I went out for a walk and ran into your sister in Guadosalam. She said she was getting a few supplies there" Sada nodded in agreement to this once Gippal looked at her "so I decided to walk her home. You don't seem glad to see me"

"Nah, it's not that I was just wondering. I'll give you a ride home." Gippal said as he looked back at his sister. "I didn't know where you went, you just disappeared. Fred's waiting for you. You should probably go check on him"

Sada nodded sprinted off a little, turned back around, and looked at Baralai "Thank you for walking me home" She said as she turned back around and ran off.
