LONGING

CHAPTER ONE

Longing, kindness, warmth, love. That's what the beautiful, dark dressed woman was feeling as she gazed with starry eyes at the man she had truly been in love with for years.

"Pull it together Lulu," she said to herself as she shook her head, trying to remove all thought of Wakka out of her mind. She quickly regained her sophisticated composure, and gracefully walked over to were her best friend, Yuna, sat.

"You're doing it again," Yuna, said.

"Doing what?" Lulu calmly replied.

"Every time Tidus and Wakka start to play Blitzball, you stand around watching Wakka's every move, you stand around watching Wakka's every move. You torture yourself. It can't be good for your health."

Her intentions were good, and Lulu knew that. Yuna just didn't understand, and truthfully Lulu hoped she never would.

"Listen every one!" Auron yelled in his I'm-the-leader-so-you'd-better-watch-out voice, "I know that we haven't had a long rest but we need to get a move on okay?" Every one agreed, they wanted to make as much progress as soon as possible, plus, no one had the guts to sand up at Auron.

They had all just got through helping Yuna with her pilgrimage, and decided to go with Kimahri to Mt. Gagazet. Afterwards, the rest of them would return to Besaid Island. As of right now, they were in the Calm Lands.

Lulu and Yuna continued their conversation as they walked behind the rest of the group.

"Lulu, you're like an older sister to me, you know that. I hate to see you look at Wakka like that with no hope in you're eyes."

Yuna was the only one that knew Lulu's true feelings.

"Well, Yuna," Lulu said, "I understand how you feel. But what do you propose I do about it? You need to understand that I can't just go up to Wakka and tell him how I feel, that would be dis-respectful to Chappu."

Chappu was Wakka's elder sibling and Lulu's ex boyfriend. He died several years before fighting in the war. Lulu never completely got over his death so she didn't want to offend him by going out with his younger brother.

"Plus," Lulu added after a short pause, "He doesn't have any other feelings for me besides brotherly love."

"How do you know that?"

"Because he has enough respect for Chappu not to."

"What makes you think that? How do you know that Wakka isn't feeling the same as you do? How do you know that the only reason he hasn't said any thing to you is because he's afraid that you'll turn him down and think less of him for offending Chappu?"

"Listen, I am a grown woman, and must treat this as such. No matter how much I want to, I can't give in to this young girls fantasy. Wakka and I can't be together so I am not going to say anything to him."

She paused after saying this. Looking sternly at Yuna she said, "And neither will you."

She then quickened her pace showing that the conversation was over
