" Umi, Fuu. I've asked you both here today for a reason. Would you two do me the honor of becoming my guardians?" Asked a timid red-head who didn't want to have her friends repreimd her.
The two in question, blue haired and eyed Umi, and golden haired, with green eyes Fuu, both stood infront of the red-head in total shock.
" Miss Hikaru. C-come again. You want us to be your guardians? I thought you became a summoner to become an Maester. You." Said Fuu, with total shock written all over her face.
" Hikaru! No! How could you do this, we can't. You can't. I don't want to lose you." Said Umi, as light tears began to run down her facee.

Hikaru took Umi and Fuu's hands in her own, and smiled.
" Yes I can Umi. I need to do this Fuu. It was the dying wish of the last two Grand Maesters of Spira. Please accept this!" She said, tightly squeezing their hands when she talked of the deceased Maesters.
Umi and Fuu both lowered, and then reluctantly nodded their heads. They had just become guardians to a new summoner.

" We first must gain Valefore. He is in the tiny isle of Besaid. Are you ready, Umi, Fuu?" Said Hikaru, cheerfully as the trio was preparing to leave Hikaru's home town of D'jose. Umi lightly smiled as she then looked at the beautiful, blue sky.
" Yeah Hikaru, we're ready." Said Umi. They then headed on a boat, the Lucae, on their way to the land that would start their journey to fight sin. They knew that it would please the High Summoner that people would keep fighting. In the High Summoner of Spira's memory they would try to keep on.
A week later after traveling on a chocobo Fuu had raised, the three found themselves in the beautifully tranquil place of Besaid.
" Wow, it's so beautiful here. This town really reminds me of......." Said Hikaru as she looked around, Umi then chuckled at Hikaru's almost slip. After that week Hikaru had made it as clear as she could that Cherpiro wasn't the first thing on her mind. The girls then walked on, and came to the temple. A young priest named Han came and greeted them with the sign of prayer, and ushered them inside to the center room. He smiled at them and told them that they must travel throught the chamber of Trials before reaching the faith. The three thanked him and went down the standing elevator that made Fuu nervous. They walked through the maze like area, and inseted the correct spheres and glyphs, all the while Fuu and Umi hoped nothing bad would happen to their good friend Hikaru.
Lastly they reached the chamber of the faith , and Hikaru went in, alone. She kneeled down and prayed, and day came to see the night. Outside the chamber, Umi and Fuu chatted softly, and Fuu's nervousness had increased tenfold.
By the next morning, Hikaru came out tired and soaked in her own sweat. Her soft boots clanked on the stairs she traveled down, and she whispered almost to her self, " I've become a summoner." She then fainted, and Umi caught her before she tumbled down the steps. Umi then gave Fuu a sad look, then slowly carried her friend to the exit.

" Miss Hikaru gave up everything after the death of the two Grand Maesters. Though I hate what she is doing to herself, I will still keep on at her side, even it...." Fuu said as Umi walked with the light Hikaru in her arms.
" Yes Fuu, we'll keep going and we'll be their for her if things become to much. I know for her that life has already become much more of a curse than a joy. We'll stay with her until the end, and we will progress our way together." Umi said solemnly. Their journey was beginning to take it's shape.


Two days later the girls had all of their supplies ready, and embarked to the second place of the pilgrimage to gain Ifrit. As they passed the town of Killica to arrive at the Killikan temple, both Umi and Fuu had the same thought on their minds. Cephiro.
The only alternative for Hikaru being a summoner in their mind was for her to remember Princess Emeraude. Umi and Fuu were actually afraid that she had FORGOTTEN Emeraude's tragic fate.
The two were wishing with all their hearts to go back to Cephiro, and they were trying hard to convince Hikaru to wish for it as well. It wasn't working.

" Umi. Fuu. Cephiro is behind us, and a pilgrimage to defeat Sin is our next goal. I know you two compare a summoner and a pilar as being the same, and in a lot of ways it is. But, this is something I need to do!" Said Hikaru, as she was walking beside Hikari.
Umi and Fuu both shook their heads, and looked up when Hikari growled.
" What's up with Hikari?" Asked Umi, looking at Hikaru for some information.
" He smells a fiend, guys. Get ready!" Yelled Hikaru, and all three took up a battle stance.
Umi with her light blue armour on, with a rapier in hand.
Fuu with a light green dress/ armour on, with a bow and arrow in hand.
And Hikaru with a short red dress on, with a upside down sycle/ staff in hand.
Hikari stood infront of Hikaru.

" Let's fight this thing!" Yelled Umi.
And they did, all in total for the day destroying fifteen fiends, from seven battles.

By the end they had made it to the Killikan temple, and Umi and Fuu stood outside the Chamber of Faith, while Hikaru prayed. When she re-emerged from the Cloister, she was in possession of the fiery Aeon, Ifrit.

" Hey I did it guys. I got Ifrit. And since I can control fire thats around me, and since Ifrit controls the element of fire as well theres an advantage. " Said Hikaru happily as she walked down the dark red steps to meet Umi and Fuu.
Umi looked a bit puzzled.
" Huh? What do you mean, Hikaru?" She asked.
" Miss Hikaru, does it mean that since your element is fire you have an elemental bond to the faith, Ifrit?" Asked Fuu. She then looked at Hikaru to see if that is what she was getting at.
Hikaru walked over to her and smiled.
" Yeah! With my abilities Ifrit can sometimes have a power bonus, meaning his strength when using Meteor Shower or Hellfire will be twice as much. He'll be great." Hikaru said, bouncing up and down on her heels with happiness.
Fuu and Umi just smiled.
" Yeah Hikaru. He'll be a strong aeon." She then laughed, and lightly scolded her friend, " Just don't rely on that too much. The boost won't always be there, you could say it is like an overdrive. A special one that combines the summoner and the aeon's abilities and souls.
So now, Hikaru Shidou, I'm warning you be careful. Don't let the aeon control you."
" Course not Umi. I'll be fine."
Then the three girls headed out of the temple and gained more supplies.
Fuu then spoke up when they were heading out of a a small shop for potions and rest.
" We're to head through the Highroad, south of Luca, ne? "
" That's right." Hikaru whispered.
" Luca? Isn't that where the cool Blitz tournament is being held in a few weeks?" Said Umi, smiling.
" Yeah!" Then a thought dawned on Hikaru. " Umi you wana stay there and participate in your all girls Bevelle league, ne?"
Umi blushed, " Well."
" You want to, don't you Miss Umi." Piped in Fuu.
" Well of course I do!" Umi burst out, a little too loudly. A few Killikans looked there way, and stared.
