Hallo. This is a small story about Shuyin and Lenne. Because I don't feel like doing homework right now xD Oh yush. And My two other fanfics aren't dead. (Yet. Haha) I'm still trying to work on them. I just really want to get this one done and out first.
Disclaimer: I don't own FFX2. Or their characters.. but I do own some of this plot, and some of the characters.

Chapter One.
Sunset Drives Back to the Day That We First Met
A cloaked figure stood on the docks. The body giving off a glow, from the rain. Taking in the scent of the ocean breeze. Though very early, the person obviously didn't seem to care whether or not she was tired.
Zanarkand. This was it. The last day Lenne could spend here. She was leaving tomarrow for certain reasons. Though she would've like to stay, be a songstress and a summoner. Just so she could help people. She never knew that a war would take her life away. But then again... What was she to expect.
She's been thinking about writing a new song. Hoping that she could give her fans something to stick with them... forever. But her inspiration was gone. And nothing could really change that. Not now at least.
"So I see you like rainy days also?" A voice from behind said. Lenne quickly turned around, to find a boy, looking around the same age, standing there grinning. She had to say though, he looked quite silly standing there, getting himself wet like that.
Lenne nodded, though she seemed to be thinking of something else. His eyes ...seemed to be the rain itself, so crystaline, and blue. Though the word 'blue' could hardly describe the color that the orbs were. How she could get lost in them. But she quickly switching her glance back to the waters, trying to seem like she was staring.
"And I can tell that you don't mind getting sick from the rain?" She asked, with the hint of laughter in her tone. The boy shook his head.
"I don't mind. Why spend a day locked up indoors?" Lenne smiled as an agreement to his statement. It was true. There was no point to stay sad on a rainy day. Why, Lenne loved rain. They both leaned aginst the rail in front of them, taking in the scenery. It was cold and grey, yet so beautiful to the human eye. Its funny how people find some of the strangest things, grand wonders.
"So whats your name?" He asked. Blinking, Lenne turned to him. Giving him a questioning look as if wanting him too repeat the question. He chuckled slightly, he could see her expression from the corner of his eye. "I asked for your name..?"
"Oh..." She paused for a while, as if to think about what her name was, but she was really wondering if she should tell this stranger her name. "...Oh!.. Uhmm.. its Lenne." She said finally, playing around with a strand of wet hair.
"Lenne..." He said, to try out the feeling on his tounge. "My name is.. Shuyin." He too had a pause before reciting his name to her. Lenne nodded and smiled, facing him.
"Shuyin, thats a nice name. I like it." She said, adding another nod. Shuyin smiled.
"So what brings you here this lovely morning?" Shuyin asked. Lenne let out an exasperated sigh. She completely forgot about what her troubles were, until Shuyin brought them back up. As if seeming to read her thoughts he shot out a. 'Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked...'.
"Its quite alright." She sighed. She looked as if she were to cry, because her grey eyes started to tremble.
Lenne was always an easy one to cry. Whenever she thought of something sad, she would start crying. She knew it was probably 'stupid' but she did get some good songs out of it. Singing let her spread her feelings to others, like she just lifted off a heavy load of emotion so she could walk around more easily. But she didn't cry, or maybe she was. It was hard to tell because of the rain falling.
"Tomarrow, I have to leave Zanarkand. I'm not sure where I'm going, but it has something to do with the war going on right now..." Shuyin gave her a face, mixed with shock and question. "I'm a summoner, so there's the possible chance that I won't survive this." She looked down as she spoke the last few words.
"So you're thinking that this is the last time you'll get to experience a rainy day in Zanarkand?" He asked, shuffling around while his arms were still placed on the rail."
"I do believe that is the case..."
"Then you should probably spend it doing something else besides talking to me. Though I doubt that you will have trouble coming back, you seem strong enough.." Smiling he looked at her, so innocently, it was strange. Lenne was shocked at first, but she couldn't help but smile.
"I like talking to you, though." She gave him a warm smile, causing his heart to skip a beat. He just seemed to stand there, straing sheepishly. Shaking his head he faced forward again. The rain finally stopped, and it seemed to get lighter..
"So anything you want to do befoore you leave?" He asked.
The summoner was in fact, relieved that he asked this. A great opportunity to get some inspiration.
"I really want to write a song before I go, but i've been lacking inspiration.."
It was odd. Talking to him like this. Lenne never really shared a conversation with one of the opposite gender before. She was always too shy. But something was different about Shuyin she felt.
"A song?"
"Yes. I'm also a songstress.. Well not anymore it seems.. but I still love to sing and write."
"Hey!"
Lenne looked up startled by his sudden outburst.
"I have a great place where you can get some inspiration!"
"And where might that b-- OH!"Before she could even finish he dragged her off down to the beach.

"Wow."
Both of them were standing upon a hilltop. Lenne never noticed this place. She never really payed attention. And of course, the hilltop overlooked the ocean, and the sun started to peek out from the horizon. SHuyin threw a small rock out to the ocean, causing Lenne to turn around.
"How did you know about this place?"
Shuyin shrugged, he didn't exactly know how.
"I was walking around after a blitzball game, our team lost and I was angry. So I went for a walk. All of a sudden, I found this place. I go here whenever I'm in a bad mood."
"You play blitzball?" Lenne asked, as if she would've never quessed it.
"You are a summoner.. and.. whats this? A songstress too?" Shuyin said, using the same tone Lenne just used. Which just caused her to laugh-- He loved her laugh. Wait was was happening? He just met her!
"I play for the Zanarkand Abes. Or..I used to."
"Used to?" Shuyin picked up another rock and threw it.
"Yeah, It just didn't seem right. I felt like it wasn't what I was meant to do. Even if I was the star player..." He said trailing off. Then quickly, before Lenne could say anything he added in "Yes, I was the star player of the Zanarkand Abes."
Lenne stifled a laugh.
"So you're the one all those girls talk about all the time. From what I've heard you seemed like an arrogant punk that played blitzball for a living while trying to escape from a social life." The blonde was shocked. She guessed all of that just by a few girls gushing over him on the streets. But Lenne turned and smiled. "But you're not that way at all."
