Disclaimer: (don't you just hate the thing? It gives the story such a dull beginning!)

     This is my very first FFX-2 fic, and I'm mainly thinking of putting all the possible pairings as well as focusing on the Paine x Baralai, Rikku x Gippal, and Nooj x Leblanc, but I'm also adding my usual mix, romance + humor + slight action/adventure and usual daily problems and the tiniest bit of spoilers from broth FFX and FFX-2, so in case you haven't finished nether then I don't think you should read this, I finished the game 93% so far so I am yet to see Tidus's big ending… only then will I think of a Yuna x Tidus fic, besides! I feel that Brother needs to be a bit manlier with Yuna anyway! : D

BTW, I'll be putting Al Bhed alongside their translation, okay? : D Anyhow… on with the fic!

================================

Chapter One:

~*~*~*~*~

Location: Spira - Guadosalam - Chateu Leblanc

Early morning - Autumn

'Sigh…'

     Two men stood side by side at tables of three, the tables provided a wonderful view of fruits of all shapes and sizes from all over the world, and the fruits were piled up neatly besides and over each other for a more appetizing view. The two men wore similar clothes that fit their size and length. The first man was tall and thin with eyes so slanted they almost look like only two slits in his Asian looking face, he wore a set of clothes that consisted of purple and blue, he also wore a strange hood with straps that hid the rest of his head, only his face was visible from under it, the rest of his head were hidden. The other man was short and round, fat you might even say, with a set of similar appearance and colors of the tall man, but he was different with the huge, round armor-thing over his back.

"Well, maybe things would get better now?" the short man, also known as Ormi began the conversation.

"You imbecile, Nooj is missing, again! How can it possibly be better?" Logos, the tall man replied.

"Gee I dunno, maybe a short brake?"

"Sigh… you're such a dolt."

"Well we've already got rid of Vegnagun, where'd he go this time?"

"I wish I knew, for the boss's sake."

"Logos! Ormi!" the leader shot from the second floor, "Get your hides up here right now!"

"Ee! It's the boss!" the short man whimpered, startled and alarmed, "Hey- Hey- Hey! You don't think we'd be getting the Heel, do ya?" he asked in worry.

The tall, thin man sighed, "It is highly possible. She has been in a nasty mood lately."

"HEY! You two listening?" the loud leader shirked, rage clear in her high-pitched voice.

"Coming boss!" the two men cried as they rushed up the stairs.

     Upon arriving at the second floor, the two men passed through the double door and into their leader's bedroom. First thing you'd notice about the room, besides the soft light and circular bed and walls, is the life-sized statue of a man with metal parts that was kept safe in the far side of the room. The leader of the syndicate is no other than Leblanc, a young, blond woman with a bright violet outfit that exposed more than covered, her giant fan was open and waving at her thigh where she stood in front of the giant statue.

"Alright, boys." She began in a low voice, not turning to them, "Where is it?" she hissed, anger clear in her voice.

"Where's what, boss?" Ormi asked, clueless.

"My Sphere? Which one of you took my sphere?" she shot, twirling around to face them, comically with veins popping over her head, giving her beautiful face many frightening wrinkles.

"Now boss! You know getting angry ruins your beauty!" Logos soothed, hopefully to cool the leader just a bit.

The blonde woman's left brow twitched, she squeezed her blue eyes tightly before drawing in a deep breath, "Whew…" she sighed and brushed back a few bangs, tucking them behind her ear, "Right, well now. Which one of you took my sphere?" she asked, less angry but still a hiss.

"Um, how does it look like?" Ormi asked while crossing his arms only to receive a smack from Logos back side the head, "Ow~ Hey!"

"You dolts! It's a sphere! It is round and orange and shiny!" the blonde leader cried with fury, sending her fan to smack against the short man's hood, "If not a pink one with my trademark on it than how else would it look like?" she scolded.  

Ormi's eyes widened in terror when she drew back the fan, the man felt his head, and mentally he thanked the lord he had the hood on when he did. Then again, he never took it off anyway.

Groaning in anger, the woman strode back to the statue and started whining like a sad puppy, "Oh Noojie-woojie! Where did you go and leave me? Everything's been going from bad to worse ever since you left me!" she whimpered, hugging the glass that shield the statue.

Comically, hearts and roses started blooming in a heart-shaped frame over her.

Logos and Ormi gained huge sweat drops.

There was knocking on her bedroom door, three femme-goons walked in with their flashy red uniforms.

"Ma'am! A messenger from the Youth League had delivered this sphere for you." A familiar voice told.

The other two femme's stayed back, silent.

"The Youth League?!" the blonde leader squealed, quickly zooming to the femme-goon and snatched the orange sphere, never noticing how her sudden speed caused the two men to spin like whirlwinds, "Why, it must be from my Noojie-woojie!" she squealed again, hugging the orange ball happily.

The femme comically gained a sweat drop and silently left.

Logos noticed that and followed, watching the trio female-members leave the Chateu.

Ormi for that matter stayed with the boss to watch the sphere.

~* Logos's point of view *~

     I don't recall hearing that woman's voice before; then again, the voice feels familiar. I stepped out of the Chateu and asked the goons of the trio women, one of them told me that they left Guadosalam and headed to Thunder Planes. The Thunder Planes, now that's a dreadful place, the boss kept teasing me as a thunder-attracting human; it's not my fault I'm so tall!

Wait! I see the trio at the entrance of the planes, one of them is taking off her mask, she-

"Oh my- !" I gasped in terror; it was that annoyingly perky little blonde! It's that bratty Al Bhed girl!

"Huh?" the perky girl spun around to face me, her oddly-done hair swayed as she moved, "Oh! If it isn't mister pervert!"

"The name is Logos, girl." I said quietly, 'I'm not a pervert! I just have a weak spot for pretty women!'

"Oh yeah? Well the name is Rikku, pervert!" she spat back with a smile.

'She's getting on my nerves already.' I thought in grimace, "Why did you do that? Sneak in as syndicates, I mean." I asked with a frown, 'It had better not be a trick, girls.'

"Um, well…" one of the other two women took off her mask, it was the Gullwings leader herself, High summoner Yuna, she gave that coy smile of hers while she spoke, "It's kinda hard to explain." She told.

"I'm listening." I crossed my arms and waited.

 "Just make it quick." The third woman took off her mask revealing the last member, that ruby-eyed warrior, 'I never could pin down her name, though.'

The trio eyed each other hesitantly before the ruby-eyed woman sighed. 

"Well," slipping out of the syndicate uniform and back to her usual outfit, the odd-eyed summoner smiled again and then tilted her head the tiniest bit, "next week is Vidina's very first birthday, I asked Wakka if we could invite any friends and he said it was alright."

"So~" the perky Al Bhed girl sung, "It's time to par-tee! It's our next mission to find a suiting gift for Vidina!"

"Yeah, and, um, I was hoping that- maybe Leblanc would come?"

"So that sphere isn't from the Youth League, is it?" I frowned in displeasure, 'Oh the boss is going to burst, I just know it.'

"Actually, it has Noojie-woojie!" the blonde youth giggled, teasing, "We knew that if we asked her personally she's just brush us off and wont come, but if she got the invite from someone she simply adores then it's a sure she'll come!"

"Besides," the summoner smiled again, "I personally want her to come to Besaid, I don't think she's been there before, right?"

"You're a devil." I couldn't help but mutter, "Using the Meyvn to lure her in like that."

"I'll take that as a complement." The blonde giggled.

'I wonder what the sphere really contains, though.'

~* Ormi's point of view *~

'I wonder where Logos went. He has this strange habit of leaving me with the boss sometimes, I wonder why.' I look at the boss and she looks so happy with the sphere and all, she collected herself and turned to me with a funny look, shrugged to herself and turned the sphere.

"Oh! It's my Noojie-Woojie!" she squealed again.

'I still don't see what she likes in the guy; he's just so- cold!'

     Nooj's voice came a bit fuzzy with the spheres disturbed waves. The sphere clearly showed a view of a nice, quiet little village with tent-like huts on each side, there was a temple in the background, dunno what kind though; in the middle of the village was a flat stone that looked pretty smooth, I could've swore I heard whispering and giggles but still I couldn't make them out. In the center of the screen stood Nooj, he obviously looked irritated and annoyed, pestered even, the look on his face practically said 'Get this damn sphere away from me!' he ran his fingers through his brown hair once before I noticed the boss's face suppressing another squeal.

"I can't believe I'm doing this…" was the first thing I heard him say, he cleared his throat and eyed the sphere again while there were faint whispers besides him, he murmured something I couldn't make out before he continued, "Leblanc," he smoothly called, the word came out a shock to the boss, the sudden gasp she made almost had me thinking that something had just ripped right through her throat! "in case you're wondering, I'm at a place that's safe, you needn't worry." He told with a faint smile, "A friend of the Gullwings is celebrating his first child's very first birthday, and-" he paused, 'Quite dramatic, the look on the boss's face, that is.' "I- was wondering, if you were able to come?" he told, "The birthday would be next week from now on Besaid beach, so I hope you'll be there. But-!" he said sternly, "I said I'll be there, but I'm not very sure if I'll be able too." He informed.

All of a sudden, it broke transmission and the boss just stared at it for a few minutes.

'Okay… the last line was a complete turn off…' I looked at the boss's face, 'Then again, with this sphere with Nooj all over it ain't such a turn off after all.

~* Leblanc's point of view *~

'It's my Noojie-woojie! He sent me an invite to a party! Oh! I'm so excited!' I mentally screamed, I sat on my bed and looked at the sphere in my hands, the fluttering of my heart causing heat to spread all over my body, the heat was suffocating, I bet Ormi could sense it.

'Oh My- !' "Hey!" I snapped at the fat man, why is he still here! I wanna muse over my Noojie-woojie in privacy! "You may leave."

"Um, you sure boss?" he asked, giving me this strange look.

"Out!" I snapped, 'What's it to you, anyway!'

"Sure boss!" the fat guy ran out in a hurry, closing the door behind him.  

     I sighed, looked down at the sphere with my beloved man and then it hit me. 'I'm still missing the other sphere!' I knot my brows, I knew I had it in my drawer somewhere, but when I looked for it, I either misplaced it, or those damn Dull-Err? I mean the Gullwings have snuck into my Chateu again and stole my sphere! I had that sphere especially shot over my Noojie-wooji in secret! If he ever found out about it he might get crossed at me, and I simply don't want that, I'm just too oh-so-charmed!

'Try- Obsessed!'

     I placed down the sphere on the dresser and walked up to the statue I love so much, I love the thing because it resembles the real male beauty so much. Noojie-woojie is just so beautiful, and I'm not the only victim, there is a ten-page list of women that would give anything to get as close as I have to him, and they so happen to be in the youth League, too. There is this Lucile lady, a bit straight-forwards and blunt, not my type, and then there is Elma, I just hate that cocky dame! Then there is the rest of woman that woo over my Noojie!

     Never forget the Gullwings warrior, Paine, I have no idea who that dame is, where she came from or how the hell she knows more about Noojie than I could ever gather, I hate her to the gut because I couldn't help but notice that my Noojie always notices her when she's around, but never notices me when I'm around unless I make it clear enough. It's like her means to ignore me and completely focuses on that dame's presents!

     Why? Why the hell does he do that? Am I not enough for him? I'm prettier than she is, there is no way she can beat me when it comes to beauty, as for battle, 'Well… I simply suck, don't I?' I hung my head for a minute before looking up into the eyes of stone. 'Oh Nooj, what am I supposed to do to make you notice me? Am I doing something wrong? Is it me, or something about me? Or- I don't spark any interest in you?'

"Why wouldn't you love me?" I faintly whispered, my temple touched the cold glass as I whispered to the silence that filled my ears.

A/N: Whoa! My first FFX-2 fic! O_O; I'm a Nooj x Leblanc freak so bare with me, and besides! I don't think this category has enough fics about those two, anyway!
