Chapter 1 Kilika

Disclamer: I do not own final fantasy 10.

Constructive criticism if you please.

Parings: OC/OC and Rikku/Yuna hopefully

Warning: real time battles probably with blood and guts. Later Girl Girl relationship. Some small bondage reverences, don't like don't read or just skip those bits.

Having arrived at Kilika temple and taken care of the massive Sinspawn that had appeared, Lady Yuna and her guardians witnessed an unexpected sight. Near the entrance to the main hall of the temple up near a pillar several priests moved around a figure that was slumped against it. Yuna ran over to see if they needed any help, or perhaps a sending, closely followed by Kimarhi. It had been the giant blue furred, bipedal lions duty to defend Yuna for the last ten years, and wasn't about to leave her unprotected from a potential threat. Yuna in her kimono and weird eyes one blue the other green, addressed herself to one of the nearby priests.

"I am the Summoner Yuna from the isle of Besiade, is there anything I can do to help?" she said having managed to get their attention.

"You can help by leaving him alone and doing what you came here for," said an incredibly rude red-haired girl, wearing a pair of blue trousers and a dark blue top, the thing that surprised Yuna most of all was this girl had eyes like her own.

"Now Willow, is that anyway to treat a summoner," asked the man, who was now leaning against the pillar, weakly. He had waist long black hair, dark green eyes and was wearing black shirt and trousers, with a sword on his hip. The priests were still fussing over him, pulling at his shirt, which seemed to be wet.

"Sorry, Dazar, I did not know. Please accept my apologies lady Yuna," Willow replied looking at the ground ashamed.

"Your forgiven, it was a simple mistake. Are you alright sir?" replied Yuna, asking after Dazar at the end.

"I'll live, that Sinspawn cut up my chest a little, I've had worse," Dazar replied shrugging.

"We are taking the boat to Luca later today, I doubt that wound would stop him. I guess we might see you later Yuna, I could not become a summoner but we are going to journey to Zanarkand if you like we could travel together," Willow explained before taking Dazar's hand and leading him down the steps away from the temple.

"What a strange pair, think we should take them up on their offer?" muttered Yuna after a minute, Kimarhi silent as always just shook his head.

Kilika Woods.

Dazar is leaning against a tree tugging at his bloody shirt, Willow is sitting on the ground looking around from time to time, making sure no fiends were sneaking up on them. "That was great Willow, do you think Yuna would let us join her. Or will she need more convincing?" Dazar said pulling off his shirt and examining the cuts on his chest.

"She might and she might not, we can ask after this tournament in Luca, what is Blitzball anyway?" replied Willow trying not to shake upon seeing Dazar's wounds. It wasn't that she didn't like the sight of blood; it was more that she couldn't stand to see her loves injuries. The other thing was that she was intimately aware of what Dazar was feeling, along with physical state and when apart knowledge of where he was. This worked two ways as Dazar also received the same information, it used a magical source called The One Power to create a permanent bond. The thing was called the Warder bond, according to Dazar anyway, both of them were able to mask it if they so chose; yet never did. Currently Willow could feel every cut on Dazar's chest stinging as his regeneration ability kick in.

"Blitzball? It is basically underwater football with the violence of ice hockey," explained Dazar briefly, wincing as his wounds healed up the rest of the way.

"Sounds interesting," said Willow unenthusiastically. Dazar shook his head and pulled his shirt back on and lifted his sword.

"If you don't like it you don't have to watch, we have to be there for the last match thou, fiend attack," replied Dazar. Having reached the central path they walked down towards the exit of the forest. Suddenly a rustle and scream came from behind and a giant plant burst from the forest. It was big round had three feet and a four clawed tentacles, around the middle some petals made it look like it had a tutu. One of the tentacles wrapped around Willow's waist and then flung her into a tree. Dazar had his sword out in a flash and blocked the monsters slash at him. He could tell that Willow was alright, just stunned, and rounded on the monster grinning this was going to be fun.

Yuna and the others had finished at the temple very quickly and were making their way back to Kilika port. The sound of battle reached them, Tidus ran towards the sounds, Yuna thought he was a moron, cute but a moron. Once they had caught up they found him arguing with a red-haired girl.

"Yuna, thank god, this moron won't stop trying to join Dazar fighting that monster," said the red-haired girl said once she spotted them.

"It's an Ochu, Luzzu said that even a hundred crusaders can't beat it," explained Tidus. Yuna and Lulu gasped.

"So what, a thousand crusaders couldn't beat Dazar," replied the girl. Jaws dropped. Yuna recovered the quickest.

"So you're saying that even with that chest injury he can beat that thing?" Yuna asked the girl that she had now remembered was called Willow.

"Take a look," replied Willow taking a step to the side. The ochu had one tentacle pushing down on the sword that Dazar held, it swung back it's second tentacle and swung it forward. Dazar took one hand off the hilt of his sword and just as the other tentacle made contact with his back a blade, made of fire, sprung forth and blocked it.

He smirked and a wave of white-hot flame ran up the tentacle burning it to a crisp, regrettably he wasn't paying enough attention to the clawed end. The claw on the end of the newly roasted tentacle constricted cutting into his back, screaming Dazar ripped it from his back. This gave the ochu enough time to try and retreat, unfortunately for it Dazar had some long range sword techniques, focusing energy along the blade of his sword he swung it down. Appearing along the arc of his swing was a wave of razor sharp air that flew forward, it cut the Ochu in half and slammed into a nearby tree. Yuna looked at Willow and was surprised to see tears of pain in her eyes and was clutching at her right shoulder, the same one Dazar had been wounded.

"Are you ok?" Yuna asked the hunched over girl.

"I'll explain later, for now you have white magic right? Go heal him," replied Willow. Dazar walks over shrugging his shoulder a bit trying to get feeling back, however blood was flowing out of the wound and down his back.

"I don't think her magic is powerful enough for this, if you can concentrate enough Willow your going to have to Heal me," he said. Yuna and the others looked at Willow curiously.

"We will explain later," she said from the look on Dazar's face she changed her statement, "Well I will anyway". She reached out and took Dazar's head in her hands. A second later the wound had completely healed without a scar, Dazar did look a little drained.

"We should go or we will miss the boat," said Dazar sheathing his sword, Yuna could have sworn that there wasn't a sheath for the sword a second ago.

A/N violent eh? This takes place after my Harry Potter and W.I.T.C.H story.
