"Any Luck?" Lulu asked as her husband, Wakka walked through the flap that poised as a door. She looked into his tired, worried eyes; He seemed to have aged overnight. "What did you find?" She asked, instantly recognizing her husband's tells. Wakka held up a small, braided piece of material.
"Tidus found this," he replied. Lulu gave a small gasp at the object.
"It could be anybody's," she said, "A lot of people started wearing them when Yuna defeated sin.
Wakka let his gaze fall back to the unmistakable item. "It's her's, Lu." Wakka said quietly, "Yuna was the only one here with it."
Lulu looked again, then slowly took the braided material from Wakka's trembling hand. She watched as brown hair fell toward the ground.
"Who would do such a thing?' Lulu asked, "Who would want to snatch Yuna?"
"We don't know if she was snatched" Wakka said, "Maybe she cut it off, you know, got tired of it, ya?"
"Don't be foolish!" Lulu snapped, "We both know that would be the only reason she didn't come whom last night. Rikku already talked to Kimari, and she had no plans to go see him. Even if she did, she would have told us."
"I know," Wakka said, "I just don't want to believe it. Why would somebody take Yuna?" I told her not to walk around at night alone!"
"It's not her fault, wakka. Nothing like this has ever happened here." Lulu said.
"What about that incident in Luca?" Wakka asked, "They found her dead!"
"That was over twenty years ago" Lulu replied, we were barely toddlers."
"What if he's come back?" Wakka asked, "He'd better not hurt her! If he does, I'll kill him!"
"Me too," Lulu said as she embraced Wakka, "I miss her too. I'm scared, but we won't find her standing here. We need to go check in with the others."
"Yeah," Wakka said quietly into Lulu's ear, "I left Tidus down at the beach. He said he'd meet us at the Crusader's Lodge."
For a second they just stood there as one, feeling as if they'd lost a child.
