Auron's Fan: Well, to respond to your review, i have LOADS of free time, and a computer in my room, but i'm TOO LAZY to type another chappie! grins while ducking chairs anyway, nice, and i would be creeped out if some RANDOM guy i had JUST met was dragging me off somewhere. I like that Wakka and Lulu are already together, so my brain doesn't have to think about HOW they got together. I mean, her last boyfriend was his brother. Wouln't be like disrepecting his spirt, or something? anyway, well done, and expect updates from me in, oh, i don't know, about when u turn about 90-99. lol, but really. Lazyness is not becoming okay shut Up Machen! just trying to help, u punk messiah Excuse ME! hehehe
That's what happens when u have conversations with guys from video games sighs well, i WOULD say update soon, but, i'm too lazy to update mine, so it would be sorta hypocritical. (wow, BIG word!(lol)) anyway, write soon!

(Well, with the whole thing about Wakka and Lulu already being married, I was kinda wondering how they got together too, because, like you said, Wakka's brother Chappu, was Lulu's ex-boyfriend until he died. Wakka and Lulu marrying after Chappu died, that would be pretty disrespectful to Chappu's spirit. I'm sure in the game Wakka was just pretending like he wasn't getting haunted by the angry spirit of his brother. scratches chin Hmm...There is another fanfiction possibilty to write..Wakka getting haunted by Chappu...hmm.. Well, anyways, I'll save that idea for later, Perhaps.)

miyu: kimahri's a dog?

(umm...maybe,.. it was the only way that I could describe him. I mean, he looks kinda like a dog to me.)

(Author's note: Me with these stupid Typos. There sure were alot of them. I bet you could have picked them out.)


Chapter 4: Yuna: Daughter of the Great Summoner Warrior (Yuna's pilgramage begins.)

The whole village of besaid was lit, by a bon-fire in the center of the town Everyone was in high-spirits, cheerful, about Yuna's recent achievement. Tidus was watching her, talking to some of the old folks in the village, from beside Wakka, who was telling the whole Blitzball team that with Tidus on their team, this year they were going to win the tournament. Hearing this made the Aurochs cheer really loud and start shouting, "Victory!" over and over again. Wakka crossed his arms and smiled. That was the first time he had seen that lousy team ever excited about going to Luca. Normally, they'd go to Luca, and then get their asses kicked by the Lucan Blitzteam, in the first match.

Yuna looked over at Tidus, hearing all the commotion caused by the Blitzball team. Tidus saw her excuse herself from the group and then make her way away from the village, and all of its festivities. Tidus followed her. In almost no time, he had been led into the temple. Yuna was bowing to the statue that Tidus had been standing in front of earlier. She looked at it for a very long time. Tidus walked up behind her. "Most recent High-summoner right? Must be your role-model." He said. Yuna jummped, she hadn't realized that somebody else was in the temple.

She nodded. "I guess everybody, see their father as a role-model." She said. She turned and smiled at the statue, of her father. Tidus rubbed his head. It was pretty hard to talk to a good-looking woman. Yuna blushed. She turned to Tidus and stuck out her hand. "I'm Yuna. Nice to meet you." She said. Tidus nodded. He was a bit hesitant to shake Yuna's hand, but he shook it anyways. "I'm Tidus." He said. Yuna nodded. " Wakka's told me about you..said you were close to Sin. I hope you are alright." She said. Tidus smiled and crossed his arms.

"I'm fine." He muttered out. Yuna smiled and looked up at him. "Hey, That Aeon thing...It was pretty awesome." Tidus said to her. Yuna clapped her hands together. "Do you think..That I could become High-Summoner like my father?" She asked. Tidus turned and shrugged. "Sure if you like following in your father's footsteps." He said. Yuna raised an eyebrow at him. Before she got the chance to ask a question to Tidus, a few people walked into the temple. "Hey, you! Stay away from the summoner!" They said. Yuna looked over at Tidus. "I guess I better go.." She said as she started to walk towards the Temple exit.

Tidus tried to stop her from leaving, but he couldn't think of anything off the top of his head to make him stay. "I guess I'll talk to you more tomorrow. I mean, Wakka said you are going to Luca with him." She said over her shoulder as she walked off with the old people who had entered the temple. Tidus just stood there in the temple for a while, until Wakka came in there. "Hey, get to bed! We leave early tomorrow." He said. Tidus nodded, and followed Wakka to the little building that was supossed to be the Crusader's hut.

Tidus began to dream. Like usual when he had dreams,everything was foggy. He was standing out on the dock, waiting for the boat with Yuna. "Uh..We miss it?" he asked. Yuna turned. She shook her head. "No, no, I told the boat to go on ahead, I'll catch up." She told Tidus, rather calmly. Tidus raised his eyebrow to this. "How? you planning on swimming all the way to where ever you have to go next?" Yuna turned and smiled at Tidus. She shook her head, "No, I can fly..." She said.

Tidus nodded sarcastically to her."Yeah, Right..sure..fly...what ever you say Yuna." He said. If he had not known he was dreaming, he would have swore that Yuna was crazy. Yuna then said. "You can take me to Zanarkand! We can fly there too." She said. At that moument Tidus heard footsteps. He turned to see Rikku, walking down the dock. "No way. You're going to fly him to Zanarkand! But, I'm supposed to take him to Zanarkand!" She said to Yuna. Yuna glared at Rikku. "He is mine, after-all." Rikku said. She seemed to stress that Tidus was her's. "So, he's going with me, and we're going to take a boat." she said.

Yuna glared at Rikku darkly. "What makes him your's?" She asked. It seemed that they both had forgotten about Tidus even being there. He was just watching them argue. He figured that it wasn't good to get in the middle of two girls bickering. Especially two girls bickering over a guy. " Tidus met me first when he arrived here from Zanarkand. He met you second. So since I saw him first, that makes him mine!" Rikku said. She put her hands on her hips and then stuck her tounge out at Yuna. Yuna gasped a bit. She then put her hands on her hips. She made a fist with one of her hands and looked ready to re-position Rikku's jaw.

"Well, I didn't see you anywhere near him, when I saw him. So...toooo baaaad, He's mine now." She said. Tidus looked at both the girls. Both were arguing over him, not like he was a person, but more like he was a spot in a long line, or a chair or something. He was just hoping, they'd stop..or he'd wake up before Yuna and Rikku started fist-fighting. Because as amusing as that would be to see, people dream fighting was a bit odd sounding to Tidus.

But that's when Tidus heard, laughing. The laughing came from none other than Jecht. His old man. When he turned to look at his father, he took note that Rikku and Yuna had switched places on him, and were now standing behind Jecht. The two of them were strangling each other. "...Stop deamin'. There ain't no way you're ever going to be with a woman! Not since that one girl left you." Jecht said. Tidus wasn't paying attention to his father very much. He was more concerned about Rikku and Yuna. Rikku was strangling Yuna, and shaking Yuna's head. "He's mine I tell you!" She shouted.

Jecht stepped infront of the fight, and looked coldly at his son. " Hey! you listening?" He asked. Tidus leaned over and looked around his father's shoulder. "Uh...dad? You going to stop those them from fighting?" He asked. Jecht turned to look at what Tidus was looking at. Yuna and Rikku were all bloody and torn up, but still fighting. "Nah..they look like they've got the situation under control." He said. They watched Yuna knock out Rikku. Then she limped her way over to Tidus. She gave a smile, and spit up some blood. She started to walk back to the edge of the dock. Tidus turned. Yuna was back to standing at the edge of the dock.

Suprisingly she didn't have a scratch on her. Tidus glanced back at where Rikku had been. She wasn't there anymore. Tidus turned back around, to see a badly injured Rikku sneaking up behind Yuna. Rikku's face sported an evil grin. "Once I push Yuna in she'll drown, and Tidus'll be all mine." she muttered darkly. Tidus really did begin to wonder if he was dreaming. Because for it being a dream, it sure was getting a little too realistic, and not to mention violent. " Yuna!" He shouted. He awoke shouting her name, just as he was about to watch Rikku shove the new summoner into the water.

The fact he was sweating, didn't suprise him. He looked around. It must have been pretty late at night, or really early in the morining, in any-case the sun had yet to rise. Tidus heard people outside talking. He snuck over to the door, so that he could listen in better, and also to see who was talking. "Wakka, Chappu is dead..and that is all there is to it. Tidus, for one doesn't look all too much like Chappu, all they have in common is, blue eyes. I don't see why you bothered bringing him here. I mean after all he probably would have ended up finding his own way here." Tidus heard Lulu say. Hearing his name mentioned, was a dead give-away to Tidus that they were talking some-what about him.

He saw Wakka rub his neck. "Yeah, I know...But he did kind of need our help...I think." He said. Lulu put her hand on her hand and sighed. "Enough, of the excuses Wakka." She said. She turned around and walked off. Wakka sighed and turned. He started walking toward the lodge where Tidus was watching them from. He apparently knew that Tidus had heard just about all of that. "Who's Chappu?" Tidus asked when Wakka walked in. Wakka sat down on one of the beds. "Chappu was my little brother. He died fighting Sin last year. I heard the day of the that's why I became a gaurdian, and I quit blitz." He said.

Tidus sat down on the bed across from him. Wakka looked at Tidus. "Woah, you look like you just had a freaky dream..."He said. Tidus nodded. He didn't really bother telling Wakka about the dream, because it was too weird. Wakka shrugged. He got up and left. Tidus made an rather successful attempt to return to sleep, with out having strange dreams where Yuna and Rikku were trying to kill each other. In fact, he was pretty glad that Neither one of them showed up in his dreams after that one.

The next day, Tidus left the room. He was greeted by Wakka and Lulu. Wakka was holding a cool looking sword. The blade was neat looking, and looked to have been made of water. "Hey! Tidus, I wanna give you this." Wakka said. He handed the sword to Tidus. Tidus examined it for a few seconds. " I mean, unless you want to keep with that old sword, you had." Wakka said. Tidus shook his head. "No, It's great Wakka. Way better than that other weapon." He said. He noticed the look on Lulu's face. "That was Chappu's gift to you Wakka. He gave it to you as a wedding gift, when we got married." She said.

Wakka shrugged. "I don't ever use swords to fight, and I'm sure Chappu would be okay with me giving it to somebody who could put it to some use." He explained to Lulu. Tidus looked around. "Hey Where is Yuna?" he asked. At that moument, Yuna came running out of the temple. In one hand she carried a brush, in the other she carried her staff. She quickly tried to comb out her hair as she ran. She stopped right infront of her gaurdians. "Sorry. I guess I spent a bit much time, saying goodbye." She said. Lulu smiled slighlty. "Come on, we might still be able to make it to the the boat before it leaves." She said. The entire group started down the path.

When they had gotten pretty far down the path, Lulu turned and started to look around. "I feel that we are forgetting something, or someone..." She said. Wakka turned and looked around too. "Yeah...I think your right." He said. Suddenly they heard a loud roar. Kimahri leapt down from the cliff near by them, and landed right in front of Tidus. "Fight!" Kimahri said as he landed, he pointed to Tidus. He then let out a roar, and drew out his weapon. Tidus drew out his weapon and he and Kimahri fought for a little while, until Yuna called them off. "What was with that?" Lulu asked.

Yuna started to walk ahead of her gaurdians. "I asked Kimahri to do that, you know, to help Tidus, train." She said. Lulu looked over at her husband, and then to Yuna, who was pretty far down the path. " Train? Why?" She muttered aloud. Kimahri started down the path, with them now. " Yuna not tell Kimahri why she want Kimahri to fight Tidus. She only said ' To help him train' So Kimahri follow Yuna's orders as Summoner's gaurdian is supposed to do." He said.

It really didn't take too long to get to the boat from there. Luckily they had made it just before the boat left. They made it just in enough time for Yuna to wave good-bye to the rest of the people in Besaid. Although it took awhile, The boat finally departed from Besaid. It was about 10 minutes before Besaid was nothing but a mere tiny black dot in the distance. Tidus saw Yuna leaning over the side of the boat looking at the sky. Tidus walked up beside her. She turned and looked at him. "Yesterday...you were about to say something...or ask something, But you had to leave, before you got the chance to say it. What was it?" Tidus asked her.

Yuna turned and looked out over the ocean. She was quiet for a few minutes. "I didn't quiet understand what you ment when you said. 'sure if you like following in your father's footsteps.' I was just wanting to ask. Wouldn't you do the same, if your father did something good for Zanarkand?" She asked. Tidus crossed his arms. He shook his head. Yuna raised her eye brow. Giving Tidus a questioned look. "Hmm..Why not?" She asked. Tidus turned and leaned over the side of the boat.

"He's already done something good for Zanarkand, and for me." He stated. Yuna looked out at the ocean and then to Tidus. " What?" she asked. Tidus took this as to ask, "What did your father do that was good for Zanarkand, and for you?" So he replied to this with, "He's dead, or at least I assume, because he did dissappear off the coast of Zanarkand...almost 10 years ago. No one ever needed him anyways. I mean hell, he was a good-for-nothing drunk, who amazingly, managed to hold the title of Star-player of the Zanarkand Abes, blitzball team. He was always putting people down, because he was arrogant." He said. He paused and looked over at Yuna, to see if she was still listening.

" I mean sure him dying wasn't so great to Zanarkand...But it should have been! I mean, once I got on the Zanarkand Abes, everyone was always comparing me to him. No matter where I'd go, I'd always hear, 'you are definately your father's son.' and 'Are you going to use some of your father's blitzball moves in tonight's game?' and 'You should do the Jecht-shot for us..' you know, I got a little sick of it." He said. Yuna raised her eyebrow again in confusion. "The Jecht-Shot?" She asked slowly. Tidus nodded, unhappily. "Yeah, that's what everyone in Zanarkand called it, because..the real name was really too long and hard to remember. It was the one shot that my old man created, and he said he was the only one who could perform it. It was the one of the things that made him famous throughout Zanarkand." He said.

He looked over and Yuna. She mouthed "Jecht..." over and over again. It seemed as if that name sounded fimilar to Yuna. But how could she have found the name fimilar. If what Tidus had been told was true. Zanarkand was way before Yuna's time. She wouldn't have known Jecht. Yuna's eyes opened wide. She turned to Tidus. "Jecht..my father's gaurdian? He was your father?" She asked. Tidus looked shocked. It couldn't have been the same person. "It can't be..." He said. Yuna looked at Tidus. "But it has to be true! I'm sure its the same Jecht! I first met Jecht ten years, three months, 2 weeks, 4 days 6 hours, 15 minutes,and 34 seconds ago! Doesn't that sound about right? Tidus?" she asked. .

Tidus shrugged. "Yeah, sounds about right." he said. It sounded reasonable. I mean Jecht disappeared 10 years ago, He showed up in Spira almost 10 years ago. Jecht getting to Spira didn't sound too strange, because Tidus assumed that Sin had brought Jecht there, just like Sin had brought him there. So, it could have been the same Jecht. Tidus groaned at that the idea that Jecht had been there in Spira too. Tidus saw it like this; Yuna's father was high-summoner. Which probably was bound to make him famous, why else would he have a statue in a temple? Well, from recent information that Tidus had just acquired, assuming that it was true, Jecht was Yuna's father's gaurdian. So, seeing that if Yuna's father had help in beating down Sin, That would make his gaurdian (Since he wasn't aware of any other people being Yuna's father's guardian as of yet),famous too.

If people in Spira knew that Tidus was Jecht's son. Then Tidus knew that that would be when they begin to talk about how much like his father Tidus was. The people of Spira would probably start to do what the people in Zanarkand did.

Suddenly, the ocean began to stir, and become violent. A giant fin shot out of the water. Telling all of the passengers on the boat, just exactly what had been causing the sea to act up. Sin was heading in their direction, to terriorize the nearest town. But since the boat was in its way, it decided before it could reach its destination, it would have to terrorize the passengers on the boat. Just for fun. It travelled along the side of the boat for a few minutes until, it took the lead in the boat.

Of course seeing that Sin was headed for the next island alerted them. They ran to the harpoons, and got them ready to fire at Sin. Wakka tried to stop them, seeing that if they stuck something in Sin, it would drag them under. "But..we have to save our families in Kilika!" One of the men at the harpoon said. Yuna stepped foreward. She pointed at Sin, and put her other hand on her hip. "Stick a harpoon in him! He's done!" She said. Which, signaled to Wakka, Lulu, Kimahri, and Tidus, that they were to help Yuna fight Sin this time.

So that is what they did. Yuna let Tidus sit out that battle, since Kimahri was doing most of the attacking of the Sinscales that had landed up on the deck. Of course Lulu and Wakka let Yuna sit that battle. Lulu casted her various first-level magics on Sin's gigantic fin. Wakka would attack it by throwing the blitzball he fought with at it. It didn't take long for the ropes holding the boat to Sin, to snap. When they did snap, Sin decided to show its annoyance, by slamming its tail down on the water, and causing a huge tidal wave.

Everyone on board was glad that they had survived that run in with Sin. But, seeing where Sin was headed at full-speed, made their gladness fade. They watched as what seemed to be the entire town of Kilika being torn apart. As horrific as if was to watch it, it must have been twice as horrific for the ones who were actually there. What the people on the boat had saw, there were debris from Kilika spiraling around Sin. But those who had survived, knew that wasn't the only thing up there, and Sin wasn't the only thing under the water. Their loved ones, neighbors, and friends were among the wreckage floating above Sin.

The people on the boat knew this as well, though. Some of them might have been glad that they had survived the run-in with Sin. But the thought that, their families and loved ones, and people they knew could be among those that Sin had killed, made most all of them wish that they weren't still alive. The normally peaceful sunset of Kilika would be diffrent for them today. It would no longer be calm and gentle, but harsh, and a burning reminder how some of these people would have to go on living with out their loved ones anymore.

Tidus stood next to Yuna. Her face was serious and set on the wreckage of Kilika. Her eyes were narrowed in anger, and determination. Tidus reached over and put his hand on her shoulder. He looked over at her, trying to think of something to say to her. There were several things he learned just then. One of the major things being, he wasn't going home. He would never return home to Zanarkand. He was stuck in Spira for good. He also learned how murderous Sin truely was. But even knowing those things, didn't help him find words to say to Yuna.

Of course, even if he did find something comforting to say to Yuna, and to everyone. Even if he did find the right words. That is all they'd be. Just empty words with no meaning. They weren't going to make anyone feel any better. Yuna closed her eyes for a second to feel the burning sun on her skin. She opened her eyes and then stated. "I will defeat Sin." Tidus looked over at her. She didn't look over at him though. She glared at the sky. She then muttered half-under her breath, "I must defeat Sin. To stop the people of Spira, from dieing at Sin's hands."

(Well, guys and gals! That's chapter 4! Oh by the way, I'm giving credit to my sis, for the line that Yuna said, "Stick a harpoon in him! He's done!" (Which if no one got that, you know people say "Stick a fork in it, it's done." when talking about cooked meat. It's just a different variation of that same line.) She came up with that line, and also the " I first met Jecht,ten years, three months, 2 weeks, 4 days 6 hours, 15 minutes,and 34 seconds ago! " so that is another line I credit her for. Well, I do still look foreward to your reviews telling me about what you thought of that chapter. I know I did get some people probably confused...on some parts, and I'm sure that some of the parts just seemed like they were dull to read. But I just wanna hear what you think anyways.)
