Finally another chapter sorry it took so long but please enjoy it. Thanks for reading.

I was in a deep dreamless sleep when voice penetrated my sleep filled brain, I sat up and looked around not knowing where I was at first then my memory came back to me of being in Wakka's hut. I glanced in the other room at Tidus who was fast asleep his light snores echoing in the hut. Wakka was nice and had given me a room to myself.

I went to the window in my room and peered out, I could see Wakka and Lulu were haveing a heated conversation. But from this distance I couldn't hear them but I had the feeling Tidus and I were the topic. I checked on Tidus once more to make sure he was still sleeping, before morphing into my cat form.

I had spent some time on planet New Mau where I learned that while the planet had been destroyed by Chaos some of it's people were able to leave and find peace on a new planet. There I had meet Queen Bastet and her daughter Sheba. Sheba was the planet's protector Sailor Mau and with her help and Queen Bastet's they taught me how to use the Crystal more.

The Crysral's power surrounded and I could feel my limbs shortening and my body contortioning. The change to my cat form looked incredibly painful but intact it wasn't.

It only took half a minute to change, when I first did it it would take close to five minutes with all the concentration. There were a couple times when I would mess up and I would end up with half a cats body and half a humans body. Making sure that didn't happen this time I looked at myself in the mirror.

I had to admit I was a very pretty cat with long silver fur and bright blue eyes. The crescent moon on my forehead glowed a pale yellow. Satisfied that I had did it right I jumped up on the window seal and out the opened window. I softly padded over to Wakka and Lulu.

"He does look a lot like Chappu." Lulu stopped in the middle of whatever she was saying when she saw me. "Oh what a pretty little cat," she said and scooped me up. She scratched me behind my ears which felt good and made me purr. She turned her attention back to Wakka. "You shouldn't have brought them here in the first place! Especially that girl I don't know what it is about her but I have this feeling that she isn't telling us every thing. I don't trust her."

I quit purring and started to wiggle indicating that I wanted to be put down before I used Lulu face for a scratching post. I was mad at her for making Wakka feel terrible for doing a good deed. When my paws touched the ground I made my way to Wakka and began to rub myself on Wakka's legs trying to comfort him.

"Yeah, but they needed our help!" Wakka defended himself.

Lulu shook her head and shouted, "Excuses again?" Wakka tried to protest but she cut him off, "That's it no more enough, Wakka!" She turned and stormed away to what I believed to be her hut leaving Wakka and I to watch her go. Wakka sighed watching her go and that was when I saw the silver thread that connected the two as soul mates. I stifled a giggle not wanting to give myself away. I turned back to the hut wanting to curl back up and go back to sleep, and was surprised to see Tidus had awakened.

I waited until Wakka had disappeared into the hut before I made my way back to the window and hopped through it. I changed back and snuggled in my comfy bed once again falling into a deep dreamless sleep.

/

The next morning dawned bright and sunny, I was surprise to see that I was the last one in the hut to wake up. After all I gave up my lazy ways before I left Earth. Sighing I thought 'Luna If you could only see how much I have grown, you would be proud of the woman I have become.' Stretching I got up, quickly ran a brush through my hair and rebraided it, before strapping on my short sword and pouch and putting my vest on. Pulling the cloth door to the side I stepped out into the bright sun light.

"Hey sleepy head," Wakka called to me.

Blushing I joined Wakka, Tidus, and Lulu. "Where's Yuna?" I asked. I looked around for the pretty young summoner but she was no where in sight.

"We're taking the same boat as Yuna, right? Why do we gotta wait here?" asked a over excited Tidus.

"Yuna came to this village ten years ago, when the last Calm started," Wakka started to explain.

"The Calm?" Tidus asked interrupting Wakka.

Wakka ignored Tidus and continued, "Since then, she's been like a little sister to me and Lulu. But she had the talent. She became an apprentice. Now, today, she leaves as a summoner."

"This is our journey, we should leave together," Lulu finished, just as Yuna appeared carrying several suit cases.

'Wow that girl is as bad as Mina' I thought thinking back to the time we went away for a week and Mina had to had taken her entire closet with her.

"You really don't need all that luggage," said Lulu, eyeing the bags with amusement.

"They're not really my things. They're gifts for the temples we're to visit." Yuna responded giggling a little.

"This isn't a vacation, Yuna," Wakka said in that big brother voice.

"I guess...I guess you're right," Yuna said. Leaving the suite cases she joined our little group.

"Okay! Off we go!" Wakka shouted and started to lead our small group out the village.

I started to follow but stopped when I saw Yuna turn back and looked almost mournfully at the temple. "Hey, don't worry you well back soon once we are done beating Sin."

"Yes, I well see it again." Yuna's smile she gave me was one that told me she was hiding something, something that nether I nor Tidus had been told yet. I had a feeling once I learned that they were hiding I wouldn't like it.

We made our way to the boat having to fight a few fiends along the way. They were rather easy both Lulu and Wakka taught Tidus and I the differences between the fiends we encountered. We stopped when we came to the rocky out crop that over looked the village.

"Take your time," Lulu said to Yuna. Yuna nodded and looked at the village once again getting that sad mournful look in her eyes. And I once again got that foreboding feeling, like this the last time Yuna would ever see those place again After several minutes she turned away and approached the statue.

"Let's get going, man!" said a very impatient Tidus.

"We're gonna wait." Wakka told Tidus. Before Tidus could ask why Yuna walked between the two getting Wakka's attention. "Are you ready?"

Yuna nodded and continued her way to the statue were she knelt in prayer, Wakka and Lulu followed suit.

"What's going on?" Tidus whispered to Wakka.

"It's an ancient custom. People leaving the island pray here for a safe trip," Wakka explained and went back to praying.

I approached the statue and did the preyed Wakka had showed us the previous day. 'Please let me be able to protect everyone from Sin.' I preyed hoping that my prey would be answered.

"That should do it!" Wakka said standing up.

We continued on our way to the boat, until we came to a part of the island where the vegetation was lush and pillars from a old machina. And out of no where the blue beast from the day before came charging at Tidus and I on all fours. He pounded the ground with his fist causing the earth under my feet to tremble. He stood towering consideringly over me, well then again most did since I was only 5ft2. He withdrew a long deadly looking lance, causing Tidus and I to draw our own weapons.

We engaged the beast in battle for several minutes. Finally Wakka called him off. "That's enough!" The beast lowered his lance and walked off but not before he eyed us with approval. I nodded at him letting him know that I had understood that he was testing both Tidus and I.

"What's with that guy?" a very irritated Tidus asked.

"Kimahri Ronso, of the Ronso tribe. He's learned the fiends' way of fighting," Lulu answered.

"That's not what I meant," Tidus said once again irritation coating his voice.

"He's another of Yuna's guardians," Wakka chuckled.

Yuna stepped forward giggling, "Sometimes we don't understand him either. Kimahri doesn't talk much anyway." She looked in the direction that Kimahri had disappeared and smiled fondly. "But he has protected me since I was a child."

Yuna's words made me think of my own Guardians and how they had tried to protect me on the Moon. Brushing the small tear away I followed our little group, where we finally made our way to the harbour and boat. Kimahri had already boarded, he stood watching us, well Yuna really, ready to come to her aid of the need arose.

I boarded and went to stand by Kimahri watching the people who came to see Yuna off. Kimahri grunted at me in greeting.

Several of the villagers had come to see Yuna off, she waved and and did the preyer until the boat's captain drew up its anchor and we were under way.

Being on the boat with the sea air wipping my hair back and the spray of the water coating my skin and clothing in a fine mist, was exhilarating. I had never felt more free. I had made my way to the front of the boat and sat between two harpoon guns, starring out over the ocean lost in my deep thoughts.

I thought about several things, my long dead friends and prince, the daughter from future I had gotten to know, and the friends and planet that I had left behind. All those things plucked at my heart strings, but the odd thing was that up until now I had never really thought about Earth and those who I left behind. I wondered if Molly, Melvin, Chad, Andrew, and the four sisters were still alive. How long have I been gone?

"You seem deep in your thoughts. Is everything ok?" Yuna's soft voice asked me. I was so deep in my thoughts that I had not realized she had joined me. Of course Kimahri wasn't far behind ever watchful of the young pretty summoner.

"Yeah, I was just thinking of home," I said.

"Do remember your home I heard you got close to Sin's toxins."

"Not really I only remember that it is very far away." It wasn't a total lie.

We sat there in silence for several minutes until I looked at Yuna and I can see she wanted to ask me something but the look on her face told me she couldn't find the right words.

"Is there something you needed, Yuna?" I asked her breaking the ice for her.

Yuna smiled at me in gratitude, "Actually I was wondering what you knew about Tidus."

"Not much we just meet not to long ago, but if there is anything you want to know you can ask him since he is heading this way." I stood up to leave but Yuna grabbed my hand.

"Please don't leave I am not sure what to say," she said.

"I am sure you well find something, if you don't learn to talk him by yourself you never well be able to," I said. It may had seem almost cruel at the time but I knew it was better that way.

I walked by Tidus and winked at him. I decided to occupy my time and explore the boat a little bit.

I made my way below deck and checked out several of the cabins. I had been on the yacht that Mina's parents had owned, but this boat reminded me almost of the boats of old. I came to a room that said power room, I wasn't sure what they could possibly be useing for power. Letting my curiosity get the best of me I opened the door and went in.

I stood there speechless for several moments unable to believe my eyes. In side the room was several huge hamster type wheels and on them were huge overgrown yellow bird type things. A young woman was attending to some the birds who were not running on the wheels.

"What are they?" I asked scratching one of the birds head. I was fascinated by these beautiful golden birds.

"The woman turned to me with a look of disbelief on her face, "These are chocobos. Don't tell me you don't know what a chocobos are."

"I got close to Son's toxins," I hastily said and headed out the door. My exploring done I made my way up to the deck where Wakka stood closely watching Yuna and Tidus talk. With the waves crashing against the boat I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but I did hear others talking about Yuna having noble blood and her father.

"So, is Yuna's father famous or something?" I asked Wakka.

"She's the daughter of High Summoner Braska! You saw his statue at the temple. Lord Braska defeated Sin ten years ago. Yuna's the heir to a great legacy!" Wakka sounded proud of Yuna, but it saddened me to think that young girl had to live up to another's standard.

"Hmmm I know who it feels to have to live up to a legacy," I said sadly.

Wakka gave me look and was about to ask me what I had meant by my comment, when the a huge tidal wave exploded against the side of the boat knocking everyone to the opposite side. Wakka was quick and grabbed me with one hand while grabbing the center mast. I watched in horror as a giant fin emerged from the water causing another wave to slam into the side of the boat. I had finally got my first look of the piece of my most deadly enemy. Sin.

Tidus who was holding onto Yuna lost his grip and Yuna went flying across the deck towards the water. Not bothering to think of the consequences of revealing my power, I called upon the Crystals power.

"LOVE ME CHAIN ENCIRCLE!"

The chain made of interlocking golden hearts wrapped around Yuna's waist stopping her tumble into the water and gave Kimahri the time to grab her. Kimahri gave me a nod of gratitude, and I called the chain back to me.

The boat settled and allowed two of it's crew to man the harpoons, my mouth fell open and I couldn't wrap my mind around what they were about to do.

"What do you think you're doing?" Wakka shouted. "Stick a harpoon in him and we'll all get dragged under!"

The two crew men turned sad filled gazes towards Yuna, "Sin is going for Kilika! We gotta distract it!" Our families are in Kilika! Forgive us, Lady Summoner!"

"Oh boy!" Wakka said while Yuna gave them a small nod.

"Wait!' I shouted but it was to late the crew men fired the harpoons. They flew through the air as fast as any missile would fly. They both made contact and drug the small boat through the water as if it was a person on a pair of water skis. Water splashed on to the deck, waves bombarding us from both sides.

"We have in coming!" Wakka shouted.

Pushing my soaking wet bangs from my eyes I looked in the direction Wakka was indicating to. And saw these pod like things heading our way. When they landed they morphed into huge bug like looking things.

"Sin spawn," Wakka sneered. "Lu! Kimahri protect Yuna. You two help me take care of these!"

Both Tidus and I didn't take the time to hesitate we quickly engaged the Sin spawn. I could the feel the dark energy of Chaos flowing through them, and my short sword began to glow with the light of crystal. With the help of the crystal I easily sliced through the Spawn as if the were butter and my sword a hot knife.

When the three Sinspawn was gone I gave my sword a spin before resheathing it back into it's scabbard. When I looked up at Tidus and Wakka both were looking at me with their mouths hanging open, that was when I realized that I alone had taken out the enemy.

"Serenity, have some serious skills," Wakka said.

Before I could respond the ropes attached to the harpoons snapped, and a wave washed over the boat causing everyone of us to grab on to something. When all was silent the boat once again gently bobbed in the water, I looked around seeing if everyone was alright.

To my horror Tidus was no where in sight. "Tidus!" I screamed and dove over the side of the boat.

Once in the water I spotted Tidus sinking fast and being attached by more Sinspawn. Using the power of Neptune I was able to catch up to Tidus and propale the spawn away. By that time Wakka had caught up to me. I used the crystal to revive Tidus, glad that he was safe.

We were about to return to the surface when two dolphins like creatures swam by us obviously frightened out of their minds. They were followed by a huge Sin Spawn that looked like a jellyfish, the three of us nodded and engaged the monster.

The monster must have thought I would be a easy target, as did Tidus and Wakka since they jumped in front if me when the creature raised both of it's arms intent on attacking me. Both men took the blow that was meant for me knocking both unconscious.

Seeing my two friends floating there their, blood flowing out of them turning through water red, made my anger boil up and the power of the crystal was unleaded from my body. Healing Tidus and Wakka, destroying the creature and causing a sonic boom under the water.

We made our way up to the surface where the crewmen dragged us back aboard the ship just in time to see a giant wall of water wash over the tiny village of Kilika. Even from these distance we all could see the village was destroyed. The giant form of Sin stood over the destroyed village in triumph, pleased with the carnage it had caused.

"I will defeat Sin... I must defeat Sin," Yuna said and I at that moment agreed to do anything to achieve her goal and free these people from it.

I hope you all enjoyed this please review.
