So I added in a little bit of Lulu & Wakka:) Enjoy!

Chapter 9

It was a normal day in Besaid for Wakka. Or so he thought. "Hey, Lu, he called to his wife as he walked out the door. "I'm gonna go practice for the tournament with Tidus and the guys!" Lulu came from around the corner, holding Vidina in her arms. "Okay, but hurry back to me." She smiled and kissed Wakka on the lips. He kissed her on the forehead, then Vidina. Wakka waved goodbye, and then ran to the beach.

Tidus was waiting for him, with Yuna, surprisingly. "Hey, Yuna," Wakka said, wondering why Tidus had his arm around her waist. "Hi, Wakka. We have great news!" Yuna grinned at Tidus, who cleared his throat. "We're getting married," He said in confedence. Wakka grinned back. It wasn't really surprising that the two lovebirds were tying the knot. He pat Tidus on the back and then led the Aurochs into practice. After it was over he went to congratulate Yuna.

All of a sudden there was the crash of a gun. He heard Yuna scream in agony. She got hit by the bullet! "Yuna!" him and Tidus exclaimed at the same time. They weren't able to get to her, considering these guys in ninja outfits were in the way. Wakka looked at Tidus and nodded as a signal. They kicked some tail. After the ninja guys were taken out, they went to check on Yuna.

Only, she wasn't there. Even though the redhead blitzer wasn't officially her guardian anymore, Wakka felt like he'd failed. Not just Yuna, but his best friend, too. He hung his head shamefully and turned to Tidus. "Gone," Wakka said. "Those creeps must've gone after her," Tidus growled. They looked like they were heading toward the village. Horrified, Wakka ran to check on his wife and child.

He ignored the fiends that tried to attack. He just ran like the wind. All that ran through his mind was proctect Lulu. Protect Vidina. Him and Tidus rushed all the way to the village and ran into Wakka's hut. No one was there, but it looks like there was a fight. "Damn it," Wakka cursed himself. "I failed again." Tidus put his hand on his shoulder. "Hey, man. It wasn't your fault. We gotta get those guys and put the stomp on them. Maybe Gippal can help us." Wakka nodded, feeling nnumb inside.

They went via airship to Djose. There, they found Gippal, looking rather depressed. "What's wrong?" Wakka asked when he saw Gippal's exausted face. "Rikku's been kidnapped. This ninja guy came and took her." He shook his head. "I've been looking for her all night and I can't find her." Tidus looked at Wakka. "Those same guys kidnapped Yuna, Lulu, and Vidina." Wakka's tone was a dark tone that said how he felt about these guys. "We were hoping that you knew something," Tidus said. "I wish I did. I woulda found 'em by now if I did."

The three men stood there for a little while, thinking of ways to rescue the girls. The ninja people were obviously travilling by airship; how else would they get to so many places so fast? But where were they? And why were they taking the girls? There was this thing we had three years ago, Wakka thought. "A sphere-occillo finder!" Gippal snapped his fingers at the same time Wakka thought it. "We need to board the Celcius and use their sphere-occillo finder to find the girls! But first..." Gippal turned around, with a determined expression on his face. "We need to check on Paine and Baralai." "And Nooj and Leblanc," Tidus added. "Alright!" Wakka was all for it. He hadn't had any real action in a long time. He wished it wasn't revolved around the people he loved, but it was still gonna be fun.

"What are we waiting for?" Tidus asked with his cocky swagger attitude. "Let's go call Brother!"

Wakka's mind was far away. He'd never imagined falling in love with Chappu's girl. Why would he, with her hot temper and the fact that shen seemed to hate his guts. The fact was, though, after Chappu died, Wakka started to like her. But he never made a move toward her. He knew her too well. When Yuna became high summoner, though, Lulu told him she loved him. He was surprised, but mostly because he found he loved her, too. He missed everything about her. Her touch, her smile, her scent...her kiss.

All this is why he had to get her back. Her...and Vidina.
