"Hope is lasting"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Lulu was up bright and early as usual and was taking a small walk out on the cliffs. She went pass the water fall and stood on a lage rock that stuck out of the side of the wall. The rock looked like it had been there for some time. The sound of water falling was so soft to her. She loved the sound of the water falling it was so quiet and peaceful. She wanted to stay there listening to it all day , but she couldn't because people would come looking for her and the scene would be ruined.
Rikku woke up a little bit after Lulu and saw her go off to the woods again, probably to think about things. Rikku had admired her for some time, but she began to feel a little different, like she was beginning to change. Rikku was glad that she was changing from some one who was cold as ice could become some on like her. Rikku was vary happy that she met all of these people and lived here on this island. This island was now her home and she never wanted to leave.
Kimaharhi had been thinking about going back to mount Gazet to find some remaining Ronzo's and try to rebuild their culture again. Kimaharhi was a little sad to see their faces when he left so he left a small letter for Yuna at her door to her hut. Kimahari's horn was also beginning to grow back, but not many people relised what was happening. Kimaharhi left that day with only the hope to come back and see every ones faces again.
Yuna found the letter outside her door when she woke it had been done in ink and had a small wax imprint to hold it shut. The letter read that Kimaharhi didn't want to cause any trouble so he decided to go back to mount Gazet with out a big crowd and that he would return one day. Yuna felt sad to hear that one of her dearest friends had left her, but she still felt a little happy for him to rebuild his race and repopulate mount Gazet. Yuna took the letter and went to Waka's hut and told him what was on the letter. Wakka was some what surprised that he would leave with out telling anyone, just leaving a note.
Rikku had seen Kimarhi pack up his stuff and she begged him to stay, but he still denied. Kimaharhi must rebuild race, no turning back. Rikku followed him to the dock and told him farewell trying to cling to his leg to keep him from leaving, but he was to strong and he pushed her off. The only thing Kimaharhi told Rikku before he left was that to take care of Yuna.
Rikku came back from the dock and saw Wakka an Yuna standing in the center of town. Rikku ran up to Yuna and hugged her. "I couldn't stop him." Rikku squeezed her cousin tight. "All he told me was to take care of you." A small tear went down Rikkus cheek. Yuna smiled." Its all right he had wrote me a letter and also when I was a child he said that he would go back to mount Gazet some time.
Lulu walked back to the village to see Rikku hugging Yuna. Wakka watched Lulu was she walked over to the two. "What happened?" Rikku looked up at Lulu. "Kimaharhi left." Rikku took her hands off of Yuna and put them at her sides. "He went back to mount Gazet." Lulu looked at Yuna and then at Rikku. "It wasn't going to last you know." Lulu smiles and looks over at Yuna.
A Month passes and a letter came to Yuna from the new maister of the Gwado's He told her that they were sorry for the troubles they had when Seymore was their maister. And that they were welcome back to Qwado salom any time they wanted.

Wakka was training with the orocs one day on the shore of the village. Datto had been passing the ball back and forth with Wakka. When lulu came to watch the group play. Wakka noticed her there and didn't remember what he was doing and was struck by the blits ball. Lulu looked over to see Wakka get hit by the ball. She laughed lightly putting her hand to her mouth. Rikku came over to the group wanting to play and learn a bit more about the sport. She had learned a bit by watching the abehd team.
Rikku took the ball and throw it up in the air and kicked over to one of the Orocs. The man didn't relies how strong she was and he got hi in the stomic. The man passed back the ball while holding his stomic. Rikku laughed at the man and went back to the others. She was enjoying this greatly. Lulu could see that Wakka didn't hate the Albehds any more for how he acted when they were mentioned when talking. He even acted like Rikku was apart of his family. Lulu loved his kind hart. That was one of the many things she couldn't resist to love.
Wakka was having a good time being back with the Blits team he had his smile that was only there when he was truly happy. Wakka Was haply with his life and how it was, He didn't want to change it at all, but there was one thing that he wanted to do. It was to tell Her that He loved her, but he could never find the right time. The only times he could see he was he she was with Yuna or Rikku, She would always disappear when he wanted to talk to her. It was like she was avoiding her.
Wakka came back from practice one night seeing that the sun was setting he packed up the Blits gear and headed back to the small hut were they stoded the gear. He put them away and went back to his hut, but when he got to his door he noticed that Lulu had fallen asleep on the bench near the cliff were she was watching them practice. wakka walked over an picked her up. She was not as heavy as he thought. She looked like an angel when she was sleeping. Wakka pushed some hair out of her eyes and brought her back to her hut. He placed her in her bed, he put the covers over her and looked at her. "You are beautiful Lu." Wakka said in a voice faint of a whisper. The he leaned over and kissed her forehead. A bit of his stubble from his chin wiped across Lulus cheek, making her shift in her blankets. Wakka left her hut and went back to his.
Yuna was watching them the whole time from a secret spot. She was glad Lulu fell in love with one of the greatest men she ever knew. A for Wakka being so kind to her in return. They were like one of the best things that happened to Yuna, but it was sad they couldn't tell each other how they felt about each other. Yuna wanted them to be together so bad. That she didn't think about Tidus for those few moments.
The next day Lulu woke up in her worm bed she had a dream that Wakka was all hers and no one else's. Then releases that she was in her bed. Who had put her there. All she could remember was that she felt a little scrape on her cheek, like some one with stubble has brushed against her. Wakka had brought her there. 'Maybe he dose feel the same way.' Lulu thought as she got up for her early walk.
The sun was out and the air was worm. It was always worm in Besaide for some reason, it must be that the water around the island reflected the sun so much that it made the air stay worm all year. Lulu walks down by the cliff over the beach, then she spots Wakka down on the beach sitting on the ground just admiring the waves. It looked so peaceful, Lulu wanted to walk up to wakka right the and tell him that she loved him, but she didn't have enough courage to tell him.
Lulu walked on, Wakka looked up to see Lulu up on the cliff. He got up and raced to her." Hey Lu want to come sit with me?" Wakka wanted just to be near her. Lulu turned around to see Wakka calling her. There was no harm in haveing two friends sit together. Lulu walked down to the beach to were Wakka sat. Wakka looked up at her and pated the sand next to him, inviteing her to sit. "My dress.'' Lulu was just making excuses. "Who cares ya." Wakka grabs her hand and sits her next to him.
Lulu sat down on her knees not wanting to ruin her dress entirely. "Isn't is wonderful ya?" Wakka looks at the riseing sun. Lulu looks over at it. "It's beautyful." Lulu just staires at the sun riseing above the water. the light glisemed on the water reflecting the suns rays. Wakka wasn't looking at the water he was looking at Lulu the hole time. The rays that reflected off the water hit her skin making her shine. Her pale skin lookes like it felt like silk.Wakka was in awh. When Lulu reliesed that he was looking at her she felt like he did realy like her, but that was just a dream she thought to herself.
Wakka couldn't help it he couln't even take his eyes off her she was the one he loved, but he knew she love Chappu. He was jelious of his brother, why did he die. Wakka wasn't one of those people who cryed, for he thought that he had to be tuff, like sir Auron, but he still was sad that he would never have her.
Lulu was happy, but sad he was Chappu's brother why did he have to be Chappu's brother. A small tear slid down her cheek. Wakka saw that she was crying, he never saw her cry. "Lu....." Wakka took his hand and put it to her face and brushed her tears away with is thumb. His hand felt so strong on her face, she wanted him to keep it there. Wakka took Lulu's other hand, It felt even more soft than it looked. "Lu are you all right?" Wakka's voice was solid, he cared for her and he never wanted to see her cry.
Lulu was in heaven, Her love was holding her, but she couldn't stop crying. Wakka took Lulu and rested her head against his cheast. "Lulu....... I want to..." Wakka knew this was the right time for this. "Lulu I know you like Chappu, but i love you and I wan't to be with you for ever." Wakka held Lulu more closer to his body. Lulu wiped her tears and then pulled back away from him. "Wakka you think I......" She could barly speak she was so happy. "Wakka it wasn't Chappu that I was talking about, it.........it was you." Lulu smiled tears still in her eyes.
Wakka almost died when he heard this. "Lu...." Wakka held her hands and brought her in more closer to him. Lu lu leaned in closer. "I love you, you big goof." Lulu kissed Wakka's astounded face, but then Wakka returned her kiss with a more passionet Kiss. Her lips felt so good on his that he never wanted her to let go. Waka's toung brushed up against Lulu's lips and she opened her mouth. They kept on kissing not knowing that Yuna had walked up searching for Lulu to see them. She was so happy for them she could almost burst.
