Shuin entered the room and music boomed from every corner. Screams of enjoyment accompanied it. Shuin tried hard to focus on the guys he was following but already lost them.
'Oh no!' he thought. Shuin started to run in every sense and looked for the guys he saw. Finally, after a flight of stairs, the two guys were taking aim.
"STOP!" Shuin yelled out. The guys looked at him for a moment and gave him a nasty grin. They both took aim in his direction and fired. He dodged the first bullet with his sword in a very swift timing but was hit with the second one in his arm. He tried hard not to groan in pain. The audience hasn't noticed the gunshots because of their very loud cheering. Tidus came running down to the corner Shuin was. The guys were surrounding them with the same grin. Tidus took out his sword and blocked every bullet they shot. Soon Paine and Rikku joined the fight as Shuin stayed helplessly on the floor holding his right arm. The music ended and so did the fight.
"Let's get out of here!"
"But Leblanc will kill us!"
Rikku taped her foot impatiently on the floor as they fled, "And what were they exactly doing?" she growled.
"No time for questions. We've got to bring Shuin to a hospital," Tidus helped Shuin get to his feet and helped him walk over to the exit. The music just ended as they got to an empty room. The cheering got even louder. So loud, we could hear it from where they were.
"Oh bummer! We missed it!" Rikku whined.
"I'm fine!" Shuin hesitated as they tried to take the bullet out.
"No use," Paine got a wet towel and wiped off the blood from her hands.
"We need to bring you to the hospital. The bullet is stuck inside," Tidus wiped off the blood too.
"And since when you cared about me?"
"Ever since I've got someone to train with! That means training with my mirror of course!"
"Oh. Well if you're going to bring me to the hospital, do it before Lenne sees me. This is her room by the way," Right after Shuin finished his sentence; Lenne burst open the door panting slightly.
"Oh my god! What happened?!" she ran towards Shuin and examined the wound, "What are you waiting for? Get the car!" Tidus nodded and walked out the door.
Yuna came in, "What happened?" she asked.
"Shuin got hurt," she sighed, "Nothing too serious though."
They all got out of the room and got into the car. Lenne helped Shuin by supporting him.
*** (At the hospital)
Everybody was waiting in the waiting room. Lenne kept on walking around the room from time to time. Rikku was watching her patiently when she finally broke the silence.
"Lenne! Stop it, you're making me dizzy."
"Sorry," she sat beside Rikku and rested her head on her hand while gazing at the floor.
"Hmm.. you worried?"
"No not really. He couldn't possibly die unless that bullet did some detour and landed in his heart. I'm just worried of if it did."
"Haven't heard of that type of bullet before.. say.. remember when you called me to say something embarrassing from Shuin's past?" Rikku exclaimed happily.
Lenne's frown soon turned into a mischievous grin, "come closer then. I'm going to do a memory transfer," Rikku nodded. Lenne placed her hand on Rikku's forehead and her spare hand on her's.
*Flashback*
A young girl known as Lenne (Lenne as a young teen *12 years old*) walked upstairs into a classroom. She took her seat next to a young boy (Shuin as a young teen *12 years old*)
"Hey there!" he called out to her. She just ignored him and started to work on her pop quiz the teacher just handed out. He gave a disappointed look and turned to his quiz too.
(An hour later)
"So did he flirt with you?" One of Lenne's friends asked.
"No," she replied simply.
"Did he try to give you any facial expressions?" another girl asked.
"No," obviously Lenne was a popular girl at school and many boys got attracted to her. Not only because of her beauty but also because of her singing talents. One of the most popular singers in Zanarkand. She did admire one of the boys though. She just didn't want to pay attention to him because she thought it wouldn't be fair for the others. Just as they were walking downstairs, there was a large group of people rounding on something Lenne couldn't see.
"What's happening?" she asked a person nearby.
"Well Shuin kinda gone into the girl's bathroom thinking it was the boy's bathroom and got undressed without taking a cabin. Well you know boys do that in their changing rooms. And then girl caught him and they're teasing him right now, not letting him escape and humiliating him in the public."
The girl pushed some people out of the way and there was the boy she admired, in boxers and dark red in the face from so much humiliation. Lenne gasped as one of the girls that was teasing him, kicked Shuin in the ribs. The other girls started to kick him too.
"Stop!!" Lenne shouted. Everybody gasped and turned to stare at Lenne. The girls that were torturing Shuin stared at her too. She was aware that she was messing with the toughest and meanest girls in the school. (More like Leblanc and her gang.. Like the leader of the group of girls is someone that resembles to Leblanc and has two other recruits. One like Uno and one like Sano!! They were popular too.)
"So miss perfect wants to mess huh?" The girl edges forward.
"That's right Mariah," Lenne took out her metal staff.
"Well, well. You want to be even more popular so you want to take away mine?" She took her sword out too.
"I never said tha-" But before Lenne could finish her sentence, she tackled her to a wall. Mariah made an invisible wall of electricity so people couldn't get in the way of their fight. Teachers soon came to see what all the noise was about. Shuin got back in his cloths and tried to break through the barrier but got electrocuted. It sent him flying across the hall a few feet away. Mariah's friends were chuckling inside the barrier while watching the fight. Lenne whacked Mariah and casted magic on her.
"Water!" she yelled out. Mariah got soaked and fell with a loud thud.
"So you wanna play rough don't you? I'll give you rough!!" She started running around Lenne fast. She went faster and faster when finally she stopped and a large tornado carried Lenne and threw her across the fighting field. She landed in the electric barrier and got heavy damage. Finally, the barrier released her from the torture and she fell on the floor. Lenne got up trying not to groan from the all the pain she had. Mariah tried to stab her but Lenne escaped.
"You'll get expelled."
"Like I care! This school was useless!" Mariah slashed Lenne on the arm. Blood oozed down rapidly but Lenne ignored it, "I'll finish you off!" Mariah started to run around Lenne again.
'Think Lenne think!' Lenne thought to herself. Shuin was tempting to break in again and failed. That made her think about the little incident she had with Shuin. A kiss in the public.. Finally, Mariah was gaining more and more speed. Lenne gave her a malicious smile and extended her staff to the floor. Mariah tripped and gave a piercing shriek. She went flying very hard on the barrier. (Well you know when we trip someone with A LOT of speed right?) She was electrocuted so much, she broke the barrier and layed motionless on the floor. Lenne fainted shortly after. Mariah's friends tried to run away but when they got to the exit, they were greeted by unexpected police.
"You three are coming with us," One of the police pointed to the two girls and Mariah's motionless body on the floor.
"But Lenne started it! Why won't you take her too?" One of the girls asked.
"Because I told them what I saw," The nurse appeared. She ordered Lenne's friends to pick her up and get her to the medical room. They nodded and went. The police took Mariah's friends into the police car and Mariah into an ambulance. All of the students except Shuin soon got back to their classes and everything was all quiet now. Shuin walked to the medical office and peered in the window on top of the door. There were several doors. He entered the medical room and peered into each room until he finally got to Lenne's room. He friends were sitting in individual chairs by her bed. She was still unconscious. Shuin entered the room. Lenne's friends started to giggle.
"What? Is Lenne okay?" he asked but they kept on giggling.
"You might wanna know why she saved you from a bit more on humiliation," a girl named Jessica said.
"Yeah I do," He took a seat beside Jessica.
"Well.. It's a secret but I doubt she could hear us. Just try as if you don't know what I'll tell you," Shuin nodded, "Well she told me that she admires you and everything. She acts as if you're like the other guys that act stupidly in front of her. She says that you're different and you have a good personality," Jessica smiled while the others giggled. Shuin started to smile widely and looked at the unconscious Lenne. The nurse came in.
"Oh I see. Maybe Shuin would like some time alone with Lenne right?" The girls nodded and left. The nurse walked out too and they were finally alone. Shuin softly took her hand and rubbed it. Slowly, Lenne opened her eyes. She gasped when she saw Shuin.. Rubbing her hand?
"Wh-what are you doing here?"
"Just checking you up.. How are you feeling?"
"Err.. Fine I guess," she blushed a bit.
"Your friends told me-"
"Toldyouwhat?!" she began to blush harder.
"Calm down. Well they did tell me to not react to this but.." Lenne's eyes narrowed. He knew she'd kill Jessica if he ever told her but he couldn't keep it, "Well one of your friends told me that you.. kinda admire.. me?" Lenne blushed even harder. He could also tell she was going to kill Jessica, "But don't blame her! I'm the one that wanted to know." Lenne sighed.
"I know I can't blame her. So lemme guess. You're gonna let me down and dump me on this spot because you only look for people that are normal and not so popular like me." Shuin gave a soft chuckle.
"Of course not. Probably wouldn't have an opportunity like this in my life. But you did show me that you cared even though I still haven't met you as a girlfriend." Lenne nodded and got out of the bed. Still wrapped in some bandages, she crept outside the medical office with Shuin. The bell rang and students soon filled the hall to go to their dorms. Suddenly Shuin tripped and fell on his face. The students started to laugh and so did Lenne. Shuin's shorts were caught by the door when he came out and he was once again in his boxers. He started to panick again and-
*end of Flashback*
Rikku opened her eyes and saw Shuin gazing angrily at Lenne that was on the floor laughing hysterically. It looks like he stopped Lenne right on time...
