[Chapter One]

Rikku stood at the edge of the lake, the scent of early morning dew filling her head with delight as she stared dreamily at the pyreflies dancing across the waters of the Moonflow. She dropped down to her knees and scooped up a handful of the water, smiling widely as the water drained out between her fingers. It felt different then most water...more substance to it.

A shockwave sent her onto her rear end, as she instinctively rolled and scrambled to her feet, her alert blue eyes looking around for danger. She could see nothing, but the ground still trembled and she began racing toward the inn where her companians were still asleep, except for Sir Auron who stood now alerted by the sounds, his hand on his sword. Rikku yelled for him, and Auron's gaze turned behine Rikku, and filled with suprise. Auron began racing toward Rikku, and Rikku made the mistake of looking behind her.

Racing after her was a gigantic golem, it's massive stone fists crunched together as one swung down to squash her like a pancake. She flew her self forward and heard the terrible "BAM!" as Auron's sword impacted with the golem's fist. She rolled over and scooted backwards, watching as Auron hacked away at the Golem.

Powerful as he was, he seemed to be doing no damage. Finally with a sweep that seemed to split the very air, the golem send Auron flying with a backhand. The golem then turned it's attentions back to Rikku, she knew she couldn't get away. As the golem's fist flew down at her, she screamed out before hearing a piercing "WATERA!" and the gigantic sound as if of a flash flood.

Several seconds passed and she heard a tremendous thud, and she chanced a peek out of her clenced eyes. There before her, it's body slowly dissolving into pyreflies was the dead body of the golem. She looked around before hearing soft laughter behind her. Wheeling around she saw Lulu, clutching a plushie in the crook of her arm walking toward Rikku.

Lulu dropped to her knees and put a hand on Rikku's shoulder.

"Are you ok?" Lulu's eyes seemed to go through Rikku's...

"Y..yes yes i'm fine...thank...THANK YOU!" Rikku threw her arms around the older woman, catching Lulu off guard and dragging her down to her knees.

As Rikku embraced her Lulu felt a soft shiver run through her body at the touch of Rikku's breasts against hers, of the feel of thin arms clutching her waist, of the hot breath against her neck...

"We're not...interrupting anything are we?" The voice was Tidus's.

Rikku immediatedly disengaged from Lulu's waist and stood nervously, aware that she had begun to feel just as Lulu. A flush on her face she walked past Lulu and Tidus, who had his arm around Yuna. Yuna and Tidus shared a knowing glance, as Lulu slowly climbed to her feet, dusting her self off.

"Oh! Sir Auron!" Yuna piped up as she hurried over to him, dropping to her knees and placing her hand on Auron's stomach. A small ball of green light glowed brilliantly there, as a soft glow enveloped Auron, then it was over. Auron's eyes opened and blinked a few times. He looked at Yuna then past her at Tidus.

"Thanks." He said gruffly, as he climbed to his feet and walked inside the inn.

Alone outside, Tidus put his arm around Yuna and took her hand. "How long until we have to go?"

Yuna looked up at him, sliding around so she was right in front of her as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hmm...a few hours." She muttered as she gave him a soft kiss.

Tidus returned it, smiling as their lips parted. "Plenty of time...don't you think?" His hands began to slide down her sides, imparting a giggle from Yuna. "Yes."

Inside the Inn, Rikku sat in the room she shared with Kimahri and Wakka, sitting cross-legged in her bed as she thought about Lulu. She had always noticed how beautiful she was...how silky her raven hair was...how soft her purple lips looked as they moved...

At this point a groan interrupted her train of thought, Wakka was just rousing and he sat up quickly and let out a series of rather disgusting bodily noises. Wrinkling her nose Rikku ran her hands through her hair, muttering about meh.

"Hey hey hey...I heard that." Wakka said as he stood up, looking over at Rikku.

"I didn't say anything! Hmph." Rikku said as she pulled out a book from under her and opened it in a hurry.

Wakka rolled his eyes and strolled out of the room. "Man...wish I knew what went through her head, ya?" He said to Auron, helping himself to a cold drink that Yuna and her Guardians received for free because of who they were.

Auron just stared at him for a few seconds, before his eyes went back down to the Al Bhed Primer Tidus had loaned him.

"Sheesh...you too huh?" Wakka shook his head and headed outside for some fresh air.

A bead of sweat ran down Lulu's forehead, staining her otherwise usually perfect complexion. Her eyebrows were knit in frustration, her eyes closed as raw elemental magick coursed through her body. The energy she attuned too came from the wind, the ground, the trees, the water near her. All this energy traveled through her body, and through intense concentraction and force of will she could manifest this into offensive powers, such is the basic principles of magick.

At the moment, Lulu was concentrating on a ball of pure white hot energy, a concentration of all four elements into one powerful attack, Flare. She had been practicing this technique for years, growing in power from all the battles, and growing more in tune with the elements and being able to summon and manifest them easier, quicker, and more powerfully.

She could feel it, the power that emenated from the ball in her hand. Red, Blue, Yellow, and Cobalt reflected and were bounced back into one ultimate pure ball of might, pure white. She was almost there, she could feel the power to project it, when all of a sudden that same shiver ran through her spine, an image of Rikku briefly popping into her head. As if a bucket of water poured on a match, the ball of energy instantly disappeared from her hands.

"Shit!" Lulu cursed as she flung her hands down, biting her lip in frustration.

"Why can't I get her face out of my head? I'm stronger then this...I won't be some love sick fool again."

Briefly Lulu thought back to Chappu..and the real reason he had left. Biting her lip to stifle a tear at the look on his face when she told him, she turned and walked back to the inn to get more rest.
