No Love Lost
Disclaimer: I do not own FFX-2 nor the characters or the story line. I just write fanfiction
**Yous would have never guessed how much joining the Syndicate meant to me. She found me in an alleyway, begging for food. Since there were no room for assassins or lackeys in "New Yevon", I was forced to become a street bum. I had no family to return to. Sin had sought to that. My only friend and partner was gone and I didn't know where he went off to. But that day I met her changed everything. Soon I would no longer be a bum, I'd be a Sphere hunter!**
I waddled into the town known as Guadosalam. She had given me a card with her location and address if I was interested in the job. And why wouldn't I be!? Anything was better than being a hobo, and working with a beautiful broad was a plus! I looked around hesitantly. I was lost. I had checked every place in Guadosalam and no address matched the one she gave me. Maybe it was just joke after all. I was about to give up and leave when I passed by Seymour's old mansion. I let out a shudder. That place always scared the pants off of me. But as I looked closer…
"What the…!? No way!" I shouted in disbelief.
The address on Seymour's mansion matched the address on the card she gave me. It was in the shape of a heart which I assumed was her trade mark, since I saw the same shape on her chest… not that I was staring or anything. I approached the Mansion. I was hesitant to knock on the door. Just as I was about to actually knock the door opened. From inside the Mansion, the broad in the magenta dress I had met the other day poked her head out. I was a loss for words. What was she doing in Maester Seymour's old house?!
"Oh hello, love." She gave me a smile, "I was wondering when you'd swing by."
"Wha-Wha-What are yous doing in Maester Seymour's house!?" I stuttered.
I was always afraid of Maester Seymour when I was in the service of Yevon. What he did to Kinoc… why wouldn't I be afraid!? Even though Seymour is dead, I was still superstitious.
"I live here." She told me, giving me an odd look, "This is my Chateau now."
"Really!? How could yous afford it?!" I asked, still not able to understand.
"I sell the spheres I find to buyers. It's a great way to earn money, love." She smirked.
"Whoa… I guess that makes sense."
"Well don't just stand there, love. Come in!"
I stepped inside and she shut the door behind me. I still found it hard to believe how she could afford such a place. I watched as she walked to the middle of the foyer, waving her fan in front of her face. She then closed her fan and turned back to me.
"So, if you wanna work for me, you must be able to follow orders with out delay. I can either be a kind and gentle boss, or a strict one. I do not tolerate failure much, and if you do fail you'll be punished and the failure will come out of your pay." She told me in a serious voice.
"Don't worry Miss Leblanc —I mean, boss. At my old job I followed orders pretty well under that slave driver. So yous might say I'm an expert, Bwa ha ha ha ha!" I told her.
"Excellent. Then you should have no trouble." She smiled, "I'm sure you and your partner will get along just fine."
"Partner?! Who's that?" I asked.
"He should arrive anytime n-"
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Speak of the devil." She laughed, "Excuse me, love."
I watched as she walked over to the door. From where I stood, I could not see who was standing at the door when she opened it.
"Ahh you made it! I was starting to think you'd be late, love." She smiled and put a hand on her hip.
"I can assure you Miss Leblanc, I would not miss this for the world." A familiar accent came from the door.
"Of course. You are just in time you meet your partner." She stepped to the side, allowing who ever was there in.
My eyes shot open as the man walked into the room. Yous would never of guess who it was.
"L-Logos!?" I exclaimed.
"Ormi!?" He exclaimed once he saw me.
It was Logos! Him and I were recorders for Kinoc before the calm.
"You know each other?" Leblanc asked, wanting to know what was goin' on.
"You could say him and I go way back." Logos informed her.
"Oh? Wonderful! That means you'll both get along swimmingly!" She smiled.
"Yeah…" I spoke up.
"Excellent! I'll leave you two to catch up." She told us as she climbed the stairs until she was out of sight.
I turned to Logos. He had his head tilted and was watching her ascend the stairs with a smirk on his face.
"Hey! What are yous starin' at?" I shouted to him, breaking his transfixed gaze.
He shook it off and turned to me, "What? Nothing!"
"Ahh, come on, Logos. Yous were starin' at somethin'!" I said to him.
"I was not staring at her ass!" Logos suddenly realized he had just confessed and slapped his hands over his mouth.
"Sure." I raised an eyebrow.
Logos blushed and shook his head in embarrassment. Right after there was a long period of silence between us. So I decide to bring up some small talk.
"What have you been doing all this time? You left with out a word when we were laid off!" I asked.
"I haven't done much since then, unless picking fights I never started and painting the floor my bile covered breakfast counts." He sighed.
"You have had it bad too?" I asked.
"Indeed." He sighed and turned away, "Luckily she found me and offered me a job. I did not expect you to be here too."
"Same. Maybe it's fate?" I asked.
"Dear lord, I hope its not." I heard him say to himself.
"Hey! I heard what yous said!"
"What? That I rather jump into a pool of hot magma than be stuck with you for life?"
"Hey! Why I outta-"
Suddenly the boss can down the stairs, and walked towards the two of us.
"You outta what?" She asked, "What are you two talking about."
"W-w-well I er…" I stuttered.
"He was just say you outta… um…" Logos began, trying to think of something.
"…err…ahh… thank you!" I ended.
"Oh? Well no need, loves. I should thank you both for agreeing to join me. I need all the help I can get." She smiled and paced around the room, "You see, I'm not the only Sphere hunter in Spira. And I often encounter other sphere hunters who are often after the same sphere as I. They often decide to play dirty and jump other sphere hunters. Which is why I need you two boys."
"Well no need to worry, Miss Leblanc." Logos told her.
"Yeah! Yous can count on us, boss!" I assured her.
"Thank you, Logos. Thank you, Ormi…"
…Ormi…
…Ormi…
…Ormi you pinhead wake up!!!!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ormi woke up with a snort and let out a large yawn. He rolled over to see Logos glaring at him.
"What yous want, Logos?" He asked.
"GET OUT OF MY BED!!!!!!!!!!!!" Logos shouted in Ormi's ear.
Ormi sprang up from the surprise of the shout and fell out of Logos's bed.
"Ow!" Ormi cried.
"Serves you right. You force me out of my bed seven times during the night and squashed me three times!" Logos snarled, "I'm surprised I'm not a pancake!"
"Yous callin' me fat!?" Ormi snarled.
"No, I'm calling you the skinniest man in existence." Logos said sarcastically.
"Oh, well that's better." Ormi smiled.
Logos let out a frustrated sigh and shook his head at his colleague's stupidity.
"Anyway, I woke you up to tell you it's seven A.M, so it's time to wake up the boss." Logos told him.
"Already?" Ormi asked in surprise.
"Yes." Logos sighed in frustration, "Now will you PLEASE get out of my room? I have to get ready to help the boss today."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" Ormi sighed and began to drag himself out of the room.
Just as Ormi was about to exit he turned around.
"Hey Logos, do you remember the day we join the boss?" Ormi asked.
"Yes, why?" Logos questioned.
"…Nothing… never mind." Ormi sighed.
