Chapter 3: Remorse and Regret
RUN. That's all I could do at the moment. Running from the bloodshed, the tears, the frustration...at that moment I wanted to be anywhere but in Zanarkand. There was nothing that could bind me here...The sun was slowly fading away, melting the days problems with its departure. Then I remembered, "Sunset....Lenne!". I rushed through Zanarkands streets and to the harbor; the cool night wind rustled through my hair. I finally arrived at the meeting place, collapsing from lack of breath. It was almost completely dark now, and Lenne was silently sitting at the edge of the dock, watching the last rays of the sun reflect upon the oceans surface. "Hello.." she whispered as I walked closer. I saw the stain of tears upon her smooth face, "What's wrong?". She collapsed into my arms, desperately seeking comfort. I stroked her smooth hair and consoled her until she had stopped crying. "I just can't take it any longer!!!". She stood up and screamed into the wind, "Zanarkand is falling apart..and Kaiyla..she smothers me. She leaves me with no room to grow!! Every door I try to open has been locked in place" her loving brown eyes looked my way, "..until I met you".
It was that night, underneath the stars, that I realized I was truly in love with Lenne. "What's it like being famous? I bet you know everybody. You must have a lot of friends". I was caught a little off guard by her question, "Huh? you mean Blitz?". Lenne laughed, "Of course...what else would I mean?". I had friends.the Abes, and a few people here and there. But my only true friend was Gio..I had forgotten about our fight. Knowing Gio though, things would be back to normal by tomorrow. As for being famous, I hadn't really thought about it..."I mean..it's great having all the cool clothes, and cars, and friends-". Lenne cut me off, "and pretty girls??". I nodded my head, "Yeah..that too.....no! no, no! I mean". Lenne laughed a little, "Oh..I see". "You never gave me a chance to finish.." I said. "What I meant was..It's great having the attention, and the cool things, but there was always something missing". I looked up towards her face, "and I think I've finally found what that was". Lenne blushed a little, and I started talking again, "Well, I mean I REALLY love Blitz. It's what I live for. It's really an intense sport, only the best can play you know". Lenne laughed a bit, I guess I was talking a little TOO much about myself, "It's almost unbelievable when you have all those people watching you...I guess you know that. With dancing and all".
Lenne smiled, "Well..the spotlight isn't really on me.I don't have as much pressure to perform. But I still love it..I'm very lucky". The happiness in Lenne's face slowly faded; it must have been hard for her to just sit back while her sister was the star. I tried to console her, "I know it must be hard.with Kaiyla". Lenne showed a half smile, "No...it's alright, really". I placed my arms around her, "I do understand though...I had the same problem with my father". Lenne seemed surprised, "Your father?". "Yeah". Thinking of him made my eyes swell, "My dad...he was sent to battle to end hostilities. Five years ago,before the war had broken out. To Bevelle". A small gasp escaped from her lips; I had no idea what it had meant then. "He was a summoner" I said quietly, "he was sent with the others..it was suicide..". I tried really hard not to cry in front of Lenne, "for the longest time I felt so guilty. I hated him for his power..for the fame. I didn't realize...I didn't know-". It was too much. I buckled underneath the weight of the pain. I hated Bevelle! "Shuyin...I'm...I'm so sorry. Please Shuyin...". She wiped the tears from my eyes and held me in her arms like a sick child. It was pitiful. I knew that. "I'm sorry" I said embarrassingly. "Never..don't be sorry". I laid down on her lap as she cradled me into calmness.
The night sky was a dull grey, stained with smoke and fire. "I just don't understand...how someone could destroy something so innocent...so precious", her eyes began to well up at the thought of the attack. Now I was trying to be the brave one, "It'll be alright..I promise". How could I promise her that? It was a lie, and I knew it. What if everything wouldn't be alright? What if..what If I lost her? " Your right" she said, "..as long as you're by my side.everything will be alright". She turned to me, "Promise me? Don't leave me. Don't ever leave me". I placed my hand on her face, and gently kissed her, "I promise".
It was around noon when I woke up; I stood up, stretched out my arms, and felt the sun's rays as they reflected on my face. I turned around to see that Lenne wasn't where I had left her the night before. "It's my life Kaiy. I can do what I want!". Uh-oh.
I cautiously walked in the direction of the noise, and hid myself behind a docked boat. Kaiyla and Lenne were fighting again. Kaiyla looked extremely worn out; she looked nothing like the songstress I had seen just days before. She was almost in tears, "Lenne! I have been worried SICK about you! Do you KNOW what's been happening?? HOW WAS I TO KNOW YOU WEREN'T HURT...OR KILLED!?". Lenne didn't seem to care, "Look Kaiy, I'm sorry but-". Kaiyla interrupted once more in an attempt to get through to her sister, "I don't want to hear 'I'm sorry Kaiy' anymore! You're acting just like mom did! And where is mother NOW, Lenne?? Who is taking care of us!? I'd like to know! TELL ME!?" she begged. Lenne was furious, "I never ASKED you to take care of me! I'm old enough to fend for myself KAIYLA. I don't need you, or anyone else on my back any longer!" Kaiyla struck Lenne across the face, sending her to the floor; she was convulsing with anger and sadness and immediately dropped to her knees after her sister. "Lenne! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-..I just- I can't lose you. I'd have no one if it weren't for you...I won't let you make the same mistakes mama made. I won't let you go". Chocking back sobs, Kaiyla bent forward to help her sister up, but with fiery eyes that turned tears into steam, Lenne shoved her sister away, "too late."
Kaiyla lay sobbing on the sand, defeated, as Lenne stormed off. I screamed after her, "Lenne! Where are you going!?". Lenne didn't even turn back, she just ran. Which left ME behind with her crushed sister. "Uh...I'm...are you...well I was going to..abuh...". I still hadn't improved on my public speaking abilities, and I wasn't very good at consoling strangers, either. Kaiyla didn't move, "Go away...please". Her short, blonde hair hung in tangled streams, covering her cheerless face, "I...I just want to be alone". I just shrugged, "Alright, I'm sorry". I began walking down the beach back towards the streets. Suddenly Kaiyla called to me, "Wait! ..wait". She struggled to get herself up; the sand had left imprints on her fragile legs, leaving them blood stained and raw. Her knees began to shake and I offered to help her up, but she continued to move on her own. She pulled back her blonde curls, and revealed the same beautiful eyes Lenne had. "I know you....somehow". I tried not to smiled, "I play for the Zanarkand Abes and.". Kaiyla shook her head, "No. I mean...you're the boy that Lenne was with the other night, aren't you". I scratched the back of my head, unsure of what consequences answering her question would bring; I wasn't to keen on getting slapped in the face. "Yeah. We met after your concert". Kaiyla faked interest, "Well, that's nice...". Her tone had quickly changed from distressed to confident, " I apologize for you having to see us like this. Thing's are just so.." she struggled to find the right word, "stressful..to say the least". The very least. We were on the brink of another war with Bevelle...I thought 'stressful' was a bit understated at the time.
"You must excuse Lenne...she has a very hot temper". And Kaiyla had a hot fist. I didn't' understand why she was calm so suddenly, but her cover was quickly blown. Her confident smile quickly disintegrated, and she fell into a pitiful mass once again upon the sand, "who am I kidding? I can't do this any longer...she hates me. It's only for her protection...for her...". Kaiyla's words were drowned by her constant sobbing. I tried to do the best I could, "There...uhm...there". A pat on the back always seemed to work for Gio. I gave her another comforting pat, "Ah..". I had forgotten my own strength. No more patting. She looked up and smiled, "thanks...I need you to do something for me". Our first meeting and I was already running errands, "I need you...to tell Lenne that I'm leaving for the Great Plains. It has to be done". I was confused, "what has to be done?". She turned towards the ocean, "a chance at peace...I'll do what I must. Just like mother did. I never under stood why she left, but now I do. She did it for us. And I will do this for Lenne". A chance at peace? I wondered if her fall onto the ground at hurt her head, "what are you talking about?". She turned back towards my face, "I'm going to hold a concert to unite all of Spira! Song has the power to move the heart; I hope there is enough power in me to stir Bevelle's". Going to the Plains would be dangerous, "are you sure?". She smiled, "yes...and one more thing. What is your name?". "Shuyin", I answered. "Shuyin...take care of her. For me"
"Lenne, please listen to me". I had already spent an hour at her house trying to persuade her; she wasn't too interested in going to see her sister. "Lenne!". She turned her back to me, "Shuyin, don't get yourself in the middle of this". I turned her towards me, "too late. Lenne, your sister cares for you more than you know. Lenne, she needs you". "I don't care what she needs!" yelled Lenne, "she's not my mother, and I won't have her chain me to her for the rest of my life". "I promised her Lenne". She looked into my eyes, "and I've never intended to break a promise". I held her hand, "not with anyone". My charm had worked, "Ugh! Fine". She gave me a kiss, and retreated to her bedroom. "What are you doing?" I asked. She peeked her head out of her door, "I'm packing". I still didn't get it, "for what??". " I'm staying with you. I'll go see her concert, but that doesn't mean I have to be around her until then". She paused and smiled, "I'm sure you don't mind?". I thought of the math. Lenne and me, plus an apartment all to ourselves. "Are you kidding?".
I walked into the doorway to Gio's apartment, and frantically searched the place to make sure it was clean enough. Dirty dishes cluttered the kitchen, and the apartment smelled like the Abes locker room. Gio, unfortunately, had lost his charm. "Gio!!". He walked out of his bedroom nearly naked, "Get some clothes on man! We have a guest!!". Gio was confused, "guest?". I tried to give him the hint, "YES..G-U-E-S-T". His eyes shot up, "HEY!! Finally man!". He nearly attacked me with a bear hug, "I was wonderin' when you'd be brining a girl home!". I was a just ALITTLE uncomfortable.."Gio..maybe you'd like to put on some pants before..". My timing was bad enough; his was abysmal. Lenne laughed, "Would you two like a moment alone?". I knocked him to the ground, leaving him to search the floor for the pants, "Lenne..Gio. Gio..Lenne". Gio shot up, "Oh! So THIS is Lenne. Heard a lot about ya. You're the girl of his.." Gio tried to hold in laughter, " 'DREAMS' I guess you could say". I punched him in the gut, "Oww...".
I had been getting increasingly nervous. Night time had come, and Lenne and I were the only one's left awake in the apartment. Gio had 'conveniently', as he put it, gone to a friends house, "Just tryin' to help ya out man!!". "Well", I said, "Uhm, you can take my bed, it's a lot more comfortable. I'll just stay here on the couch". Lenne looked slightly disappointed, "Oh..alright". There was about 5 minutes of complete, undisturbed, awkward silence... "Goodnight". I quickly closed her doors and collapsed onto the couch. I was such a coward! We had the place to ourselves, it was perfect. It was about 2 hours later when I got enough courage to knock on her door. I stepped up, tip toed over to her door, and..tripped over a cord, slamming myself through the door and onto her bed, "Who's there!?". Lenne nearly flew off the bed, I couldn't help but laugh, "I'm sorry..I..uhm...I just couldn't sleep with out you". She made room for me on the bed, and I slipped my arms around her waste. The warmth of her body against mine felt really good, and before I had known it, we had both fallen asleep.
I woke up the next morning, to again find myself alone. "Wake up!", Lenne was rushing around the room, getting her things in order. "We have to leave within the next hour if we're going to make it to the concert". I yawned, "...just want to sleep". It took me a good 10 minutes to get out of bed, and another twenty to get ready. We had almost finished packing for the trip when Gio arrived, "Hey...leaving so soon?". I brushed past him reaching for my bags, "We're leaving for the Plains. You know, the concert". Gio's face turned white, "your going??". I had no idea why he was acting so odd, "of course.Lenne wants to see her sister. So I'm going with her". Lenne looked up towards him, "Oh. Your not upset are you? You can come with us too! I can get us in". Gio pulled me aside, "Shuyin..can I speak with ya for a second?". "You can't go" he said. I still didn't get what his problem was, "What?? Why not?". He wasn't making a very good case for himself. "It's too dangerous..I didn't want to say this in front of your new 'friend' but what if something happened? It'd be safer if ya just stayed her with me tonight". Lenne had apparently over heard our conversation, "Look...I appreciate that your looking out for your friend, but I have to see my sister" she looked at me, "I understand if your not coming Shuyin". I looked to Gio, and then back to Lenne. I couldn't abandon Lenne..or my promise. "I have to go with her Gio, I'm sorry". He began to get desperate, "Please man! You don't understand!". I was becoming angry again, "then MAKE me understand!". Gio slung his head forward in defeat. "fine then." He said with a half smile, "I guess your gonna have to make room for three".

Lenne had apparently over heard our conversation, "Look...I appreciate that your looking out for your friend, but I have to see my sister" she looked at me, "I understand if your not coming Shuyin". I looked to Gio, and then back to Lenne. I couldn't abandon Lenne..or my promise. "I have to go with her Gio, I'm sorry". He began to get desperate, "Please man! You don't understand!". I was becoming angry again, "then MAKE me understand!". Gio slung his head forward in defeat. "fine then." He said with a half smile, "I guess your gonna have to make room for three".
