The next morning, well, it didn't go smoothly at all. We all know that Lulu was watching them as Wakka kissed Kumi for the first time, but we never know how much rage that black mage scary lady can conjure up along with a good beating of the flare spell. Everyone was sitting at Kumi's breakfast table when Lulu got as mad. As. Freaking. Hell. "Yum! This is good, Yuna! Thanks for cooking breakfast for us. You're really a great cook!" Kumi smiled when she was finished saying that, and a light blush crept apon Yuna's face. "Oh...Um...Thanks, Kumi. I usually burn eggs when I cook them...But the credit goes to Rikku, really. She helped a whole lot." The sun outside came through the brightly colored stained glass windows that Kumi's mother made before she was killed by Sin. "Those...Kumi, did you make those windows?" Rikku looked up as she said that cheerfully. "Those windows...? No, I wouldn't have the artistic sense to make those. My mom made those. I really miss her a whole lot...I wish that she didn't have to be killed by Sin and sent to the Farplane." Kumi brushed the sad feeling off, and forced a cheerful smile apon her face. "Anyways, who wants to go down to the beach and swim today?" Lulu walked in, at that precise moment. "Hahaha...How pleasent, Kumi. I bet you want to go swimming all alone with my boyfriend!" A snarl came from Lulu, and everyone got up.

"Lulu, what the hell are you talking about?!" That saying came from Tidus' half full with food mouth. "Do be quiet, Tidus! KUMI STOLE WAKKA FROM ME AND SHE KNOWS IT!" "DID NOT!" Kumi stood up, weakly still of course. "Lulu, LOOK WHAT YOU DID! She can hardly stand yet! So go simmer down! It was MY fault that I kissed her, ya?!" He was mad now, and Lulu came up, and slapped Kumi to the floor. "Just stay away from him, little girl. Things will change and the next time anyone will see you is in a hospital bed if you don't." Lulu growled, and walked out, while Kumi started to cry. "Ahh...What bit her ass today?" Rikku grinned and helped Kumi up, and in that precise moment, Kumi just ran flying through the doorway of the small house crying. "Lulu just had to do that...Didn't she?" Auron stood up and straightened. "Yuna, I will go and find Kumi. You and Rikku go and try to sort things out with Lulu. "She needs to lighten up on people...Ya? AURON WAIT! I'll help you!" Auron went outside, with Wakka close behind.

Yuna and Rikku entered the small guest room that Lulu was staying. "...What do you two want?" Lulu, who was unsuspecting, was crying...Silently, and hardly noticible. "Lulu...Wakka explained it all...It wasn't Kumi's fault, and that HES the one who kissed her first." Yuna smiled at Lulu, and Rikku came from behind Yuna. "Yeah, Lulu! don't be mad at the girl! She IS my best friend, after all! Well, next to Yuna, anyways." Lulu got up from the bed. "But...I...Oh never mind. I just have to say sorry to Kumi...Oh dear, I bruised her face, didn't I? I'm really sorry." Lulu went to the doorway, Yuna and Rikku behind her all the way. Auron and Wakka found Kumi sitting in the small hidden part of the beach where Tidus found the Moon Crest. She was crying.

"Kumi...Hello...KUMI! There." Kumi looked up at Auron, and wiped her nose off on her sleeve. She looked like a thousand sorrows hit her face on impact of the blow from Lulu. "Look, Lulu didn't mean it...Ya? She just gets really mad like this sometimes...I'm sorry, Kumi." Wakka said that as he helped her up, and Auron grinned. "Hey, think about it, Kumi. Mabye you can hit Lulu back for what she did. Payback to the black mage, huh?" The two men laughed, and the sun was beginning to darken in the rain clouds. "Its going to storm..." Kumi sniffled and pointed towards the sky. "Huh...? OH! Well, lets go then. We don't want you getting sick, do we Auron?" Auron nodded in agreement. "Sometimes...All a person needs is someone to care," Kumi muttered, as she was carried back to the hut, and dodging the small rain drops that came from the sky. "This reminds me of...A story, Yuna." Rikku sat down with everyone by the fire, when Kumi, Auron and Wakka came in, soaking wet. "Look what the cat dragged in!" Tidus laughed when he said that, and took another drink of his soda.

"ACHOO! Anyways, we're drowned rats! La di dah! Anyways..." Kumi said as Lulu stood up, and came over to Kumi. "Kumi...I'm really sorry that I did that. I had no right to hit you, even though I was mad. Will you forgive me?" "I'll not forget this, but yes, I forgive you, Lulu!" Kumi smiled. "And besides, its bad to keep a grudge. It just gets worse every day of it...Believe me, I know. Especially with Wakka's pudding accident. I was mad, but I let it go. This house always had a lemony fresh scent after that..." Everyone laughed at that, and friendship was back again between the enemies.
