Kuja quickly spun about to see the speaker. ÒYou there! How did you know that IÕm from Terra?!Ó He hissed. ÒWho are you?Ó
ÒHeh, letÕs just say that I happen to know a bit more about the world than the other idiots here.Ó The voice replied. Kuja flinched a bit at this.
ÒAre... are you afraid of me then?Ó He asked timidly, rather afraid of the answer.
ÒAfraid? Never. I cannot be afraid now, Kuja, Ôlittle angel of deathÕ... I often just prefer the truth of life to some blissful lie... No matter how much it hurts me. And, as to who I am, my name is Yue Kawakami, and IÕm that Ôworthless idiotÕ that youÕve no doubt heard of... In other words, the half-human, half-Divine High Summoner. Use in case of fire.Ó
ÒHeh!Ó An actual smile threatened to break on KujaÕs face. ÒBut, would you actually mind stepping out of those shadows so I can see you? Miss Yue Kawakami?Ó
ÒOf course I donÕt mind.Ó Therefore, Yue Kawakami stepped out of her little corner. Kuja was amazed. Sure, the village girls were pretty enough, but this girl should be a queen! ÔShe holds herself like a queen...Õ Kuja quickly evaluated all he could about her, he had become a master of figuring out peoplesÕ true nature by first impressions. ÔRather tall, compared to most of the villagers... 5 foot 8? No, 5 foot 7. If I had to guess, but a few inches shorter than me. Fair skin, blue eyes. Long, almost to the floor, brilliant red hair, pointed ears, but... smaller than everyone elseÕs here. TheyÕre about the size of my ears, just more angular at the top: they still come to a point... A very pale face. SheÕs wearing a really heavy looking, black cloak, it comes out in the back? Why? Is she deformed? A... hunchback?Õ Ye noticed his eyes lingering on her back. ÒIf you would excuse me, Sir Kuja.Ó She began to walk away, still holding herself... ÔSheÕs like that princess. The way she acts... itÕs like... ZidaneÕs princess. Garnet... or did they call her something else? No, why do I care? ItÕs getting too hot in here. IÕm going to go outside to breathe as well. I wonder how old she is? She looked about 17... About my age... (A.N.- In this story, Kuja is about a year older than Zidane: who is 16.) What? Where are they going?Õ
About five young children, of about seven or eight years old it looked like, followed Yue out the door, trying to sneak after her. Kuja followed them as silently as he could. Outside, the children sped off towards Yue, sprinting as fast as they could. She turned quickly to face them, but while the four of them distracted her by pulling at her hair and arms, the oldest boy ran behind her and pulled off her cloak to reveal... ÔWings?!! What is going on here?!!Õ Yue was definitely not a hunchback, she had only been hiding a pair of perfectly white wings, at least a 12 foot wingspan!
The children ran around her and laughed. ÒHahahahaha!!! You try to hide your stupid wings from the newcomer!Ó ÒThat proves youÕre ashamed of them!!Ó Yue glared daggers at the children, and ran off into the nearby forest, tears stinging at her eyes. ÒWhy?Ó Kuja asks quietly.
ÒHuh?Ó The oldest child, the boy, who seemed to be HikaruÕs brother, said.
ÒWhy do you torture people different from you?!!I havenÕt made fun of your ears! And you donÕt make fun of my tail, so why make fun of her??!!!Ó His voice was rising in volume and so was his temper. The boy laughed nervously and said, ÒCalm down, man! ItÕs jusÕ bÕcause her wings are useless! I mean, she canÕt even fly! Hey, come on man, whoÕs ever heard of a High Summoner whose wings donÕ work?Ó Hikaru spoke up. ÒItÕs Ôcause sheÕs half human. SheÕs got dirty blood.Ó ÒWell,Ó Kuja said, ÒThat gives you no right to make fun of her. She canÕt help it. It would be like making fun of you for having brown hair, Hikaru. Think about it...Ó ÔYeah, like I should talk. I am being such a hypocrite... IÕve been sounding so much like Zidane... Oh well...Õ He started walking off in the direction that Yue had dashed off in only a few moments before...
