Disclaimer and Author Note: Well, I might as well get the necessary stuff over with, because this is going to be a little long. I donÕt own FF9.
Miss Zenith ()- Please, if you happen to not like my story, please donÕt read it. IÕm not trying to be rude or anything, but please: No like, no read. And, okay. IÕll see what I can do about making Kuja a bit more insane... But this is sort of a waffy fic. Sorry. ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!! materiathief06, Yuffie K.
Chapter 4
Kuja had been walking for about half an hour when he saw a small figure sitting against a tree, a small figure with wings... ÒMiss Lament? Are you alright?Ó Kuja called out softly. It was obvious that the ÒHigh SummonerÓ was crying. She sniffed and faced him, smiling a little.
ÒYes,Ó she said quietly, ÒWhy wouldnÕt I be?Ó ÒBecause I know that you were crying. Do you... you want to talk?Ó Yue turned away. ÒNot really, sir. I would just like to be left alone, please.Ó ÒAs you wish...Ó Kuja said. A break in the overhanging clouds pushed back the heavy shadows of the forest so that Kuja could at last get a good look at the young woman. ÔWow... Zidane would probably pass out if he could see her... She probably has the best fashion sense of anyone in this stupid place It suits her rather nicely.Õ
Yue was wearing a long, dark blue tunic with a black sash tying it around her slim waist. loose, off-white pants with black leather boots. ÔThose clothes definitely arenÕt from around here... I believe, I saw people making some like them... in... Alexandria? Yes, I think so... Before I let Bahamut loose, of course. Those colors suit her fairly well. SheÕs not as... ::Ahem:: ÒFilled outÓ.... as ZidaneÕs princess... well, Queen now... A technicality. But, sheÕs still rather feminine... She looks like sheÕs been crying for a while now... she face is red... she looks so, so... depressed.Õ Quietly, YueÕs voice interrupted KujaÕs thoughts. ÒI hate it here.Ó Yue said quietly. ÒI want to leave. I want to burn down the whole place and leave.Ó
Ò.....Ó Kuja was quiet for a moment. ÔMaybe... I could... Heh... One flare could do it. The whole village would be in flames... no... no! I canÕt! Someone might hear of it... IÕll be killed, almost again. Maybe I could... Yes. I want to help her, and help her I shall. Another lie, another black mark. If, for every bad deed that I have committed, a black mark is placed upon my soul, it is already black as night, so whatÕs another mark? One more mark. For her.Õ ÒCome with me.Ó He said. YueÕs head snapped up, her voice sharp, suspicious. ÒWhy?Ó Kuja replied with his old confident smile on his face. ÒI love causing trouble. So, I can help.Ó ÔAnd maybe, just maybe, I can start to repent.Õ
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
ÒWhat?! You want to leave?Ó The village elders were shocked when Kuja had told them, and now he had to explain again. ÒYes sir. As I said,Ó He said calmly, ÒI have a brother living in Alexandria. He is getting married and IÕm to be his best man. I cannot let him down.Ó ÔHA!Õ He thought. ÔWhat a joke! Zidane wouldnÕt want me at his wedding even if his life depended on it.Õ
ÒWell,Ó One man said. ÒAlright, youÕre free to go... But how will you get there?Ó Yue quickly interrupted, catching onto KujaÕs plan. ÒI know a water route. But, itÕs very dangerous, barely anyone makes it through...Ó The adults all looked at one another quickly... After a moment, another old man stood and faced Yue and Kuja. ÒAs you wish. You, Yue Kawakami, shall accompany Sir Kuja to this... wedding g. You set out tomorrow at dawn. Good luck to thee.Ó And therefore their fate was sealed. They would escape thanks to a cunning lie. Yue would be free.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kuja was shaken awake before the sunÕs first rays lit the sky. ÒCome Kuja, we set out now.Ó Yue whispered softly. Kuja peeked out the window. ÒBut itÕs not even dawn!Ó Yue smirked. ÒRight. We donÕt want them to see us walking in the direction opposite the falls, do we?Ó Kuja was quite awake now. ÒWhat?Ó ÒShhhh. Get your stuff together and IÕll explain once weÕre down the road a bit.Ó
Kuja did as he was told and once they had been walking for about twenty minutes, Yue spoke. ÒThereÕs actually no pass in the north, only deadly waterfalls. WeÕre going south. ThereÕs a tiny port there. Pirates often hide their ÔtreasureÕ here. I traded them for these clothes. WeÕre going to get a ride to Lindblum, and from there we can find our way to Alexandria.Ó ÒI donÕt really have a brother there...Ó Kuja said. ÒI know.Ó Yue replied. ÒBut ZidaneÕs there. He went back to the Desert Palace and locked it. That is your house, no?Ó ÒIt is...Ó ÒWell, weÕre going to get the key so you can go home.Ó ÒOkay, and what do you have to give these pirates in return for a ride?Ó ÒThey owe me.Ó ÒOkay, I guess IÕll trust your judgment, then.Ó ÒGood. You should. ItÕs not all bad sometimes.Ó
