Chapter 6
As night fell, Kuja could tell that they were almost in Lindblum. The waters were more calm here. He knew by the several times he had flown in the Hilda Garde 1 over the city. He had stopped throwing up a while ago, possibly because of the calmer waters, or simply because there was nothing left in his stomach. Yue had fallen asleep sitting against the cabin wall after staying with him for about 9 hours. 'Poor girl...' he thought. He went back to sit next to her. 'She looks so sad... What a horrible life she must've had. I should go and bring her something from Conde Petie. Those dwarves make some really interesting things...' Kuja thought back to earlier that day when the sea was somewhat calm and he could relax for a minute. Flashback
"Do you have any family, Kuja?" Yue asked.
"Umm..." Kuja wondered how to answer this, it was a rather hard question for him. "Not really... Zidane Tribal... He's a bit of a brother... Garland created me, but I despise him. He's, erm... dead now." 'I killed him'
"I used to have a family. But I don't remember much." Yue said, with a faraway look on her face. "My mom was a Divine, but my dad was human. Mother died giving birth to my little brother, who died that day too. My father came from the Mist Continent, and after they died, he got really depressed. He wouldn't talk to anyone, he wouldn't even look at me. He committed suicide when I was five. My aunt took me in. She's Hiraku's mother. She never did like me. She tried to starve me to death. You see, there's this whole complicated situation surrounding High Summoners. After one dies, another is born to take his or, in my case, her place. And, as I am only a half-human female High Summoner, I can only summon the Great Eidolon once. After that, I die... They want someone better. A full- blooded Divine High Summoner can, on average, summon the Eidolon at least four times. You see, depending on how many times it's summoned, the reincarnated Summoner returns sooner or later. Say, for example, the Summoner calls the Great Eidolon three times to save the tribe. After that Summoner dies, it takes three years for the soul to reincarnate. Yet, there's a catch. If the Summoner doesn't call the Eidolon during his life- span, the soul is reincarnated in any child. Any one, any where, at that moment. The very next child to be born anywhere on Gaia becomes the High Summoner. And, guess what. It was me. The Divine tribe wants another try. That's why I was allowed to accompany you on your ever so 'dangerous' departure. So that I die. And, they hope I that I stay dead.
End Flashback
Kuja stared sadly at her sleeping face. She stirred a bit, and leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder, still fast asleep. He was a little startled at first, but he calmed down soon enough. She looked peaceful now, not as sad. To the side of him, Kuja's tail started to swish back and forth, like a cat's tail. In his head, he ran through his old checklist. He had always insisted on having a basic outline of information on everyone he associated with.
Name? Yue Kawakami. Age? Sixteen, nearly seventeen. Birthdate? March 20, one week from today. Parents? Deceased. Relations? Aunt, uncle, and two cousins. High..... summoner.........
His thoughts faded as he drifted away to sleep...
Kuja was pulled to consciousness by a knife at his throat. "What?-- !!!" He looked up to the owner of the blade, Blank.
"That's what I should be askin' you, psycho!" He hissed. "What are you doing sitting next to Yue like that? What damned spell did you cast on her, you freak?!!!" Yue stirred and her eyes blinked open at the noise. Blank quickly hid the knife.
"Spell?" She said, groggy and barely awake. "What spell? I just fell asleep, didn't I? I didn't cast anything, did I?"
"Um... er... no.... you didn't do anythin'...." Blank glared at Kuja, still not trusting his "good intentions". "Well... I jus' came to tell ya, we're about to enter Lindblum, an' you two might want a disguise. Wings ain't that common and a lot of people know what he looks like. They might want to kill him. Cinna's got some stuff for ya in the cabin. See you, I've got to help tie up the ship." He starts to walk off, still watching Kuja warily. Yue called after him, seemingly oblivious to the tension between the two. "Okay, bye Blank!" Turning to Kuja, she gestured in the direction of the cabin. "Well, shall we?"
End Chapter!
