-The Power Of Love Conquers All-

Author's Chat Section: Well good day everyone. This is chapter 5 for a story that is still in my continuation. It's so exciting. Why you probably ask? I have so many ideas for this story it'll take me a while before I could finish it completely. Well I changed the category to romance/drama. I decided to put drama cause things will start to get dramatic later on. Now I just want to give thanks to my ever so kind and thoughtful reviewers... craZy18gurl I really appreciate all those kind reviews you gave me, that really makes me want to write even more. Also to Ikonopeiston and JesiLee thank you sooo much. Well I'm also kind of happy that I updated a story that I began writing last year so hey that's cool. Anyways if you like Harry Potter and simply adore Draco/Hermione as a couple then check my fic about them, named Against All Reasons. I really want to hear all your opinions about my story so don't forget to review. Thanks!

The disclaimer that everyone really hates and that the author wishes to destroy so she could finally own all the Final Fantasy X-2 characters: It's just self-explanatory. Don't you think?

Chapter 5- Dreaming Of Her Love

Her dream took place in a dark forest, similar to Macalania, but the trees were all together and they completely covered the endless light from the glittery elements wavering through the air.

"Where am I?" She walked around the forest but still ended up in the same place as she was before.

She heard footsteps from behind her. The footsteps kept on getting closer and closer. Leblanc turned around and searched for the source of those sounds. As she saw a tall figure she squinted her eyes, then she realized that the tall figure was none other than Nooj.

She beamed with happiness. "Noojie!" She ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

Leblanc buried her face in his muscular chest, soaking in every breath he took. But Nooj didn't seem to budge at all. He just stood there breathing slowly and not even hugging Leblanc back.

Leblanc looked up at his face. She was getting worried. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Still no answer...

Leblanc felt that something was definitely wrong with him. Then suddenly she heard gunshots then more and more. Nooj fell in her grasp. Now all that she was feeling now was fear and pain.

"Nooj? Noojie!!!" She screamed.

Nooj had been shot from the back. She quickly laid him down on the ground as she rapidly began looking around for any potions that could help him stop the bleeding. But she found nothing.

"I have to stop the bleeding. It's getting worse." Leblanc tore up a piece of her clothing from the leg part of her outfit and began pressing down the clothing on his back.

"Don't die." She started to cry. "Please don't die."

His eyes opened up slowly. "Leblanc I'm sorry I have to..." When Nooj said that his voice grew weak.

Her eyes widened as she saw his head. He was growing weaker and weaker as his breathing motion slowed down. Leblanc was now crying hysterically. Then she heard even more gunshots.

She stood up. "WHO IN THE WORLD IS DOING THAT?"

Leblanc heard no response.

"Hey girl. Wake up! WAKE UP!" Wantz was now shaking her by the shoulders.

"No, Nooj. Noojie... NOOOOO!" She suddenly woke up.

Leblanc touched her head with her hand. She felt hot and sweaty. Actually her entire body was sweaty. Then she noticed she her leg was covered by her blood. Wantz threw her a Hi-Potion.

The potion didn't seem to minimize her pain. So she touched her leg to make sure the bleeding stopped.

"Oww..."

Wantz grabbed her shoulders and began to bandage her wounded leg with some cloth. She only yelped in pain a few times but then the pain lowered down a bit as he threw her an antidote.

"I guess I should've given you this before. Sorry I didn't know much about giving potions only know making them." He smiled.

Leblanc looked famished. Even though she was sleeping she still felt tired and was in immense pain.

"W-what happened?"

Then she noticed that Wantz was carrying her love fan.

She pointed at it. "And what are you doing with my fan."

When she had said that she almost felt like fainting. But for some reason she felt safe within the arms of a complete stranger as she began to feel a little bit woozy.

Why is he holding me like this? And bandaged my leg. I might not know this person very well, but anything that helps the pain to go away, is a good thing. My leg... It's hurts so much.

"Ahhhh..."

"Hey girl, try not to move around so much. It'll only make it hurt even more, just wait a while until the antidote kicks in completely."

Leblanc gritted her teeth. "I have a name you know."

"Oh okay then what's your name."

"Leblanc, remember that name well, love."

"It's Nice to meet you Leblanc. I saw you leave the travel agency but I never really got to talk to you. But a little while after you left I began to clean around the place when I saw that fan of yours. My brother told me that you might needed it so I came back to give it to you, but I searched around Macalania I heard you calling out some guy's name. Then as I got even closer, I noticed a fiend was attacking you. Well you were still sleeping but I noticed that that fiend was biting your leg. I just shot it and it quickly died. You on the other hand are kind of hurt. So I just gave you some potions to at least make the pain go away." He smiled.

Leblanc now looked at him with a face of relief. "So those were just gunshots from you to the fiend not for..." She hugged him and began to cry. This time it wasn't because she was in pain.

Wantz was quite surprised. "Wow. Does your leg hurt that much?"

Leblanc buried her face in Wantz's chest, and shook her head. "No silly I'm just happy. Thank you so much for saving me, and bringing me back my love fan. Without you I could've been slaughtered by that fiend."

"Well, Leblanc you're very welcomed. "Wantz hugged her back.

I don't understand. At first she got mad because I didn't know her name, and now she's happy because I told her that it was I who fired those gunshots. Gee... Women sure are weird. But it's nice that she's grateful for me helping her. She really doesn't seem like the type of girl who would do such a thing, but either way.

Wantz looked at her face, when he noticed that her face was sweaty and full with her drying tears he gently wiped it off with his sleeve.

He's very nice and extremely helpful. Oh... Huh? Wait I'm suppose to get going to Bevelle. Now I really have to hurry.

She escaped the embracing moment between her and Wantz and gathered all her things before she fell again. Luckily Wantz caught her.

"Umm... You should wait a while. Ya know so your leg could fully heal."

Leblanc pushed him away gently. "I really don't have time I got to go to Bevelle."

"Well, don't you worry. I'll help you get there. Never know fiends might come back." He winked afterwards.

She looked at him a bit confused. "Don't you think you helped me out enough? I really appreciate all your help but I don't want to interrupt with your work and everything."

He only chuckled. "It's okay really I'll just take you Bevelle, it shall be no problem. Besides by the time we get there your leg will be completely healed. So it's really no problem for me."

He does have a point there. If I go to Bevelle just by myself my leg won't fully recover so then I can't find Noojie-Woojie right away.

"Well..." She Hesitated in answering.

He gave a thumbs up while still continuning to wink. "Come on, what do you say. Maybe you could find that Nooj guy there and we'd be all set."

How did he... Oh never mind. I guess I'll just accept his help once more.

She smiled and grabbed his hand. Wantz then took her left arm and put it around his neck.

"See. It isn't so bad after all."

"Yeah." She grabbed her bag and Love Fan and carried it all in her other hand. Although it was heavy a load, she truly did appreciate his kind efforts in at least trying to support her and her enormous amount of weight. Even though they did lumped to side a bit, but still it was enough for her.

"You sure it's okay for you?" She asked.

"Like I said it's really no problem."

She lowered her head. "Thank you..." She mumbled.

Wantz was able support and walk Leblanc to Bevelle without the encountering the slightest of danger.

Author's Note: Aww... Isn't Wantz the nicest? Helping Leblanc like that. Well anyways I had a hard time doing this chapter. I donno why. I guess because I was so busy, with many other things, I just couldn't flow out the words correctly. But whatever. Until next chapter. With much love. Dark Shedevil.
