Chapter Two – Introductions of a Foreigner

---------------------------------

"Yuna, we really need to start out soon, you know"

"I know, I know, I just want to make sure this girl is okay..."

"Why doesn't someone use a potion on her, ya?"

A sudden cool sparkling sensation spread quickly through my body and my eyes snapped open.

"See, what did I tell ya, it worked! Now let's go!"

I turned my head over to the direction of the voices and squinted until my eyes came into focus.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" I screamed as I tumbled off the bed and backed all the way into the side of the canvas hut I was in. Shaking so much that it must have shown, I raised my hand to point an index finger at the woman in the black dress.

"Y-y-you!" I stuttered.

The woman in black focused her gaze on my face, showing me I had her attention.

"What's... your name?" I asked. If this woman's name was Lulu, I was so going to have a heart attack right then and there.

"Lulu," she stated.

I stumbled backwards a few more steps and fell back against the canvas. Okay this was just a little too weird... no, not just weird, this was freakin' freaky!

I pointed to the man with the orange spiked hair. "You're Wakka."

Wakka looked at me closely from where he was standing, studying my features to see if he could place whether or not he had seen me before.

Pointing to the girl with the long sleeves and shoulder-length brown hair, "You're Yuna.." I stated.

I continued along the row of people who had haunted my dreams for the past few weeks. "Tidus, and Kimahri..." I blinked. "Where are Rikku and Auron?"

"Who the heck are you talking about, ya?" Wakka asked, a bewildered look on his face, probably due to the fact that I had just named each of his comrades without even thinking.

I noticed that Tidus' face had shown the smallest hint of recognition at the two names, but I pretended I didn't notice.

"Uh.. never mind." I replied. Why had I opened my big mouth? Rikku and Auron were still strangers to these people, it was creepy enough that five out of the seven people in my dreams were here anyway.

I looked at Yuna, who looked away quickly. What was wrong with her? It was Lulu who voiced the answer.

"How did you know our names?" She asked in her cool tone of voice. "Where did you come from? We found you blacked out behind this hut last night around midnight and it's now nearly sunset. You've been out cold for who knows how long before we found you."

I licked my dry lips, trying to buy myself some time to answer. How much information should I give these people? From my dreams they seemed trustworthy enough, but how much could I trust them? Hell, how did I know this wasn't a dream right now in the first place? I sighed. 'I may as well tell them everything...' I thought to myself. "If this is a dream, it won't make a difference... and if this is real, well, we'll figure that out on the way...'

"I came from a place called Earth," I started. I had refrained from using the word 'planet' as I didn't want to totally confuse these people who had probably never heard of alternate planets other than their own. "I have no idea how I got here... one minute I was sketching a drawing, and the next minute, I woke up here."

"What's your name?" Yuna asked. It was the first time she had spoken to me directly. There was a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Ember.... Ember Yevon" I replied.

"Yey-vonne?" Wakka repeated. "Hey.. that sounds an awful lot like.."

"Yevon." Lulu interrupted.

At the mention of the word Yevon, Wakka did a weird bow sort of thing, in which his hands ended up in a cupped circle in front of his chest.

I looked at him, puzzled. "What was that all about?" I asked, referring to the little thinger he just did with his hands.

Wakka's eyes went wide as he gasped. "You don't know... the prayer?!"

"Prayer to what?" I asked.

"Yevon," Lulu answered for Wakka. "How far away is your Earth from here?"

"I really have no clue.." I responded. "I do know for a fact though, that..."

"That what?" Tidus prompted when I didn't finish my sentence.

"That it's a different planet." I finished in a quiet whisper.

When nobody spoke after a few minutes, I looked at Yuna. "Yuna.. can I have a word with you? In private?" I asked.

"Um.. sure. Let's go for a walk." Yuna suggested.

I nodded, following her out of the hut.

After we had walked for a few minutes, I stopped and turned to Yuna. I knew I had to do this, I had been referred to as this title in the dreams I had had, and this is how I would come to claim that title.

"Yuna," I started. "I would like to become your guardian and travel with you on your pilgrimage." I said all in one breath. Why was I so nervous?

Yuna smiled at me warmly. "For some reason, I feel that I know you from somewhere." She said. "And for that reason, I accept your offer."

I sighed a breath of relief. Why had she seemed so nervous around me just a few minutes back? "Should we head back then? That's what I wanted to talk to you about..."

Yuna nodded, turning around to follow the path back to the hut.

When we arrived back at the hut, Yuna made the announcement, to everyone's shock.

"But Yuna! You hardly know her, ya!" Wakka argued.

"Wakka, you know the rules better than anyone," Lulu said. "Once Yuna has accepted an offer of a potential guardian, the offer cannot be retracted unless mutually withdrawn between Summoner and Guardian."

Wakka made a noise of what I took as anger in his throat. "But look! She has green eyes! She must be an Al-Bhed! I ain't traveling with no dirty Al-Bheds, ya!" he said, raising his voice on the last sentence.

"She's not an Al-Bhed, Wakka. Learn some tolerance." Lulu said, exasperated. "When have you seen an Al-Bhed with black hair? Besides, her eyes don't have spirals in them."

Wakka made another noise in his throat and left the hut angrily.

"It's settled then," Lulu said coolly. "We leave at daybreak. Now get some rest, this may be the last time you sleep in a bed for a while." At that, Lulu also left the hut, probably to find Wakka.

"You can sleep there," Yuna pointed to the bed that I had woken up on. "If you need anything, let me know, okay?"

I nodded and lay down on the bed. Before I knew it, I had drifted off to sleep.

A/N: I don't know if this chappie had any amount of excitement, but hopefully it entertained you guys. I always have a hard time starting out chappies, I know what I want to do in a chapter usually, but I never know how to start it. Blah. Well, review and let me know what you think!
