Lucky: This chapter was made by me... I do say I'm quite happy with it... R&R :D
Lulu looked upon her mothers pale corpse. "Mommy..." she wiped away a tear and bent down. She placed two coins on her mothers eyes. The little girl's eyes widened, and saw the pearl necklace still hanging around her mothers neck. 'it didn't break' she thought. She carefully lifted her mothers head, making an attempt to roll the necklace off of her. She then placed it around her own neck, "You'll always be with me... That's, what you said..."
"HEY! THERE'S SOMETHING GLOWING UNDERNEATH THE TEMPLE'S RUBBLE!" a priest yelled.
Lulu quickly turned her head, she saw the few remaining people of the island rush towards the temple. She quickly did Yevon 'prayer' before leaving her mother to see what all the commotion was about.
"It is a new Fayth!" yelled a priestess.
Lulu's eyes twinkled "More summoners...More aeons... More calms" she shook her head "More dead bringing Sin". The small girl managed to squeeze through the crowded people. She gasped as she saw the globular orb glowing in front of her. 'She's... One of them now...' Lulu thought. She placed a hand over the Fayth. No sight had ever been as horrifying, yet beautiful as this was.
Inside of the orb laid a woman, her neck covered in red feathers, wings sprouting from her back. A tail curling over her body, almost touching her head where her silky black hair drooped to the hard stone floor. Lulu knew for sure, her mother had become a Fayth, she felt it.
"Pretty, ya?"
Lulu looked behind her, to see a boy. His hair was mandarin orange, spiked up. "'ya' it is" Lulu mocked. She turned her head away.
"Don't be like that... Your not the only one who lost your parents ya?" he held his hand out "I'm Wakka"
She looked at him "Lulu..." she replied. "I never seen you around the village before" the five year old took a few steps closer to Wakka.
"Yo! Wakka! There's a huge'o pile 'a do-"
"This is my brudda, Chappu" Wakka said looking embarrassed. The seven year old scratched his head. "He's a little psyched too, ya?"
"ya..." Lulu rolled her eyes. She turned her back on the silly boys and walked towards of the remains of her mothers little hut.
"So....uh... See you later...Ya?" Wakka called out.
Lulu poked her head out of the hut "I highly doubt that..."
11 Years Later...
"Wakka!!! Pass it over here! I'm open!" Chappu yelled. The 16 year old swam swiftly through the sphere pool. "Quit hoggin' the ball, ya?"
Wakka laughed and tossed the ball to Chappu "Can't even have my three seconds of fame..."
Lulu stood on the sidelines, her wavey black tied up in a ponytail. "C'mon Chappu..." she whispered. "GO GET 'EM AUROCHS!" she cheered for her local team at the semi finals in Luca.
"Looks like Wakka's just sitting there waiting for the ball to come by." Said an announcer.
"And what await! His little brother Chappu is taking the lead."
"Countdown, 3, 2 , 1 And the Aurochs are OUT OF TIME! This concludes another victory for the Luca Goers."
The crowd booed down the Aurochs as they exited the sphere pool. Lulu came down to greet her two comrades, but both seemed beat and tired. Wakka sat on a bench in the locker rooms and tried to get dry. While Chappu dug around in his locker for another towel.
"I'm you, didn't win...again" Lulu said. She tried smiling for a change, but it didn't want to show.
Chappu laughed. His eyes met Lulu's "Must you always look so grumpy Lulu? Smile, ya?"
Wakka chuckled "You expect too much outta that Vixen"
Lulu glared at Wakka.
"What?! It was just a joke ya?"
She shook her head and headed out of the locker rooms so the boys could change.
Lulu never did really smile a lot since her mother died. Only around Chappu she would feel, her normal self again.
FlashBack
Lulu stared at the violin in front of her. No matter how many times she had tried, she just couldn't play without hitting a sour note. The nine-year-old sighed and made yet another attempt at playing it.
Chappu and his smiley face walked in with Wakka. The boys set the Blitzballs aside, Wakka collapsing on the bed too. "Whatcha up to Lulu?" Chappu asked. He bent down to where Lulu was sitting. She was pretty small compared to Chappu.
"Trying not to hit a sour note" she said blankly. She set the violin down and layed back, her crimson eyes hiding behind her wavy hair.
"Need help?" Chappu asked.
"No thanks... I bet your worse at violin playing then you are at Tic-Tac-Toe" Lulu replied.
Chappu laughed "No, I mean need some advice?"
Lulu sat up and raised an eyebrow "What kind of advice Chappu?"
He lifted her chin "Maybe if you lose your anger for the violin and concentrate more on the music you'll be able to play better" he let go and headed for the door. "And Lulu... Wipe that face off, you look so...grumpy..." he laughed and walked out the door.
Lulu couldn't help but smile a bit. When she noticed Wakka staring at her she put her emotionless appearance back on. "What?" she asked cruely.
"Nothing..." Wakka said "I'm just, gonna go with Chappu...ya?" Wakka scurried out the door faster than a Chipmunk on rice.
Lulu picked the violin up 'concentrate on the music...' she thought. Lulu sat and played, the violin making it's beautiful sounds. "Music..." she smiled yet again "Thank you...Chappu" she said softly. She then resumed playing until the break of day...
End FlashBack
"Lu! Are you getting on the boat or what?" Wakka asked. It seemed Lulu had spaced out. "We're going home now ya?"
"I'm coming" she said.
"What?! I can't hear you speak louder!" Wakka yelled from the ramp.
"SHUT UP AND I'LL GET THERE" the anger in her voice was enough to get Wakka scurrying into the cabin.
"Firey" he said to himself.
Lulu made her way forward towards the docks "Firey is right" Lulu looked to her mog and nodded to it, as if giving it confirmation.
"AHHHHHH MY HEADBAND!!"
Lulu chuckled, evilly, almost, "Nothing a little fire can do to soothe the soul, eh Wakka?" she asked boarding the ship.
Wakka glared at her, holding his burnt bandana "Ah, damnit... Why are you so mean to me Lulu?!"
Lulu sat on a chair, her legs crossed, her arms wrapped around her various dolls. 'I don't know why...' She thought 'I guess it's because your very easily disturbed Wakka... Your fun to pick on' She practically fell off her chair when she noticed a gigantic beast was standing next to her.
His ocean blue fur shimmered in the wind. His clothing, made of goat skins and wool said he was from cold climate. Definatly a Ronso from Mt. Gagazet, possibly a blitz player, though he didn't seem like one. His eyes shifted back and forth, they seemed to be following something. But what, exactly?
Ah, yes... The beast's dark eyes were following a young girl of 10 years. She'd been happily playing with one of the Blitzballs that just happened to be sitting around. The Ronso made his way towards the girl, his golden hair flapping in the wind. "Kimahri thinks Yuna should stay closer to Cabin... Kimahri worried Yuna will fall... Yuna fall back in Moonflow when riding Shoopuff..." he shook his head.
Yuna, looked at Kimahri with glee in her eyes "Ok!" She happily skipped alongside the large beast as they made their way to the cabin.
Lulu stared in awe. A young girl? Yuna? Yuna?....Lord Braska's daughter Yuna? Lulu was in shock. 'If that's Lord Braska's daughter...' she thought for a moment. She remembed the last time she saw Lord Braska. He was a travelling summoner, who came to Besaid to retrieve an Aeon from the temple.
FlashBack
"A summoner!!!!" yelled a priest. People began crowding. It had been seven years since the death of Raine... and the appearance of the temples new Fayth. "Hail to lord Braska of Bevelle!"
Lulu did her prayer, and paid her respects to the lord as he walked down the aisle towards the temple of yevon. Wakka and Chappu stood next to her, just as curious and as stunned as she was.
Neither of them remembered what the Fayth looked like. They had built a taller temple over it, so the Fayth would be the in the lowest chamber. "Ma use to say, a Fayth was someone who was killed by Sin. Someone who chose to become a Fayth to aid summoners in battle!" Wakka explained.
"Are you sure ma said that?" Chappu asked
"No... But it's good ya?" Wakka punched his little brother and laughed.
Moments later, the summoner emerged from the temple. The people crowded once again. "I shall call forth... My Aeon..." Lord Braska announced. And with a 'whoosh' of his staff the sky formed a cloud of mist... And from that mist, was Valefor born into the earth for the first time.
Lulu stared at Valefor, as Valefor stared at Lulu. "Mother" she whispered.
The Aeon roared, it's red feathers ruffling around it's neck. "I know... I'll avenge you... I have to..." she slowly made her way forwards towards the Aeon.
Braska looked to Valefor, who seemed to be closing in on her. "DISMISSED!" he yelled.
Lulu gasped as a singled tear dropped from it's eye before it fled away into a cloud of dust. Anger formed deep within her heart. She wanted nothing more but to see her mother... It was eating her up on the inside...
Chappu put a hand on her shoulder "S'ok...Ya?..."
She smiled weakly, wondering how Chappu knew she was sad. She shook her head and made her way back to the hut... Knowing that she'd forever wonder, and never find out...
End FlashBack
Lulu got up from her sitting spot, it was getting late and she had been dozing off too many times. So she decided she'd head for the cabin.
"Lulu..."
The 16-year-old turned around to see Chappu "Chappu... Go to sleep... You worked hard today, you deserve some rest" she assured.
"I-I couldn't sleep" he gulped "I was...up, thinking bout you..." Lulu gave him a weak smile and continued her way towards the cabin. "Wait Lulu..." Chappu gripped her shoulders.
Lulu gave him a stern look "Chappu, I can't... Not now... I'm been...Thinking" she shook her head.
Chappu nodded "I understand" He looked at her disappearing figure, walking down the steps "Tomorrow night?"
"It's a date"
