Leblanc got closer to Yuna to tell her the news. Luthae was nervous. What would she say? Leblanc reached Yuna.
"I've got something to tell you love." She began.
Come on just tell her already. It's worse waiting. Anyway don't you have better things to do? Oh isn't Nooj visiting today or something?
After that thought that Luthae had been wiling to come true a strange thing happened.
"Oh it doesn't matter I've just thought Noojie is visiting today. I've missed him so much since he left early rather than staying till upper six." She almost skipped off down the hall. Tidus breathed a sigh of relief. Luthae wasn't though. She was wondering what was happening to her.
Nah it must be coincidence. I can't have done anything like that I mean I'm only a Guado I could do anything like that. "Erm could I meet up later?" Luthae asked, "There's some things I wanna do."
"Sure no prob, we'll be at the Moonflow when you wanna come. See ya later Luty." Yuna said. Everyone including Tidus who Luthae had convinced to go saying she'd see him later went out. Luthae however went back to her room.
When she was in her room she sat on her bed and thought about what had just happened.
"Oh Lenne she said to herself. What is happening to me? First I can read minds and now share them? I know I wanted to get to know people but this is to close for comfort."
Luthae then lay down on the bed and had a doze.
Fayth I feel so tired I'll just catch forty winks.
Luthae let herself succumb to a dream of what she thought would make her forget the whole thing.
Hey where am I? Oh well it's a dream so I don't really care. Wait I am I in Zanarkand?!
"Hello? Is anyone here? Hello?"
Wait someone is here-. Huh Lenne? Lenne is that you? Why are you are you towering above me up there? Okay? Fayth I'm not liking this. But Lenne what the Fayth are you doing here. You're well... not among us any more.
'Lenne' knelt down her hands clasped together looking just above the place where Luthae supposedly was.
"Hi I know your probably not listening, you're never here, but I'm scared I don't know what's going to happen. I'm scared Bevelle are going to do something. What can I do?" she paused and then tears seemed to fall from her eyes, "Why won't you help us?..." she pleaded.
Stupid humans as if I'd help you. Shit what? Was that me?
Luthae woke up with a start and sat up in bed.
"Lenne?!" she shouted, "Lenne!"
"Who's Lenne?"
Tidus stood in the doorway to her bedroom.
"Oh did I say that out loud? It doesn't matter."
"Come on something's the matter I can tell. You can tell me anything." Tidus said sitting down beside her embracing her.
"It's just a weird dream. I think I was in the Chamber of the Fayth. I think I've never actually been in you see."
"Oh well it's not that exciting. There's just a glass thing on the floor with a statue in it decorations on the walls and The Fayth come out when summoners pray or talk to them or something."
"Oh." Luthae said sounding interested, but was really kind of worried. She knew her dream meant something. It had to. Her dreams were always the same. Memories of Seymour changing. It seemed that the more she got to know Tidus more strange things happened to her. She still loved Tidus but since that dream it kept her on her guard for the rest of the day. She and Tidus just sat together in her room. Tidus could tell she was spooked by something and decided to comfort her by telling her about his life in Zanarkand. The parties, the blitz games and the city that never slept. Luthae opened herself up to Tidus telling about what Seymour did to her father not mentioning names. She said it in a rather monotone voice as if she didn't care, but that didn't matter to any of the at the time.
Luthae really enjoyed Christmas day with her friends. They handed out presents and had a whale of a time playing games. Luthae had received lots of gifts that she felt happier than any other Christmas before. Paine had got her a titanium bracer and had signed her up to the LSC's battle tournament.
"It's coming up soon you wanna be ready." Paine had said
"Yeah and you'll be cheering for the Thunders." Tidus added
"I know. Think any of us will win the battle tournament?" Luthae wondered
"I hope so." Said Rikku, "It'd be cool."
"Yeah and maybe worthwhile." Agreed Luthae.
It was gard for Luthae to get pressies for her friends, for Yuna she got a belt like hers, Rikku beads for her hair, Paine a crimson ring so she could improve in battle and various things like that. Small, but still nice to receive. She hadn't known what to get for Tidus so she'd go him armband that changed colour. Tidus thanked her and said she needn't have bothered. He gave her a drawing. It was of Luthae, surrounded by swirls and colours and pyreflies.
"It's the best picture I've ever drawn," he explained, "You probably don't think-."
"No it's great." Luthae reassured him. She knew Tidus had spent a lot of time and put his heart into it. He seemed to not know how to express his emotions Luthae thought. That was why he'd blurted out he loved her. He hadn't really had a father to discuss those kinds of things with. Like Luthae had never had a mother. Though since he'd been with Luthae, he seemed to control them better.
Two nights after, Luthae had just said goodbye to Tidus at the library. He was going with YRP and the rest of the Thunders to have extra blitz sessions. Luthae went into the library to ammuse herself and look at some books on her job option. Becoming a Maester: The Basics. Luthae flicked through the pages amazed at what things had been put in the latest edition. 'A maester has to have the right air about him.'
What a load of shit Luthae thought. She was also disgruntled at the fact they'd used him and not him/her.
"Yes Seymour?" she asked about fifteen minutes later, not looking up as her brother who had also been using the library came toward her table.
"Luthae I would like to-,"
"Talk to me? Yes I thought as much."
Luthae had been using her newfound ability on her brother quite a bit. At first to her amusment he had been confounded by it, but now he'd started to get annoyed. He still hadn't worked out how she'd done it. He insisted Luthae came with him to 'talk' and had grabbed her by the wrist intending to drag her if need be.
At that moment Tidus came into the library to get a book on blitzball for the coach.
"No Seymour not now. Get off!" Luthae complained.
Tidus saw Luthae was in a sticky situation and decided to use his 'charisma' to get her out of it.
"Oi Puff!" he shouted, many people in the library turned round.
"Yeah blue bimbo I'm talking to you. Let go of her."
Seymour looked surprised at the Tidus had called him names, but the fact that Tidus was chalenging him by telling him to let go of his sister. Not that Tidus knew. Seymour was to years older than Tidus and would be 18 when he went for the maester examination, he was also taller and one of the best at magic at Djose so he could beat Tidus in a fight if he wanted.
"Get off her Seymour." Tidus warned, "She's not property she's a person. You can't make her do things she doesn't want to. Don't bother asking her out either. I don't want my mate going out with a minger like you."
Seymour, who had been looking down at Tidus bored and not listening suddenly, raised his eybrows in puzzlement Luthae heard him thinking
Go out with Luthae!? Why the hell would I go out with Luthae? Although, wait...
He blocked the rest out. He then smiled his evil looking smile, clocking on that Tidus didn't know about the 'family connection' between them. He then glided off chuckling on the outside; wary of the backup Luthae would have if he tried to hurt her publically on the inside. 9 to 1 since Buddy and Shinra had come over from Bikanel desert to watch their friends in the LSC's. Even he Lord Seymour of Guadosalam couldn't take on that many.
"You okay?" Tidus asked when he'd gone, "He didn't hurt you did he?"
"Nah," Luthae replied, "Thanks for standing up to him. Most people wouldn't do that."
"Yeah well Seymour's a coward. He just hides behind his guards and his 'throne' at that dark and dreary Guadosalam."
"It's not dark and dreary!" Luthae blurted out. "Well I mean," she continued nervously, "It wasn't when Lord Jyscal was in charge and it doesn't look that different from when he was."
"I'm sure it isn't, I've heard nothing but good things about Jyscal. Still bet the mood in it has changed though."
What Tidus said was true. Although Guadosalam didn't look any different the good happy feeling her father had put into it seemed to have gone in it. That dis-heartened Luthae more but people still loved Lord Jyscal, which made her feel better.
"Well," Tidus suddenly said, "Better find that book. I'd stay in your room until we come and call for you. Then Seymour won't be able to get you unawares."
He kissed Luthae on the cheek, cheaking of course in case anyone was looking. This relationship although good Luthae thought made her feel a bit guilty with all the secrecy from Yuna. She knew it was in Yuna's best interest, but she couldn't help feeling it was somehow wrong. Tidus then dissapeared amongst the bookshelves.
Luthae then did as Tidus had instructed and went to her room. She had a daydream when she got there and Lenne filled her head with memories of her and Shuyin. That gave Luthae and idea. She got out a notebook and procceded to write for a whole hour.
After blitz YRP, Tidus and the rest came to call for Luthae. They all decided to go to the beach where operation Mi'hen had taken place for a change from The Moonflow. It seemed to piane Yuna to remember all the Crusaders, Al Bhed and Chocobo Knights that had died on that day. Luthae knew what she was thinking by the look on her face.
"Look forget it. You've ended those days remember. They'll be no more destruction." But maybe from Seymour if he gets his way.
They all swam in the sea, sunbathed even though it was winter it was still sunny that day, and had a good time
"Hey almost a month to the LSC's," Paine reminded Luthae, "You ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
"You've got good tactics. Using speed and things to outwit the enemy. Use those and you should be okay."
Should be. Okay. Seems to be a kind way of saying I'm terrible, nah, I suppose it's just Paine's way of saying you'll do dead well.
"Well I'm kinda nervous."
"Why?" Rikku asked
"Well you know, I don't think my brother will be to pleased."
"Hey who cares? Like you said to Yunie everyone's entitled to their own opinion."
"Yeah well it's different with mine, bet your bro doesn't shout at you for having friends-."
"Hey Riks," said Paine seeing Luthae was digging herself a deeper and deeper hole that she wasn't going to get herself out of if she continued, "Shall we rally up a team for blitz?" Even though it was a holiday, there was still time for blitz and Luthae was finding it quite pleasurable now. Well she was getting better. Rikku consented and went to get the others.
"Thanks," Luthae said, "Do you think at this rate I'll ever be able to tell them about?"
"Probably not, but you'd better tell them sooner rather than later." Paine said, "Hey on a brighter note I've just remembered. They're looking for people to open the LSC's with little talents you know, to show things you can do that aren't in the LSC's events this year. If they think they're good enough they'll add the talent in your case singing to the agenda next year."
"How do you know I sing?"
"We heard you when we came to call for you."
"Oh. Well I suppose it's a good idea, yeah I will go for it."
It was early Febuary and the stadium at Luca was packed from Y7- sixth-form from the guys at Djose to the snobs at Macalania. Ready to watch or take part in the forthcoming events. Tidus, Baralai, Gippal, Yuna, Brother, Buddy, Rikku, Paine and Shinra were sitting waiting for the final opening act to start so they could cheer on their friend.
Luthae was nervous. She didn't know what people would think of her song. Sammi was also backstage with his boss Tobli and the other musicians ready to play Luthae's song. They'd been practicing for weeks but Luthae was still going over the song in her head. Luthae's stomach churned as the announcer called her.
"And now the final act of the opening ceremony."
This is it. Luthae thought as she took her position onstage,
"Before I start," she announced down her microphone, "I'd just like to say this is a song about love. Particularly from a girl to a boy who tried to save her life in a machina battle between Zanarkand and Bevelle, but it can be for any romantic couples out there. And if you're wondering, well let's just say neither of them survived while he attempted to save her. Thank you."
The music began
#I see my future there in your eyes,
Together and forever it's you and me.
You see cos I won't be listening to what my friends have got to say,
I know they'll be there all the way.
You promise and I know that you will always care,
Through good times and bad times your always there.
Hold me now don't ever let it go
I'm in love with you, but you already know
I want this love to last and be forever.
If you believe then you can only see
That me loving you just makes my life complete
Hold me tight and say you'll leave me never.
Straight from the heart you changed my life forever more.
I dream of a day in your arms
And watch the sun bring in the day.
You see what I can imagine I'm sure we can achieve
Which means never giving up on these dreams.
You comfort and you got me through times of grey.
I feel you and I need you to say you'll stay.
Hold me now don't ever let it go
I'm in love with you, but you already know
I want this love to last and be forever.
If you believe then you can only see
That me loving you just makes my life complete
Hold me tight and say you'll leave me never.
Straight from the heart you changed my life forever more.
Forever more
Forever more
Changed my life
You promise and I know that you will always care,
Through good times and bad times your always there.
Hold me now don't ever let it go
I'm in love with you, but you already know
I want this love to last and be forever.
If you believe then you can only see
That me loving you just makes my life complete
Hold me tight and say you'll leave me never.
Straight from the heart you changed my life forever.
Straight from the heart you changed my life forever.
The crowd went wild with cheers and shouts and the long lasting whistle of Tidus. A few snobs from Macalania raised there eyebrows, but this was it. It had begun. The LSC's.
