Disclaimer: Hidey-ho! Okay next chapter…let's try and guess shall we? I do not own FFX. I will continue to state it well because I have to. So there.

Chapter 4

The sun began to slowly rise over the mountains the next day, letting small rays pour into Lulu's room. Her eyelids fluttered wildly for a minute as she began to think. What happened last night? Did Sir Auron really save me? Or was it all a dream? Lulu thought as she looked up into the cracked ceiling of Rin's Travel Agency. Sitting up slowly she looked to her left to see Auron sitting in the same chair, seeing no signs that he had ever gotten up. Lulu looked around the room for Wakka, but realized that she had kicked him out the previous night. Standing up she put her hand to her temple and tried to awaken herself what seemed to be like a daze. After shaking her head slightly she walked over to the door, to head to the washroom.

Upon opening the door, Wakka was propped up against the keyhole looking in. His snores echoed throughout the hallways as Lulu looked on at him, disgustedly. Such a boorish pig, why did I ever think that he could replace Chappu? Lulu pulled open the door fully as Wakka fell face first onto the carpet of the room. Lulu promptly pulled her dress from around her ankles as she walked over him. Wakka mumbled incoherently as he fell to the floor. Auron looked at him, his eyes rolling behind his head.

"You say that you've been a guardian two other times?" said Auron as he stood up. He grabbed his jug from around his waist and took a quick swig at it. His attention was suddenly brought to life as he tossed it to Wakka. Wakka lifted his face just in time as the drink came flying towards him. He lifted a hand as he grabbed the jar.

"You're gonna let me have some, ya?" he asked Auron.

"No. I gave it to you so you can look pretty," Auron said in his usual monotone voice.

Meanwhile, in the washroom, Lulu was busy splashing her face with water thinking over the events. Her thoughts were disturbed as Yuna walked through the door.

"Good Morning, Lady Yuna," Lulu said as she looked away from the wooden bucket to Yuna. Yuna bowed deeply as she walked in to face Lulu.

"How did you sleep?" she asked, trying to see if Lulu was in a good mood.

The thoughts in the back of Lulu's mind kept bugging her to tell Yuna, but she couldn't. Yes, Yuna was the summoner, but had no right to intrude on her personal business. Lulu splashed her face again with the water as she looked at her reflection.

"Fine, and you Lady Yuna?" she said her voice remaining in tact.

"Oh, wonderful!" Yuna said, "I love the beds here! They make me feel like I'm back in Besaid and I have nothing to worry about." Yuna handed Lulu a similar pail as she brought down her hand and filled the bucket with water. Lulu took out a small tube, no bigger than a Moogle's arm or leg and painted her lips a fresh coat of purple. Yuna looked longingly at the tube.

"Yuna, you are not advertising to other men that you are available," Lulu said as Yuna let out a giggle, "This lipstick is very…special to me."

"I know, that's the one Chappu gave you isn't it? I think it was right after his first match with the Besaid Aurouchs," Yuna said, "I was only 10, I think you were at least 17."

Lulu let out a small sigh as she looked at Yuna. "For someone so young, you certainly remember a lot," she said as she opened the door. Wakka was still half asleep on the floor in the bedroom. Lulu snapped her fingers as she walked outside.

"What was that?" asked Yuna. Lulu just looked at her.

"A reminder," she said as the door shut behind her. Seconds later, a blood curdling scream came from Wakka, as he walked up to Yuna drenched.

"Where is that Lulu?" Wakka said as another shot of water hit his back. He jumped into the air and deflected the rest of the water with his blitzball. He headed outside muttering to himself as he watched Lulu, who was casually leaning on the left side of the door, looking at Auron. She watched as Tidus came outside and let out a big yawn.

"Well were are we off to today?" he asked Lulu, who he had considered to be the official navigator.

"We will head down Mi'hen Highroad a little further until we will reach the Djose Temple," Lulu said. Tidus looked at her.

"At the Djose Temple is another aeon," she said as his gaze was put to rest. Suddenly the ground began to shake, Rin came running out.

"It's the Chocobo Eater!" he screamed, "It's the Chocobo Eater!" Auron pulled his sword down. He took a battle stance as he got ready to fight. Tidus jumped in front of him, and let his sword swipe in front of him a couple of times. Rolling her eyes, Lulu walked next to Auron, but Wakka pushed her out of the way. She fell back clutching her stomach and was about to hit the ground when Khimari caught her. In less than seconds, a gigantic rampaging beast approached them.

"The Chocobo Eater is very fast, he will try to knock you off of this cliff if you don't destroy him," said Rin from the background.

The Chocobo Eater was a monstrous creature. A nasty shade of dark purple was painted on its body with streaks of dark green and blue here and there. Its eyes were large where as its pupils were small and surrounded by a dark green iris. The teeth of the creature did not appear to be so bad, they were not as sharp as Lulu has expected. The thing that scared the group the most was the gigantic arms and hands that grew from its side. Tidus and Auron exchanged glances as the Chocobo Eater drew closer. Screams from women and children could be heard from inside the travel agency.

Tidus looked to Wakka and yelled to him, "You attack the middle; me and Auron will get the arms!" Wakka shook his head in understanding as he hurled his blitzball straight at the monster's face. Tidus ran up to its left arm and gave it a clean strike, leaving a large gash in its arm. The creature gave a horrible screech as it looked at the wound. Taking its large arm back, it smacked Tidus, sending him flying against a rock. Khimari ran in and took Tidus' position as Auron attacked the left arm. The Chocobo Eater moved out of the way as the blade came towards him. Khimari lifted his arm above his head as he gave a great bound and crushed the Chocobo Eater's head in. ((Qualifies for darkness, blind, whatever))

The Chocobo Eater began to flail wildly about, almost in the same manner as a chicken with its head cut off. It sent the group flying to the edge of the cliff.

"If we don't finish this now, we'll be doomed!" cried Wakka from the far edge of the cliff. Lulu walked up as she took her Cacutar Scope in her hands and brought down a final stroke of thunder to finally kill it. The Chocobo Eater began to bleed purple blood from its mouth and finally died. Tiny spirits ascended from the disappearing body. Lulu shook her head as she held out her hand to help Yuna up. She looked over Yuna's shoulder to see Tidus helping Wakka up. As she was about to go up to Wakka, Rin approached the group.

"I thank you most gratefully, you have saved us all, and as a token of my gratitude you can all receive a free chocobo ride," Rin said as he bowed deeply. Four chocobos were brought forth. Yuna looked a little confused.

"Shouldn't there be six chocobos?" she asked Rin, a confused look on her face. Rin bowed once again to Yuna.

"I am sorry my lady summoner. These are all the chocobos that are left. The others are at opposite ends of the highroad," Rin said still low to the ground. Khimari walked forward.

"Khimari walk," he said as he began towards the highroad. Auron climbed a top the nearest chocobo. Lulu followed him as if she were in a trance. His charm, no that couldn't be it, what was it that attracted her to him? Wakka was fuming from behind as he watched. What was she doing? Didn't she know that people could see her?

In all reality, no one was watching. Yuna had already set off with Tidus following close behind. Khimari was running in the front and had already left. When Wakka realized Yuna was up ahead he grabbed the last chocobo and chased after her.

Auron watched as Lulu climbed a top the chocobo. She seemed to ascend in such a womanly and beautiful order that Auron had never seen. Her long black braids fell to the side of her chest as she perched herself comfortably on the chocobo. Grabbing the reins, Auron went off with a "Hyah!"

"Sir Auron, should we not catch up with the group?" asked Lulu, watching as they entered the second part of the highroad.

"She has three other guardians with her, I think she can handle herself," Auron said. His voice was so rugged, so amazingly down to earth, it made Lulu melt on the inside. She sighed softly as they road along. "Are you okay?" Auron said as he looked back to see Lulu's usual cold glare replaced with softer eyes.

Blinking, she shook her head. Her crimson eyes once again became stony and did not show any signs of passion. Her head was turned at attention to face the road. Looking down for a moment, Auron caught a small glimpse of the edge of Lulu's lace stockings. He felt slightly aroused as he looked at her. His eyes began to trail up her body taking in all its features.

Higher up on the Highroad, Tidus and the others had been ambushed by a two water flans. Wakka was trying to hit it, but each attempt failed. Lulu jumped off of the chocobo smoothly, not a hair out of place. She let her Cacutar Scope jump next to her as a large flash of lightening came down. One water flan shriveled up and two spirits ascended. Taking her hands above herself one more time, she sent another strong lightening bolt down at the remaining water flan. Auron stood ready to strike it, but knew that weapons were almost useless against magic-casting fiends. As he stood up, Yuna looked down the path. Three guards were standing near a gate with crates and cages near the guards. Yuna jumped atop the chocobo, riding along with Tidus.

Lulu stood up as she tried to regain her composure. Using Thundera took a lot out of her, especially after taking on the Chocobo Eater. Auron took an Elixir from out of his pack and tossed it to Lulu. After taking a few sips she tossed the bottle away, and walked towards the chocobo. She looked at Auron, as he was standing there.

"Are you coming Sir Auron?" she asked him. He looked at her and grunted an almost inaudible response. He shook his head as Lulu grabbed the reins to catch up on ahead. Her braids flew wildly behind her, although her dress hardly moved. Auron took a quick swig from his jug as he walked up ahead, watching Lulu.

Another day, another chapter. Yep finished this too, hope ya'll like it, LoL.
