Disc.: As always, and as everyone, I cannot claim to own these people. I can only take them, torture them, and make them do my bidding. That will suffice...for now.

A/n: Just a drabble I wrote along time ago. My favorite aspect of FFX-2 aside from Gippal's group, Paine and Leblanc was defiantly the story between Shuyin and Lenne.


Once More

We've got to escape.

I'm trying. I'm running as fast as I can, yet I'm afraid it's not fast enough.
I'm glad I could at least stop you Shuyin. I had to, it was my job.
I couldn't let you destroy the entire world.

You did come for me though, didn't you?
I already knew I was going to die. I was scared, so very scared, but I accepted my fate.
But now we're trying to escape death, aren't we? We're trying with all of our might...

We can't give in. Not yet. Even though the footsteps grow closer. If we don't escape from this place we'll die...and I won't let you die Shuyin, not yet.

Vegnagun...that monster. Is it it's fault that we've reached this point? Or is it our own? What do we have to really blame here?

I rush into your arms, into your warmth. Lights? We've been seen.
I can hear them Shuyin. Can you? They are coming.
There they are. Numbers on their arms, guns in their hands. Bevelle's warriors.
Shuyin...don't look at me with those sad eyes. You didn't fail me.
You came for me. You came for me...

It hurts so much, and my last thoughts are of you.
