Chapter 2: The Bishi Tidus, And The Wrath Of Yuna

So Wakka took me down to the beach. When we were there he introduced me to the team. Then he got a crate of blitzballs out and gave 'em out to everyone, and turned to someone.

"Hey, brudda. You gonna practice too?" He asked.

"Sure" The stranger said.

"Hey, this kid here was poisoned by Sin's toxin. Just like you were 3 weeks ago. You wanna teach 'er to blitz?" Wakka asked him.

"Sure" He answered.

As I stared at this guy I felt like exploding. He was such a bish. At that point he started waving his head in front of my face.

"Hellooooooo...?" He said.

"What? Oh, sorry." I replied.

"I'm Tidus."

"Pretz."

"So how much blitz do you know anyway?" He asked me.

"None at all"

"Ooh, boy. This could take a while."

So Tidus taught me the basics of Blitzball, although I was still confused. Later on Lulu, some other chick, and a giant kittyman came down to the beach.

"Are we ready to leave?" Lulu asked.

"That's up to our summoner" Wakka answered

"W-wait a minute! I don't wanna leave! I don't even know what's going on!" I exclaimed.

"Yes, we're ready." The other chick said.

"Ok. Let's go." Wakka said.

So we went somewhere and me following in my little spazz attack in the process. They were conspiring I tell you! Anyway, we got up there and Wakka started doing the prayer Lulu taught me. Then I got the bright idea to ask something.

"Um, so were are we going anyway, Lulu?" I asked.

"Yuna is about to embark on her pilgrimage." She answered.

"Pilgrimage?" I asked.

At this point I could tell she was getting annoyed. She sighed.

"Her pilgrimage to defeat Sin."

"Huh? Dude, you never told me what that was. You just went on talkin'..."

She just sighed and walked away. Yep, she was pissed.

"Pretz, long time ago, there were a whole lot of cities in Spira. Big cities with machina--machines--to run 'em. People played all day and let the machina do the work. And then, well, take a look. Sin came, and destroyed the machina cities. And Zanarkand along with 'em. Yeah, that was about a thousand years ago, just like you said. If you ask me, Sin's our punishment for letting things get out of hand." Wakka filled me in.

"No it's not! It's this big blobby thing that attacked Zanarkand!" Tidus exclaimed.

"That toxin musta gone to your head, brudda" Wakka said.

"NO! I saw it!"

"Right... I think you need to lie down, ya?"

"NO! AURON WAS THERE TOO!"

"Sir Auron?" Yuna asked.

"Yeah. Were buds." Tidus replied.

"Sir Auron was my father's guardian." Yuna said.

"What's a guardian?" I asked.

Everyone sighed.

"A guardian's someone who protects the summoner on their pilgrimage" Wakka told me.

"Aha"

"Ok. We're ready to leave now."

So we walked down to the docks and the people were crying as they waved goodbye. When Yuna quit waving to the crying people they suddenly got out a huge keg and started partying. I guess I was the only one who saw it...

Well, later on I overheard Wakka and Lulu talking about the bishi Tidus. Aww... they looked so cute together. Then I saw Tidus and Yuna talking together. I sighed. Everyone had someone but me...and the kitty man. But he never talked to anyone. He just sat there and watched Yuna. I think he was a stalker or something. Or maybe he was just retarded. Yeah, that's it "He's retarded" I thought.

At that point everyone had gone inside and I stared out into the nothingness. I wondered, where was I? Will I ever get home? Why was Tidus such and idiot? Then things started coming to mind like why am I here? Well, that's about the point I started to wonder if blitzballs floated or not. I would have tested me theory but I went to bed instead.

The next morning I was really hungry, so I wondered the ship looking for something to eat. I opened a random door, and BAM! Standing there was a GIANT CHICKEN!

"Holy crap! That's a huge chicken!" I jumped back.

"Chicken? This is a Chocobo." The woman in the room said.

"Can I eat it? I'm starving." I asked.

"No... You don't EAT Chocobos..." She answered.

So I left. At that point I wanted anything. What I got was Wakka.

"Hey, Wakka. When do we eat?" I asked.

"We're not. We'll eat once we get to Kilika." He said.

I sulked off to try and sleep the hunger away. Then every one started screaming. I saw this huge fin appear out of the water! Then the fin that apparently belonged to this "Sin" thing started to swim toward the land. The entire city was engulfed in water. Everything was being sucked into Sin; houses, humans, everything. In the sky, a whirlwind of corpses and debris was formed, above Sin, who was floating on the surface. After it was all over, that's when I saw it. My eyes widened in shock. There was a Blitzball; and it was floating.

"HA! THEY DO FLOAT!!!" I screamed.

Everyone stared. I don't blame them. When we got to shore, or what was left of it, Yuna said something about a "Sending". Hey, maybe I could mail my friends I thought. Although I highly doubted it. So I went up to Lulu while Yuna was talking to some people

"Lulu, what's a "Sending? Are we going somewhere?" I asked.

She laughed.

"A Sending is when a summoner sends the souls of the dead to the Farplane, where they can rest in peace." She answered.

"You mean like Heaven; the place I will never reach?"

"What? Just listen. The dead need guidance. Filled with grief over their own death, they refuse to face their fate. They yearn to live on, and resent those still alive. You see, they envy the living. And in time, that envy turns to anger, even hate. Should these souls remain in Spira, they become fiends that prey on the living."

"You mean like 'Making Fiends'?" I asked.

"What..."

"I dunno." I really had no idea what I was talking about.

Yuna walked out onto the water. She began moving around with her stick thingy. The people on the shore were crying. I didn't see why. If their family members stayed with them, they would turn into fiends and kill them. Stupid Kilikans. Hey, that's got a nice ring to it. Small globes of energy began to rise out of the water, gathering upwards. Right next to my head, an orange flame turned blue. And you don't see that everyday, no. There's an orange here, 'n an orange gone. Orange no orange. Just chills ya to the bones. The water Yuna was standing on rose into the air, bringing her up with it, as she continued the motions, while the strands of energy began to fly up as well. Anyway, I was horrified. The complicatedness of it confused my tiny blonde brain. I never wanted to see it again. If people kept dying then Yuna would keep dancing.

The next day the Blitzball team started to help rebuild stuff. It was still beyond me why they came. Wakka said something about praying for victory, but I had no idea what he meant. So we walked through this forest, battling random fiends. Around this point I was beginning to feel rather useless, being without a weapon and all. Then we got to these stairs, and about half way up Tidus had to go to the bathroom, so we all waited for him. Then Wakka started Yammering on about how Lord Ohalland trained on these steps at his peak. How you train on steps was beyond me. Although, a lot of things seemed to be beyond me lately. I'd learned not to care. The Aurochs started stretching and someone made a somewhat evil laugh.

"A race, huh? Think you can beat me?" Tidus asked.

We all lined up in a row.

"Yuna, if you would." Wakka asked.

"Ready?" She raised her hand in the air.

Then Yuna laughed and ran up the steps.

"Hey! Hey!" Wakka called.

We all ran after her, except me who tripped halfway up and had to be carried the rest of the way by Kimahri. Ah, heck. Kimahri doesn't talk much, but he's sweet. By the time we got to the top I had regained my walking ability, with a limp. Wakka and company came running and screaming like babies.

"AH! SINSPAWN!"

What the Hell, I thought, was a "Sinspawn"? I figured I'd look instead of being stupid and asking Lulu. Well they fought it and beat it. Once we continued up the steps, Wakka started making ideas about what Sin does.

"I been thinking. Maybe people Sin gets to don't die. Maybe Sin carries 'em through time. Like a thousand years through time. And then, one day, maybe they just pop back, see?"

"Wakka, I've only been here a few days and even I think that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." I said.

"Amazing. Simply amazing. You make up one theory after another, refusing to face the simple truth. Sin didn't take Chappu anywhere. Sin crushed him, and left him on the Djose shore. Your brother won't just pop back. Oh, and one more thing. No matter how much you want it, no one can take Chappu's place. No one can replace Sir Jecht, for that matter. And there's no replacement for Lord Braska, either. It's pointless to think about it, and sad." Lulu said to Wakka.

She continued up the stairs. She looked pissed and sad at the same time. I didn't think it'd be smart to ask, lest I get fire casted on my ass. We finally got to the temple and Wakka looked pissed that the "Luca Goers" were there. Must be a blitz thing.

"Grr. The Luca Goers. Why can't they just 'go' away, ya?"

No one laughed. The Goers walked over to us. Wakka was talking through his teeth with this psycho look on his face. He really hated them.

"You here to pray for victory, too?" Wakka asked.

"Us? Pray? Who needs to pray? The Luca Goers always win!" The captain said.

"Oh, yeah? Then why are you here?" Wakka demanded.

"We've been praying for some competition this year! So what's your goal this time? You gonna 'do your best' again? Ha! It's too bad your best isn't good enough! Why even bother showing up?" The captain said.

"This time, we play to win!" Tidus replied.

"Ooh! Play away! Just remember even kids can play, boys." He said while walking away.

We all went inside the temple and Wakka started praying. I didn't think I'd join him to save my poor knees and shins.

"A summoner, are you?"

A really slutty lady and some dude came over to us and started talking to Yuna.

"My name is Yuna--from the Isle of Besaid." Yuna told them.

"Dona."

"So, you're High Summoner Braska's daughter. That's quite a name to live up to. My, my, my... And all these people are your guardians? My, what a rabble! As I recall, Lord Braska had only two guardians. Quality over quantity, my dear. Whatever were you thinking? I have need of only one guardian. Right, Barthello?"

Barthello nodded. Kimahri stepped forward and faced him

"I only have as many guardians as there are people I can trust. I trust them all with my life! To have so many guardians is a joy, and an honor! Even more so than being my father's daughter. Of course, I would never think of questioning your ways, either. So, Lady Dona, I ask of you: please leave us in peace." Yuna replied.

"You do what you want. Barthello, we're leaving."

They went off to be retarded elsewhere. We all went through the door to the Cloister.

"The fayth is below. Let's do it!" Wakka said.

"The 'fayth'?" I asked.

"But first, the Cloister of Trials. Kimahri? Wakka? Ready?" Lulu asked.

Wakka and Kimahri nodded.

"Strength, everyone." Yuna said.

Everyone stepped onto the platform that led them down. Kimahri pushed Tidus and I off.

"Hey, what gives?" Tidus asked.

"You two aren't guardians yet." Lulu told him.

"We'll be back as soon as we can, okay?" Yuna told us.

The platform descended, leaving Tidus and I there. Then the slutty chick appeared again.

"I think the two blondes make a cute couple. Don't you Barthello?" She said.

He nodded.

"Hey! That's not funny!" I yelled.

"Yeah! I don't like HER!" Tidus told the retards.

"What's that supposed to mean, Tidus?" I asked him.

"It means I don't like you like THAT." He answered.

"Ok."

The slutty chick and the dude left. I hopped up on a ledge thing that his higher than Tidus because he felt like bandaging my leg. We spoke of many things like ships, and shoes, and ceiling wax, and cabbages, and kings. Then the slutty chick came back and somehow blasted the ledge thing I was sitting on, then ran away. As you can imagine I fell right on top of Tidus. Well, at that moment, just my luck, the platform came up with everyone on it. Wakka and Lulu just stared, wide-eyed. Yuna wasn't too happy though.

"W-what are you doing!?" She yelled at Tidus.

"N-nothing." He was actually telling the truth.

Yuna looked very hurt, so I figured I'd defend him.

"Seriously, Yuna. He was bandaging my leg." I said.

I don't think she believed me. We spent the rest of the day in Kilika repairing stuff. Tidus and I kept sneaking off to try and find something to eat, although Yuna believed otherwise. At one point she threatened to tie me to the dock and him to the boat. So thus ended our food crusade. She musta had PMS or something, but she got over it pretty fast. We got on the boat and headed toward Luca.

-------------- AHA! FINALLY! Sorry about the wait. Home problems. I finally got around to typing this on a trip to florida with me friends. I swear if I have to eat at Hooters again I'm gonna kill all the boys with us; wich is 90% of us. A manatee didn't eat Travis unfartunatly. *cries* I don't think I'll ever beat FFX. Jecht is my new shoulder devil, and Yuna is still my shoulder angel, for those who know what in Spira I'm talking about. Oh, well.... I beat Seymour I can Kick Jecht's ass too.....Happy Blorthog. Cya.
