(Okay, second chapter. You know how it goes, I am not cool enough to own anything from the giant square enix place though I wish I was. Mr. Shin though, he is mine. And sometimes, I think that he should have the body of Ryan Reynolds or that Sergio guy... tee hee hee. Way to many pictures... um. Don't mind me. Just read.)

"What do you mean the day that I washed ashore?" Shin was now staring at Yuna. "They," he practically yelled, now pointing at Wakka and Lulu, "told me that they knew my parents. That my parents were there friends, and that they took me in after they died to fight against Sin!"

Yuna sighed, looking up to Lulu and Wakka. "I think that you should tell him the whole truth. The truth that we know at least."

Lulu nodded and sat back down. She sighed slightly, almost as if she was bracing herself. "Beating Sin, truly beating Sin was something that we never thought was capable. We knew that it there would only be a Calm, but even though, we still tried. In our hearts, we hoped that this would be the last time that any summoner would have to make the pilgrimage, but in our minds, we knew that it wouldn't." Lulu took a quick breath and continued. "The thing with the Calm, as you know, is that a summoner and one of his or her guardians would have to be sacrificed for the final summon, which was the only way to stop Sin. We all knew w----"

"What had to be done! I know this story!" Shin had now made fists, and they were at his side, his nails about to pierce into his soft tan skin. "How the hell does this relate to me! To the two of you lying to me! Well!"

"Shin! Don't ya talk 'bout your mother that way," Wakka spoke up, now looking down at his silver haired son.

Shin sighed, hands relaxing as he steadied his breath. "Sorry," he mumbled out, head lowered now.

Lulu looked at her son before sighing again, this time closing her eyes. "We didn't use the final summoning, but we were able to defeat Sin. Not without the loss of someone though," she spoke, nodding to Tidus. "But that was only what we though. As we know, Sin is back. But at the time, we were just all so happy that Sin seemed to finally be gone, all the pyreflies that had been in him freed, and able to be free.

"Later that night, after he had landed and finally made it back to Besaid, Wakka, myself, and Yuna had all gone to the shore, to the place where your father had first met Tidus." Lulu opened her dark eyes and looked to Shin, his head still lowered. "That was when I heard you crying, lying on what looked like a piece of drift wood, the phrase Drec Es written on your forehead with some odd bright liquid. But, when I picked up and went to touch it, it simple disappeared."

It was silent for a few minutes after before Shin spoke. "Why did you not tell me this in the beginning?"

"We didn't think that it mattered Shin," Wakka spoke.

"So then why did you lie?" he asked, his hair parting slightly so he could see his father with one of his vibrant blue eyes.

Wakka looked as if he was about to speak, but nothing came to him, shutting his mouth and looking down.

But when no one answered, Shin shook his head, standing up and walking quickly out of the dwelling, Vindina soon following his brother.

Yuna sighed as Lulu put a hand to her head, closing her eyes and shaking her head. "Lulu," Yuna began. "I am sorry that my coming here brought this on, that I disrupted your family."

"Nah," Wakka mumbled, patting Yuna's head. "Vindina always finds a way to bring Shin down and make things better. It should all be fine."

"Lulu, Wakka," Tidus began. "True, we do not know where Shin came from, but the fact is that he is the only one that can even set a foot into the temples even. None of the experienced priests or old summoners can do it."

Lulu nodded, removing her hand from her head. "I know. When I had heard about what had happened to him, it was very...puzzling. You remember the bright light that came out of the temple when he come gone into it, the light that I told you."

Yuna nodded. "Yes, I do. Why?"

"Well, that light, it was reported that in the Zanarkand ruins, a line of bright white light was seen as well, coming from the sky to the ground. But when Shin passed out, the light stopped, here and there." Lulu pushed herself off the ground and glided to the door, watching Vindina run after Shin. "All the priests want him to go into each temple to try to let the new summoners to go in to get the aeons. But I don't want him to. I don't even think that the aeons are truly there anymore. Even though what you said about what happened with you, Paine, and Rikku, even though the aeons went back, something inside tells me that they aren't there anymore."

Yuna looked at one of her oldest friends. She clutched the necklace around her neck and shook her head. "No, they are there. They are different, but I can feel it. And I know that you don't want to, but you can't protect him forever Lulu. Maybe, maybe just to try. Maybe he should go there tomorrow."

Lulu closed her eyes, taking a few breaths before opening them again. "And what if he can go inside? What then?"

"Then maybe he is our last hope."

Wakka and Lulu both looked at Tidus, Wakka snickering and grabbing Tidus around the neck, messing his hair. "Well aren't you the deep and wise one now."
