Previously:

"Sorry? You'll have to say that again I didn't quite catch that," the woman replied; a trace of a smirk on her lips.

"Rikku," she said more firmly. "My name is Rikku."

Chapter 2 – I Will

"Lulu! Hey Lulu," Called a tall Jamaican man Rikku assumed to be Wakka, one of Yuna's guardians. Tidus had told Rikku about Wakka almost immediately after she was discovered, washed up on the North Warf of the Moonflow. Tidus had instructed her not to tell Wakka of her Al-Bhed heritage, as he was less than fond of them, due to their use of the sacrilegious machina. Rikku listened intently to what Wakka was saying to the woman, who was apparently named Lulu.

"Tidus just told me he'd found someone else he knew, washed up by the river. Apparently she wants to become one of Yuna's guardian's!"

"Who is it?" The woman's voice was mesmerising, and Rikku felt her cheeks flush red just at the sound.

"I dunno… Just some girl he met before he said…" At Wakka's response, Lulu turned round to look straight at Rikku. Rikku froze in shock, and found herself unable to look away from Lulu's icy stare.

"Rikku. Are you the girl Wakka is talking about?" Rikku could only nod as a reply, still not daring to look away; too scared to even blink. Wakka looked at her for a moment before saying,

"Yah she'll do. She's gotta learn to fight though. Gotta pull your weight around here." Rikku saluted half jokingly, half serious as she replied,

"Yes Sir."

She decided that now was the time to turn away from the curious stares of the man. She didn't want the man to see her eyes. Then he would know that she was an Al-Bhed.

Rikku was relieved to see Tidus walking up to her, a smile from head to feet.

"Met the family have you?" He asked jokingly. "This is Wakka, Lulu and that's Auron and Kimahri over there," he explained. "Yuna should be joining us after her rest." Rikku nervously waved over at Auron and Kimahri, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone. Tidus patted her on the back, signalling that they needed to move on. As they walked up to the Inn where they had rested the previous night; the door opened and Rikku saw the summoner for the first time.

"Lady Yuna!" Rikku rushed to the summoner and bowed her head. "I would very much like to be one of your guardians please!" Yuna looked up at the others, slightly startled.

"Umm… What is your name?" Yuna asked. Rikku opened her mouth to reply but Lulu interjected,

"Her name is Rikku. Tidus found her washed up just over there at the bank of the Moonflow. She is intent on becoming a guardian." Rikku could only stand there as Yuna considered her for a moment. The summoner then looked at Riku with a kind smile.

"I'd love for you to join us," she said brightly, making Riku blush slightly as she smiled and thanked her.

"Well that's settled then," Lulu remarked. "Now we must continue our journey onwards to Guadosalam.

xXx

It was a long walk to Guadosalam, which gave Rikku a lot of time to think. She often found herself lapsing into a daydream whenever she had nothing else to do. As the sun set, and darkness began to surround them, Rikku subconsciously began to wonder about the only other female guardian, Lulu. She watched her walking and found herself transfixed to her smooth motions and elegant poise. The woman demanded a sort of unearthly presence, and Rikku was certain by their behaviour, that she was highly revered by the other guardians. Suddenly Lulu stopped in her tracks and turned around. It was only after a moment or two that Rikku realised that she was still staring at the woman.

"I don't appreciate being watched." Rikku's face flushed a fiery red at Lulu's words, and she turned away, trying to hold back the rush of embarrassment that appeared to be taking over her whole body.

Lulu resumed her walking, and Rikku waited until she was a suitable distance ahead before following her. She tried to avoid staring anymore at the guardian; but then something on the ground caught her eye.

A bright orange flower was swaying side to side in the breeze. Or at least that was what Rikku thought. She approached the flower, but was too late to realise: There was no breeze. That flower was moving by itself.

"Ow," Rikku jumped backwards as the flower fired a barrage of flames straight at her. The other guardians turned around at the sound and rushed towards the commotion. Lulu pushed Rikku out of harms way before casting her Fira spell, which completely obliterated the mysterious new enemy. "What… What was that?" asked Rikku, still in shock from the attack.

"It was a Funguar," Lulu replied. "You would do well to avoid them." Rikku felt that familiar surge of embarrassment and turned away as she muttered an embarrassed,

"Thank You."

Lulu simply nodded before turning around and resuming her walk towards Guadosalam, Rikku trailing behind, wishing the ground would swallow her up.

It wasn't long before the group arrived at the Guado Village of Guadosalam. Rikku had never trusted the Guados, but as an Al-Bhed, she was used to not being trusted herself, so tried to remain friendly with the creatures regardless. As the others trundled into the Inn, one of Yuna's more powerful and esteemed guardians, Sir Auron, held Rikku's arm back.

"Wait," he instructed. "I need to speak with you for a moment." Rikku nervously followed the mysterious man, fearing what he might say to her. "I know you're an Al-Bhed," he announced. Rikku's eyes widened as terrifying questions spun around in her head. Would she have to leave the group? She had no-where else to go… Would she die out here?

"Don't look so alarmed." Auron's words brought Rikku back to reality. "I have no intention of telling Wakka or any of the others, as long as you swear to protect Lady Yuna at all costs, and never to betray us." Rikku only took a moment to process the terms before looking Sir Auron in the eyes and replying,

"I will."
