Chapter 2

Wakka rubbed the back of his head in confusion, but said, "What do you mean you don't remember? Did you hit your head or something?"

Squall didn't answer. He sighed and leaned back in his seat. He gazed up out at the stars through the open cooking port over the roof.

After sometime in silence, Lulu poked the fire and said, "You know you remind me a lot of Auron. He was always keeping what he thought to himself. It was really hard to know what he wanted or what he would do next."

Yuna shouted, "Lulu! Squall, I'm sorry, we just want to help you. What do you remember?"

"I don't know."

"Well, from what you did on the beach, I guess you're a summoner. I used to be a summoner too."

Wakka shook his head disapprovingly, "No, that don't add up. The man can summon, but also wields a blade? I never heard of no summoner that can use a weapon and cast spells. Where'd he learn all that?"

"Garden…"

"Garden? What's that?"

"I can't remember, but I think I was at a place called Garden. The seeds of garden."

Lulu idly picked up one of her voodoo dolls and said, "Garden…I never heard of a place called that, but it's a start."

"Hum. Sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me. Look at this guy. He's got on a uniform and fancy gear. He's got to come from somewhere and it ain't no greenhouse."

Then, suddenly there was a strange rumble. All around they heard the screams of the villages calling out into the night. Quickly, they ran out of the house to see what was happening and it was then that they saw Sin emerge from the sea. Sin sprang out form the watery depths like a whale and roared out as it silhouetted the rising moon.

Yuna and her friends took in the monstrous aeon in the night sky. The appearance of Sin terrified Yuna to her core and she began to shake.

Yuna breathless said, "It's Sin…" and then fainted. Luckily she was standing near Squall and he gathered her close to support her or else she'd fall. Lulu and Wakka helped Squall support her and took her back inside the house.

Lulu turned to Wakka and said, "Let's have her rest."

"But what about Sin? We can't just let that monster go around killing people all over Spira again. We got to stop it."

Squall gave the creature one last look before entering the house and said, "We shouldn't rush into anything without learning all we can about the enemy. We need to be prepared."

Wakka gave Squall an angry glare, "And who died and made you king?"

Lulu said, "That's enough Wakka. We can't do anything while Yuna unconscious. I suggest we get some sleep and take on this problem in the morning. Squall's right, we have to be prepared. We don't have aeons to help us like we did before."

Wakka: "Yeah, I guess you're right. We ought to get the team back together, but I'm tell you, I ain't going to get much sleep."

Unknown to everyone, Sin began to stir. It opened it large mouth and suddenly spit out something weird into the sea. The object was propelled into the air and landed with a splash and slowly began to sink, but then it moved. The object started to swim and it broke the surface of the water with a gasp—it was Titus.

He quickly began to move through the water till he finally hauled himself on a sandy shore. He crawled up the coast till his body was properly beached and laid himself down to rest. Exhausted, he panted, "I'm home."

Yuna thrashed around on her bed in a nightmare. She tossed her head back and forth and mumbled, "Titus…Titus…" over and over again in her restless sleep. Her whimpering woke Squall and he walked into her room and gentle placed his hand over her shoulder and tried to shake her wake from her dream. However, when his hand touched her shoulder she sprang up right in her bed and shouted, "No!"

"It's alright, Yuna. You were just having a bad dream."

"Oh, Squall. I'm so sorry I woke you."

"It's alright. Do you want to talk about it? I heard it helps if you talk about a bad dream."

"Uh, no, I'm ok. Thank you."

"Alright, I'll go and let you rest."

Suddenly, Yuna grabbed onto his arm, but kept her eyes down cast. She quietly said, "No, please stay."

Squall reluctantly submitted to Yuna's plea and quietly sat down on a chair next to her bed. He sat uncomfortably straight and crossed his arms over his chest and slowly closed his eyes, but the former summoner wondered if he really was asleep and leaned over to pear at his handsomely scared face in the twilight.

While keeping his eyes closed, the scared man whispered, "…Yuna, go to sleep."

Yuna jumped away and sank down into her covers and pressed her hand over her mouth in embarrassment. She wondered why she was behaving like a scared little girl, but for some reason she felt really safe when Squall was near. There was something about him that made him seem like a natural leader, something grown up, and something that made her know she could relay on him. In a way, he remembered her of Kimari because he was quiet and steady, but she knew he was different. He didn't openly say what was in his heart like her old friend. He was guarded. He seemed afraid to say what was on his mind, but she sensed he had a good heart. She knew because she saw it in the aeon. There was something noble about it, something she just couldn't describe.

I'm not really sure if I want to keep thing story going because I made it up a really long time ago and I can't really remember the plot. I do remember why I wrote it and that's because crossover FF stories are few and sort of flop. Plus, I wanted to write in game play moves because come on! as a gamer you play hours and hours solely on building up your game that you have to write a fanfic with some actual moves in it to make it feel authentic.

I might up-date from time to time, but ultimately I leave it up to you, my reviewers. Please, review and let me know if it's any good. Thanks.
