Chapter Fourteen: Boxes of Bleach
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
Morning
light shone through the blinds in Lenne�s hospital room and rose Shuyin who�d
gone straight back their after his sabbatical in Bevelle. His eyes
quickly searched Lenne for some sign that the songstress had awakened, but
there was none. Lenne�s body hadn�t moved and her eyes were still closed
� keeping her in her silent world of dreams.

Sighing,
Shuyin rose from the chair he�d slept in again and stretched the kinks out of
his body. Sleeping in chairs wasn�t exactly the best way to get a full
nights rest but the blitzball star didn�t care. He needed to stay close
to Lenne and his comfort could be damned.

�Morning,
Shu.� Zaon whispered from the door. His blue-haired friend was in the
hallway with Yunalesca, Bruttam, and Skirpa. Shuyin smiled and joined
them.

Bruttam
gave him a hug, �How you doing?�

�I�m
okay.� Shuyin replied.

Yunalesca
put a hand on her hip, �I heard you went to Bevelle last night.� She said, �It
was the talk of the town this morning that you went running out of here like a
wild fiend and boarded the first hover to Bevelle. What did you do that
for?�

�I
thought Allyn was behind this,� replied Shuyin as he motioned toward Lenne�s
room, �She had threatened her and I guess it just made sense at the time, but
she wasn�t. She was horrified when I told her what happened.�

Skirpa
nodded, �She must have come back to Zanarkand right after you talked then.� He
motioned toward a large cardboard box that was sitting on one of the waiting
room chairs, �She saw me this morning and told me to see that you got
this. She said it�s for Lenne.�

Shuyin
cocked an eyebrow and walked slowly over to the box. He was almost afraid
to open something Allyn had bought for Lenne. Maybe it was
poisoned? Shuyin almost laughed at the ludicrous idea. If it was
poison, then Allyn wouldn�t have wanted Shuyin to get it first. Slowly
opening the top, Shuyin gasped at what he saw.

Two
boxes were inside the larger one. One box was clearly marked to contain
crystal vases while the other clearly contained crystal picture frames.
Underneath the boxes was a large bottle of bleach and a note.

Shuyin,

I heard that Lenne had some vases and picture frames stolen.
Since I have a trust fund and no one to spend it on, I decided to replace them
for her. I know what you�re thinking� �Her�s weren�t crystal.�
That�s not an issue, Shu. I looked at the other kinds and they
were�well�ugly. Have you ever known me to buy something ugly? I
didn�t think so.

Anyway, I also enclosed a bottle of bleach. According to the
news, her house was...messed up. Suffice it to say, I assume that it
hasn�t been cleaned yet and bleach will be needed. There is plenty more
where this bottle came from, plus I have three staff members from Bevelle at my
disposal who will help clean. I�d also like to help if that�s okay.
Give me a call if you�re interested.

Also, Shu, thanks so much for believing me. It really means
a lot.

Love forever,
Allyn

------------------

After
discussing it with Yunalesca and Zaon, the trio agreed that Allyn�s help would
be useful so after contacting Reiber Ackmard�s daughter, Allyn and her trio of
helpers were on their way to Lenne�s house. It was around 2 in the
afternoon when they arrived outside the dwelling of the songstress.

�Hey,
Shuyin.� Allyn said as she approached the blitzer, �Yunalesca, Zaon.� She
acknowledged.

Shuyin
smiled slightly, �Hi, Allyn. Thanks for this.�

�It�s
the least I can do.� She replied, �After all that I�ve done to you since I got
back.�

Sharing
a small smile, the quartet helped Allyn�s cleaners unload a truck they had
brought. Laden with bleach, mops, buckets, and other cleaning equipment,
the truck looked like it would tilt over.

Shuyin
stepped in first armed with a bottle of bleach and a scrubber. His eyes
focused on the large bloodstain in the middle of Lenne�s beautiful white carpet
and he chocked back his urge to cry out. His beautiful Lenne wasn�t dead,
just sleeping. She�d awaken soon and she�d want a clean home to go back
to. He�d give her that.

The
first day of cleaning wasn�t as productive as the ones that would follow.
The bloodstain in the middle of her carpet proved difficult as did the stains
that had splashed onto her walls and furniture.

The
group returned to Lenne�s house every day for two weeks to get the job finished
and when they were, the house looked spotless. The stains were gone and a
fresh coat of paint was on her walls. The carpet looked brand new and the
crystal vases and frames were put onto the shelves. Yunalesca went
through Lenne�s picture albums to chose appropriate pictures to place in them
and when all was finished, the group was very satisfied with their work.

Shuyin
looked around Lenne�s home with a mixture of emotions. It had been two
weeks. Two weeks of hard work and long hours in order to give Lenne her
spotless and perfect home back. It had also been two weeks that Lenne
hadn�t moved. She hadn�t woken even though Shuyin had spent every night
with her, telling her how the house was coming.

Would
she ever?

His
reflections were broken with the touch of a hand to his shoulder, �Shuyin, are
you okay?�

�Yeah,
Allyn.� He replied, �I�m fine.�

�She
hasn�t woken up, has she?� asked Allyn, as if reading his mind. She had
always been good at figuring out what he was thinking; sometimes before he did.

�No,
she hasn�t. She will, though. She has to.�

Allyn
sighed, �She�s really lucky to have you.� She whispered, �I remember what it
was like when you loved me. You feel like you�re the only girl in the
world.�

�Allyn��
Shuyin replied, turning to look at her, �Part of me is always going to love
you. You�ll always be special to me.�

Allyn
grinned, �Well that�s good to know.�

Shuyin
laughed and patted her on the head, �Don�t go getting any ideas.� He warned
before saying, �I�m going to get to the hospital and see her. Talk to you
later.�

------------------------

The
hospital was just as disgusting as Shuyin remembered. It was the same
pale white color and had the same stench of death. Yunalesca and Zaon had
decided to come to the hospital later, opting instead to go home and
change. Shuyin didn�t care what he looked like. He just needed to
see Lenne and tell her that her house was finished.

He
slowly walked into her room and first noted that her color had improved.
She seemed to be doing better and his heart skipped a beat as he approached
her. She didn�t move and he frowned. He had hoped that she was awake.

The
clouds outside caught his attention and he approached the window for a closer
look. He pushed the curtain away and stared out. Storm clouds were
rolling in and the first drops of ran began. From a distance he heard
what sounded like thunder coming from the base of Gagazet.

�Shuyin.�

Startled,
he released the curtain and turned quickly at the sound of Lenne�s voice.
She had slowly pushed herself upward and pulled the tubes from her nose while resting
her head against the bar that acted as a headboard. She gingerly
inspected her face and body before allowing her hands to fall listlessly at her
sides. �I�m still alive�� she whispered.

Shuyin
thought his mouth would break when the smile formed. It was wider than he
thought possible and he was beside her in a flash, �I thought you were still
unconscious!�

�I
woke up this afternoon for a few minutes,� she said, �but you weren�t here so I
went back to sleep.�

Shuyin
frowned a little, �I was fixing your house. Damnit, I wanted to be here
when you woke up.�

�I
know.� Lenne replied as she rested her hand on his, �I heard you when you�d
come here. You�re the reason I hung on.�

Shuyin
smiled and leaned over to press his lips to hers. Her kiss was weak and
it was evident that she was still tired, but she was alive and that was all
Shuyin cared about for the moment. He whispered, �I love you.�

Lenne
ran her fingers over his cheek and down his jawline as if memorizing his ever
curve. She opened her mouth to speak when a loud noise that sounded like
a thunderclap came from outside and the door to the room burst open. Zaon
and Yunalesca were standing there, dripping wet from the rain. Shuyin
smiled, �Look who�s awake!� he said, motioning toward Lenne.

Yunalesca
stepped forward, �I�m so happy, Lennie, but we have an emergency on our hands.�

�That�s
right,� Zaon replied, �That isn�t thunder you�re hearing outside.�

�What
is it?� Shuyin asked.

Yunalesca
looked from Shuyin to Lenne and then said, �It�s gunfire. The soldiers
stationed at the base of Gagazet were attacked about 20 minutes ago by Bevelle
soldiers.� She paused, as if for effect, before saying, �We�re at war.�
Author�s Notes: This is the first chapter where
the war is in full swing and death begins. This is also the chapter which
will lead up to the shooting of Shuyin and Lenne.
