"You know, you're all I
can count on to save Lenne.�

Shuyin�s
eyes flew open and he quickly squinted against the morning light that poured
in. He shifted in the small hospital bed that Lenne had suggested he
sleep in with her. It really wasn�t made for two people and was proven
since Shuyin was wedged between his sleeping girlfriend and the bar on the side
of the bed. After Yunalesca and Zaon had told them that they were at war,
Lenne had taken to casting Curaga on herself repeatedly until Shuyin had to pin
her arms down to stop her from over casting.

�You must stop! That�s enough!�

Shuyin shook his head hard as he
sat up. He had been having some odd dreams that night, none of which he
could remember. All he knew was that something was going to happen.
He didn�t like it. Lenne�s eyes opened as Shuyin climbed out of the bed
and she smiled, �Just where do you think you�re going, mister?�

Shuyin spun on his heels and
smiled at her, �I needed to stretch. That bed isn�t made for two you
know.�

�You could have slept on top of
me,� Lenne said with a wink.

Shuyin laughed, �Me on top of you
is only comfortable for one thing. Sleeping isn�t it��

Lenne laughingly agreed and then
stretched herself. After her recovery and subsequent use of Curaga, the
nurses had taken the IV�s out of her arms and she was healing quite
rapidly. Shuyin had never seen someone cast spells before � not even
Yunalesca � and the entire thing frightened him. It made it all too clear
that Lenne was a summoner and if this war got out of hand, she�d be sent to
fight.

His beautiful Lenne rose to her
feet next to him and cast another Curaga spell on her wounds before accepting
the clothes that Shuyin held for her. He had brought a change for her in
preparation for her awakening and now she greedily grabbed the only clothes
that Shuyin could find � her songstress dress. Lenne dropped her hospital
gown to the floor � not even slightly embarrassed by her lack of clothes � and
pulled the dress over her head while saying, �So I heard that Allyn replaced
the stuff that was stolen.�

�That�s right.�

Lenne straightened her hair and
the dress before locking eyes with him, �Why did she do that? Is it for
the reason I think?�

�I know it�s hard to believe,�
Shuyin replied, �but she was shocked that you were attacked. I don�t
think she had anything to do with it.�

�Morning you two.� Zaon said as he
and Yunalesca joined them in the room.

Lenne smiled at her friends and
then turned to reach for her shoes, �Any news on the war?�

�It�s going strong,� replied
Yunalesca, �The border troops were demolished last night so Daddy sent
reinforcements to try and hold them off. The last thing we need is
Bevelle storming Zanarkand with machina.�

Shuyin cocked an eyebrow in
surprise, �But I thought your father was working on a secret plan. I
figured he was creating a huge machina army.�

Yunalesca groaned and threw her
hands in the air, �That would have been the intelligent thing to do,� she
admitted, �But no. Daddy has been pouring over his summoning books since
the wedding. He thinks that there is a summon that can stop the war.�

Lenne smiled, �That would be nice,
wouldn�t it?� she said dreamily, �Imagine a summon powerful enough to end a
machina war. It�s too bad it doesn�t exist.�

�Maybe it does.� Shuyin said.

Lenne shook her head and her long
brown hair fell over her shoulders, �Summons can hold machina off for a while,
but they can�t defeat them. Especially not the kind that Bevelle has.� She
sighed, �That�s why I hope Yu has something up his sleeve because otherwise
when the other summoners and I are sent to the front lines it will be for
nothing.�

Shuyin�s eyes flashed, �You�re not
fighting.�

�Yeah, Lenne.� Yunalesca said,
�You don�t have to. The Summoner Army is totally voluntary. Daddy
has already told me that I�m not allowed to fight since he�s got a �greater
purpose� for me so there�s no reason you have to go either. We can both
do this �greater purpose� thing together.�

Lenne shook her head and looked at
all of her friends before finally focusing her eyes on Shuyin, �When I became a
summoner, I knew that one day my job would be to defend my home and the people
in it. This is my destiny and I am determined to fight for my country as
a summoner. Come what may��

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

��This is my destiny and I am
determined to fight for my country as a summoner. Come what may��

She hadn�t misunderstood.
That stupid little bitch was actually going to go to her death for her country!
Allyn had to stifle a laugh for fear that one of the four would see her lurking
about outside. She�d come in another attempt to bring herself closer to
Shuyin by showing concern for Lenne, but instead she�d stumbled upon the most
wonderful news she�d ever heard. Allyn didn�t understand how or why Lenne
was up and walking around so soon, but it didn�t matter anymore. She was
going to go to war and she was going to die. Shuyin would be all hers
soon.

With a smile on her pretty face,
Allyn quickly snuck back out of the hospital without being seen and was halfway
across the parking lot when she stopped dead in her tracks. Her smile
faded. She froze.

There was no guarantee Lenne would
die. What if she didn�t? What if she survived somehow and came
back? Allyn didn�t know how long the war would last so there was no
guarantee that she�d have enough time to win back Shuyin�s heart before it
ended and Lenne returned and stole him again. There had to be a way to
guarantee�

The idea hit her like a bolt of
lightening to the brain. It was simple. It was brilliant. It
was brilliant in its simplicity. This sort of thing happened all the time
and there would be no reason Shuyin would connect it to her. Even if it
did, she could tell him that she did it to keep Lenne safe which � in
essence � she was. It was perfect!!

Quickly hailing the first taxi
that crossed her path, Allyn made her way to the hoverstation and
Bevelle. She needed Benedict�s help with this. He had sworn to help
her and she was going to make sure he followed through. Although she was
a little concerned about him following orders, the concern was quickly
banished. This was something that even Benedict couldn�t screw up.
Besides, if for some reason he got overzealous and killed Lenne�summoners die
all the time. No big deal�

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

Lenne�s first steps into her house
were nervous at best. She hadn�t been there since the attack and was
nervous although Shuyin was right behind her. She felt his hand on her
back and took comfort in knowing that he wouldn�t leave. Her hand
trembled as she touched the doorknob and finally let it fall away, �I�m not
ready yet.� She said, �I really just want to relax for a little. Can we
go to your house instead?�

Shuyin nodded, �Anything you want,
beautiful.�

The couple smiled at each other
and then climbed back into Shuyin�s car for the short ride to his house.
Lenne felt more comfortable entering Shuyin�s living room than her own and
promptly kicked her shoes off and spun around with her arms extended before
running to him and wrapping those arms around his neck, �Make love to me.�

�Later,� Shuyin said, �I want to
talk about the war first. You�re not seriously considering going are
you?�

Lenne�s eyes took on a stern light
and she dropped her arms to her side and stepped back, �I�m not considering,
Shuyin. I�ve decided. It�s my job and I�m going. End of
discussion.�

�No, not �end of
discussion�. This is crazy!� Shuyin grabbed her arm, �Doing your job
doesn�t mean sacrificing yourself for people who aren�t even going to remember
your name!�

Lenne pulled her arm away from
Shuyin and glared at him, �So now you think I�m crazy?�

�No!� cried Shuyin, �but I think
that going to war is stupid. Especially when you don�t have to.�

�Oh! So I�m stupid and crazy
now!� she shrieked and turned her back to him and began walking back toward the
bathroom, �I�m going to take a shower, okay?�

Shuyin stood stunned at how she
had dismissed him so abruptly. As the door to the bathroom closed he
scowled. No way, it wasn�t ending there. He was going to talk her
out of this suicide mission and that was the end of it.

Storming over to the door he flung
it open and stepped inside. Wearing only her underwear, Lenne�s hair hung
over her shoulders and she stood in the middle of the bathroom with a frown on
her face, �I don�t remember saying you could join me.� she said, turning her
back to him. She pulled the rest of her clothing off of her body and then
looked over his shoulder, �Could you leave please?�

�I don�t think so, m�lady.�
Shuyin replied as he pulled her naked body back to press against him, �This is my
house and I say that we�re going to talk about this first.�

Lenne
struggled away from him and put her nose in the air with the feeling of
self-importance as she stepped into the shower and slammed the door shut behind
her. She didn�t hear Shuyin�s retreating footsteps and knew he still
stood just outside. She hated arguing with him and fully understood his
upset and anger at her decision, but it was her decision. He had
to accept that. Turning on the water she let the hot spray rush down her
body and as she reached for the soap she heard the door fling open.

Turning
in surprise, Lenne saw that Shuyin had stripped down and joined her. Her
eyes flew open in shock as he handed her the soap, �If you insist on showering
before talking, I�ve decided on a compromise. We shower while we
talk.�

�There�s
nothing to talk about.� Lenne said firmly as she turned her back to him.
The feeling of his strong arm around her waist aroused her immediately and the
feel of his lips on the back of her neck caused a small moan to escape her
lips.

Spinning
her around to face him, Shuyin grinned down at her, �I love that sound you make
when you�re horny.�

�I
don�t make a sound.� Lenne insisted, embarrassed that he noticed something like
that about her, �and I�m not horny.�

�Are
you sure about that?� Shuyin asked as he lathered his hands, �You asked me to
make love to you no more than five minutes ago.�

Lenne�s
breathing became staggered as he moved his soapy fingers over her breasts,
�That was before you called me crazy and stupid.� She managed.

�I
didn�t call you crazy and stupid, I called the action that.� His fingers
slipped between her thighs and Lenne let out a louder moan. Shuyin smiled
at her, �Still mad at me?�

Lenne
shook her head incoherently as his fingers moved slowly over her. He
slowly reached around her and turned the water off but before Lenne could ask
why, he had lifted her up in his arms and was carrying her into the
bedroom. Laying her softly onto the bed, Shuyin rose above her and Lenne
welcomed him.

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

The
trip to Bevelle was short and Allyn was the first to climb out of the hover
onto Bevelle soil. She knew that the longer the war went on, the harder
it would be to get back and forth to Bevelle, but she had to make this last
trip. It was of the utmost importance.

Her
feet slapped against the pavement as she ran toward the palace and into the
soldier�s quarters and Benedict�s office. Shoving the door open she
barged in as Benedict looked up at her with a smirk, �The lovely Miss.
Ackmard. To what do I owe the pleasure?�

Allyn
sneered at him, �I�ve got a job for you, Benny.� She replied as she leaned
seductively over his desk giving the commander full sight of her breasts, �and
I intend on making it worth your while.�

�As
much as I would love to help you, Allyn,� Benedict replied, �I have my work cut
out for me with this war so I can�t help you scare Lenne anymore.�

Allyn
shook her head and ran a long finger over Benedict�s jawline to connect his
eyes with hers, �This little job will coincide with the war.� Having
effectively grabbed his attention, Allyn took the opportunity presented to walk
around his desk and prop a long leg up on his desk, drawing her skirt higher
upon her thigh to give him a look at her leg. She knew that Benedict
longed for her and she would use that information to her advantage.
Smirking, she said, �I need you to kidnap her.�

�Kidnap
her? How does that coincide with the war?� Benedict asked, though not
taking his eyes off of her thigh.

�Well,�
replied Allyn, �Lenne is a summoner. Zanarkand�s summoners will be going
to war shortly. Take her as a POW when she�s there.� Benedict�s eyes left
her thigh and joined her green orbs as she continued, �I don�t care what
happens to her after that. Just keep her alive. That way if this is
traced back to me, I can tell Shuyin that I did it for her safety.�

Benedict
smiled, �And if she doesn�t come back, you get Shuyin��

�Right,�
Allyn agreed, �but either way, I have him to myself for a while.�

Benedict
slowly ran a hand up her thigh and inched his way up her skirt but never took
his eyes from hers, �And what will I get in return?�

�If
you have to ask,� replied Allyn, �you�re not as smart as you think you are.�

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

Later,
Shuyin and Lenne separated and dressed slowly on opposite sides of the
bed. Neither had spoken of the war or her possible involvement although
the conversation hung in the air unspoken. Lenne rounded the bed first
and headed toward the door that led back to the living room, �How about I make
us something to eat?�

Shuyin
nodded his assent and followed her but the couple only got so far as the living
room when Shuyin grabbed her arm, �I don�t want you to.�

�No
food?� Lenne asked.

�You
know what I�m talking about,� replied Shuyin, �I won�t let you go to war.�

Lenne�s
eyes flashed and she pulled her arm away from Shuyin as she stormed across the
room before finally turning to face him, �You won�t let me! Who in
Spira do you think you are? You can�t tell me what to do, Shuyin!�

�You
are my girlfriend! I don�t want�Lenne, I don�t want to lose you!� Shuyin
crossed closer to her, �I almost lost you and I couldn�t deal with it if I
actually did. I think I�d go crazy!�

Lenne
downcast her eyes and put her hands on her hips, �It�s my job, Shuyin.�
She replied, �You left me to go to your job and I was attacked! Is
your job more important than mine?�

�Wait
just a second!� hissed Shuyin, �Are you saying you blame me for your being
attacked?�

Lenne
shrugged, �Maybe if you�d have been here the attacker would have just had two
people to stab. Then again, maybe if you�d have been here, I wouldn�t
have been hurt! We�ll never know, will we?�

Shuyin
threw his hands in the air and let out an exasperated yell, �I can�t believe
this!� he cried, �You blame me! You�re trying to make me feel guilty so
that I will let you go to war!�

�I�ll
go to war,� hissed Lenne, �whether you let me or not.�

�Oh
no you won�t!�

�Oh
yes I will!�

Shuyin
scowled at her and opened his mouth to respond when he caught a look at the
clock. It was 3:45pm. His eyes widened, �Oh shit! I�m 45
minutes late to practice!�

Lenne
spun around to look at the clock, �I�m supposed to be there today too!�

Grabbing
his blitzball bag from the corner, he opened the door and looked at Lenne,
�We�ll finish this conversation after practice. Come on.�

The
ride to the stadium was tense and silent. The couple stared out of the
windshield and didn�t speak to each other. Neither wanted to admit that
they knew where the other was coming from. Lenne didn�t want to go to war
and was secretly grateful that Shuyin was so worried about her. Shuyin
understood where Lenne was coming from, but he didn�t want anything to happen
to her.

Pulling
into the parking lot, Shuyin rounded the car to let Lenne out and then grabbed
his bag from the backseat. The two walked in tense silence toward the
stadium when Shuyin stopped her, �I love you. That�s why I�m like this,
you know.�

Lenne
nodded, �I know that, Shuyin. I lo��

A
deafening sound from the sky stopped Lenne in mid-sentence and caused both
Shuyin and Lenne to look up. Streaming down from the sky was what looked
like a huge meteor. Shuyin�s eyes caught the retreating lights of an
airship and before he could voice his realization of what was falling from the
sky, the bomb hit with full force and knocked Shuyin and Lenne backward on the
parking lot. Their lungs filled with smoke and the heat of the fire
ignited by the explosion touched their skin as they sat up on the
pavement. Shuyin�s eyes adjusted to the light around him as he realized
what had happened.

The
bomb had landed directly on the blitzball stadium in which the Zanarkand Abes
were practicing. What had once been the center of entertainment in
Zanarkand was now a pile of burning rubble.

A
scream of anguish echoed in Shuyin�s ears and it took him a moment to realize
that the sound came from him.
Author�s Notes: I have decided to write Silver Wings
2 since I do have a few people interested. I�m starting to think about
it�s connections to this story as well as outline it a little bit.
Hopefully it will turn out well. As for this story, this chapter is going
to be another important section of the war as well as the last chapter before
hell truly breaks loose.
