Chapter Five: Blast from
the Past
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
Blitzball practice had run later than usual so when Shuyin, Skirpa, and Bruttam walked out of the stadium all three of them were so
tired they could have collapsed on the street and slept. Skirpa still had a grin on his face – one that he’d had all
during practice – but he wouldn’t tell Shuyin
why. He would only say that ‘Shuyin knew why’
and leave it at that.
The
blond blitzer was about to point out that he didn’t
know what was so damned great when he saw a streak of
blue from the corner of his eye. He turned his head and saw Lenne rushing toward him with a huge smile on her beautiful
face. He briefly noted Zaon and Yunalesca behind her but all conscious thoughts left his
head when she reached him and hugged him close to her. He could smell the
scent of jasmine in her hair and momentarily let himself close his eyes and
block out all other things except for her until she pulled away and said,
“Thank you so much!”
Shuyin could feel the eyes of his friends on him and the beautiful
songstress but he forced himself to focus on the gorgeous creature before
him. He allowed himself a small grin when he asked, “Why?”
Lenne laughed and shook her head, “Like you don’t know!” she punched
him playfully and said, “I talked to Wargna this
morning and he is still interested in
that position you told me about last night.” She waited for him to give her a
look of understanding before she said, “Yep! I got it!!”
Impulsively,
Shuyin gave her a quick kiss on the lips, “That is so
great!” he cried before he realized what he’d done. He wanted to crawl in
a hole and die or run before she had a chance to slap him, but she didn’t slap
him.
Instead
she grinned and said, “And I owe it all to you. I don’t know how I can
repay you.”
Skirpa stepped forward at that moment and introduced himself to Lenne. When that was finished he smiled at the
songstress and suggested a means to repay Shuyin,
“You could take him out to dinner with your first paycheck.”
Lenne smiled and said, “If Shuyin’s
interested, then that’d be great.”
The
Farplane must have exploded. Macalania must have melted. The Thunder Plains must
have become a tourist attraction. The world as Shuyin
knew it had to have been coming to an end.
Lenne wanted to go out with him!
Shuyin was, once again, unable to form words. His mouth opened and
closed like a fish while Lenne waited for him to
respond. He could see Bruttam shaking his head
in disappointment at Shuyin’s pathetic display but Skirpa just grinned and said to Lenne,
“See, he likes you so much he’s tongue tied.”
“Well,”
Lenne said to Skirpa, “I
seriously doubt that I could make any guy tongue tied, much less Shuyin.” She playfully punched Shuyin
in the chest again, “So do you want to…”
“Shuyin?!”
That
voice was one Shuyin hadn’t heard in almost three
years. He stiffened visibly and cast a glance at Zaon
who also had a tense look on his face. Shuyin
focused his blue eyes on the woman approaching him. Dressed in
tight black leggings and a long red sweater, the girl’s dark blond hair was
accented by a black barrette that clung to a few strands and kept them from her
face. Shuyin swallowed hard and tried to keep
his anger under control.
“That
is you!” she said when she came to stop in front of Shuyin,
who still had Lenne by his side. She grinned,
“How have you been?”
Shuyin didn’t answer. It wasn’t because his mouth couldn’t form
words. On the contrary, they could form quite a few words but none of
them seemed appropriate to say in front of Lenne.
After a few minutes of silence, the girl’s smile faded and she asked, “You
haven’t forgotten my name, have you?” she put her hands on her hips, “Since
I’ve been back in town, I’ve heard quite a few rumors about you. None of
them too flattering, I might add.”
Lenne’s questioning gaze caused Shuyin to realize he was going to have to speak to the girl
in front of him at some point. Pointedly refusing to speak to her would
make him look bad in Lenne’s eyes and that was the
last thing he wanted – especially since she had expressed interest in going out
with him. He sighed and said, “I thought you were living in D-West, Allyn.”
Allyn’s smile returned, “So you do remember me!”
“I
wouldn’t forget someone like you, Allyn.
Someone who is so…” A sharp jab in the ribs from Skirpa
caused him to stop in mid sentence and shoot his friend thankful look.
Just being within feet of Allyn was making him
furious.
Why
was she back?!
Allyn looked at Lenne and gave her a fake
smile as she said, “My, are you Lady Lenne from
C-South?”
Lenne nodded, “Yes I am. It’s nice to meet you Allyn.”
Lenne extended her hand to shake Allyn’s but
the pompous female just looked at it and sneered, “I’m sure it is, honey.” Shuyin could see Lenne’s shock at
the rude comment she’d received and he felt his annoyance with Allyn grow to anger. He rushed forward, grabbing the
woman’s arm roughly and dragging her across the street to stand under the blitzball statue that stood outside of the stadium.
------------------.
“Who
is that?” Yunalesca asked as the group watched Shuyin interrogate the girl from across the street.
She looked familiar and assumed she was one of Shuyin’s
many one night stands, but there was something about the way they fought that
indicated a deeper sort of familiarity.
Her
husband shrugged, “It’s a long story.”
Skirpa and Bruttam nodded in agreement, “A
very long story.” Bruttam agreed.
Yunalesca noted the way that Lenne
watched Shuyin shyly and with a sort of
longing. It was obvious that her friend liked the blitzer
and that frightened Yunalesca. Shuyin wasn’t the type to stick around and she knew that Lenne would just fall in love with him and end up hurt and
alone. She really wished there was something she could do to stop that,
but there wasn’t. Lenne was doomed to her own
fate and if that fate meant Shuyin then there was
nothing Yunalesca could do to prevent it.
Still
curious and a little concerned for Lenne’s feelings, Yunalesca nudged her husband, “Come on, Zaon.
I’m sure there’s a short version to that story of yours. Who is she?”
“Her
name is Allyn.” Replied Zaon.
Yunalesca searched her mind for that name and then
it hit her. She’d seen that girl with Shuyin
several times early on in her relationship with Zaon.
She hadn’t known Shuyin very well then and the two
rarely hung out with him at that point but she distinctly remembered that
girl. She gasped and cried, “Please tell me she’s not here to tell him he
has a child!”
Skirpa started laughing at the absurdity of that remark and said,
“No! No! No! If Allyn has a child,
it sure as hell isn’t Shuyin’s. It’s probably…”
he paused and looked at Bruttam, “What was that guy’s
name again?”
“George
or Gayorg or Georg or something like that, I think.”
-----------------------.
“You’re
hurting my arm!” Allyn hissed as she wrenched her arm
away from Shuyin and glared at him, “I thought you’d
be happy to see me.”
Shuyin let out a loud laugh and shook his head, “Why the hell would I be happy to see you?! I thought you were living it up
in D-West with…” he paused and scratched his head, “What was his name again?”
“Georg.”
Allyn said solemnly before adding, “I’m not seeing
him anymore.”
“So
let me guess. You thought that you could just swing your hips back to
A-East and I’d drop to my knees for you.” Shuyin
rolled his eyes, “Get over yourself Allyn.”
“Is
that singer your girlfriend?” she asked after Shuyin
had taken a few steps away from her. The blitzer
stopped and turned back to her as she said, “You always were her biggest
fan. Does she know you have all of her spheres?”
Shuyin leaned into Allyn so that she could
feel his breath on her face, “Lenne is none of your
business. Nothing in my life is any of your business anymore, Allyn. You made that choice when you left.”
“I
loved you, you know.” Allyn whispered, “I still
do.”
Shuyin glared at her, “You had a hell of a funny way of showing it.” He
replied and with that said, Shuyin spun on his heels
and marched right over the Lenne. He wasn’t
going to let Allyn’s unwelcomed appearance interrupt
him answering the lovely songstress’ question. Smiling at the girl, he
said, “Now that that is out of the way. I would love to let you take me
to dinner sometime.”
Lenne grinned into his eyes and obviously forgot totally about the
interruption, “That’d be great. How about tonight?”
“Tonight
is fantastic.”
-------------------------------.
Allyn stood seething as she watched the small group of friends walk
away but she focused her anger and hatred on only one – the pretty brunette, Lenne.
Who
did that bitch think she was? If she wasn’t around, Allyn
could have swept back into town and reclaimed what was rightfully hers without
anyone’s interference but now she was going to have to work at reclaiming her property.
“Damn
that prissy little bitch!” she hissed to herself as she watched that pretty
songstress saunter alongside Shuyin, casting
flirtatious glances toward him and giggling stupidly at whatever thing he’d
just said.
Forcing
herself to take a deep breath, Allyn straightened her
hair. She had to relax. Since it was obvious that her plan of
staying with Shuyin was put on temporary hold, she
had to find a place to stay first. Once that was finished, she could work
on shoving little miss songstress out of the picture and putting herself next
to Shuyin the way it was meant to be.
She felt a triumphant smile forming on her lips as she watched Lenne round the corner with the rest of them, “Very soon,
little missy. I’ll wipe that damned smile right off of your face.” She
hissed as she turned and walked in the opposite direction toward the apartment
district.
Author’s Notes: Okay folks. This is the
first official Shuyin/Lenne
date. That grilled cheese sandwich meal from the previous chapters didn’t
count. Enjoy!
