GNY: Alright I was able to find my 2nd chapter, and fix it ^_^ I just had to edit a few things...PLEASE DON'T BE MAD. By the way I don't own Freelancer Kansas AKA William. He belongs to Gellvar on Deviantart! I own Jack though, who was a shortly lived character. I also own Eos, whose form he's based on I do not own. SquareEnix owns Final Fantasy X and the fiends that come along with it.

I already have a pairing, that me and Gell decided on. It is:

LilithxWilliam

AKA

FloridaxKansas

Okay enjoy the newest, or rather old chapter...(Shudders) Man I was a terrible writer. Oh next chapter will be a crossover with Kingdom Hearts I and II, with tidbits of KH:BBS in it. It's all from a RP that Gellvar and I were doing. It'll take place a few months after she and Kansas were introduced, and It'll have Florida's charge, Mei, who happens to be the granddaughter of a old friend of the Director's. This story's gonna be filled with wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff very soon.

Chapter 2: Old memory and a new life

FLASHBACK

"No wait!" He pleaded. "Please let me explain! Just please listen to me."

She could only glare as her mind was in a fury. She felt her heart shatter after what he had told her. She didn't even want to listen to what he had to say.

"Why should I? You work for that damn twisted freak!" she growled and before she could even walk off he grabbed her by the wrist. "Let me go." she said as calmly as possible.

She didn't even want to even look at him. He, the man she trusted so greatly and loved, had been working for her father.

Did he tell her father that she'd sneak out and go into town?

Did her father suspect that she was and had hired him to keep an eye on her in order to confirm his suspicions?

Oh it sent chills down her spine just thinking about the possibilities that her mind racked up.

"Please it's not what you think. I love you more than anything. I only agreed to work for your father because I didn't want you to constantly risk your life by sneaking out to see me. That way I could make sure your father wouldn't do anything that would kill you and I'd be able to be closer to you."

She froze and stopped struggling, turning to face him. His face no longer held a pleading look but one of upmost seriousness. She searched his eyes to see if he meant what he said. His eyes held nothing but the truth. She could also see that his love for her was also true. She suddenly felt guilty for snapping at him. She should have listened out to him. She knew that he would never do something bad unless he had a pure motive behind his reasons.

"Don't you see? I did it all so I could protect you." She felt his hand release her wrist as her hand fell limply to her side.

She couldn't move. She was floored. That's the whole reason why he-

"Never once did I ever tell your father that you've been sneaking out. Every time I was asked I said that I had searched the entire city for you, and I hadn't found any sign of you anywhere."

"Why would you do such a silly thing? You could be the one that gets hurt." She sniffed and allowed him to pull her into a tight hug. It was as if that he thought if he'd let her go she'd be taken from him. She knew that he loved her greatly. They both loved each other more than anything. She couldn't help but cry. Even though he has been around that cruel monster who dared call himself her father he still hadn't seen the worst side of him. She had seen it many times and it was something that no one should ever see. She returned the hug crying as he held her close, whispering words of comfort to her.

The scene around them suddenly changed and she felt pain everywhere. They were now in a dark hallway instead of the park outside in the city. She held her dying love in her arms as he bled heavily from his chest. She sobbed as she was supposed to be the one to take the hit. Her father had a long knife in his arms and swung at her. She was suddenly pushed out of the way and he had taken a direct hit. She, in her sorrowful rage, had killed her father and ripped him apart. She immediately ran back to her companion lying on the cold steel floor. He had lost too much blood. There was simply no hope for him ever surviving. She didn't care that the blood was on her. All she had focused on was the one she loved so dearly, lying in her arms.

He weakly smiled and lifted a hand to her cheek, laying it on her tear-streaked face. He mentally cursed himself for not offing that asshole when he got the chance. He had millions of chances to kill him when his back was turned to him, leaving him vulnerable and open for death. But no. He waited too long. Was this his punishment or was it karma? Either way it sucked big time. Not to mention it ruined his plans. Looks like he'll have to rush things.

"Hey." he softly spoke. "Don't cry anymore okay? Instead do me a favor and get out of here. Go and take your mother and brother far away from this hellhole." She placed a hand on the one that laid on her cheek, sobbing even harder. She couldn't bare to leave him alone in this place.

This was a living nightmare.

She hated herself. She placed the blame on herself completely. If she hadn't froze the way she did, maybe he would've still been alive. No. He would have lived.

"N-no I won't leave you." She choked out through her pained sobs.

She knew that he was the only one out of the people that loved her, he loved her the most and he knew of her father's cruelty. Her mother and brother hadn't had a clue.

He brought up his other hand and searched his jacket. Her eyes widened at what he had pulled out. It was a ring. No way.

"I-is that?" she managed to stutter out. She had suspected this before by the way he was acting earlier that day. He had stuck his hand inside his jacket pocket and fiddled around with whatever was in it the entire day.

He smiled. She knew what he was going to ask. She was always a quick one to catch onto things.

"I was planning to ask you after I had gotten you and the rest of your family out of this place and away from that crazy bastard." He coughed. "But it looks like I won't be able to. But I still want to ask. So being the total idiot that I am, will you marry me?"

She wanted to bust out into hysteric tears. Instead she smiled bitterly. "Jack you lovable idiot. You obviously would know my answer."

Jack grinned, blood dripping down the side of his mouth. He knew that no matter what she'd always say yes...but as fate would have it she'd be married to a dead man. He chuckled and kissed her knuckles, obviously trying to comfort her. The look in her eyes changed as she quickly rose, threw one of his arms around her shoulders, and began to walk keeping him leaning against her. He became confused until he realized what she was doing. They both knew that there was only one way for him to survive and it was the emergency medical pack in hallway B.

"Fine." He mumbled. "I see what you're doing." He noticed something in the shadows and he blinked, seeing it disappear. "Just go down this way..."

She patched up Jack with whatever medical supplies she was able to find, much to his protest. It wasn't much and he still could risk dying of blood loss but it would have to do. He sat down with his back against the cool metal of the wall. He told her to go on and that he'll catch up with her later, that he just needed to rest. She was hesitant until he pulled her down and quickly kissed her. She immediately caved and kissed back before he pulled away, giving her one last smile and telling her not to worry about him and to go on ahead. She reluctantly left him where he was, with a necklace she gave to him hanging around his neck gleaming oddly. He told her not to look back no matter what, and she never once did. When she left the building there was a noise before the facility was engulfed in a blazing inferno...She cried out his name and broke down in her mother's arms, where she was then guided to the packed-up car, and they left. She closed her eyes and muttered Jack's name once more before darkness engulfed her.

FLASHBACK OVER

'That was just a few years ago. But it still feels like it was only yesterday.'

I sighed as I laid on my back over the covers of my bed. I held up a sliver ring up to the light, hanging on a sliver chain necklace. The ring he gave me was a simple design, two intricately detailed wings overlapping each other. I still kept the ring, even though I believed him to be dead. I can act like myself when I'm alone, the person I was before that happened. I didn't cuss back then until now so I just use it so no one can know who I was before. I changed myself completely outwardly. Whatever I said that flew from my mouth sounded completely foreign to me. As if it was coming from a different person. I didn't simply feel like Lillium anymore...The only thing that seemed to be left was 'Lilith'.

Was I really doomed to stay Lilith and not Lillium?

"My sensors indicate that you're somewhat depressed. Like to talk about it?" A deep, almost electronic, male voice purred calmingly, ringing through my mind. I suddenly came back into focus, and knew immediately who it was.

I turned my head to my side where a large feline-like face was staring at me. I sighed as I frowned at my A.I. partner and closest companion, Eos. He was completely different from all the others for different reasons. He told me he had a 'sister' named Cortana and he hadn't seen her since 'selection day'. Selection Day was when AIs were given to different SPARTANS...he hadn't picked one and after a few years he finally picked someone. That someone was me.

His design intrigued me the first time I met him, due to his...animal appearance. He explained that one of the scientists that took part in creating him was a video game nerd. He was designed to look like some cat thing from a game called 'Final Fantasy X'. What was it called?

Coerel? Cureal? Oh. Coeurl! That was it. He's a Coeurl. Cute really. It reminds me of a mix between a lynx and a white tiger...the scientist really must've been a huge nerd if he got every detail right.

To tell the truth, I had a hard time taking him seriously during our first meeting. He's definitely different from the other AIs...not only is he 'older' than them but I can actually touch him. I can feel the warm plush fur...It's like he's a living creature. Wait. He can become one. When I was having one of my annoying-as-hell memory relapses he materialized himself before me so that he could comfort and calm me down before I could go berserk and destroy everything.. He makes a excellent pillow when York Wash steals mine. He also has his own emotions which shouldn't be possible for him. I decided not to think about it any further so I focused back to the matter at hand...which I've suddenly forgot.

"No I'm fine." I reassured him kicking my legs over the side of my bed before grabbing my armor.

'At least I think I'll be.' The thought didn't help me that much. It still hurt remembering what happened that day. I don't think I'll ever get over it. But I just hope he doesn't see that I'm bluffing.

"If you say so."

I nearly lost my composure but I recovered before he'd see it….I don't think he bought it. Damn. I can't hide anything from him.

"By the way there's something I need to inform you about."

Shit. Is it going to be a bad thing like last time?

The last thing he told me awhile ago was when York had stolen my clothes from after I took a shower. It was revenge for me filling his helmet with pudding.

Hehehe…good times, good times...I still think he's mad about that.

"There's a newbie among us now."

He licked his paw. He didn't know how I was going to take the news so he hoped that I'd take it better than Washington did. He told him ahead of time just in case. For a long story short, he was glad that I wasn't in the room when he went on a full out rant on how I couldn't be trusted with another partner since my last one 'died' from a heart-attack on my last mission. How was I supposed to know that they had a extreme fear of heights to the point where they'd have a panic attack?

My ears perked up at this tidbit of news as I got myself into my suit. The news excited me. There hadn't been a new person here at the base for a long time. I was the newbie a year or two back when I first joined. I wonder what kind of person they are? Well they better not be a total asshat or I'm kicking some ass today...

I also hope it's a girl.

Too much testosterone here as it is.

"Wyoming, Washington and Maine are going to 'greet' the newcomer. We might as well go and watch. It'll be worth watching I'm sure. Also I've placed some bets down for you. It's all on the newbie."

I gave Eos a thumbs up and shoved my helmet on my head. I made sure that my necklace was hidden underneath the suit comfortably as I made my way out of my room. I noticed South and North Dakota were already walking towards the training room. I grinned as I knew that they were probably just as curious as I was and had placed their bets down too. Before I even said anything I quickly wrapped a bandage around my left eye. I had almost forgotten to change the bandages before I left, finally noticing how tattered they were.

"Hey! Wait up!" I caught up to the two siblings as we walked towards the training room. Me and South were hoping it was a girl, simply because that there were only 3 girls so far, including us. North just put in his input that since it was three against one, there was no chance that the new guy would win. That started a mini argument between us and him.

As we walked away, Eos watched me go with a blank look that soon turned somewhat sad yet protective, his eyes gleaming with a unknown emotion that some wouldn't think that a AI was capable of. Then again he wasn't a ordinary AI.

"If only she looked back that day. She would've noticed that the second she turned her back that he had vanished." He mumbled. He hadn't pressured me to answering him truthfully for a good reason...I'd lose my mind if he told me the truth.

"After all, both he and her little brother had something that the Director wanted terribly."

Only the Director and he knew the truth of what happened to Jack that day.

And I would never know. Nor would I ever find out.

He'd sooner let himself be deleted then let me find out the truth. For some reason it ached to think that there was a possibility that I'd hate him for not saying anything. I became his most closest companion, and I refused to let him call me 'master', which I found demeaning. We had such a deep connection to each other that it would pain him to see me in a devastated state of mind.

"She hasn't a clue what is to become of her future."

His eyes widened when a thought suddenly came to him and his ears flattened to his skull in embarrassment, a faint blush painting his furry face. He had been so worried over me that he was supposed to tell me from the Director himself.

"Oops. I forgot to tell her that she's getting a new partner. Oh well she'll find out sooner or later."

He shrugged his shoulders. Hopefully it wouldn't be a problem later on. The only other concern was that he wouldn't know if this Agent Kansas would get along well with me but after reading his file and speaking to his AI, there was a glimmer of hope that it could be a possibility.

"This'll be a show no one will want to miss."

He then vanished to return to his place in my suit.

He was right. I truly didn't have a clue what was to happen now. But one thing is for certain.

Things are going to get rough sooner then anyone would expect.

Real soon.

If any of you haven't noticed, Florida's got a potty mouth. She'll chill out when Kansas becomes very close to her. I really need to have a beta...it'll hopefully help me a lot.

Can't wait to write the rest of the next chapter.

I also can't believe that I was on a painful writer's block for so long...

Oh wait. Here's some important news.
