Chapter One : Not On A Regular Basis
The room smelled a horrible damp smell, the kind that could make me faint by just inhaling deeply the slightest bit. There he was once agian, on the couch with some of the cushions damaged, sleeping with a bunch of empty beer cans and red wine bottles beside him. I hated being here, in the same damn home! This one of the reasons why I chose to stick with the blitz so I could cool my mind off at some times.
Walking to the wide window, I didn't care if I would wake Jecht up - I mean he didn't deserve a good night's rest, right? I sat on my bottom on the cool ground, leaning against the window and slouching in my position, tracing invisible circles on the glass with my forefinger.
Jecht suddenly groaned, shifted in his position, and moaned at me, ''What the heck are you doing?" I set my jaw and didn't talk, he changed the subject." You're the ugliest thing that I ever saw!" My eyes began to water, I felt it, of course I am a girl but even I think that I cry to much -- even for my age, I'm seventeen! "What you gonna cry?" Sitting up Jecht laughed a gruesome, harsh laugh, I was glad I wasn't right beside him. His breath think about it, after several bottles of wine and beer. " Oh, you're gonna cry. Then cry, I don't care. You're gonna cry soon, trust me, oh you're gonna. Admit it, you're just a big crybaby!"
My hand stopped moving and so did my rotating finger, it turned into a clenched fist, I moved my hand to my chest. Hot tears sprang to my eyes and dropped, trickling down my cheeks, meeting the ground after seconds. Shutting my eyes I said, "I hate you Jecht!" It was only a mere whisper under my breath, I gasped and more tears fell.
"What? I can't hear you!" He gestured me in a way that he always thought of humorous.
''I said I hate you!" My voice, it had only increased a litttle more volume.
Jecht knew what I was saying already, in fact he knew ever since I was a very young small girl. I don't know but he disappeared when was seven, leaving it easier for my mother and I...but now he's back. He was supposed to be dead when he went for training out in the Zanarkand Sea...but he came back, living in the same home with me! "What did you say? " Jecht laughed.
I soon got fed up, which made me get on my feet, I overlooked down at the naive, foolish, man, "I know that you now what I mean Jecht! I know you know, hear me!?" The voice that came out my mouth was now more filled with flames of hot red licking tongues of fire and sparks of saddness on another side. "You think I'm weak! Well, if you're deaf not my problem, get it!? You hear me now 'cause I'm not going to say it again!" He stared at me with a grin on his face, seeming amussed. Even if I knew myself that I would say that again, but maybe I just wont for the day, I guess. I continued, " I HATE YOU JECHT! " It was wierd how he never got his feelings hurt -- maybe he thought he was the only ace in blitzball so he got the right to be like that.
Tears dripping madly down my face, I headed towards the door trying my best not to take an inhalation of the alcohol that I felt was toxic to me. I heard him laughing his freakin' head off, while cluctching his stomach. Not knowing that it was going to happen, I took my glass of water that I didn't finish and threw it at him. He got wet and the broken glass went everywhere, but still he laughed not easing one tiny bit. Right before I opened the door, I ran my hand on the side counter till my right and grasped my black shades, andputting them on. I hoped people would'nt suspect anything about it -- well, I usually wear these....Opening the door, I didn't turn back nor said another single word, I slammed the door shut hoping that it would show Jecht how mad I was.
As I walked on the on the path of the main way in Zanarkand, I looked around and saw a bunch of people running towards the stadium, near at the front....That's it! That's what I forgot -- because of that low, lame, dim witted Jecht-- blitzball! How could I have forgotten? Oh, shoot I was going to be playing today, and I don't know if I'm late or not....Wait, people are still running to the stadium which ment on the count of that I wasn't late.
Running past people, I tried to not push them over,okay....I'm not going to make it like this. Bringing my hand to my mouth, I used my forefinger and thumb to produce a high thrilling sound, heh, heh, heh, my secret weapon. Some people stopped running and made a path for me, right to the staduim. What'd I say, I knew it'd work. In Zanarkand the high pitch whistle was the signal for an incoming blitzall player. So, I accepted it and the took the path, taking me all the way to the blitz stadium.
On my way two teenager coeds, around my age, screamed, " Go Yuna!"
Giving them a one sided smile to the left of my face, I tilted my head ever so slightly and yelled over the anticipation of the crowded people, "Thank's! " I ran ahead, my knee length black boots hitting the surface of the metal plated ground.
Now walking to the shpere pool that was already filled with water, I stretched my arms outward and pulled my black gloves further up. I thought that I needed gloves to get a good, firm grip on the blitzball and this piar was specially designed to have the fingertips of it cut off; my favourite! Making my way around the sphere pool, I joined my team, Zanarkand's all time favourite team, the Zanarkand Abes! "Hey, we almost thought you would'nt make it. " It was my teamate. She had her long red hair tied back up into a pontytail, then it was braided into many thin individual plaits. I could'nt understand how she could play with her shades. When I played I took mine off.
"Sorry, " I say, "but now I'm here, right?! "
"Yeah! " The whole team chorused.
"Ready? " The words were shouted out my mouth.
"Yeah!!! " We all shouted together. Team went to the platform to reach the sphere pool, and got in our places. The team glared at us there was no way that we would loose to them, this was the tournament.
Swimming to the midle of the sphere pool, th blitzball was passed to me. An opponent from the other team swam foward to me, attacking. Trying to swim away from the monstrosious guy, dude, person, he pervertically wrapped himself on me. I tried to get free of his hold and kicked my legs out infront of me, holding the ball to my chest. Deciding that couldn't get out of his hold, I passed it to my red hair dudette teamate. I couldn't remember all their names so I had nicknames for them.
Catching the ball, Red Hair Dudette passed it to the Brown hair Dude. The perveted guy let go of me and swam after the ball. Brown Hair Dude passed the ball back to me and I threw it into the opposite team's goal before the perverted guy could go to me. Hving the goal, Brown Hair Dude swam toward Red Hair Dude and they exchanged high fives together.
Getting the ball again, Red hair Dudette threw the ball to one of our other teamates. A long haired girl from the opposing team with black shades was going after the ball. But when she saw me going right after it, she stopped and I took the ball with me out of the sphere pool. Throwing he ball higher than me, I performed backflip and kicked the ball back down into the goal when my feet met with it. The ball went down with me, into the water in the sphere pool. The buzzer sounded and our team won the tournament. Our two teamsgot out of the sphere pool and i offered a hand to the girl with the long black hair. "Hey. " I say, "good game. " She ignored my hand and walked away with her teamates. Stepping back I say, " Whoa bad mood."
"Eh don't mind her. She's probably just like that buecause her team did'nt win the tournament." Stated my red hair friend.
"Yeah, whatever. Come on. " We walked off to the locker room, following the others who were ahead of us.
"You going home goin' home Yuna?"
I looked at my teamates and thoughjt of Jecht. "I...uh...mmm-- yes. See ya guys later." Standing, they waved a lame good-bye, everyone must've been tired from the game that we just played. Heading out the door I put on my shades and left and stretched my arms. It was a cold night in Zanarkand tonight, I wonder when my mom would be back home. The game must've passed the mid of the night, it's almost sunrise. One by one the glowing lights went out and the horizon started to glow, as if it was almost on fire, partly rosy coloured. The redish rosy colour reached out in the skies of Zanarkand, spreading into the calm waters of the sea, afterwards glowing a steady glow upon the whole city of Zanarkand. It was remarkable, it was best if I was home.
When I was home, it was still dark inside. Scared, I called out, "Mom?...Dad...?" There was no answer, my heart began to thump faster, making chest feel uncomfortable. Entering the room, I tried to close the door as quietly as I could. Shakily taking off my shades, I walked to my mom's bedroom. Peering over the edge of the door frame, I said sofly, "Mom? " On a regular basis nothing like this would happen. I made my way through my mother's things all cluttered and meesed about on the cold floor. For some reason I didn't intend to turn on the lights, my eyes adjusted to the shadows lurking in the darkness around the bedroom. I scanned the room, clutching my own shaking body. I walked further in, towards the the rectangular bed, near the window at the rear end of the room.
My mother's clothes were laid messed about on the surface of the bed and that's when my body froze. For some reason I didn't dare to look on the other side of the bed, near the wall, by the window. Slowly, I said, "Mom...are you there?" Walking over to the area between the bed and the wall, which was the rear end of the room, my eyes stayed fixed upon the bed cover on the cold ground. It had a shape, from resting ontop of whatever was under it. My lips shook in fear, "Mom?" Slowly reaching out, I grabbed the cloth, jumping back in suprise, letting out a gasp. "Mom!"
She was there, lying nude, agianst the pale coloured ground. Absently, I ran to her side she wasn't moving the slightest bit. As usuall, my eyes began to water but this was different, I stared wide eyed at her soft face. Her lips were also bruised, chapped, and dry blood were still on the surface. Putting my ear down to her mouth I heard no breathing, she didn't even stirr. Now I knew ...she...was dead. How could this have happen and who was creul enough to do this?
Tears of saddness fell from my eyes, dripping onto Mom's face, I was angry but sad and scared. I wondered now, could have this been Ject's doing? If it was it was then he is so going to get it when I see him-- but why would he? Mom was his wife so he should love her, right? I felt helpless and my tears became more. "Why? Now what will I do--" A suddden sound in the room cut my words, I froze.
Peerong over the edge of the bed na man stepped foward. He had brown hair tied back in a ponytail, and wore a type of sunglass to hide a scar, I suppose. He wore a thick red, knee length, high collar coat with the clouser at the front; the sleeves were long. His pants were black and had heavy black boots worn. i knew it was Auron, "Auoron?" I asked just tp make sure.
His voice was low as low and he always intended to speak slowly, "Yuna, we must leave now."
"Why?"
"Because Jecht is going after you."
"B-but what about mom, who did this to her...?" My mind pleaded for an answer. "Did Jecht do this?"
"Yes ," Auron answered firmly, " and that will happen to you, too, if you don't leave. I will take you to...Spira."
"...I...uhh...ummm," I gulped, " okay." That was my anwer.
"Let us go now."
"Wait." Bowing, I gave my mom a last kiss on her forehead. Hugging one last time, I finally managed to let go, putting the cover ontop her body. "Okay let's go." Putting on my shades my vision became darker. Leaving the room, I stayed close to Auron, I glanced back at Mom and gave her one short prayer.
When we made it out, the brightness of the outside blinded my eyes even if I wore the shades; my eyes got so used to the dark. Turining around, Auron stopped me in my tracks. Here, this is from Jecht, " Auron remarked. It was a sheathed sword.
"No, you gotta be kidding, " I stared up at him into dark eyes. They stayed firm, fixed on me, that ment he wasn't kidding. "Okay I'll just take the fact that you stole it from him."
"It was a present from him when you were a kid."
"Me, why, though?" I asked.
"Becasue...he thought that you'd be a male but got birth as a female." I sort of got Surons point now, it was a present for me, but not exactly because I wasn't the male child that Jecht wanted.
"Right, let's set off to Spira." He nodded an approval and we walked off to the dock, where the boats were.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was night out when I walked out onto the deck. Thinking that my life is now such a disastier, I clutched the sword harder-- the one that Jecht kinda gave me. There was a glint in the horizon, bright enough to see at this time at gust. I squinted and the light appeared closer, seeming to be coming right this way. "What the...?" It turned out to be a sea fiend or something of ome sort and I gasped so hard that my lungs took a sharp refill of cold air. "Auron!!" I scraemed, no use it came right ontop of the boat and it sank. The cold water waws colder than I could handle, it wasn't like the water in the sphere pool. My lungs ran out of air and I felt my body grow colder as I sank deeper into the waters down into the depths of darkness....This wasn't supposed to happen, never...It wouln't-- even on a time when it wouldn't be on a regular basis....
Author's note : I know that da excitng exciting stuff didn't really happen yet but wait until Yuna meets da others. That's when the good stuff happens. I'll try to update it as soon as I can...also it kinda depends po nyour guys review's. I'm really sure if to go on or not. Anyways, later days!
