Author's Note: Okay so this is my second story and my first Final Fantasy 9 story so please don't flame. I would like reviews cuz I love to hear what the readers have to say.
I own Daemon and Luna, Square Enix owns Final Fantasy
P.S. This is after the game and the whole big battle at the end. Everyone is still the same ages though.
Luna's POV
My brother and I have been traveling all over Gaia looking for help. I can't remember much of our home village, it was destroyed 12 years ago, when I was 5 and my brother was 6. He never left my side, he was always there for me when I needed him most. Right now we are traveling through the region of Alexandria, I can even see the castle from where we are. I look over at my brother, who's focused on the path in font of us watching out for monsters. "Daemon? Are we going to stop in town?" He looked over at me, thinking about it for a minute before answering me, "Yes, maybe for a couple of days. But no more than that if not maybe less." I nodded that I understood and focused ahead of us and realized how much closer to the front gate we were. He seemed to notice as well.
No POV
The two teens stopped in front of the gate when the guards stepped forward. The one to the left spoke first "Names? And what are you doing here?" The boy replied, "My name is Daemon and this is my younger sister, Luna. We are simple travelers and we would like to stay at an inn here, if that's alright." The guard looked the two over before letting out a small grunt of approval "Alright pen the gate and let them in." the other guard ran back and began to crank the gate open. Daemon gave a small nod of appreciation and motioned for his sister to follow him and he walked into the city.
As they walked through the city streets, Luna seemed entranced by all the beautiful buildings they passed by. Daemon looked over at his sister chuckling as he saw her reaction to the sights of the city, he had never taken her into any of the big cities they had passed by only the small country villages. She smiled at him and pointed at a building "Is that the inn?" He looked over at the building and realized that it was indeed the inn. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into the building. They walked up to the counter where the inn keeper looked up, "Can I help you two?" Daemon nodded his head "Yes we need a two bed room please." The old man nodded his head and dug around in a small box before pulling out a key and handed it to them. "Here's your room key, its room number 12. You can pay when your stay is over." the two nodded and said their thank yous before going up to the room.
Daemon's POV
We walked into the room looking around. It was fairly nice accommodations, the beds were sturdy, decorations were pleasant looking. I looked over at Luna who had put down her pack and slipped off her coat. "Luna, we need to talk. We can't keep traveling like this, trying to run away from our pasts, from who we are, what we are. It's not possible and you know that as well as I." She looked over at me smiling sadly, eyes that were once so full of joy and life, were so full of sorrow, pain, and agony "I know, I've always known we wouldn't be able to run forever." I sighed knowing how hard this was on her. "don't worry about it Luna we'll find a way to cope. We always have, we will adapt to survive." I tried to muster up a good enough of an encouraging smile. She smiled weakly back at me before laying down on the bed with her back to me. I let out a small defeated sigh. This was going to be long couple of days.
No POV
At the castle Garnet was rushing around the castle Eiko, Ruby and Beatrix following her. Garnet stopped "Zidane if you and the guys don't come out here right now your going to be in big trouble." In their hiding spot the guys looked at each other. The ones that were there were Vivi, Zidane Blank, Steiner, Marcus, and Cinna. Zidane sighed "C'mon guys we may as well get this over with." They all nodded and sighed in agreement, just knowing they might regret this later. They stepped out and Garnet smiled "Well there you are. Its really not that bad you guys, all you have to do is tel us which dress you like better on us." With that the girls dragged them off to help them pick out dresses.
Later in the evening
Daemon and Luna were walking towards the ticket checker. They had two tickets to see My Canary at the castle, which they had checked to make sure they weren't fakes. They got to the booth handed in their tickets which the man took and and checked handing them back and allowing them through. Daemon smiled as they sat down and found a seat. They sat and watched the play, Luna giggling, crying and getting extremely into the play. When it was over they were headed out but something caught Luna's eye, a silver haired actress. She smiled they had close enough seats that once everyone cleared out she could just walk over the seats, which she did. Her eyes wee lit up in fascination as she looked at the stage. The silver haired girl smiled at the girl "Can I help you shuga'?" Luna looked up and blushed "Oh I'm sorry its just that this is the first time I've seen a play and I just wanted to say I loved your acting." the woman smiled "Well thanks darlin, my names Ruby whats yours?" The girl smiled widely "It's Lunaria, but most people call me Luna and that's my brother Daemon." Ruby looked over both of them. The girl had platinum blonde hair that stopped and inch below her chest, bright amber eyes, and all she wore was a simple white spaghetti strap dress and a pair of sandals. Her brother had short, mussy dark gold blonde hair, bold baby blue eyes and wore a pair of pants, boots and a jacket but no shirt leaving his well chiseled body fairly visible. "Well its a pleasure to meet ya'. What brings ya'll here?" Luna seemed uneasy about the question and Daemon jumped over the seats to stand next to his sister, "Nothing really just travelers." he gave her a small smile before leading his sister away from the stage and out of sight.
Even while the others were talking about what a success the play had been, Ruby seemed focused on something else. Garnet looked at her female friend, "Is everything okay Ruby? You seem a little out of it." She looked over at the queen, "Oh I'm fine hun, I just met a couple of odd people who caught my interest. They aren't what they seem, I think maybe there's something about them that's different, really different." Blank rolled his eyes, "Maybe their just from out of town is all." Ruby shook her head. Zidane suddenly thought of an idea, "What if we do a little research and find out where they're staying. Maybe if we get into their room when they're not around we can find something." Now normally the others would have disagreed but everyone was in agreement. "Alright then we'll start tomorrow morning.
