Okay...... I'm doing my second chapter now.... hopefully it will be much longer...... but knowing me (I like to write shorter chapters.... but not as short as the last one) it won't be..... Anyways... just to tell you all, I haven't gotten this far into the game.... (because its my friend's and we play for a couple hours every other weekend...) soooo my knowledge .of this part is limited to the fanfics I've read.... soooooooo don't blame me if things are out of order... I'll try my best.... besides, things were going to be a bit different anyways since I added my characters....
Oooh almost forgot... when I wrote the first chapter... I totally did not see the similarity between Lulu's and Lu's names (Lu is a nickname for my friend)... So I'm changing it to Tamika.... soooo I'm sorry about that.... (I've also changed it in the first chapter)

"Ow, ow, ow!!" cried Tamika (A/N see top a/n), as she stubbed her toe for the millionth time. I smirk evilly. The others weren't in much better shape, as their hangovers made them very uncoordinated. They deserved the torture though, I had stayed up all night, and the only rewards I was getting for that, was my million and one ways of torturing Auron, and my companion's suffering. The latter had only one drawback. They complained constantly. At least I was positive that they wouldn't try to get into my margaritas again.
The trek to Guadosalam was taking too long, in my opinion. Apart from the fact that we were moving slower than snails. But since the three were finding walking straight difficult, tripping over anything that stuck up from the ground, and making a lot of noise, we seemed to be being attacked by every single fiend in the area.
Which only made my mood worse, considering I was the only one capable of fighting, without attacking one of the others.
"Ari" whined Cali, "Are we there yet?" for the billionth time. I glared at her.
"My head hurts," moaned Spits just before she walked into a tree. Sighing, I rolled my eyes.
Finally, we came around the last bend . Which resulted in Spits and Cali jumping around in joy, and somehow landing on the ground. Sighing I walked by them, heading for the main hall.
Guadosalam had an eerie feeling to it. Like we were being watched every step. But I would laugh if they thought our little group could cause any more trouble than a lot of noise. I entered the hotel to my right.
Inside, it was brightly light. With colourful tapestries decorating the walls. At the counter, I found out that we could buy weapons here. But, I decided to leave that until the next day. So I booked two rooms for the night. One for me, and one for them.
I left them to go to their room. Since I carried with me only what I need. I didn't need to put anything in the room. I wanted to explore this city before passing out on a bed. I wasn't sure if it was safe for us. There could be enemies lurking in any corner.
The feeling that I was being watched grew stronger with each step out of the hotel. And even though I really wanted to turn straight around and head back inside. I needed to find the local liquor store or bar to refill my jug.
After wandering around for a half an hour, I stumbled upon a place that looked a little run down. Since I was tired of finding nothing. I went in. Just expecting to be able to ask for directions.
Inside the atmosphere was very dank, even more so than outside. The lighting was dimmed. Whatever this place was, it wasn't much.
I approached what appeared to be the counter. The only real surface in the room. I could make out the shape of a Guado in the shadows behind it.
"Excuse me," I started, "But could you tell me if there is any place around here that I could buy alcohol?" The guado came forwards out of the shadows. He looked all oily and dirty. I had to refrain from wrinkling my nose.
"I have the only bar in this town." he replied. His voice got on my nerves. Normally, I would have gotten out right there and then. But I had been deprived of my special drink, and since I was travelling with the people I am with I needed one.
"One lime margarita," I demanded. Trying to look over the counter at the drink he was making. I didn't really think I could trust him.
"Well someone has a rare taste," a gruff voice came out of one of the shadows at the end of the counter. Auron seemed to materialize out of nowhere. I felt the blood rushing to my head. I was going to have to get really drunk, or Summoner Yuna was going to find one of her precious guardians strangled.
I accepted my drink from the dirty bartender. The drink was very expensive. Since I didn't have as much gill as I would have liked, I had to get him to fill up my bottle with some cheap liquor. I pointedly ignored Auron as I took a seat at one of the stools at the other end of the counter. Sipped my drink quietly.
I tried to appear deep in thought, and ignore the other guardian in the room. But in my head I was remembering all of my merciless ways of torturing him, over and over again. He laughed at something. I would be breathing fire right now if I was Ifrit. I could only take this torture, of being stuck in the same room with him and not able to stick full of holes, so much longer.
I paid the bartender for the alcohol he put in my jug. I stood, attaching the jug to my wrist. And was leaving when Auron stood.
"What do you want?" I demanded as I glared at him. I would have been glaring down at him, but he was taller than me. Damn heights.
"Nothing that you could give me." he replied in an emotionless voice. I turned on my heel, ready to storm out of here, when Auron grabbed my elbow. The door in the front opened. Emitting Seymour. All my annoyance at Auron dissolved as my hatred for Seymour took over. It was his fault I was here. His fault that I had to baby sit some girls who didn't know how to take care of themselves.
Seymour spotted us. He nodded in our direction, then went into a side door to the left. When he had exited the room, Auron dragged me out of there. He sensed that something or someone was going to get hurt very soon, if I had to stay longer.
Once outside the building. Surprise hit me. What was Maester Seymour doing in a run down place like that?

Yes, I know abrupt ending... but I have to get off now... because I have to go might come back and fix this..
