I own nothing except for the story line, all the characters, except for Lindsey so far, belong to Square Enix.

Here is chapter three, review and burn, a lot because personally me think this chapter sucks.

Chapter Three

They rode in silence though Yuna wanted to yell at him and tell him to mind his own business, but was afraid to discuss it while someone else could here them. She turned to look at him; he was looking out the window while his hand drummed on his leg. She turned back to the front with a sigh. After riding for what seemed like hours to Yuna, though only about five minutes to Tidus, they arrived beside her driveway. Tidus paid the taxi driver and then turned to Yuna who had gotten out of the car as soon as it had stopped. The taxi drove off, leaving the two in the darkness. Yuna looked up to Tidus, who was looking down at her as well.

"Ready?" He asked with a nervous smile. After the breakdown Yuna had earlier, he was a little nervous about defending her against her father.

Yuna shook her head. I should just tell him to leave. It's going to be bad enough going in alone, but if I bring someone else into it. Who knows what my dad will do...

"You need to…You need to leave," Yuna said strongly. "He's going to be mad enough when I walk in. I shouldn't have even told you anything." Yuna looked down at the ground. "I shouldn't have trusted you."

Yuna's POV

"Hey! If you hadn't trusted me, you could be dead for all you know!" He yelled at me. "Isn't how bad it is at home?

"So, you wouldn't have been involved!" I yelled back, tears threatening to fall. "He could kill you as soon as you walk in if you know what he does, think about your own life! Not mine!"

Tidus shook his head and grabbed my arm pulling me towards the door of my father's house. He knocked on the door a few times and then stepped back. I tore myself from his grip and immediately got behind him. He looked over his shoulder at me and smiled. He smiled, he could be killed, we could be killed, and he's smiling. He looks back towards the door as it opens revealing my father. Even from behind Tidus I could smell the alcohol in his breath. I took a step back, my mind is screaming at me to run, but as I begin to turn Tidus reaches for my hand and holds it as my father looks around at me.

"Ah so this is where you've been," He said with a smile, "Well thank you for bringing her home," he said with his usual fake kind tone. He talked like that whenever he was with me and was in public or someone had figured out I lived with him. He reached around Tidus and grabbed my arm pulling me over to where he was. I easily gave in, but then noticed Tidus was still holding my other arm, his eyes not taking their glare away from my father.

"Yuna, go inside, it's late," My father said, pushing me inside making Tidus lean forward. He gave Tidus a deathly look. "You may let go now."

"She's not staying here, she's coming with me," Tidus said pulling me over to him where he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "I know what you do to her, she's not staying with you."

"Wait a damn second," My father yelled as he pulled me over to him forcefully, "You told someone?"

"No…. No, h-he figured it o-out, I didn't mean…" I stuttered.

"You little…" He pushed me up against the door.

"Hey!" Tidus pushed him away from me. "Listen, I'll make a deal with you…"

"There aren't any deals to be made," he said with a laugh, "The only reason she's living with me, and she gets fed every once and a while is because I get her inheritance in a few months,"

I should have known, that was it, he kept me alive for my money that my mother had left in her will.

"That is the lowest thing I've ever heard of," Tidus said holding my hand. "Keeping your daughter alive just to have her inheritance?"

"It's really none of your business kid," He yelled at Tidus. "She's my daughter,"

"She's my friend and I care enough about her not to let her get hurt," Tidus said with a sigh.

"Now about that deal, you can let her come with me, or I can go tell the Yevonites about what you do to her."

My father laughed at Tidus as he pushed him and grabbed me.

"How about this, you can do whatever the hell you want with her when I've got her mom's money and then everybody's happy. And if you do tell the Yevonites, I'll kill her, which hands the money right into my wallet. Or I can keep her alive and get it and then hand her over to you," He said making the grip he had on my arm harder.

"If you kill her, you can't have the money either!" Tidus pointed out making a reach for me.

"Hey as long as she doesn't have the money I don't give a damn, she's lucky I'm letting her live," He said holding me up against the wall with his arm to my neck. "She doesn't even deserve to live, none the less get the money her mother entrusted to her after killing her, she got her mother killed! She should be dead, not Risa!."

I felt a tinge of guilt engulf my mind. It was just like I told Tidus, I deserve it. Tears fell from my eyes and down my face as Tidus shook his head.

"Yeah she does deserve to live and she will," Tidus shook his head again, he then smiled, mocking my father, "No more Yuna, you won't have to worry about him ever again."

Tidus pushed my father off of me and pushed him to the ground. He elbowed him in the jaw as he slammed his head down on the ground. He kicked him in the stomach and then punched him in the stomach as well, picked him up and then held him up against the wall like he had done me. My father managed to get Tidus across the jaw with his elbow. Tidus quickly recovered and he kneed him in the stomach and punched him across the face and then again in the nose. My father, he was knocked out and bleeding by the time Tidus was through. Tidus stood and grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house leaving my father on the ground. He turned to look at me.

Normal POV

Tidus faced Yuna with blood trickling down his jaw from where he had been punched by Yuna's father.

"Where's your room?" He asked panting.

"Downstairs," it was Yuna who now led Tidus to the kitchen and to the door to her room. She opened it and led Tidus down the stairs.

Her room was plain, in fact wasn't really even a room, just a bed and a dresser, with a door that led to the bathroom. She went over to the dresser and started pulling out clothes while Tidus gathered the things she had scattered around the room. He then looked around.

"Where's your computer?" Tidus asked looking around and then turning to Yuna.

"Under my bed, will you grab it please?" Yuna said looking for something to put her clothes in.

Yuna found an old suitcase and put all of her clothes in it. She grabbed anything else that would fit and put it in there. Tidus held her laptop and a small box Yuna had told him to grab. They were about to leave when Yuna gasped and dropped the suitcase. She ran over to the empty closet, or storage room that she had made into a closet, and went to the back. She pulled out a book bag and then tried to reach something on the shelf. Tidus watched finding a little humor in seeing her jump to reach whatever was up there. He sat down the laptop and box and went over to her. He reached up and pulled down what she had been jumping over.

It was a plush moogle, a bear with a pom pom over it's head and had a giant red nose with pink wings, with places that looked like it had been stitched up, and Yuna grabbed it from him as soon as he had it in her arms reach. He gave her a strange look, which she just returned with a smile. She picked up the bag and went back over to the suitcase; she picked it up and then began hauling it up the stairs. Tidus sighed and then went over and grabbed the laptop and box and followed Yuna up the stairs. They went through the kitchen and out the side door, Yuna turned to look at the house. Tidus came out and urged her to the sidewalk. They walked in silence for a while until Yuna spoke up.

"Where are we going?" Yuna asked with a sigh. "I'm hungry,"

"You should have ate the food at the café that I offered you," Tidus said walking down the street with Yuna following behind him.

"I figured I would be able to just go to sleep and then go eat breakfast at school," Yuna said as she looked up at the sky. "I hate their food, but like I had a choice."

"Well you do now," Tidus said to himself more so than Yuna, who he just gave a smile.

Tidus stopped as he saw a taxi driving towards them. He waved it down and they put all her stuff in the trunk and Tidus directed the driver to take them to the Lucan hotel. Yuna yawned as Tidus dug through his wallet. After a few minutes Yuna had fallen asleep, moogle in hand, and was lying on Tidus's shoulder making it difficult for him to move without waking her. When they got to the hotel, Tidus let Yuna lie in the seat while he paid the taxi driver to wait so he could just carry her upstairs. Tidus went to the front desk and got the key to the room he had already reserved and lugged all Yuna's things up to the room. He hurriedly rushed back down and got Yuna. He carried her to the room and lay her on the bed. He fixed him a spot on the floor considering he hadn't exactly planned to bring her with him, just to visit. He covered her up and then went over to her bags. He looked back over at her; she wore a smile and was tightly clutching her moogle. His curiosity got the better of him and suddenly started wondering about the story behind the small moogle. He shook his head and then moved all her stuff next to the bed. He glanced down at his arm and looked at the time, he sat his alarm for six o'clock tomorrow morning. He went over to where he had made him a place to sleep and lied down. He soon too, fell asleep. The last thought crossing his mind was Yuna, and how he was going to figure the situation out, how he was going to help her rebuild her life, with him.

See, told you it was bad. Anyway the next update will be either on Monday or Sunday if things go as planned. Bye, and remember to burn my mind with flaming reviews which i deserve. :
