Hey, everyone. Here's my update. Things take on a whole different turn now and things will certianly get more exciting. Enjoy and don't forget to read and review.

Fear had grasped the very life of Rikku's heart, for there before her stood the dark figure wielding a very large knife. Rikku knew for certain that this was not good and her life was very well in danger. Who this creep was and what he was up to was something she did not know, but one thing she did know was that he meant business, serious business, and it was deadly at that.

Rikku backed up slowly, her heart pounding viciously within her chest. She looked around, however, strangly enough she did not see anyone near by. She looked to her right then to her left and just as she looked back at the dark figure she saw him strike at her. She squealed as she jumped backwards, causing him to miss. He growled out, angered at his failed attempt. Rikku then turned sharply and made a run for it, the dark figure close behind her. She ran down a dark alley way, turned a corner only to run down the other side. She could hear the footsteps of the figure behind her, too. It seemed the faster she ran the closer the footsteps got. Little did Rikku know of the small puddle of water that was just in front of her, for no sooner had she placed her foot in front of her, she slipped and fell to the ground with a hard thud. Rikku turned only to see the dark figure hovering over her.

Tears from total fright stung her eyes. "Please, don't kill me." Rikku begged.

The figure stepped forth. "The Fayth show you mercy on this night, my dear." He placed the knife back in its holster. "However, there is one of the unlucky that will suffer tonight." Rikku stood up and began to back away. "And you, my dear, shall deliver a message to the unlucky soul." Rikku backed away quickly, the figure approaching her. She kept backing out and didn't realize that she had stepped into the street when suddenly she saw lights, turned, and saw an on coming car. Rikku screamed, placing her hands before her just as the car slammed on its breaks. the car skidded towards Rikku and when it was just within inches of her it came to a dead halt.

"Rikku!" came a familiar voice. Rikku lowered her hands as she looked and saw Yuna running towards her and she sighed in relief. "Rikku, what in Yevon's name. . ."

"Yunie. . ." Rikku trailed off only to embrace her cousin. Rikku looked and saw that the figure was gone.

"What are you doing out here?!" Yuna asked as Tidus approached the two girls. "What happened?" Yuna slowly pulled away from Rikku. "You look of fright!"

Rikku looked around. "I awoke to find you not home. So, I drove around to look for you when some dark figure made me wreck." Yuna gasped. "Then the bastard tried to kill me."

"I knew it!" Yuna said. "Seymour IS alive!"

"What?!" Tidus shouted.

"No!" Rikku said loud enough to get everyone's attention. ""You're wrong, Yunie. That was not Seymour, but was someone more sinister than him."

A lock was broken, the door slowly creeping open. A sinister figure snaked its way into the house in search if a certain someone. The figure walked by the first available room only to look in and see the one person it had came for. He then reached into his pocket and from within withdrew a fairly large needle. He crept his way over to the bedside, looked down and saw Braska sleeping soundly. He then removed the cap from the needle and thrust it into the side of Braska's neck who awakened with a gasp. The strange liquid within the needle was slowly injected into Braska.

"Shhh." came a sinister voice. "Deep breaths, my lord." The figure grinned evilly. "Take slow, deep breaths. It will be less painful that way." He then removed the needle. Braska's breathing slowed very quickly, his eyes closing slowly and once the figure heard him take his last breath, he slowly walked away with a sinister chuckle.

Too frightened to go back to their home, Tidus not allowing them to go back to their home for one thing, Yuna and Rikku stayed with Tidus until things possibly settled down. The police was called and everything. Rikku's car was towed away and when Cid was furious when he found out, but was certainly glad that his little girl was safe and sound. Tidus turned in for the night, leaving Rikku and Yuna up to watch movies, Yuna, having her way as usual, was scaring Rikku out of her mind with scary movies.

"We have near death experiences tonight and here we are watching none other than scary movies." Rikku said with playful sarcasm in her voice and Yuna just giggled at her. "You know, Yunie, Tidus is in his room. . . all alone." Yuna shot her eyes straight at Rikku. "Why not go and keep him company?"

"Why?" Yuna asked with a raised eye brow. "So, you and Gippal will be in here all alone?" Rikku's eyes shot open wide. I know you called him, Rik. I'm not that dumb, you know!" She then took a bite of popcorn and a drink of her soda. "Besides, I had some alone time with him earlier." She then grinned when she saw Rikku's mouth drop open.

"And WHEN you were planning on telling me this?!" Rikku nearly squealed.

"Sometime in the near future." Yuna teased with an amused giggle. Rikku just narrowed her eyes at Yuna in a playful manner.

Rikku then smiled. "Well, go have some MORE alone time with him! Who knows? You might get lucky tonight, Yunie."

Yuna gasped. "Rikku!"

"Go on!" Rikku urged with a smile. "Yunie, go on!" Yuna just rolled her eyes and found herself heading upstairs to his room.

Upon reaching his room, Yuna eased the front door open to find Tidus laying in his bed facing the door. She eased her way inside, closing the door behind her as quietly as possible, but little did she know that Tidus had already heard her and was just laying there watching her.

"Get lost finding the guest room or did you get lonely?" Tidus teased

"I- -well. . .you see. . ." Yuna trailed off, her cheeks blushing a shade of crimson as she walked over to the side of the bed. Tidus just chuckled as he sat up in bed and threw the covers back.

"Care to join me?" Tidus asked a bit seductively. With a gracious smile, Yuna slid under the covers and cuddled next to him with her back turned towards him. Tidus tucked the covers in around them and held Yuna tightly next to him. Tidus found this very alluring and the temptation was setting in on both him and Yuna.

Yuna breathed deeply and very nervously, for she felt Tidus lower his hand a bit. His breath tickled the back of her neck where she felt him trace his lips along the way as well, leaving behind a trail of light kisses. She turned over and saw the look of seduction within his eyes, resting herself against her elbows while Tidus leaned against his elbow. They gazed into each others eyes and without a moment to spare their lips met in tender kiss, which deepened instantly. Neither could control the desire and the passion the held within. Yuna eased down onto the bed, wrapping her arms around Tidus who was now leaning over her. He continued to kiss her, allowing his left hand to roam freely, which was glided from her chest, down her belly where he began to touch her most intimate place. Tidus then trailed his kissed from her lips to the side of her neck, her breathing increasing.

Gippal arrived moments after Yuna went upstairs and didn't take him very long to seduce Rikku at all. They were now in the guest room where things were certainly heating up between them. Gippal placed heated, passionate kissed upon Rikku's lips who savored everyone she received from him. He trailed his kisses downward onto her chest. Both were moaning, their breathes deep and uneven, and their bodies moved together in perfect harmony. Gippal heard Rikku whisper his name and that only pleased him more, for he know he was satisfying her mind, body and soul.

Morning. . .

"THIS IS SHELINDA REPORTING TO YOU LIVE FROM BEVELLE WHERE THE MAESTER OF YEVON WAS FOUND DEAD THIS MORNING!!!" Shelinda shouted over wailing sirens. She tried to walk her way around in the hysteria as she gave her report. "THE CAUSE OF HIS DEMISE IS A TOTAL MYSTERY IN ITSELF. MANY HAVE CLAIMED TO HAVE SEEN LORD BRASKA JUST YESTERDAY IN WHAT SEEMED TO BE PERFECT HEALTH." She then saw Mika off in the distance and may her way over to him. "HERE WITH ME TODAY IS LORD MIKA, RECENT MAESTER OF YEVON." Mika turned to Shelinda. "LORD MIKA WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT LORD BRAKSA'S DEATH? WHAT IS TO BECOME OF YEVON? WHO IS TO WED YUNA NOW THAT SHE HAS INHERITED ALL OF YEVON?" Mika just shook his head with a shakey sigh.

Rikku rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she stumbled to the kitchen where Yuna was already up, had eaten breakfast and was now sipping on coffee while she read the morning paper. Rikku gave her an amused glare.

"Morning, sleepy head." Yuna said from behind her paper.

"Not funny, Yunie." Rikku said with a small yawn. She then looked in the sink and saw a plate full of pancake syrup. "Went overboard with the syrup again I see." She then looked at Yuna, a little annoyed that she was paying more attention to that paper. Rikku then bounced with a smile. "So. . . what are you and Tidus going to do this morning?" Yuna turned the page of the paper, ignoring her cousin with a secret smile. "Yunie." Yuna didn't respond. "Yuna!" Still no response. Rikku then walked over and jerked the paper out of her very annoying cousin's hands and tossed it aside. "I hate when you do things like that!"

"Well, I love it." Yuna teased.

Rikku shifted her weight over onto her left side, placing her hands upon her hips and cocking her head a bit in her usual manner. "And why is that?"

"Because you can't stand it!" Yuna teased only to stick her tongue out at Rikku and they both laughed.

Suddenly, several Bevelle guards beat on the front door and didn't give anyone time to respond, for they burst inside. A few priests then entered and found the one person they were looking for.

Yuna stood up. "What's wrong?"

"We're sorry, Lady Yuna, but you must come with us at once." the priest urged. "Lord Mika sent for you and you're needed in Bevelle immediately." Yuna didn't get the chance to even utter a sound, for she was grabbed by the guards and escorted out of Tidus' home.
