There's Just Something About You...
That Pisses Me Off
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Final Fantasy X, or Simon R. Green's Nightside, my dolls are mine and I sold my soul for chocolate.
Tidus lived in a Post-War Zanarkand for seven years before Auron got him, he's not a dream, he's real. Shuyin's twin brother, and four years older than in the game.
Summary: "My whole existance is flawed, you kept me closer to God!" Closer and closer, but to what?

Mi-nnie Driver
... Huh?
Ignore me...
Okay!
Leslie lounged at the fifth-loop mark, dangling upside down off of Lord Mi'ihen's head and smoking a cigarette. The camp was set up, everything was fine... And she choked on her smoke as she saw a few Crusaders headed her way. Quickly she ditched the cigarette, in Mi'ihen's mouth, and slid off. Teleporting to the ground when she remembered that she was a good twenty feet in the air. She stumbled, landing on her stomach. "And this is why I have to teleport while crouched or standing up," She muttered, then she tilted her head, "And why Anashti usually takes over for teleports."
She hastily stood and dusted herself off. Saluting as they came into view. "Oh thank Yevon," The kid muttered, "I thought we'd have to go all the way to the half-mark tonight."
Leslie affected comically-confused, "When did we decide this?"
"Luca," Both Luzzu and Gatta called, as they unharnessed the Chocobo and manuvered the cage into the center.
"Yeah well, I've got company coming later. So don't attack any loud, obnoxious kids that come in without warning."
"'Kids'?" Luzzu asked, putting up spelled wards around the cage.
"Well..." Leslie mused, tethering the Chocobo, "Kids and Fems."
"Fems?" Gatta said nervously.
Leslie smirked, "Yeah, between Auron, Wakka and Tidus with all of their, 'No! Don't touch my clothes!', 'OmyYevon! Not my hair ya!' 'Hey! Like, don't mess with my accessories!'" Leslie squealed and whined in full-out Valley-girl mode, "And Ally and Tidus with their whining, "WHY does it have to be so looooong', 'How much longer?'. The group is full of Fems, Kids and Kimahri."
Gatta was rolling on the ground in hysterical laughter and Luzzu hid a grin behind his hand. "Hm... Well, concerning the Legendary Guardian... I don't think I've ever heard that take on him before."
"And you never will again if the Secretary knows what's good for her."
The three flinched and turnned. Auron tapped his shoulder with his sword and looked quite intimidating... If only Tidus wasn't rolling around on the ground in laughter with Ally. While Yuna and Lulu were trying to muffle laughter behind their hands...
As one, Leslie and Gatta both stood, and hid behind Luzzu. "Hey!"
"Well!" Leslie chirpped, nervously, "Y'all certainly got here rather quickly."

You have to get as much rest as possible during this trip. In fact! Go to sleep now! The Hunter was... Getting really annoying.
Leslie rolled her eyes. Wish you'd never found out what happens at Mi'ihen. She nodded briefly to Auron, who was on first watch, and second, and third, and fourth... "Gotta go, I felt something back there that I wanna check out."
"Again?"
"Yeah, can't sleep. It's been keeping me up."
"Too much will kill you. Then you would be useless on this journey."
Leslie snorted, "Don't worry, I'll pull-out before I hit that mark, see-ya."
Auron shook his head, and sat back as Kimahri came out to join him on watch. "She's never that careful."
"Kimahri thinks Leslie good girl."
"That's the problem."

Look up!
Rayne was practically swelling with hero-worship. Theresa exchanged a look with John and backed up to where the others were working on a new experiment. "What's the stitch?"
Mel gave her a wry look. "I am once again a virgin, and I'm hoping I don't have any pink fur in my Jellicle form."
"IIIIIIEEYAIIII! I CAN'T, CAN'T STOP SINGAAAAAHHHHAAAAHHHAAAHHNNNG! I CAN'T STOP SINGAHNG!" Ashia belted out Whitney Housten-style, a very unamused look on her face.
Theresa giggled, "Not to mention you're extremely tone-deaf."
"We know," Dani and Chris chorused.
Mia, a green, wispy-looking Mia, cocked an eyebrow, "If you can't tell by looking at me, you are officially BLIND!"
Gwen tugged at a pink bunny-ear, "Well, atleast my hair-color and my new ears don't clash..."
Dani's fingers brushed against the long, thin scales that replaced her hair. "I gettin' in touch wit' my Siren-side."
Chris pouted, crossing her legs and resting her head on her palm. "Why are we using human methods when we all revealed that most of us are not-quite-human?"
Everyone looked at the perpetually floating girl, even John and Rayne.
"You know?" Mel mused, "That's a good question."

In Spyro!
... We mean Spira...
Oh, eheh... Yeah...
Leslie crouched behind a crate, and silently cursed Anashti, thoroughly. Will you just help!?
The Fiend Hunter responded by sticking her nose in the air and ignoring her.
Leslie growled softly, and went through the tedious ritual of changing her clothes physically. Anashti pulled her own clothes from the ether. Leslie... Wasn't that lucky. She had to dig through her numerous Neg-Space bags (Negative Space - Alternate dimension holding pouches) and find an outfit that had, not only a long scarf for her hair, but a veil as well. Then, while being as silent as she could, she had to scramble into the outfit... And then exchange it once she realised that it wasn't the right color. Color-scheme was very important, because all of Anashti's outfits were in the same colors.
And people would start to talk if they saw the Maester's Secretary running around Spira doing things people thought only the Fiend Hunter could do. Something like... "Oh hey! I got it! The Secretary is the Hunter! Wait- WHAT!?" ... Not something she wanted to go through.
So, Leslie changed her clothes into a skirt and top, which she hated but was also something Anashti always wore, and tugged a scarf and veil on. She crept closer to what had been bugging her for hours...
"-NO! STOP! PLEASE!"
"NO! DADDY STOP! I'M SORRY!"
She froze upon hearing the child's voice. She pursed her lips and let her body drop softly to the ground. So they don't live at the house... She spied the man raising his hand again and quickly focused. Protect formed around the child. The man looked confused, and turnned angrily. "Who's there!"
Leslie smirked slightly, staying hidden. "You really shouldn't be hitting little kids... If it's one thing I hate it's a child abuser..."
"Oh yeah!? And what are you going to do about it? Huh?"
"... Son, close your eyes... You really shouldn't watch this..."
-...-
-...-
A single scream rang out through the night, cutting off just as abruptly.

"So," Leslie said cheerfully, "What's your name uvil?"
He was 9 she assumed, if you factor in the obvious malnutrition and hunger evident on the kid. He looked up a little shyly, "Kimut."
She tilted her head in thought while the kid went back to his sandwich. "Hmmm, let's call you KT. You know? I don't really know what to do with you?"
His lower lip trembled and he looked up at her with watery eyes. She sighed, "Well you certainly can't come with me kid, that would require you to know who I really am."
"I-I'm good at keeping secrets! Honest!"
Leslie knelt down and turnned Kimut's head towards her. "Kid, you barely know me."
"But you saved me... No one else did, though they all knew what daddy was doing..."
Leslie twitched behind her veil as his lower lip began to tremble again. "Travel with me a bit kid, I have another mission to finish tonight. At the end, we'll decide. But keep silent all right? If you get me caught you're going directly to a Vilumaw."
-----
Leslie and Kimut took a final glance back at Bevelle. "You know what kid? I've decided, you can stay. But don't tell anyone about me, understand?"
Kimut nodded, cheerfully, "Okay!"
Leslie shook her head and turnned down an alley, "Stay here, I have to change."
Kimut nodded, and looked around, staring at the city he'd never seen before. "Kay kid, let's get outta here."
Kimut nodded at the woman walking by, and then did a double-take. "Lady-!"
Leslie clapped a hand over his mouth. "Sh! We're still in Bevelle!"
Kimut gaped as the hand was taken away from his mouth, "You're the one who?"
Leslie smirked, "How else do you think the Hunter gets in? The Palace and the Maesters' home wards aren't gonna go off on me, I'm their Secretary."
"But you hate Yevon..."
"The religion sucks, the Maesters need to start tellin' the truth, but the benefits are a'okay!"

Rayne's asleep, Shhhh...
John shut off the DVD, "How long have you guys been watching this?"
Theresa blinked up at him blearily, "Hours. Hours and hours."
"'Cept for us," Mia whispered, trying to find a way to lie down in her new form. They didn't know if the side-effects were permenant or not yet. Oh God her sister was going to kill her if it was permenant.
Dani was sprawled out on the ground, using Chris's floating clothes for a pillow.
Gwen laughed softly, "I can't believe none of us thought to use our powers and talents."
Mel mewled lightly in her sleep, rolling over. Chris sighed, "Well, now that we know we can hopefully finish this quicker."
"Yeah," Ashia muttered, yawning, "G'night everyone."
"Night," The others chorused quietly.
Theresa went to her room and John carried his sister to her room before entering Leslie's and looking around. "Well," He muttered, "She said I could use it if I needed to."
With that, he stripped and collapsed in the bed.

AN:... Does anyone else feel that for Final Fantasy X-2 they just cut up Auron and spread him around?
Paine - Auron's attitude and status as warrior
Baralai - Auron's connection to Yevon, and try make that collar a tiny bit higher why don'tcha
Nooj - Auron's weak left arm and "habit" of wearing red
Gippal - Auron's missing left eye...
Well? Does anyone else feel like they just chopped him up and spread him around? Seriously.
