That Day In Luca

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Final Fantasy X. By the way, sorry for lack of updates, but I've been in a rut writing wise, but I'm trying to update all my stories, so look out! ^_^ Roa is mine by the way.

CHAPTER FOUR



Roa woke up and the sun hit her eyes. She shielded them quickly, groaning as she felt the wound in her side. She rolled over to see she was still under a small covered area and saw Auron, sitting on a rather large rock, staring straight out across the fields of the highroad. Roa propped herself up on her elbows.

"Guess I'm a pain huh?" She asked, breaking the silence.

Auron didn't reply, but he turned to her.

"Sorry." She muttered, looking down at the ground and drawing pictures in the sand.

"No. . . I suppose I should thank you." Auron muttered.

Roa looked up at him, but he had turned his head, "Me? No. . . I almost got you killed." She said.

"You saved my life."

Roa fell back into silence, her side still hurting. Her hands clasped the necklace around her neck.

Stupid thing. Stupid thing. She cured to herself, letting her hands slide around it, before sitting up.

"Do you want me to go back to Luca? I wouldn't mind too." Roa said, tossing back her hair.

Auron was silent for a second, "No. You can come. You're wounded and getting to your home wouldn't be go for your slashes."

Roa didn't respond, just nodded.

Auron stood up and faced her, "Ready?" he asked.

He knew perhaps he should wait for her wounds to be OK, but he didn't have time to wait. Tidus and the others might already be in Guadosalam, and here he was still on the highroad. Roa stood up, holding her side for a brief second, and then putting her necklace back under her shirt. Auron didn't ask what it was. That would mean she could ask him a question in return, and he wasn't fond of questions. Auron walked on, Roa somewhat limping behind him. They walked in silence for a little while until night started to fall. Auron started to see Roa was becoming a little jumpy, always looking around her, and never quite settled.

"Is something wrong?" Auron asked her and she almost jumped twenty feet in the air.

"What?! No!!!! What made you asked that?! I'm fine!?" Roa asked, making it sound like a question.

"Just leave me out of your affairs." Auron replied curtly, walking on.



Well, isn't he nice. Roa thought to herself.

But Roa thought of herself as lucky. Here she was, with a bodyguard (though perhaps he didn't know it.) She was safe until she returned back to the Moonflow, where she hide out. Auron didn't know what a help she was being.

What a help indeed. He's saving my life, but has no clue. The thought swirled around a little.

It was obvious those monsters weren't from Sin. They were sent here to kill her, but first went after Auron. They were both lucky they had made it alive.

Constant fear I live in. Roa thought, walking closer to Auron.

Yes, constant fear. That was why Roa hated the night. The perfect time for them to get her. Roa shivered.

"Are you cold?" He asked.

No. I'm freaked out. They are watching me. I can feel it. Roa mused.

"Yes." She lied, not wanting to seem weak.

"You should have brought a sweater." Auron said.

Roa sighed, "Thanks for the help." She said.

Auron didn't reply.

"Can't we rest? Just a little?" Roa asked, glancing around.

"If you don't like this, then leave. I never said you had to stay until the end." Auron muttered to her.

Roa sighed and felt her necklace jangle around her neck.

Stupid thing. Stupid thing. She thought as she stared at Auron.

Auron didn't stare back.

"Are you ready?" "Yes of course." "Ready to attack?" "Yes." "Good. This time we need to make sure she never returns. And don't worry about the old guy. We almost killed him the last time." "Right, Master."



Roa didn't see the shot coming.
