Anguish in the Night

NOTE: Still don't own anything. 'Cept my text. Also, sorry this chapter took so long, I hope I haven't lost any readers out there, *Searches* I've been really lazy lately. Seems I don't finish a lot of my FanFic, *Sweat drop* ^_^;; I finally got a PS2 of my own!! I am playing FFX like mad now! *Shakes fist* I am again reminded of how annoying Seymour's voice was. \ _ /

"Auron!!" Tidus cried. He slid slowly to the hard floor, eyes glazed over with tears. His gloved fist hit the ground. "Auron. . ."
Seymour smiled a grin of satisfaction, pleased by the results his actions have gotten him. "He cannot hear you, stupid boy." He shook his head, blue hair waving.
Tidus refused to believe that the Guardian was frozen for good. "Lulu, can't you melt the ice with a fire spell or something?" He asked, his voice desperate, pleading with the Black Mage.
Lulu closed her eyes. "I am afraid I cannot, for I fear of getting too close. Seymour's magic is not normal." She brought her hands up to her hips, resting them on the seams of her dress.
"Please!!" The young blonde again begged. His vision returned back to the frozen statue of Auron. "Auron. . ."
Seymour stepped forward. "I am getting tired of waiting." He again raised his arm, long sleeve swinging with the slight weight of the decorative accessories rested upon it. "Come, Anima, I summon thee."
The ground started to rumble and shake as pieces of the floor dropped out from under them. Screams were heard from the lower levels of the Inn. Wakka's eyes widened. "Dat t'ing's not a normal Aeon, ya?" He brought up his Blitzball, poised for action.
Lulu too, readied herself. "It's the strongest there is, I believe."
Wakka narrowed his black eyes. "I don' care, Seymour ain't gettin' Tidus if I can help it."
Seymour laughed, though it seemed more like a giggle coming from his sauntering voice. "You actually think you can fight my Aeon?" He brushed aside his bang, only to have it fall back into place. "This shall be interesting to see."
Yuna gasped. "I can summon too, if it is needed." She looked to Lulu and Kimahri for guidance, not quite sure of how to handle the matter at hand.
Kimahri simply grunted and shook his head, taking his spear into a strong and steady grip. Lulu shook her head.
Tidus scrambled to get up to his feet, and eyed all of the people/Ronso ready to protect him. They were doing that for him?
//You're going to cry now aren't you. //
Tidus shook his head. "You guys! You don't have to do this! It's what got Auron like. . ." His voiced trailed off.
Wakka blinked at the young teenager. "I don' care! I'm ready to do anyt'ing for you, ya?" He took a small step, eyes watching the great Aeon in front of him. The last thing he would allow was for Tidus, of all people, to be taken away by this Half Guado. He spat. "Even if it means I do risk my life, eh?"
Tidus spread his arms in front of him. "Wakka!" He was at a loss of words, and knew anyway, no matter how much talking and pleading he did, it wouldn't change the other man's mind.
Seymour flicked his wrist, and Anima attacked. The ground shook beneath them, the walls and ceiling starting to fall among the group. Raising their arms to protect their face, Wakka protested.
"Dis is cheap, ya?!" He grimaced as a piece of the roof barely missed his head.
A sudden, strong grasp latched onto Tidus' shoulder, pulling him away from the others. Another hand went over his mouth, and Seymour stepped back behind his Aeon, with the kid in his grasp. He ran his now free hand down Tidus' waist, and came to a stop on one of the buckles on his shorts.
The teenager's eyes widened and he bit down hard. "Wakka!!" He screamed out when the Guado recoiled in pain. "Wakka, help!"
Seymour narrowed his eyes, and then merely laughed. "Come, we are leaving." He hit the boy hard, rendering him unconscious. He turned and disappeared into the smoke and rubble, and Anima followed soon after.
Wakka threw his Blitzball into the ground, watching it bounce away. "Damn it! Tidus!" He growled, and stared off into where they had left. Lulu walked up and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Wakka. . ." She eyed him, her red eye piercing into his own. "We're not going to leave Tidus there to torture to death. Come, let's go."
Rikku protested. "But what about Aurry?" She turned to gaze at the figure, frozen in ice. It still held strong, not even melting slightly. The sight made tears form at the corner of her eyes.
Lulu stopped and faced Rikku. "Good point. Now that the chaos with Seymour is over, I can attempt to thaw him, though I cannot guarantee his health."
"You mean, he may have suffocated?" Rikku pondered, small fists balled at her sides.
Lulu shook her head. Obviously Rikku was not aware of what Auron was. The mage ignored her though, and bent over Auron, beginning to work on melting the ice.
Yuna stood silently, watching the area where Seymour had taken the energetic kid, as if she was awaiting them to return sometime soon. Her staff was held out in front of her skirt, both hands holding a relaxed grip.
Auron fell to the floor with a mere "Unh." Rikku turned quickly to see if he was alright, and a soft smile played upon her lips when he got up and dusted his red kimono off. She ran to him and helped him up.
". . . Where's Tidus?" Auron asked, his amber colored eye searching the destroyed room. "Is he. . ."
"With Seymour." Lulu finished. Auron glanced up at her sharply. "He got away with him, after he summoned Anima on us. There was not much we could have done."
Auron glared. "Why are we waiting then?" He asked, to no one in particular.
Rikku looked at him. "Do you love him?"
Auron sauntered, he was not expecting this kind of a question. Was it that obvious? Had he shown his emotions freely instead of hiding them as he had for many years before? He grunted, and looked away. Shrugging off Rikku's hold and her question, he stood to his full height. "Let's go."
Rikku blinked. Her heart ached for an answer; she wanted to know if she even had a chance. She decided to let it be for the time being, though, and followed the rest of the group as they headed after Auron.
"Any idea where we are headed, ya?" Wakka questioned.
"He is a Guado, after all. Perhaps he's in his hometown."

Seymour stepped forward and tossed Tidus to the hard, marble floor. The boy groaned and rolled over onto his side. "Get up."
Tidus opened his eyes slightly, and pushed himself up onto his elbows. He looked into his reflection in the clean tile, barely visible in the poor light from several small torches on the dark walls, and looked up to focus on the blue-haired man towering above him. "Seymour. . .?"
Seymour chuckled. "Yes, my little one." He reached down and grasped the collar of the boy's hooded shirt, pulling him up to his feet. "You are now here, therefore are now mine." He emphasized the last word, as if Tidus was an item to bargain over.
The young blonde narrowed his blue eyes. "What exactly do you plan to do to me?" He demanded, grasping Seymour's wrists in an effort to get him to release his grip.
"I only plan to make you my love slave." Seymour stated quite bluntly.
Tidus blinked, trying to make his mind understand what he was just told. "Love. . . slave?"
Seymour did not reply to the last question, but instead pulled the boy's chin in closer to his own, and pressed his lips against the softer, sweeter ones.
Tidus' eyes widened, this was the third time he had been kissed tonight. //What is it with people?!// He thought to himself. When he felt the older man's tongue begging for entry, forcing him to part and open up, he shoved back with his hands hard. Seymour broke the kiss and stepped back.
"I wish you goodnight then, beautiful boy." He performed the Yevon bow, turned, and walked off leaving Tidus standing alone in the empty room, wiping his mouth with the back of his glove. Seymour's footsteps echoed, and faded quickly as his figure shrank smaller and smaller down the hallway, until it disappeared entirely. Tidus shook his head.
"Where the heck am I supposed to go?!"
