NOTE: Guess what?! I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! Okay. Guess what else? No one's flamed me yet! ^ __ ^! But with saying that I just know I'll get one now. - _ -;; I finally resumed finishing my story. Kinda. Well, a chapter anyway. Yeah. And YAY for admitted perverts! *laughs* I love people. o_O I am taking advice and going to.. Well, you'll see. Anyway, on to the tale! *pointage*

The sound of several footsteps crunching the leaves underneath was deafening in the quiet evening surroundings. Not a word was uttered, not a thought spoken out loud, not an idea shared. They walked swiftly, none daring to speak to another. The events of the past day still lingered on all their minds. Finally, the young Al Bhed decided to break the eerie silence.

"So. . . We're off to Guado Salaam then, huh?" She questioned, turning and walking backwards to face the rest of the group. "What makes you think he'd be there?"

"Because he is a Guado, after all. And besides, where else would he take Tidus? Especially if he's going to do what I think he's going to do." Lulu arched her brow, as if daring another to ask what she meant.

"Kimahri thinks he'd be there too."

"Okay, okay. So the vote is against me." Rikku pouted and turned back the correct way, making sure not to gracefully trip over anything in her path.

Auron walked silently. He averted his gaze to the sky, watching the sun set in its colorful background, and the stars begin to show themselves. //Worried? Indeed. But I will find him.// He shook his head. "Hey! Aurry!"

He blinked, and faced where the call had come from. Rikku had stationed herself in the middle of the path, her hands brought up to her face, cupping her mouth to double the sound of her voice. "Come on! Let's go!" He nodded and quickened his pace, hand resting protectively on the hilt of his blade.

Meanwhile, after much roaming around, Tidus had managed to find a room that just happened to be unlocked. When he had stepped inside to have a look around, the bed seemed as though it had beckoned him to lay on it. So, naturally, he did, and dozed off.

Now the Half-Guado could be found walking quietly down the hallway towards that same room. He smiled slowly as he envisioned what he would do. He reached the door, and held out a hand to turn the knob. As he swung the door open, he found the kid snoring lightly. "Wake up, little one."

Tidus mumbled something and rolled over. Seymour tried again to wake him. "Come on, beautiful boy."

Tidus opened his blue eyes a crack, focusing on the older man. "Seymour . . .?" He sat up and rubbed his eye with a hand, the blanket falling around him, revealing that he was only in his boxers. Seymour grinned.

"Yes. I have come to play."

The young Blitzer wasn't fully awake yet, so he didn't care much for talk right now. "What do you want?" He asked, a hint of annoyance resting in his voice.

"I told you." He walked up and sat at the edge of the bed, resting a hand on Tidus' leg. The teenager jumped at that. "Of course, if you do not want it, I will leave."

Tidus was very confused. Seymour was giving him a choice? "Well. . . I think that's an easy answer for ya." He rubbed the back of his head, keeping his eyes from locking with the Half-Guado's.

"But, if you do choose not to, then I am afraid that will keep you from eating. I do control everything around here, you know." He raised his fingers up to his mouth, as though he was teasing Tidus.

Tidus narrowed his eyes, growling slightly. "Auron and the others will come for me soon. I bet you on that."

Seymour laughed. "That is if they manage to find this place, and then manage to make it in with all my guards I have stationed around."

"They will! They wouldn't leave me."

"Oh?" Seymour questioned. "Well, I am afraid until then, I will enjoy myself." He smiled, and began to run his fingers up the boy's legs. Tidus twitched and shoved Seymour away from him. Seymour again laughed. He reached behind his back and pulled out a long chain. "Don't make me use this. . ."

Rikku stomped her foot and came to an abrupt stop. "Can we please rest here? I'm tired of this endless search."

Auron turned towards her. "It is not endless. Look, Guado Salaam isn't even that far from now."

"So? Look at they sky! Normal people are sleeping at this time!"

Wakka sneered. "But you, of all people, aren't normal, eh?"

Rikku glared. "Quiet you."

Auron sighed. "You guys take far too many rests." With that, he stooped near a rather large tree, resting his katana near it. "Fine, we stop here."

Yuna smiled. "Good, I have to admit, I was tired as well."

Wakka plopped down underneath another tree. "Got it."
