Author's Notes: Well, thanks again for the reviews, they're great so far, but all you people out there who are hoping for a Tidus/Yuna fic, uh…need I remind you I'm writing this for my best friend? Ahem, hence, she'd like Tidus to get together with HER. Lol, I think you guys forgot that. But don't worry, I've got it planned out, and it'll make all of you happy. She knows about it already, and I promise you it'll be okay. All of you will enjoy it, I hope, and I'm posting 2 chapters again because this one is only 2 pages, and the next one is 4. So I thought I'd just give you both like the last one. Please review again! I'm loving them! Something very, very crucial happens in this chapter, and I hope you like it, Lindz. Review as always!
You Were Mine
Chapter 6
Eyes Upon You
"I've sure enjoyed the rain
But I'm lookin forward to the sun
You have to feel the pain
When you lose the love you gave someone
I thought that now the time would take away these lonely tears
Hope you're doin fine all alone, where do I go from here?"
"Would you like paper or plastic for that?"
Lindsay Krycek couldn't help feeling uneasy as she worked the front station of her job. The woman buying groceries offered a kind smile, but it wasn't her that was making her unnerved. The whole surrounding of Besaid Grocery was silent, except for the occasional shopper coming in to buy milk and eggs. The squeaking of carts turning corners was not frequent, and from what she'd heard, unusual for the place.
"Have a nice day, and thanks for shopping," she said, giving the lady her plastic bags, change, and bidding her good-bye. Other various bleeps around the other open stations could be heard farther away, but she was used to it by now. Her break came in fifteen minutes, and she couldn't wait. Being in this store was making her stomach flop over, and she wished Tidus was there to make her feel more safe. He could always make her feel that way.
Ever since she'd met Tidus, on that sunny day at the beach, she knew he was a special guy. She had no idea what his part here was like, but had a feeling she'd find out soon enough. This Yuna girl seemed to be taking the fact that she and Tidus were together pretty harshly, and had probably thought she was in love with him before he left them.
Well sweetie, she thought with a grin. He's mine now. Looks like you'll just have to face the facts.
Noticing that it was only five minutes before her break, she rejoiced and turned off her illuminated sign, fumbling for the switch. She closed the door to the stand, and put the register on its locked mode. She would meet with Tidus for lunch in an hour, and she wanted to freshen up beforehand. She headed for the bathroom in the back, bringing along her case from underneath her stand.
Opening the door and seeing no one occupying the stalls, she approached the mirror. Unzipping the bag and listening to it reverberate in the empty restroom, she pulled her brush out and ran it through her blonde locks. Next she re-applied a little makeup, and took a final look before leaving. Now that she felt a little more appealing, she decided some fresh air sounded great.
The electronic doors swung open with a swish, and a breeze flew through her brushed hair, cooling her face in the process. She saw a vending machine nearby, and decided to grab a water while she took a break. It banged down in the slot after she dropped her money in, and twisted off the top in a joyful manner, taking a swig of it.
Sitting down on a bench in front of the grocery store, she watched a few birds pass in the sky, squawking as they went by. The city of Besaid was truly beautiful...much more so than the Zanarkand she was living in when she met Tidus. Fluffy white clouds covered sections of the sunlit sky, giving character to the brilliant blue color above. She was immersed in the beauty, reveling in the new wonder she'd missed for so long.
She never saw the kidnapper coming.
