"I hate you, Tidus, I never want to see you again!" Yuna screamed,
and with that, slammed the bedroom door shut as she retreated from his
home, Tidus paced a bit then hollared at the door,
"Yeah, well, I hate you too, you stupid bitch! I hope you rot in Hell!" he grabbed the edge of the bedside table and flipped it, smashing the lamp residing on it into pieces . . .
(later) "Tidus, just relax, okay?" Squall Leonhart asked with a slight annoyance in his tone, he watched him sitting in the arm chair from his own seat behind the piano. Tidus was sprawled out in the chair, his hands gripping the arms harshly.
"Squall, you don't understand, I just can't believe her! She has the NERVE to tell ME that SHE hates ME... she's such a fucking bitch!" he ranted again, Squall just shook his head and slid around so he was facing the piano again.
"Just forget about her, man, it's not worth getting worked up about. Just close your eyes, breathe in the garden air, and listen to this song. It may help calm you down, I don't need my best friend having a heart attack, okay?" he chuckled, turning a few pages of the sheet music and reading the first few notes to jog his memory. Tidus sighed and reluctantly closed his eyes, taking a deep breath and then letting it out, Squall glanced over and smiled, the sun poured in from the open glass door leading down to the gardens, lighting Tidus' face. He didn't notice it until then, but Tidus was a very handsome guy.
'Wait, what am I thinking???' He shook his head, looking down and beginning to play, hitting a few pedals down below to produce chime, flute, and harp- like sounds, seeing as it was a custom-made piano with harp, chime, flute, and piano functions.
Tidus felt almost instantly relaxed, like he was slipping away into another, peaceful place, he opened his eyes to watch Squall for a moment when a thought popped into his head.
'Wow... Squall is kinda hot... WHAT?? What the hell am I doing!?!' Tidus closed his eyes again, dismissing the thought from his mind, concentrating on the music being played . . .
Tidus lay on his stomach on his bed later that day, nose buried in a book, the dusk descending on the sky outside his open window. A pair of eyes peeked through the window at him, then the figure of a man with black angel wings appeared, the being sat on the sill and cleared his throat, causing Tidus to look up.
"Wha-!?! Who are you!?!" he shouted, the creature folded his arms and pulled one knee up towards his chest.
"I'm a demon, my name is Auriel. I come to you in your time of need to offer you a gift." Auriel said suavely, pushing his black and brown hair away from his face as Tidus jumped off the bed and stood facing the window.
"A gift?" he asked skeptically, the demon nodded his head.
"Yes, a gift. I can give you all the power in the world, but in turn, you must give me something." Auriel purred mysteriously, Tidus cocked his head.
"What do you want in return?" he raised an eyebrow, the demon's lips flared into a vicious smile.
"Your heart. if I give you these great powers, you cannot fall in love. if you do, your powers will be taken away. simple as that." Auriel watched the boy's expressions, Tidus laughed.
"I can have powers and all I have to do is not fall in love? Hah, it's a deal then, Auriel." He held out his hand for the demon to shake, Auriel grinned and grasped it firmly.
"Excellent choice, sir. welcome to the dark side." Tidus raised an eyebrow.
"Dark side? What?" he asked, but it was too late, an electric change shot through Auriel and into Tidus through their hand shake, an explosion was heard and he fell to the floor, complete darkness ensued . . .
(later) Squall walked towards the door after hearing the door bell ring, he opened it and was surprised to see Yuna standing there, looking worried.
"Yuna? Are you alright?" he side stepped to allow her inside, shutting the door after her, she shook her head and wrapped her arms around herself.
"No. I'm fine, but." she trailed off, Squall put a hand on her shoulder.
"What is it?" he asked, she looked up at him.
"It's Tidus." . . .
(later) His hair blew back past his face as Squall eased the powder blue Convertible onto the freeway, speeding towards Tidus' home, Yuna sitting beside him.
"I went over to his place this morning to get some of my things, and his whole house was changed, there was a castle and he was wearing dark silk clothes and, everything was just different. Even him, I know he hates me but he was just. evil." Yuna frowned worriedly as Squall turned and slipped onto the dirt road leading up to Tidus' place, he looked up as he approached the dwelling and saw what she was talking about. Where a house once was stood a large, dark castle.
"What the f. . ." he started, but his voice faded as a figure emerged from the front doors, arms crossed and glaring menacingly at them.
"I told you, you wench, that if you returned I'd have you killed!" Tidus' dark tone made Yuna gasp, Squall took her hand and they both jumped out of the car, he stepped forwards toward his odd acting friend.
"Tidus? What's happened here? What's wrong with you!?!" he asked in bewilderment, the blonde narrowed his eyes. Auriel appeared from the doors and walked up beside Tidus, his beating heart in his clawed hand.
"What have you done to my friend!?!" Squall snarled, the demon chuckled and put the heart in a pouch on his side.
"I've made a deal with him, 'tis all. now please leave, you are not wanted here!" Auriel hissed, walking back inside, Tidus glared at them both and snapped his fingers.
"No, please STAY A WHILE." he shouted, and in a flash horrid beasts appeared from in between the trees, surrounding Squall and Yuna. Squall looked at her, acting on instinct.
"Get in the car and go! Get out of here, Yuna!" he pushed her towards the car, she got in and hesitated.
"But Squall! What about you?!?" she whined.
"Just go!" he growled, watching as Yuna spun the car around and sped down the dirt road, he turned around just as two weretigers took him by the arms and dragged him towards the castle. Tidus had disappeared inside, Squall noticed, before he was hit over the head with a club and dragged inside . . .
"What do you plan to do with him, Sir?" one weretiger asked, Tidus swallowed some wine and grinned.
"Perhaps torture him, I don't know. Now that I have power, I don't need friends, companions could cost me my dominance. Understand?" he asked sternly, his audience nodded.
"Yes, Dark Hunter." . . .
Squall had been locked in the same dungeon for nearly a year, only able to live while the Dark Hunter thrived on wickedness and evil deeds. Tidus had grown only too accustomed to killing innocent people, and doing anything to get what he wanted. But some fleeting in the back of his mind tugged at his memory, and his heart. Auriel often had to remind him that if he ever felt love again, any kind, that his powers would be lost forever. Tidus never thought that an old friend could trigger new passions, but boy, was he wrong. ..
"Yeah, well, I hate you too, you stupid bitch! I hope you rot in Hell!" he grabbed the edge of the bedside table and flipped it, smashing the lamp residing on it into pieces . . .
