Chapter 14: General Chaos
Mattius2k04: So, that's it huh? Yuna and Tidus are now involved romantically. Squeeee! (Sorry Mariana, I just had to. . .) Everything gets better now, and more action is on it's way! The fighting tournament, a couple missions, and general fighting means more action for those aching for it! In the meantime, enjoy this semi-serious parody of one of Final Fantasy's lamest villains ever! Read and Review, and most importantly, enjoy!
When Yuna and Tidus re-entered the ballroom, they were different somehow. To every normal person who barely knew them, they were just another couple. Some people who knew of their personalities thought this as a strange occurrence, but to Wakka, Rikku, and perhaps even Lulu (who had eventually decided to come, for reasons unknown, to the party), the two seemed to just fit, like they made up the empty holes in each others lives.
However, not all were happy for Yuna and Tidus' new relationship. Hanging over the balcony, Seymour Guado gazed upon who he viewed as no more than "prey". He saw Tidus as a mere obstacle in his way to Yuna's heart. He wanted Yuna, and he thought he could get her, because most guys didn't seem to notice her. But when this, this TIDUS appeared, everything fucked up for Seymour. He wanted to kill Tidus, he wanted to destroy his life. He would wait. But for now, all he had to worry about was how he was going to get down the stairs while he was drunk.
He staggered down the stairs, passing people and muttering curses directed towards Tidus. He had brought in, smuggled actually, a canteen of alcohol. Unfortunately, the combined effects of Rikku completely ditching him and seeing Yuna with a different man were too much for him. He downed the canteen, and rather comically, was now completely smashed. He eventually made his way into the stairs, and noticed most people had gone home, leaving only a handful of stragglers.
Thankfully, Yuna and Tidus were still there. They sat on the floor, Yuna laying on Tidus' chest and his arms were over her shoulders.
*Get your dirty hands off of her, you filth! She should be mine!* Seymour thought furiously. He staggered forth a bit, and had attracted a small crowd which also had a couple security guards wary of his. . . smell.
Tidus noticed Seymour long before he reached them *Great, what now?* He wondered, readying his fists, having noticed Seymour's drunken staggers. *Stupid bastard got drunk at a dance?!* Seymour came within three meters of them, and pointed an accusing, clawed finger.
"Yuna will be MIIIIINNNNE!!!" Seymour cried, waves of the smell of licquor emanating from him. With this, he staggered around for a few steps before emitting a high pitched, shrill, girly laugh.
"I'sh cannot be defeated!" Seymour gasped as the two Balamb Garden Security Guards tried in vain to handcuff him. His sharp, whirling claws caught their open skin, leaving rather painful scratch marks. His oddly- shaped blue hair proved to be a deadly weapon also, for as Seymour flailed his head about, his hair caught one guard in the eye.
Eventually, Seymour became quite ecstatic, and screaming his high-pitched laugh, he dashed off, (and running quite like a little girl, save for the drunken staggers here and there, Tidus noticed) and his final words drifted back to them.
"I will deshtroy Shpira! Tee hee hee hee!"
He did not get far from him, as a whirling orange tornado crashed into him. Rikku leaped on top of him, pulling at his hair and biting his arms. Tidus noticed she was also quite drunk, as her movements were very uncoordinated. Regardless, she was very effective as she strangled Seymour, who began emitting a rather amusing, yet strange, throaty noise. She also made quite an impression on his heavily gelled hair, which splattered onto the floor like a slimy tentacle.
She yelled and kicked at him until the two guards pried her off, and a third and fourth guard subdued Seymour, placing him under arrest. Seymour shouted a bit more, but after a few seconds fell asleep on the cold floor, or so most thought judging by his loud snores.
"Well, that was. . . interesting." Yuna commented, after she and Tidus and broken into fits of sheer laughter at Seymour and Rikku's antics (but mostly Seymour making a general ass of himself). "Umm. . . We should go, it's getting late."
"Yeah," Tidus agreed. "Maybe we should go before Seymour wakes up, he might start stabbing people with his hair." Yuna laughed openly, and for the first time, Tidus noticed she didn't try to stifle herself. She really had a beautiful laugh.
"Hey! Ish my bestest friend Yunie!" Rikku squealed in drunken stupor. "Ish pasht my bedstimes, methinksh I should goes home!"
"Not so fast, little lady." Called one of the guards, grabbing her shoulder and turning her around. "Alcohol is not permitted here. You'll have to come with me." At this, Yuna sensed her time to act.
"No! Um, excuse me?" Yuna cried, running and catching the guard. "She didn't mean any harm, she probably just wanted to. . .umm have fun?" Yuna commented, which wasn't convincing. Tidus jumped in for his hand at making the guard let Rikku off (after all, it wasn't Rikku he was worried for, it was the guard who would have to deal with an angry Rikku. He sure didn't want to receive the same punishment as Seymour, he doubted the guard wanted to either. . .)
"Hey buddy, listen, if you let her go, we promise to take her home." Tidus assured the guard.
"Can't do that." Replied the guard. "Not allowed to let her go. Not my law." He was about to take her away when she keeled over and hit the floor, snoring loudly. "Oh Hyne, another sleeper."
"We promise to take her home, put her to sleep and lecture her!" Yuna defended. The guard gave way.
"Hmph. Yeah, fine, only if she stays away from any alcoholic beverages in any more school events. If I catch her, I will bring her to the proper authorities." Warned the guard.
"Jusht try it. . ." Rikku murmured.
"O-okay, it's time to go, Rikku!" Yuna cried, trying to cover Rikku's challenge. "Tidus, let's take her home!"
Tidus nodded, and while it did take the combined strength of Yuna and Tidus to keep Rikku from drunkenly charging the security, they did eventually get her out of the room. After that point, she began crying (as many drunken people do) without reason (as many drunken people do), and fell asleep on a bench. Tidus and Yuna were still holding hands, but they had to break their link so Tidus could heave Rikku along with them.
Eventually, they made their way to Yuna's dormitory, and there they deposited Rikku on her bed and conveniently left her a glass of water, a bucket (in case of an "accident", Yuna had said), and a couple painkillers and headache pills for her early morning use.
"Do you think she'll be okay..?" Yuna murmured to Tidus. She sat besides Rikku's bed as Tidus brought the sleeping woman some more supplies. Yuna brushed some strands of Rikku's orange and blonde hair from her pale face, and rubbed some smudged dirt off of her nose. Or at least she hoped it was dirt.
"She'll be fine, she's tough like me." Tidus reassured, thumping his chest jokingly. Yuna laughed for a second, but stopped. Tidus knew Yuna cared so much for her cousin, and probably most people she was close to, that she would never leave their side if they were suffering. He laid a comforting hand on her shoulder, and she looked back at him with warm eyes.
"Okay, then I guess we should leave her. . . leave her alone?" Yuna asked, a little unsure and, at the same time, still worrying about her cousin.
Tidus brought his arm around her shoulder and held her into him. "She'll be fine." Yuna smiled in reply, hugged him back, and then they went out into the living room so they could use every last moment of that precious night to spend with each other.
"You won't. . . you won't leave me, right?" Yuna asked Tidus. He could sense a hint of fear in her voice, but he knew she was trying to be strong by covering it up.
"I won't ever leave your life, Yuna. I promise." Tidus reassured. They had another moment of mutual acceptance, before they moved in close to each other, and Yuna once again laid on Tidus' chest. It was one hell of a night, to be sure.
