A/N: Aw! Still, you guys still are nice, after my oh-so-cheezy(once again) cliffhanger!! Sorry about this one thing though... I'm typing this SUPER fast, because I'm kinda-sorta grounded for not cleaning my room. It will be in play form until I get this typed correctly(Which will probably be before this is posted, but this comment will stand immortal for as long as this site stands). Ah, well, I type, and type I do... Ah, before I forget... A BINGO GOES TO THE LONE GUESS! Oh, and a last minute, heavy duty thank you to Sakura for that last review. I wasn't going to work on this tonight!

*WHIM TYPING WARNING.... MAKING DIALOGUE UP ON FLY.... WHIM TYPING WARNING....*

*QUICK FINISH UP ON THE PLOT... 2 MORE CHAPTERS*

*I THINK*

A.U.R.O.N

The man circled Auron, acting like he was going to attack he slid his foot forwards in the dirt, ready for action. "Alright, old man... give me that kid. That's all I ask of you."

Auron held his coat close to his chest, trying to reassure Emma. She was trembling. "Why?"

"She will plague you and all who accompany you till the day you die, unless she dies first." The main stated, pointing directly at Auron's free arm.

"AHH!" Emma screamed, and fled from the safety of Auron's coat. "LEAAAVE ME ALOOOOOOONE! I AM NOT A 'DEMON', AS YOU SO SUGGESTED EARLIER, AND I AM NOT OUT TO KILL THEM!" She walked up to him, and kicked him in a bad place. "GIVE ME MY EARRING, YOU BIG--!" Her words fell quiet to the sound of her foot kicking the downed man. A small, red arrow fell from the man's hand. "HEE! My earring!" She squealed, running back to Auron.

"Your.. earring?"

"Yes." She nodded, and they both trotted back to the campsite.

Rikku waved at the two as they neared the dimming campfire. "Hey! Wakka was about to tell more campfire stories!"

~*~

"So, what's the first one, Wakka?" Yuna leaned forward, trying to pull her marshmallow from the smoldering ash it was trapped in.

"It's called, The Legend of the 5-25 Woman!" Everyone stared blankly at him. Lulu sighed.

"The 5-25 Woman? What is that?"

"It's a scary story, ya?" He growled. "Eh, just let me tell it." He nodded to Lulu, and as if on cue, she doused out the fire, with everyone groaning about their now-wet marshmallows. He brought a small light to his face.

"Once, there was a wo- well, there was a girl... She seemed to age very quickly, and aged twenty years in 48 hours. She attacks the people who take pity upon her, and steals their youth."

"Ooh.." Rikku shuddered. "What happens to the people?"

"They grow old quickly too, ya? But, at a much quicker pace. They die in 5-25 hours, depending on their own age.." Rikku exhaled noisily.

"I don't wanna get old.." Everyone sighed.

"Then what happens?" Yuna looked at Wakka curiously.

"Well, the legend says, that the young girl will meet someone she can't take youth from. then, she will die herself." Auron stiffened.

(Author's quick note: I've gone brain-dead, so, QUICK FIX! BWWRRR!)

"Auron?" Emma looked up at the old man with the peppered hair. "I'm sorry."

"I know." He looked at her as the blood red earring in her hand. It was glowing. Auron stood to face the campfire. "Everyone, run. Get as far away from the fire as humanly possible." The area dimmed, and it was just a very adult looking Emma, and Auron, standing in what looked like a blitzball stadium..

God. I had NO IDEA I had not done an update to this is roughly three months. I'm so sorry to anyone that was waiting for this. I was kinda occupied with a Metal Gear story, and now I'm writing original fiction. PITY ME!! *cries and points to the reviewer thing*
