Sighing softly as he left, I stood there watching him. There was something on the table there wasn't meant to be there, it was a tiny picture. I picked it up looking at what it might be. I recognised 1 people on it, Auron but…wait…who was the child. It hit me the child was Dylan, does that mean that, that he's Auron's son. Why did he leave that picture? Thousands of questions flooded through my brain. I needed to know, but I can't just go to Auron and ask him, and I don't know when I'd see Dylan again.

Grabbing my jacket I pulled it on, putting the picture into my top pocket so I don't crush it. I sprinted to the stadium I just made it, pulling my ticket out I easily found Yuna, Lulu, and Kimari although Auron wasn't there. I grinned as I sat down Yuna frowned at me.

"Auron was looking for you." She smiled "Aren't you staying?" I frowned slightly wondering what she was thinking of, and then it hit me.

"Oh um, im a bit cold." I smile wanting to hide the scratch I had gotten from the fight.

Nothing more was said about it, Auron joined us a few minutes after I arrived, he smiled at me something he never did, unless it was slaughtering something. Sitting next to me, he was watching the game, after about 2 minutes of frowning and staring at him, he turned to me.

"Is there something wrong Rikku?" I couldn't help but blush, shook my head looking at the game trying to get into it but something was bugging me. "If you say so." He knew I could be stubborn.

Half time came and I needed a drink, standing up I felt Auron follow me. "What's wrong with you today?" I frowned at him, whipping some sweat off my face. "Your too hot take your coat off." He pulled the shoulder of my jacket and I winced. I bit my lip looking at the floor. "What happened?" his stern voice compelled me to tell him the truth. Turning myself to look at him.

"I got into a little fight its nothing major." I smiled, "Well I was saving someone." I bit my lip again pulling the picture from my pocket. "This guy…" I showed him the picture blushing slightly wondering what he'd do now he's seen the picture.

He studied the picture for a few minutes, and I studied him.

"You've met Dylan I see." He tried to smile but couldn't. "Maybe I should tell you a few things about him." It was as if he seemed pushed.

"No." I smiled, "tell me when your ready." I giggling softly, he smiled 'I've always seen him as father figure, but…I don't know.'

"I'll tell you tonight, but whatever you're thinking he's my brother." I frowned looking at him and the picture, it hit me I could see it. I smiled blushing slightly.

The rest of the day went smoothly, they won so Wakka and Tidus were hyper. Then they went drinking I went with them but I wasn't in the mood to party. On the way back to the ship I was walking by myself just staring at the sky, the moon looking very bright this evening. I had made my first two mistakes, 1 walking to the ship on my own and 2 not paying attention to the area I had walked into.

I was still looking at the moon when I heard someone shouting, "That was the bitch that helped him escape." The next thing I knew three guys were jumping me, both my hands being held one by each guy and my hips held by the one in front of me. I bit my lip trying not to scream but I couldn't help it they startled me and totally disarmed me. I tried to kick but one guy behind me had already buy shackles onto my ankles I could barely move them. My arms behind my back where next not just my wrists but my elbows meaning my arms where nearly pulled from the sockets. I screamed in pain hoping to get someone's attention. But I was in a bad area most people didn't respond to screams because they didn't want to get involved. The guy who held her leg started to punch and kick her. "I was the guy your friend let go, I saw what you did. You killed my family." There was a sharp stinging pain in the side of my neck; everything was starting to go black at the edges, my legs turned into jelly.

Back on the ship a few hours later, Auron was sleeping somewhat peacefully when someone started to walk over to him. Sensing someone there he slowly draw his tiny dagger from under his pillow. The figure moved over him he could see hands moving to his throat. Sitting up quickly he pushed the blade into the neck of the figure.

"Geeze Auron you jump at everything. I was just going to wake you up." The voice was from someone he hadn't heard from in a while. Moving the dagger he turned the light on to see his brother, he was looking a little panicked.

"What's wrong?" although he was half asleep he knew something big must have been wrong. Sitting on the chair opposite Dylan pulled out something from his jacket.

"I was given this note about 20 minutes ago, I came straight here to see if it was true and it is." He looked at the floor looking actually sad but Auron could see right through his charade.

Taking the note he saw the words that chilled him to the core:

We have the blonde one, the one who rescued you. Now she will pay for your crimes, but we wont kill her no. We're going to sell her. She should make a profit.

Your friend. Mika.

"Where have they taken her?" Dylan didn't reply he still looked at the floor. Auron got up quickly dressing, turning back to him. "WHERE THE FUCK DID THEY TAKE HER?" He shouted at him, feeling a type of anger he had never felt before. He was slightly taken back by this.

"Mika, I know where his place is." Standing up he opened the door striding out confidently. Auron followed swiftly realising he was a good half a head shorter then his little brother. It only took then a few minutes to get to the entrance of what looked like a brothel.

"What type of person did you get yourself mixed up in?" Auron frowned at him.

"Spare me the big brother lecture you lost the right the minute you walked out on me." Opening the door to the brothel, he was greeted by a woman who half smiled and half frowned at him. "I didn't expect to see you back so soon." He walked straight past her to thru the door, Auron not know what to do, and he followed not saying a word. There was a heavy wooden door barring their way. Dylan kicked it squarely in the middle it didn't move an inch.

"Sometimes, you have be calm." Auron knocked on the door and it opened slightly Dylan kicked again making it open sharply. Grinning he saw the same fire in Dylan that was in him when he was younger when he left with Braska, when he had left Dylan.

A man in a long black coat greeted them he smiled; his red hair was tied upand about 5 ft 9 although Dylan dwarfed him it was obvious he was more powerful not physically but by the masses of men that stood behind him. For some reason he looked familure."I wondered when you where going to show up. If you're here for the auction your too late, I sold her. Well that's a lie, I decided not to sell her." He turned looking to the side there she was bound but her arms where tied at the front not behind, her ankles where too. She wasn't wearing her short skirt and bikini top that she was earlier. She had a small robe that just seemed to cover her. Bruises covered her arms and legs. "It's just a shame she hasn't woken up yet, I want her to enjoy her time with me, as much as was going to I with her."

It was Auron who jumped first trying to run towards the guy; Dylan grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back. Mika had already gotten his guy I pick Rikku up. "I wouldn't if I was you, I might just have to do something we'll both regret." He grinned sadistically as he walked over to Rikku who looked unconscious. He ran his hand through her hair, moving down to smell it. "Hmmm she smells like apples." He grinned.

I wasn't unconscious; I was biding my time waiting for that jerk to get closer. Being held up by one guy and having Mika smell her hair wasn't something she was enjoying but it was better then being beaten. While she was lying on the floor she had managed to get the lock on the cuff unlocked, something she had learned as a child. The jerk said her hair smelt like apples he was wrong.

"Its actually pineapple you idiot." She pulled her hands free grabbing his head bring it down on her knee. The guy tightened his grip on her trying to suffocate her. It was working she was gasping for air. Mika punched her it was more effective then the drugs and but it was more painful. She was dropped to the floor. Blacking out quickly, as Mika turned round he saw his men lay slain on the floor, both Dylan and Auron were out of breath, blood covered both of them. There stances where identical, except one had a blade and the other had daggers. The last two men of his charged them but it was useless, the both side stepped the men plunging their weapons into them as if it was nothing.

"I'll get him, you get her." Dylan suggested. As he started to move towards him.

"NO. I'll get her, he's your problem." He moved over to where Rikku lay now with a pool of blood round her where her nose was broken.

Dylan was already sizing up Mika, who looked half scared, hand to hand was not his thing.

"Go, I'll see you back at the ship." Dylan was circling slowly drawing the blonde guy to the other side of the room.

Taking his coat off Auron wrapped her in it, picking him up holding her closer to him moving towards the door. "Alright I'll see you back there." Quickly moving out the door towards the ship he heard a crash wondering how long it would take his brother to sort the guy out.

Dylan watched his brother go and smiled. Picking up a body of a dead guard he chucked it to the other side of the room. Whispering. "You are a genius, and he didn't even recognise you." Mika smiled, moving over to him, pulling him close kissing his lips softly.

"I should hope not, although im not sure about me pretending to be a guy. Its very hard to disguise myself." She grinned at him as she let her hair down. it falling to her waist in long red ringlets. "But going after the blonde, was there any reason?" Trying not to sound jealous as she pulled her long coat off revealing her voluptuous body.

Dylan grinned at her drinking in her image. "Yes. He's in love with her."
