Going Home

Over the next week, the group spent more time trying to understand the Japanese culture and explore the city instead of arguing and fighting over the new couples in the house. Today was their last day in Japan, their plane was leaving early the next morning…

Auron quickly ended his conversation on the hotel phone as Rikku stepped into the bedroom they were sharing.

"Uh oh…who ya talkin to?" Rikku asked plopping down on the bed. She wore tan capris and a light pink shirt with a white kitten on it. The hotel beds were so low to the ground you had to squat first then plop down on them.

Auron straightened his red shirt collar and cleared his throat. "I was just ordering some room service…" he smirked. Bedroom service…

Yuna was putting all her make up back into its suitcase bag along with her other accessories. She wore a pair of plain jeans with a white belt and a plain white mid sleeved shirt. Seymour sat on his bed watching her; it was only him and her in the bedroom. He wore just his black pants. She felt his eyes burning into her, but didn't think she could handle eye contact with him right now. Does he ever wear a shirt?!

Lulu, Wakka, and Tidus were watching Japanese Television in the living room with completely confused expressions on their faces. Wakka's looking the most confused as he added a "huh?" after each sentence.

Someone knocked at their door. Auron shot out of the bedroom as if a bomb was sitting in there with 1 second left. He pulled the door open and there stood Megumi. She had a suitcase with her.

"I want to thank you so much for bringing me to America with you." She said grinning and giggling slightly.

Auron scratched his head. I guess the Japanese don't understand American sarcasm.

"What?!" Lulu asked from the couch. "Auron?"

He shot her a dirty look then turned back to Megumi. "You're very welcome." She grinned again.

Back in the bedroom….

Seymour stood up from the bed and slowly walked up behind Yuna who was now standing in front of the small closet everyone was sharing.

"Yuna, I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear. She jumped slightly and turned to face him. He looked down at her and lifted her chin with his long fingers so that she'd look at him.

"Seymour, please. I'm with Tidus now, this stuff can't happen anymore." She said grabbing his fingers and removing them from her face. She turned her back to him and continued looking for her stuff in the closet. Seymour chuckled and gently placed his hands on her waist. She sent an elbow into his gut.

"Stop it!" she hissed taking a few items and walking back to her suitcase on the bed. Seymour rubbed the sore spot for a second then followed her again. He gripped her shoulders roughly in his large hands and pulled her back against him.

"Yuna, you know how I feel about you." He mumbled softly while placing short kisses all over her neck. Lulu's way too easy. I like this challenge.

"Seymour, get off of me!" she yelled loudly. Purposely trying to get the rest of the crew attention through the thin walls. He reluctantly let go of her shoulders and backed away from her.

"As you wish, Yuna, but this isn't over. It'll never be over." He whispered walking towards the door. Ever.

What a creep. And to think I actually liked him. Yuna rolled her eyes and continued packing her stuff. Tidus entered the room and wrapped his arms around her from behind. She jumped again slightly, but calmed down when she smelled the familiar sent of Tidus' cologne.

"Scare ya?" he asked laughing.

"No, I thought you were Seymour. He's been really trying to get me to go back with him again." She said sighing and turning to Tidus. He smirked.

"All we have to do is get him to hit me again, then he'll be gone. We'll never have to worry about seeing him again." Tidus said zipping up her full suitcase for her. Or maybe we should jump him and go home together.

"Well, no I don't think its that serious, but I am sort of scared of him sometimes." She said sighing. Tidus kissed her cheek kept his arm around her.

The group spent the day taking in as much more Tokyo as possible then went to bed early so they could catch their plane on time. Rikku and Tidus seemed to be getting along very well that day, which upset Yuna. She and Tidus were still up talking in the kitchen while everyone else was in bed. Seymour listened to their conversation while lying in bed.

"I..uh think I kinda love you Yuna." Tidus said putting his hands on hers. He sat across the table gazing into her eyes. She blushed a deep red and looked down at her hands as she took them away.

Seymour clenched his teeth together tightly repressing a growl. Her response was nothing but a light mumble of words he couldn't hear. This made him even angrier. But instead of busting into the kitchen like he wanted to so badly, he closed his eyes and tried his best to drown out their conversation and go to sleep.

The next morning…..

Everyone rushed around the small guest house trying to get themselves ready to go. Auron, with Megumi by his side, stood at the door yelling just like they were at home. They had decided last night as they were talking, that she would only come to America for a visit. Seymour had Rikku quickly braid his hair. Lulu had to go today without her make up, Yuna and Tidus never got a chance to get dressed, and Wakka was pushed out the door still half sleep.

"Work's gonna suck!" Tidus yelled as soon as the door to their Las Vegas home was opened. "I hate being a freakin janitor!"

"Quit whining." Auron said in a low voice. Tidus turned to him with an odd look on his face. He just sounded like my father.

Even though it was getting late and everyone was tired, the crew still decided to stay up and have a few drinks amongst themselves. Rikku giggled as she walked into the room. She slowly crept up behind Tidus and yanked his pants down around his ankles. He let out a monkey screech and started chasing her around the house. Yuna crossed her arms and frowned as she watched the two running around and Tidus as he grabbed her arm and pinned her against the wall. Of course they were just wrestling and acting stupid, but she still didn't like it. She felt a hand rest on her shoulder. Seymour… she thought not even looking up at him.

"Brownie?" he asked holding the plate out in front of her. She rolled her eyes and snatched one off the plate. He set the plate on the table and stood in the door way of the kitchen beside Yuna, eating a brownie himself. "Look at them." He said quietly.

Yuna sighed. "It doesn't mean anything, they're just playing around." That's what better be going on! Rikku tripped Tidus then fell with him as the two now rolled around on the floor trying to pin one another for more than three seconds.

He leaned down and whispered into her ear. "Keep telling yourself that." He walked out of the kitchen and into the hallway where Yuna watched him kiss Lulu on the lips. She rolled her eyes and threw the rest of her brownie in the trash. Lulu stepped into the kitchen to see frowning with her arms crossed.

"Rikku after your man again?" she asked smirking slightly while grabbing a small bag of carrots out of the fridge.

Yuna frowned. Lulu's really been a bitch lately. "No, but yours continues to chase after me." She snapped.

"Oh? Tell me something I don't know." Lulu said sitting down at the table. That just means you're going to have to keep running.

"Hmph well I wouldn't want someone who's chasing after another woman." Yuna said turning towards the doorway. Seymour stood in the doorway looking down at her. Their eyes met and she pushed past him almost tripping over the two bodies lying in the floor.

"God, Tidus what are you doing?!" She yelled looking down at him and Rikku.

"Sorry, babe." He said standing up and trying to take her in his arms. She pushed away from him and went into the leopard bedroom.

"What'd you do to her Seymour!?" Tidus asked pointing his finger at Seymour who stood there looking completely confused.

"I did nothing." He said smirking slightly. "Maybe it's what you're doing. Brownie?" He asked holding out the plate with four brownies left on the plate.

"Ooo!! I want one!" Rikku grabbed the plate away from him and stood on her tip toes as she tried to kiss his cheek, but was still inches from his skin.

Tidus went into the leopard bedroom to see what was wrong with Yuna, but the door was locked and she wouldn't answer.

The next Chapter with be called. THE LIAR, THE CHEATER, AND THE PLAYER.
