Decided to update soon since my sis kept bothering me 'bout it. Anyway, R&R more, ppl. I need more insight on this besides Anika.

(PoV 1st - Yuna)

"Nice to have you back, Yuna. Your absence was beginning to worry me." A gruff man said from the corner of the room.

I glare at Auron, balling my fists at my sides. "Yeah. I'm sure."

'Bitch thinks that since he's the leader of the hunters he can tell dumbasses around. Well, not me. I can protect my damn self. It's not like he was worried, anyway.'

"Hey, Yuna!"

I turn to my right, seeing where the voice had come from.

"Hey, Lenne." I say, walking to her as runs up to me.

"Where've you been? We had a meeting about..." She glances at the clock in my friend Gippal's bar. "... two hours ago." She finished, giving me a concerned look.

"Went around the city kicking some vamp ass, as usual." I lie, smirking slightly.

Lenne laughs and pats me on the shoulder, then places her hand on my back, leading me to her table. We sit down, each carrying on a conversation.

"Yunie!"

"Shit..." I curse under my breath as Lenne laughs again.

"What do you want, Rikku?"

My cousin runs up to me, bouncing around like usual.

"Where in Spira were you!"

"Around..." I sigh, shaking my head.

"Oh..." She says, sitting down beside Lenne. "Hey, Yunie, we had a meeting about --"

I push my chair back and stand, "Yeah, I'm aware." I walk out of the bar, leaving a very confused Rikku and a concerned Lenne behind.

I sigh, sitting down on the curb in front of the bar. The dark, damp streets of Bevelle were nothing new to me. I've lived here ever since my parents were killed in a vampire raid back in Besaid, twelve years ago.

It was unusually quiet tonight. The only sound that could be heard was the distant humming of machina. Bevelle was usually full of agonizing screams and gun shots, which I had become accustomed to through the past years.

I pull my legs up to my chest and set my chin on my knees. In a couple hours I would be leaving to see Tidus.

Tidus...

How or why we're so close, I'll never know. I'm not quite sure what made me spare his life that night. Maybe it was the way he locked his eyes with mine and begged me to listen. Maybe it was the way he stood, strong and brave, ready to accept his fate in which I would bestow upon him. Maybe it was the way he could've killed me, as well, but didn't.

Or maybe...

There's no doubt in my mind that he was extremely handsome. The way he looked at me and said he'd help me if I helped him was completely mind boggling. At that moment I didn't have anything else on my mind except one thing:

I wanted him.

Him saying he'd help me with something gave me a lot of unclean ideas. It was strange, as well. I've never really thought about anyone in that way, nor did I think I'd ever fall in love. But just seeing him gave me urges that I would soon stop.

Shaking my head as I snap out of my thoughts, I look around. Standing up, I slowly start walking. I wasn't sure where, I just wanted to find 'him'.

"He said you'd come."

I stop in my tracks immediately, looking behind me for the owner of the cold voice.

"You've come right to us."

I draw my gun quicker than I have ever before. I point it out in front of me, the voice coming from that way this time.

"Show yourself." I demand, becoming quite nervous.

"Now, now. Let's not be nervous, vampire hunter. Isn't it supposed to be us in fear of you?"

The street lights in front of me slowly burned out. One, after another. I look over my shoulder, seeing those behind me go out as well.

"No, not really." I reply, slowly starting to step back.

'I can't see shit.' I thought, changing my walk into a dead out run as I heard about ten pairs of footsteps behind me.

"Do not run, miss Yuna, it's not like you."

Their slow walking turned into fast running as they growled and hissed.

Placing my gun on my shoulder, I shoot a couple rounds behind me. I hear about three hit the ground and I smirk.

I hit the ground suddenly, groaning as my jaw comes in contact with the cement.

"There's no need to run." One of the vampires whispered into my ear. "Get the hell off me." My tone is cautious and deadly. "We mean you no harm." I narrow my brows in disgust as it starts to lick my neck.

"Get off of her, bitch. No one will touch her like that, ever."

'That voice... sounds... so familiar...' I thought, but soon after everything went black.

------------

(PoV 1st - Tidus)

"Come out here, sweetheart. Mommy wants to tell you something."

A young boy, about the age of seven, stepped out of the small house, located somewhere in Zanarkand. He walked up to his mother, quietly sitting on the ground.

"Your father is in the stadium waiting for you. Might want to hurry yourself there."

"Alright, Mom." He then ran off into the city. Alone.

---------

Jerking upward from the ground, I sigh in relief.

"Mother..." I mumble as I place my head into my hands in shame.

Standing up, I try to forget the dream - the nightmare -that I just had. It happened every night. And, from what I'm guessing, it'd probably never stop.

Swiftly and quietly stepping over my brothers and sisters, I exited the cave. This was always my favorite time at night. The time where I get to see Yuna.

I change my walk into a steady jog, nearing a darkened Bevelle street. I hesitate going down it, at alert of what had burned the street lights out.

"Get the hell off me."

Immediately, almost on instinct, my alert walk turns into a fast pace run. Nearing the place where the voice came from, I heard, "We mean you no harm."

I grit my teeth and clench my fists, knowing who's voice it belongs to.

I stop myself right in front of the two, three other vampires standing behind them.

"Get off of her, bitch. No one will touch her like that, ever."

The young vampire looked up at me, climbing off Yuna's back.

"What a surprise visit, Lord Tidus." He said, slightly bowing.

"What in the hell were you doing to Yuna? I swear, Vanish, if I find any bite marks, I will personally brand you and send you back to hell myself." I threaten, glaring at him.

"I did nothing to your girl, master." The seventeen-year-old said, smirking when he emphasized the words 'your girl'.

"And you're lucky you didn't." I kneel down beside Yuna, checking for any sign of a injury.

'Must've blacked out.' I thought, motioning for the others to move away. 'Seems wounded on her jaw line, as well.'

I stand, walking over to Vanish. "I told you to leave her alone. Next thing I know you're going after her."

"I was simply toying with her, sir." Vanish replied, crossing his arms across his chest.

Vanish has been my friend ever since I became a vampire, at fourteen. He's helped me through a lot... even though he's always been two years younger than me.

"I forgive you this time, Vanish, but it won't happen again, will it?"

"No, master."

All the vampires refer to me as 'master', being my father is the leader of them.

I shake my head and sigh, "Go back to the cave. And don't tell anyone about me meeting Yuna, understand? You and I are the only ones who know, so if you tell, it'll be obvious." I mumble to him where only he could hear me.

"Alright, Tidus. Sorry for disappointing you, sir."

He then walked away with his followers, disappearing out of view shortly.

"Yuna..." I whisper, kneeling down and placing a kiss on her forehead. Seeing that she wasn't going to respond, I pick her up.

I sigh, 'This may be the only time I get to hold her like this. May as well enjoy the moment.'

Pulling her closer to me, I softly place a kiss onto her warm lips. I smile, leaning down and whispering in her ear, "I love you."
