Hey, everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, lotsof school shit to do. By the way, I feel I should address this to you all before something happens. If something is left out or the words run together, it's not my fault, it's the site's. I've looked over my own copies and they're correct. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

A/N: Okay, this chappie's kinda sad. Sorry for any mistakes. I'm trying to go back and correct them all. I've been in a rush lately. Anyway, as always, R&R everyone!

(PoV 1st - Yuna)

'Yevon forbid if I ever get out of here...'

It's been two days since Gippal left. Two days since I've seen anyone. Two weeks and two days since I've seen... 'him'...

Both my mind and body ached from being away from him. I found myself longing for his touch more than anything else. I need him, he's like air to me. Without him I can't breathe, can't work properly. And right now is when I needed him the most.

"Miss Yuna Lorac?"

I turn my gaze to the door, seeing the nurse, I give her a cold glare.

"Um... I believe you're being released today, ma'am."

I suddenly become happy and sit up straight, nodding and replying with 'damn straight'.

After the nurse leaves, I sigh and lay back down on the bed, closing my eyes. In a couple hours I'll get to see Tidus, again.

That thought alone, made it all worth while.

"Right this way, ma'am." The doctor says to me as he escorts me through the damned halls of the Bevelle Hospital.

Once we get to the lobby, I take a seat in one of the chairs, filling out a release form.

I look up from my papers quickly when the front doors swing open, a woman running in.

"Please..." I hear her beg, trying to catch her breath as she stood at the front desk. "You must help us. The northern part of Bevelle is under a heavy vampire raid. My son is lost, my husband has vanished. Please..."

I immediately stand, dropping the forms and running out the front doors.

'I have friends there.' I think, "borrowing" someone's motorcycle that was parked out in front. 'Well, more like the only family I have left. I will not fail them.' Turning swiftly, I head down the road leading to North Bevelle.

Panic hits me, then. The whole side if the road going into the northern section was completely empty. I was the only one. To my left the road was full of traffic and noise. I could see about five results of wrecks here and there. And I turn my head to the right as I hear a loud honking sound followed by a huge crash.

'This is crazy...' I thought, looking ahead of me to see the northern part of the city lit up in flames. 'Completely crazy...'

(PoV 1st - Tidus)

"You must not, father. They haven't harmed us."

"Yeah, and if I don't stop those damned hunters, we'll be the next thing to harmed. Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

"I won't allow it." I say, stepping in front of him.

He looks upon me in disgust, pushing me back slightly. "Have you forgot your damn heritage, boy? You're not protecting a certain mortal, are you?"

I don't reply, just continue to glare coldly at him.

"I have no mercy on backstabbers. You go against us, we go against you and you're no longer welcome among us." He pushes past me, hitting my shoulder with his somewhat.

I sigh, never understanding him, my own father. I look to the ground, kicking the dirt with the tip of my boot.

"What'd he say, Ti?"

I look up and shake my head. "Anything but helpful, as usual."

Vanish laughs lightly, placing his left hand on Anika's right shoulder. "Whatever you do," He says, "we're with you all the way."

I smile and thank my friend. I turn around, walking up a somewhat steep hill, stopping at the top. It overlooked Bevelle's northern section, the more "high-class" people were here. A great place for any vampire raid.

"This was all so sudden. So unplanned." I say, crossing my arms as I watched over the city.

"Yeah. But I've heard your leader..."

Anika stops in mid-sentence as Vanish gives her a strange look and I look over my shoulder at her.

"I've heard that our leader," She continues, correcting herself. "is known for sloppy planning."

I smirk and look at the city once more, not yet in terror. "Hmph, more or less."

'I've got to warn her.' I thought, remembering the one I missed so. 'I've got to keep her safe.'

I nod, turning swiftly and between my two friends at a fast pace.

"And where do you think you're going?" Anika asks me as she faces my back and places her hands on her hips.

"Vampire hunting."

I see her jaw nearly drop and Vanish gives me a doubtful look. "No way, Ti." He says, shaking his head. "This is the only home we've got, best to keep it."

"Home or not, I will keep her safe."

Understanding hits him and he smiles. "Well," I see a very confused look on Anika's face and I lightly laugh. "in that case, I'm all for it."

After a moment, when no one said anything, Vanish lightly nudged Anika in the side, keeping his gaze on me.

"Oh, uh, yeah. Me, too."

I laugh, turning to them. "Let's gather up on supplies and shit before we do anything. Be the smartest thing to do."

They nod, following me back to the main cave's entrance as mid-night slowly came into place.

About two hours later, my friends and I were well prepared for what was to come.

I was wearing the same thing I was the other night with Yuna. My thighs being lined with different kinds of blades.

Vanish wore a dark green armor suit, silver was every which where. He had black belts stretched across his breast plate. His dark green hair was somewhat shaved on top, coming down in a point between his eyes and stopping at his chin.

As for Anika, she decided to keep her regular clothes. Which is tight, black leather pants, a matching black tank top, and black boots, with black gloves becoming ratty with use. Her somewhat long black, reddish jacket swayed gently in the wind as she turned in circles, a gesture of showing off.

I smirk. She reminded me so much of Yuna. Beautiful, young, smart, always getting into trouble, and had the cockiest attitude. Only difference between the two was Anika's deep blonde hair and her piercing blue eyes. While Yuna had light brown hair with unique, but still beautiful, mis-matched eyes of blue and green.

"Alright. Let's go into the city and face the hunters."

"What!"

I laugh, "If we drop our weapons and swear them no harm, they shouldn't do much."

"Hmph. Much, huh?" I hear Anika mumble to herself and I smirk.

"I don't know, Ti." Vanish objected, crossing his arms.

"Either way, we're seeing the hunters. We can either go to the northern part of the city, since that's were you came from, right Anika?"

She nods, "I was a hunter, as well. I could probably convince them that I'm not a vampire and get you guys through."

"Or we can go to the eastern part, since I have a friend there that could help." I state, waiting for their response.

"I know how you miss your girl, my friend, let's go eastern." Vanish said smiling.

I smirk lightly and remember what one of my fellow clan mates told me earlier before.

"There is no love in our world. Our life is filled with pain and sorrow." She had said, gazing at me coldly.

"You forget I'm not full vampire, then." I had shot back, more or less upset that the one person I had come to trust turned against me.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I walk to my right and follow a path that leads out of the woods and into the eastern half of the city. Vanish and Anika following afterwards.

"I know where I'm going."

"Bullshit!"

"I've been here millions of times."

"You're getting us lost."

"I am not."

"Yes, you are."

"Whatever."

"We're gonna be trapped and ambushed by hunters. What then?"

"Then they've made my job easier."

Anika sighs as she gives up her one-sided fight, half glaring at Vanish for not helping her. He simply laughs in response.

"Be swift and quick and everything'll be fine." I say, pointing to two Warrior Monks who were on their daily patrol. They're known for their bloody and unmerciful ways in battle, so keeping clear of them would be wise.

I over my shoulder to my friends and beckon them to follow me.

Jumping onto the building on my right, I scale the wall. I then jump backwards, swing from a random flag pole, and land on the balcony of "8 Ball's", my friend's bar.

Looking down from my position, I see the monks completely clueless of me, but nearing Anika and Vanish.

Vanish quickly followed me through, but as soon as Anika got half way up the wall, she fell backwards.

"Shit.." I curse under my breath as I see her fall onto one of the monks.

They load their weapons and point them at her, resulting Vanish to draw his blade, jump down from the balcony (three stories up, mind you), and land onto one of them, driving his blade through the monk's skull.

Anika smirked as she pointed her gun out and shot blindly.

After she opened her eyes again, she stared at the fallen warrior in front of her, his deep red blood seeping under her boots.

"Hah! Got one!" She proclaims cheerfully and taking a cocky pose I've seen Yuna do many times before, resulting for me to roll my eyes.

Vanish shakes his head and pulls his and my blade out from our victims, "Way to waste ammo."

"What..."

Vanish smiles and sighs, making his way back up to me. Returning my blade back to it's proper place, Vanish and I wait for Anika to make a few attempts up.

After about five failed tries, she finally succeeded.

"And you said I'd get us caught?"

She lightly smirks at my comment and looks away, crossing her arms. "Aha.. Whatever."

Smirking, I turn and enter the bar, the two assumed-to-be lovers following behind me. "Well, I see this place has changed." I say, looking down at the bar tender.

"Say what?"

"Do you ever shut the hell up, Anika?" I ask her quietly, looking back at her.

She shakes her head and walks beside me.

"Have you seen Yunie, Lenne? I thought she was supposed to be back from the hospital by now."

"No, I haven't seen her. Best we go look."

I stare down at the two young women talking, my presence unnoticed to them.

"Hunters?" Vanish asks me in a hushed manner.

I nod, continuing to watch them.

"But first, we must--"

"Thank Yevon, the hunters!"

I see the two young women stand immediately, running over to the injured man.

"What happened, sir?"

"Vampire... North Bevelle..." He said breathlessly before collapsing to the ground.

"No..." I say under my breath, turning and going out onto the balcony once more. I jump off, Vanish and Anika doing the same shortly after.

'I've got to save Yuna.' I thought, something telling me that's where she was.

I sprint toward Northern Bevelle. I wasn't sure what I was going to do once I got there, but I had to do something. For Yuna.
