(PoV 1st - Yuna)

I wince another time as I hear a agonizing cry for about the twentieth time upon just entering the rancid part of Bevelle.

'My friends are here...' I thought with some remorse. 'I always knew where they lived...' I take a quick look around. '... but now, with everything burning, right seems left and vice versa.'

I take a guess and go to my right, drawing and loading several rounds into my twin pistols while running through the distressed city streets.

I see a couple Yevonites to my left, and shortly after their attention turns to me, asking me to stop and turn back.

Ignoring their advice, I continue to make my way toward the center part of Bevelle.

Slowing my pace slightly, I hear a low, silent growl behind me. I look over my right shoulder somewhat, seeing the large, elder vampire following, or more like stalking, me.

"If I ask nicely, will you get your ugly ass out of my face and go back to hell?" I whisper, directing it toward the dumbass behind me.

After a moment, I sigh lightly. "Guess not. Well, then, I suppose we'll just have to play rough."

The elder vampire lunged forward as I turned around and back rolled out of the way, unloading rounds by the second during the process.

The vampire stood, bullets after bullets hitting it square in the chest. It just smirked as the bullet holes healed and disappeared, leaving it unharmed, not even a damn scratch.

'Very rough, then.'

I open a pocket inside my jacket on the left side and pull out my secret weapon I hardly ever use.

Getting a few feet ahead of it, I stop and turn around once more, standing in a cocky pose, smirking, while tossing my new weapon in my hands.

After it got about ten feet away, I give a light 'hmph' and press a button on the top of the weapon.

"Here, catch."

I throw it at the vampire, resulting in it sticking to it's chest.

It stopped momentarily, hearing the beeping of a small, red blinking light.

"I'll see you in hell, bitch." I turn swiftly, walking away from it as it got back up and jumped at me.

Pushing a small button on my glove at the palm, I hear a ear-splitting explosion behind me, being covered in ash shortly after.

I smirk, looking over my shoulder.

"I'll teach your race not to mess with me. I'm the devil's deliverer."

Taking a deep breath, I keep my pace steady as I continue to walk.

Nearing the entrance of the center of Bevelle, I see two young vampires standing on either side.

"Great, vamp guards. All the more action and suspense for me, I suppose." I mumble to myself, reloading my pistols.

They see and start sprinting toward me before I even get a chance to taunt them.

'I can always do that afterwards with this baby.'

Pulling my large, gold and silver bow from it's place on my back, I load a two-shot and smirk.

I give an innocent smile as I launch the arrows, one going to the left, the other right, but both hitting them in the chest, sending them off their feet and stuck to the nearby building.

They growled and hissed as they squirmed from their spot thirty feet above ground, tearing fiercely at the arrow embedded in their chest.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" I question, slightly laughing at my insanity.

I shoot another pair of arrows to make sure they'd stay in their prison as I walk toward them, staring up at the two vampires without pity.

"How's the view?" I ask them, smiling innocently again. "My father always said the view in

Northern Bevelle was beautiful at night. The stars overlooking the moon as it watches over the calm sea. He used to love this time of night.."

I feel my anger level rising with the thought of my father, and I continue in a low, deadly voice.

"That was before you took him from me." I load several arrows at a time, continuing to talk as I launch them all at them.

"That was before my happy past come to a dead end, before I sought out sweet revenge."

I load another four, casting a Firaga spell on the tips of them, making them light up in flames.

I look down the bow, taking aim for the final blow of their torture, at least from me.

"That was before you and your filth of a clansmen ruined my life."

I launch the four arrows, two hitting one's heart and the other two hitting the other's heart.

They burst into ashes, leaving their skeletons pinned to the wall. A welcoming site to any vampire hunter in this hell of a place.

Placing my bow back in it's proper place on my back, I walk into the center of Bevelle, stopping instantly.

I watch the scene unfold in front of me, my expression blank and lost. For the first time in my life since I was seven, I felt helpless, unable to help those who needed to be helped.

There were about thirty vampires, killing and feasting on the souls of the dead and unarmed bystanders.

But the thing that hurt me the most was seeing them feasting on my closest friends, and I wince as I see their son there, as well.

Looking at the bloodstained ground in front of me, I try to control my anger. This fierce kind of anger I haven't felt before until my parents' deaths.

"Yevon save my soul..."

Pulling my bow out once more, I nock a number of arrows, placing a impact grenade on the tip of each one.

I walk into the fray, taunting before firing.

"You take my parents from me. You almost take Tidus from me. You take my closest friends from me. Why not take my life to add to your collection, as well? I'm sorry, I must've forgotten. I'm to much for you."

Launching arrows at the four by the corpses of my friends, I watch them explode, smirking to myself.

As a result, the extremely loud sound and the vibration of the ground made all the vampires turn to look at me.

I hesitate for a moment, but soon recover and start launching arrow after arrow into them.

They all rush toward me, some exploding into ash as my arrow comes in contact with them.

Not expecting to be reached so soon, I fall backwards, one of them trying desperately to attack me.

Holding it off with my left arm, I draw my pistol with my right, placing the barrel to it's skull as I end it's life once more.

By now, there was no escaping. I was surrounded, each of them staring down at me coldly.

I smirk, "I wouldn't be staring at me like that, dipshits."

A form I couldn't quite make out landed behind them, and for some reason all the vampires dropped dead. Or so I hoped.

"Yuna... Are you okay?"

My heart skips a beat when I hear the young man's voice.

I stand immediately, throwing myself into Tidus's arms.

Praising him. Thanking him. Embracing him. Kissing him. Loving him.

"Are you okay?" He asks again, wrapping his arms around my waist protectively.

"They killed them... They killed Wakka, Lulu, and their son. What family do I have left..." I cried into his neck, my emotional barrier finally coming down.

"Shhhhhh... It'll all be okay, Yuna. Don't cry." He whispers, running his hands along my back.

"I missed you so much..." I say softly, once again feeling whole, complete, and safe in his embrace.

"I missed you, too, Yuna. But I'm here, now."

"I love you." I say, beginning to calm down as I slowly start to kiss his neck.

I see Tidus smile and reply, "I love you, too. Always and forever."

(PoV 1st - Tidus)

"You'd think we'd be there by now." I hear Anika complain from behind me as I and my companions near the bridge leading to the Northern section.

"You'd think you'd grow up and be more mature about it by now." Vanish says back to her, hearing Anika take a swing at him but missing when Vanish ducked.

After crossing the bridge, I see three more Yevonites on guard.

Motioning for Vanish and Anika to stay in their position, I scale the building, getting just above the Yevonites.

I draw two blades, sending them down to crash into two of their skulls. I then jump down, landing on my final enemy and inserting the blade on the back of my foot wear into his stomach.

After beckoning for my companions to follow again, we continue down the crazed Bevellian street.

"What the... Whoa..." I say, seeing one of our elder vampire's ashes scattered every which where. Kneeling, I pick up some of the ash, figuring I'd give it a proper burial later.

"Damn... Hunters, maybe?" Anika asks, eyes wide.

"No, not hunters, but a hunter."

I continue on my way, spotting two hanging, decomposing skeletons on the right side building of the entrance to North Bevelle.

I ignore it, but my friends look upon it in fear, and I sigh.

"Don't worry. Nothing I can't handle." I smirk.

I stop upon hearing a young woman's voice, very familiar.

'That's her...' I hear multiple growls and I curse under my breath. 'No...'

"Why not take my life to add to your collection, as well? I'm sorry, I must've forgotten. I'm to much for you."

Quicker than I have ever done before, I sprint to my left, going down a damp alleyway. I near a steel, broken down ladder and begin my way up, almost falling backwards in my haste.

I reach the top of the old two-story building and run to the edge, looking down at my clansmen.

I hear Anika and Vanish running up behind me and I look over my shoulder at them, giving them a mocking smirk.

I jump off the roof of the building, hearing Anika gasp when she saw me.

I land silently behind the vampires surrounding Yuna, crossing my arms.

"Dudk." I say in our clan's own language, motioning my hand to the ground.

All the young vampires dropped to the ground, being paralyzed until my command. Knowing if they even tried breaking free of my orders it would lead to certain death.

"Yuna... Are you okay?" I ask, looking down at her beautiful form with a worried expression.

She stood quickly and forced herself into my embrace, trying to get as close to me as possible.

"Are you okay?" I question once more, sighing in relief when I feel her place her head onto my shoulder.

"They killed them..." I heard her whisper, beginning to cry which makes my cold, broken heart sink even more. "They killed Wakka, Lulu, and their son... What family do I have left..."

"Shhhhh... It'll be okay, Yuna. Don't cry." I begin to glide my hands over her back, trying to relax her somewhat.

"I missed you so much..." She sighed, relaxing me, as well, when her warm breath hit my neck.

"I missed you, too, Yuna. But I'm here, now."

"I love you." She whispered, placing warm and feverish kisses along my neck.

I moan slightly and sigh, smiling. "I love you, too. Always and forever."

"Well, well, well. What's goin' on here?"

Yuna and I turn to see Anika with her hands on her hips, a mischievous smirk on her young features. Vanish was simply standing behind her, giving me a grateful smile.

"Piss off, Anika." I say with humor in my tone.

We all laugh, though Yuna is somewhat hesitant, being that she is still upset about her friend's deaths.

"Relax, baby. Everything'll be just fine." I whisper into her ear as I place a quick kiss on her cheek.

She looks up at me and smiles slightly. " I believe you."

A/N: Dudk is pronounced do-aid-ka. Just thought I'd inform you 'bout that.
