A/N: Sorry you guys! I didn't get really any reviews for a while until I got a few in the last week… For some reason this chapter didn't turn out as well as I hope but I had to write something, I hope that you like it! I've been busy so that's why I haven't updated but I can't abandon you guys so here's the next chapter! Don't forget to review
Tidis felt paranoid the entire day. Even though he tried to forget about the Guado and enjoy himself.
Rikku came bouncing into Tides' room. "Tides! Why the heck are you lying down on your bed? We're supposed to be partying and having fun!" When Tides didn't answer Rikku sighed and went to get Yuna. When she found Yuna she sent him in to talk to Tides.
Yuna sat down next to Tides and gently put a hand on his shoulder. "Tides? Are you feeling ok?"
Tides sat up and smiled weakly at her. "I'm fine… I've just been thinking about something."
Yuna looked concerned as she leaned her head to the side and looked at him. "About what?"
Tides just reached over and touched her shoulder lightly. "You of course… how could I think about anything else?"
"Gag me." Gippal had walked into the room and was watching them. "This is so sweet I want to barf."
Yuna looked over and glared at Gippal. "Well then, why don't you find something to do besides watch us?"
Gippal just smiled as Rikku bounced back into the room. She smiled as she excitedly said, "I just talked with Wakka and Lulu and we decided to go the karoke joint! It's going to be so awesome!"
Tides racked his brain for an excuse. "Couldn't we uh… just hang out here? We could find something to do instead out going out…"
Rikku rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, we came all the way here to just sit on our beds and stare at the ceiling… Yeah right! So, why don't you get off your behind and come with us?"
Tides hesitated. He knew that he would be worrying about Yuna the entire time, but if he didn't go with them he wouldn't be able to keep an eye on her. "Fine, I'll go." He muttered.
Yuna giggled and grabbed his hand, pulling him up. "Aww, it'll be fun!" She gave him a peck on the check before pulling back.
Tides managed a small smile at Yuna before allowing himself to be dragged out the door.
About few minutes later Tides found himself at the Karoke joint as Rikku jumped up to the stage to belt out a song. "Isn't this fun?" Yuna whispered as she stood next to Tides. When he didn't answer Yuna felt herself growing sad. Is he mad at me? She couldn't help but wonder as he stared at Rikku. Stared at Rikku? Yuna glanced at the blonde and then back at Tides. W-what? He couldn't like her could he? What about Gippal… and me?
Tides wondered what the heck Rikku was going to do. She whispered something to the person in charge and then began to belt out a song.

Everyone burst into cheers as Rikku took a bow and jumped off the stage and ran over to where Yuna and Tides were. "Oh that was fun! Yunie you should sing a song." Yuna just smiled and shook her head and Rikku threw her arms around Tides' waist. "C'mon Tides why don't you sing a song?"
Tides just shook his head. "After that? I don't think that the guys would appreciate it…"
Rikku laughed and Yuna frowned. Rikku seemed to be flirting with Tides… Oh, Yuna stop it! What's wrong with you? Her mind seemed to be scolding her and Yuna sighed. She wished that she could just relax and enjoy herself.
Suddenly something caught Tides' eye. Some Guado had just entered the building… and by some he meant at least ten. Oh crap, we're outnumbered! I can't fight all of them! He thought frantically to himself.
"I've got to get her out of here." Tides muttered.
For the moment the Guado stayed in back as a few more performances passed. But Tides knew that they weren't safe for long.
"We have time for one more performance!" The young man up on stage said and Tides pushed Yuna forward.
"Hurry, go and sing!" He told her.
"What? I don't want to sing!" Yuna answered.
"Please Yuna, it's important! I'll- I'll tell you later why, ok?" Tides looked at her pleadingly and when Yuna didn't move he said, "Do it for me?" Yuna slowly nodded and nerviously climbed up on the stage ignoring the whistles that she got as she did.
My Immortal"
I'm
so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And
if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause
your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me
alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too
real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you
cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight
away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these
years
But you still have
All of me
Yuna felt herself thinking of Seymour as she sang the song. Maybe that was the reason that she still hadn't completely given herself to Tides, the reason that she couldn't trust him… she was still scarred from the last experience.
You used to captivate me
By your
resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your
face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased
away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to
heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time
cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of
your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All
of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But
though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
You are still with me aren't you Seymour? You're still tormenting me and I hate you for it… I never did like being with you…I'm going to let you go!
Yuna couldn't finish the last chorus as her eyes filled with tears so she handed the microphone to the man standing behind her and turned around and ran out of the building through a door that was there.
She ran outside and fell to her knees as she sobbed. "Tides." She whispered softly.
Suddenly she felt his hands around her waist. "C'mon we have to get out of here." He told her as he grabbed her hand and they began to run. After a few blocks, Tides managed to flag down a cab and they jumped in. Yuna turned away as Tides told the driver the hotel's address.
"Why did you want me to go up there?" Yuna whispered.
Tides sighed as he started to put his arm on her shoulder, but Yuna just pulled away from him. "There were some Guado and I wanted you to get up there and get away from them. They were guarding the door so I figured that the only way that you could escape was to sing. I was going to jump up there after you finished and run out with you through the door that I had seen in the back but you were a couple of steps ahead of me." Tides couldn't help but smile.
Yuna looked at him confused. "Why are some Guado after me?"
"I think that Seymour sent them." Tides finally answered and Yuna just turned away.
"Of course." She muttered. "I can't have peace in my life for more then two seconds… just the way that it works I guess."
Tides wanted so badly to reach out and touch her but it seemed like she was out of reach. "It'll be ok Yuna…" He said softly for more of his sake then hers. "I know that it will…"
