Heya sorry we haven't been able to update one of us was in America and we couldn't update without both of being hear (this is the cool 1 talking not the clever 1) :P she usually wont let me anywhere near the keyboard with hitting my hand away.

All Is Revealed…

"Hey Ti, long time no see…" One man said, holding a smoking gun.

"Dude a gun!" slurred Tidus, swaying.

"Well come on dude it's not like you don't know how to use one. You taught me," the man said stepping closer curiously, "Oh you're stoned, that explains it."

"Yo Jack!" Tidus shouted, finally recognizing his cousin.

The other four men gathered round the two, "Hey Ti man what's been happening?" greeted Tom, a fellow stoner with scruffy clothes and a knife stuck through his belt.

"I heard you got kicked out on the first day! Nice going man!" Jason laughed, punching Tidus on the shoulder. He had short brown hair and a gun shoved carelessly into his pocket of his dirty jeans.

"It's good to see you," Dave acknowledged, his dread locked hair hanging around his face.

"Yeah man. We had trouble finding ya! We didn't think you'd be in the most Yevonited school in Spira!" Keith exclaimed, his nose even more broken looking than Auron's.

"Hey not my choice!" Tidus defended himself.

"You left us to finish off the job man. We finally killed that son of a
bitch!" Keith whooped, looking drunk.

"Yeah Tide here's your share of the cash. There's around $2000 there," Jack said, handing his cousin some cash.

"Whoa thanks dude! But I didn't finish the job!" Tidus protested, still not thinking straight, although he had shoved the cash into his pocket as soon as Jack had given it to him.

"Yeah but without you we would have never got as far as we did! You fucking got us this far by killing like half his defense system before you left," Jack said chuckling, "Where did you put the body of that one guard?"

"Are well that's my little secret now isn't it" Tidus said coolly tapping the side of his nose, "Anyhow what job you guys doing now?" Tidus asked.

"Well now we've killed this little shit nothing, but we got word that there's someone round here looking for a gang to do some job for him and he heard about us," Jack said with a hard smile.

Tidus looked down to see the body on the floor, "Oi you guys you killed a member of my new blitz team! They're shit as it is anyway," Tidus said rolling his eyes, "Promise me you won't kill anymore members of my team."

"Alright," they all agreed.

"Hey man just cos you moved to Yevonited Besaid school doesn't mean your leaving the gang right? I mean man we need you back, you're the best in Zanarkand so you're the best in this whole damn world!" Jack said, giving Tidus a pat on the back.

"Hell no man! Like I'd ever abandon you guys. What would you do without me? I mean come on!" Tidus said laughing and gave Jason a high five.

"Yeah well this next person who hires us better be rich as they say he is, I need some cash," Tom stated.

"Anyway Tide where're you crashing at the mo?" Keith asked.

"A place kinda near the school with Auron," Tidus answered.

"Oh with Auron so there is no way we'd be able to crash with you for a while then?" asked Dave.

"Nah man I don't think so. Auron doesn't trust you guys even in the slightest and he'd kill you guys if he knew we were in gang and not just some teenagers getting in a few fights!" Tidus laughed.

"Well he could try!" Keith exclaimed his eyes flashing.

"Oh come on guys Auron ain't that bad, he's pretty cool once you get to know him," Tidus explained to his friends.

"Hmph whatever man… so what have you been up to lately?" Jack asked curiously.

"Well…" Tidus said with a cocky grin.

Jack knew where this was going and said, "A girl right, so how slutty is this one?" Jack said with a grin.

"Hey man that's the weird bit! She's not a slut," Tidus said, amazed that him and his cousin were talking about a girl he was dating that wasn't a slut.

"Whoa but she is hot right?" Jack asked.

"Oh yeah well fucking hot!" Tidus said grinning.

"Hotter than Michelle?" Jack said. Tidus thought for a while about his old girlfriend who was a complete slut but very attractive and his newest girlfriend who was just as attractive but in a less obvious way and then answered, "That's a hard one but I'd say Yuna, just in a less obvious way," Tidus said smirking.

"Hmmm hotter than Michelle you say? This I gotta see," Tom commented.

"NO! You damn well ain't gonna try and screw my girl!" Tidus shouted.

"Aww why not man?" Tom asked.

"Cos one she ain't a slut and two I'm not sharing!" Tidus said smugly.

"Hmph greedy!" Tom joked.

"Whatever man… listen I gotta head back before Auron sends out a search party for me. You guys have got my number, call me tomorrow and we can meet up k?" Tidus asked his old friends.

"Yeah man that sounds cool. You got school tomorrow?" Jack asked.

"As unfortunate as it is, yes," Tidus said unhappily.

"Well bunk last and we can get caned in that park near the beach alright?" Jack asked his cousin.

"Yeah man that sounds cool. See you then man!" Tidus replied.

"Well see ya round then," said Jack waving goodbye.

Two Weeks Later…

In the previous two weeks Tidus had been hanging out with his gang about two nights a week and some school days. Yuna had been getting worried about him missing so much school, but Besaid High seemed to be pleased that he wasn't disrupting as many lessons. The students on the other hand were quite pissed
off when Tidus wasn't in school- they seemed to prefer listening to Tidus arguing with the teachers rather than actually learning things.

Yuna walked out of her last period of the day, looking worried. Tidus had not been in school for three days straight and she'd hardly seen him over the past week. She was starting to think that he was avoiding her.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she bumped into Auron, "Oh sorry Auron…"

"What's on your mind Yuna?" Auron asked.

"Do you know what's happened to Tidus the last couple of weeks?" Yuna questioned, "I've hardly seen him at all…"

"No… The only times I've seen him are when he comes in late at night caned or drunk or both," Auron said matter of factly, "When did you last see him Yuna?"

"Well it's Thursday now and I last saw him on Saturday. He wasn't caned or drunk and we spent all day together at the beach and stuff," Yuna said dreamily, her eyes glazed over.

Auron chuckled then his face grew serious again, "I think he might be hanging out with some old friends of his," Auron emphasized the word 'his'.

"What's so bad about that?" Yuna asked puzzled.

"Well for one he's getting drunk and caned more often than not, and these friends of his… I'm sorry, I cannot tell you his business, I don't actually know the whole story. He would not do it to me. Ask him yourself if you actually see him when he can speak coherently, although you are more likely to get it out of him when he's drunk or stoned," Auron said in his usual monotone.

Rikku bounded up, "Hey Yunie hey Auron!" she greeted, jumping on Auron and then hugging Yuna. Oblivious to Auron's scowl she continued, babbling out her day's events, "…and then she said… but no way!… and then I said…"

Yuna had learned to pretend that she was listening to Rikku's… interesting stories while actually thinking about something completely different. In this case she was pondering on a certain blue-eyed charmer.

However, Auron had no such experience and found himself simply staring at Rikku with a glazed expression in his eyes wondering how one so small could be so loud. Suddenly he realised her tirade had ended and she was looking at
him expectantly.

Auron POV

Oh shit did she ask me a question?

Normal POV

"Auron! Auron hello? What do you think then?" Rikku asked him, a twinkle in her eyes.

"Um… very nice isn't it?" he improvised, panicking slightly, "What were your views on it?"

Auron POV

Yes, that should be vague enough to cover almost every topic…

Normal POV

"Well… I have a quite good view of it thank you. It's actually pointing right at me!" Rikku said giggling.

Auron POV

What the fuck…

Normal POV

"Oh so you like… uh… being exposed then?" Rikku ventured.

Auron gave her a puzzled look, clearly not knowing what the hell was going on, "What?"

Rikku merely glanced meaningfully down and blushed at least 15 different shades of red as she saw that they were now fully open and there was a noticeable bulge against his briefs. Auron face matched Rikku's as he finally looked down and hastily zipped up his flies pushing his little companion back inside.

Yuna had been quivering with laughter through this entire exchange and now that it was over she collapsed giggling onto the floor. However, before she hit the concrete a pair of strong arms caught her from behind and spun her around. Their eyes met, Yuna's filled with worry and questions and Tidus'
caring and surprisingly sober looking. Tidus leaned in, obviously wanting a kiss but…

"Not so fast lover boy!" Auron shouted, nearly over his embarrassment on 'the flies' incident.

Tidus shot him a dirty glare, "Jeesh Auron no need to shout I'm right here," he said in a chilled out voice.

"WELL YOU HAVEN'T BEEN FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS, HAVE YOU!" Auron lectured.

"Well aren't you being a bright lad today?" Tidus congratulated him sarcastically.

"I… we all want to know where you've been!" Auron demanded.

Tidus thought fast, "A hotel," he stated simply.

"You've never been that good at lying to me Tidus so tell me the truth, where the hell have you been boy?"

"Like I said, a hotel!"

"Why would you go to a hotel?"

"I like the food in those places!"

"Oh really so what did you eat? Green and beer?"

"Yo! man lay off alright?" Tidus said letting go of Yuna and starting to get mad, "I can handle myself OK!" he shouted, getting even more angry than before, "I don't need your fucking guidance you stupid fucking dick head so stay the fuck out of my life OK!"

"Don't you dare fucking talk to me like that! You hear me crybaby!" Auron taunted using the nickname Tidus' father always used to torment him with.

Flash back

"Mummy I hurt my knee when I was playing with the blitz ball can you come and make it better pwease?" a young 6 year old Tidus asked his mother.

"OK sweetie hang on one sec and let me have a look," Tidus' mother Amy called from the kitchen.

"Hmph just leave the cry-baby to cry, cry, cry that's all it's good for," his father Jecht tormented.

Amy ignored Jecht's remark and went on to help her son. Jecht seeing this got angry, "I'm warning you Amy, leave him to cry," he ordered in a dangerously soft tone.

Fear showing in her eyes Amy nevertheless continued to Tidus, even though he was now shaking his head and backing away from Jecht.

Jecht's eyes hardened and he grabbed her and brutally threw her against the wall. Picking her up again he held her against it "DON'T U EVER DISOBEY ME AGAIN YOU HEAR ME!" he shouted at his wife and with that hurling her onto the floor and kicking her head leaving her unconscious. "You'll get what's coming to you tonight," he sneered.

Jecht then turned to Tidus and yelled, "WHAT YOU WANNA BE NEXT BOY!" Tidus shook his head in fear tears streaming down his cheeks but desperately trying to hide the fact he was crying from his father. Jecht, managing to see the tears approached Tidus and screamed in his face, "WHAT HAVE I TOLD U ABOUT CRYING I WONT HAVE IT YOU HEAR ME!" He flung Tidus into the door laughing; "Hmm stupid cry-baby," then darkness took over.

Flash back ends

Pure anger was held in Tidus' eyes as that one word slipped Auron's tongue, cry-baby, and before he knew what he was even doing his fist had made contact with Auron's face sending him into some lockers behind him. Auron didn't stand up to defend himself or fight back for he to was still in shockthat he had let his anger get the better of him.

Tidus shouted at him, "What? You find that amusing! You find my past relationship with him so amusing that you wish to torment me even when he's in his grave!"

"Tidus…" Auron said in a low voice obviously ashamed of himself.

"No Auron no! Don't fucking Tidus me just leave me the fuck alone OK!" he screamed at Auron then storming off leaving a dumbfounded Rikku and Yuna.

"Tidus!" Auron shouted, running after him, "Tidus don't walk away from me!" he said grabbing his arm only to be thrown to the ground.

"I can do whatever I want, I don't need you or your fucked up insults and lectures!" Tidus bellowed at him.

"I didn't mean to say that" Auron said getting up.

"Oh don't give me shit man you did mean to say that! I heard the spite in your voice! You said it to get to me!" he replied, "You said it to hurt me," he added in a low hurt voice.

"I was just trying to make you listen to me" he tried explaining to Tidus.

"Well you didn't all you did was make me realize what sort of friend you really are!" Tidus replied bitterly.

"Oh and your fucked up cousin and your other pathetic friends are so much better are they?" Auron said getting vaguely angry himself.

"Hmph they're not the fucked up ones Auron they always stand by me and never say anything like that to me or talk to me like that!" Tidus said now getting ready to go for another punch (this time maybe aiming a little lower to cause more pain).

"I don't see why you are so stressed about this. OK I admit I was being a jerk and I shouldn't have said that name to you but I don't see why its bothering you this much. It was just one mistake" Auron said in a more calm voice trying to relax the furious Tidus.

"Yeah but Auron that's the thing; just calling me that was bad enough, but everything you said sounded just like him. Even your voice sounded a bit like him!" Tidus said looking him straight in the eye, "and do you know how it felt
to hear you of all people like that? Well let me tell you … it kills! You're like my role model and just then you talked to me just the one person I really hate!" he shouted almost on the verge of tears.

"Ti I never meant it like that I was just mad and it came out… I'm sorry let's just head back to ours and talk OK?" Auron asked in a ashamed voice.

"No… no Auron just leave me alone for a while," Tidus said just holding back the tears.

"No Tidus you are not going to go off in a sulk and get completely trashed somewhere! We're going back together!" Auron shouted, not wanting Tidus to get hurt when he was drunk.

"No I'm fucking not going to go back to talk with you, you wanker! I don't need you to tell what I should and shouldn't do, I'll do what I want when I want and if that means going out to do some shit then fine! Anything to get you out of my fucking mind!" Tidus screamed at him storming out of the
hall, getting on his bike and driving off.
