CHAPTER 1

Ten yers went by slowly, and still Auron did not return home. In the end Aerith and Namine were put into slavery by Yevons ruler because of his hate for the Al bhed. Riku, Sora, and Roxas were also put into slavery but used as soldiers.

Namine and Aerith lived in Luca with their cruel master Sephiroth.

Every now an then Namine's brothers would manage to get time off from their work, and when they did they would stay in Sephiroth's mansion and help with their mother and sisters work.

Riku would work extra hard to get time off to spend with his family. Roxas and Sora would also try just so they could help Namine and Aerith with the work they were forced to do, knowing that if Namine didn't work fast enough then she would be beaten. However Aerith wasn't beaten for she could put up with pain but her daughter could not.

Everyday Namine would sit on the Luca stadiom steps waiting for her father to return. Most people said that she was mad, that if Auron had survived then he would have gone back to them. But she would just say that he had buisness to attend to. Namine would sit on those steps till her master came for her. All her sorrow changed on the Blitzball champian games though.

Namine was sitting on the stairs waiting for her master to come and drag her back just so he could beat her. But instead of seeing his white long hair she caught a glimse of a red coat. She examined the man walking towards her, he could be none other than her father.

She ran up to the man and wrapped her arms round him. He seemed surprised at first but after he realised who she was he hugged her back. "Daddy." She whispered loving the words she spoke most.

Auron looked at Namine and saw how much she had changed. She had grown her hair out longer so it came down to her waist and had dyed it redish brown, she had gotton curves that had taken shape by age. "I've missed you too." He told her stroking her hair. "How did you know I would be here?"

Namine looked up at him. Smiling with tearfull eyes he was surprised by what she said. "The Fayth told me. They told me after I tryed an attempt at suicide."

"Suicide?" Auron said not beliving his ears. "Because of me?" He started to feel guilty.

Namine shook her head. "Partly. My master had gotten me so upset telling me that you were never coming back, I couldn't take it anymore, along with everything else he did to me, my brothers, and mom. Death seemed like the only way out." She told him.

"What do you mean master?"

Namine sighed. How could she tell Auron this? "Not long in Braska's calm the leader of Yevon decided that... Well, cause mom was bought up in the Al bhed tribe she was bacicly an Al bhed and so were we. So the Yevon comunity came up with the idea to sell us into slavery, that way they could get money, and the man who bought us would have some slaves." Namine took a deep breath before continuing. "The man who got us is called Sephiroth. Sephiroth is a jerk, meanie, liar, lazy good for nothin' and a lot of nasty rude names! He sent Riku, Sora, and Roxas off as soldiers, leaving me and mom to work in his sixteen story mansion! If we don't work fast enough then he beats us! The boys try to get as much time off of work so they can help, but they don't get that much." Namine explained.

Auron was about to speak but Namine his behind him. A tall man with white hair stormed up to Auron and pulled Namine out from behind him. "You stupid girl!" He shouted slapping her around the face with the back of his hand. He tryed to pull her away but Auron stopped him.

Auron pulled Namine into a tight embrace. "I do not like the way you deal with my family." He told the strange frowning man. Auron stared at her bruised cheek and wonderd who this man was.

"Master." Namine said bowing. "Do forgive my father he did not mean it." She begged his forgivness.

"So then... You must be Sephiroth?" Auron asked him.

Sephiroth nodded. "And you must be the almighy sir Auron? Kairi's father."

Auron looked at Namine confused. "Kairi?"

"I was given a new name. He told me to dye my hair aswell." She explained. Auron who was now very angery with this man hit him hard over the head with the back of his Katana. Sephiroth fell unconcious. "Show me where the others are." He told Namine who ran in front of him leading him towards the mansion.

When they got there Auron banged on the large doors. He heard pacing inside. The door opened with a shocked Riku who was obviosly expecting Sephiroth. "Dad?" He asked speachless. Auron nodded not knowing how to react, he had left his oldest son as a boy, now here he was a grown man.

Namine ran inside. She ran into the kitchen were her mother was putting plates away. "Mom." She said causing her mom to turn around. Sora and Roxas also popped up from behind a large table. "Dads back."

Aerith ran out that room into the large hall where her beloved Auron was standing. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. After a while they stopped, Auron looked at his grown children. He felt his russet eye begin to water. But he wasn't the only one apparently Sora was very emotional. "Come on guys." Riku told his younger sibblings. "Lets give the two lovebirds some alone time."

"No. Come here." Auron said shaking his head and pointing at Riku. Riku walked over to Auron who pulled him into a tight bear hug. "Thank you for looking after them." He thanked him not letting go.

Riku started to turn blue. "Dad. As comforting as this is I can't breath." He managed. Auron let go and laughed.

"Well blue is your favourite color." Roxas joked. "Don't I get a hug?" He asked frowning.

Auron laughed and opened his arms. "There's room for everyone." When said that it was like a stampeed. All his kids including his wife ran into his arms.

When Auron and the rest of his family had stopped hugging him, and Sora had stopped crying, they ALL went to the blitz ball stadiam. They laughed when they saw Sephiroth with a flower in his hair (Which Namine put there for a laugh.)

But the stadiam was in havok! Fiends were everywhere! Riku, and Sora fought with funny swords that looked a bit like giant keys while Roxas took Namine and Aerith to safety.

After countless amounts of battles Auron said he had something to deal with then he ran after a blonde boy, Riku and the triplets went off to talk to their old friend, Yuna.
