CHAPTER 3

Riku and Auron ran through the streets of Luca. By now Namine had woken up, Riku knew a small cure spell so he used it on her. Namine's bruises dissapeared instantly.

They caught up with Yuna and her other guardians. "Sir Auron. We were wondering where you had got to." Yuna said doing the Yevon sign.

Auron just grunted and walked past. "I'd rather not explain it."

The group had been walking for hours now. They were all relived when they came to an inn. "Hey ya! We can't go in there" Everyone looked at him.

"Why not?" Tidus asked him.

"This is an Al bhed shop!" Wakka complained. "And I ain't tired one bit!"

Namine frowned. She walked up to him and poked his stomach. "Your the one who complained! You said that if you didn't sit down soon then your legs would fall off and get eaten by fiends!"

Auron laughed and walked inside with everyone else. "Seven rooms please." Auron asked putting his gil on the table.

"Oh! I am sorry sir. But we only have four rooms available." The shop assitant apolagised. "The first room has a double bed, the second has three beds, the third has two, and the last has one."

Auron sighed. "We'll take 'em." He walked outside to tell the arguing two to come inside. "Inside! Now!" Auron shouted from the travel agency doors.

"What?" Namine asked walking inside.

"The agency only has four rooms. We have to pair up." He told them both. "Yuna's sleeping with Lulu, Kimarhi's sleeping outside, Tidus and Wakka are sleeping in the two beds, that leaves Namine, Riku and me in the three beds." Auron told them walking into his room.

"Well." Namine said stretching her arms. "I'm gonna go take a nice long shower." She ran into her room with Riku following her.

While Namine was in the shower Auron and Riku spoke about what had happend to them the last ten years. "You seem very protective towards Namine." Auron said.

"Well. Once when I was in Bevelle fighting Sephiroth got drunk. He raped, attacked, and drugged Namine. He knocked mom unconcious so she couldn't help her." Riku sadly explained. "When I came back Namine was nearly dead. It also turned out that downstairs there's a cellar. In that cellar he keeps all sorts of tourture things. Because Namine can't protect herself he only used them on her."

Auron sighed. "If your a slave how did you get time off? Slaves don't."

Riku looked down at his legs. "We'd put sleeping pills in the guards drinks. Then we'd sneek out and grab a boat. Then we'd tell Sephiroth that our comander had sent us back to regain our energy."

"Quite the plan." Auron said. "I must thank you for looking after them."

"We all helped each other. Maybe I can get a good nights sleep with mom, Roxas, and Sora staying in Kilika." Riku told Auron. "We might not show it but we all hate Sephiroth. I hate him for hurting Namine."

Then Namine came out of the shower. "Anyone else want a shower?"

"No, we're fine." Riku answered.
