CHAPTER 4

That night Namine tossed and turned in her sleep. Riku knew that she was dreaming about her sad past, like she did every night. He stood up an gently shook her shoulder trying to wake her. "It's ok it me." He told her knowing that she ight mistake him for Sephiroth. "I'm not gonna let him come back for you." He climbed uder her covers and held her close to him like he had when they were children.

Namine calmed down a small bit, but still she trembled. Riku managed to get her to sleep before falling asleep himself. Auron smiled to himself, what sort of bond did these two have?

The next morning Riku was still sleeping next to Namine. Auron smiled at the two and got up. Auron walked into the loby, sat down an orderd himself a drink.

Not long after Riku and Namine woke up to join him. Namine, being a girl always wanted her showers in the morning leaving Riku to go bond with daddy! "Mornin' dad." He yawned putting some gil on the assistant counter. "Black coffe."

Auron smiled and took another sip from his mug. "How's Namine?" He asked.

Riku sat down with his drink. "She's fine. Why?"

"I saw you two last night. You both have a special relationship."

Riku groaned. "She has nightmares of the past, dreams of Sephiroth abusing her. You see even now she's not grown up enough to feel that sort of pleasure." Riku explained embaressed.

Auron was slightly embaressed too. "She doesn't?"

"No." Riku shook his head.

Then Namine walked in. "Good morning guys." She greeted them. "Riku." She walked up to him. "Can I have some money for a mineral water?"

Riku nodded an gave her the money. "Why don't you have money?" Auron asked Namine.

Namine sat herself down. "When I used to. But once when he was going to...you know, he found the money and accused me of stealing. After that he beat me until I couldn't move. Then he had his way with me." She struggeled to say.

"You need say no more." Auron told her knowing that it must've been hard telling him all that.

She shook her her head. "No, it feels good getting it off my chest."

After a few hours the whole group was awake. "Next stop, the Mushroom rock road." Yuna told them. A scream was sounded from outside.

"Thats our cue lets go." Auron told them.

The battle was long and tireing and at the end of it they all got throwen off a cliff!

Riku helped Namine up and then helped Yuna up. "Thank you Riku." Yuna thanked him before asking her second question. "I have been meaning to ask you if you will be my guardian?"

"Sure I will."

Namine smiled. "Riku and Yuna sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love then comes marrige! then comes the baby in the baby carrage!" She sang running around in circles with Riku chasing her.

"Namine don't tease." Auron told her walking past.

They walked down to a large gate. "I'm sorry. But I cannot let you in." The guard said.

"I understand." Yuna said with a bow. The group turned around when they were greeted by Seymour...
