Chapter Two

The next morning Lu woke Yuna up. Yuna rolled over unto her side. "Go away I'm tired." she moaned.

"You have school."

"I don't care I just want to sleep."

"Come on get up." Lu said ripping the blanket off Yuna.

"Alright, God you don't have to be mean about it." Yuna climbed out of bed and shooed Lu out of her room so she could get dressed. Ten minutes later, she walked into the kitchen wearing a purple t- shirt and a pair of jeans. She took a cereal bar from the cabinet and sat down at the table. "Why are you so dressed up," Yuna asked.

"Oh didn't I tell you I have to go some where so I won't be home when you get here."

"Take your time"

Lu looked up at the clock. "Doesn't your class start in 30 minutes?"

"Oh yeah" Yuna said casually shrugging Lu's comment off.

"Get out of here Yuna now"

"In a minute"

"Go!"

"Fine I'm leaving" Yuna said as she stood up. She grabbed her bag and left. Yuna walked slowly. She was in no hurry to get to school. She looked for her friends, but couldn't find anyone. They were all at school already. Either they took the bus or got rides, but no her stupid sister made her walk, Yuna thought. Luckily, she lived pretty close to school.
With ten minutes to spare Yuna finally arrived at school. After putting her stuff inside her locker, she headed to her first hour class, which was English.

"Hey Yunie thought you weren't coming," Rikku called out as Yuna walked in. Yuna went to her seat to sit down, but noticed Leblanc already took it.

"Get out of my seat" Yuna said. Leblanc looked at her and smiled.

"I was just having a conversation with my friend Tidus here"

Yuna looked at Tidus who shrugged back at her. Neither of them had any great love of Leblanc. She was one of the most popular girls in their whole class, arrogant and just plain dumb.

"Get out of Yunie's seat" Rikku said.

"So the seat belongs to her does it? I don't see her name written anywhere on it." Leblanc growled.

"Actually it's right down here." Rikku said pointing to the spot where someone had written the Yuna's name in pink marker.

"I can sit where every I want. Anyway Tidus I have something very important to discuss with you" Leblanc turned away from Yuna and stared at Tidus. Yuna didn't like where this was going.

"Leblanc better not get any ideas. Tidus is mine." Yuna said under her breath.

"So Tidus," Leblanc said so no one else could hear her, "who are you taking to the dance next week?" Tidus looked surprised.

"I already have someone very special in mind," he said dreamily.

"You don't mean that loser," Leblanc said pointing at Yuna who was trying to balance a stack of books on her head.

"Yep," Tidus said as Yuna looked at them.

"Look who's talking," she snapped at Leblanc. Leblanc only laughed. Angrily Yuna grabbed her book and went to throw it at Leblanc, but Rikku stopped her.

"She's not worth it, Yunie"

The bell rang and the teacher entered the class. "Good morning class. Will everyone please take their seats so that I can take attendance?" He said. The teacher looked around at the students who were all sitting at a desk except Yuna.

"Miss Yuna can I ask you why you aren't seated? There's an empty chair up here if you're looking for one. Goodness knows it will be a lot quieter with you sitting up front."

Yuna shut Leblanc an evil glare and then went to sit in the front row.

By the time lunch came around Yuna was still mad at Leblanc. "What the hell are we going to do about her?" Yuna said looking up from her lunch.

"I say we beat her up," Paine said.

"That's you're solution to almost everything," Rikku said.

"Well it usually works and its better than anything you're measly brain can come up with," Paine argued.

"She got you there Rikku," Baralai said laughing.

"Then it's settled today after school I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget," Paine said excitedly. Paine always loved a good fight.

"No," Lenne said, "no ones beating anyone up. You could be expelled from school or worse arrested, but besides that you wouldn't want to hurt another person."

"Hurting her is the point," Paine said.

"And if we got suspended we wouldn't have to wake up early just to come to school. Seeing Leblanc hurt would so be worth it"
Lenne looked sadly down at the table. Tidus walked up to the table and sat down next to Yuna.

"I saw Leblanc again in the halls. She invited me to her party on Friday," he said avoiding looking at Yuna.

"She what!

"Wow," Rikku said that's like an honor. She throws the greatest parties and only invites the coolest and most popular people. You totally have to go."

"I wouldn't Tidus," Paine said it's probably just a way to be alone with you. She either is looking for a way to get back at Yuna or really does like you and she usually can get any guy she wants."

"I'm going to kill her! Tidus is mine!" Yuna exclaimed jumping up from her seat knocking her soda over on Lenne.

"Yeah Yuna she's going to get Tidus drunk and then steal him from you. What more do I need to say." Rikku teased.

"Don't drink it kills brain cells and you all need every last one you can get." Baralai said.

"Except Lenne she has too many. Did you know she's fifth in our entire class? Hey wait where is Lenne?" Yuna said noticing that her friend wasn't in her seat anymore.

"Lenne tries really hard in school so that she can ensure she'll get a lot of scholarships so she'll be able to go to college otherwise she probably wouldn't be able to because her mother doesn't have that much money," Paine said softly making sure, only her group could hear it.

"How do you know? I think she is just a nerd." Yuna said. Paine rolled her eyes.

"That's not very nice Yuna," Baralai said "you're the reason she left."

"Meanie," Yuna said stumping off towards the bathroom.

"Yuna and Leblanc are the same. They both think only of themselves and don't care who they hurt to get there way," Baralai said logically. He was head of the junior class's peer consuling program and claimed to know a lot about these kinds of things.

"Come on," Tidus said, "don't be so hard on her she's only playing around." Just then, Yuna returned to the table eating a big chocolate donut.

"Why'd you get that?" Rikku said with her mouth watering.

"I raided the teacher's lounge. There are all kinds of yummy foods in there."

"You know I love chocolate. Why didn't you bring me anything?" Rikku said sadly.

"Cuz I'm mad at the lot of you." Yuna said as the bell rang.

In her last hour class, Yuna sat alone in the back corner. Lenne usually sat next to her, but she wasn't there. Yuna shrugged it off Lenne wasn't that much fun to be in class with anyway she refused to talk when the teacher was. Instead of talking Yuna starting reading a fashion magazine to pass the time in class, but was interrupted by a female voice.

"We have to work in pairs Yuna and since both of our partners aren't here we have to be together today."

"Is that so?" Yuna turned the page of her magazine not even looking up to see who was talking to her.

"YUNA!" the girl said again.

"Fine" Yuna put the magazine away and looked up at the girl. Her name was Kelly. She was in almost all of Yuna's class's yet Yuna barely ever talked to her. They worked quietly until Kelly said, "I saw Lenne earlier she go home sick or something."

"Dunno"

"Oh I thought she was your best friend."

Yuna shrugged. "She's been acting weird lately so I've been keeping my distance."

"Maybe you should have tried to see what's wrong with her."

"Maybe, but hey who are you to tell me what to do."

"Just a suggestion, Yuna"

"Here's a suggestion, the teacher who had overheard their conversation said, "why don't you focus on your work neither one of you have good enough grades that you can be messing around."

"I have a C." Yuna said, "What's wrong with that."

"I have a D"

"Oh"

Yuna returned home that day to a silent, dark home. Turning the light on in the kitchen, she could almost feel the stillness. It was all too eerie. She hated being alone. Immediately she turned on the television anything was better than being able to hear yourself think. She stared mindlessly at the television for hours until the phone rang. Startled Yuna went to pick it up on the off chance it was Lulu telling her she would be home any minute. It wasn't though. Instead, she heard the upbeat voice of her cousin Rikku. "Yunie what's up?"

"Nothing Rikku… umm can I call you back later I'm waiting for Lu and I'm kinda worried about her. It's not like her to be out this late when I'm here alone."

"Oh come on Yunie don't freak out she's probably out with Wakka some where. She does have a life you know."

"Yeah I guess, but…...Rikku I'll call you later."

Yuna hung up the phone. Something wasn't right if Lu had just gone out, she would have told her. A sharp pain was starting to develop in Yuna's stomach. She sat down on the sofa and peered out the window. The sky was overcast almost as if it knew how Yuna was feeling. She sat there for a while waiting until it became completely dark outside. Yuna shivered and went to make sure the doors were all looked. She then retreated to her room. She tried doing her homework, but couldn't focus. It was too silent. She needed to hear someone else's voice. Picking up her phone, she tired to decide whom to call. She had told Rikku he'd call her back, but she didn't really feel like talking to her so instead she called Lenne. Anyways she was worried about why she had left school early today. Lennne didn't pick up her phone. Yuna sighed and lay down on her bed. A few minutes later, the phone rang. Again, she picked it up hoping it was one of her friends. "Hello Yuna" a scary voice said on the other line.

"Who… who are you"

The person one the other line just laughed.

"Rikku, Tidus, Paine is that you? You won I'm scared."

"You're friends can't save you now no one can. You are next." the person said then hung up. Shaking Yuna put the phone down. That was just a prank call right Yuna thought. It couldn't have anything to do with her sister not being home. She watched television for the rest of the evening. At around 11:30 she went to bed, but couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned still haunted by the phone call. "You're next," the words echoed through her head. Finally falling asleep, Yuna had a horrible nightmare. She was standing in a cold alleyway waiting for someone. The wind howled past her and the only light was from the full moon above. A dark cloaked figure approached her. "Are you ready Yuna?" it said.

"For what"

"Death of course"

"No" Yuna tried to run away, but the man grabbed her.

Laughing evilly he said, "Once I kill you everyone who once opposed me will be gone. Nothing will be able to stop me."

"Nooooo!" Yuna screamed again. This time she woke up in a cold sweat. She looked at the clock, 4:30. No way she was going back to sleep so she got up and went into the kitchen to get water. Maybe Lu was home now Yuna thought, but no. Yuna's throat went dry. She had the worst feeling something bad was going on and that her sister wouldn't be coming home any time soon.

Later that day Yuna walked into her first class a few minutes after the bell rang. Luckily, this teacher didn't mind and only looked at her funny because she was drenched.

"What happened to you?" Tidus said.

"It's called rain" Yuna replied.

"Why were you late?"

"Am I ever on time?" Yuna said. Tidus didn't a chance to respond because they had a quiz. Yuna didn't know any of the answers because she hadn't read the book. She looked to her friends, but they just looked back at her. None of them had read either. Whatever Yuna thought her head hurt anyways. After she made up ridiculous answers to all the questions, she put her head down on the table and went to sleep. "Yuna" Tidus called trying to wake her up.

"I'm so tired" Yuna wined.

"We gotta go. You can sleep in the next class."

"Right" Yuna said as she got up and dragged herself to her next class.

"You okay?" Paine asked.

"Yeah I'm fine I just didn't sleep at all last night." Yuna said. She coughed. Her throat was still dry.

"That sucks"
"I'll live"

"You should go to the nurse's office. She'll let you sleep in there plus you get out of class."

"Yeah," Yuna said, "I'll be back by lunch. Yuna left the room and went down to the nurse's office.

At lunch, Yuna waited for her friends at their table. "You are feeling better?" Tidus asked.

Yuna nodded. "Except I'm really hungry. I haven't eaten in 24 hours."

"Why you still here?" Rikku asked, "I would have gone home if I were you."

"I couldn't. Lu still isn't home"

"That's weird you should come over to my house." Rikku said.

"I can't. I should wait for Lu at home."

"You sure?"

Yuna nodded.

"Lenne's still not here," Baralai said.

"She's probably sick or something." Paine said.

"I don't know she's been acting strange recently," Yuna said.

Yuna walked home alone again that day. She got home to find Lu still wasn't there so she called Wakka at practice.

"Hi Yuna how are you doing?" Wakka said when he picked up his phone.

"I'm good. Have you seen my sister?"

"No haven't seen or heard anything from her. I was going to stop by later to see if she was okay."

"She's gone Wakka. I haven't seen her in over a day. Why wouldn't she come home?" Yuna started to cry.

"Yuna," Wakka said seriously, "go to your cousin's house. I'll cut practice short today and go look for her." Yuna nodded.

"See you soon" he said and hung up.

Yuna put the phone down, but almost instantly, it rang again. There was silence on the other line.

"Hello," Yuna said.

"It's good to talk to you again Yuna" Yuna froze it was the same person who called yesterday.

"What do you want with me?"

The person laughed evilly. "If I told you now where would the fun be, but do not worry you'll find out soon enough."

"What did you do with my sister?"

"So you know. You're smarter than I thought. Worry not you're family safe with we or at least for now. They will serve their purpose just like you. And don't even think of calling the police because they'll suffer if you do and trust me it really wouldn't do any good. There is no escaping you're destiny." The person then hung up.

Yuna slowly dropped the phone and ran out of her house and all the way to Tidus's. She pounded on the door until he let her in. "Is your father home?" Tidus shook his head.

"Lock the door"

"Yuna what's going on?"

"Just do it" Tidus did and then they sat down. She told him everything.

"You gotta tell somebody. Your life's in danger."

"No please Tidus he'll kill them. Yuna said crying. Tidus hugged her.

"It's going to be alright Yuna. Listen carefully I have blitz ball in a half hour and I have to go because if I don't my dad'll get real mad. Go to Rikku's, but don't tell her anything for now. If I can get out of here I'll come see you later."

Stilling crying she nodded. Tidus kissed her on the head "Be strong Yuna"

After leaving his house Yuna walked to her cousin's taking the busy streets so no one could attack her. She knocked on the door and her uncle answered. "Hey Yuna haven't seen you in awhile come in while I get Rikku." Yuna walked in feeling safer already.

"Yunie," Rikku squealed as she hugged Yuna.

"Hiya"

"Lu never came home?" Rikku asked. Yuna shook her head.

"You gonna stay here?" Yuna nodded.

"Cid, Rikku screamed "Yuna's staying with us for awhile"

Cid came into the room. "Alright with me your sis know."

"She hasn't been home that's why Yuna is here."

"Okay" he said. Ever since Yuna's parents left, Cid had been pushing Yuna to move in with them saying that her twenty-year-old sister wasn't the greatest guardian, but until now, Yuna had never given in.

"Yuna is here," Brother said reaching out to hug Yuna, but Rikku hit him on top of the head before he could. She looked at her cousin and they both laughed. They both agreed that brother was Spira's biggest freak. The two girls went into Rikku's room to talk privately.

"He's so sick. I'm his cousin."

"Tell him that. Hey Yuna I just thought of something you didn't bring any clothes."

"Huh" Yuna hadn't even thought of that until now she had been in such a hurry she had completely forgotten to pack.

"Don't worry about it we can go tomorrow after school for now I'm sure I have something you can wear."

"Uh huh. I'm going to use the phone Rikku"
Yuna went to call Lenne while Rikku looked through her closet. She had a lot of clothes. Just like yesterday, no one answered. Yuna was starting to feel bad maybe Baralai was right and it was her fault. Later on Yuna stared out the window hoping to see Tidus, he never came. She knew it wasn't his fault though because his drunken father all but locks him in his room. Rikku stayed up late talking to her friends on the internet, but Yuna went to sleep. She was still exhausted.

In the morning, Rikku woke Yuna up by throwing pillows at her.

"Come on, come on Yunie get up," Rikku said jumping around the room. Yuna always wondered how she could have so much energy so early in the day. After a few minutes of that, Yuna finally got up. She didn't say much because she was in a very bad mood and was afraid she's snap at her cousin. They walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning girls," Cid said not even looking up from the newspaper. Rikku ate chocolate cereal and drank nearly a dozen cups of coffee.

"No wonder she's so hyper" Yuna said under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing" Yuna said she didn't eat anything. She just hadn't been hungry lately. Cid drove the girls to school.

"I'm going to go find Gippal Yunie I'll catch you later"

"Alright" Yuna replied as Rikku ran off. Yuna went off herself to Tidus's locker.

"Hiya" he said cheerfully.

Yuna smiled. Tidus could always cheer her up no matter how down she was.

"Get any more weird calls," he asked quietly. Yuna shook her head.

"That's good maybe they leave you alone from now on."

"He still has my family."

"Yeah" Tidus put his arm around Yuna as they walked down the hall.

When they arrived in class, Yuna was happy to see Lenne was there.

"Lenne," Yuna screamed.

Lenne just looked up. Yuna could see the sorrow in her eyes. Yuna also noticed Leblanc was approaching them.

"Leave us alone, I have much bigger problems then you now," Yuna growled at her. Leblanc looked scared and backed away. Yuna and Tidus sat down next to Lenne.

"I'm surprised you weren't here yesterday. Didn't it ruin your perfect attendance record or something?" Yuna asked Lenne. Lenne just shrugged. Yuna turned to Tidus.

"There's definitely something going on with her."

"Yep"

The teacher starting lecturing and as usual Yuna turned him off. Then he passed back the quizzes they had taken yesterday. Yuna looked at hers. She had gotten a five- percent.

"Wonder how this happened", Yuna said to Tidus showing him her paper, I made up answers to all the questions."

"Apparently your name was five points," Tidus replied pointing to the blank name line on his paper. He had gotten a zero and neither of them had answered a single question right.

"That's gonna hurt your grade," Rikku smirked.

"It's not like you did any better" Tidus said.

Rikku held up her paper. She had scored forty- percent. "This is actually going to bring my grade up."

"We're all still failing this class no matter how you put it," Yuna moaned.

"Hey look on the bright side Yuna, Lu's not around to scold you for failing," Rikku said.

Yuna's eyes began to water. "I miss the way she scolded me about everything because when she did I knew she cared," Yuna cried and ran from the classroom.

"Look what you did Rikku. Was that supposed to be reassuring?" Tidus asked angrily.

"I was only trying to cheer her up, you know"

"I know, but she not in the mood for jokes right now" Tidus said as he too got up and left the classroom.

"Where are you going!" the teacher called after them.

In the hall's Tidus wandered around calling Yuna's name. No reply came. He searched for a few minutes until he heard someone singing. She had a beautiful voice. He looked up at the door it was the girl's restroom. Tidus sighed. He knew that was Yuna. It sounded like her and he couldn't think of anyone else who'd being singing Small Two of Pieces in the middle of first hour so he entered the room. Sure enough, Yuna stood in the corner staring at the ceiling. She stopped singing when she heard Tidus enter.

"That was wonderful," Tidus said clapping.

"Can't I get a little privacy? This is the girl's restroom, you know in case you can't read."

"Hey didn't I once say I'd go any where for you"

"I want to be alone" Yuna said her eyes began to water. Tidus reached out and put his hands on Yuna's shoulder.

"What Rikku said made the reality of the situation sink in. My family isn't coming back. I may never see them again, ever and the worst part is there is nothing I can do about it. I'm useless.

"Come on Yuna don't say that. It's so far from the truth. I know you are stronger then this."

"No it is. If I can't help my family than what am I good for?"

Tidus diverted his gaze from Yuna so a second then looked straight into her eyes. "Leave everything to me. We'll find your family no matter what just you wait and see."

Yuna hugged Tidus. "How I wouldn't even know where to begin."

"Hey don't worry about it. Didn't I say leave everything to me? We'll find a way."

Yuna smiled up at him. "I know we will."

Will Yuna and Tidus be able to save her family? Who is the mysterious man that has Yuna's family and why? Stay tuned for more chapters and please review. It's very much appriecated.
