A new chpt is up. I got like 7 stories going at once and updated might be slow with this story, but you can rest assured that it will be kept alive.
Disclaimer. I don't own the song in this story. It belongs to the writer(s) that wrote it and to Christina Aguilera.
After the collision, Lenne, Yuna, Tidus and Shuyin arrived at the Luca Inn at last where Tidus was now examining the damage that was done to his car only moments ago.
A huge dent was near the rear end of the car and it had been severely scratched.
"I cannot believe this!" Tidus shouted angrily as he slammed his fist down on the hood of his car.
Never had Tidus been so angry in is life, so mad that he was pushed almost beyond his breaking limit. However, upon seeing Yuna and Lenne step back away from him, he took a very deep breath to try and calm himself as he turned towards them.
"Girls, I'm sorry." Tidus apologized.
Shuyin quickly grabbed him and pulled him aside. "Don't loose your cool, man. You don't want them to see your temper do you? You'll scare them for sure."
"Too late for that, Shuyin." Tidus said as he looked to Yuna who has worriment and concern in her eyes and he melted instantly. He then began to approach her
Shuyin shook his head. "Man, he's a sucker for such an innocent face."
Feeling like such a jackass, Tidus rubbed the back of his neck as he stood in front of Yuna. "I. . . didn't mean to scare you. . . Yuna. Or Lenne either." And as a small smile spread across Yuna's face, Tidus knew he succeeded in calming her newly formed fear of him. "How about we go on inside?" And with that said, they all headed inside.
Moments later. . .
Two rooms were gotten side by side, however, little did Shuyin and Tidus know just how loud two girls could get once put in a room together. God only knew what was to happen.
Feathers fly everywhere as a pillow nearly burst open, which then went sailing across the room. Another pillow is slung and it hit the wall only to land on the bed.
"Nana nana nana!" Lenne taunted at Yuna who threw a pillow right at that very second. "AHH! She yelled out as she was hit with that pillow head on.
"Gotcha!" Yuna teased as she then stuck her tongue out at Lenne.
"You're so gonna pay for that?" Lenne said playfully as she picked up the pillow and gave chase. Yuna squealed in laughter as she ran from Lenne who threw the pillow towards her.
Meanwhile, in the room next door, Shuyin and Tidus are quite humored at the girls. Just a few hours ago they were nearly blown up and now here they were laughing and playing around with each other.
Tidus sat on the bed farthest from the window as he cleaned his hand gun. Shuyin sat on the other bed across the room closest to the window as he listened to the girls horse play in the other room. Squeals and laughter are heard and Shuyin just chuckled to himself where seconds later the radio began to boom, which startled Tidus and Shuyin burst into laughter.
"What the hell- -" Tidus trailed off as he ten banged on the wall. "Girls, knock it off!"
"Tidus, lighten up." Shuyin said as he watched Tidus reload his gun and then tucked it away.
"If something were to happen in there, we'd never hear it." Tidus said as he got up and headed for the door.
"Tidus, wait! Don't!" Shuyin demanded as he jumped up from the bed and greeted Tidus at the door. "They're just having fun." Tidus only looked at Shuyin sternly as he then opened the door and exited the room.
Meanwhile, in the other room, Yuna and Lenne were just having fun and being themselves, which is something they rarely got the chance to do.
"Hey, put that on number two, Yuna!" Lenne suggested. "That's my song!"
Lenne quickly grabbed her hair brush, jumped up on the bed and began to sing along with the song. Yuna just giggled as she watched her strut her stuff and dance in an exotic manner to the beat of the music.
I feel like I've been locked up tight
for a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me
You're licking your lips
And blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby. Baby. baby (Baby ,baby, baby)
Ooh (my body is saying let's go)
Ooh (but my heart is saying no)
Lenne quickly motioned for Yuna to get up there and join in on the fun and Yuna took her up on her offer as she grabbed her brush from the night stand and jumped up there with Lenne just as the chorus began. They began to sing in harmony with each other and tried to keep their dance moves in the same rhythm.
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression
I gotta like what you do
Yuna stopped singing and allowed Lenne to finish the last verse alone as their dance moves became more exotic and robust.
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
You gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
Yuna stepped forth as began to sing the next verse solo as Lenne twirled around behind her as she moved to the other side of her and it was about that time that Tidus and Shuyin slowly eased the door open to find the girls up on top of the bed dancing and singing in the pjs and their hair up in pig tails.
The music's fading
The lights down low
Just one more dance
And then were gonna go
Waiting for someone
Who needs me
Tidus watched Yuna dance and it almost seemed to hypnotize him. Shuyin was by far impressed himself.
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby (baby, baby, baby)
Ooh (my body is saying let's go)
Ooh (but my heart is saying no)
The girls began to sing in perfect harmony again as they kept their dance moves in the same beat with the music.
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle (I'm a genie in a bottle)
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me (Ooh)
I can make your wish come true
(Wish come true...Woah)
Just come and set me free
And I'll be with you
Lenne quickly caught a glimpse of Shuyin and Tidus in the corner of her eye and stopped instantly as she gazed upon them. She pecked Yuna on her shoulder and as Yuna stopped she saw Tidus and Shuyin and her face turned a shade of crimson as Lenne just giggled at the fact they were caught goofing off.
"Uhh- -" Yuna trailed off as she watched Tidus walk over and turn their stereo off. She then stepped down off the bed as well as Lenne as he approached her. He crosses his arms over his chest as if to await an explanation. "What?"
"What do you think you were doing by having that stereo that loud?" Tidus scolded.
"Having fun." Lenne spoke up and said.
Tidus glanced her way then back at Yuna. "Yuna, if something were to happen, I would not have been able to hear it."
"So, what?" Yuna snapped "We're suppose to roll over and play dead because this psycho is stalking us?" Tidus narrowed his eyes at her as an angry expression played upon his features and Yuna's eyes widened a bit. However, instead of being frightened, she flashed him a cute, girlish smile.
"Keep it down." Tidus said calmly as he then turned and walked away.
"Yes, daddy." Yuna spatted at him. Tidus stopped abruptly and turned back towards her.
"I'm not trying to be your daddy, Yuna. I was hired as your bodyguard to protect you and that's what I intend to do." Tidus said. A smile slowly played upon Yuna's features and Tidus returned one back to her. "Sleep tight. If you need me fore anything, just knocked on the wall. I'm right on the other side." Yuna nodded her head.
"Good night, girls." Shuyin said as he and Tidus left the room.
Late that same night. . .
Silence filled the Inn as peaceful slumber had been bestowed upon all who were there. The silence was golden to many, however, to Lenne and Yuna, it was eerie.
Yuna had awakened from a troubled sleep. She started to awaken Lenne, however, due to her sleeping soundly, Yuna let her be. Therefore, she walked over to the window and gazed out it for a bit, that is, until she heard the fire alarm as it dinged three times only to stop as fast as it started. She listened for it to sound again and when she didn't hear it anymore, she shrugged it off as a false alarm.
Tidus had also heard the alarm and found it a little strange. As he turned over in bed, he saw a strange light flickering under the doorway. Therefore, he got up, put his pants on and proceeded towards the door, however, as he touched the door knob, his hand was instantly burned. He jerked his hand back with a small, painful groan, which angered him deeply. He then stepped back and kicked the door open, and as it flung open, he was greeted by flames that had already engulfed the hall.
The Luca Inn had been set afire in the dead of night. Who set it on fire and why was a total mystery. And whether or not everyone would escape alive was a whole other matter.
