Here's another chapter for you guys. Sorry I took forever to update. Well here goes nothing…

Chapter 19:

Luca

Tidus' POV:

I've just entered the city, taking in all that was around me. Buildings scattered all over the place, closely built to each other. The buildings' lights made every move clear as if it was day. Except for those alleys, they were pitch black as you passed them. You never knew what was held in them, and you never wanted to think about it.

Motorcycles, cars, trucks, you name it, they were all still on the road. It is like it's not even midnight. People still roamed around, no matter what time it was. Well for the city anyway. Honking were still as famous as they were during the day, going off quite loudly, but luckily people didn't honk as much. Some people were being considerate to the fact it was nighttime and people were sleeping, well were trying to sleep anyway. Nonetheless, it was somewhat similar from my hometown Zanarkand. Zanarkand was much bigger, and was very city-like. It was pretty big though.

Being in the city somewhat exhilarated me for some reason seeing I haven't been in one for awhile since I moved to Besaid when I was 10. Maybe just because it was a new place for a change. Though I've been here once, when I was 6, that was quite sometime ago. I definitely don't remember too much, but I remember enough that it was a crazy city, kind of like Zanarkand.

I looked to my left, and saw yet another alley. I decided to park there, and to start to look around. There had to be a hotel or inn somewhere near, seeing that there were many tourists who came here. So I turned into the alley, slowly driving further and further in. When I was about mid-way in it, I put the car into park, and opened the car door. I stepped my foot outside, feeling a breeze sweep past my foot. A little chilly, but nothing I couldn't handle. I took the keys, and stepped outside fully of my car and shut the door. I locked all of the car doors and left the dark alley. Once I was out in the light again, I let out a sigh of relief.

"A little creepy…" I muttered to myself, shoving my keys into my pocket. I looked around, feeling breezes from the cars flying by. Felt good, I must say.

I walked down the large side walk, passing many little stores. They ranged from cafes, bars, pizza places and other fast food places. I found useful stores I would want to go into, but not my main target. I continued to walk, looking out for any signs of an Inn or Hotel.

"Finally..." I whispered, as I found myself looking up a wooden sign. It read "Cid's Inn." I opened the glass door, and walked inside. I took slow steps, looking around the place. I could hear the echo of my foot every time it hit against the hardwoods floors.

As I continued to examine the small inn, I heard a male voice speak up. "Hello young man, may I help you?" He asked politely, getting my attention.

I looked at a bald man, with a pair of black goggles sitting around his neck. He had green eyes, with the black swirls in them, so he must be Al-Bhed just like Rikku. I looked at his name tag, it read "Cid", so I guess he owns this place.

"Yes I'd like a room please," I said, as I walked over to the reception desk, and rested my hands on the desk, taking looks around the room.

"Alright, Room 25," He said, handing me a set of keys. I took them, putting them in my pocket along with my car keys. I gave him a slight nod, and went to my left. There led a staircase. I walked up the flight of stairs, which tired me out even more then I already was.

I got to the first floor, and I looked down the hall for my room. 23, 24, 25…Ah found it. I twisted the knob, and opened the door. I walked inside, looking in the pretty decent room. To my left was a large window dressed with white curtains. Probably looking over an alley I bet…In front of me, laid a king-sized bed, with a white comforter lying over some white sheets. The pillows lay nicely at the top of the bed. Looked so comfortable. I walked to the foot of the bed, and fell onto the bed. I lay there, comfortably, for a few moments.

Wonder what Yuna is doing right now….

Yuna's POV:

I swerved out of my driveway with Rikku in the passenger's seat, rather sloppily, knocking over my garbage cans. Note to self: Pick those up when back at home. I sped down the street, leaving black skid marks on the road in front of my driveway. Oops.

I made my way through Besaid to Luca. It took awhile but it was all worth it. Rikku told to pull over right by the entrance of Luca. We pulled into an alley behind a parked car. I couldn't make out what type or color car it was.

"Yunie, lets first check my dad's Inn. It should be right up there, come on!" She suggested, tugging on my hand. She began to jog, trying to urge me to go a little faster. I began to job alongside with her, just to make her happy. We passed so many places filled with tasty aromas, but we could check out those places later. But, wow, they just made me even hungrier.

Finally, Rikku halted in front of these glass doors. She twisted the knob and ran inside. I followed behind, going at the same pace as her.

"Cid!" Rikku exclaimed, running over to the reception desk. She ran behind it, embracing her dad, my uncle. I walked slower, and stood in front of the desk.

"Neggi, fryd yna oui tuehk rana? Acbaleymmo drec myda!" Cid yelled in surprise, speaking in Al Bhed.(Rikku, what are you doing here? Especially this late!) I understood his words, seeing Rikku taught me Al Bhed 2 years ago. I smiled as I saw the concern in his eyes.

"Yf Let, E's zicd rana muugehk vun cusauha fedr Oihea!" Rikku explained.(Aw Cid, I'm just looking for someone here with Yunie!)

"Fa femm dymg ypuid drec mydan," Uncle said, dismissing the subject for now.(We will talk about this later) He turned facing me and smiled. "Yuna! It's been awhile,"

"Yeah, it has uncle," I said, returning the smile.

"Well don't just stand there, give me a hug!" He exclaimed, walking from behind the desk, and pulling me into an embrace and I hugged back.

"Cid, we didn't come here for a reunion, we need to find someone," Rikku said, cutting to the chase, as she grew impatient. He pulled away, looking back at Rikku that who was now standing next to me again.

"Did you see a man with spikey blonde hair and has blue eyes, Uncle?" I asked.

"Yes I did, why?"

"Dad! Can we have the room number?" Rikku asked.

"Room 25, but I hope you guys don't plan to do anything bad to the young man!" He shouted after us, as we were already at the staircase. We climbed up the staircase and ran through the hall, watching the room numbers fly by. And finally, we got to his room. I banged on it loudly, after finding that it was locked.

Tidus' POV:

Just as I was about to drift off to sleep, I was awakened by a long bang on my door. Forgetting that it could be someone like Seymour or his guards, I flew open the door, feeling a bit frustrated that someone was actually banging on my door at midnight. But I quickly took back that thought, as I saw who it was.

"Yuna? Rikku?" I said in disbelief. I knew they would come, but this late and soon? Dang, whoever who was driving, drove fast and slick.

"Tidus!" Yuna exclaimed, wrapping her arms around my waist, resting her head against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, returning the hug. "Thank Yevon, he didn't hurt you!"

"Yep, I'm all good, I'm just happy everything is okay with you,"

"Nothing is good Tidus! I have a stalker and you're in danger," Yuna said with a worried tone.

"Rikku, can you go in the room for a minute so I can talk to Yuna alone?" I asked her, waiting for an answer.

"Sure thing, Ti!" She said going into the room, closing the door behind her. I had a feeling she'd eavesdrop once she closed the door. But that's not what to worry about at the moment.

"Anyways abo-what the?" I felt the back of my head after feelings something very light hit the back of my head. I turned around, and saw a little airplane sitting on the carpeted floor. I bent down and picked it up.

"What is it?" Yuna looked at me, as I opened the airplane that held a little note. Yuna stood next to me, as I began to read the letter. It read:

Just because you got away this time, doesn't mean next time will be as easy. This is only the beginning! Prepare for the fight, whether you like it or not!

Nice, Yuna was already worried, and I know this just made it even worse.

She turned around, bringing her hand to her face. I could hear her muffled sniffles that she tried to cover up with her hand to her face. I walked closer to her, wrapping my arms around her from behind.

"Don't worry about it, Yuna. He's just trying to scare us," I said, trying to comfort her with my words. But who am I kidding, I know Seymour is psycho enough to do things much worse. Even Yuna knew what he can behold.

"Can you really promise that?" She said, speaking in monotone. Her back still facing me as she spoke. "You don't know what power he holds Tidus, how can you really say that?"

"I don't know, Yuna. But I'll stick with you the whole time. We'll get by this obstacle." I said reassuringly.

"How do you know? This is risking both of our lives…"

"You can't say it's in risk yet. Nothing bad has happened yet…." I said, raising my hands to her shoulders, but she shrugged them off as she turned around.

"So I suppose getting threatened to be killed and followed by armed guards is nothing, huh?"

"But I handled th-" "Doesn't matter Tidus, it's only the beginning. The end is far to come…you...we survived this time, but what about the next?"

"Must you talk with such negativity?" I said getting frustrated. Does she really think it's all over?

"Negativity? What if I'm speaking the truth, Tidus? What if I'm right?" Yuna said popping up so many questions. But what if she is speaking the truth, if she's right. Getting tired of talking about this and getting tired overall, I decided to end the conversation.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore," I said, putting my hand on the door knob about to twist it when I felt a hand pull me back. That hand belonging to Yuna.

"Well I do Tidus!" She said, turning me around to face her. "We can't avoid this!"

"Why are we arguing about this? No, why are you?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows getting even more frustrated

"Fine, lets just forget this happened, and let whatever happen, happen," She responded, giving up.

"Good, lets go inside now. I'm tired." I said, opening the door. I heard a scramble and saw Rikku jump onto the bed.

"Hi!" She exclaimed, smiling innocently. "How'd the talk go?"

"Surprised you're asking, you should know," I said going to the foot of the bed, slipping off my shoes and setting them down.

"Are you accusing me of spying on you guys?" She said, acting as if she was taken back and offended.

"I was thinking eavesdropping, but that's good too," I laughed.

"Heh.." Yuna said piping up. She still kind of seemed mad, or just out of it.

"Aw Yunie, you mad?" I said using her nickname created by her cousin. Her eyes perked up when she heard me say 'Yunie'. I wrapped my arms around her, putting out my bottom lip. "Please don't be,"

"How can I be when you make that face," She said smiling. "Now for sleeping arrangements…" She left my arms, and went to go sit on the bed.

"We can all sleep in this one bed, after all it is King sized," I suggested, slipping under the covers. I patted the spot next to me, looking up at Yuna, smirking. She blushed a beet red, and I sent her a wink.

"Ew, I hope you guys don't do anything nasty while I'm sleeping," Rikku said disgusted as she sat on the opposite end of me. Yuna crawled down the bed, towards the spot I designated for her. I watched her carefully, watching each sway of her perfectly shaped hips as she crawled. I admired her smooth skin and her bi-colored eyes, then my eyes lowered to her-

"Tidus, stop drooling! Pervert!" Yuna shouted, pushing my head to the side as she slid under the covers. I laughed as I turned my attention back to her. I laid on my side, laying my arm across her stomach, holding her. I pulled her closer, as she turned on her side, pressing her back against me. I rested my head on her shoulder, inhaling her vanilla scent.

"Night Yuna," I whispered into her ear.

"Night Tidus," She replied.

"…Love you," I said, as my eyelids were pushing to close.

"Love you too,"
