Thank you all for staying with me for so long! Well here goes…

The early dismissal bell rang, and the teenagers sprang from their seats. Swiping their books they crowed into the hallways pushing through the doorways, putting things in their lockers they headed home to change for the blitz ball game later that night. It was the first of the season, and they were expected to do exceptionally well with the new transfer student on their team. Within only a few moments passing by Yuna found herself standing alone in the School courtyard. The sky was a translucent blue with not one cloud to be seen. The weather for the game was in perfect condition. A slight wind blew her hair caressing her fair skin, holding her purse closer she looked in both directions.

"Where is he?" She asked aloud.

"You were looking for me?" Startled she turned around to find Shuyin reaching for her books, "Here let me carry those." Smiling she blushed faintly handing them to him unreluctantly. He had been wearing his blitz ball jersey all day, but the tone in his upper body was evident. His tan skin remained flawless. He had teal-blue eyes that danced with care, not reckless. His hair was frayed and tainted about. His blonde highlights reflecting the sun behind him.

"You wanted to see me? Lulu and Rikku told me to meet you here after school. What's up?" Continuing to smile, she seemed to freeze inside. Her stomach in knots, her hands perspiring, and she began to feel light headed.

"I can't…I can't do this…just take your books, and leave. I can't do this to him—"Wait…this may…be the only way—"Yuna? You okay?" Shaking from her trance she nodded her head.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I wanted to see you…to ask if I could go with you to the game tonight." Grinning, he revealed his perfect white smile.

"Of course you can go, why I mean everybody's going. Why ask me?" Taking a breath she remembered she WAS talking to a jock…they didn't get anything simple. Laughing slightly she smiled, "No I mean you and I… go together. It'll be fun." Scratching his head confusingly he implored, "Wait like a date?" Overcome with embarrassment she reached for her books.

"Never mind Shuyin, forget I asked—"Wait Yuna!" Catching her by her arm he seemed to swing her around, but gently.

"I'm sorry. I would love for you to come with me. It's just I didn't think that you liked me like that. I mean get serious. One of the most popular girls in Bevelle and a third string for the blitz ball team…I just, well it doesn't seem like that's the way it works, you know?" Taking her books back he wrapped his arm with hers.

"I'm sorry if it was surprising…I just, well didn't know how to go about it." Smiling to themselves they pushed forward.

"Hey Yuna, after the game you want to go, and get something to eat?" Nodding she forced a smile. Unwillingly she had deceived him, but what could she do. What was done had been done.

Blitz Ball Game

The afternoon had leaded itself to a chilly night, and Yuna wrapped herself in Shuyin's Blitz Ball's team jacket. Holding hands he led her to the front row stands where the team's girlfriends and family sat. The water vaults released, filling the dome. Fireworks released into the skies, and pyre flies descended from the remains. With all eyes above to the sky Shuyin remained fixated on Yuna's beautiful eyes. Looking down from the sky she noticed.

"Is something wrong?"

"No…nothing could be wrong." Both smiling he leaned in, but abruptly she tried to avoid what was to be a kiss, and sat down. Smiling he knelt down and kissed her forehead.

"I'll see you after the game alright? I'm playing tonight so watch me alright?" Nodding, he kissed her cheek, and turned away walking for the lockers. Lenne had come early with Tidus, and also had his Team Jacket around her body. Tidus had left several moments earlier, and with no return she found herself watching the entire scene. Sitting, she balled her fists tight with rage, her face red with jealousy. Standing she held her purse tighter. Debating on whether or not to approach Yuna was all dismissed when she noticed that she too wore a jacket. Without haste she skipped down two aisle rows onto A1. Standing to her right Yuna with out hesitation stood.

"What do you want Lenne?" Smiling evilly she surveyed the jacket seeing a lack of awards she laughed. Returning she held a serious composure.

"What the hell are you doing with Shuyin…looks to me like Yunie's dropping her expectations? Snickering to herself, Yuna smiled.

"He wasn't that high when you dated him…actually he was higher, especially that day in the cafeteria. I'm sure he had a few feet on you, seeing on how you were on your knees." Smiling to herself Yuna could see the hate engulfing her. Filling with unbearable rage. Turning around to take her seat she felt a heavy pull on the back of her hair. Grabbing Lenne's hand for release she had failed, and now was bent over before Lenne's knees. Pushing up she swung her fist through the gap between them, meeting Lenne's jaw. The pain was so excruciating Lenne released her hand, but was bombarded with Yuna's fists. Covering her face she had tripped back over purse. Hitting the bleachers Yuna continued to move forward involved in a spell of rage that Lenne had dared to attack her, especially from behind.

With only a few moments passing the crowd had become aware. Surrounding them the teenagers continued to yell, "Fight! Fight! Get up! Hit her! Hit her back! Fight!" The sound of the crowd had drowned out of Yuna's ears. Finally she could avenge her emotions. The word traveled fast, and boys had exited from the locker rooms. Tidus still had not had time to put his shirt on. His toned stomach, cut, bare chest. He had not bothered, when he heard there was a fight he knew exactly who it was between. He knew Yuna was there. Jumping between the crowds he reached them. The entire blitz ball team worked to disperse of the rowdy crowd. Pulling Yuna away from Lenne he yelled, "Stop this Yuna! You have to stop!" Shaking and out of breath she turned to him. Barely letting a faint whisper of what breath she had out, "Ti…Tidus?" Breaking between the two Shuyin interrupted.

"Yuna, are you okay?" Pulling her close he kissed her forehead, "I saw the fight, but I couldn't get through." Turning her glance back to Tidus, he now stood alone. Silent, his fists balled, concentrated on Shuyin alone. Turning to see that Yuna had seen a bit of his jealousy he relaxed his muscles and quickly turned to Lenne helping her from the ground. Taking a breath she looked at Lenne. Her nose was bleeding, and her lip busted, swelling up into the air.

"Ouch!" Shuyin had touched Yuna's forehead, where a cut, her only cut laid. Gently smiling Shuyin held her shoulders.

"Come on lets go get that taken care of with the nurse, well I think Lenne needs more help than you, but you don't want it to scar." Turning away he grabbed her hand pulling her away from the scene. Looking back she deeply wished Tidus could care for her once again.

After the separation the game resumed. Yuna sat on the other side of the dome, and Lenne sat on the opposing side.

Locker Room After The Game

Sweat and steam filled the room. After showering Tidus walked past each locker searching for Shuyin, as if to graze every aisle of a grocery store. He sat in the last locker aisle alone. Most of the guys were either still showering, or preparing to leave. Standing quickly upon Tidus' entrance he began to speak, "Hey Tidus, man I don't want any problems. I'm sorry about your girl, but you should know my girl has problems with her." Punching the locker only inches from his face Shuyin sat down startled. Balling his other fist Tidus held back.

"She is not your damn girl…stay the hell away from Yuna."
