Hey peoples!! Yeah!! I'm back! Ha-ha, not like I was gone that long anyways! Haha! Thanks for everybody's reviews! Well this is chapter 17 "Missing" I think it's pretty good, well…enjoy!

"Oh! The nerve of her!" Tidus yelled to himself as he walked slowly down the pavement not paying attention to where he was going.

"Your not welcome here," he said mimicking Rikku's voice becoming aggravated.

"Psh, fine I wont go back. I don't need to go back." Stopping on the sidewalk before turning the corner he turns back to look at the hospital in the distance. The early morning was cold and brisk; tightening his coat he shook his head.

"Can I… can I just walk away like that? I recognize that Rikku is upset, but…ugh! She just doesn't understand! I mean sure I know I didn't help, but what she said…I just don't know what to do." Kicking some dirt beneath his feet he turned the corner, walking until he came within view of Lenne's house…their house. Stepping up the porch steps he turned the door handle. Lenne, who had been waiting for him for some time, met him. Sitting on the chair glancing out the side window turned her head, and smiled greeting him.

"Where were you…I woke up and you were gone?" Now standing, she moved closer to him.

"I…I went to the hospital…I went to see Yuna—"Tidus…we need to talk." A nervous feeling consumed him instantly. Her voice patient and calm, confused he nodded and headed to the couch to take a seat.

"What's this about? If it's about leaving to the hospital then—"No Tidus…it's about us. It is about us…the baby too." Edging closer off the couch he became concerned.

"Is the baby okay?"

"Yes, oh yes the baby is fine. Tidus…I want us to get married." The air was swept away from his throat, his chest heaving to regain air.

"…What? You want us to get…married?" A smile surface and dance upon Lenne's lips.

"Yes…I think it'll be the best for the baby. Don't you want the baby to have a father…legally?"

"Well…yea, but…it's all so sudden." Giggling to herself, cupping her mouth she nodded.

"I know, but I believe it is for the best. Don't you believe so too?"

"Well…I see where you're coming from—"You…don't want to?" Tears had welled into Lenne's eyes and her cheeks reddened, her lower lip evolving into a pout.

"No…oh Lenne…baby, please don't cry."

"Tidus…I am sorry, but I am not going to let you see Yuna—"What are you talking about."

"When you're with her…you don't want to be with me…we are starting a family now. Are you willing…are you willing to sacrifice being able to be in your kid's life?"

"What does that mean—"It means that…if you continue to see her, then I will take the baby and leave…and you can have her." His mouth left ajar, searched for words.

"You can't do that. I wont walk out on my family—"Then the decision is clear for you to make." Her face strictly structured toward him. He knew that doing what he was compelled to do…would mean…letting go…forgetting Yuna. Letting the thoughts over whelm him he stood, his legs shaking…his heart beating.

"Excuse me Lenne…I need…I need a moment to think." Not moving her eyes, still focused directly in front of her he left the room, slamming the front door behind him. Taking a deep breath he sat off the stoop of the porch, leaning over placing his elbows so that they rested on his knees.

"I wont be like my old man…but I can't leave Yuna either…what do I do? I promised I would keep coming to visit her…I've broken too many promises." Not knowing what to do and lost in thought, they were quickly disassembled upon Gippals entrance. Out of breath and sweating profusively he stumbled upon the porch.

"Is Rikku here?"

"No…I saw her last at the hospital."

"No, she never came back out. I was waiting in the parking lot. She was taking a while so I called her cell, but she didn't pick up. I figured it might not have signal, but she was nowhere to be found. It's not like her Tidus—"Now Gippal…slow down. I'm sure nothing serious has happened, just relax alright." Nodding he wiped the sweat away from his forehead.

"Alright, but Tidus you gotta help me find her." Standing on the step, he leaned to the side scratching the back of his head, "Uh…we kind of got into an argument."

"What happened—"It wasn't too serious, but I am pretty sure she's mad at me."

"Tidus forget that, we have to find her, then you both can work it out—"It's not just that…I don't know if I should go back to the hospital." Baffled Gippal stood waiting for him to continue.

"Lenne…well…she doesn't want me to see Yuna…and if I go to the hospital—"Tidus…c'mon man…please." No longer being able to stand back from the problem now grinned widely as he jumped down three steps, dirt flying from beneath his feet.

"Let's go! Hurry, lets go find her man!"

"Yeah! All right! Let's do it!" Both exited the gate turning right back toward the hospital. Watching from the side window draped with lace curtains, Lenne stood. Peering between the laces stood solemnly.

"Tidus…I think…I have fallen in love with you…" Bevelle Hospital

Entering through the doors, the air conditioner swept over and chilled their bodies.

"You can't come in here right now sir!" A nurse had intercepted them, attempting to push them back. They looked around, and noticed the odd amount of commotion that had been running about. Confused Gippal spoke in a ragged breath from running.

"What's going on!"

"One of the patients was taken with out release, we can't find her." Ignoring any other words that exited from her mouth Tidus pushed her aside running inside the side elevator as it closed he slammed the 200's button in. The time it took to reach the floor was unbearable. Quickly stepping out of the elevator he made an abrupt turn. Rushing inside Yuna's room.

"Oh…no…" Running up beside him Gippal stopped in his tracks trying to catch his breath.

"Where are they?" The room was empty, the glass window that he had been looking out earlier now laid in pieces, shards scattered upon her bed. The chair turned on its side, drops of blood scattered the floor. Rikku's cell phone had been dropped on the floor…she was gone too.

"Shit!" Tidus slammed his fist into the wall. Placing his hands at his side Gippal looked to Tidus, "I have an idea." Turning his head sharply to Gippal intrigued with his idea.

"It may not be much, and I know that you both really don't get along—"What do we have to do?" Smiling Gippal seemed reassured, "Lulu…she can help us find them. If Yuna and Rikku are missing…she can find them."
