Luca Hospital 12:00 am

Voices. His voice.

"She'll be fine though, right?" Tidus' voice said.

"She should feel better in a couple of hours," the voice of an old man said.

Yuna opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling of the hospital room. She groaned as she tried to sit up making Tidus look at her.

"Yuna?" Tidus said walking over to her.

"Hey" she said with a smile. She put her right hand to her head using her left to prop up on. "My head hurts," She looked at Rikku who was knocked out right beside her. "Why is she asleep?"

"Well one it's twelve o'clock at night and two it was my turn to watch you," Tidus said.

"What happened?" Yuna asked.

"You're fine, they said you just had a panic attack from like a lack of food. Did you eat at all the day before school?" Tidus asked, his hand went over to her head. "Still hot."
"No, I didn't," Yuna said covering her head with the sheets. More like a few days, he's gonna be mad. Tidus pulled them down.

"Why not?" Tidus asked a little anger showing in his voice. Why hadn't she?

"A lot of stuff happened," Yuna said looking at the wall.

"When Rikku told me to go call the hospital, I heard her say, 'Not again', what did she mean. This has happened before?" Tidus asked.

"Yeah, I got real sick this one time and I didn't eat. And then I got better, but then this," Yuna said. After a long time of silence, she started thinking. I wouldn't be here if I hadn't had to sneak one the ship. I haven't eaten since Friday. And why does Tidus care so much, I just met him today. "Tidus, I want to go home," Yuna then started crying, and Tidus suddenly felt bad about asking anything.

"You want to go home," Tidus said nodding towards Yuna, "I'll go ask the doctors to let you go okay," Tidus got up and walked out of the room.

Yuna just closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Tuesday Morning

"Yuna? Yuna, you need to get up," Tidus said lightly shaking Yuna. "C'mon, breakfast, and this time Rikku didn't set the stove on fire,"

Yuna slowly opened her eyes and Tidus gave her a confused look.

"Kay, I wanna wear your shirt today, the green one," Yuna said with a yawn and a smile as she sat up.

"Alright, I'll go get it, kay?" Tidus stood and left the room.

Yuna got up and looked at her still pained hands. I can't get ready, I still need help with my hands or do I? Yuna tried to open her drawer, but the sting hurt too badly. Just then she heard a knock on her door.

"Come in," Yuna said. Tidus walked in and threw the shirt over Yuna's head and pushing her forward with little effort. He made a girlie scream as she squealed. She giggled lightly.

"Hey, hadn't got you to laugh yet. Score! One point for me!" Tidus said standing behind her. "Need help?"

"Yeah," Yuna said smiling.

Tidus got her clothes out and just helped her put her shirt and pants on. "Hey, Thursday, the blitz team has its first game of the season." He said as he tried to brush her hair, "How do you want this?"

Yuna smiled and said, "Just leave it. Why are you telling me about the game?" She said smiling.

"You'll come right?" Tidus asked. "Please?" He asked as he turned her to look at him.

"Sure," Yuna said.

Tidus and Yuna headed down the stairs after Tidus helping Yuna with her shoes.

Rikku was already eating, and Tidus and Yuna's food was on the counter. Tidus walked over and grabbed both plates and sat them both on the table. Yuna sat down next to where he put his food. He looked at her and moved hers next to his.

"Rikku, feed your cousin," Tidus said sitting down next to Yuna.

"Nope, I'm finished," She said as she got up. "Looks like you have to do it,"

"You guys planned this didn't you, I bet Yuna's hands aren't even burnt," He said jokingly.

"Sure we did." Rikku said, "Though that isn't a bad idea. To the stove!" She said smiling.

"What? Gonna follow Gipple around like a dog like Yuna did with me? Have him do every little thing for ya. Do your classwork, open your locker, every little thing, " Tidus said in a fake irritated tone. Yuna looked up at him, looking hurt she got up. "Woah, Yuna I was kidding," Tidus said as he got up and walked over to her. "Really didn't mean it I was trying to make Rikku look stupid, even though it's not a hard thing to do, I'm sorry," Tidus said with his arms on her shoulders to keep her from moving away from him.

"Hey, I'm not easy to stupid make look," Rikku said turning to face the two of them.

"Did you hear what you just said?" Tidus said still with his arms on Yuna's shoulders.

Rikku was silent then her mouth opened wide and she hit herself in the head with her hand. "Stupid English!"

"Yeah, my point," Tidus said. "Look Yuna, I'm sorry okay?"

Yuna nodded and went back to the table. Tidus sighed and went to the table as well. Yuna then picked up her fork and started eating herself. Tidus looked over at her.

"Yuna? What the hell?" Tidus asked as he took the fork away from her.

"Give it back!" Yuna yelled, she had tears in her eyes from her hands and she turned away from Tidus. "I'm not hungry anymore,"

"Yuna, look at your damn hands, you're rubbing the damn fork against the damn burn, that's gonna make it worse" Tidus said angrily. "Do you want your hands to get better? You could ruin your hands if it gets infected or something. It bled too much, when it was burnt! Okay, now that would really put you in tears, stop crying and chill!"

"Leave me alone!" Yuna yelled. "Just leave me alone, please?"

"Yuna, it's your damn hands, okay?" Tidus said, putting down the fork. In a softer tone he said, "I just don't want you using your hands,"

"How about you mind your own business," Yuna said in a whisper.

"I can hear you remember?" Tidus said.

Tears were once again forming in Yuna's eyes but it wasn't because of her hands. She looked over at the wall so he wouldn't see.

Tidus looked at her and said, "I'm sorry,"

"Sure you are," Yuna said with her voice cracking.

Rikku who had been silent while Yuna and Tidus had fought, then said, "Um it's kinda time to go you two,"

"Rikku be quiet," Tidus said softly.

Rikku just nodded and went to get Tidus and Yuna's bags.

The two of them just sat there in silence.

"I'm sorry, too," Yuna said then breaking the silence between the two of them.

"What for?" Tidus asked, "You didn't do anything,"

"I got mad at you for no reason though and you were right, that would hurt a lot worse," Yuna said smiling.

" Of course, I'm always right. And yeah you did, so now I'm mad at you," Tidus said turning away from her.

"Wait, are you really?" Yuna asked worriedly.

"No of course not, jeez you believe everything," Tidus said laughing at Yuna.

"That's cause I trust you I didn't expect you to lie to me," Yuna said seriously.

"Well, sorry, but Rikku's right we need to get going now," Tidus said with a smile, "And I'll help you finish eating." Tidus helped Yuna find a spot on her hands where the burn had healed up a bit, showed her how to hold the fork so it wouldn't move elsewhere. It slipped every now and then making Yuna wince when it touched her hand. Yuna finished eating and Rikku came back in the room with all of their bags on her shoulder.

"You guys all happy now?" Rikku asked dropping their bags on the floor.

They nodded and walked over to grab their bags. Tidus again, helps Yuna with hers. They all went out the door with Yuna stopping in-between Tidus' and Rikku's car. She looked at both of them.

"See you there Yuna," Tidus said climbing in his car, seeing Yuna was trying to make a decision between Rikku and himself.

Yuna looked at him and nodded, and then walked over to Rikku's car looking away from the both of them. Tidus started his car and was about to pull out of the driveway when Rikku held up a hand for him to wait. Rikku then walked over to Yuna.

"You don't want to ride with Tidus?" Rikku asked.

"He doesn't want me too," Yuna said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"If he didn't don't you think he would have pulled off already?" Rikku asked motioning towards Tidus who was messing with his radio.

"Yeah, but…." Yuna started.

"Yeah but nothing," Rikku said. "If you want to ride with him just go okay"

Yuna nodded and hugged her cousin and turned to Tidus. He gave her a strange look as she walked over to him with a smile. She stopped next to the passenger's seat of the car and waited. Tidus sighed, and reached over the seat and opened Yuna's door. She got in and Tidus reached over and shut it. He turned his car on and pulled out of the driveway with Rikku right behind him. While he drove, he took out his phone and dialed Gipple's number. It rang for a while until Gipple finally answered.

"Hey," Tidus said. "I was at Rikku's. No we didn't. I was with Yuna; she was at the hospital until like five this morning. Seriously, I'm not lying. I told you Dona was lying about that so shut up already. Yeah. Will do, see ya,"

"He was talking about me being a…" Yuna started.

"No, he was uh yeah he was but, I told him to shut it yesterday, those rumors must be pretty bad, huh?" Tidus said with a little smile. Yuna looked at him with question.

"What's funny about that?" Yuna said in her normal quiet tone, only with a tad of hurt in her voice.

Noticing Yuna's tone, Tidus said, "It's not funny, it's just Dona's so jealous of you, is doesn't make any sense," He said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"What's that mean?" Yuna asked.

"Nothing except that she has a reason to be, considering, you're a whole lot smarter, more fun, prettier…" Tidus said with another shrug and a smile.

"Okay, I get it," Yuna said with a smile. "But…. Never mind,"

Tidus just sighed. They drove in silence for a while until they reached the school and Tidus parked in the school parking lot. Yuna waited for him to come open her door for her as he got out. He came around and as he opened it Yuna stepped out and let out a sigh.

"I feel bad," Yuna said letting Tidus put her bag on her shoulder.

"Do you need to see the nurse?" Tidus asked with as much concern as possible.

"No, no, it's just that you're helping me and all that like you said about every little thing," Yuna said shaking her head.

"I'm okay with it. I mean it's not like I'm carrying ya around or something," He said with a smile. Rikku got out of her car and walked into the building with a wave to them and nothing else.

The two of them walked into the school and went to Yuna's locker first. Tidus was grabbing things from Yuna's bag and putting them in the locker when he heard Yuna gasp.

"What is it?" Tidus asked looking around.

"I didn't do my homework, I'm gonna be in big trouble when Uncle Cid finds out," Yuna said in a worried tone.

"You were in the hospital, they'll let you make it up," Tidus said with an amused smile, "They gave me an excuse for ya," His smile disappeared as a thought hit him. "Though they probably won't let me off the hook that easily."

"But you were with me," Yuna said as Tidus shut her locker and walked over to his. "They'll let you make it up right?"

"Not a chance," Tidus said grabbing his stuff. "Don't worry about it, it's only a couple of zeros."

"That could really bring down your grade though," Yuna said worriedly.

"Yeah, but just don't worry about though, I'll do some extra credit or something," Tidus said with a shrug.

"But Mrs. Taylor said one of those assignments counted as two test grades," Yuna said. Tidus just shrugged and shut his locker.

They walked towards their first class. The bell signaling it was time to head to class hadn't even rang when they got there. They stepped in and noticed the only ones in the room were Sora and Kairi. Tidus led Yuna to the back of the room next to Sora.

"Yeah, that doesn't make any sense at all huh?" Sora was asking Kairi as Yuna and Tidus sat down.

Kairi did nothing to react to Sora's question. She just sat looking away from him. Yuna smiled at how she had did the same to Tidus' question yesterday. Sora just turned away from her to Tidus.

"She pretty difficult," Sora said with a sigh.

"Yeah, she reminds me of someone else," Tidus said directing his gaze towards the girl behind him. Yuna just smiled and shook her head as she watched Kairi.

"Hey, have you and her ya knowed yet? Dona said it would be easy to get her to," Sora whispered in Tidus' ear.

"Man, shut the hell up, she's not like that, alright?" Tidus yelled as he stood and pushed Sora back.

"Sorry, jeez, the way you're being so defensive about it makes me think she is," Sora said jokingly.

"Sora," Tidus said dropping his voice to a whisper he sat down and said, "You might want to shut up,"

Yuna just sat and listened as they talked about her. She couldn't help but feel sad, until Tidus told Sora off, making her feel guilty about making the two fight. Yuna got up and walked over to a desk near Kairi. She decided to start a conversation to get her mind off of the rumors.

"Hey," Yuna said quietly enough for only Kairi to hear.

"Hi," Kairi said simply.

"Do you like Sora?" Yuna asked, as it was the first thing that popped into her head.

Kairi just gave a small smile and nodded, but then put her finger to her mouth to tell Yuna to keep it hush, hush. Yuna nodded and smiled at Kairi's actions.

"Do you like him?" Kairi asked pointing to Tidus. Yuna turned around and looked at Tidus who gave her a little wave. She returned the gesture and shook her head.

"No, he's just a friend," Yuna said simply.

"Right," Kairi said sarcastically.

"I'm serious!" Yuna said smiling playfully.

"Hey Yuna!" Tidus said motioning for her to return to his side. Yuna gave him a smile and Kairi a wave and got up and walked over to him.

"Yeah?" Yuna asked as she sat down.

"Nothing," Tidus said with a shrug.

"Can I ask you something?" Yuna asked. Tidus just nodded. "Is Sora single?"

"Don't tell me you like him," Tidus said with a smile.

"No, I just wanted to know," Yuna said, "What did you want to say?"

"I told you nothing," Tidus said with another shrug.

"Then why did you call me over here?" She asked.

"Just to mess with you, that and look out the door," Tidus said pointing to the door. Yuna looked out the door and saw Mr. Deaton outside talking to another teacher.

"Oh, thanks," Yuna said noticing she would have gotten in trouble if she hadn't been in her seat. Tidus just nodded as the bell rang and the other students walked in.

Class went by slowly. Tidus and Yuna went to their classes and finally made it to language arts before lunch. Tidus and Yuna were sitting together and Mrs. Taylor was collecting homework when she came to the two of them.

"Homework?" She asked holding out her hand.

"I was in the hospital until five this morning," Yuna said, Tidus held out the excuse the doctor gave him for Yuna.

"Thank you," She said taking it from him. "And how about you, Mr. Clark?"

"I uh, um," Tidus stuttered. "Don't have it on me?"

"You do realize you could fail this class if you don't turn it in today,"

"So, I don't care," Tidus said with a shrug.

"You will when you're kicked off the blitz team," She said sharply, "Do you have it or not?"

"No way, you can't do that!" Tidus said sitting up.

"No, but you're coach can,"

"He was with me," Yuna said before she could even think about her words. "Please let him make it up," Yuna said. "I asked him to stay with me, I didn't want to be alone, it wasn't his fault, it's not fair,"

"Is that true?" Mrs. Taylor asked Tidus.

"Yeah, I mean yes ma'am," Tidus said with a sound of relief in his voice.

"Fine, both of you, I want it tomorrow," She said walking away from the two of them.

Tidus gave a sigh and looked at Yuna. "What were you thinking you could have gotten in trouble for that ya know," He shook his head. "She never lets anyone talk to her like you just did, you'd have to say ma'am or something. She's strict you know?"

"Yeah, but you're still on the blitz team right?" Yuna whispered with a smile. Tidus gave her a smile and nodded. "You owe me now,"

"No, I don't, remember yesterday, and today, I'm still copying your notes for your little hurt hands," Tidus said.

"So," Yuna said with a shrug.

"You two," Mrs. Taylor said pointing to them, "Do you want detention?"

They both shook their heads. Mrs. Taylor turned back to the board. Tidus and Yuna looked at each other and smiled. They went through the period without talking and finally the lunch bell rang.
