Okay, back with a new chpt. I made a few slight adjustments to this chpt because the events I had planned I am saving for the next chpt mainly because the events just didn't fit into this chpt. So, please read on and enjoy.

Lenne and Yuna looked on in utter shock and horror at the bloody hand that laid just beyond the doorway. Yuna feared that was Tidus, however, her instinct told her otherwise. Fear rose within the girls as they heard footsteps approaching the bathroom as a shadow began to grow upon the wall. Unsure of who that could be, Yuna picked up her can of hair spray and inched her way towards the door and as soon as she seen facial features, she sprayed their eyes. The figure yelled out and Yuna soon came to realize whom she had just sprayed.

Yuna's mouth dropped and eyes widened. "Tidus?"

"Ahhh, man!" Tidus yelled out as he rubbed his eyes. "You always managed to blind me with your beauty, but this is going to far, Yuna." he also joked.

"Tidus, I'm so sorry!" Yuna cried out as she grabbed a wash cloth, turned the water on in the sink and wetted the cloth as she then scrambled over to Tidus and began to wipe his eyes.

Lenne watched the two and a smile played upon her features, for she just like Rikku, saw the connection between them. Yuna's concern for him and no matter how clumsy or crazy Yuna may be, he could never get mad at her. She then sighed. "Guys, take it outside. I want to bathe sometime here!" She then playfully smirked at them.

"Right." Yuna chuckled as Tidus focused in his eye sight a bit.

"Sorry, Lenne, but no can do." Tidus stated as his eye sight came into focus and he looked upon the girls. "You need to get dressed as of right now because this place has been officially sealed off."

"Why!" Lenne pondered.

Tidus rolled his eyes. "We had a breaking in, someone shot at me, and now that person is dead. This place is a crime scene. No one is to touch or to move anything. Put your bath robe on and exit out of here, Lenne."

Lenne sighed. "Is he always this bossy, Yuna?"

"Only when he thinks he's Sherlock Homes." Yuna taunted playfully as she looked at him. Tidus eyed her carefully as a smile played upon his features.

Seconds later. . .

As they left the bathroom, Tidus and Yuna turned their attention to the dead gunman that laid near them. Who was this man? What was he doing in the house? Why did he try to kill everyone and was that his intentions. Did someone send him or did he act alone?

Tidus sighed. "Time to get theboss in here."

"Is he dead?" Yuna pondered as she observed him. Tidus looked to Yuna, shook his head and snickered. Yuna's eyes shot open once she heard Tidus snickering at her. "What?" She then turned to him. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing. . . nothing." Tidus tried to lie, but the truth could be seen as plain as day on his face.

"You're laughing at me, aren't you?" Yuna asked.

"What makes you think that?" Tidus asked as he tried to hold back his laughter. Yuna then slapped his shoulder playfully. "I'll contact Auron." He then proceeded to head outside to radio Auron.

"Tidus- -" Yuna trailed off as Tidus stopped and looked towards her. "I was wondering. . ."

"What is it?" Tidus asked as he approached her.

"If you don't mind me asking. . ." Yuna continued to trail off as she hesitated to ask him what she wanted to ask him as her mind drifted.

Memory

Tidus placed his hand upon her cheek as he caressed it dearly. He then tilted her head up towards his own as Yuna looked deep into his eyes. And as he moistened his lips, he leaned in as he prepared to kiss her lips.

End Memory

"Yuna?" Tidus said as Yuna snapped out of her daydream.

The sides of Yuna's lips curved up a bit as she breathed a nervous sigh. "How far. . . would you have gone. . . if Lenne hadn't came home at the very moment?"

Tidus' eyes widened at the question. How was he suppose to answer that question without giving away his true feelings? Thinking fast, he bared a smile and decided to answer a question with a question. "How far were you willing to let me go if she hadn't?" He crossed his arms over his chest as he awaited her answer patiently.

Yuna couldn't believe what she had just heard. No matter how much she tried, Tidus almost always managed to have a come back statement and very rarely did he get the last word in. And she sure as hell wasn't about to let him get the better of her. Not this time. "Why don't we pick up where we left off at a later time?"

"How about right now?" Tidus asked as he leaned in closely to her as he barely met his lips with hers. Yuna was very much tempted to kiss those lips, however, refused to give in to herself. "There's only one thing that's in our way right now." He suggested with a tug to her shirt. "You want to know what it is?"

"What?" Yuna asked as she felt Tidus lean in closely to her ear. She could feel the heat of his breath upon her bare flesh and it was beginning to turn her on. Tidus noticed the change in her breathing and just had to grin at his accomplishment.

Tidus chuckled a bit before giving his answer. "A dead body." he whispered and Yuna immediately reacted as she pushed him away from her.

"Tidus!" Yuna proclaimed playfully. "You certainly know how to kill the mood."

"But I know ways beyond your wildest dreams of keeping it alive hour after hour." Tidus taunted in return.

"Next time we go to a club together lay off the drinks." Yuna suggested with a giggle.

Suddenly, the bloody hand that was lying motionless on the floor reached out and grabbed Yuna by the ankle. She squealed as she nearly jumped into Tidus' arms as they both looked at what was suppose to be a dead corpse. Tidus quickly stepped in front of Yuna, pushing him behind her as heretrieved his gun and aimed it straight at the guy's bloody face. The man narrowed his eyes at Tidus and Yuna as he then tried to speak.

"He will stop at nothing!" the man said in a raspy voice. "Death awaits you!" he then slowly lost grasp of life as he took his final breath. Tidus and Yuna didn't know what to think of the hit man's last words.
