Yo, yo home skillets- and such.

Ahh, it's great to be back at it again. As I'm sure some of you know I have been busy with con preparations and the like animaritimes was awesome and I'm still hunting don't pictures of me in my costumes. I was the short Itachi with the black rim glasses the first day, Near the second day and thief Rikku (Final Fantasy X-2) the third day. If anyone out there has a picture of me just let me know and there will be a special treat in it for you!

Anyway on with chapter two.

Disclaimer- If I did own Final Fantasy there would be a lot more yaoi that is all I can say.

"But, Fran," Penelo protested for the fifteenth time. This is getting so tiring.

"Yeah Fran! You can't 'just campout'!" Vaan exclaimed more loudly than needed. I winced and squeezed my eyes closed tightly, trying to make the ringing stop. All this arguing was beginning to get to me. "Fra-"

"Enough! Stop! She is staying with me!" Oh boy. He is definitely going to regret that.

I turned to look the Captain straight in the eye. He gave me a look that just screamed 'Don't refuse! For both of our sakes.' I just had to agree. I nodded hesitantly.

"That's settled then!" Balthier sighed happily, "Let's go get comfortable. Fran, if you please."

Nodding again, I handed out the keys. One to Balthier, one to Reks, and one to Penelo. I was left empty handed. I just stared dumbly at my open palm, entranced by the intricate lines on my hand. A small tap on my shoulder brought me back from Dream Land. I glanced up to find the owner of the hand in question. Captain Azelas. A rush of heat coursed through me. I groaned. They keep getting worse and worse. Voss- Captain Azelas nodded in the direction of the ritzy hotel and walked off. Another rush of shearing heat pulsed through me. This heat was much worse than the one I felt on the Shiva, much worse. My head began to spin, vision blurred and a sudden stab of pain ripped trough my chest. It was like having a dagger stabbed in to you and then having it painfully twisted, then pulled out with as much force as possible. I could feel myself begin to fall but I felt no impact. H...h...he....

~Vossler POV

Oh no, not good. Here I stand with an unconscious viera in my arms and crowds of people come to gawk at the odd spectacle. I shifted Fran's wait to my other side. I attempted to force my way through the thickening crowd, but to no avail.

"Vossler," I heard a booming voice shout over the crowd; Basch. Excellent, he can help me out of this mess.

"Basch!" I shouted in response. My blond haired companion shoved his way brutally through the swarm of people and gazed at the odd sight with a confused look.

"And what happed here?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and grunted out a 'never mind that now'. As light as Fran is, she can begin to way down ones arms after too long. Basch took the viera from my arms with ease; Fran's head fell from Bach's upper arm and swung back and forth slightly. Oh boy, this is going to be interesting, I thought as I marched through the buzzing crowd on the heels of my friend. As we neared the door of the hotel, I sped my walking up a bit and opened the door to allow Basch and Fran better access to the lobby. Vaan, Reks and Penelo were waiting for us patiently. The lintier waiting room fell in to a deathly silence. Their eyes were burning holes in my armor. I shifted uncomfortably as Balthier approached me. He raised an eyebrow at me and simply shook his head and walked away. Next, Vaan came bounding toward me.

"And what did you do to her?" he asked me with fire in his eyes.

"Nothing, I swear. We were walking towards the hotel, she started convulsing and she just dropped." I know that sounds like a bad way to put it, especially because I was talking to the kid who was like a son to her but I couldn't think of any other way.

"Just dropped, sure," Vaan gave me a look of 'and do I look like I was born yesterday?'. I was about to answer but Reks beat me to it.

"Vaan, I'm sure that the Captain had nothing to do with it. She dropped once already. Remember?" Thank the gods that looks couldn't kill; if they could I would be dead on the spot.

The young blond stormed away from me, marching up the stairs toward his room. I looked over at Basch, who looked extremely uncomfortable with an unconscious viera in his arms.

"Basch," I said opening my arms slightly offering to take Fran's limp form. He nodded his head in thanks before he handed her over and walked over to the Princess.

I walked up the stairs to the third floor where my room was located, mindful not to wake the slumbering viera in my arms. I counted the rooms as I walked through the hall: 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, and finally 31, my room, and Fran's as well now. Leaning Fran up against the wall, I searched for my keys and believe me it was no easy task. The sleeping viera never even twitched as I opened the door. I sighed. This should be interesting, as I surveyed the room. One king size bed with might-night blue linens, an oak night stand on ether side of the bed, two large might-night blue high-back arm chairs, an oak door leading to the bathroom and one other leading to another room. I sighed and walked up to the bed, placing the slumbering woman down on the cushiony bed.

'This isn't going to work out very well.' I thought glumly to myself as I sat on the edge of the bed, placing my head in my hands. Fran suddenly jolted up behind me, shaking the bed slightly. She was sitting upright, completely tense; she was trembling violently, though the redness of her face showed evidence of her being uncomfortably hot. Her small trembles became full blown convulsions and tears began to leak from her scarlet eyes. Before it could register what I was doing, I was leaning against the headboard, my arms wrapped around Fran as I rocked gently, like consoling a small child.

I continued to rock her back and form and rub small circles on her back in an attempt to calm her for over an hour and the trembling and sobbing just seemed to worsen.

'What is going on with her?' I wondered silently as I continued to stroke her long snow white hair in an attempt to calm her.

"Go... get....Vaan," she gasped out slowly. I looked down at her sweaty, red face and found a pleading look in her scarlet eyes.

I nodded and stood up with the trembling viera in my arms. I placed her gently on the plush bed and reluctantly made my way to the door with one last look at the woman on the bed before I left the room in search of the young, blond boy.

"What room number?" I asked aloud as I began to panic slightly. I rushed down the long straight hall of the third floor. I turned the corner on the ball of my foot and collided with something soft and warm.

"Vossler?" the small road block asked in a soft, worried voice. I looked down confused. The road block was Penelo.

"Vossler, what's wrong? Is it Fran?" She asked again, looking up at me, eyes brimmed with unshed tears of worry. I nodded vigorously.

"She started crying and shaking. She is running a slight fervor from what I can tell. She told me to come get Vaan but I can't remember what room he is in," I slurred out in one sharp breath.

She nodded in understanding and motioned for me to follow her with a swift hand motion. I followed her mindlessly down a set of stairs and down another hallway. When we reached the fifth room at the end of the corridor Penelo stopped without any sign and I tripped in my attempt to not knock the petite blond over. She opened the heavy door to the room without even so much as a sound, revealing the owners of the room in a compromising position. Both parties pulled apart from the tight embrace and looked at us with a look of contempt.

"What?" the small blond boy snapped looking out at us from under his brother.

"Vaan, its Fran. Something is wrong with her and she's asking for you" Penelo said. Her voice held a sharp uneasy edge to it.

Vaan's eyes widened and he pushed Reks off of him.

"Where is she?"

And there you have it. I like bumbling and panicky Vossler he was fun to write like that.

I have a treat for all of you! Because I am in such a good mood, I feel like giving something back to all you that review.

-clears through- Drum roll please! I'm going to take story 'commissions' of sort, I won't make you pay or anything (but if you would like to draw me something I would love that. JKJK). Because I know have ideas that I want to do sometimes but I would enjoy reading them more than writing them. Any anime/manga, movie, book, game, t.v show or whatever. I do yaoi, yuri or straight pairing and pretty much any genre. So if you have any ideas just drop me a PM, tell me in a review or you can reach me at (darkdisaster_(at)hotmail(dot)com).

Lots of love darkdisaster16
