A LOVING HOPE

SHAKKO

It had been a week since Yuna had met Tidus but she hadn't been able to escape the castle because her father' had tightened security alought so it was impossible to leave without geting susspected but Rikku got out just fine cause she wasn't a princess like Yuna so she told Tidus about how Yuna couldn't leav the castle without bodyguards but he had said it was okay although he had said that he mised her. Every time she went out for to pray for the people she would see him at the front of the crowd and whenever no one was looking he would blow her a kiss and she would do the same, only Cloud seemed to notice this happening and everytime they had finished he would ask her who she was blowing kisses to but she would always reply saying "I was blowing kisses to everyone so they would like me abit more," and that was that but this day was different.

"Yuna would you come in here please" Lord Sephiroth said not looking up from his desk.

"Yes father what do you want?" Yuna asked every curios this was the first time her father had summond her by himself he had normally have sent Cloud or her uncle Cid.

"I just wanted you to know tha you are to be wed n a week to Prince Seymour from the Guado Tribe you should remember him from their visits." Lord Sephiroth said finally looking at her.

"But I don't ant to get married yet father I want to become a summoner like Lord Braska was plus I'm stll to young father. Oh please don't let me get married." Yuna begged she did remmber Prince Seymour and she also remembered that he was cruel and ill tempered not to mention ugly.

"I will hear none of this or your little street rat friend will die." Lord Sephiroth said angrily almost yelling at her.

"What do you mean street rat friend who are you talking about?" Yuna asked trying not to be suspisous and to make sure Tidus was not killed.

"The one you wer with last week Cloud told me all about him and he will be easy to find because none of the en here have a combination of blond hair and blue eyes except Cloud and young Tidus if I recall." Lord Sephiroth said grinning evily at Yuna.

"Don't you dare hurt Tidus!" Yuna yelled at him almost crying that her father knew about him..

"I wouldn't dream of hurting him if you marry Prince Seymour but if you disagree he will be hung for kidnapping the princess." Lord Sephiroth said.

"But he didn't kidnap me I ran away. Please father don't harm Tidus he has done nothing wrong I just ran into him and he showed me around father that is all tat happened so please don't hrt him." Yuna was on the verge of tears she couldn't believe Lord Sephiroth knew Tidus of all people she just hoped her pleading worked.

"Like I said I wouldn't dream of hurting him unless you agree to marry Seymour." Lord Sephiroth said smirking because he knew that Yuna woudn't wantTidus to get hurt.

"Ok I'll do it but please don't hurt Tidus." Yuna said looking down crying.

"Alright then no harm shall come upon him you may leave." Lord Sephiroth said waving his hand to dismiss her but Yuna was already out the door.

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive.'

Tidus was once againat the front of the crowd because Lord Sephiroth had an announcement to make and Tidus knew it couldn't be good.

"People of the Besaid Tribe I have a very special announcement to make. My daughter Princess Yuna and Prince Seymour of the Guado Tribe are getting married so get all your wedding gear together for the wedding in two weeks. Thank you for coming to this announcement you are all dismissed." Lord Sephiroth ended walking away with Cloud at his side.

I knew I didn't like the sound of an annoucement but for poor Yuna to get married that is a shocker maybe I can sneak up to ask her about it but I'll need Rikku's help with this one.' Tidus thought and looked up at poor Yuna because she always left last she looked down at Tidus wih a sad expression while mouthing I'm sorry' down to him and walked away with her uncle Cid.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.'

When Yuna got back into the castle the first place sh went was straight to her room she just didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment not even Rikku she despritlywanted to get out of the wedding but knew Tidus would be hung for a crime he didn't commit because of Cloud the no good son of a b ratting out on her just to keep his job how she hated Cloud at the moment but she hated Lord Sephiroth the most first he killed her father, then her mother, suddenly she is getting married and to top it all off she was getting black mailed by Sephiroth into the marriage which she never wanted because Prine Seymour was the worst Prince ever he was a spoilt brat, evil to what was left of her family justbecause they were Al Bhed and he had made fun of her only friends Paine, Lulu and Wakka now nun of them wanted to come around anymore all because of him.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.'

As Tidus and Rikku discussed was of getting into the castle what they didn't know was that someone was listening, and that someone was Cloud he had been evesdropping for quite sometime and was getting alot of information when suddenly he heard a growl from behind him but he didn't have time to turn around because as soon as he moved something was biting him in the back and clawing at his arms he could only yell for help when suddenly the clawing and biting stopped and he could hve sworn he heard a flute playing in the distance then he hard a howl and whatever had attacked him ran towards the flute.

"Cloud are you okay you look hurt here let us help you back to the castle." A voice above him said which he knew belonged to Rikku.

Suddenly he was hoisted up between Rikku and a young man around 18 then suddenly he was being forced to walk back to the castle when he got there he was surprised to see Yuna run up to the young man and hug him but let it slip cause the young man had helped him but whenever they got inside they were soon standing infront of a furious Sephirtoh.

"Where have you been Rikku?!" He yelled glaring at Tidus.

"I was out for a walk and came across Cloud like this and me and Tidus helped him back." Rikku answered calmly looking at Yuna.

"We will discuss this in the morning in the mean time idus you may stay here for the night if you wish this will be your reward for helping Cloud but only for tonight you will also be fed and watered." Lord Sephiroth said calming down a little but he wanted answers.

"Thank you sir." Tdus said bowing as best he could while still hoding Could.

"Until tomorrow then you three will come to my office." Lord Sephiroth said looking at Cloud, Rikku and Tidus.

"Yes sir." All three replyed.

"Until tomorrow then goodnight." And with that Lor Sephiroth went off to his quartors.

"You have to tell me what happened when we get Cloud into his room." Yuna said walking infront of the others.

"Of course whatever you say Yunie." Rikku said slightly giggling.

"This is Cloud's room here" Yuna said pointing to the room at the end of the row of rooms.

"Thanks this guy is heavier than he looks." Rikku said sighing under what little of Cloud's weight she was holding but she could hardly complain because poo Tidus had the most.

When they had left Cloud in his room Yuna lead Tidus to one of the guest rooms for him to stay in then she suddenly turned around with a look if determination in her eyes.

"What happened to him or do you not know?" Yuna asked.

"We don't know we were just wondering how to get me in to see you when suddenly we heard someone yelling for help so ofcourse we ran but by the time we got there whatever had attacked him had ran into the bushes." Tidus said looking a bit puzzled.

"Whats your end of the story couz?" Yuna asked looking at Rikku.
"It's pretty much the same as Tidus'." Rikku answered looking away but in thougt about something or other.

"Did you see anything?" Yuna asked looking at both Rikku and Tidus.

"I saw something white running away from us but that was about it. I personally think it was a stray dog cause it was to big to be a cat." Tidus said looking at Yuna.

"I honestly didn't see anything." Rikku said still thinking.

"Well I guess I'll see you two tomorrow good night." Yuna said giving Tidus a quick kiss before leaving.

"I'll have to go to good night Tidus." Rikku said getting up to follow Yuna.

"Good night." Tidus said taking off his shoes before going to sleep.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.'

"Ma cherie you really shouldn't do that to the poor people." A male voice said while petting what seemed like an ordinary white dog. All the man got was whine from the dog.

"Promise moi not to do it again?" The man asked and he got a nod for it.

"There was nothing innocent about him I say you should have let furball hear tear him to shreds ya half-baked prophet!" An angry voice yelled from atop the dogs head.

"But you see my little bouncing friend that I could not let that happen for it is not to happen." The man said petting the dog.

"Just go to sleep and let furball do all the work." The voice came again.

"Only after you my little bouncing friend let ma cherie sleep." The man said and soon they were all asleep with the dog's head upon anothers.
