Life of the Blitzed

a/n: Aaaaaaaaah it's been so long! Sorry guys! Every time someone would review, I'd resolve to write like 50 chapters that night, and then came the homework (damn you, physics!!!!). And then I got FFXII. And then I was in a play. And then I went on a downloading-music spree. And then… yea, it just goes on like that. SOOOO I've decided to post (for real) like 50 chapters tonight. And by 50 I mean like 3. Huzzah. This one is super short, but there's another like two already written that I plan to edit and post NOW. Take that, disease-called-cronic-procrastination! Spanish homework is for sissies anyways. I just hope you guys are still with me, here! sorry again!

Chapter 3: Teachers are Creepy and Tidus is Cute

The High Summoner's daughter sat on the steps of LAHS, waiting for Auron. She had rushed as fast as she could after seventh period… to wait.

Someone hit her on the back of the head, causing here to spin around. However, the delinquent had slid past her down the railing, shooting her a 'V for Victory' sign with his tan fingers. "T-Tidus!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" he laughed, hopping off the rail at the bottom. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Oh, just waiting for Auron."

Tidus raised his eyebrows, but didn't ask to Yuna's relief. "Then we'll be waiting for a while, I guess." Yuna didn't miss the 'we'. "My old man's with Auron… that guy seemed pretty mad when he came for Jecht."

Tidus bounded up the stairs, his silver chains and necklace bearing the Zanakand Abes symbol jingling. He sat sprawled, leaning his elbows against his relaxed knees. Yuna looked over to notice a Zanarkand symbol earring in his ear.

"So, who's Shuyin?" Yuna asked, trying to make conversation.

Tidus was taken aback. He turned to face Yuna, "What, you don't know? What planet do you live on?" he changed his explanation as he saw Yuna redden. "He's… my cousin, also teammate on the Zanarkand Abes. He lives with me and Jecht, since his parents got in an airship wreck and all other relatives have keeled over. He's a year older, but he has this habit of doing everything I do."

Tidus shifted his position on the stone steps, leaning backwards on his elbows with one knee bent. "So what about you? Why're you in Luca?"

"Oh, umm, my father is Lord Braska… I guess we moved from Besaid for 'business reasons', then. Braska decided that I grew out of Besaid, so to speak, so he took me to work this time. I'll probably stay here- once he has to move somewhere else- by myself. Ever since my mother died, I've been on my own, so it's not that big a deal."

Tidus was silent for a while, watching the people walk by, then leaning further back to look at Yuna. "That sucks," he said blankly. "Do you play Blitzball?"

"Wha-?!" the sudden switch nearly caused Yuna to fall off her step. Where had that come from? "Geez, talk about a one-track mind!" she giggled, still amazed.

"What? What's so bad with what I said?!" He sat up, crossing his arms.

She continued to giggle. "I try, at least. I have no idea if I'm any good, and I've never played in a real sphere pool."

"Wow, I don't think I could live without Blitz! What? I'm serious!" Yuna was laughing at him now.

Jecht and Auron walked down the stairs, watching the pair. "Oh, no" murmured Auron, causing them to turn around in their seats. "We're leaving now, Yuna. I don't want Braska to know you've been exposed to this bad influence while in my care." He grabbed Yuna by the wrist, dragging her off.

"Bye!" Yuna called over her shoulder. When Tidus tried to wave, Jecht hit him upside the head. "Kid, kid, what am I supposed to do with you without your ma around?"

After a few minutes of walking, Yuna stopped dead in her tracks. "Auron!" the wide-eyed girl gasped, "Guns! I have to buy a pair for Sir Jecht's class!" Auron shook his head. "Let's go, then."

Once in the shop, Yuna waited by the door as Auron made the purchase. He handed her the box on the way out.

Yuna opened the double doors to her home, stepping inside and calling her father's name. Auron followed behind her.

"Yuna! How was… Auron? What are you doing here!"

The two men clapped each other on the back and proceeded towards the living room.

"Yuna, could you go out and get some things from the grocery store? We have to catch up…"

"Sure thing, Dad."

Yuna grabbed a black drawstring bag with the Besaid Aurochs symbol on it as well as the long list of groceries pinned on the wall. Knowing her dad, Yuna would have a lot of time.

After buying the things she needed from the store, Yuna walked to the public sphere pool. It was dark and no one was there, so Yuna changed- once in the locker room- into the white bikini from her bag and brought her beaten-up blitz ball into the sphere of water. She practiced for a couple of hours, unaware of the person watching her from the stands.

a/n: The ending is slightly creepy, yes. But mystery person!! Gotta keep things interesting! Feel free to guess at who it is… and I promise it's not a rapist.
