Chapter 6
Here is chapter 6 everyone. Chapter 7 is right behind it. Sorry for the delay in things.
==============================================================
Tidus patted the back of Zidane's head softly as he held them close. "It's okay." he murmured.
"Zidane," Blank said sinking to his knees. He was trembling slightly. "I'm sorry."
Zidane slowly looked over his shoulder. "Why?"
"For always giving you false hope."
Zidane wiped his eyes and smiled at Blank. "No. It was what I needed then. But deep down, I knew. Sorry guys."
Blank stood slowly and nodded. Tidus slung his arm around Zidane's shoulders. "Feel better?"
The younger boy nodded and his tail swished slightly. "That's right! We have to go to Yuna's!"
Blank smiled happily to see him bounce back so quickly. "Move out, guys." He said moving to the door. Soon, everyone was in the car and they rode in a comfortable silence to Yuna's. Until they pulled into the driveway.
"KEYMON!" Rikku wailed dashing over to the car.
"Quite down girl. The dinosaurs can hear ya. Noisy daughter o'mine." A tall man said stepping up with a grin.
"Nice to see you Cid." Blank said stepping out of the car.
"Hmm. Blank, you've grown a bit."
"So any ideas what's going on?" Zidane asked staying close to Tidus.
"I believe it is about living arrangments for that young man," A large woman with skin so pale it was almost blue said coming up the walk with Dagger close in tow.
"Mayor Brahne?! Even you were called?" Blank said with a look of shock on his face. It was a big deal to see the mayor away from her office.
"Why should I not be? I do care about my daughter's, Garnet's, friends." she said with a humph.
"Daughter? Garnet?" Tidus and Zidane said together.
Dagger waved meekly from beside the woman. "That would be me."
"Wow. That's news," Zidane said looking at Blank.
"You didn't know that?" Paine said walking up. A pale man with long tasseled black hair was walking with her.
"Nope." Zidane said looking over the new person. "Wooeryou?"
Rikku popped up over the man's shoulders. "This is Vincent. Isn't he hot?"
"Dude. That's my brother," Paine said pushing Rikku away.
Yuna appeared in the door wearing a very abnormal outfit. It had long sleeves and a pleated skirt, while the top was almost like a kimono. "Please come in."
She lead them all into the living room. Awaiting was a woman in an even more unusual dress. It had fur trim around the neckline while the front seem made of many overlapping belts.
"Sit," the woman commanded, "I have gathered you all to discuss the current living arrangements of Tidus. As Yuna's guardian..."
"Wait, guardian?" Zidane interrupted rudely.
"Sorry Lulu. I never told him." Blank said rubbing the back of his head.
"Lulu adopted Yuna many years ago after her parents died," Brahne explained.
"Go on Lu." Cid said.
"As I was saying, I am uncomfortable with him staying here any longer. I am sorry Tidus, it is nothing personal. I feel the same about any young man."
"Arrangements have been made." Blank said curtly.
"They have?" Lulu said looking slightly taken aback.
"Yes. He will stay with me." Zidane said quietly and scooting just a little closer to Tidus.
Lulu examined him for a moment, before she, surprisingly, smiled. "I am sorry for the inconvenience I have put on you all then."
All the youngsters exchanged a puzzled look. Cid and Brahne exchanded a frightened glance.
"Well, since you are all here." Lulu said turning her back so they could not see her evil grin."Why don't we help pack up his things?"
A collective sigh issued forth, but Lulu quickly stifled it with a look that said "disobey me and I will turn you all into frogs". Soon people set to work. After an hour or so of surprisingly cheery work, a small moogle doll brought out a tray of brownies, quickly followed by a cait sith with a platter of lemonade. "Snack Time!" Lulu called.
As each person grabbed a brownie and glass of lemonade, Zidane looked closely at the creatures.
"Those are Lulu's dolls." Yuna explained.
"Dolls?"
"Yes. I used a complex series of magical processes to animate them to follow my commands." Lulu said almost boastful.
"Lu is on of the best black mages around." Cid said chomping on his brownie.
"She is also the magic teacher at the school." Blank supplied.
"Wow. That is pretty cool." Zidane said poking his tail at the moogle.
"Ey Lu! Where'd ya go, yah?" A tan man said coming down the stairs. He was wearing yellow boxers and his red hair was a mess. He stopped and looked at the looked at the living room full of people. "Oh. Yo."
"Hey Wakka.." Tidus said with a wave.
"Ey Tidus! Long time no see yah?"
"A little bit more then we would like to see." Rikku said shielding her eyes.
"Oh sorry." Wakka said with a wave before running back upstairs.
"Lulu and Wakka are seeing each other," Yuna said slightly embarrassed for Wakka.
"Or at least knocking boots," Paine said with a half smile. Lulu shot her a look, and she gulped. "Alright. Back to work everyone."
Slowly but surely everyone got back to work packing and moving boxes. After another hour everything was packed and loaded into the car.
"Thank you for all your help everyone," Lulu said to all the group which was now assembled on the front lawn.
"Thank you for letting me stay here as long as you did." Tidus said sticking his land out.
Lulu took it in hers and placed her other hand over it. "I hope you understand."
"I do," Tidus said with a smile.
"Woo. I'm bushed," Cid said folding his arms behind his head.
"As am I. Let's retire for the day." Brahne added.
Rikku and Brother ran over to Cid. "See ya later." They said as they walked off.
Dagger walked over to Brahne. "Bye."
Paine and Vincent simple nodded and started off.
"Tournament tomorrow. Don't be late!" Yuna called out to everyone.
"Got it."
"Yes."
"You can count on me Yunie!"
Blank started at her for a moment. Yuna returned the stare. "What?"
"That was my line." Blank said, before they both burst out laughing. "See you tomorrow Yuna. Goodbye Lulu."
"Good luck tomorrow. They will make a cute couple." Lulu said with a wave. Zidane and Tidus looked puzzled as the three got in the car, and started the drive home.
