**Chapter 6**

After a while the group had found the flat and had stopped for a moment so as Yuna and Rikku could recognise their surroundings. The girls stared up at the tall tower in front of them, like most buildings in Zanarkand it had many levels. As the gathering dusk approached, several lights had appeared in windows, illuminating the objects around them. Lenne was now leading the way towards the front door while the rest of the group were left to carry Rikku's large suitcases.

'There are a few other people in the flat with us, just three. They are quite friendly when you get to know them. Two of them are serious and the other, well... you'll see!' Lenne smiled.

Once they were inside, Lenne called the elevator. A few seconds later the doors opened with a slight ping, and the group entered. Lenne then pushed another button to indicate which floor they were to arrive on. As the small elevator began to rise Yuna began to feel worried about meeting all these new people. In Besaid she had lived with same few people the whole of her life, but now she would meet hundreds more. Lenne saw the look on her face and whispered,' don't worry, you will be fine'. Yuna feebly smiled at her just as the lift stopped. The others in front of her piled out of the small room before she helped shove out one of the large, green cases. They walked down a long corridor until they reached room 127. Lenne took out a small key, pushed it into a brass lock and turned it to the left. The brown door creaked open noisily and as she walked ahead of the others, Lenne called inside,' hello! Were back and we have company'.

Shuyin and Rikku lifted the first case over the threshold leaving the last outside with Yuna and Tidus. Graciously, he lifted his arm to gesture for Yuna to pass first. She smiled and helped him drag the case into the flat before he shut the noisy door.

Yuna turned to survey the room she was in. It was large with two corridors leading in opposite directions. From the one to her right two girls dressed in dark clothes emerged from the shadows, while an orange haired man turned around in his seat to see who had arrived.

'Yuna, Rikku this is Paine, Lulu and Wakka. You guys these are my friends from Besaid,' Lenne said.

'Hi', Paine nodded.

'Hello', Lulu said in a calm voice.

'Hey girlies! How ya doin'?' Wakka cried.

'Hello', Yuna and Rikku smiled together.

'I'll show you to your room, come on', Lenne said as she walked off down the right hand corridor. Yuna and Rikku followed still dragging the cases with the guy's help. Lenne opened one of three doors in the hall and let the four others pass.

'This is your room, I'm also in here. Lulu and Paine are opposite and down the hall is the bathroom. Down the other hall is the guy's room and a spare room, and the large room is the kitchen and living room. The fridge is full so if your hungry go get anything you want and we'll be around if you need us. We'll leave you to it.' Shuyin, Tidus and Lenne all left the room so Rikku and Yuna were alone.

'Pick a bed Rikku', Yuna sighed.

'Okay...uh...this one!' she said, leaping onto the one in the middle of the room.

'I guess I'm going here then, Yuna laughed and headed to the one furthest away from the door and with a window next to it.

Yuna spent the next half an hour unpacking her stuff and was done before Rikku had even finished one suitcase. So, Yuna wandered into the living room and sat down on the sofa next to Lenne. She didn't notice Tidus leaning against the pillar next to the kitchen until she answered a question Wakka had asked her. She was truly beautiful, but when she looked up and smiled at him his breath caught in his throat and he had to look away. Flustered he looked at his boots, trying not to smile then walked off to his room. He didn't see the slightly hurt look on her face when he turned his back on her and strutted off into the shadows.

Two hours later, Rikku emerged looking very pleased with herself for packing both cases. She headed straight to the fridge and gulped down a glass of juice then flumfed down on the sofa next to Yuna, who was conversing with Lenne. The old horror movie that was being repeated on the small tv was being ignored by all who were talking, everyone was here except Tidus. Yuna noticed this and excused herself before silently padding down the left-hand hall, curious to see where he was hiding.

When she reached the two rooms she knocked on the left one. Upon hearing a 'come in', she silently opened the door to see the mystery man himself lying on his back, hands behind his head staring up at the ceiling.

'Hi', Yuna said quietly. Hearing her voice Tidus looked at her surprised and quickly sat up, obviously not expecting company.

'Um, is it okay if I come in?'

'Uh, yeah, sure! I mean... yes', the words seemed to be tumbling out of his mouth.

'Thanks, so...what are you doing?' Yuna asked, closing the door behind her.

'Just thinking...about, er, stuff. There isn't much to do here so I come in here to be alone. What about you?'

'Talking to Lenne, watching bits of a useless old movie, nothing much else. I just wondered where you were,' Yuna confessed.

'Oh', Tidus seemed surprised that Yuna had even given him thought. Noticing she was standing still, he jumped up making room on his bed,' sorry, do you want to sit down?'

'Thankyou', Yuna gratefully accepted and sat down.

Then the silence drifted over them.

Thankfully Tidus broke it asking,' do you like blitzball?' he instantly scolded himself for asking such a ridiculous question, but what surprised him was that she answered almost excitedly.

'Yes! I always watch the matches on s.v! But our local team the Besaid Aurochs were useless. They haven't won a game in ten years!'

Tidus smiled. At least they had one thing in common.

'I saw you training today...do you play for a team?'

'I...I used to play for the Zanarkand Fins at my old school, but now I want to play for the Abes! They're the major team in Zanarkand,' he confessed.

'Yeah, I've seen them play. They are really good! I'm sure you'll make it.' With that comment Tidus looked up into Yuna's enchanting eyes.

'Y'think?'

'Sure.'

He paused, just to find words to reply to her. 'Thanks...' would have been all he'd wanted to say to her, but he couldn't somehow. Changing the subject entirely when he felt his heart begin to race he looked away and told her,' school starts in a few days. Maybe we could give you a tour of the city to help you find your way'.

'That would be great. I think that Rikku will appreciate it too. This place is so large compared to Besaid! I'm terrified I'm going to get lost!' Yuna laughed.

Tidus couldn't help but smile as he looked down at the bed covers.

'YUNA! Where are you?'

'Rikku...' she sighed exasperatedly.

'You should go see what she wants' Tidus muttered as if reluctant to let her go.

'Well, now I know where you disappear to, I may visit you again', Yuna rose from the bed and headed towards the door,' It was nice talking to you,' she said looking into his eyes before slipping out of the door.

'Night', Tidus whispered after Yuna left, a smile visible on his handsome face.
