*****Going Under*****
YunaxAuron
((A/N: Characters © to Squaresoft, not me. Yeah, I said I don't like Yuna with anyone. But I got this idea, and that led to my super duper YXA obsession! Hey... I warned ya... :))
Yuna reached out into nothing again. She had been standing near the Moonflow for hours now, simply watching the swirls in the water. There were tears in her eyes as she cried for the ones she lost in the final battle against Sin.
Sometimes she would cry for Tidus. She had truly thought she loved him, but the longer she thought about it, the more she wondered if he had only been a confidante whom she trusted.
"Was it love or was it trust?" Yuna whispered softly to herself. She knew Tidus had loved her, and knew she had given him a part of her, whether or not she loved him or not.
She also cried for Auron. Unlike Tidus, Auron was a real person. Tidus was just a dream. The image of Yunaleska striking him down with one mighty blow stuck with her forever. She saw it in her nightmares and in her dreams. In her dreams, she was there to save him. In her nightmares, she was not.
Auron had protected her father as well as he had protected her. Except he was alive, then. Auron had been dead for ten years. Unsent. Yuna wondered what it was like to be unsent. Was it possible to die again? Did he breathe air? And why did she have to send him?
That was another moment that stuck with Yuna. When she sent Auron. She had wanted to stop, but he told her not to. Said it had been too long. And with that he was gone. Yuna had practically lost her mind there, but after Tidus was gone too, she didn't think she could take anymore.
Rikku had helped her deal with what had happened, until she left to help rebuild Home. That was a month ago, and Yuna hadn't heard a thing from her since. It wasn't like her cousin to just drop out of her life like that. Rikku would have at least written a note to her by then. But nothing came, day by day. Wakka got so worried that he set off to Bikanel Island with some of the other Aurochs to help out, but they found nothing. Cid told them that she was fine, but that they couldn't see her.
Plus, Lulu had been staying in a temple for a while. She was trying to "find salvation". She had lost a lot as well. Yuna knew that Lulu had a secret crush on Tidus, but refused to pursue him because of how Yuna felt.
Yuna looked back up towards the sky then, and saw that it appeared the stars were dancing. It was bizarre, to see almost every star in the sky moving. They seemed to be moving in a circle, resembling the movement of a twister. Yuna reached up, and it felt as if she could grab a star with her hands, but she knew she was far away from anything she could reach.
The ground shook slightly then, and for a moment, Yuna thought she had imagined it. Then, she looked towards the Moonflow. It was shooting upward. Spinning like a tornado, it began to mimic the stars' actions. Yuna felt as if the ground was pulled out from under her. She could have sworn that a leather-gloved hand pulled her up as she fell unconscious.
