"D-don't let go…" She whispered in a barely audible whisper. I was quickly able to notice how much her petite body was shaking. She was holding onto my shirt with such strength, as if this was her last chance to do so.

"Yuna…what's wrong?" I found myself whispering as well. I really had no idea as how to react. She had suddenly hugged me with so much affection…it had put me in some state of numbness. Yuna had never shown this much sorrow in front of me. I mean, she was the one that had taught me how to smile even when I was sad…She cried in front of me a couple weeks ago in the spring, yet now…it was as if the pain was too much to hold it all in.

"Just…please hold me."

She started crying now and with each sob my heart broke more and more. I did as she told me to and held her in my arms. What was going on? Maybe she was sick? She felt pretty cold considering it was a warm spring day out. Her head nuzzled on my chest sending a chain of shivers down my spine. The sobs had almost completely stopped but I still looked around the camp site looking for the others. Where the hell was everyone! Yuna was somehow traumatized and every single one of her guardians except for him was gone! A couple more loud sobs came from the girl in my arms before stopping altogether. I bent down and kissed her neck softly in a desperate attempt to comfort the poor thing. Her shaking lessened after I did this and I rested my chin on her shoulder, softly stroking my head against hers.

"Yuna…" I repeated myself "What's wrong…?"

"You'll stay with me, won't you?" She asked, ever so softly into my ear.

I pulled away from her embrace while still holding on to her. Her eyes were full of worry and doubt. I chuckled a bit and then bent to gently kiss her lips.

"Until forever and beyond, silly." I stated looking at her with loving eyes. She knew this, didn't she? She shouldn't think that he was ever going to leave her. That was ridiculous. I saw her smile sadly and nod.

"Is that all my beautiful summoner was worried about?" I pulled her back into my arms. Strangely enough she seemed to struggle with the question.

"Anything else on your mind?" I asked a little more seriously this time.

"No…" Her voice seemed a little uncomfortable. "Thanks…for making me feel better."

I smiled at her answer and gave her a little peck on the cheek.

"No problem."

My Yuna…always worried about the littlest of things.
