Disclaimer: I don«t own Auron, Tidus, Yuna or any of the characters of Final Fantasy X.
They all belong to Squaresoft; only Aya is my little creation. I«m just using them for a
little fic. Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Please read and review! I would love to read your
reviews! But now: Enjoy!


~*~Aurons secret~*~

Yuna looked up into the sky. Her eyes were fixed at the tiny clouds, which were moving
slowly. Suddenly she felt a shadow falling on her face. She turned to the side and saw a
girl of sixteen years with brunette hair which was a bit longer than Yunas; she smiled at
her and held a little bag right under her nose. "Hi Aya! Nice to see you again."
Yuna stood up and hugged the girl. "Yeah. It«s been a long time. I«m just glad that you
have found some time for me. I didn«t know where you were. The only thing that the
servant of your father could tell me, was, that you were on a journey." Yuna looked down at
the ground. "I«m sorry. But you know, what is going on. If nothing is done soon, Sin will
destroy the whole of Spira!" Aya nodded. "Now, Yuna-chan. Will you take my present or
do I have to stay here for hours?" Yuna smiled, shook her head and took the bag.
When she opened it, she saw a necklace which was made of pure silver. "Oh my god, Aya!
Did you rob a bank? This was very expensive, wasn«t it?" Aya looked at her as if she was
angry, but it was just for fun. "Yuna, I«m always surprised by what you«re thinking of me."
Yuna laughed. "You know what Aya? My father always said, that if the chance is right,
you should do things immediately." Aya looked at her with a puzzled look. "What do you
mean Yuna-chan?" Yuna smirked. "I«m going to meet Tidus and my other friends. So why
don«t you come with me? I will introduce you to everyone." "Well, okay then lets go!"

Yuna and Aya walked about ten minutes; then they were in the center of the city.
"Tidus and the others are waiting for me in front of the cinema. I told them, that I was
going to meet you, but I didn«t tell them, that I wanted to introduce you." "Ah, I get it.
You«ve planned this from the very beginnig am I right?" Yuna didn«t answer. Instead of
that, she smiled a childish smile. After a few more metres, Yuna saw Tidus in the crowd
of people and ran up to him. He smiled when he saw her. "Hi Yuna. Oh is this your friend?
Um...what was her name?" " Yes this is Aya. Aya, this is Tidus." Aya smiled and shook his
hand. "Where are Lulu and Wakka and the others?" Yuna asked and looked around.
"They said, they would come a bit later, but they must be here in a few minutes."
Just after Tidus finished his sentence, Lulu and the others came. "So Aya, now I can
introduce you to everyone." Yuna introduced Aya to Lulu, Wakka, Kimahri and Rikku. But
suddenly, when Yuna wanted to introduce her to Auron, Aya jerked. "No that can«t be... "
she whispered and looked into Aurons eyes. "It«s you..." Auron also whispered his words.
"What is it Aya? You look so...sad." Yuna said, not knowing, that Auron and Aya knew each
other. "It«s nothing. Nice to meet you, Auron." she said. Auron just looked at her, nodded
slowly and then he walked away some metres. Ayas look was fixed at Auron, she didn«t
manage to look away...and the worst thing of all was, that she could«ve cried; she was that
sad. Tidus watched Aya and recognized her sad look. He decided to tell Yuna, that she should
talk to Aya later.

Aya was sitting in her room and thougt about Auron. "He didn«t change...But...did his feelings
also not change?" she said softly to herself. Suddenly there was a knock at her
door. "Come in!" she said. The door opened and Yuna stepped into the room. "Um...Aya? Do
you have some time? I want to talk to you about something very important..."
"Yes of course. What is it? Do you have any problems?" Yuna shook her head. "No. I«m not
the one with problems...but maybe...you?" Now Aya got her point. Yuna had recognized how
she and Auron had looked at each other today. "Won«t you tell me, Aya? I can see it
in your eyes, that there is something that bothers you. So what is it? You can tell me
everything, you know that. We«re nearly like sisters." Aya nodded. "Well okay. I know
I can trust you. We knew each other since we were young. But you must promise me, that
you«ll tell nobody, and I really mean NOBODY about this." "What do you think of me?"
Then Aya sighed and started to tell Yuna about her and Aurons secret.
"It was a year ago. I met Auron, when he rescued me from a dragon near the beach..."

~~FLASHBACK~~

Aya stared into the eyes of this huge dragon who looked like he hadn«t eaten anything
for thousand years. The fifteen year old girl was scared to death. She already thought, that
she would die, that this was the last oxygen, she was breathing, the last time, she would
see the blue sky. Aya closed her eyes in fear and prepared herself to be eaten by this
dragon. When she recognized, that nothing was happening, she opened her eyes and saw,
that a man was fighting the dragon with a huge sword. He wore a red coat, the collar
hid some parts of his face. Aya said nothing; her eyes just followed the quick moves
of this man. She«s never seen anybody, who could fight a dragon like this!
The man looked like he was 34 or maybe 35 years old. Finally the dragon fell to the
ground and was dead. The man stepped over to Aya and extended his hand.
"Are you alright?" he asked her. "Um...yes...yes I am." she grabbed his hand and
he pulled her up so that she could stand again. "Thank you for saving me...um..."
"Auron. My name is Auron." he answered and smiled lightly. "My name is Aya. It was
absolutely fantastic, how you fighted against the dragon!" Auron shook his head.
"No...it was nothing." "How can you possibly say something like this? Don«t underestimate
yourself." Auron looked at her as if he wasn«t believing, what she was saying. "Nobody ever
told me this...you«re different from the other people." he said. Aya smiled. She reached
in her pocket and put something into Aurons hand. Then she blinked at him. "I have to go
now...until we meet again." she said and went away. When Auron looked at his hand, he saw
a silver ring and a piece of paper on which Aya had written: "If you want to meet
me again, you«ll find me after eight o«clock at the beach. Aya"

On the next day, Auron walked along the beach. It was five minutes past eight and
Aya was nowhere to be seen. He waited another ten minutes but Aya wasn«t coming.
"She simply made fun of you" Auron thought "And you fell for the bait" But just when he
thought this, Aya appeared.
"Hi Auron." she said and smiled. "I thought you weren«t coming." Aya scratched the back
of her head. "Yeah, I«m sorry. It was a bit suspicious that I wanted to go to the beach
in the evening, because I«m not doing this very often." Both of them went to a little
cliff, where nobody was and sat down. "Well...do you wanted to tell me something?"
Auron asked her. "Oh nothing in particular. I just wanted to talk a bit with you...just if
you don«t have anything against it." Auron shook his head. "No, no it«s absolutely
okay." "I thought we could tell each other about ourselves." Aya picked up a little stone
and threw it in the sea. Auron seemed to be feeling uneasy. "Well...what do want to know?"
"Um...maybe...what kind of women you like!" Aya looked at him and grinned. Auron
seemed even more uneasy and stuttered a bit. "Um...I...well...I..." "Got «cha. I just wanted
to see, if you«re honest..." Aya smiled and looked at him with a look, as if she was trying
to guess, what Auron was thinking.
From this day on, Aya and Auron met each other every day, after eight o«clock at the
same place at the beach. But it couldn«t be like this forever... On one day, when Aya, like
everyday, went to the beach, her elder sister followed her. She thought, that Aya
behaved very suspicious. Aya could maybe trick their mother, but not her. She knew,
that Aya wasn«t a very sport-loving person. She carefully followed her sister; watching,
if she wasn«t recognizing it. When she came to the beach, she saw, that Aya ran up to
a very tall man and it shocked her, because she could see, that Auron was about 18 years
older than her sister.
Aya and Auron looked into each others eyes deeply. It was a cold evening, so Aya was
freezing. When Auron recognized it, he wrapped his red coat around the shivering body
of the 15 year old girl. He put his hand on her cheek and stroked it, as if he was afraid of
hurting her. He lowered his body down to her, and kissed her on her lips, at first
softly, but with every second of sharing it, their kiss became a bit more passionately.
Ayas sister put her hand in front of her mouth in shock. It couldn«t be! Aya couldn«t
be meeting a man, who was about two decades older than her! She didn«t know, what to
do, but she knew, that she had to tell it their parents, even if it had to be, that Aya would
hate her...
