Yuna's POV
I ran into town, being chased by a small girl and her dog. I laughed as I ran up the hill toward the temple. Tidus, Wakka, and Lulu looked on, smiling. Baby Vidina sat on the ground at their feet. He could walk now and has begun to talk. His first word wasn't Daddy or Momma, it was Yuna. Well it sounded more like Wuna. I ran up to the top of the hill and turned to the girl.
"I'm sorry, but I have to stop now."
"Okay, Lady Yuna, thank you for playing!" She said, bowing in respect.
"Maybe tomorrow we will do it again." I said heading toward Wakka's hut.
"Tired?" Tidus asked, picking up Vidina from the ground.
"Yea, kinda." I said smiling at the little red headed toddler.
"Yunie!!" I heard her yell from the village entrance.
I looked and saw Rikku waving at me, in her hand a bottle that seemed to have something in it. I ran toward my cousin, eager to know what she had in her hand.
"Yea, Rikku?" I asked looking straight at her hand.
"I found this on the beach a little while ago. I thought I would bring it to you, since it has your name on it."
I grabbed the letter from her awaiting hand. Then looked at her, "Coming for your weekly visit?" I said popping the cork out of the bottle's top.
"You know it!" She said smiling then looking down at the letter.
Yuna,
I don't know if this will even reach you. Lately, I have been thinking about the time we spent together last year. It's been to long without seeing your smiling face. I just wanted to send you this, to let you know, you're not a whole world away from me. I am always near you. I hope you are happy and that you found...Tidus. Marlene said hello also. Tifa said thank you. And all the others miss you as well.
Goodbye,
Cloud.
"Who's Cloud?" Rikku asked looking at me.
"Someone….. dear." I said rolling up the letter quickly.
"Mmmhmmm?" Rikku asked, knowing all well there was more to tell.
"Look, Rikku, I need the airship." I said looking at her with pleading mismatched eyes.
"Who's Cloud!?" She yelled louder stomping her feet in her usual childish way.
"Shhh!"
"Who is Cloud?" I heard Tidus asked from behind.
"Tidus…"
"Who is he?" He asked, sounding upset yet very mad.
"When I disappeared, He helped me."
"What all happened between you two?"
"Nothing, I swear." I lied.
"Yuna, you need to work on your lying." Lulu said.
"Lulu!" I complained.
"Don't be lying to us!" Wakka said.
"Wuna!" Vidina cried reaching out to me. I tucked the letter into my bag that hung to my side and grabbed the 2 year old.
"Let's go to the hut." I said quietly tucking Vidina's face into my neck, with my hand on the back of his head.
We walked into Lulu and Wakka's hut and they all sat on the couch, except for Tidus and I.
"I disappeared after we lost to Vegnagun. I got sucked into Cloud's world by Lenne trying to protect me from Shuyin. " I paused to look at Tidus's face, but he was looking at the ground and not me. "Cloud… found me in a flower bed in an old church. I was asleep for weeks but he watched me to make sure I was alive and okay. He made sure made sure no one touched me. When I woke up, he was there. He took me back to his friends bar where he let me stay. Soon, He gathered information as to why I was there…" I continued to tell them what all happened, but leaving out all the parts that only involved the both of us.
"So nothing happened between the two of you?" Tidus asked again.
"No. Nothing happened." Why couldn't he just believe my horrible lie and forget about Cloud?
Tidus shook his head and left the hut. I took the now sleeping Vidina and laid him down onto his mother's lap and ran after Tidus.
By the time I had gotten out of the hut he was already on his way out of town. I followed him toward the beach, a place we came often.
"Tidus wait!" I yelled as we reached the beach. He didn't answer I ran up beside him and saw what he was staring at. A man was lying on the beach, unconscious and not moving.
I ran over to where the man laid. When I got closer, I could see who it was. I couldn't believe my eyes. It had to be impossible. It just couldn't be real.
"Tidus! Go get Wakka!" I yelled to him. He just shook his head and started running back to the village.
"Oh Cloud." I said laying my head down onto his abdomen.
