Distribution: Interested in hosting this fic? Please ask me first. :-)

Pre-Cautions: Mild sensuality (or sexuality) whatever you prefer :-P, the story also contains spoilers from FFX and FFX-2, the story was based after the normal ending in FFX-2.

Disclaimer: I hate to say it, but I don't own FFX or FFX-2, its characters and blah blah blah. You know the rest.

Author's Note: This is my second FFX/FFX-2 fic, and is based off of the Angel episode, "I Will Remember You". If you haven't seen it, the story is somewhat similar to it. If you have seen it, well just sit back and relax and I hope you enjoy!

Prologue :: Reminicising - Last Farewells

______________________________________

"Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when"

It wasn't an option to whether to sulk and complain that he was stuck somewhere in the Farplane. So far it had been pretty good to have a chance to talk with Jecht, Lord Braska, and Auron - catching up on subjects that have been left for so long. He admitted, he was grateful for being reunited with Jecht, to mend their father and son relationship. But with a slight pain in his chest, he couldn't feel a thing but that - instead it remained as a reminder of someone waiting for him, whistling for his return.

Tidus sighed; he didn't seem he could handle another moment of silence, or not being able to hold her warm body against his. He had only that vague memory of that fateful day, as she was sending away all the aeons and everything after the destruction of Sin. He had noticed his hands becoming transparent, his eyes filled with sadness, holding back the set of tears that were supposed to fall down his facial features.

She turned to look at him, shaking her head in disbelief.

"No."

Tidus looked at her facial expression, which left a great grief of shock. She didn't want him to go, and he never ever wanted to leave her. He had promised her - to never leave.

He looked at his now semi-transparent hands, walking forwards towards the swarm of energy floating in front of their eyes.

"Yuna, I have to go. I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand. Goodbye!..." With those words, he continued to walk - the sadness still in his deep blue eyes. But before he could walk another step he had heard someone running to him. He turned to see her, running with her arms open - acting as if he was still there with her. Before he could leave, he had wanted to feel her again, to feel her warm body. Not of sadness of departure, but of a sense that he would come back. So, he too opened his arms as well - opening them up to her.

But it wasn't to be.

As she tried to reach out for him - she had passed through him. Like a vapor of air, falling onto the hard floor. She had realized then, that it was his time to leave, holding back cries of sorrow and pleas of remaining with the group. Tidus didn't want to see her crying once more, his heart ached, the beating of it loudly in his ears. As the beating of his broken heart raised, the sound growing louder until his ears rang. He had wanted to cover them up, but instead words coming from her own mouth caused the deafening sounds of the heart beating loudly to slowly cease...

"I love you," she said quietly, but she knew he could hear her. Looking up, her eyes growing bleak as she turned to face forward solemnly. By now, she couldn't feel him anymore - she didn't feel his radiant sense coming from him. She no longer heard the steps coming forward, nor did she feel his hands wrapping around her from behind.

It was a sudden chill to Tidus though; his hands were practically going through her. But he didn't care, after this he may never see her again - the thought made Tidus buried his face into Yuna's neck, his eyes filling with slight tears. He could still smell her, the fragrance strong enough to let him feel her beside him...

Even when he had to leave...

Passing through her like a ghost going through a wall, he had ran sprinted towards the edge of the airship -jumping into mid air as she watched - her face expressionless with her last farewell.

2 Years Later...

She had stopped to feel a slight chill glistening down her spine. Pausing for a minute in the abyss of the Farplane a feeling that only left her a sad smile as she felt that cold wisp of air - wrapping around her. Yuna had only wished that this was a dream...wishing that the journey should continue...to find him, the one she loves. But her heart knew it, all the way through - that he would be there for her, eternally. Right in her heart.

She smiled sadly however responding to the ghostly touch - somewhat reminding her of him.


"It's you," she said softly "You were with me the whole time. I kept thinking you might be, kept hoping."

There was that moment of long pause, pyreflies flying freely around the surroundings around her, the colors blending in to make her eyes sparkle with light. It was no longer dark anymore, knowing that the man she had loved was always going to be in her heart.

"But you know, I'm not all worried anymore. You will always have a place...here in my heart. We'll always be connected." she told him, imagining him standing right behind her - hugging her. Like he did once, before he had left her alone for nearly 2 years. Left her to wonder if he even was coming back. She had whistled, and whistled repeatedly...and she was never gonna let that down.

Never.

Suddenly, the tingle of the damp chilly air had disappeared, only to leave her alone once more. She didn't want to turn back, for she knew she would be shedding the exact same sadness she had once had before the ending of her pilgrimage. She knew that she hadn't wanted to see to it, to feel that emptiness that now stood in her chest. Her heart thumping loudly, as she walked slowly her exit.

Only to utter her words - the same words before he had jumped in mid air, floating with his farewell...

"I love you."

Author's Notes~ Yeah I know a short chapter. Gave out the ending to FFX and the normal (sad ending?) to FFX-2. This part only starts out the story. Hopefully I get more motivated with this fic, now that I have 2 fics to update. To tell you the truth, this story is actually an idea I had after watching that episode of Angel (mentioned above) like 3 times. lol I'm trying to figure out a way to make the story work out with something similar to the episode, and adding that FFX/FFX-2 feel to it, basically that's it. lol

And of course the song by Nickelback had to be the main title of the fic; I just thought the chorus lyrics fitted the fic pretty well. :-)

Let me know if I should continue! ^_^
