Chapter One
My feet were entangled in the sand as the wind swept through my hair. I kept on staring out into the clear, blue sky. This island, Besaid Island, had become my home for the past few years. I'm thankful to have been brought here. It was a peaceful little island and the villagers here are so wonderful! Especially Yuna, she's my closest friend and confidant here on the island. She's amazing and the sweetest person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was something akin of a sister to me, but not quite. I held a special kind of connection to her and protecting her was everything to me.
Protecting her…"Shit! She's going become a summoner today!" I quickly gathered my wits and ran through the beach. I had forgotten my boots on the shore, but that didn't matter to me in the slightest. I loved the feel of the hard earth under my steps anyway. I could always tell Wakka to get them later. He was going to start practice soon enough with the Aurochs.
I ran and ran until I got inside of the temple. I stopped, seeing Lulu and Kimahri following Yuna as they were about to go and partake in the trials. "Yuna! Good luck!" I shouted and Yuna gave me a winning smile. I could feel the air in my lungs become trapped, and my face became a bit flushed. What was going on? Kimahri was behind her and gave me a small salute and a smile as he followed her. The raven haired woman behind Kimahri, Lulu, had shook her head giving me a knowing look, and walked off as well. I blinked for a few moments just staring after them. Yuna had to become a summoner, she just had to.
There was a loud cough behind me and I turned around to be greeted by the priest of the temple. He looked at me and then looked at my dirty feet, which were creating footprints all over the temple grounds. I smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of my neck. "Hehe, sorry about that." I proceeded to leave and as soon as I was outside, I breathed deeply. I had a lot of chores to do now that it was the true start of the day and Yuna was going to become a summoner. I walked down the temple steps, seeing Wakka come out of his hut, and the Aurochs gave me a few high fives as I walked past them.
"Wakka!" I smiled and gave him a great big bear hug. "Lulu and Kimahri are with Yuna. They've already gone inside to start the trials. Gonna start practice soon, huh? Make sure to bring my shoes back, please? I ran all the way here without them. I'm going to put on another pay right now." I turned to the Aurochs who snapped at attention. "As for you guys! Train hard! I want you guys to win the tournament this year!" They gave cheers of doing their best and trying to win because it's what I wanted. They were all a kooky bunch, I tell you.
I left them to my own hut so I could put on my boots and begin the chores for the rest of the villagers. I spent most of my time looking for lost items as well as moving things around in people's huts. At one point, one of the villager's daughters came over to me as I was lifting one heavy crate to bring to one of the huts and asked if I wanted anything to drink. As I asked for some water, which she gladly brought to me, and sat on the side of the hut just watching me. I wiped some of the sweat off of my brow and winked over at her. She giggled and then her father came out of the hut, giving me my pay and call his daughter back into the hut. She blushed when she waved goodbye as well as blew me a kiss.
I shook my head and went back into my own hut. I'm sure that village girl's father didn't just bring her in for an early lunch. It was a huge transgression according to followers of Yevon to engage in any kind of "more than friendly" activity with one of the same sex. I didn't follow the Yevonite path and didn't care for what those people thought, but it's not like I was doing anything. She was coming onto me more so than I was coming on to her. Whatever. I flopped onto my bed, deciding to take a nap and when I would wake I'd go check on Yuna.
Unfortunately, my nap took further than I intended and Yuna still had not come out of the Cloister of Trials. I emerged from the hut, ready to run into the temple, but then there was a huge gathering coming out of the temple. People were hollering and cheering and finally I could see Yuna, Kimahri, and Lulu. I also saw Wakka come out of the temple, with someone hooked under his arm but I barely paid any attention as Yuna summoned Valefor from the skies. I grinned as I watched her and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment for her. She did it; she became a summoner.
That night there was a huge bonfire in the village to commemorate Yuna becoming a summoner. I had gotten my own aeon (the creature that summoners call) a while ago, on Yuna's request that we get them together. Unfortunately, that also meant that I wasn't allowed to go with her when she was going to get hers. I had decided to just get this summon and forget about the others because this would be her pilgrimage. I wanted to be her guardian, and she heartedly accepted this request. I sat around the bonfire with Lulu for a little while, but began to grow bored of everything and made excuses as I went back to the beach.
I walked along the shore, taking my shoes off and holding them so I don't forget them again. I moved along to the dock and sat at the end of it, my feet hovering a few inches from the water and glanced down at my reflection. I could see the dark eyes that I had inherited from my father and dirty blonde hair I had inherited from my mother. My looks had always attracted a fair share of female admirers as well as a few males. I told people I had no real preference, but I always seemed to lean more towards women. Oh well, it's not like that really mattered as long as it was all about the person, right?
I leaned back on the dock, snorting. It was all about the person, right, but that still didn't mean I had more than a few females in my bed as opposed to the males who wished I was in theirs. I started to hum the Hymn of the Fayth that was so prevalent in Spira's culture and I could hear a soft rustling as someone started to approach on the beach. I didn't turn my head until I could hear footsteps on the dock and saw Yuna, smiling down at me.
"Kimiko! I knew I would find you here. You are always so close to the water. I've been looking for you. I missed you at the celebration, so I thought to come here. Did you get to see when I had summoned the aeon?" I nodded and she smiled. "This is amazing! We are both summoners now! Aren't you thrilled?" I stood before her and we embraced each other. She was so happy, and she had every right to be. Her greatest wish had finally come true. She was now a summoner.
"Yuna. You know that I only got this summon because you asked. I will not be obtaining anymore. I only wish to be your guardian, do you understand?" She nodded slowly, I could tell she wanted to pout, but didn't.
"I know…it's just-"
"One summoner is enough to take care of Sin. You will defeat him, and us guardians will be by your side to protect you. Besides, I don't think I ever want the title of High Summoner. Seems a bit too pompous for someone like me." She giggled and we turned to both look out into the distance. I knew she was saying goodbye to the village. This would be the last time she would be here, and tomorrow we would set sail for Kilika. Our journey to defeat Sin was finally beginning, and it was starting all too fast. I linked my hand with hers, and she leaned into me. I didn't know if I wanted to live in a world without Yuna. I couldn't think of it, I didn't want to think of it.
We stayed that way for a little while, and departed the beach. We trekked through the island to the village, and could still see the bonfire lit so bright. It was like a light guiding us home for the very last time. I knew this pilgrimage would be filled with darkness as well as light, and I would always imagine it as the bonfire here in Besaid. I didn't realize that I was still holding Yuna's hand until she finally let go in the village. She went to her own hut, bypassing Wakka and Lulu who seemed to be engaged in a conversation. I figured out that Lulu was actually yelling at him and then left to her own home.
Wakka and I glanced at one another and he smiled sheepishly. I started to approach him, but he just went straight into the inn. I figured it was kind of weird for him to go to the inn, but I decided to let him be. I went into my own hut, looking back at the bonfire one more time before resting. Tomorrow would be one hell of a day. I even had to wake early to help with the preparations because I never seemed to say no to helping with those kinds of things. I even started to wonder about leaving. I hated moving around for various reasons, so why would I leave? Guess it's because Yuna had found her way into my heart and wherever she went, I just had to follow.
With that thought I fell into a deep slumber.
x.x.x.
The following morning, I helped with the voyage. All of the preparations had been set and it was just time to set sail. I had waved to everyone even before Yuna and the others came onto the dock, and went straight back to the power room. I didn't even know we had taken off until I came back up to the deck and saw that Besaid was becoming just a speck on the horizon. I made one more silent goodbye as I looked at it and then went to find my companions. They were on the other side of the deck and I had to make my way through the Aurochs.
I found Lulu watching as a crowd formed around Yuna and I couldn't help but laugh. Lulu gave me a look and I pretended to cough. "You're as mature as people claim you to be."
"Oh? I think I'd rather be as mature as everyone thinks then. Means I must be a fun person." Lulu sighed. "What? It's true. Besides, everyone needs a little fun in their lives. Try and live a little, Lulu."
"This is living."
"Out here on the open sea? I agree." I grinned as she was exasperated. She was ready to hit me with something but then Wakka came up with someone trapped under his arm. "Who have you kidnapped this time, Wakka?"
"Hey! I didn't kidnap him, ya? He's our newest buddy. He's hitchin' a ride with us to Luca." I could see the way his eyes lit up as he said "Luca." I wasn't surprised in the slightest. Luca was the second biggest town in Spira and it held the Blitzball stadium. The tournament would be taking place soon, and the Aurochs haven't won in years. They wanted to change that this year, and my guess was that this dude Wakka had trapped, must be his new ticket to winning the tournament. Hell, if he got them to win, this dude could have anything he wanted in my book. He could even become one of my new best friends.
The guy was struggling under Wakka grip. "You know, he's gonna suffocate if you keep holding him like that." Wakka released the guy, who bumped into me, and we were sprawled on the floor. The guy landed right on top of me, and it was just as awkward as it was uncomfortable. "You can get off of me now." I hissed at him and he got up real quick. He held out his hand for me to take, but I just brushed off my clothes. (More like my pants, back, and midriff.)
"Sorry about that." He laughed awkwardly and I looked at him. Bleach blonde hair, crystalline blue eyes that reminded me of the sea, and a tanned physique that showed he had to be a blitzer. He looked so…familiar. I couldn't help but keep ogling him, wondering where he had come from. He started squirming under my gaze, but I wouldn't stop until I figured it out.
"No problem." I narrowed my eyes. "Who are you anyway? I don't think you'd like me to keep calling you 'you' or 'dude.'"
"Oh, uh…Tidus. My name's Tidus. And um…you are?" I smirked. I figured out who he was now.
"Kimiko. Just call me Kimi though. Yuna's the only one who calls me by my full name."
Wakka hollered. "And you haven't growled at her yet!"
I glared at him while Lulu made it a point to get away to another part of the ship. She always liked leaving me at weird moments like this. Wakka started moving toward his team, which left me and Tidus practically alone. Now it was his turn to stare at me. "What?"
"It's just…you um…I know this is gonna sound really weird and all but…you kinda seem familiar. I don't know how I know you, seeing as how I'm from Zanark-ah…never mind that. I'm not from here." I couldn't help but start laughing and he looked at me like I grew another head.
"Yeah, you aren't from here, that much is certain." I poked him on the forehead and stuck my tongue out at him. "Maybe I am who you think I am. Then again, I'm not scruffy, grumpy, or wear a red coat." I moved around him, starting to walk off and the idea started to click in his head.
"Kimi! You-You're-!"
"Sir Auron's daughter?" I blinked, seeing that Yuna had appeared out of nowhere. She gave us both a curious look. "I see you have met Sir Jecht's son. I trust you'll behave, Kimi?"
I scoffed mockingly. "Behave? I always behave. When I have I not been…behavable?" I knew it wasn't a word, but I will damn well make it one! Yuna gave me a look of disbelief. "Okay, I won't do any pranks on him because he's a newbie. Sound good?"
"How about none at all?"
I put my hand over my heart, feining a painful expression. "Yuna, you're breaking my heart!"
Wakka took the moment to stop as he was walking up to the second floor and called out, "I didn't know you could break a black hole, ya?" He roared with laughter as he continued upstairs as I wanted to give him the finger. Knowing Wakka, he would think it was a gesture among brethren, rendering the effect null. Tidus laughed as well and I shot him a glare. It didn't affect him either, and after a few painstaking moments on my part, he finally calmed down.
"Still a hell raiser as always, huh?" He looked so smug, that bastard.
"Still a crybaby as always, huh?" I taunted him back, but before he could say anything, Yuna broke up our little debacle. She was completely confused, and then I was called down to the engine room.
I don't know what happened while I was messing around the engine room. All I knew was that the boat had suddenly lurched to one side, making me crash into one of the walls. My whole side hurt for a few moments and I started calling out to find out what happened. No one was really listening, so I decided to go back on the deck, and was pelted with water. I was lucky that I was still standing from all the water that had come down on me, but I just pressed forward. Coming out of the bottom level, I was drifted off to the side, and that's when I saw it…Sin! The damned thing was messing with our voyage to Kilika!
Sinspawn had been launched onto the ship and were trying to cause some damage to the crew, as well as the others that were aboard the ship. I immediately laughed into action, drawing out my twin pistols and taking aim for one of the Sinspawn. I shot one clear off the boat, sending it flying into the ocean with a cry. Every time one of the Sinspawn would try and attack, I would jump back and launch myself to kick it. My companions fought alongside me for the fight, and soon enough Sin began to retreat. Ust because he had retreated, it did not mean that he didn't cause any damage…
When the battle was over, I shouted over to Yuna to see if she was okay. Kimahri was guarding her so she was fine. I made rounds to check if the others were okay, putting my guns back into the holsters. I went to check on Wakka last, seeing as he never approved of my pistols. They were machina, (machine type) and every single Yevonite thought that machina was the reason for Sin's existence. I didn't give a damn what anyone thought of them, and every moment I used them Wakka had a comment about them. Unforunately, due to my temper, I would always cock my gun at Wakka. I had never fired, but one day I just might on accident.
My guns were forbidden by Yevon, and many would have me excommunicated. Not that I cared, I was more of a guardian than a summoner, but that would not look good for Yuna. She didn't like my weaponry either, but she found me flip out on Wakka and thought better of trying to tell me off about them. She knew I would never hurt her, but even I had a scary point, and talking to me about my guns set off my temper. Lulu was not a faithful Yevonite, so she never said anything about them. She liked to question things anyway, so she liked to stay out of it. Kimahri said nothing about them, then again, Kimahri barely talked.
I kneeled in front of Wakka, rubbing the towel on him, trying to get water off of him. He and Tidus had been knocked overboard, but they both broke to the surface. "You alright there Captain?" He gave me a thumbs up, trying to catch his breath. I sighed, feeling glad that no one had died aboard the voyage.
When we got to Kilika, however, that was a different matter entirely…
x.x.x.
The moment we arrived, the solemnity was enough to scare anyone. Half of the village was destroyed. A sending was surely necessary. Yuna had offered to do it, and rushed off with some of the villagers. I never wanted to perform a sending, ever. I didn't even want Yuna to perform a sending. But then the day after we set sail…stupid fucking Sin. He was the reason for everything. I hated that creature with passion. I clenched my fist, looking at the horizon that was tinged with red. It made the entire village become engulfed in the color of fresh blood that had been shed.
I walked to where the sending was going to take place. Lulu had explained to Tidus what a sending was and I stood next to him, just looking out. Yuna stepped onto the water, hovering above the many coffins that had been moved into the waters, so their departed can be swept up to the unknown. Then…it began. How to describe a sending? It is hauntingly beautiful. Yeah, I think that's the best way to describe it. A sending is a dance or prayer for the dearly departed so they can to go the Farplane, a kind of otherworld. It's sad and scary, and then pyreflies erupt from the bodies of the departed and mingle in the air as they drift off in search of the Farplane.
Sendings are necessary so that people who die do not become fiends, filled with anger, regret, or even hate. No one would wish that for their loved ones. So as Yuna danced, I could see her tears mix with the water she danced atop of. My soul wanted to fly out of my body and join the others that were so surely going to the Farplane. I almost wanted to leave this pain filled world and meet my mother…she was in the Farplane…I bit back the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes, and I could feel Tidus' hand slip into mine, even though his gaze was glued to Yuna as she danced. I wished I knew what he was thinking.
When the sending was over, Yuna rushed over to us and was embraced by Lulu. Her tears had dried, but even Lulu knew she had cried. I smiled sadly at her, and she ran to embrace me as well. Again, all of the air in my lungs became trapped and then I expelled it when she finally released me. I had to figure out what was going on with me. I shook my head, when Tidus tried to ask me questions as we all walked to the inn. I didn't know if I could give him any answers. That night, I tossed and turned in my bed beside Lulu. She ended up pinning me, to get me to sleep and then I drifted off.
The trip to the temple was uneventful, save for meeting the Luca Goers. The males on the team taunted the Aurochs while a few of the ladies were checking out their competition as well as myself. Tidus and I had goaded the Goers about how we would win this year and take home the cup. The Goers left after our little cheer and argument about how the Aurochs would always be the best. We were so pumped up that nothing else seemed to matter, until Yuna had acquired her next aeon. We left the temple and walked back to the port, so we could set sail to Luca immediately. This time, Tidus and I were able to have a decent conversation away from everyone else.
"Kimi."
"Hm?"
"It's been a really long time."
"You have an eye for the obvious, Tidus. I congratulate you." He scowled at me and I couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, don't get so pissy. I'm only kidding. Lighten up. And yes, it has been a long time. I can't believe I would find you of all people here in Spira. It's almost scary."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing bad. I mean it. I just didn't expect to see you here. Let me guess, it's all my old man's fault, huh?" He was going to say something, but nodded instead. "I figured. It was the same thing with me. He must have sent me off first, stayed with you, and then brought you along after. Do you…do you think he's here?"
"I hoped to find him in Luca."
I laughed. "Where? In the Blitzball stadium? He's not going to be going against you in match, Tidus."
"Of course not! But…Luca is a big place. I just…I hope he'll be there. You want to see him too. I'm sure you miss him. Do you want to knock him one for making you come all the way over here?"
"Hm…I'm not like you who wants to just snuff his dad. But…I wouldn't mind giving him one in the kisser for making me move so much. I wouldn't mind it at all."
We talked well into the night that way. It was mostly nonsensical things woven with our lives before this journey and after I left Zanarkand. I found out that Tidus had a few relationships with males under my dad's nose. He was very…intimate with them on the couch a few times and I had to refrain from nearly dying at the image of my dad sitting on the couch and finding a used condom or something. I told him about me being with the ladies even though I still have a minor attraction for males. I also explained that he needed to keep these things on the down low. Not many approved of it in Spira.
"Speaking of the ladies liking you…" Tidus inclined his head over the side where two of the Goers' female players were standing. They were ogling my back and I couldn't help but laugh. "Maybe you should try and seduce a few of the male players. It might get you guys a win. Or are you not that great in bed as you are in the sphere pool?" He gave me a small pinch on the side, making me yelp. I smacked him on the arm and stuck my tongue out, while sauntering up to the second floor of the deck, where Lulu and Wakka once were.
Lulu headed to bed, while Wakka and I were talking about the tournament for a bit. He said they were really going to go for the cup now, and as we were talking Tidus had found a blitzball and was trying to do a shot. I gasped as he got the shot correctly, knocking it in the air and spinning. Then he kicked it harshly, sending it flying far from the boat. Wakka ran downstairs, throwing a blitzball at him, telling him to do the shot again. I smiled, shaking my head at their antics. Amazing…what was that shot? Was it…the Jecht Shot? My dad had told me that Jecht had shown it to him, but was that it?
"You're friend is really good. I suppose we will have to watch out for the Aurochs this year." I turned my head to see one of the female Goers coming next to me, I leaned onto the post that was beside me, trying to be nonchalant. She smiled seeing through my guise and moved a bit closer to me. "Pity you don't play. You look like you would be a great asset. You might even have great talents."
"I was never taught how to play Blitzball professionally. Just for a few fun games is all. I don't think I'm that great at it. Besides, my talents are usually used for something else. Anyway, what's your name?"
"Doram. Yours?"
"Kimi. Pleasure to meet you, Doram."
"Oh, believe me, the pleasure is all mine." She smiled and looked at everyone downstairs. "I believe the Captain is trying to get your attention."
I looked down and saw that Wakka was waving his arms wildly, and then Yuna was following suit. And soon after that, all I saw was the Aurochs and our summoner waving their arms. "I suppose I have to go downstairs now."
"Room 120. You can find me there later, if you want to continue our chat."
I smirked. "I don't recall us chatting, but I think I will take you up on that offer." I left her and walked down to the others. They made sure I stood by Yuna so that Tidus could perform his technique yet again and we had a few more laughs. Wakka and the Aurochs went to bed, and soon Tidus, Yuna, and I followed. I didn't go to the room I had with Lulu, but walked instead to the room that Doram had told me about.
"Um…Kimi?" I stopped in mid stride and Yuna looked at me curiously. "Isn't your room with Lulu over there?" She pointed to a door across from her own room and Tidus was smirking from behind her. I wanted to punch him for it.
"It is, but I'm not going there right now. I will end up sleeping there." If I got any sleep at all, I mentioned in my mind. Yuna nodded and went to her room with Kimahri while Tidus scrambled behind me.
"Gonna go meet that Goer who was talking to you on the deck?" I stuck out my tongue. "Have fun. Don't do anything I wouldn't!"
"I don't think there are any couches for me to bottom on, buddy." I laughed when he gave me the finger and went into his room with Wakka. I found the room and knocked on the door. Doram stood before me in her night clothing, and pulled me by the collar into the room, slamming the door behind us. Immediately her lips locked with my own in heated kisses, and I flipped our positions, pinning her to the door.
"Hello again." She said breathlessly when we pulled back for air, and I attacked her neck and arms with more kisses than she could handle. Her clothes came off first as I ripped them off of her body, and she wrapped her pale legs around my waist. She started to rub her naked form on my clothed one, begging for more friction. I locked the door and threw her onto the bed before ripping my own clothes off and nibbling, sucking, and licking at every single part of her skin.
The rest of the night was filled with our hot bodies meeting in passionate touches. Our room was filled with heat, moans, and gasps as we kept kissing, grinding, and touching. She begged for everything whether with her words or with her actions and I would always give her what she wanted as long as reciprocated the action. Her hands loved to tug on my hair whether I was on top of her or kneeling before her, and she couldn't help but scream my name. Doram never wanted to take it slow, she liked it fast and hard and that was okay by me. We already knew this was just a one night thing and that it held no other purpose except for release.
We didn't sleep for a long time, until both of our cores were sore from our actions. She fell asleep in my arms, nuzzling into my breasts, and my legs were tangled with her own. Our hair was tangled as well in a mix of colors, wrapping both of us like the blankets that were pooled in the middle of our bodies. Doram didn't snore, but it was like she sighed contentedly as I laid there, giving her some sort of comfort. I smiled, wishing that maybe one day I'll have something like this for the rest of my life, and sorted anything that could tell me otherwise away.
A few hours before anyone else woke up, I untangled myself from Doram and placed a kiss on her lips and forehead. I dressed myself quickly, unlocking the door and closing it just as quietly as I had opened it. I walked to the room I shared with Lulu, finding her awake and fixing her clothes. "Slept well in another woman's room, Kimi?" My cheeks were colored scarlet and I quickly went to go and wash parts of my body with a basin. I cam back out, feeling a bit more refreshed, but still a little sore. Doram really did a number on me…how many times did we do it?
I had no real time to contemplate it as the door was busted open and Tidus rushed into the room, giving me a crushing hug. He started talking animatedly about Luca and if you didn't know he loved Blitzball, you would surely know it that morning. Despite me being up for a little while, I am not a morning person. I threw Tidus off of me and yelled at him to go and get rid of his energy. It was inhuman to be that perky in the bloody morning. He didn't pay me any mind and just dragged me up to the deck so we could look at Luca. The entire place was magnificent. I couldn't wait to get out of the boat and walk it's streets. It was large and I could see the stadium from where we were. I almost wished I was playing the tournament, but then I remembered I'll be watching the games from the stands.
Luca had nothing on Zanarkand, that was for sure. But it was still so awesome. When we finally docked, I rushed out of the boat, eager to do some walking. No one heeded my plea as we found out Maester Mika was going to be here and so Yuna had asked if we would all join her. We followed and found his boat, where every Yevonite was in ecstasy with his presence. A Maester is one of the leaders of Spira. They are also the biggest priests in Spira and follow Yevon to the core. I could care less about this old fellow as well as the one who was coming behind him. His name was Maester Seymour. From what I could tell, he was half Guado ( a race of Spira that I have never gotten the definition of) and half human. He had blue hair, and clear eyes flecked with blue. They almost seemed like a light blue, the same color as the tattoos that adorned his face.
His gaze was creepy and Tidus and I shared a look. He must have been thinking the same thing. His gaze got to our little group and I could tell he stared at Yuna with more than just one look. He was looking through her and at her at the exact same time. There were dark desires behind that gaze of his, and I did not like it one bit. Yuna clutched at her chest and I glared at the Maester. He smirked at me and soon enough the crowd dissipated as everyone followed the Maesters. Wakka said something about how this was his lucky day, but I paid no attention to it. Something was definitely off about Seymour.
I sighed and found myself being left with Wakka, Lulu, and the Aurochs. The boys kept rambling about how awesome the tournament was going to be and I kept telling them that they had better win or else. I had money riding on these guys and I did not want to lose. I was a rather sore loser for these kinds of things. Lulu scoffed. She had seen me bet my gil and tried to stop me once. I took no heed of her and did it anyway. I was stubborn and would get what I wanted. I was always told it would kill me one day, and if it does…I had a good life, at least I think so.
Would my dad even come to the funeral if I died? I wondered about it. Probably not though. He would rather come visit me in the Farplane if he ever heard about it. That mean old bastard. He left me and would probably never find out if I did die or not. Thinking about it gave me a bitter taste in my mouth. Unless if he was dead. No. Tidus is here, he has to be here somewhere too. I'm sure of it. That old man wouldn't let death touch him, not for anything. He was stronger than death, and I knew that I would see him.
I just didn't expect it to be so soon…
Extra Notes: Hope you guys like the added stuff. I also changed a few other things and made it a bit longer. Thanks for reading!
