AN: Ok so the last chapter didn't take too long to write! Yay! And I might not be AS rusty as I thought. Also if any of you have read any of Kikyo-Tabitha_Yukena's stories you may notice similarities, well if you do you're not going crazy. I am the same person, just can't get into my other account and I am waiting on them to get back to me to see if I can get it back! =D
"Wakka, that's nice of you to offer but if you don't remember me, then I shouldn't be here." Tidus said hanging his head, saddened by knowing he may have lost the one that meant the world to him.
"Tidus!" Carly screamed standing by the ocean. Tidus turned to see what he thought he would never want to see again. Sin sitting there in the ocean just far enough to observe what was going on but not hurt anyone.
"Carly, run this way, NOW!" Tidus yelled as they ran inward on the island. Tidus ran toward Besaid to get away from Sin and all the toxin hoping not to expose Carly to it. The next thing they know, they are all being blown forward. Tidus lands on top of Carly smashing the air from her, and knocking her out. They both lay there unconscious as Wakka tries to move them toward the village.
"C'mon guys, wake up!" Wakka said pulling Tidus off of Carly but not managing to wake him up. Wakka just sat there and stared for a little while. He wasn't sure if he should be concerned or not. He had no medical training and the Doctor in the Village just had a kid so she wasn't going to be able to get up and about to help right now. "Man, could this have happened to ya at a worse time!"
Wakka just sat there for almost two hours before either one of them came around. Carly came around first. She had hit her head along with having Tidus land on top of her. She could barely breathe and was having trouble moving.
"The hell happened?"
"Sin gotcha. He threw us all around, ya know. Threw Tidus right on top of ya. You were out for some time. About two or three hours. I'm not sure how long really, jus' know I sat here for a while." Wakka said still staring at Tidus wishing he would wake up so that they would know he was OK.
"Let's get him up and about shall we?" Carly said sitting up. She mumbled something under her breath and at about that time Tidus rolled over. "Wow I didn't think it would work that fast."
"What'd ya do?"
"I'm a witch, I can cast spells of all kinds, healing, and damage. Even some more…special ones."
"Sounds cool, but dangerous."
"It is very much so. We need to get moving before we become targets for every fiend on the island." Carly said looking around with a hint of nervousness.
"Yea we can do that. Probably a good idea anyway, ya know."
"Which is why I said it's something we need to do." Carly stood slowly and when she got her balance bent down to help Tidus up. He was barely conscious. "Come on sweetie, we have to get out of here. If not we could be in some serious trouble."
"Yea, ok. Where are we going?" Tidus asked. It was obvious from his voice that he really felt like an idiot for not pin pointing the right time and place. It was as if he actually had been beating himself up over it for some time now.
"We are going to the Village on the island. It's probably the safest bet right about now, and safe is good." Carly said struggling to support her weight along with most of his.
"Your hurt?" Tidus' eyes opened wide.
"It's nothing, don't worry yourself with it! It's fine. Let's just get to Besaid, shall we?" Carly took a step forward and fell to the ground clutching her side. It felt as though she had been beat with a sledge hammer in the side repeatedly.
"Are you fine now?" Tidus asked with anger dripping from his every word.
Wakka picked Carly up and started moving toward the Village. "You cant carry her and we have to start moving. Just go, follow this path and it will lead basically straight there."
Tidus obeyed quickly. Moving almost three times faster than Wakka to make sure he got there before them to get something semi-set up for her to lay down on when they got there.
*I should have done better than this. I should have gotten us to at least the right year! Maybe not the exact place but the same year. Instead, I get us the right place but ten years too early.* Tidus was thinking so many things but the fact that he messed up the year, was the main thing. He felt responsible for Carly being hurt and that he had to fix what he had done to her. *She shouldn't have come with me. She should have just stayed in Zanarkand where she was safe!*
Running down the winding path toward Besaid seemed to take longer than it had ever before. Time seemed to slow down as he pushed his body to move faster and faster. He had to get there in enough time to make sure it was set up for her to be ok.
"TIDUS WATCH OUT!" He heard someone yell. It was too late though. He had been running so fast and not paying enough attention, he slipped and fell and wasn't able to catch himself. He fell off of the cliff into the cold water. The momentum from the fall pulled him to the bottom of the river. Down with the small pebbles and the pointed and sharp rocks.
He fought to get back to the surface of the water. It was probably about fifteen feet down that he was pulled. Trying to get to the surface seemed to be almost impossible. He was caught in the current and being pulled down toward the rocks. All he could think about was what would happen to him if he hit the rocks. Would he just be knocked out or would it be worse? Would he die?
That's when it happened. The current got stronger and threw him onto the river bed. His head hit several rocks and he tried one more time to fight to the top but it wasn't working. He felt the sting of pain in the back of his head but he didn't stop, he couldn't. He pushed against the bottom with all his might but didn't get far, the river bed was too soft to push off of. His feet were sinking into it and he was slowly getting more and more stuck. Would they be able to find him in time? Would they even know where to look? Who had yelled to try and save him from this fate?
"Tidus, it's ok! You can stop fighting now, your safe!" A voice was coming from somewhere. How was he safe and he couldn't stop fighting or he would die. He could already feel consciousness slipping away from him little by little. "Tidus, stop, just stop. It's ok, you're safe here. You're here with me."
Tidus spun in a circle to try and find where the voice was coming from but he couldn't find it. He was so confused from the voice he had almost forgotten about the blood spilling out of the back of his head. He had forgotten completely about exhaustion that was being caused by the blood loss until he started to drift.
"That's right, stop fighting, just relax." He recognized the voice. It was Yunas voice. Was he dead? Had he died and just not realized it? He could no longer fight the exhaustion. He slowly slipped into unconsciousness. He felt the water around him getting warmer. It was as if he was floating on top of the water and not trapped fifteen feet under it.
"Tidus!" That was defiantly Yunas voice. He tried to wake up and go to her but he couldn't make his body move. He fought against his own body to regain control to go back to her. "Where did you find him?"
"He was on the beach. Him and this girl here." That voice was unknown to him. Who could be talking to Yuna and they found him? That's not how he remembers things.
"Is he going to be ok?"
"He will be fine. He hit his head pretty hard when he fell. Give him a few days and he will be perfectly healthy again!"
"Oh thank god. This way I can kill him when he wakes up. He shouldn't have been running over there and he knows it!" Yuna sounded very angry.
Tidus opened one eye just enough to see that it was not Yuna sitting there beside his bed. It was someone he had never met before. She was definitely not Yuna, unless she had changed that much with the rest of the world. He opened his eyes the rest of the way to let her know that he was awake. When she saw his eyes, she caught her breathe and her eyes opened wider than he had ever seen before. "Didn't think eyes could open so wide." He said, his voice weak and cracking.
"Praise be to Yevon! You're OK!" She jumped onto the bed beside him and threw her arms around his neck. "Oh wait, that's right you don't know who I am yet. Hi I'm Jace. The Fayth sent me to help get you used to your new life." She smiled and then jumped up.
"So you're Jace, but that doesn't tell me anything still." He was trying to make sense of everything that was going on. The Fayth sent someone to help him figure out his new life? What the hell is there to figure out? Could it really be that different?
"Yea to everyone around I am your sister. Our parents died when we were young and it was just us from then on. We lived for the most part in Bevelle, but moved to Zanarkand when I was 11. I am two years younger than you. I am 17 right now which means you are 19. Which means this would have been about the time that you met Yuna in the other world. By the way, when you were out the Fayth pushed you forward a few years to the right time."
"Yuna is a famous singer and actress. She's worth probably more than you ever would be." Jace said with a giggle. "But you are part of the best Blitz Team in all of Spira. The Zanarkand Abes, yea that's right Zanarkand was never destroyed. Which means they won't look at you like you are retarded when you tell them where you are from this go around." Tidus just stared at her, he was amazed at how much different everything was. "Oh and she is going to sing at the beginning of the match tomorrow, which you probably aren't prepared to play in."
"Where are we?" Tidus asked shaking his head and looking around the room.
"Oh yea, we're in Bevelle. We are in a medical unit. You hit your head pretty hard. She will be coming to see you in about an hour, but remember she doesn't know who you are. So the only way to get her back like you want her is to start all over again. Are you gonna be able to handle that?"
"I'm going to have to." Tidus leaned back in the bed and let everything process. Yuna was coming to see him, but didn't remember him at all. Why would she be coming to see him if she didn't remember him? Was there a chance that maybe she would remember him when she saw him? "Why is she coming?"
"You're the star player of the best team in Spira, why else would she come to see you? It looks good, for both of you. So you need to behave while she is here." Jace said as the doctor pulled back the curtain.
"Ah, glad to that you are awake. You hit your head pretty hard and we weren't sure how long it was before you woke up. Now I'm thinking you are ready to go when you want to leave but you should probably pass on the game today, or you could end up right back in here." The Doctor said as he marked down a few notes. "Now how do you feel?"
"I feel fine. Can I go yet?"
"Uh, yea your free whenever you want to leave."
"Then I am going to leave now. Have a good day and thank you for your help." Tidus said standing up and walking past the doctor.
"Tidus!" Jace yelled as she started to run after him."You aren't going to wait? You don't want to see Yuna?"
Tidus stopped dead in his tracks. "Would you want the man you loved to see you like that if they were going to think it was the first time meeting you?"
"Uh, n-no, sorry!" Jace was startled and didn't know what to think. She had never seen such emotion burning in his eyes before. It was strong and yet, calm at the same time.
"That's what I thought." Tidus stormed out of the front doors of the medical unit to see Yuna standing on the sidewalk. She was so different. She had on a shorts skirt and a corset, paired with knee high boots. Could this be the same girl that he knew? And why was she just standing there?
"Tidus? Ic dryd oui*?" Yuna said starting at him. Her eyes opened even wider than Jace's had in the medical unit. "E tuh'd pameaja drec!*"
"Uh, do you speak English?" Tidus asked looking at her confused. He knew he should have taken the time to learn Al Bhed.
AN: Yes I am actually going to use Al Bhed in this. And NO I do not actually know Al Bhed, I'm not that much of a Rikku fan.
First* Is that you?
Second* I don't believe this!
