XOXOXOX

They had all been taken by surprise by Zidane's impromptu performance. It was very well done, and that was the first surprise. Secondly was the fact that the self-proclaimed womanizer intended for just one person, one Princess to hear him. What had drawn all the other warrior's attention though, was that the thief had gained back a small amount of his memories from it. That was the part that interested Tidus the most. Ever since they had gotten their Crystals he'd known there was someone waiting for him, but not who. He was hoping that Zidane's method would work for him. Zidane had said he's held the brief flashes of her face in his mind and let the music come to him . . . and the thief hoped, go to her.

He was Technically on first watch tonight, but he'd talked Bartz into trading him nights and doing his shift with Zidane.

So with a deep breath he closed his eyes and grabbed hold of the memory that often flitted across his sleep.

Short brown hair, slim and tall for a woman with a willowy build that hid the will of steel she possessed. A multi-hued gaze most often settled into a determined expression. Then a flash of those same features only this time soaking wet with her hair dripping into her face which did nothing to hide the tears she'd been fighting to hold inside for awhile.

While he wasn't a great singer like the tailed thief, he could, unlike Jeht, carry a tune. He paused to consider what he most wanted to tell his so strong, and yet so fragile woman. A deep breath to collect his thoughts and allow the music to settle inside his head and he let the words go on the exhale, a small smile finding its way onto his mouth as he did so.

If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry

And if I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't sigh

Don't look back at this time as a time
Of heartbreak and distress

Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
Oh I'll be with you, oh oh

Blue and green eyes staring at him and offering to believe he hadn't gone crazy and that he really was from where and when, he said he was and, WHO he said he was. Smiling at him, as he learned about the strange time and place he now found himself in. Exhausted as she stumbled out the summons chamber and sadness as she danced on the top of the water and caskets to make sure the dead stayed dead, doing the never ending work to clean up in the wake of a Monster. . . in Jeht's wake.

Then the last time he had glimpsed those eyes filled with an unbearable amount of despair as the truth hit home that now that she was victorious, he would have to leave her. Why he had to, he couldn't remember, maybe to come here and help fight, all he knew was that he did.

But If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry

And if I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't sigh

Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress

Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams

Dreams? Yes, that was why he had to leave. HE was a dream, a memory of the dead, forced into the waking world by a ghost to help her end a cycle of pain and misery.

And ended by her victory

Don't cry, I'm with you
Don't sigh, I'm by your side

Don't cry, I'm with you
Don't sigh, I'm by your side

She had cried, tears just barely held in check as the realization of what ending the cycle had cost. A Cost he'd found out when they had arrived in the ruins of the town he'd called home and (a very annoying) summon had explained what had happened to him. One that he had hidden from her and the others and chosen to bear alone, because he didn't want them to waver when the time came, because the planet, the people who lived on it and HER where far more important to him then he, himself was.

And though my flesh is gone, whoa
I'll still be with you at all times

And although my body's gone, oh
I'll be there to comfort you at all times

Even as her body fell through his and those tears started to fall, he'd fought to keep a smile on his face for her. He did not want her last memory of him to be of his sadness, because then she would think he regretted his choice.

Cause if I'm Gone when you wake up

Please don't cry

And if I'm gone when you wake up it's not Good-bye

Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress

Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you

I'll be with you in your dreams

He let his voice get a little louder, because this was the most important part. It was the thing that he desperately needed her to UNDERSTAND.

He didn't regret ending that cycle of tragedy. He wouldn't regret ending this one either. His friends deserved to go home, deserved to have their homes saved from being swallowed up by Chaos.

Please, please understand. He thought and hoped his voice and his thoughts would reach her.

I don't want you to cry and weep, oh
I want you to go on living your life

I'm not sleeping an endless sleep, oh

'Cause in your heart
You have all of our good times

Oh, all of our good times
Oh oh you have

Crashing a wedding by sliding down cables and watching as the bride tried to put the groom to his eternal rest. Helping Wakka's teams win the Bliztball championship and watching the man cower before Lulu. Rikku and him pranking the rest of the team when things seemed too serious.

And if I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't sigh

Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress

Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams

Oh
I'll be with you in your dreams

"I regret nothing Yuna, and I would do it all over again if it meant I still got to meet you."

Allowing his eyes to slide open showed him . . . Cloud Strife of all people. Glowing blue eyes as impassive as ever as they took in the youth before him.

"Ahhh . . . umm sorry Cloud. I didn't mean to keep you from sleep. I thought I was pretty quiet-"

"Did it work?"

Yup, that was Cloud for you, straight to the point. The older blonde was not one for idle conversation . . . or anything else for the matter.

"A little." He answered carefully, worried yet again, that his fate might cause the others unneeded worry and some of them to waver. Not Cloud or Squall or even the Warrior of Light, but Zidane and Bartz sure would. "Enough."

Those blue eyes narrowed at him and Tidus wanted very much to take a step back and out of the reach of the other blonde's huge blade. He seemed to weigh the words out.

"Not the type of song I would have picked for someone as normally cheerful as you. Ferion or Cecil maybe, but, definitely not you. What is it that you do not regret?"

Tidus felt his own eyes widen as the blonde confirmed he had been watching. Much like Squall, Cloud disliked getting too involved with the other warriors, even though Tidus had been trying to be his friend since the start. He thought the older man needed someone to pull him out of his own dark thoughts.

"Ummm . . ."

"It sounded a whole lot like a funeral dirge." A pause as the older man's hand went to the handle of the massive blade he fought with. " You will explain."

A sigh as he realized he wasn't going to be let out of this conversation unless he told the other what he wanted to know.

"Let's just say . . . I know exactly how Kuja feels."

Those glowing blue eyes widened at the implications of that sentence and Tidus used the others momentary surprise to dart backwards and head back to camp, right past his second observer, whose pale clothes and blonde haired should have drawn Tidus's attention but he was too caught up humming under his breath to see him.

I'll be with you in your . . . dreams

XOXOXOXOX

I always thought that 10 was sad and he would know how Kuja feels. Both of them are gone as soon as the battle is over. It doesn't matter if they win or lose. Anyway thanks for reading, this is a new record for me 2 stories up in the same day.
