THREE


Yuna smiled as they ran through the flowery field… She laughed happily… Has she forgotten? Forgotten whom she really loves?

Yuna held on tight to Shuyin's hand as they ran through the field. Yuna watched as his hair flowed through the air gracefully. His body had some sort of angelic glow, like the sun just shined directly on him, but there was no sun.

I can't just go with him… I need to go back but… at the same time I don't want to. All of these thoughts seemed to pass through Yuna's mind in slow motion.

She felt the petals of the flowers brush past her suede boots as she came to a stop. Shuyin stopped and turned back to Yuna, wondering why she had stopped.

"What's wrong Lenne?" he asked, still with that bright smile on his face. His face glowed with sincere passion. His love shined through his smile in many directions. Yuna couldn't bring herself to tell him, she wanted to go. In that songstress dressphere, it kept her from saying that. She felt compelled to just follow him anywhere he might take her.

"What?" he persisted.

"Um, nothing." Yuna looked back up and smiled.


What can I do for you?

What can I do for you?
I can hear you
What can I do for you?

Ano hi kokoro no kanata ni
Egaiteta basho ni iru
Tohou ni kuretetari suru
Keredo mou modorenai

Yume ni mita katachi to wa
Nani mo ka mo ga chigau
Genjitsu ni wa...memai sae suru

Real na sekai ni yureteru kanjou
Maketakunai
Mou tada hashiru shika nai kono mune ni
Kikoete kuru
Kimi wa hitori ja nai

What can I do for you?
I can hear you
What can I do for you?

Kesshite furimuki wa shinai
Anata ni wa tayoranai
Nani ka ga areba kanarazu
Sugu ni kite kureru kara

Ima boku ni dekiru koto
Sore wa shinjiru koto...
Shinjitsu nara kono mune ni aru

Real na sekai ni yureteru kanjou
Sasaeru no wa
Sou—anata ga oshiete kureta subete
Ima no watashi
Dakara, hitori ja nai

What can I do for you?
I can hear you

Real na sekai ni yureteru kanjou
Kanjite mo
Anata ga me o toojita nara soko ni iru
Kizuna ga aru
Dakara hitori ja nai

Real na sekai ni yureteru kanjou
Sasaeru no wa
Sou—anata ga oshiete kureta subete
Ima no watashi
Dakara, hitori ja nai

What can I do for you?
I can hear you
What can I do for you?
I can hear you…


"Look!" Rikku yelled. Paine turned and watched as the shining light began to fade.

"What?" Paine looked at it strangely.

"Okay! Something really weird is going on here!" Rikku spoke up…

Paine walked over to where the light had been shining. She bent down and examined the area.

"There's not a sign that this light was even here." Paine stood back up. The area was clear; no more lights, and not even dust or anything to prove that it was there in the first place…

"Well, if we're not going to jump in after Yuna, why don't we go back to the ship and wait for her?" Brother suggested.

"Yeah, sure." Paine agreed solemnly and led them back to the ship…

I need to— I need to tell him I can't go with him… I don't even know who he really is… What can I do? I mean, I don't ant to hurt him, he's so sweet, and he must have loved Lenne a lot…

"Um, Shuyin?" Yuna stopped.

"Lenne, why do you keep stopping?" He smiled and asked in a playful voice.

"Because…" Yuna couldn't get the strength to actually tell him.

"What is it Lenne? You know, you can tell me anything." He smiled more. Just looking at his face, made Yuna want to hug him… and the sensation of love kept coming to her mind. It seemed to be overpowering her will. She still wasn't to sure about what to think…

"I— I can't," Yuna stuttered.

"You can't what, Lenne?"

"I— I can't— go with you…" Yuna finally let out. There seemed to be an awkward silence between them as Yuna said those words.

"What do you mean Lenne? You still, love me don't you?" Shuyin asked. Yuna watched as his smile began to fade, and she wondered if she had made the right decision or not.

I don't think I should tell him I'm not Lenne… That could hurt him so much. Maybe I should just play along a little… Maybe I could just tell him to go, and he doesn't need me, or Lenne rather. He just needs to rest…

"I mean, that— you don't need me to be happy…" Yuna said.

"What— Yes, I do Lenne. I love you. I always will, and I need you." His plead was so sweet, but Yuna couldn't give in.

"No. You need to go on. You don't need me. You will be happy, don't worry." Yuna said.

"You don't love me?" Shuyin looked at her worriedly. He placed his hands on her upper arms and stared into her chocolate brown eyes. "Lenne?"

Yuna couldn't stand it anymore… She wasn't Lenne, and she hated tricking him like this.

"I'm not Lenne!!!" Yuna shouted. She could've stuck her foot in her mouth.

"What? — No, you're Lenne. You look just like her! Don't tell me you're not who you are!" Shuyin seemed to be going crazy almost.

"No. This is just her dressphere… I'm not Lenne, I'm— Yuna." She looked back into his blue eyes that soon became filled with anger. He pushed her away and she fell to the ground.

"Where's Lenne?" he yelled out into the openness of the Far Planes.

Please no. Yuna thought…
