Author's Note: So, now we're going back to Yuna and her mystery man who called her to the front desk. And Seymour is still being a jerk (but what's new?). So, now that we're all relatively caught up, let the chapter begin!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuna stepped back, awe-struck by the man standing before her. How can this be? I just spoke with him in the Farplane only moments ago. No, this isn't real. It can be. Or can it?
The man laughed. "You're just going to stand and stare. You are more like your father, then you know. Awe-struck and wide-eyed by the unexplainable."
Yuna shook her head, finally putting her thoughts together. "Sir Auron, but how? What? Why? Huh? I'm so confused." She sat on a nearby bench and placed her hand on her forehead.
"Frustrating, isn't it?"
"You have no idea." Sighing she looked up at him. "I just don't understand how. I just spoke you, no even five minutes ago while you were in the Farplane. Or at least, I thought you were there."
"It's complicated."
"That's alright, I'm used to complicated." She smoothed her shirt, and pushed some stray hairs from in front of her face, and smiled.
"Have you finished fixing yourself for this story? I can assure you it's really not worth all the preparations." He chuckled at the face she made at his comment.
"Are you here to help me or just tease me?"
"A little of both."
"So, what is going on? How are you here?"
"As you already know, I was sent with the rest at the chapel." Yuna winced at the mention of the place where all of this started. "Are you alright?"
She nodded. And he proceeded with the conversation.
"When we reached the Farplane, it became of most importance for us to find out whatever could about Seymour's plan. He's using you, Yuna."
"So I've been told." The entire conversation was making her a bit fidgety. She needed to get up and move.
"No, you must understand, whether you want him to or not, he is pulling the strings. He is calling the shots on this pilgrimage."
Yuna could take it anymore, in one fluent motion; she stood and walked to the window in the corner of the room.
"Maybe it would be better if we talk about all of this in my room."
"Whatever you wish."
The young summoner walked past the guardian towards the hallway. "This way."
After walking past a few doors, they made their way to the room. Yuna bent down and placed the key in the lock. The lock made a clicking noise as it unlocked. Yuna twisted the handle and pushed the door open with a little force.
Auron glanced over the room as he walked inside. He turned quick when he heard a slam. Yuna was standing next to the door, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't know I had that in me." She said as she looked up and down the door. Cocking her head she made her way over to the bed, where she sat.
Auron pulled a chair from across the room, and positioned it in front of the Yuna. He sat and for a few moments, they just looked at one another.
"Do you want me to continue?" Yuna silently prayed thankfully that he had broken the silence between the two.
"Yes, please." She said with a slight nod.
"You see, I should have told you before, but I know it would interfere with your duties."
"Huh?" What is he hiding?
"Yuna, I was already dead before the chapel incident."
"Huh? This makes no sense." She shook her head slightly then looked back to him.
"For ten years I have been an unsent. Wandering around this world and it's parallel."
"It's parallel?"
"Tidus told me you believed him when he told you about Zanarkand, no doubt because of what you heard from Jecht." She nodded; she seemed to be nodding a lot lately.
He continued, "What he told you was true. There is another Zanarkand, one different from the one in Spira. It is everything the old Zanarkand used to be, all preserved in a memory by the fayth."
"By the fayth?" Yuna was completely confused. It was true she believed Tidus's Zanarkand existed, he even promised to take her there, and for a moment she believed she could really go. Just a moment though.
"Yuna? Are you listening?"
"Huh?" She looked up to meet his face. "Sorry, this is just a lot at once. I was just thinking. Please continue."
He began once more. "The fayth created a new Zanarkand to keep the old Zanarkand alive in a way. I made my way on Sin to this Zanarkand, where I watched over Tidus for the ten years after the defeat of Sin by your father."
"So, that's where you've been for the last ten years."
"Correct."
"But if you were an unsent during my pilgrimage, why weren't you sent when I did the sendings elsewhere, instead of just the one at the chapel?"
"My attachment to this world, and because of that same attachment, I was able to return the world of living."
Yuna gasped slightly and stood. "So that's why when I was speaking to you early you felt much closer than everyone else. You're words were much loader in my mind than anyone else's. I didn't really want to bring it up. In a way fearing the answer."
She walked to the window and gazed over the landscape. This was the first time really she had ever had a true conversation with Auron. It was a little weird to be truthful.
"And in conclusion," She began to speak once more. "You've come to warn me about Seymour and what he is planning."
"No, I know exactly what Seymour is planning. I've come to aid you in stopping him and his quest."
"But how? I mean, you can't just follow us around or anything. He would find you. He's…" Yuna's thoughts about Seymour just drifted off in that moment. She really didn't know how to describe him in a word. There were just too many words Yuna wanted to say about him, but most would be out of her character. She decided to just leave her sentence there. It was better than ending it.
"Do not worry, you'll be surprised to know, I'm quite the hider." He laughed.
Yuna smirked and giggled. "I'm sure you are."
There was loud knock at the door. "Lady Yuna, Lord Seymour has returned and requested for you." Yuna sighed.
"Oh joy…" She mumbled to herself. " I'm sorry I must leave."
"I know. Do not worry I will watch from afar. It is my duty, my last duty to your father."
She bowed and prayed. "Thank you." She made way to the door.
"Do not worry, Yuna, everything will be fine."
"I'm sure it will be." She smiled without looking at him and made her way out the door.

Author's Note: Sorry about the delay. I hope you enjoyed. Thanks to my reviewers: darknessofmyheart, Sakura's Sonata, Anime WarriorSkye, and Curleh. And thanks to everyone who alerted this story:DOh and as an added special thing, my sister wrote an alternate ending to this story. I would put it in the last chapter, but it was written for this one. So, here you go:
"I don't want to continue! I am going to eat you!" Auron yelled.
"Please no!" Yuna cried.
"No one will be able to hear you screams."
"AAAAAHHHH!"
Then nothing but silence. Deathly silence.
THE END
Or is it
Epilogue"Where am I?" Yuna said looking around in the dark room.
But she soon realized it was the tummy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if it was weird, I didn't write it. THIS IS NOT THE REAL ENDING! Just so you're sure. Thanks to everyone for reading:D
