Chapter 28
Love Lost
Somewhere inside I knew Jecht was still there. He was aiming at us more than Tidus. And every time Tidus spoke, Jecht seem to become weaker. Finally I saw Yu Yevon leave Jecht in a sort of blob form. Jecht was left lying there. I gasped and Tidus ran forward.
"You'll cry. You're gonna cry, you always cry. See? You're cryin'." Jecht said.
I heard Tidus sniff.
"I hate you dad!"
I had to smile.
"Save it for later."
Tidus nodded.
"Right…we've got a job to do, don't we?" he said.
"Good. That's right. You're my son after all."
"You know….for the first time, I'm glad….to have you as my father." Tidus said.
I smiled and a few tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Heh."
Yuna walked forward.
"Sir Jecht….I should…"
"No! Yuna there's no time!"
Yu Yevon buzzed towards us.
"YOU STAY AWAY!" Tidus shouted.
"Yuna! You know what to do. The aeons…"
I drew my sword. Some creepy kid appeared behind us.
"We aeons!"
"Call them!"
"Call us!"
Jecht disappeared and I silently bid him farewell.
"Here it comes!" Lulu shouted.
Yune began to summon the aeons, and Yu Yevon possessed each one. We bet them all down reluctantly. When Yu Yevon was the only one left to fight Tidus looked at us.
"Everyone! This is the last time we fight together, okay?"
I looked at him.
"Huh?"
"What I'm trying to say is….after we beat Yu Yevon, I'll disappear." He said.
My eyes widened.
"What are you talking about?" Lulu asked.
Yuna gave him a desperate look.
"I'm saying good-bye."
"Not now!" Rikku said.
"I know it's selfish, but this is my story!"
I walked up next to him.
"Then lets give you a great ending."
He nodded and the two of us ran forward. I wouldn't let him die. So when Yu Yevon focused his blast on him I got in the way and hit my head yet again.
Auron's POV
Amahy fell to the ground and I ran to her. She was still alive but she was out cold. She was always hitting her head, I wondered how she didn't have brain damage. I helped the others to defeat Yu Yevon and he dissolved. Sin would never again return. The cycle was broken. I knew Yuna would start to send soon. I lifted Amahy a bit.
"No matter where I go I will always love you Amahy. Never forget that. I love you."
I kissed her lips one more time. I could wait no longer. As Yuna was sending I walked out. She saw me and stopped.
"Don't stop."
"But Amahy…."
"Tell her….tell her I'm sorry…..and that I love her. But it has been long enough."
I walked forward. I looked at Tidus.
"Amahy won't stop until she finds a way to get you back. You know that." he said.
I nodded and put something in his hand and gave him my sword.
"Give these to her…..please."
He nodded and I walked onto the platform. I turned and looked at them.
"This is your world now."
"Auron? AURON NO!"
Amahy's POV
I was too late. I ran forward but he was gone by the time I reached him. I looked up where the pyrflies had disappeared.
"YOU BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU!?"
I fell to my knees and tears poured down my face. I stopped after about a minute and stood up.
"I will find you. I will never rest until I have you back." I said.
Someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was Tidus.
"He wanted you to have this. He loved you Amahy."
He held out his hand and in it I saw the beaded feather decoration Auron had once worn on his coat. I took it and held it in my hand. I hugged Tidus and squeezed my eyes shut.
"Thank you….my brother."
"No problem."
I pulled back and looked back up once more.
"I love you."
After Sin exploded so to speak I saw all the aeons disappear. Sin had been defeated. Auron was gone and now Yuna was sending the Fayth away. And I knew that once they disappeared….Tidus would as well. As she danced I watched Tidus. Even when Sin had completely vanished I watched him. I saw his hands and arms and closed my eyes. I walked over to him and hugged him one last time.
"Farewell brother."
Yuna now looked at him.
"No…"
"Yuna….I have to go."
She shook her head again. I stepped back.
"I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand."
He walked off and then said,
"Good-bye."
"Hey!"
"We're gonna see you again!" Rikku said.
I looked down until I heard Kimahri shout Yuna's name. I looked up and she ran to Tidus. He went to catch her but she went right through him. Tears formed in my eyes and Yuna stood up.
"I love you." she said.
I closed my eyes as Tidus went forward. I hugged Rikku and then I heard Tidus running. I opened my eyes only to see him jump off the airship.
"We will see you again. I know it." I said.
I went forward to my sister but she didn't look at me.
"We'll find him again Yuna. I promise."
She turned and hugged me. I hugged her back and both of us had tears rolling down our cheeks. We both lost the ones we loved.
