(First up...YUNA!!)

Chapter 38: A heart made whole again (Yuna's happy ending)

By the time I awoke it was morning, Yuna had fallen asleep beside me and was still sleeping. Slowly her eyes opened and her shimmering, blue and green eyes looked down at me. Yuna blushed and so did I, Christie was laughing at us as we broke apart. Kimahri came to gather every one, Rikku couldn't hold still and bolted outside.

"Come on" Yuna led me down the ramp, we were in Macalania forest.

Yuna had led me away from the others, to one of the glittering crystal paths, where we now stood alone.

"So what's" Yuna flew right at me before I could finish, her arms wrapped around by waist.

I stepped back to regain my balance, but my foot met thin air. We dropped like a pair of stones from the path, there was a small plop as we hit the water. Yuna resurfaced and was only smiling at me sweetly.

"I didn't have that in mind" she chuckled.

"You got that right…everyone will want to know why we're all wet now" we both laughed and started to swim for shore.

I pushed Yuna put onto on of the paths "Thanks, now its your turn" she offered her hand which I took.

But as Yuna pulled me up and out and I stood straight, we were standing right beside each other. Yuna's eyes were glittering and her arms came around my waist. My heart fluttered started to flutter as we started to draw closer to each other. Our lips met and Yuna kept her hold on me.

"Thank you" Yuna broke her kiss on me.

"For what?" I asked breathless.

"For everything" she kissed me again.

Yuna held my hand as we walked back, her eyes had never stopped glittering. But as we came back to the ship I could hear music, its soft melody was heart lifting.

"Yunie! Max! Come join us!" Rikku and the others were all sitting listening to it.

I felt Yuna put her head on my shoulder, her hold on me warm and passionate. Gently I took her cheek in my hand, she looked up at me and moved closer. I believed I had found the right moment to tell her

"…I love you Yuna, for now and forever" the words came from deep within my heart. Yuna smiled sweetly

"I know. I love you too…" her soft silk lips once again took mine and fate…was forever sealed.

There we shared a kiss

That healed me

The pain had gone

And the light had stayed

I never thought I would hear those words again

I love you

-Yuna
