Chapter 38

A Frustrating Dream

We now had two uniforms. One from Gagazet, and the other from the Oasis on Bikanel. I walked over to Shinra to see how his work was going.

"This may be one of my greatest inventions yet!"

"Is it finished?"

"Almost."

I left him to his work. After asking around a bit, we heard that Leblanc's goons had crossed the Moonflow. Yuna and Rikku decided to come up from the Moonflow while Paine and I would start from the Highroad.

"So, what are planning?"

I looked at her in surprise.

"What?"

She smirked.

"Yuna and Rikku told me you have a sort of extra sense with your dreams."

She told me what was discussed and I smiled a bit.

"Yuna always understands what I'm doing before I even explain it. And she's exactly right. I'm going to try and bring Auron back through my dreams. I know it sounds impossible but it's the closest I've come to getting him back."

She put her hand on my shoulder.

"Do what you have to. I really do hope it all works out for you."

I smiled at her with a nod. We didn't find a uniform but we did find a sphere.

"So that's where they left it."

Ormi arrived and I sigjed in annoyance.

"I appreciate yous finding it for us though." said Ormi.

"You're talking like we're gonna give it to you." I said.

"What? You're not giving it back?"

Paine and I shook our heads and his eyes went wide.

"The nerve!"

As Yuna and Paine approached, Logos came as well.

"The Gullwings."

Ormi ran to him.

"These meanies won't give me back the sphere." he cried.

It took all my self control not to laugh.

"So, then we take it back."

I wasn't even gonna give them a chance to start. Logos had brought two goons with them.

"Nice uniform." I said.

While Yuna, Rikku and Paine fought Logos and Ormi, I knocked out the goon and took her uniform. I saw Logos and Ormi run off and I smiled. I looked at the girls and held up the uniform.

"Score!"

"That's it then."

Yuna looked at me curiously.

"You're not coming?"

"I have my own personal mission to attend to."

She smiled and I winked before we headed back to the airship.

Yuna, Rikku and Paine were now dressed in their uniforms.

"Well?" she asked.

"Its perfect." Brother said.

I smiled a bit.

"We're off to Chateau Leblanc!" said Rikku.

"Let's settle the score." Paine said.

I nodded. I wouldn't be going with them this time. Since Shinra was so smart, I'd asked him to make me a little something. After they left I went to him.

"Is it finished?"

"You sure about this?"

I nodded and he handed me a bottle.

"Don't worry, it won't kill you."

"Major side effects?"

"You might feel a little light headed when you wake up."

"And the other?"

He held out a second bottle.

"It's a good thing he's already dead."

"Is it gonna hurt him?"

"No, but it probably won't taste very good."

I nodded.

"What if it doesn't work?"

"Then I may need to tweak a few parts of the formula."

All I could do was nod and go to the cabin. I sat down on the bed and looked at the bottle. I took a deep breath.

"Auron please be here."

I opened the bottle and drank the contents. The taste alone was enough to make me pass out. I fell onto the bed and then turned on my side, feeling as though I might be sick.

"Amahy?"

It worked! I looked up and there he was. I sat up slowly, making sure I wouldn't get sick. He knelt down in front of me.

"Amahy what is that?"

I reached out and touched his cheek.

"It worked."

"What worked?"

I threw myself into his arms. He kissed me hard and I knotted my fingers in his hair.

"Amahy wait."

I leaned back and he looked at the bottle.

"What did you take?"

"A friend made it. It's going to help me bring you home."

I held up my other hand, but the bottle hadn't traveled with me.

"Damn!"

"Explain."

"That bottle was meant for you. But something went wrong. 'I know everything' yeah right. Now when get back he'll just say 'I'm just a kid' like that'll make up for everything."

"Tell me you're not dead."

"No. I promise I'm just here until this wears off."

"How long?"

"Maybe an hour."

He looked at the bottle again and I continued to look at him. The thought of having him back, alive...

"It has to."

He looked at me.

"He'll keep trying and we'll get it right. I'll bring you home. To our son." I said.

He kissed my forehead and I tried to pick up the bottle. My hand kept going through it. I growled and slammed my hand against the table. It moved!

"Anger." I whispered.

I thought about all that had happened. Yunalesca killing Auron, my father leaving Yuna and I to defeat Sin. I thought about Seymour and how he tried to force my sister to marry him. I felt myself wrapping my fingers around the bottle. I smiled and held it up. Auron smiled at me and kissed me hard. When I tried to give it to him, he couldn't touch it.

"It's not of this world." he told me.

"Then how can you touch me?"

He moved his hands up my sides.

"I never questioned it. And I won't start now."

I frowned.

"Auron... I'm so close to getting you back. Aren't you frustrated?"

He smirked.

"Not the same way you are."

"What?"

He grabbed me and pinned me to the wall.

"Do you realize where you were sitting the entire time?"

I slowly smiled when I realized it.

"You're that kind of frustrated."

He chuckled and I smirked.

"Well, I do have some time."

He kissed my neck and I closed my eyes. I unbuckled his belt, never tearing my gaze from his. It fell to the ground with a thud and he lifted my shirt. I raised my arms so he could take it off and he tossed it on the bed. He yanked down my pants and then turned me against the wall. He was being rough and I loved it.

"Auron! Mmm..."

I could feel his hard cock pressing against my leg. He kissed my shoulder and reached around to rub between my legs. My head fell back against his shoulder and he bit my neck. His free hand moved to my breast and he squeezed a little too hard. I made a pained noise and he stopped.

"I'm sorry!"

"It's alright, keep going!" I begged.

He took me back in his arms and had me spread my legs a bit. I moaned loudly when I felt his cock sliding against me. I smirked and caught him between my thighs. He growled and bit my shoulder. I took pity on him and let him go.

"Try to be at least a little gentle, my love."

I looked back and he kissed my lips as he slid his engorged cock inside me. I put my hand on the wall to brace myself and he covered my hand with his. He didn't waste any time and immediately started to thrust. I broke the kiss to cry in pleasure.

"Oh... oh Amahy!"

His breathing was ragged and his breath was hot on my neck.

"I want you to scream my name." he said.

If we had more time I'd make him work for it. But now that I knew I was even closer to getting him back, I was happy to give him whatever he wanted. He twined our fingers and I brought his free hand up to my breast. Auron suddenly hit a sweet spot inside me and I cried out his name.

"Do it again!" he growled.

"Auron! Auron!"

"One more time!" he grunted.

"AURON!"

He gave one last hard thrust and I tightened around him. We came together and he held me close as my legs started to wobble. We sank to the ground slowly and he held me to his hard chest. I turned in his embrace and kissed his lips. He ran his fingers through my hair and slid his tongue into my mouth. Eventually the kiss slowed and he pressed his forehead to mine.

"I'll keep trying. I've gotten this far, nothing will stop me now." I told him.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me up against him. I closed my eyes and buried my face in his shoulder.

"And I refuse to truly die until the day you give up. And I know that day will never come." he whispered.

I looked up into his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I thought about your question, how am I able to touch you. I promised you I would never really be gone. Perhaps... I'm still not really gone."

I leaned back and propped myself up on my elbow.

"You're still unsent?"

"Not exactly. I don't know what I would call it. But part of me still clings to the world of the living."

I thought hard for a minute.

"Our time is running out." he said.

He softly moved his hand up my arms and cupped my cheek.

"I've underestimated you several times now, I won't make that mistake again."

I covered his hand with mine.

"If I can't get you to take it in this world... maybe I'll have to come to yours somehow. You know, other than a painful death."

He smirked and I chuckled. I kissed him hard before smiling at him.

"Don't give up hope yet. I'm close. I love you Auron."

He kissed me hard.

"And I love you." he said against my lips.

I managed to kiss him one more time before I opened my eyes.
