Chapter 1: A Guardian Returns



Yuna sniffled as she walked down the stairs of the Luca stadium. She had lost the love of her life. As she continues walking down the stairs, memories flash in her head…Different quotes that Tidus has said to her, or even to others… "I wanna scream real loud…. AHHHH!".. Yuna smirked a bit, and chuckled lightly. Before long, Yuna was at the exit of the Luca stadium. Yuna heard the roars of the crowed, cheering on the blitzball team. Yuna sits down on a bench, and waits for LuLu, Rikku, and Wakka to return. She knew Wakka would be late, because he just signed up to play the next team, although he said he was going to quit blitzball… "I'm going to play for Tidus! I mean... I should dedicate all my games to him, ya?", he said, just before she left. She heard tiny foot steps coming down the stairs, just faintly… She wasn't that close to them. She looked over to see LuLu and Rikku coming out of the exit.

Rikku jumped up and down and waved her hand in the air, "Yunie!". Rikku ran over to Yuna, and sat down beside her, with LuLu walking slowly to her. "Yunie! That was a great speech! And thanks to you and—", Rikku looked over at Yuna, to see her looking down. "Oh..Sorry", Rikku said.

LuLu spoke up, "Let's go, Yuna. Wakka said he would follow us when he was done."

Yuna nodded and stood. Rikku did the same. They all started to walk back to Besaid. When they were just about to board the S.S. Liki, Yuna heard something small emerge from the water, followed by a gasp. She could only assume it was for air. She looked over the docks, to see someone with blond hair. The person looked up and smiled. Yuna almost fainted, when she saw that so familiar face. It was Tidus! Tidus climbed up on the dock. Yuna hugged him really tight, not taking care to the fact he was wet.

Tidus pulled away, and chuckled. "I told you I would come running." he said… Yuna hugged him again, this time, it was tighter. LuLu smiled widely and walked over to them.

Rikku squealed and ran over to Tidus. "I told you I would see you again!" she said, with a laugh in her voice.

LuLu approached Tidus and said, "Good to see you again.".

Tidus chuckled, and hugged Yuna tightly. Yuna smiled as she pressed her cheek against Tidus' chest. Tidus lifted her head up, and whispered into her ear, "I love you too.."
