Love Has No Boundaries
(From Chapter 5)
The fayth was a lady who wears a simple white long dress. She has long curled brownish hair that reached the floor of the temple. Her eyes were like Yuna's, one was blue and the other was green. Yuna stared at the fayth's eyes took, a deep breath and stood up. Yuna was about to face the final trial of the temple, which could lead to her death.
Chapter 6: A Dream?
In the island, the sun rose again and a new day started. They were still waiting patiently for Yuna to arrive back. The Yevon symbol still glowed brightly and that made them relieved.
"I wonder when'll Yunie come back…?" Rikku asked herself.
"We still have a couple of days left before the marriage will start… We can still wait." Lulu said while she fixed her long braded strands of hair.
"Am bored, ya?" Wakka scratched his head.
"What do want to do then? Play Blitzball?" Lulu teased Wakka.
"It's not that Lu… Am jus' bored doing nothing but to sit in this gloomy forest, ya… Unless you want to do something with me Lu, ya?" Wakka gave a smile at Lulu.
"… Ugh! You still haven't changed Wakka…" Lulu said in disgust.
"Am jus' kidding Lu… Hahaha!" Wakak laughed.
"Laugh all you want…" Lulu said as she shook her head.
"Heeheehee…" Rikku giggled.
In the temple under the deep water… Yuna was now facing the fayth, and was preparing for whatever might happen to her.
"So… It has been a long time since a summoner came to me… Do you know the consequence if ever you will fail?" The fayth asked Yuna.
"Yes I know… But I will face it for love…" Yuna answered her with courage.
"You really love the person?" the fayth asked yet another question.
"Yes… I love him." Yuna said.
"Some people say that they love a person, but the love in their mind is different from what love truly is… Sometimes they say they love a person, but they are only afraid to be alone in life… Sometimes they say they love a person, but they only use this person for their own benefit or pleasure… Sometimes they say they love, because of the power that the person can give to them… I pity these people for they are blinded with power, fame, and richness… Love is not game that is to be played… Love must be decided carefully for you can end up facing the joy that love can bring you, or face the curse that can never be cured for eternity…" The fayth explained.
Without letting the fayth finish, Yuna shouted in rage.
"Do you think I am like that? No… You are wrong! I will not come here to get him back if I do not really love him. I am risking my own life just to get him… You understand right?"
"Hmmm… I see your point, but did you know that a lot of people or summoners try to get me even if they have love that is false? They are very brave to come here and yet they are not prepared so in the end, they perish. But, do not worry. I will give you a chance to prove your love to him. I am warning you that once it starts… It would mean life and death." The fayth said.
"I am prepared for what will happen so do what you need to do…" Yuna said.
The fayth asked Yuna to close her eyes. An enormous white flash covered the whole dark temple…
"Yuna? Yuna?"
"Huh? Who is it?" Yuna yawned.
She got up from her soft comfortable bed and saw a blond guy with yellow unbuttoned shirt and black shorts. Yuna widened her eyes, and tried to pinch herself…
"Tidus? Is that really you?! (Was everything just a dream???)" Yuna asked not believing what she was seeing.
"Ya Yuna. What's wrong? It's like you haven't seen me for ages…" Tidus asked curiously.
Yuna, puzzled, by what Tidus had said just jumped and hugged him tightly. She cried and cried, because at last his love, Tidus, came back to him. Tidus comforted her by wiping the tears that was coming out of her eyes.
"Don't cry Yuna… I won't leave you…" Tidus smiled.
"Okay… (sniff)… Promise?" Yuna asked.
"Promise… Now let's go out for a while and have a walk." Tidus said
"I've to tell the others that you're back Tidus." Yuna said.
"What 'others'?" Tidus asked Yuna in a quizzical look.
" Huh? You forgot Lulu, Wakka, Kimahri, and Rikku?" Yuna puzzled.
"I don't know any of them… Who are they? I've never heard their names before…" Tidus asked.
Yuna was surprised by the way Tidus acted. She pinched herself again to check if she was just dreaming. Her pinch hurt her, and that proved she was not dreaming at all.
"(What's happening? I don't understand… Is he really Tidus…?)" Yuna asked herself.
"Hey Yuna! Don't worry if you meet your friends… Maybe you could introduce me to them…" Tidus said.
"I guess so… (How come he doesn't remember? Oh well… I guess it's the effect of one being lost…)"
Tidus went out of Yuna's room and Yuna took off her pink pajamas and dressed up in her usual clothes. They went out of the small hut in Besaid Island. It was a hot sunny day, and they were enjoying it. Suddenly, she saw Lulu walking outside the store carrying a bag of supplies. She rushed towards her and shouted.
"LULU! Look's who's here!"
Lulu, shocked from the shout, dropped her newly bought items.
"What did you do that for?!" Lulu asked irritated.
"I'm sorry Lulu, but look who's here. It's Tidus!" Yuna exclaimed.
"… Huh!? I don't know any Tidus and will you please stop acting like we are close!?" Lulu raged.
"… Huh?… Lulu…" Yuna surprised.
Lulu walked away from them as she gathered her dropped items. Yuna just started at her…
"Why…? Lulu… Don't you remember our adventures…?"
"Hey… Don't feel so down… I guess she isn't really your friend…" Tidus comforted Yuna.
"No… Something's not right… Why is this happening…?" Yuna cried.
"C'mon… Let's just go to the shores to cool down a bit. Okay?" Tidus said.
They walked pass the green path towards the beach. Yuna was still thinking about what happened. She could not believe that her guardian, her friend, Lulu would do that to her… They reached the beach and the cool wind went towards them.
"Hey Yuna! Isn't the wind great?" Tidus asked.
"(Sigh)…"
"Yuna… C'mon… Don't cry… I'm still here… And I won't ever leave you." Tidus hugged Yuna.
"It's just that I can't believe that Lulu said that to me…" Yuna wiped her eyes with her soft hands as Tidus hugged her.
A ball suddenly hit her head. She looked back to see who did it and there she saw Wakka running towards her.
"Sorry, ya! It was an accident." Wakka apologized.
"It's okay Wakka… Look who's here?" Yuna asked.
"Where, ya?" Wakka asked as he shooked his head from left to right.
"Here… It's Tidus!" Yuna exclaimed.
"You're boyfriend, ya? Well… Have to go. See ya!" Wakka asked.
Yuna, surprised, stared again at Wakka walking away from them.
"(Why can't they remember anything…?)" Yuna thought.
"One of your friends again? I think he doesn't know you with the way he acted…" Tidus said.
"Ummm… I just don't know…" Yuna said.
"Don't worry Yuna… You don't need them… I'm here." Tidus said.
"Thank you, Tidus…" Yuna gave a small smile.
Yuna hugged him again for comfort. Tidus kissed her on the lips just like they did in Lake Macalania. It was a passionate one, but Yuna felt something was not right. She felt as if it was not Tidus' kissed. It felt different…
"(Why am I feeling that it wasn't Tidus who kissed me…? It's like it's a different person…)" Yuna thought.
"Something wrong Yuna?" Tidus asked.
"Oh… Nothing… I'm just thinking about something… Let's… just go back…" Yuna said.
"Ya sure!" Tidus agreed.
It was already late afternoon that they have reached Besaid. Yuna was tired and she told Tidus that she was going back to her hut to rest.
"I'm tired Tidus… I'll just rest back at my hut… Okay?"
"Okay… I'll just wait for you…" Tidus smiled.
Yuna walked away from Tidus and went to her small hut thinking about the kiss they had earlier. Her mind was distracted when she saw a girl with blond hair that is tied above her head. She ran towards her… She has to ask if she was the person she knew.
"Excuse me? Are you Rikku?" Yuna asked in anticipation.
"Fryd tet oui cyo? Ruf lusa ghuf so hysa, Rikku? (What did you say? How come you know my name, Rikku?)" Rikku said trying to go away from Yuna.
"Oh… I'm sorry… Maybe you just look like her… Bye…" Yuna said in embarrassment.
She knew she was Rikku, her Al Bhed friend. She wondered why everyone does not seem to know her. A tear went out of her eye and she ran to her hut. She did not notice that she bumped on a blue hairy man… It was a Ronso… She looked up on the Ronso and saw the broken horn that he has…
"Kimahri?" Yuna asked.
"Watch where you go… Kimahri not a patient Ronso…" he growled.
"… I'm sorry…" Yuna looked down to the ground.
She opened her door and went to her room and cried. She cried for hours, and when she stopped, she looked at the sky that was now dark. She looked at the bright stars thinking about what had happened throughout the day.
"Am I only dreaming…? Why do I feel that I am on a whole new world…? A new world with him… Only him… Yet… It's like he's not the Tidus that I knew before… His kiss… wasn't the kiss I felt during the first time in Lake Macalania… (sigh)… Lulu, Wakka, Rikku, Kimahri… Why did they forget me…? Am I not a good summoner as well as a friend to them…? " Yuna told herself.
A knock interrupted her thinking… She opened the door and she saw Tidus with a bouquet of flowers.
"Yuna… This is for you…"
"Thank you…" Yuna said.
She smelled the flowers that Tidus gave her, but at the same time she thought that she might not be the Tidus she loves so much…
"Hey Yuna!" Tidus exclaimed.
"Yes?"
"Let's go out… Let's go where there are no people to bother us…" Tidus suggested.
"Okay…" Yuna agreed.
They left Besaid and went to the falls. They stared at the beautiful scenery that it has. Suddenly, Tidus touched Yuna's hand and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Tidus? Can I ask you a question?" Yuna asked.
"What is it?" Tidus asked her back.
"Why do you love me?"
"… Hey! Are you doubting me Yuna!?" Tidus shouted.
"It's not that… I just want to know… Why do you love me?" Yuna questioned him again.
"Well… Ummm… I don't know…"
Yuna was shocked by the way Tidus answered. She did not expect that he would answer like that… Out of the blue, she just whistled…
"What's that for?" Tidus asked.
"You… don't get it… Do you?" Yuna asked.
"Why? Is your whistling got to do with something?" Tidus curiously asked.
Yuna, upset by what Tidus said, left him and hurriedly went back to her hut. She got in her hut and took out a knife inside the kitchen table and was about to cut her pulse in the wrist.
"How could you forget…? Tidus? You said I'd just whistle and you'll come for me… Come for me to comfort me from my sadness… I thought you loved me truly but all you said is that you don't know why you love me… Do you just love me because you're afraid to be alone…? Or… because for your own benefit…?" Yuna cried out.
Suddenly, she realized something and her knife fell to the ground.
"Or? I'm the one who is afraid to be alone… With no one to be with… I acted this way because they all left me…" Yuna thought.
She then remembered what Auron told them when he was still unsent…
"You should place trust in your friends, but you can't expect them to protect you all the time…" – Auron
"Auron… I guess you are right… I shouldn't be doing this… I mustn't give up… No matter what happens, they'll still remain in my heart…" Yuna smiled as she cried.
Another white flash covered the island, which made Yuna cover her eyes. She was now again in the dark temple with the fayth.
"The trial's over…" Yuna said.
"I am impressed summoner… You passed the last trial that only a few can survive… However, you nearly killed yourself…" The fayth said.
"I know… But I just remembered what my guardian, as well as a friend, told us…" Yuna explained.
"I see… Are you ready summoner?" The fayth asked.
"Yes." Yuna answered.
The fayth floated towards Yuna's body to be united with it. Yuna fell down to the ground as if her energy was drained… The symbol outside the temple started to blink…
"Hey guys! The symbol's blinking!" Rikku shouted.
They immediately stood up and rushed to the blinking Yevon symbol to see what was happening…
"Is Yunie… Okay?" Rikku asked.
"I do not know… I just do not know…" Lulu answered.
Blink…
Blink…
Blink…
………..
