Don't you just love me updating so often? XDDDDD; *eye roll* or maybe it's just because I have nothing better to do. ...*coughs* I didn't wanna torture anyone too long ^^; There is ... some um, fluff in Chapter 6. So bare with me here on this one. I know that it's not everyone's cup of tea. ~_^ Chapter 5, Reunited.
*note* If anyone is dying to know why my quotes are kinda weird.. well, it's from my japanese game and some of their quotes are much more "artistic" in that ...way. ^^; But yes I have played the English game and am leaning more towards that than the original. So that was if you were really thinking I was being really weird or something.. XD
"When you whistle, I'll come fly to you."
Lulu ran as fast as she could down the path, stopping aburptly around the corner. She hovered over Yuna's body as a parental-like sheild. Her eyes, facing down at first, shifted to view the person who was standing near Yuna. The red, inspiring eyes widened as Lulu saw Tidus before her.
"No. It can't be you. You're ...dead," she managed to stammer, choking a bit on her words. Lulu swallowed her. Tidus just ran his fingers through his hair (which he seemed to do quite often) and shrugged slightly.
"You're not supposed to be here. What are you doing alive anyways?" Lulu demanded. Her voice was shrill, cold, and downright rude. Tidus seemed to sink a little obviously feeling as intimidated by Lulu as others did. Lulu helped Yuna to her feet. Brown lockes of hair were covering most of her porcelain face. Though it was very clear that her face was covered with tears. Maybe of anguish or shame. Or even happiness. But there wasn't enough time to find out. Lulu grabbed her arm fiercely and began walking her back to the village, away from the spectators and the newly returned Tidus.
Tidus stood there in shock. He didn't know how to react or what to think. This was not his view of what should have happend. "No," he thought, "This isn't how it's supposed to be. This wasn't what was supposed to happen." In frustration, he threw his hands up into the hair, sighing extremely. Without saying a word, he walked away from the crowd and down the beach.
"What's wrong with 'im?" Keepa asked the rest of the Auroch's quietly, "Should we leave 'im alone?" The others nodded.
"Yea, it's probably for the best," Rikku responded. The Auroch's all looked at each other with little expression and returned to their practicing. Unfortunately, they didn't have much more attention left for practice and didn't really focus the rest of the night.

"Oi, Lu! What's wrong with Yuna?" Wakka asked as he saw the defeated-looking Yuna enter with the aid of Lulu by her side. Lulu just shook her head, sitting Yuna down on the bed.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Lulu replied, smoothing the hair out of Yuna's eyes.
"Ahh, com'on! Try me!" Wakka boasted. Lulu sighed, taking a washcloth to Yuna's face, wiping the tears away.
"Tidus. He's back," Lulu said very unenthusiastically. Wakka's eyes widened and he shook his head while waving his hands dramatically.
"No no! That can't be right, Lu! Stop pullin' my leg! He's not back. He died. Just like Chap did..." he clamped his hands over his mouth. Lulu glared at him, her eyes seemed to be piercing into his, "I'm sorry, Lu.. I didn't mean to bring it up." Lulu sighed heavily, showing her disgust for the topic at hand.
"Go see for yourself if you don't trust me." Wakka looked at her quite puzzled. He had not choice but to go satisfy his curiosity. Nodding to Yuna and Lulu slightly, he bursted out of the hut, running down the trail to the shore.
Yuna pushed Lulu's hand away when she went to brush the tears from her face and eyes. Apparently Lulu was concerned by this.
"Just leave me alone, alright?" Yuna pleaded. The tone in her voice sounded so desperate. All Lulu could do was nod and turn on her heels, following Wakka.
"Tidus... you can't be back. You.. just can't." Exhausted, Yuna flopped her head down onto the pillows on the bed and fell asleep with tears streaming down her face again.

When Lulu made it to Wakka and Tidus, she saw them laughing and acting like they always did. Rikku was there too, enjoying herself as much as they were. She couldn't help but smile. Maybe there were positives to having Tidus back. And maybe she was a little too harsh on him before. Straightening her skirt and smoothing it down a little, Lulu approached the two "brothers" and Rikku.
"Lu! Can you believe it!? It's really him!" Wakka exclaimed. He looked like he could jump out of his skin, he was so excited. Tidus just grinned. Lulu smiled again, folding her arms across her chest.
"Maybe I was a tad harsh back there. You do forgive me, right?" It seemed hard for her to say but she was able to say it anyways. Tidus laughed a little, putting his hand on his hip.
"It's no problem. I guess it must have startled you," his smile faded a bit. He obviously was thinking about what Yuna had said to him, "Does she hate me?"
Lulu stopped her laughing and smiling as well. She truthfully didn't know how to answer him.
"I don't know, Tidus. But I do know that she's missed you.. Alot. We all have," Lulu added. Admitingly, she did feel better to have him back. There was something about him that could make anyone smile any day.
"Oi, oi!" Wakka shouted. His face showed he was on to something, "Maybe.. we could set them up again, ya? I mean, they obviously need to do that. They both need each other, ya?" Lulu took a long fingernail of hers and scratched her forehead slightly. Rikku started rocking on her toes.
"That's a great idea!" Rikku yelled happily.
"I don't think so..." All eyes turned to Lulu, "Well, you have to admit: Yuna really didn't like seeing him earlier." Tidus looked down. He didn't want to admit it to himself. Afterall, this was his love.. or so he thought.
"I'm going to the village," Tidus said slowly, "And none of you are going to stop me." He walked past all of them and down the trail to the village. Once he got there, he looked in several huts (and was greeted by the villagers happily) looking for Yuna. Finally, he found her.
Yuna was lying there fast asleep. Her tears had stopped but they were still smeared on her face. Tidus stood very still in the doorway, admiring her in every way a person can be admired. He walked to her slowly, as not to wake her and knelt beside her bed. Every breath she made he could hear. After taking off his gloves, he slid one of his hands into her bandaged hand and brushed the hair from her eyes with the other. Waking her up was not in his favor so he wanted to be as gentle and quiet as possible.
Suddenly, he felt her squeezing her hand around his.. affectionately.

Not an extreme cliffhanger but one enough to motivate me to write the next chapter. Maybe you'll see the other tonight ^^ Thank you all for your comments! I love them!
