Aha! Chapter 6 and at its best *grin* I couldn't stop writing XD; And let me worn you now - FLUFF IN CHAPTER. Everyone run! *dances* Then again, I know some do like it so nyah. Written with me listening to Weezer which can - lets face it - brighten up my day anytime. So this could potentially be a happy chapter. *gasp* Hope you all like it - Chapter 6, Forgiveness.
"It's alright. I can fly. ....Believe."
Tidus stared at her hand around his. He couldn't believe it. It's not that he didn't want to but it was just hard to absorb. Only just a bit earlier had she claimed her undying hate for him. And it truly killed him then and there. His hope for even returning to the "old times" was fading rapidly. But now there was this. Her hand around his. And it wasn't a grasp of hatred or depression. But of passion. Or maybe even a grasp of forgiveness. Either way he was surprised.
Yuna's eyelashes fluttered open, revealing her two unique eyes. She didn't smile but somehow, Tidus new she was happy to see him. Or he atleast hoped this was the case. Her gaze trailed not to him but out the window of the hut. There was no way she could look at him. Insanely suggesting to herself that it would only lead to another heartbreak. Avoiding Tidus would be her correct alternative.. not necessarily her one of choice.
"You can't come back," she said calmly, still looking out the window. Her hand dropped his as she hugged her knees to her chest. Sighing a little, Tidus began putting his gloves back on.
"But I am. So work with that idea however you want," he said coldly. Tidus stood up and walked towards the entrance to the hut. Her head whipped around to look at him for the first time. He was standing there, dejected and hurt. She truly did want to hold him at that moment and never leave again.
"You can't do this to me," Yuna cried. She couldn't hold it in any longer, "You come back all of a sudden and you don't realize a thing! I died 4 months ago.. inside me. And that's because you left. You and your stupid promise!" Out of frustration, she slammed her hand down onto the bedside table, "You said you'd always come when I whistled for you. But that was a lie. You didn't come for me. And now, suddenly, you just show up!?" Her palms were aching from her clenching her fists together so hard. The cuts were starting to bleed again as the pressure was opening them. But she could hardly feel it.
"Yuna..." Tidus walked towards her. She was sitting on the bed crying and panting rapidly. The amount of emotions she was feeling right now were too much for her to handle. He approached the bed and sat down next to her. His hand stroked her hair slightly while the other wiped her tears away. Putting a hand under her chin, he lifted it to face his.
"Forgive me... please?" he asked. The plea was honest and so meaningful. Her crying ceased and her breathing slowed down overwhemingly fast. In truth, she wanted to forgive him. Inside, she knew that was exactly what she was doing. Yuna didn't really nod in reply but somehow, Tidus understood that she had.
Without any further hesitation, Tidus embraced her gently, hugging her close to him. Feeling so much more relieved, Yuna wrapped her arms around him, hugging him back. It felt so good to be in his arms again. For once she felt happy and alive.
"I'm so sorry, Tidus!" she cried out to him. She buried her head into his shoulder. Stroking the back of her hair, he smiled slightly.
"Me too," he responded. Tidus pulled her away from him slightly. She looked up at him desperately.
"Please don't leave me alone anymore," Yuna pleaded. Smiling, he lifted her face to his, closing his eyes. In return, she closed her eyes, bringing her lips gently to his. It felt so good to kiss him - she could just melt into it that very moment. She felt like if she died at this very moment, she could die the happiest person on earth.
Memories flooded both of them. Their entire journey together flashed before their eyes as if to help them catch up with the past and resort back to it.
"Tidus...?" asked Yuna after pulling away slightly from him, "Where have you been?" That question was the one Tidus couldn't answer. He didn't know for himself so answering it was next to impossible.
"I... I don't know...." Tidus's voice drifted off. Words were escaping him - he had no idea what to say.

Lulu, Wakka and Rikku sat together on the beach staring at the waves roll in and out. All of them were deep in thought.
"You think they're doing okay?" Rikku asked. She had to break the silence. And she definitely had to know their opinion. Wakka shifted his weight a little shrugging a bit while Lulu let out an expaserated sigh.
"I would think, noting the fact that he hasn't returned," Lulu explained. Rikku brought a hand to her mouth, gasping a bit with a very mischevious (sp? -_-;) grin.
"So we shouldn't interrupt, eh!? Lord knows what they're doing now then!" Rikku shouted winking and nudging and doing more things of that sort. Wakka couldn't help but laugh. Lulu snickered a little but coughed to cover up the humor she found in the statement.
Lulu snorted slightly, "Rikku, I have no idea where you'd get such a thought; keep them to yourself." But Lulu just had to snicker.
The three of them laughed staring over the beach, catching up with Rikku with news of the rest of Spira and the progress of machina - things like that. It seemed that everything was right for once. Everyone was happy and they knew that an positive ultimatum would come between Tidus and Yuna.
But Lulu couldn't help but wonder how Tidus came back. The thought was plaguing her and made her uneasy. She couldn't bring up her question to the others. Lulu wanted to enjoy this moment as best as she could.

Contrary to belief, that was a HARD chapter to write -_-; I've come to the conclusion I suck at fluff. Forgive me, ne? XD; Anyhow. I know how this has to end and I have a few ideas in between to advance the plot with.. so just bare with me as I make a transition from one idea to the next. Sorry this chapter is a little shorter than the others .. or so it seems XD
