Tidus' world slowed down.
It had started to pour. Tidus fell to his knees looked up to the sky and screamed.
He looked back to Yuna's hut. His world was still in slow motion. He could see the others run past him, and start digging at the rubble. He could hear Wakka yell at him to snap out of it and come help.
He heard a voice in his head. "Tidus" It said weakly. He stood up.
"Yuna!" he yelled. "I can hear her! She's hurt bad, we have to hurry!"
The group froze and looked at him. "I'll explain later!" he yelled. "Right now, Yuna's in trouble, we need to help her!"
Tidus stepped onto the pile of rubble and began to dig beyond normal abilities where he sensed her. "I can feel her presence.." he whispered to himself. He lifted a huge column of wood and there she was, still in bed, blood pouring from a massive gash in her head. She still wore the ring he had given her, but he could see it was nicked a little where the column had hit it.
He lifted her, water dripping from his clothes and hair, tears dripping from his eyes. The pouring rain smeared the blood on Yuna's head, while fresh blood pumped from the wound.
Carrying her in his arms, he ran for the temple, not even bothering to wait for the others. He could feel her heart beat and see her breathe, but it was shallow, as if she were fighting a losing battle to breathe.
"Please don't die, Please don't die.." Tidus chanted as he ran for the temple. As he reached the steps, he had an epiphany. He lowered his head and kissed her. "I love you, so you WILL make it." He said, reaching a moment of truth.
He ran up the steps and burst through the door. The priest turned and looked at him. He saw Tidus' blood soaked clothes and Yuna's deep gash.
"Oh my..." he said, shocked. "What happened? Since the defeat of sin, there have been no fiends powerful enough to do this!"
Tidus looked at the priest. "Her hut collapsed. We dug her out, but… we might have been to late." He said, falling to his knees, gently placing Yuna on the floor in the center of the temple.
"There is nothing I can do… " The priest said. "She is too injured for me to use magic. It would not help."
Tidus suddenly fell backwards. "Remember" Yuna whispered, but it was not her voice. Tidus entered a trance, which he awoke from a minute later. "I remember" He whispered. "Thank you" He said, looking upwards.
Tidus rubbed his hands together and began chanting. His hands began to glow with a soft white light. He placed one hand on Yuna's gash. He placed the other hand on Yuna's cheek. Both of their bodies began to pulse with a soft white light.
"What the…" said the priest, as he began to quickly run to the door. The others burst through the door at about the same time, hitting the priest with the door and knocking him back into the temple.
The others turned and saw Yuna and Tidus glowing with white light. They dropped to their knees and began praying, not knowing what else to do, knowing somehow that Tidus had things covered.
Suddenly the glowing stopped. Yuna's eyes shot open as Tidus collapsed, sweating profusely, out of breath.
"That should do it' he whispered. Yuna sat up, and immediately lay back down. "Ouch!" she yelled. "I feel like a house fell on me!" Wakka stood up and walked over to her. "Eh, that's because one did." He said.
Tidus finally summed up enough strength to sit up. His hands still glowed faintly. The group turned and looked at him as he held his hands above his head and mumbled something. The glowing stopped.
"Can we help you?" they asked simultaneously.
Tidus grinned. "Could you go get us two glasses of water?" he asked, and then added "all of you?"
Wakka, Rikku, Kimahri, Lulu, and the priest slowly walked out of the temple.
When the door closed Tidus stood up and walked over to Yuna, helping her to her feet.
"How…" she asked, in amazement of the man who stood before her.
"It's called The Saving." Tidus said, brushing Yuna's hair away from her face. "The fayth kind of taught it to me as it sent me here."
Yuna was stunned. "The fayth…"
"Sent me here" Tidus said, cutting her off, pulling her close to him. "That's all I know. That's all that must be said."
They stood there for a moment, holding each other. "I love you." Tidus said.
Yuna looked into Tidus' eyes. "I love you." she said.
They kissed. As they were kissing, the group burst back into the temple. "Eh, I think we interrupted something." Wakka said, as he turned and started to usher the group back outside. The priest looked at the two, dumbfounded, until he saw light glint off the ring on Yuna's finger. "Oh" he said, as he walked out the door.
