Hi there, it's been a long wait. But thanks for reviewing my last chapter!
I hope you all like this one enough to review again. Enjoy!
I walked out of the mansion sluggishly, half happy for the delay that this would give me, but half disappointed, because I really believed in my heart that I was going to marry him. And it would be the right decision. I reached my hand into my pocket and pulled out my mothers necklace that I always carried with me. Why didn't I just put it on? It would be the more honoring thing to do. Maybe I was disrespectful; surely, if I was a good young maiden I would wear my mothers necklace. I sighed, and said aloud, "I don't wear it because it isn't mine, and she never told me to wear it anyway, she told me to keep it close to me at all times." I said to myself.
I relieved myself of this thought as approached my comrades. Lulu was waiting there, as impatient looking as always. Tidus and Rikku were both chatting together excitedly. Wakka was sitting on a stump, looking at a sandwich, as if he couldn't decide what to do with it. And there was Auron, standing by himself, proudly. Not even glancing in my direction, he always acted like he didn't care, but I knew that did. The way he looked at me from across a room when he thought I wasn't looking, he always had this longing in his eye, it was a look of hurt and the fear of rejection painted on his usually tough demeanor.
I let out a sigh, and decided I would go over there and tell him what was going on. That I had missed my chance to marry a maester, what a loss that was.
As a came up beside him, he sighed, acknowledging my presence. I took a deep breath, and a laced my fingers together behind my back. I prepared myself for his attitude that was to come, and said, "Sir Auron, the maester wasn't present in his mansion. Which way do we go now?" I asked, knowing exactly what he'd say.
He ran his fingers through his thick brown hair, then he turned to look at me, "Yuna, since the maester was not present, we will head into the Thunder plains and complete our journey. until we meet with the maester again." He said, sounding like all he wanted to do was get the job done as quick as possible.
I glanced into his eye and said, "Couldn't we take things a little slower? I want to make things the best I can, with the time I have left on this foul planet." I said, my voice taking on a hopeless tone.
He lifted a hand to my face and caressed my cheek, "Don't talk like that, you know there is no other way…for this planet to be safe again, unless you go in there and defeat sin once and for all." He said, attempting to sound caring.
I lifted my hand to his that was resting on my cheek, I gazed into his eyes, feeling the tears start to come when I thought about the love I could never have with him.
I felt a tear slide down my cheek; he wiped it away softly and he kissed me. I let myself drown into him. All the more tears that claimed my face, the more I wanted him, wanted him to touch me in ways I'd never felt before. Quite possibly never feel. I broke the kiss, and looked down at the ground, feeling pathetic. He gripped my hand in his, "I know this is sudden, but please, live. Live until the day the Spira asks you to lay down your life." While he said this, I could swear I heard sadness, and self blame in his voice. Was it possible that he knew something that I didn't? if he did then what was it. I had to ask him, that was the only way I'd find anything out. "Auron, is there something about Yevon that could damn us all?" I asked him, sounding worried.
He looked up surprised, "No. Where would you ever get that idea?" he asked, as if he didn't know.
"You sounded like there was something bad about Spira, something that made me have to kill sin. Something that gave me no choice in how I wanted to spend the rest of my life." I said strongly.
"If you wanted to drop out now you could, no ones stopping you. But, don't come to me when you realize that you made the worst, most selfish decision of your life!" he said defensively.
I sighed loudly, "That is enough, let's get moving, shall we?"
He didn't reply, he just moved past me on his way into the Thunder plains. I gazed at him, watching him push his way past people, "God, what a jerk." I said to myself, and began my walk out of Guado salom.
Through the Thunder plains all I thought about was pain. What was it going to feel like when that faithful day came? Was I going to feel like I was being torn apart? That's enough, I can't think so negatively. The world needs me.
I stopped thinking to myself when Rikku ran under Tidus' leg and latched onto him. I could feel the disgust rising in me. Who did she think she was? Acting like a slut in front of everyone. Then I felt myself get angry when I heard Auron say, "Are you going to sit there and cry like a moron?" I knew it was dumb, but I felt jealous at the attention he was showing her. It wasn't even good attention, I reminded myself. Auron didn't like her, he was simply reminding her of how ignorant she was acting. I sighed happily; this was nothing to worry about.
After that long episode with her, we were at the inn. I decided that I wanted to get some rest right away; I left for my room without saying a word to anyone. Including Auron.
Boring! I know. But, the next chapter should be good, I might even have to change the rating, lol. Seriously, I might. I hope you all liked it, review, and tell me what ya think!
