EPILOGUE
A/N:: Haven't even thought I was going to write an epilogue anyway. I said that I was thinking that one may be nice but I never said I would write one or that it was suppose to be part of the story coz I wasn't satisfied with what I wrote and they way I wrote it for some reason. But here I am, writing one after how long so enjoy it ^^.
It was hard for a long time living with this truth without anyone else to talk to. Sure I had wanted to talk to someone about this whole ordeal but no one knows and who would believe him? Or who would believe me? Every single time whenever we stay at a hotel for a few nights, I always see Yuna and Tidus like a married couple, my unstable emotions replay over and over again. What if what Tidus told me was a dream? If he did tell me, he sure acted like probably it was just a hoax he made up when he got drunk. Besides, he was drunk when he said that too.
I see them exchange glances during dinner without saying a word. And Yuna is so in love with him. You don't need to be traveling with us to figure that out. Well, as far from that moment at that time, me and Tidus didn't speak to each other at all. We didn't ignore each other I think. I don't think we were avoiding each other. I don't know. There was just nothing to say to him afterwards. And I definitely didn't want to grow onto him since in reality, he doesn't exist. He's just a dream. And dreams fulfill your deepest desires and wishes so what was the point of loving a dream when it isn't real?
I wish I could tell Yuna now. It's better that her heart breaks now than rather her feelings grow even stronger and have it broken beyond repair when the time comes. Even though I feel like I have to be her rival, she's still my cousin and I still love her very much no matter how much her relationship with Tidus hurts me.
I headed over towards the platform of this ship. Usually Tidus is there looking out along with Yuna. If I knew they were there, I wouldn't dare go up to greet them. I admit, I'm scared of what I would see if I went up there. Because I still don't know if I can take Tidus's word for it. And no matter how much of the truth he speaks (or was he really really drunk?) at the back of my mind, I don't want to believe it.
But I went anyway, stepping up on the platform and look out. I want some time to myself anyway. I don't even know if Tidus is really that important to me anymore. What will he do though when the time comes for him to leave? And most of all...what would he say to me?
As I arrived, everyone was up there already. I meant all of Yunie's guardians. I guess this was the moment that we head on and fight Sin. I suppose...I mean, I guess they all looked so prepared compared to me. It's sad really. I don't even know what to do. They all look so ready to fight while I'm sitting out here, probably the only person here that really thinks they aren't up to it to fight. And over there, are Tidus and Yuna just looking over.
"Rikku!" Tidus turns around and waved at me. I felt my heart completely jump as if it was the first time someone had mentioned my name. I guess I still harbor so many feelings for him and I don't want that to happen. Yuna looked over and smiled too which was able to calm me down a bit. "Where've you been?" he asked walking over. Surprisingly, Yuna didn't follow and looked over. "You're late." Tidus's voice died to a gentle, sad whisper.
"I...I'm sorry." I just can't look at him in the eye anymore. So what he said was true. Or perhaps I'm just convincing myself a little too much.
"Anyway, about Yuna, I know the time is getting a lot closer but..."
"Have you thought of anything?" I asked. I felt him sigh in distress. It must really hurt him inside. It's embarrassing for me to say this but I think he can't be with me because he doesn't know how to explain his actions to Yuna. Leading her on like this, I don't know. Perhaps it was best if she never knew.
"I was hoping you've thought of something too?" He asked, his eyes written with confusion.
"Sorry." I looked away. I hate not being able to look at him directly in the eye. He must really think I'm avoiding him. But as I looked past him, I saw an object floating in the sky. I don't know if anyone noticed yet but I think it's getting closer. "Uhh...Tidus..." I mentioned as gasps were heard from Wakka and Yuna. Lulu and Auron and Kimahri remained calm though and Tidus turned around quickly seeing what I had saw.
Sin.
-----------
After fighting Yu Yevon, we found ourselves back on the ship for no explained reason at all. Yuna destroyed. I felt the moment has come as I looked around, the clouds and the atmosphere completely catching my attention. Tidus did mention that once we beat Yu Yevon, that it would be his last battle. Out loud. To everyone. Of course, I was the only one who knew what he meant so I stayed silent while everyone else looked at him a bit oddly.
Last?
I turned around quickly seeing the pyre flies which began to emit from him. Already? It's too soon though! It's too soon for him to leave. I felt my heart began to shatter and I saw Yuna shaking her head, refusing to believe what was happening. Did she knew all along? Well, she probably knew enough when Tidus said it was going to be his last fight.
Did Tidus fight knowing that he was going to die? Or even worst, never cease to exist?
Wakka stared in bewilderment as Tidus stepped away and turned around seeing me. It was perfect eye contact. I don't know what happened but I think that the fact had suddenly hit like ice that I realized he wasn't coming back. He won't be someone I can meet in the Farplane so I can at least remember his face. He won't be back. He's not coming back. Did it take that long for me to realize this?
He mouthed something to me real quick. Too quick I couldn't tell what he said though but he quickly turned towards Yuna who I knew was being ripped from inside. I wanted to cry so badly seeing my cousin falling apart like this. She's in worst shape than me. She won't believe it even though it's right in front of her. Tidus began walking towards the balcony and stopped as Yuna ran towards him. I wanted to stop her but before I could, Tidus seemed to have caught her for a split second but she fell straight through him.
I cursed in Al Bhed. It almost gave me a heart attack just seeing that. But Yuna just laid there on the ground and there was nothing I could do to go and help her up. But Yuna stood up and didn't look at him. Tidus looked back at us one more time with a sad look and mouthed something to me again which I still couldn't pick up. Damn.
He walked towards Yuna and tried to embrace her although he and I knew that both of them wouldn't be able to feel it. I wished he was the one embracing me but we both knew that we had to keep it a secret. It would be too much breaking Yuna's heart like that. Especially during this moment. I always wondered if Yuna knew that Tidus didn't love her all along.
He then walked through her and headed out further towards the edge of the ship. Every inch of my mind told me to yell at him to not leave. This was the last moment that I would ever see him again and it won't even be a happy ending for me nor for him...and for Yuna as well.
Unexpectedly, he turned around one more time to see us all. I guess he'd want a good look at us before he would entirely vanish from existence. It won't be a happy ending. There was no joyful beginnings to start with anyway. Yuna was standing the closest to him. So he'd obviously look at her, but he looked at me though as if expecting me to do something. I remembered.
A cheerful good-bye. As much as a dark ending it is, might as well add a little light to it. Even if it does kill me from inside, at least it would feed him some last bits of happiness before he leaves us forever. Even if it is false happiness.
"Come back soon, Tidus!" I jump waving. Wakka, Lulu, and Kimahri stared at me as if I was crazy for being so cheerful in such an important moment. Tidus grinned at last. I think Yuna's smiling too. I don't feel any kind of sadness radiating from her. "We'll be at Besaid Island and we will meet again! Especially when you wash up on shore in the Baaj Temple and have a giant creature attack you, and I'll have to come to save you again, okay?"
He nodded with a smile at me once more before breaking eye contact, turning and prepared to jump over the ship. And he did. I don't think it hit me that he had just left us three seconds ago. But he's gone. Forever. Isn't that a bit long though?
Perhaps I should have used that machina to take a picture of him.
A/N:: Yes I've heard about FFX-2. Well I didn't write the epilogue to reach as to that part. Why? I just didn't know what to write since I know nothing so far but if it takes from the Rikku in this story, I would have probably written that she was shocked that she saw Tidus in the sphere and why he only mentioned Yuna as if she was HIS girl and mentioning nothing about Rikku. Yeah. Anyway. Hope you liked it ;;. Coz I'm finished with this fic. Like as in DONE. COMPLETED! ^^;;
