"Let's go kill Sin!" Tidus pumped his fist into the air, "Come on! Let's go!"
"Not yet. We need to revisit all the temples and villages. We need to prepare ourselves. But soon, soon we'll go inside sin." Lulu pet Yuna's hair and broke the hug. "Let us leave this place."
"Come we have a long journey ahead of us. Kimahri's story only ended. Let us hurry before anymore end." Auron picked up the Masamune that rested on the ground and slung it gracefully over his shoulder holding the handle of the massive sword.
"Sir Auron, Kimahri has died. Give us time to grieve." Lulu cradled the Onion Knight and stared at Yuna with worry.
"No. He's right. Let's go." Yuna wiped back the rush of on coming tears and began the long trek to the Djose temple. They encountered many fiends along the way, but as time went on, the battles seemed easier and easier. They don't realize just how strong they truly are.
"I'm tired!" Rikku moaned, shoulders slumped over, she dragged her feet to keep up with the rest of the group.
"We will rest once we get to the Djose Temple, we're almost there." Auron sighed exasperated the fork in the road in sight. Closing his good eye for a brief moment, he waited for the rest to catch up.
"Why can't we just take Pops's airship? It'd be faster!" Rikku trudged weakly passed Auron crossing the bridge.
"We need all the experience that we can get. We have no idea what exactly Sin has in store for us. Or what's inside it." Yuna spoke softly, letting her cousin lean on her. "Let's go inside." Yuna headed over to the massive doors when Tidus cut in front of her.
"Lady's first." He opened the door and allowed Rikku, Yuna, and Lulu to pass. Wakka stood there unsure of what to do. "Go on. Go in!" Tidus waved Wakka in.
"Hey that's insulting, ya?" Wakka exclaimed, a low grunt came from behind them and Auron came into view. He walked into the temple ignoring the snickers from Tidus.
"Ah, how may I assist you?" A temple priest walked over seeing the party gather in the middle of the gigantic room.
"May we rest here?" Yuna asked.
"Of course Lady Yuna! It's so wonderful to see you again." The priest bowed smiling.
"Thank you." She too bowed acknowledging her thanks. "Rikku." She called softly waking the teen that fell asleep on her shoulder. "Come on." She walked with Rikku into one of the chambers, Lulu closely behind them.
"Good night!" Tidus yawned and jogged over to the chamber on the other side of girls'.
"Me too, ya?" Wakka trailed after Tidus and stopped, looking back. "You coming too, ya?" Auron shook his head, hiding the yawn behind the massive collar that hid most of his face. "Okay. Come in whenever you're tired." Wakka barely caught the closing door, and went inside. Auron heaved a sigh and placed his Masamune against the temple wall. He allowed the sleeves to his red trench coat slide delicately off his broad shoulders, and drape loosely over the belt. Both hands reached up to unhook the collar from its place. Folding it neatly, he placed it on the ground and laid the Masamune on it, heaven forbid the entire blade touches the coarse ground and get a single scratch on it. He leaned on the wall, his good eye scanning the room. He was always on guard when the party slept, it was one of the unspoken rules in the group. He rarely slept, so there is no point of complaining. He crossed his arms across his chest and allowed his thoughts to consume him.
"G'night Yunie!" Rikku yawned, and subjected to the sleep the warm bed offered her.
"Good Night, Rikku." Yuna chuckled softly, snuggling into the makeshift cot the Temple set up for her.
"We'll leave once everyone is up tomorrow." Lulu's voice drifted off, still cradling her Onion Knight.
"Wakka?" Tidus called to the man lying on the floor.
"Ya?"
"I don't want Yuna to die. I was so stupid to try to rush her to kill Sin."
"It's okay, ya didn't know, ya?" Wakka's slurred voice became faint, and then only the sound of his soft snores filled the silent room.
"Yunalesca is dead." Tidus shifted in his bed, drifting into the sleep his body needed.
