"Damnit kid, why'd you have to wake me up so early?" Jecht complained, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. The fayth of Bahamut grinned from under his hood. "I need you to make a special trip for me." Jecht frowned, scratching his head. "For you? But you're a fayth, aren't you supposed to be able to do all this divine stuff?" He said sarcastically. Bahamut shrugged. "I'm just going to ignore the sarcasm and ask anyway." He paused as Jecht sighed. "I need you to go awaken the fayth of Valefor for me." Jecht raised an eyebrow at him. "ME? Why can't you do it?" He asked in protest. Bahamut's expression turned serious. "Because Tidus' life is in danger and I'm going to need Valefor to help me." But Jecht persisted. "How is it in danger? Won't he just come back here?" He asked, hoping he'd say yes, but instead Bahamut shook his head. "Go get him quickly, I'll explain later." Jecht just nodded and ran off to find Valefor as Bahamut yelled after him. "Wake him gently, he really is bad for mornings!"

Tidus and Rikku slowly made their way to Wakka's hut the next morning. It was a bright sunny day that was already promising to be a hot one. Tidus slowly knocked on Wakka's door, almost wishing that he wasn't home. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" Wakka said on the other side of the door. He pulled it open and saw Tidus and Rikku. He smiled brightly. "Hey man, you pumped to see Yuna, ya?" He smiled as he punched Wakka in the shoulder playfully. However, Tidus didn't return the smile, or make a joking remark, and Rikku looked as if someone had just died. Wakka looked back and forth at both of them. "What's going on guys? Did someone die or something that I didn't hear about?" Rikku shook her head. "We came to tell you and Lulu something." Wakka was about to speak, but Rikku raised a hand to silence him. "What we're about to tell you is probably going to get you and Lulu pretty mad, and I want you to know that whatever you do when you're angry isn't your fault, ok?" She looked him straight in the eye as she said it, never glancing away. Wakka suddenly felt a chill down his spine as he wondered what could be so bad. "Uh……..ok." He said, unsure of what he was agreeing with. Tidus took a deep breath. "Wakka……..I've fallen in love with Rikku and we've, uh, done certain things----" He got cut off by a shocked glance from Wakka. "Wait a minute, you're telling me you've cheated on Yuna and you had sex with a-an Al Bhed?" His shocked gaze steadily began to grow into anger. Tidus didn't like this look at all, as Wakka's face was turning red. He scratched the back of his head, and with his other hand tightened his grip on the Brotherhood. "Um, yeah." He said softly. Suddenly, Wakka burst out in his rage. "God damn you! I can't believe this! Didn't you think of Yuna at all? Oh but I guess not when you're busy FUCKING AN AL BHED!" He spat at Tidus and lunged at him. Tidus jumped away from him and watched as Rikku tried to stop him. "Damnit Wakka, listen to us-" But she got cut off as Wakka shoved her off his arm. He walked back into his house and went straight to his room. Tidus ran over to Rikku. "Go Rikku, get out of here, there's no telling what he's going to do now." He spoke quickly, now holding the Brotherhood out in front of him. However, Rikku shook his head. "We're doing this together." She put her hand on his, and Tidus knew he was defeated. Suddenly, Wakka came back out of the house, carrying his chest of blitzballs with him. He flipped the lid open on the chest and started pulling out blitzballs, some with spikes, some with other various ailments on them and began throwing them at Tidus, as Rikku ran for cover behind a rock. Wakka threw the balls left and right at Tidus, who either kicked them aside or swung his sword at them. "Wakka! Don't do this, I don't want to hurt you!" He yelled at Wakka. But Wakka just ignored him and continued to throw the balls at him. Finally he came to the World Champion, his most prized blitzball. "This one's for Yuna!" He screamed as he threw this special blitzball at Tidus. It whirred as it flew at his head, but he was ready, as he leapt into the air and booted it back at Wakka in a sphere shot. The ball whirred the other way and struck Wakka in the side, which caused him to fall on his knees and grab his side. Tidus ran over to his friend. "Wakka…….I'm so sorry." He offered his hand to Wakka, but Wakka pushed it away. "I thought you were my friend, man…….. I thought you were Yuna's friend, hell I thought you were all of our friends. But then you do this to us. We've already seen enough hurt in Yuna's eyes, why do you have to add more? What did she ever do to you?" Pain and hurt had replaced the anger in his eyes. Tidus could feel his eyes watering, but wouldn't let Wakka see. "You don't know what I've been through either, Wakka. Nobody has! NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!" He screamed so loud the neighbors could hear him. "Understand what?" A soft voice asked from behind him.

"Alright kid, I found him and he's pretty pissed off so you better have a good explanation." Jecht said. Bahamut looked worried now. "Turns out there's no time. Get him to come in here, I'll have to explain when it's over." He turned away, concentrating on something. Jecht growled with frustration and walked out of the room, dragging a very angry Valefor behind him. "Alright Bahamut, what is it now? You KNOW I hate being awakened for now reason." Bahamut just nodded with a slight smile on his face. "I know, but since I've determined that you have the greatest bond with Yuna, You'd be most willing to help." Valefor folded his arms across his chest and scowled at Bahamut. "But he said that I was supposed to come help Tidus." He said pointing at Jecht with his thumb. Bahamut nodded. "You are helping him, but you'll be helping Yuna indirectly." He explained. "How so?" He persisted, but Bahamut wouldn't say any more. He just pointed to his head. "Concentrate on the pyrefly signatures of them and watch what happens. All I'm going to say is be ready for some drastic action."

"Tidus, what's going on here?" Yuna asked, distressed by Wakka and Tidus, seemingly best friends fighting over something. "Tell her Tidus. Tell her you son of a bitch. God damn Al Bhed fucker!" Wakka snarled at him. Tidus just sighed and turned to Yuna. "Yuna, you know I love you……but something's come up, and my feelings are all mixed up, I don't know what to do anymore. I-I've fallen in love with Rikku, Yuna. I'm so sorry." He looked up at her, and saw tears begin to fall from her eyes. "Tidus…….you know I've been waiting to see you for so long, and this is supposed to be the happiest day of my life, yet it's the worst all over again." She started crying and ran off towards the ocean. Tidus' eyes went wide, as he knew where she was going. "Yuna, no! Stop, we can work this out!" He screamed as he ran after her, but she ran faster. Now Wakka and Rikku came running, with Lulu just leaving the house to see what all the commotion was. She got to the beach finally and stopped just as the tide washed around her feet. She turned and saw Tidus coming towards her, when suddenly Rikku cried out: "STOP!" She was breathing heavily and looked at Tidus. "Please don't leave me Tidus, I need you." She pleaded with him. Tidus began to panic. "But I, but Yuna……….no I can't………..ARRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!!" He let out a ear splitting scream and put his hands on his head. "What's wrong with me? Why are my feelings so messed up? What's going on………?" He groaned as he fainted to the beach and blacked out.

Meanwhile the two Aeons and the former Sin concentrated on this new development. "Oh my God, what has my kid done!" Jecht pulled at his hair. Bahamut shook his head. "No Jecht, it's not his fault, it's just that his spirit is in array, it must be some kind of side effect of us transporting him back." Jecht stopped pulling his hair and sighed. "Yeah, you're probably right." Valefor groaned. "Does this mean that I'm gonna have to stay awake with you now?" Bahamut laughed. "Unless you can find someone to trade off with." He said. Valefor rolled his eyes. "Like that's going to happen." He paused, thinking for a minute. Finally he forgot it and just sat there. "Well, I guess it is for Yuna, so it can't be that bad." He said optimistically. Bahamut just looked at him, which caused Valefor to start complaining again.
***
Tidus slowly opened his eyes. He couldn't tell where he was at the moment, as he had a major headache and everyone inside of him felt as if he had been lit on fire. He sat up in bed, only to be pushed down again by somebody. He looked up and saw Yuna. He smiled brightly. "Yuna! You're alive!" He exclaimed as he wrapped her in a hug. She smiled lightly and hugged him back. "Yes, Tidus I think everything's going to be ok." She said. Tidus pulled away and looked at her. "It is? I mean, you and Wakka and Lulu aren't mad at me?" He asked eagerly. Yuna shook her head. "No, Tidus, because it seems we've found the problem, why your emotions were all mixed up and why you fell in love with Rikku." She said. Just then, a figure walked through the door. Tidus thought it was Wakka for a second, but once the figure came into view, the face was so familiar to him that it caused him to scream. "Hi Tidus." It said.
Author's Note: Well, Yuna's back and looks like everything's back to normal…….or is it? Find out next chapter who the mysterious figure is. (Tidus knows this person REALLY well, and it's not Jecht or Seymour or Auron or his mother just so you know.) And don't think that just cuz Yuna's back means I'm gonna leave poor Rikku out in the cold, cuz I got something for her too.
Well Yuna fans, it's the moment you've been waiting for. Everyone's favorite summoner comes back to Besaid, and the fireworks begin! (Not literally fireworks of course……..). Without further ado, chapter 5!!
