Chapter 6- A Moment of Love & A Moment of Hate
Tidus and Yuna were sitting on the bed in Yuna's new hut in Besaid. Yuna had told Tidus that since Besaid had become more populated, she decided to move her hut to a remote spot on the beach.
"It sure has changed here.", Tidus said.
"Yes...it has. Like I told you before, it's gotten more crowded, but it's still pretty quiet and peaceful.", Yuna said followed by a long moment of silence.
"I...I think I'd better go now. It's late.", Tidus said breaking the silence.
"No, I want you to stay. Please?"
"If you really want me to I will."
"Thank you."
All of a sudden the door burst and Lulu rushed into the room with a very stern look on. She turned to look at Tidus.
"You...", she said pointing to Tidus, "...will sleep outside on the hammock and if you take one step in this hut I swear you will regret the day you met me!"
She then grabbed Tidus by the hood of his jacket and pulled him off the bed and dragged him to the hammock outside Yuna's hut.
"C'mon Lulu! We're not going to do anything! Anyway, aren't you supposed to be resting? You did just have the baby a couple of days ago.", he said while he sat down on the hammock.
"I don't care. Remember what I said, you take one step in there and you die."
"Okay! I got it!"
"Good. Now goodnight.", she said as she walked off.
As he layed down onto the pillow, he began thinking to himself. 'This is so boring, but I can't do anything with Lulu watching.', he thought to himself as he stared at the stars questionably, 'I wonder what's really going on...I could sense that my dad and Auron were hiding something from me. It was obvious that they were lying about some things. If I try to ask my dad, he probably say that it's 'too important for me to know'.....but...still......I've got to find out what's going on. I got the fact that I'm dead, but there has to be clue to not only what I am now, but also why I'm here. If the fayth created me, then they must know of what I've become now.....' All of a sudden he heard footsteps. When he look to see who it was, he saw Yuna walking toward him. He then sat up.
"Aren't you supposed to be in your room?", he said.
"Well, Lulu said that you couldn't go into my room but she never said that I couldn't come out here.", she said as she sat onto the hammock next to Tidus, "You've been thinking about what's been going on, haven't you.", she said while she stared into his eyes.
"Yeah...I have. I've been thinking that since I was a dream created by the fayth, that maybe if I could speak to them again they could tell me what I've become now.", Tidus said while staring down.
"So you want to go back to Mt.Gagazet?"
"I guess so."
"You never thought of just asking Sir Jecht and Sir Auron?"
"I have but.....knowing them they'd never tell me. I could sense before that they were keeping something from me, and they probably won't tell me what it is. That's the whole point of a secret. So I guess I'll have to find out for myself."
"I'm coming with you."
"No, I have to go by myself. And anyway, it's too dangerous."
"Tidus...as I've told you before, I love you. I will never leave you.", she said as she put her head on his shoulder.
"Yuna, we can't keep doing this. I can only put you into more danger than you already are. It will never work between us...no matter how much we love each other."
"I don't care.", she said as she looked into his eyes, " Our love has survived everything that we have been through. We haven't come this far for nothing, I refuse to give up."
Tidus stared into her eyes, sensing her determination. He began to lean forward and as he did he closed his eyes. Yuna closed her eyes and began to lean forward as well. Their lips met, although only for a second, it seemed as though it was an eternity.
"Yuna, are you sure about this?"
"Very...", she said as she put her arms around her and kissed him.
Fadeout- 2 hours later...
Yuna slowly opened her eyes, awaking from her slumber. She saw dark storm clouds in the night sky above her. She felt next to her Tidus but found nothing. She sat up, covering herself with the blanket. Looking around for him, she saw Tidus sitting on the shore in his shorts, staring out into the sea. She began to stand up with suddenly a dark spirit began to hover around her.
"Get away!", she shouted.
Tidus jumped up and turned around to see the scene behind him. He ran to Yuna's aid.
"Get away from her!", he yelled as the dark spirit flew into the sky as he grasped Yuna.
Suddenly the dark spirit began to glow and shifted into a person. Tidus and Yuna let out a small gasp. It was none other than Seymour.
"What are you doing here!? Why won't you die already!?", Tidus shouted.
"Did I come at a bad time? I'm so sorry.", he said giving an evil laugh, "I have come for you Lady Yuna. You shall join me, and together we shall share ultimate power."
"As I have already told you Maester Seymour, I will never join you!"
"So be it...if you will not come with me willingly, I will take you by force.", he said as he summoned five powerful fiends.
Tidus grabbed his sword and readied for attack. As one of the fiends lunged at him, he quickly dodged it and slash it, causing much damage to it.
"Yuna! Get out of here!", he said fending off another fiend.
"I want to stay and fight!", she said as she fastened they sheet around her and raised her hands into the air.
White lights streamed around her and when they cleared she was wearing what appeared to be a blue dance outfit. She quickly ran into her hut, grabbed her pistols and tied her ammo belt around her waist. She ran outside and quickly shot one of the fiends sneaking up behind Tidus in the eye.
"Since when do you know how to use those?", Tidus said as Yuna ran to his side.
"Since Rikku taught me.", she said as she shot yet another fiend.
Tidus powered up and then used double cast to cast both Slowga on the fiends around them and Hastega to Yuna and himself. He then quickly rushed at one on the fiends and slashed it, cutting off it's head and causing it to burst into pyroflies. Yuna fired rapidly at one of the fiends that lunged at Tidus, and it too burst into pyroflies.
One of the fiends, now pissed because of it's two fallen comrades, sent an energy beam at Tidus. Tidus tried to dodge it, but it hit him straight in the chest. As he tried to stand back up, they world around him began to spin. He felt himself get stronger but at the same time, lose control of himself. The fiend snorted, he had cast both berserk and confusion on the pathetic human. Yuna ran over to Tidus to see if he was okay, but as she drew near him he tried to slash her. Luckily she was able to dodge it. As she backed off, a small cut appeared on her cheek. She had dodged his attack but barely. She wiped the blood off her cheek and sighed. 'This is going to be harder than I thought', she thought to herself, 'Luckily I still remember how to use my white magic, it's been so long since the last time I did.' She concentrated and tried to cast Esuna to heal Tidus. A weak light surrounded Tidus. He felt himself gain slightly more control over himself and the world around him stopped spinning. Yuna had been able to cure his state of confusion, but not the berserk. He madly attacked one of the other fiends and it immediately burst into pyroflies. Yuna concentrated again, harder than before. Another light appeared around Tidus, but this one was stronger and brighter. As the light cleared, he felt himself gain total control.
"Thanks.", he said to Yuna.
"Your welcome."
Tidus then ran at the fiend that Yuna had wounded earlier and thrust sword through it, causing it to finally die. Yuna reloaded her guns and killed off the last fiend with ease.
So, this will be harder then I thought. But, nevertheless.", he said as he raised his hands above his head, causing a GIANT sword to appear, "This is the end for you both!", he said as he swung his sword at Tidus, "You will be the first to go!"
"You can't kill me that easily!" he shouted as he dodged the attack and raised his sword, ready for attack.
Yuna stared at the scene in front of her. Both Tidus and Seymour just stood there in a face off. Neither moved an inch.
"So what are your last petty thoughts before you die?", Seymour said finally breaking the silence.
"Just shut up!", Tidus said as he ran at Seymour.
Tidus powered up to his fullest extent and used his ultimate overdrive, Blitz Ace. Seymour just stood there and absorbed the power of the attack. He hadn't even flinched.
"Your weak efforts mean nothing!", Seymour shouted.
Seymour ran at Tidus and before Tidus could do anything he thrust the hilt of his sword into Tidus's stomach. Tidus grabbed his stomach and fell to his knees in pain. As the pupils of his eyes faded into the deep blue, he fell limp to the floor. He just layed there, still as the night around them. Seymour turned his gaze from the limp form on the ground to Yuna, who was staring in awe.
"It is now your turn Lady Yuna.", he said as he began to walk toward her.
She began to madly fire her guns in panic until a simple clicking sound showed that she was out of ammunition. She backed away in fear staring at the unharmed Seymour. Seymour slashed his sword at her but she dodged it. As he then held out his hand, a black light flew from it and surrounded Yuna. The light around her bound her, she was unable to move.
"Lady Yuna, I shall free you from all your fear and pain. Then you may join me in death.", Seymour said as he readied his sword for attack.
A tear rolled down Yuna's cheek as she awaited her end. 'I....I can't die like this.....', she thought to herself. She thought of Tidus, who was probably dead, and of Wakka, Lulu, Rikku, Kihmari, all her friends. This was her end, and she was ready to accept it. As Seymour began to thrust his sword at her, Tidus came out of no where and pushed her out of the way. The sword thrust through Tidus's stomach. Seymour backed away in surprise. Tidus, still standing, grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out of his stomach. With one last effort, he swung the sword at Seymour, slashing him across the chest. Tidus then dropped the sword, fell to his knees, and gave a final look at Yuna before dropping to the ground.
"How.....could.....how could...you......?", Seymour said as he disappeared into pyroflies.
