Looking Back: By Rikkuyuna89
A young blond man's figure stood on a cliff, blocking the sun. His expression was restless, as he had to make a difficult decision. His bright blue eyes, that were normally playful, were clouded by a choice that he was going to regret. He turned back and looked into the eyes of the girl that meant everything to him. She shook her head sensing what was going to happen, her soft brown hair bouncing as she moved. Tears were flowing from her eyes as she whispered "no...no" All he could say was "Yuna"...
Yuna bolted upright, cold sweating running down her face. Just a dream she though to herself, shaken by what she just seen. It didn't feel like a dream though... maybe it was because it was the past. A truth she wasn't going to get over soon.
"Yunie!" an excited voice yelled. A blond girl ran into the room with a big grin on her face, the sun shining in her bright green eyes.
"Y-yes Rikku?" Yuna replied, was still shaken by her dream.
"Good morning... or afternoon really." Rikku smirked. Yuna was such a later sleeper... But she deserved extra sleep, after all that happened.
"What's going on?" Yuna said, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, trying to not look upset about her dream.
"Great news! C'mon! Lets go already!" Rikku was almost bouncing with glee about the good news, her smile even larger than it usually was.
"Ok ok! I'm coming" Yuna said as she got up from her bed, stretching her arms out and yawning. She walked over to her mirror, her barefeet padding on the cold wooden floor.
Rikku left the room while Yuna got ready, waiting outside the doorway looking outside the window. The warmth of the sun kissed her skin. I can't wait to get outside, Rikku thought. Afterall it was a beautiful summer day. Yuna emerged from the room all ready to go. They walked out the door and into the fresh, warm breeze of the isle of besaid. Yuna missed the small island when on her pilgrimage. She never thought she get to enjoy another day of it ever again... instead she lost something that meant more to her than any island. The islanders waved to Yuna and Rikku as they passed by. They known Yuna for many years, she was like family to them. She smiled and waved back politely, as she was taught by the temple elders when she was little. The temples meant nothing now...
Rikku led Yuna to Wakka and Lulu's house. The recently got married and they were happy together. Yuna loved them as if they were family. She lost her father and mother at a young age. Kimahri the ronso, took her to the besaid isle afterward. Yuna loved Kimahri, but she needed kids to play with. Lulu, Wakka and Chappu -who died for an honorable cause- played with Yuna everyday. They went through good and bad times together.
Yuna thought back to the first time they met. She wasn't use to besaid and the fiends there. She wandered of from the temple and was ambushed by a dog like fiend... she thought she was finished, until Wakka and Lulu saved her. They're live savers, she thought to herself. Rikku tapped Yuna on the shoulder and woke her up from her day dream.
"Tell her Lulu!" Rikku said, her face flushed from her excitement.
"Yuna... I'm having a baby." Lulu said, losing her cool composed look, replacing it with a smile. Wakka put his arm around her and smiled brightly.
"That's wonderful!" Yuna was smiling, thinking of the new baby to come. I'm going to be an aunt... sorta of, Yuna thought to herself. "I can't wait until he... or she, comes." Yuna added as she looked at Rikku, who was grinning at the idea of a baby. She could teach the baby to be al bhed, Rikku thought. Yuna giggled knowing what Rikku was thinking. Wakka wouldn't like the idea of an al bhed child.
Then it hit Yuna again. How could she ever forget? That terrible day, the day that changed her live forever. Yuna then felt cold thinking about it, her insides feeling like ice. She needed to be alone, to think. "I'm going for a walk" Yuna said weakly, as she walked away.
"Yunie?" Rikku called out in shock, but Lulu stopped her. She knew what it was like, and she knew that Yuna needed time.
Yuna walked along the beach, feeling detached from the world. She found the cove that she often went to, to think about her desicion to become a summoner. The waves crashed against the cove's rocks, roaring and droning over the sound of the besaid children at play on the island. A desolate place was what Yuna needed at a time like this.
"Why did you leave me?" Yuna whispered to herself, as she sat down on the rocks. She stared blankly at the sea, which was shining from the bright sun, then looked up into the sky.
"Why?" she managed to say after a few minutes. Tears coursed down her cheeks as she her head into her hands. I've lost so much, why did this have to happen? Why now, she thought to herself lost for words. She lost her father, mother, and now someone who she imagined her living her life with forever. Yuna layed on the ground silently as she thought about what happened. The cool sea breeze blowed her hair as the tears dried on her face. She was tired from the nightmare she had and sleep claimed her...
The night sky's moon illuminated the water, giving it a blue-ish glow. The reflection of the water rippling showed on the young man's face as he stared deeply into the girl's eyes. They were brimming with tears, as she sobbed in the water. The young man put his hands on the girl's shoulders as he said "Yuna" softly. He drew closer as the girl gazed at him. His lips touched her's as a tear from the girl fell on his cheek...
Yuna woke up again, but this time she didn't jump up shocked. She couldn't... she was devastated. She couldn't move as she felt completely numb.That dream was one of the most cherished moments of her life. It occurred to her that it will never happen again, and she couldn't take it. Why did it happen to her?
"Why!?" Yuna yelled, infuriated. She worked for the people so they could have love, so they could have and enjoy their family, while Yuna couldn't enjoy hers. Her love was gone and her family too.
