Oh and Rikku47... On the very first chapter I mentioned that Rikku and Tidus were brother and sister but Rikku was NOT cousins with Yuna... (^_^)

"Hey, Yunie, how was your day back at school?" Rikku asked happily. "It wasn't that bad, but it definitely could have been better." Yuna said with a large and overwhelming sigh. "Well, thats good." Rikku said stutteringly, showing that she was up to something, and Rikku started tiptoeing over to Yuna with a chocobo sheet behind her back. Yuna wasn't looking at Rikku, for she was doing her homework, which was definitely one of the minus' of going to school. Rikku was laughing like a madman hunting its prey quietly. "Rikku, you're kinda freaking me out." Yuna said cautiously, and she turned around and...

"AHH! RIKKU! PUT ME DOWN!" Yuna yelled, trapped in the chocobo sheet trying to punch her way out, but it didn't feel like Rikku carrying her wherever she was going. They were the arms that once had held her so gently in his arms. "Oh my god! It's Tidus?!" Yuna whispered to herself, stopped punching immediately after the realization had came over her.

Finally, she was set down gently on a chair and was strapped to the seat. "RIKKU! LEMME GO! PLEASE!" Yuna cried loudly. "Yunie, I'll pull down the sheet if you be quiet, 'kay?" Rikku whispered. Yuna nodded, even covered by the thick sheets, still was visible. "Okay." Rikku said lifting up the covers, but quickly dropped the sheets to cover her ears from Yuna's piercing scream.

Yuna's scream was soon muffled by Tidus' soft hand, which had caused Yuna to open her eyes and stop screaming, and instead a tear come down from her cheek. Yuna remembered that hand, caressing her ever so gently, leaving Yuna with a bigger longing for the blitzball jock.

"WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!?" Yuna slightly yelled at Tidus, noticing that Rikku had left the room they were in. "B-because I-I, I-I, m-miss, you." He admitted, looking away from Yuna's face. Yuna had been squirming trying to get away from Tidus but she knew it was no use, but she had stopped when she heard those 3 words, 'I miss you'.

"W-what?" Yuna said, trying to catch Tidus' eyes, but he was looking away from Yuna. "I said I-Missed-You." Tidus said turning around facing Yuna.

She felt like the world had stopped, her heart was racing, and she felt like her heart was slowly being repaired, just by those words he had said.

"I know you probably don't wanna hear these words I'm about to say, but they've been stored up for a while and I need to tell you." Tidus said, locking his eyes with hers. Yuna didn't move at all, she just stared in his ocean blue eyes, something she had wanted to do for a long time. Yuna was really warm inside from his hands holding her shoulders gently, but firm also, and she was blushing uncontrollably and she couldn't hide her face either.

Tidus let go of her shoulders and walked over to the window where light was flowing from. "You know, I only broke up with you because," Tidus paused for a minute, just staring outside, the sun was dancing on his golden locks and illuminated his skin, giving him an ethereal look. Tidus had untied her from her chair, totally understanding if she would want to run away, but she didn't. She wanted to hear what Tidus had to say, there was no backing out now. "I broke up with you to protect you from Sierra, but I wasn't sure if I was actually in love with you, THEN." Tidus had finished.

Yuna felt like a rock had hit her stomach, did he just say that he didn't love her? But he had emphasized THEN, so she was very confused, but she still listened contently. Tidus had sat in a chair and looked up at the cieling, blocking eye contact with Yuna. "You know, at the beginning of the year, I looked at you and I had never seen you before, and I thought that I liked you because you were just really cute, but then I felt something else when I was close by you. I had never felt like that before, with any other girl, and I was confused." Tidus said.

"I felt like that too!" Yuna gasped. Yuna stepped closer, noticing Tidus' eyes. They were pained. They had been fighting back tears and the skin surrounding his eyes had been red. Then they turned to Yuna, and continued, "But then after a while I started getting used to the feeling, but even though I really couldn't tell what it was a sign of. But then that one day when I broken up with you, I felt so bad, and I had realized that the feeling I had meant that I was in love." Tidus said.

Then Tidus got up, facing Yuna, grabbing her hand, ready for Yuna to pull away, but she didn't. He just rubbed his thumb on the back of Yuna's hand and mentioned the 4 words. Tidus' eyes were locked on Yuna's, making sure she was paying attention.

"Yuna, I love you." Tidus said with confidence. "I'm not afraid anymore to say it. I LOVE YOU." Tidus smiled. Yuna's face now, was filled with tears of joy and she had a wide smile on her face, clearly visible to the man she had fallen in love with. "Tidus!" Yuna smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're back!" Yuna cried nuzzling her face in his shoulder for a second then pulling away. "I love you." Yuna said very serious then she smiled.

"Yuna, I missed you." Tidus smiled, tears of joy coming out of his ocean eyes. His eyes locked on Yuna's eyes again, as did hers, and they kissed with a passion known only to people in love. Yuna was so happy that she was back with her soulmate.

"Yuna, I know I sound silly, but I really do love you, and even though we are still young, this comes only once in a lifetime." Tidus whispered in her ear. Yuna just pulled him in a tighter embrace and she said, "Me too, me too."

"Tidus, we still have 'that girl' to take care of." Yuna said. "I know, I have no clue how to deal with it, but it'll come soon enough." Tidus said stroking Yuna's soft hair, smiling.

Yuna's life is back in order, but will it stay that way? They still have Sierra to take care of, but now they have the power of love at their side, and it will not falter.

Whoa, I think I did pretty good, 'eh?!

R&R!
