Drifting Apart

(Yuna's POV)

I watch, exhausted as the defeated corpse of Yu Yevon rises into the air, rings of energy surrounding it, until suddenly everything goes white. Everywhere I looked was total and complete whiteness. It seems to last that way for hours, when honestly it was a mere 30 seconds. When I regained my sights, I started to dance. Dancing for my fallen Aeons, and dancing for the fayth. I am dancing so they can awaken from there eternal slumber. I finally turn around and Auron catches my eye. Pyreflies are exiting from his body.

"Don't stop." Auron simply exclaims while maintaining a calm disposition.

I began to interject. ".But I."

Auron gives me a reassuring smile, and utters, "It's all right."

Auron begins to walk forward. I watch eagerly, as he walks to Wakka, and then to Kimahri. I make light of the situation and giggle inwardly at how Auron gave Kimahri a friendly hit on the chest. I continue to watch Auron, as he walks, silently bowing his head to all of his companions, when finally he stops in front of Tidus.

"It's been long enough." I hear Auron quietly articulate to Tidus. "

Auron once again starts trekking his way forward, pyreflies still emitting from him, until finally, he rests at the edge of the platform in which we are standing on. I look at Auron with deep sympathy shining in my eyes. I watch him as he looks at his sword proudly, and then back at us.

"This is your world now." He condoles.

I watch in disbelief as Auron begins to disappear, until at last he is completely vanished. I weep silent tears as I watch a friend whom I hold dear, disappear from my life. I start to perform the sending again while standing on the airship. I look around me as I see the Aeons hovering limply in the air. Finally, I look to the left and what I see before me astonishes me. Sin is falling to the ground, leaving a bright yellow light trailing behind it. Finally it is over. I sigh, and then turn to face Tidus. Tidus is beginning to fade. I shake my head, trying to rid the image before me from my mind.

"No!" I cry out, pain clearly evident in my voice.

Tidus turns to me and in a shaky voice states, "Yuna, I have to go."

Tidus takes a deep breath.

"I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand.Goodbye." Tidus quickly finishes, not wanting to see the hurt in my eyes.

"Hey!" I hear Wakka yell out from behind me.

"We're gonna see you again?" Rikku's question hang's heavy in the air.

"Yuna!" I hear Kimahri yell out my name, but I am in a panic, and decide to ignore his voice.

I'm not thinking clearly. How could I? The man I love, the man I have spent my adventures with and the man who has protected me from the time we laid our eyes on each other is beginning to fade away. I run to Tidus as fast as I can.but I pass right through him, and hit the airship floor with a painful thud. I can hear my friends gasp as I fell. But I don't care. I don't even care how much that hurt. The only thing I am thinking is the hurt I am feeling weighing down on my heart.

I watch silently as a single pyrefly flies up in front of my face. I finally stand up, my back to Tidus.

"I love you." I quietly proclaim to Tidus, hoping he can hear me.

I can hear Tidus' feet shuffling, and I turn to face him solemnly. Tidus walks up to me and places his half faded arms around my shoulders. He fades right through my body, and for that split second it felt like we were connected, heart, body and soul. He then turns away, jumping off the edge of the airship. I see him floating through the clouds until he completely vanishes.

(Yuna POV)

-

It's been a week, and still no sign of him. I am on the dock at Luca, facing the sea, whistling with all my power. You said if I whistled, you'd come. But your not here. I look down as a single tear rolls down my cheek. I begin whistling again, just hoping for the ever so faint of your response. I can hear faint footsteps coming up from behind me.

"Yuna, it's time." Lulu ever so gently exclaims.

I began walking to the Luca stadium once inside, I hear many loud cheers. I walk up to the balcony, and look, amazed, at all the people around me. I begin to start my motivational speech.

"Everyone...everyone has lost something precious."

"Everyone here has lost homes, dreams, and friends."

"Everybody..."

"Now, Sin is finally dead."

I wait patiently as loud clapping bellows out all around me. I resume once the clapping has quieted.

"Now, Spira is ours again."

"Working together..."

"Now we can make new homes for ourselves, and new dreams."

"Although I know the journey will be hard, we have lots of time."

"Together, we will rebuild Spira."

"The road is ahead of us, so let's start out today."

I turn around, and watch as Wakka nods to me. I look to the rest of my group, and see smiling faces. I then look back to the crowd, which is still cheering and clapping loudly.

"Just one more thing." I continue.

"The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded.never forget them."

I finish my speech with built up tears in my eyes, and turn around, to leave the ever so cheering crowd behind me.
