My Light in the Dark

Chapter 6
Hiya readers! I hope you like my little story so far, I changed the summary to hopefully make the story longer and involve all of Final Fantasy X-2 characters. I hope I haven't confused anyone and I promise I will get the chapters out as fast as I can.
Thank you Irishsapphire for reviewing my last chapter, you rock!
Rikku paced in the hut that she shared with her cousin. Yuna and Tidus sat on the bed watching her walk back in forth in thought.
"This Gippal guy must be something if he makes Rikku stay quiet for so long." At his comment Tidus received an elbow in his stomach by Yuna.
"SHUT UP MEANIE!" Rikku screamed plopping herself down onto a chair across from the bed Tidus and Yuna were seated on.
"Geeze Rikku I was only kidding!" Tidus said putting his hands up in a defensive way. Tidus looked over to Yuna who was staring out of the window of the hut she too seemed lost in thought.
"Yuna...everything ok?" Tidus asked startling Yuna from her thoughts.
"Yes I was just thinking you know about everything...It has been a big week." Yuna looked into Tidus's eyes and grabbed his hand, Tidus squeezed hers and motioned for the door, Yuna nodded and the two looked at Rikku.
"Rikku do you mind if we leave? We have some business to attend to." Yuna asked.
"Yeah, yeah get outta here you too." Rikku waved the two off and returned to her pacing.
Tidus and Yuna walked threw the many people that had made their home in Besaid and walked towards the pier.
"So...things have really changed here haven't they?" Tidus asked. Yuna nodded turning towards Tidus her eyes were cast downward.
"There's something I've wanted to tell you...but I was afraid of how you might react. When you were gone all I could do was see you again. I didn't even care how...I almost gave up all hope. There were so many other men that told me that they would help me get over you...but I turned each one of them down. I'm sorry I almost gave up hope"
Tidus pulled Yuna's chin up with his finger and looked into her eyes. He noticed they held sadness, joy, relief, honesty, courage, and love.
"It doesn't matter anymore Yuna, all I wanted was your happiness it tore me into pieces when I thought about you being sad or angry. I replayed the night Sin had been defeated in my head...over and over wanting just to be there to comfort you make you never shed an unhappy tear again." Tidus wiped away a stray tear that had escaped Yuna's eye lid.
"If I was going to be gone forever I would want you to live as normal of a life as you deserve. I told you on the pilgrimage that the faith weren't going to take you and the final aeon without a fight and if I had the chance to disappear for the sake of you again...I would do it in a second." Yuna smiled and rapped her arms around him hugging him fiercely Tidus hugged her back and they shared a soul shattering kiss.
"Yuna...?" Paine's voice yelled from the beach. Yuna turned and waved to her friend Yuna and Tidus rushed over to where Paine was standing.
"So this must be Tidus..."
Rikku was still pacing back and forth she had gotten pretty close to calling Gippal on the commsphere but chickened out the second she turned it on.
'Why am I so nervous I've talked to him before?' Rikku asked herself.
'Maybe it's because you're scared to tell him how you feel.' Her self conscious answered.
'That must be it' She sat down and grabbed the commsphere.
"Gippal...?"
"Hey Cid's girl"
"Yep that's me" Tidus replied.
"It's nice to finally meet you Tidus. I'm Paine"
"It's nice too meet you too Yuna's told me a lot about you, you were part of the gullwings weren't you?" Tidus asked.
"Yep the 'P' part of the Gullwings" she answered her gaze shifted to Yuna who had been unusually quiet. Yuna was smiling happily at Tidus as though she was looking at a god...Paine knew that look all too well...
It was the look of love.
Gippal looked at Rikku threw the commsphere something didn't seem right with her. She was unusually quiet.
"What's wrong? You have another fight with Cid?" Gippal asked.
"No I didn't have another fight with Cid" Rikku responded sarcastically.
"Well then what's up?" he asked.
"Uh...um...do...do you think we...we could...get-together-next-weekend?" Rikku asked rather fast.
"What're you planning Rikku?" he asked.
"Nothing I just was asking" Rikku awaited Gippal's answer.
"Alright we can get together this weekend. I'll meet you in Luca at 11 on Saturday were doing a project there." Gippal shut off the commsphere and Rikku breathed a sign of relief.
"This Saturday" she squealed.
"So I hear that you were Yuna's guardian during her pilgrimage am I correct?" Paine asked Tidus.
"Yeah" Tidus answered simply.
"You're pretty special to Yuna she loves you a lot." Paine looked to Yuna who smiled and nodded.
"She's pretty special to me too" Tidus countered causing Yuna to blush uncontrollably.
"She's pretty lucky"
"No...I'm the Lucky one." Tidus looked over to Yuna who was sitting beside him her arm wrapped securely around his.
Paine smiled knowing that Yuna was in good hands she stood up and once again spoke.
"Well I have to get going Its getting late" Paine exited the beach leaving Tidus and Yuna alone to enjoy each others company.
Rikku had a hell of a time trying to pick out the perfect out fit for Saturday she concluded that she had absolutely nothing to wear and would have to go shopping in Luca the day before she met with Gippal.
Yuna and Tidus soon entered the hut. Yuna stared around wide-eyed at the hut she shared with Rikku the whole room was covered in clean clothes.
"Yunie we have absolutely no clothes! We're going to have to stay in Luca on Friday." Yuna nodded speechless and looked at Rikku.
"Rikku its past midnight why are you looking at clothes? Let me guess you're meeting with Gippal on Saturday?"
Well there we go chapter 6, I must say this is the best story I've written EVER! I love the way it's coming out and I can't wait for more reviews!
