To Uri Chan: LOL Don't worry it. I will do the best I can to continue my story.
To Sk8er-kitty888: Don't worry girl, I got your back. I thought the relationship between Tidus and Rikku was more like the brother-sister type. So you don't really have to worry about it. Of course, what would a story like without conflicts. Will Tidus and Yuna really be together in my story? Only time will tell. Of course, if I was in a really bad mood, I just might had Tidus died for no good reason lol. Just kidding....or am I?
To The Crimina1: I'll try to update at least once every two weeks. So stay tune.
To ffx: lol yeah, I could image Tidus in bikini too. Of course I couldn't get too graphic about it, or this fan-fic will turned into a rate R story. (Although it might later anyway.)
To all viewers: Thanks for reading. I know there are some flaws, but please bear with me ...pretty please?

Chapter IV: Yuna's Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuna walked slowly on her way back to her hut. She was deep in thought about how she felt about Tikku. The first time she felt like this was when she met Tidus. She was lost in the same deep blue eyes. Tidus, a name, a memory she tried not to think too much of. It hurt her every time thinking that Tidus would never return to her. Although the fayth she met did say they would try to bring Tidus back, as time went by, her hope started to diminish. Now she was scared just to think about him....
"Yuna!" A voice broke Yuna out of her little world of thoughts.
Yuna turned to the voice and saw Lulu holding the baby. "Oh Lulu, it's you."
Lulu slowly walked up to Yuna. "Yuna you okay? You seem a little sad."
"No it's nothing." Yuna replied quickly.
Lulu had been Yuna's guardian for a long time, and when you had been with a person that long, it was easy to tell when that person was lying. Lulu decided to wait till Yuna was ready to tell her. Yuna could be so stubborn some time. However, she did not want to leave Yuna alone like this. She had a pretty good idea what was bothering Yuna. It must be Tidus. Yuna always had the same sadden look on her face, even teary, whenever she thought of him. Lulu grinded her teeth and let out a small whisper, "Damn you Tidus."
"What?" Yuna asked thinking Lulu was talking to her.
Lulu said, "Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you want to help me preparing dinner."
Yuna nodded remembering that she had nothing planned for the day. Besides, she would just be more depressed if she were along thinking about Tidus. She and Lulu then walked together to Lulu and Wakka's hut.
Tidus sneaked into Paine's hut as planned. Rikku told him that Paine always liked walk to the woods to find some poor fiends to slash at, just to made sure her skill was as keen as ever. He quickly walked into the washroom and loosened the showerhead. He exchanged it with the new showerhead that he and Rikku modified, which allowed the water flowed through the showered head to be mixed with the content it had. After Tidus setup Paine's brand new showerhead, he move on to the bedroom. He took out the 4 bottles of potions, dragon skin, and some bomb fragment and tie them with a timers. From what Rikku told him, Paine set a strict time routine for herself and always follow it. According to Rikku, Pain will sleep at exactly twelve o'clock sharp. Tidus set the timer with a very evil grin, and then sneak out Paine's hut.
*At the same time as Tidus sneaked into Paine's hut*
Rikku found Yuna helping Lulu with the dinner. She voluntarily helped them out, which puzzled Yuna and Lulu quite a bit since Rikku, always too hyper to stay in one place. Of course, what they didn't know is that Rikku planned to stick with either Lulu or Yuna for the day so she could have 'witness' to prove that she is not the criminal when Paine came. She couldn't help but giggled at what will become of Paine tomorrow. Lulu looked at Rikku and asked, "Rikky, you certainly look very happy today.... almost too happy. Is there something you want to share with us?"
Rikku thought to herself that she better not to raise any suspicion. She quickly made up an excuse, "Uh, nothing, I am just happy that Tikku, my childhood friend, comes and visit me."
"You two certainly looked very fond each other. Tell me Rikku, is he really your childhood friend, or you future 'boyfriend' ~" Yuna intended to ask the question playfully. What she didn't realize is that she spoke with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
Rikku jumped at the question, "NO! Of course not!" She exclaim.
Yuna somehow felt relief until Rikku hit her with her next sentence.
"Even if I want to, I can't. He already had someone he loved."
A mixed feeling rush to Yuna's head. It was a mixed of jealousy, sadness, lost, anger, and...guilt. Her heart ached and she felt she was going to cry. Yuna managed to squeeze out the words, "Uh, Lulu I just remembered there is something I need to take care of." She then ran out of Lulu and Wakka's hut. Lulu caught the look of Yuna's face, which was filled with confusion and sadness. Rikku was going to chase after Yuna after she saw the look at Yuna's face, but Lulu stopped her. "Let her be Rikku, she needed some time alone."
Yuna could not control her tear as she ran out the hut. Before she realized where she was going, she was already at one of the decks on the Bersaid beach. Yuna muttered, "Why....why do I felt like this. I still love Tidus right?"
She then shook her head violently, trying to shook out the image of Tikku...or rather, his familiar crystal blue eyes. Yuna then did the only thing she could think of....she whistled...once, twice, three times....until she felt her lungs are burning. Then she screamed, "AHHHHHHHH!"
Yuna's throat was dry from the screaming, and her eyes were sore from her not stop crying. She fell down on her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. Suddenly a pair of strong arms came around her shoulder and held her, tight.
Tidus heard Yuna whistling. He knew he shouldn't go....but he made a promise to Yuna that he would always come running whenever she whistled. Before he knew it, he ran.
As Tidus ran approach the dock, he saw Yuna screamed. It was full of desperation...and sorrow. It hurts Tidus's heart just to see Yuna like that. He slowly walked up to her back and did the only thing he could do.... he kneeled down and held her tight like the way he did right before he jumped off the dock and disappeared.
Yuna closed her eyes and slightly lean toward Tidus. It was warm. She didn't know who was behind her, but she didn't care. It had been a long time since she felt this peaceful. Arms around her shoulder gave her the feeling that they would protect her from anything. Yuna mind was begging her to free herself from some stranger's touch, but her heart, her soul was reluctant to let go. Just a little longer, her soul told her....just a little bit longer. What Yuna didn't notice that she put her hands on the arms around her and slightly hold on to them, not hard but firmly.
For a while, they could hear nothing but the sound of the wave...and their beating heart.
As much as Tidus would like to hold Yuna in his arms, it was getting late. It was time for him to go before other came out and found Yuna and him alone here. Things could get complicated. So he slowly loosened up his arms.
Yuna felt the arms around her were loosening up. Suddenly a fear that was so familiar swallowed her. It was the same fear before Tidus let go of his arms around her and jumped of the deck.
She panicked. "Don't....just a little bit longer? Please?" She begged. Immediately she felt the arms tightened around her again. She felt safe.... again. She let out a small, but relief sigh. Yuna never wanted to let the person behind her let go of his arms, just like she never wanted to let go....
Unexpectedly, a thought hit Yuna like a brick. There was only a person who held her and gave her the sense of calm this way, Tidus. She abruptly turned and saw Tikku, the so-called Rikku's childhood friend, the one who had the same crystal blue eyes, and the one who gave her the same feeling of security. Yuna thought, 'could it be?'
She asked with a shaky voice, "Tidus?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tidus was surprised when Yuna turned around and blurt out the word he never wanted Yuna to remember until he accomplished his goal – his name.
Tidus shook his head frantically. He wanted to say no, but that would have blown his cover.
Yuna for a moment was sure that Tikku was Tidus. However, she couldn't. Maybe she just needed someone to hold her. Maybe it was just false feeling. But she needed to be sure, and the only way to do that was....
"Could you take your 'mask' off please?" She asked gently yet demanding.
It was Tidus turn to panic. 'O crap' he thought. Yuna recognized him...but how? She probably wasn't too sure that it's him yet, that is why she asked him to take off the paper bag. Tidus knew what he had to do....he ran.
Yuna wasn't going to let 'Tikku' ran away. She desperately needed to know. 'Desperate time calls for desperate measure' she thought. She took up the black mage sphere and transformed.
Before Tidus knew what happen, a fireball was shot toward him and missed him by the hair. He turned and saw Yuna with her black mage outfit and a fireball in her arm. She spoke softly and apologetic, "Sorry, I just have to know."
Tidus was shock at Yuna's action, but there was no time to waste on wondering. He turned, and ran even faster.
Yuna let out a small sigh, whispered sorry, and shot out 5 multiple fireballs toward Tidus. She only used the 'fire' spell since she didn't hurt him. She just wanted to hit the paper bag mask then he would had to take it off.
Well Tidus managed to dodge 4 of the fireballs, but he couldn't dodge the one that aimed right at his mask. Just before the fireball was about to hit him....
"Relect!" A voiced yell and a transparent mirror-like wall reflected the fireball.
Rikku wasn't expected to see this when she came out to find Yuna. She had a pretty good idea what Yuna wanted to do. Rikku knew then she couldn't let Yuna found out about Tidus yet so she saved Tidus just in the neck of time. She jumped in front of Tidus and yelled to Yuna, "Yunie, what are you doing?"
"I just want to make sure he isn't Tidus." Yuna said miserably.
"Well he isn't. How can you do this? Look at him, shivering like a poor baby." Rikku pinched Tidus to signal Tidus to act like a coward. Tidus did get the clue and tighten up his muscle so hard, it looked as he was shivering. To add on that, he avoided eye-contact with Yuna. "And how could you shoot fire at him after what he had been through? Don't you remember that I tell you how fire burnt his face when he was little? He is scared of fire like I'm scared of thunder."
Yuna looked at Tikku, shivering. She finally realized how crazy she was, shooting fire at Tikku just because he gave her the same gentle feeling as Tidus. "I'm so sorry." She walked forward and tried to touch Tikku's shoulder. Tidus dodged Yuna's touch and let out a grunt like he was scared.
Rikku said firmly, "I think you should go now Yuna. Dinner is ready. Why don't you go eat something?"
Yuna sighed, softly apologized again to Tikku, and finally left.
"Whew, that was close." Tidus said.
Rikku slapped Tidus in the head, "What the hell did you think you were doing?"
Tidus looked down and said, "Yuna was whistling...I couldn't help it but ran to her."
Rikku knew what Tidus was talking about....his promise to Yuna.
"Never mind, what is done is done." Rikku said, "Why don't you wait in my place? I manage to snuck out some food before Lulu noticed."
Tidus nodded and stood up. "Yeah, by the way, since we finished the part of setting –prank-up-for-Paine-phase early. When should I meet you?"
Rikku smiled and said, "Just meet me in front of Yuna's hut at midnight then. I am going to have a sleepover with Yuna tonight.
Tidus nodded again and said, "Yeah, you make sure you have your 'witness' heh? I will see you then."
*Paine's Hut: 11:30 p.m.*
Paine was just finished shower and dressed in her black pajamas. Unlike most women, she had a special taste in clothing with black color. Everything she owned is black, well, most of them anyway. She can't live without it. Her clothes are black, her hair are black, her weapon was black, heck, even her sense of humor is black. Paine felt it suited her personally. Friends Paine could live without, but style was totally another story. She believed a person without a style was pretty a person without anything. Of course, sometimes having a bad style was worse than having no style at all. Rikku was one of them. Paine never really liked Rikku's taste in clothing. Well to tell the truth, she didn't really like anything about Rikku, from head to toe. Paine had to admit though, having Rikku around wasn't such a bad thing. At least you would never get bored. Annoying? Yes. Bored....hell no. That was probably the only reason Paine hadn't cut Rikku out of her life.
Paine walked to her bed and lied down. Before drifting into sleep, she couldn't help but wondered about what had happened to Yuna. During dinner, everyone was quiet. Due to the reason that Yuna was extremely upset for some reasons and not even wanted to look up. She just buried her face into the food in front of her, literally. Rikku did try to stir up some conversation, but it was no good. People around Yuna cared about her a lot. It was hard for them to be happy when someone closed to them was sad. To tell the truth, Paine was a bit jealous at the attention Yuna was getting. She was never really close to anyone. The closest relationship she had was with the three idiots, Gippal, Baralai, and Nooj, when she was back in the crimson squad. Maybe not Baralai, he always had been a gentleman and had her highest respect. She murmured, "I wonder what he is doing now...." Finally Paine drifted away from reality and into her dream.
At twelve clocked, the trap Tidus set up had been activated.
Bommmmmm. A small sound of explosion made it into Paine's ear. She jumped off the bed to see if she was in danger. However, all she saw was an orange mist filled in her room. "What the...." Paine said. Before she could figure out what happen, the orange gas had knocked her out, cold.
To Uri Chan: LOL Don't worry it. I will do the best I can to continue my story.
