Just around the corner. chapter 9

This chapter is going to be a little different than the other chapters mainly because i got a great idea earlier. I was playin X-2 and 1000 words came on and i listened to the words and my story is just like it, so i decided to do a song chapter. in Yuna and Tidus POV hope you enjoy. o yeh, the incident of the hyper Zidane isnt going to get any more chapters because its gone! cries o and forgive me for any punctuation or spelling mistakes but i dont have word yet.

Disclaimer: right i have my gang of people who are going to help me storm squaresoft, wish i didnt have to give Tidus up on thursdays though, well i need the help so i dont mind. The badger and the beaver battalions have been set and we're going to attack tomorrow at one in the mornin!

Yuna POV

We are going to set off to find Tidus tomorrow morning, I wanted to go today but Lulu told me that we needed to get some supplies and rest before we begin our mission. I put up a huge fight but Lulu always wins in the end. I look out the window of my hut, its dark and somehow i can see Rikku pleading with Wakka to let her stay with me. I didn't really want her to sleep in my hut, i dont know why but i guess i just want some time to myself. I think back to my dream, Tidus seemed vague about what was happening,

I know that your hiding things, using gentle words to shelter me.

I had wanted it to be real, when he held me in my dream, I could smell him. A part of me knew he wasnt dead and it grew stronger as I gazed into his eyes, I wanted to believe him when he said he wasnt dead. My heart believed him but my head told me it wasnt true.

Your words were like a dream, but dreams could never fool me. Not that easily.

I can't believe I distanced myself from him, I shouted at him and all he did was try and comfort me. I wanted him to keep holding me but I knew that soon he would have to let go, I was tired of the pain in my heart. I tried to block it out by shouting and denying. I didnt want to hurt anymore. I thought my mind was just playing tricks on me, tormenting me with Tidus.

I acted so distant then didnt say goodbye before you left, but i was listening.

Even though i told myself he wasnt real the words stuck in my head, "i'm just around the corner." maybe he was. I believe now that he is. I have proof that he is, Wakka and Rikku both saw him and Rikku saw him in her dream. Something struck me like an arrow in my heart. At the end of my dream Tidus was hurt! Someone was beating him. I wanted to help him so much. I cant stand it that I am stuck here in this hut till tomorrow and even then it will take at least a week to reach Bevelle, then we have to find him. My heart knows that he doesnt have all the time in the world, in fact he doesnt have much. I remember when he found out he was going to die when we defeated Yevon. He didnt tell us, I pressed him to find out what was wrong but he wouldnt tell me, even after the talk with the faith. At the end where we stood on the ship and he wrapped his arms around me, I imagined what it must be like, to know that you are going to die in a few short minutes. He was strong. I whispered "I love you," as he jumped, my heart walked away and locked itself in a tiny room waiting for him to come and unlock the door.

You fight your battles far from me, far too easily.

I decided to catch some shut eye before we left next morning, i lay on the bed and drifted to sleep.

Tidus POV

Everything was black. My body felt numb, in fact i couldnt feel my body at all. I panicked, i recalled this feeling before when i jumped. Was I dead? had I been unconscious for 2 weeks? was my throat slit and did the wierd cult bastards control the fayth. I hated myself for holding that power. Why did I have to be so selfish and come back. The world around grew colours and I found myself outside the temple in Besaid. It was night-time. Was this a dream? I hoped it was. I ran to Wakkas hut and saw him, Lulu and Rikku asleep. I tried waking them but something told me I wouldnt be able to. I walked out and stood in the middle of the square. It was exactly how I remembered it except for one small hut at the end of the row. I walked towards it, and opened the door and went in. Yuna was asleep on the bed inside. My heart skipped a beat. I stepped forward and stroked her hair softly. Yuna sighed and opened her eyes. I smiled at her but my heart wrenched inside when i saw her eyes glistening.

Save your tears cos I'll come back. i could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door.

I threw my arms around her as she began to cry.

"You dont have long to live do you?" She asked. I didn't answer, I didn't want her to know that we would never embrace in real life. How had she found out? I had no hope left in me that I could be saved. My eyes threatened to cry again, but I would not be a cry baby.

But still i swore. to hide the pain when I turn back the pages

Fate is cruel to me. How many people have to go through with knowing that they are going to die. Probably a few have known that their life is to end soon. Like summoners, I have great respect for all summoners, to go through that journey knowing that if they succeed then they will perish. I have respect but I think they are all stupid. Life is precious. I realise that now, and they just gave theirs away willingly. I see the reason they did it though, one life or thousands? but its only for ten years, Sin would always come back. That was why our journey was special. I am calling myself stupid here, I knew that if we destroyed Yevon then I would cease to exist. so in fighting him I was sealing my fate, but i never existed in the first place so it didnt really matter did it? of course it did. I have feelings, I feel angry, happy, sad but most importantly I love. If that doesn't make me human then what does? how we enter this earth? Well that doesnt mean anything in my books. I just want to live and be with Yuna, I want to love her until we are old and grey. I want children with her, I want to marry her. The whole thing is just so damn unfair!

Shouting might have been the answer, but what if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart.

Tidus released Yuna from his embrace and stepped back.

"I know Yuna. I don't have all the time in the world, in fact i have about 2 weeks. I'm sorry i couldn't reach you," he looked down, ashamed that he had been captured. Yuna was shocked, why was he ashamed, she had heard about the fight from Wakka and Rikku, not many could hold out against that many machina. She noticed a tear slip down his cheek and she suddenly felt angry, was he giving up? he had two weeks left, maybe that wasnt long but it was long enough for her to find him. she grabbed his face and forced him to look into her eyes.

but now i'm not afraid to say whats in my heart

"Tidus, Don't give up! I love you and would rather die than see you losing hope. I'm coming to save you, we all are so don't give up, please." He gazed into her bi coloured eyes, and suddenly he knew that he wouldn't die, not yet anyway.

"I love you too Yuna."

And thats the end of this chapter, it was a bit angsty but was it ok? this is the first songfic i ever wrote, tell me in a review whether i should scrap it. Its not the end of the story tho, (lol bet u wish it were) though, this could be the end of this story and I could write a sequel. hmmm ::mulls over whether I should or not:: well, I'll leave it to you guys, more chapters or a sequel?
