Tidus and Yuna scrambled up to their feet and began running to where Rikku's scream came from.

"Wait Yuna!"

Yuna looked back to Tidus giving him a, there's-no-time-to-wait look.

"I don't have my Brotherhood anymore." His lips turned into an upside down smile.

Yuna quickly transformed into her Warrior Dress sphere and tossed Tidus his Brotherhood.

"Thanks." Tidus could barely manage to get out. His little Yuna was practically wearing nothing.

"Anytime." She gave him a quick smirk and transformed back into her Gunner Dress Sphere.

They quickly made their way to the front of the village and were shocked by what was in front of them. A large snake like creature was holding Rikku with its massive tail. It looked like a serpent but had no eyes. Instead right in the middle of its head laid a purple diamond. Long arms ran from its upper torso which looked like giant scythes ready to kill anything that came near it. To the right of the massive beast, Paine was knocked out unconscious.

"Rikku, Paine!" Yuna shouted.

The serpent like creature felt a new aura in the air. Though it was blind and couldn't hear it could feel a new presence. A long tongue protruded out of its large mouth to taste the air around it.

"Yunie!" Rikku shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Don't worry Rikku we'll save you!" Yuna quickly grabbed her guns from her sides and started shooting at the creature.

The creature growled in pain and started coming towards Yuna.

"Yuna! Watch out!" Tidus quickly dove for Yuna and knocked her out of the way before the serpent could chop her into bits with its long scythe arms.

The two quickly rose to their feet and jumped out of the way before the creature could strike at them again.

"Gah! What are we gonna do?" Yuna cried out breathlessly.

"Maybe you should try shooting that thing in the middle of its head. I'll try to distract it."

"Good idea."

Tidus went behind the large creature and shouted a few provoking words.

"Hey there ugly! Come and get a piece of me!" Tidus readied his sword.

The creature turned around, feeling the aura of some being behind it. It let out a war cry and charged for him.

Just then Yuna came up behind Tidus and jumped on his shoulders, shooting at the beast's only weakness.

It let out a shriek of pain and twisted its tail around in agony, causing Rikku to be flung out of its grasp, making her land on the soft sand.

"Owwie" She mumbled to herself quietly.

The beast collapsed to the ground letting out one final shriek as it took in its last breath as pyerflies flew out of its body.

"Rikku!" Yuna ran over to her cousin and crouched down beside her.

"It's alright Yunie. I'm fine, you should really be checking on Paine."

Yuna gave her cousin a questioning look.

"It's alright Yuna I'll go get her." Tidus gave her a quick smile and rushed over to get Paine.

"What happened Rikku? And where's Lulu and Wakka?"

"Wellâ€they went out to take Vidina for a walkâ€and well that thing just appeared." Rikku looked down into the sand trying to avert from Yuna's gaze.

"How did it just appear Rikku?"

"I don't know" Rikku said barely above a whisper.

"This doesn't make senseâ€why would a fiend just appear and attack the living daylights out of someone?"

Yuna decided she wouldn't press the matterâ€at least for now anyway.

"Hey Yunaâ€you might wanna check on Paineâ€she looks pretty beat up." Tidus shouted over to Yuna.

Yuna gave a soft sigh and said, "Well Rikku you should go get some restâ€there's a guest tent set up. It's the very last one to the right."

Rikku nodded and got up while brushing herself off.

"Thanks Yunie" Rikku gave a small smile and went off to her tent.

Yuna just gave one of her famous fake smiles and went to go help Paine.

Once she bent down to look at her friend's face she was tempted to cry. Paine had a large bruise on her cheek and a large wound to her stomach.

"Damn" She mumbled, her voice was at least an octave higher.

Yuna changed into her White Mage Dress Sphere and started to chant a spell. The wound on Paine's stomach seemed to get smaller and smaller as Yuna recited her chant whilst sweat dripped from her forehead. Once Paine's wound was completely gone, Yuna would have crashed to floor if Tidus hadn't caught her.

"Yuna" He whispered gently.

She looked up at him with her bi-colored orbs and brought her hand up to his masculine face, stroking it ever so gently.

"We should probably go to bed." She whispered.

He nodded and flung her over his shoulder.

Yuna giggled and said, "What are you doing?"

"I need to carry you and Paine silly."

Tidus flung Paine over his other shoulder and made an 'ugh-huff' kind of noise, making Yuna bust into furious laughter.

"Okayâ€whereâ€shouldâ€I dumpâ€her?" Tidus said in between pants.

"Last tent on the right." Yuna couldn't help but giggle at the way he staggered on his way to the tent.

"I can't be THAT heavy."

Tidus opened the tent flap and placed Paine on the other bed next to Rikku's. She let out a loud snore and turned over to her side, this of course caused Yuna and Tidus to start chuckling.

Tidus walked out the tent and took Yuna off his shoulder. He put her in his arms bridal style.

"Okay where's your tent missy?" Tidus asked spinning her around.

"That one." She said pointing to the left.

He walked over to the tent and went inside, placing Yuna gently on her feet.

"Uhâ€we're gonna have some explaining to do to Lulu and Wakka tomorrow Tidus." Yuna giggled and blushed profusely.

"Ahâ€who caresâ€they'll understand. We haven't seen one another for two years." He gently wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest.

She let out a sigh of happiness and replied, "You're right."

Yuna changed back into her Gunner Dress Sphere, while pulling away from Tidus.

"You really need to teach me more about those." Tidus's voice was incomplete awe.

"I willâ€just not today. Now if you'll excuse me mister, I need to get changed!" She gently shoved him out the tent.

He looked back at her with a smirk on his face and said, "But I would have covered my eyes."

"Oh yeah I'm so sure. Now out!"

Minutes later Yuna called out to him, "Okay you can come in now."

Tidus walked back in the tent, his eyes laid upon the beauty in front of him. She was wearing blue chocobo pajama pants with a white tank top that hugged each and every single curve she possessed.

"Oh Yevon she is so sexy"

"Don't get any funny ideas buster!" Yuna pointed an accusing finger at him.

"Wouldn't dream of it." He smiled while bringing her close to him, taking in her intoxicating scent. She rested one of her small delicate hands on his muscled chest, tracing each and every curve.

"We should probably get to sleep." He whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

"Oh my Yevonâ€he's so hot."

"Yeahâ€sleep" She mumbled, still mesmerized by him.

Tidus gently broke away and picked her up, laying her on the bed gently. He made his way to the other side of the bed and started removing his boots and jacket, only leaving his jean like shorts. He lay next to her while placing an arm around her small waist.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." She whispered back.

Yuna came closer to him, snuggling into his chest. She slowly closed her eyes, allowing herself to fall into another reality.
