A/N: Is anyone besides my HealerAriel darling reading this? Cause last chappie I only had one review, which was by my darling HealerAriel. I know there are probably (and hopefully!) other people reading this that don't leave reviews, but remember, reviews are my lifeblood! (okay maybe not, but they make me want to write more!). So even if you don't like leaving reviews, could you pretty please just leave me a teeny comment on what you like/don't like about the story, how I can improve my writing, etc? Thanks!

HealerAriel: Yep, Tidus better be careful or some more of the newfangled Earth food might upset his tummy too! –mischievous snicker-

Chapter Seven – Dousing the fire

----------------------------

((Yuna's POV))

"Yuna!!" Paine shouted just as I had leaped off the deck of the airship to run towards the temple. There weren't enough black mages to douse the fire, I was going to help.

Fiddling around in the pouch on my belt I snatched my sphere grid and quickly turned into a black mage as I ran. "Rikku! Paine!" I shouted over my shoulder. "Come help me!"

"Coming, Yunie!" Rikku shouted back at me as she slid off the deck of the airship and changed into a black mage as well.

I slid to a stop into an empty space in the row of black mages already dousing the temple with their water spells. This time I knew needed to use all of my strength into the one giant spell I had used over Besaid. Slowly I drew my arms up past my sides to above my head as the multicolored spirals of my magic started to surround my body.

"Yuna! NO!" Paine shouted from behind me. Fortunately she wasn't close enough to stop me from summoning a more powerful spell than I had in Besaid.

Flicking my wrists, I focused all my magic into creating a giant cloud of rain right above the temple. Right before I blacked out, I could see the giant droplets of rain start to fall upon the temple, helping the other black mages to douse the temple in water.

"Yuna, he needs you to find him..." a familiar voce echoed inside my head.

"Where is he? Is he alright?"

"Oh yes... he's fine... but not for long..." the voice replied.

"Where is he?! I need to find him! I don't want him to disappear again!!"

"Oh he won't disappear... not yet... but he may disappear if he stays where he is too much longer." The little boy Fayth appeared in front of me. "I can't tell you where he is... but I can show you."

Right before my eyes, I could suddenly see Tidus as if I were staring at him through a slightly rippling pond. He was laying on a couch in a setting unfamiliar to me. "Tidus!!" I shouted right into his ear, it seemed. It had no effect. "Tidus! I'm coming to find you, I promise!" Tears started to flow down my cheeks as the vision of him faded into another of a view of a house. That then faded into a view of a planet. An unfamiliar planet.

"You can find him here." The Fayth whispered. "I may be able to help you find him, just not yet. Soon. I will let you know when."

The image of the boy faded. I screamed out in frustration inside my own head. Tidus was there, within my reach, and I couldn't do anything to help him!

"Yunie! Yunie, get up!"

I turned around, looking for the source of the voice.

"Rikku just leave her, she'll come out of it soon enough."

"But we need to tell her what happened to the statue of the Fayth in the temple!" The voice of my seventeen-year-old cousin whined in reply.

"That can wait until she gets up! There's no rush!"

"But what if she..."

The voice of my cousin was replaced by the voice of the boy.

"It is time..." He held out his hand. "Hold on."

Taking his hand in mine, I could feel the ice cold touch of the Fayth.

"I can only help you get there. You are going to have to find your own way back, Yuna." The Fayth explained. "Do you understand?"

I nodded.

-------------

When I opened my eyes, I was staring up into the bewildered faces of people standing around me. And my head hurt. A lot.

"Is she going to be alright?" someone from the circle of people whispered to another onlooker. "She went down pretty hard..."

Pushing myself up onto my elbows and then into a sitting position I observed the people around me. They all wore strange clothing; I couldn't see the robes of the Bevelle monks or the pointed hats of the black mages anywhere. Where had the Fayth taken me? I surely wasn't in Spira anymore...

"Here, take this." A female voice said beside me. "Put it on your bump, to keep the swelling down."

"Thanks..." I murmured as I took the cold object from the woman beside me and pressed it to the large bump on the back of my head. I winced.

"We should get you to a doctor, would you like me to take you?"

I turned my head towards the woman that had given me the cold thing to put on my head and nodded.

"My name's Amy, what's yours?"

"Yuna." I replied.

"Come with me Yuna, we'll get you to a doctor... you need to get your head checked out after that fall of yours." She offered her arm and helped me up off the cement.

"Seco.. ... tha.. come around wi.. those st...... cloth..." I barely heard someone whisper behind me. Did that mean Tidus was here, too? I had to find him before time ran out.

"Follow me, Yuna. We'll get you to the closest Emerg." Amy said and took my hand like I was a little five year old and led me out of the crowd and into the strange new world I was in.

Well? Hopefully it was worth the uber long wait... I just kinda get a little sad when people don't leave me purtyful reviewses. Just drop a note and let me know that you're reading it and even that makes me happy enough to want to type up another chappie, yes it does! So pleeeeease, review, it makes Indigofaery happy, yes!
